AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Live Stock Exchange Discusses the Fancy
Stock Show.
COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE MATTERS
Breeders and Others VIII BE Given an
Opportunity for Expressing Opin-
Ions Before Any Dehnite
Action IL Taken.

Live stock men, not only in South Omaha,
but all over Nebraska, are interested in the
proposed show OF fancy cattle to be held
here next year. At the meeting Of the
South Omaha Live Stock exchange yester-
day afternoon the matter was brought up
and it was decided that a committee should
be appointed to investigate. This COM
mittee is made up as follows: Captain d.
S. Parkhurst, president Of the exchange:
w. ]. c. Kenyon, general manager Of the
, Union Stock Yards company, and ]. NJ.
Guild, secretary OF the Live Stock ex-
change.
Captain Parkhurst said last night that
the mission of the committee was to see
what could be lone toward securing a first
class show. The idea of the exchange is
to have the committee correspond with
breeders connected with the different asso-
Citations in the western part Of the country
and to ask assistance. Communication
will also be sent to the Omaha Commercial
club and the club will be requested to do
what II can. No definite plans were made
by the exchange, as the discussion and the
appointment Of the committee came along
toward the end Of the proceedings. The
members Of the exchange seem to think
that the matter is in good hands and will
receive proper attention, A report OF the
committee will not be made to the exchange
until January.
1t was expected that officers for the en-
suing year would be nominated by the ex-
change yesterday, but this matter was laid
over until the latter part Of the week.
A resolution. for the licensing OF trav-
cling solicitors was turned down. In lieu
of this a substitute was offered recon-
mending that all solicitors be members OF
the exchange. This amendment will be
considered at the January meeting OF the
exchange. There was some talk about rail-
road rates, etc, but the matter was re-
ferred to a committee.
City Council Meets.
Mayor Koutsky had his way last night
when he sent in a veto to the council In
relation to the payment Of $50 to Clark
Howard for services alleged to have been
rendered as city stock inspector. In his
veto the mayor held that the finance COM
mittee had no right to place the name Of
Howard on the appropriation sheet, as the
office had been declared vacant. When q
vote was called on the vetos three Of the
four members present voted against the
mayor. Mike Smith stood by the admins
%tration. The mayor declared that as a

was some discussion and the city charter
was brought out and the three opposlnl
members pored over its contents for some
time. The mayor finally called the council
to order and other business was proceeded
with. AS it is now, the veto of the mayor
stands. One of the members Of the council
said after the meeting that 1t would only
be for a month, as next month a majority
Of the council would vote in favor Of giving
Howard his salary and retaining him in hi'
position.
