HEAVY DEMAND FOR FEEDERS
MOre shipments of Young Cattle
Now han In Any Preced-
tnE August.

The favorable outlook for a bumper corn
crop is having a very beneficial effect upon
the demand for young cattle on the South
Omaha market. The splendid condition Of
pastures is also making the demand for
feeders unusually heavy, as farmers are
almost obliged to have stock to eat up the
surplus grass. 1t may safely be said that
never before in the history of the South
Omaha market have al many cattle, at this
time Of year. been shipped to the country
~ during the last three days. The average
number OF cars has been right around sew
enty-hve per day. More than that have been
shipped out in September and October, but
never In August.
Another feature Of the demand for stock
cattle is the way In which the country is
discriminating against horned cattle. For
some time past dehorned cattle have sold
10 to Is cents per 100 pounds higher than
the same quality Of horned cattle, but this
season the difference is all the way from
70 to 40 cents per 100 pounds. The gen
erai impression among cattlemen is that
this will have a marked tendency to make
western ranehmen. as well as farmers. IN
this section OF the country. grow hornless

!. A. SUNDERLAND KILLED
Telegram from Kansaa City Gives
Brief Account of n Fatal
Accident.

A telegram was received in Omaha yes
terday stating that L. A. Sunderland of
this city had been killed Just out Of Kansas
City.
Mr.. Sunderland resided at 1886 North
Twenty-frst street. and Of his immediate
family leaves a widow and a daughter Is
years Of age. He was 50 years OF age and
had resided In Omaha for the last twenty
one years. He was a member OF the Royal
Arcanum lodge and the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers. He had two broth
ers residing in Council Bluffs and they have
been notified.
The family has not yet instructed the
railroad company what TO do with the body
and will do nothing until more particulars
are received. The railroad company ON
cials in omaha said they had received no
word Of a wreck or collision, but that II one
had occurred on the other side of Kansas
City it would not likely be reported here.
A dispatch received from Kansas City
yesterday says l. A.. Sunderland, an
engineer on the Missouri Pacific, was killed
Tuesday at Leeds. Mo. Sunderland was
standing on the front platform Of the ca
boose when a switch engine backed into II,
throwing him beneath the car. His right
arm was nearly severed from the body and
he suffered a severe blow on the head. An
engine and caboose started Immediately for
Kansas City with the injured man, but he
died on the way.

FOR OPENING OF FESTIVAL
Arrangements at Capitol Avenue
Musical Pavilion Arc Being
Hurried Along.

Yesterday morning the ADVANCE sale Of
seats at the musical festival box once had
reached an aggregate of 900, and Just be-
fore the rain, which came on about noon.
the demand increased to a great extent.
There are only 1900 reserved sats, and the
prospect IL that they will all be sold before
the gate opens tonight.
The pavilion was a scene Of the greatest
activity yesterday. The carpenters were put
ting the finishing touches upon the work
and had everything completed last evening,
except the decorative work on the entrance,
which will not be In place until this
morning. The electrical wiring is being
pushed rapidly and will present some pleas
ing features. Last year and the year be-
fore the lights were all clear, but colored
lamps will add to the attractiveness Of the
scene this season, and in the booths many
Japanese lights will be used. The Barber
Asphalt company has donated to the COM
mittee suflcient gravel to make the
grounds dry and comfortable, and this COW
ering Is now being put In place. The con-
nection between the tent and the stage is
being made 80 hat no flood Of water can
fall upon the audience seated near the stand,
as happened during rainy nights In pre-
vious seasons.
The plans of the architect have been con-
siderably changed since their first draft.
and the pagoda which was to have been
erected inside Of the grounds has been aban-
doned. the Japanese decoration having been
transferred to the grand entrance. More
artistic work has been put upon this en-
trance and when It the lights are turned on
1t will present a pleasing effect.

EARNINGS OF UNION PACIFIC
Passenger OmciaIs Say Earnings Will
show increase Despite
the Strike.

would 1t surprise you to hear that, de-
spite this big strike, as people think. the
Union Pacihc's earnings for the last month
are making a heavier increase than was
ever known in the history of the company
asked a passenger oflcial Of that compan
yesterday.
well, that is a fact. nevertheless" he
said. Our passenger and freight traffic
both have made great strides during the
last few weeks, so that they will bring the
months earnings up to q figure far above
the average maximum. The next monthly
report will reveal many interesting and
doubtless surprising facts"
Asked how he accounted for this state Of
affairs, the oficial said:
That's very easy. The financial condi-
tion Of this road was at its very best when
this strike came on and this enabled the
company to meet the exigencies without
any trouble whatever. The financial
strength Of the Union Pacific is at its best"
but granting the undiminished potency
CO the reads financial strength since the
strike began, would not the motive power
naturally be somewhat affected, and would
his not be the real measure Of strength
after alI7" was asked.
I'VE insist that our motive power Il not
sufficiently affected as to injure our trans
portation facilities. to any appreciable ex-
tent. / admit that this Ia the heaviest pas
senger traffic period of the year and l sup
pose It is a fact that II the strike had not
occurred the proportion of our increases
would have been larger" he said after be-
ing questioned on that point but never
theless the earnings of the old Union Pa
cihc are advancing every day regardless Of
the strike"

stands Ready to Help

At the meeting of the Real Estate ex-
change a committee was appointed to offer
its services as n mediator between the
Union Pacific railroad and its striking en-
ployes. Several Members Of the exchange
said that they had been approached by the
employees, both strikers and others, asking
them to take this action, as they feared that
unless the trouble is settled soon II will
affect other branches Of the service. Mem
bers of the exchange referred to the eff
feet a prolonged strike would have upon
rentals and after considerable discussion the
committee, which consists Of @. s. Benawa,
p. A. Benson and A. P. Turkey, was in
struoted to tender the service Of the ex-
change to the parties II 1t was found that
mediation was desired by them.

