At the meeting of the National Live Stock
exchange held at st. Paul last week, Bruce
McCulloch of this city read an interesting
paper giving a brief review CT the live stock
conditions in the territory tributary to
Omaha. Among other things Mr.. McCulloch
said:
''It is manifestly impossible from the data
at hand to give out anything like an au-
thortative or correct estimate of the num-
Der of cattle, hogs and sheep in the state.
1t is all more or less guess work, but stock
yards people ought to be in a position to
come about as near the truth as anyone,
and taking all the conditions into consider
alton it is perfectly safe to assume that at
the present time there are within the con-
fines of Nebraska 1,195, 900 cattle, 45O, 900
milch cows, 900 sheep and 100000 hogs.
Since January 1, over 100000 cattle have
been shipped into the state from Omaha,
Denver, Sioux City and Kansas City, and
probably half as many more have been
placed in feed lots without going through
any of the market centers. Men we'll posted
on the situation say that there were never
SO many cattle of all kinds in the state OF
Nebraska as there are at present. With
splendid crops and good prices for the last
two years, the abandoned ranches of the
state have been restocked, more breeding is
being done than ever before and the feed
lots and pastures have been filling up at a
rapid rate. While there may be and un-
doubtedly is a shortage of cattle in the
United States, there is no shortage in Ne
braska this year. The state ranked fifth in
the list of big cattle states of the union in
1899 and will easily hold, If 1t does not i'm
prove, that position this year"

Mayor Ensor's stable adjoining his resi-
dence at Twenty-third and B streets was
entirely destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock Sun
day morning. A horse, COW and dog were also
burned to DEATH along with a winters sup
ply of feed, several sets OF harness and a
buggy. 1t is estimated that the loss will be
in the neighborhood of $1,500 with about
$500 insurance. The mayor is confident that
the fire was of ncendiary origin. He says
the flames started at the northwest corner
OF the barn and ran quickly UP the wall to
the loft where quantity of hay was stored.
A hired man was sleeping in room up
stairs in the barn and barely escaped. AS
it was his face was blistered by the heat
and flames as he made his way down the
stairs and to the open air. The wind was
blowing briskly at the time and it was with
difficulty that the house was saved. 1t is
stated by the mayor that the water pressure
was very low and that it was impossible to
throw a stream OF water to the roof of the
barn. A dead tree standing near the barn
and estimated to be not more than twenty
five feet high caught fire at the top, but the
pressure was not strong enough to throw a
stream to the top of the tree.
In connection with the low pressure al
the hydrant Mayor Ensor says that the pity
Is paying the Omaha Water company quite
sum of money each year for hydrait
rental and he does not consider that the
pressure is maintained according to con-
tract.
1t is the intention of the mayor to send
q communication to the city council citing
proof of low pressure and request that steps
be taken to ensure a fulfillment OF the coh-
tract, especially as regards pressure.
While the firemen were working at Ensor's
house wrecking car standing on the track
near the Q street viaduct was discovered
to be on fire and portion of the depart
ment was sent to extinguish this blaze.

"Mr. Editor" said a lady coming into
the Office sanctum the other day. "Mr.

cises whatever. The school is not as
sembled with reading the Bible or the
Lords Prayer, and sectsrianism prevails

not think the children should assemble
from day to day in their class rooms and
not even repeat the Lords Prayer while
all Christian religions recognize. am
glad your Eastern schools continue to
open their daily sessions with some ac-
acknowledgement to the 'giver of all good

Cannot something be DONE. said
lady who is often on the street in early
morning. "Cannot something be done
to break up this habit of expectorating
on the sidewalk? If there is anything
more disgusting, unsightly and unhealthy
am sure do not know of any such
thing. In these days of trailing skirts
the sidewalk, used as cuspidor. is all
the more offensive. and as to germs. these
fashionable receptacles for dust and street
sweeping must abound with them. In
other cities there are laws prohibiting the
unsanitary habit OF expectorating on the
sidewalk, and do not see why we cant
have such one here. 1t is matter for
