Omaha, Neb., May 13.-The protest
OF the stockmen of the west against
the offer of medals as awards in the
live stock department of the Trans
Mississippi Exposition has resulted in
unanimous decision of the Board of
Directors to substitute cash for medals.
Stockmen declare that this change will
result in making the live stock section
of the exposition the greatest show of
live stock ever held in the United
States. The resolution which was
adopted was as follows:
ResoIped, That this board hereby
directs the executive committee to re-
consider the subject of live stock pre-
miums and instructs the committee to
offer cash prizes amounting to $35, 900
in place of medals.
The announcement of this offer was
made to the directors by General Man
derson, representing the South Omaha
Stock Yards Company.