IDEAS FOR PARKS OF OMAHA
Parh Commissioner GOnden Gathers
Some Pointers Will visiting
Eastern cities.

Park COMMISSIONS L. N. Gonden has Just
returned from an eastern trip, in the course
Of which he attended the convention Of the
American Park and outdoor Art a~ssocia-
tion, held at Boston August 5 to s inclusive.
Mr.. Gonden returns with renewed en-
thusiasm In the way of park and boulevard
improvement, and from the proceedings Of
the convention and his visits to parks in
the cities in which he stopped during his
trip has CLEANED many ideas which may
later be found applicable to the local sltua-
ton. In conversation with a representa-
tive Of The Bee he said:
81 am more than ever convinced that any
city which has not a good park system is
lacking in one Of the very important essen
tails to make it a desirable place Of resi-
dence and a successful municipality, 1
have visited the parks in New York, Boston,
Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia
and have found that all Of those cities are
giving much attention to their parks and
making important and extensive improve
ments all the time. l noticed that all Of the
most attractive parks which 1 saw had a
well-kept appearance. and while nature was
given full sway in SOM respects It was not
permitted to run wild entirely. 1 am not in
favor Of cutting out all shrubbery in our
parks, as l was once quoted as having said,
and l do not believe in destroying any trees
or even bushes; but l do prefer to see
things trimmed up where It is necessary
and not permitted to run to underbrush.
In some places hedge fences may be all
right, but / do not like TO see them In our
city parks. In short, l like to see signs Of
cultivation in the parks and indications that
they are properly looked after and not per-
mitted to take care of themselves"

ARMY OFFICERS ARE SCARCE
Many Assigned for Post Duties and
others on Leave of
Absence.

When Company B Of the Twenty second
infantry passed through Omaha Tuesday
evening for Fort Logan II. Roots, Ark, II
was In charge OF First Lieutenant David L.
Stone, adjutant of the third battalion Of the
regiment, and no company officer was with II.
When II arrives at its destination II will
ind another company in command of the
second lieutenant, the captain and first lieu
tenant being absent from the post from one
cause or another. while all officers Of Com
pany B are absent. This condition is not
confined to any one regiment in the army
but there is a scarcity of effective officers in
all departments which seriously cripples the
service. An army officer said:
There have never been enough officers
In the United States army for anything but
the most peaceful times, and since the army
was enlarged to it's present peace footing
the necessity for more officers is still more
apparent. In every post there are required
q number OF officers to hold post positions.
They are always detailed from the COM
panies occupying the posts and when all off,
GERS are on duty with their regiments and
companies there are enough to attend to
the business, but there are very few times
when all officers are present. Sickness and
Dther pressing reasons will take SON from
their commands and then someone must per-
form double duty.
when the war with Spain began the in
adequate number of officers caused a seri-
Gus condition of affairs. Officers who should
have been present with their companies at
that time, If ever, were withdrawn to be-
some quartermasters, commissary officers
and to NIL other staff positions. A large
number were detailed on recruiting service,
and in the Philippines and in Cuba, after
the army occupied those islands, numbers
were called upon to I'LL civil positions, as
collectors Of customs, governors and like
positions.
"At the present time the tendency is to
increase the number Of officers with the
troops, as many detailed on stan, recruiting
and civil work are returning, but many
who come from the Philippines on account
Of diseases contracted in the tropics and
extent Of time absent from home have re-
ceived leaves Of absence.
THE thing is done different in the armies
of European countries. The STATS are or
ganlzed 80 that in time of war the depot
battalions take the places occupied in this
country by officers detailed from the line.
The politicians and legislators are not en-
tirely to blame for the present condition,
as there are many officers in the army who
believe that three officers to a company are
suficient, but II they had to provide officers
for the companies now in the Department
OF the Missouri from the officers obtainable
they might change their opinions"

BRINGS FORTH BUT A MOUSE
Slot Machine Reform" Of New Polio. BOart
Amounts to Nothing.
NO CHANGE FROM USUAL POLICE POLICY
Christian Endeavorers, MIsinformea
by yellow Newspapers, Give
Thanks for Something that
Has Been Done for Months.

h City Christian Endeavor union Tues
day night instructed one Of It's committees
to send to the new Fire and Police commits
sioners a vote Of thanks Of the Christian En-
deavorers of Omaha for their action in
ordering the removal Of slot machipes."
This municipal reform for which the En-
deavorers are so thankful and about which
they have evidently been misinformed, con-
templates nothing more than a continuance
Of the policy the police department has
been following for months and 1t may result
In the closing Of as many as six slot ma
chimes In the immediate future. The reso-
luton OF the new fire and police board says:
Resolved, That the chief Of police be
instructed to remove all slot machines
except merchandise delivered at the time
of operation; also to remove all slot ma
chimes, in which lewd pictures are ex-
Commissioner Broatch Of the new board
has received a number OF complaints from
merchants who had been led to believe
that the new order contemplated the re-
moval Of the trade check machines, and
yesterday morning he made the following
statement:
THE resolution aims only at the money
paying and lewd picture machines. Those
that pay in merchandise will not be dis
turbed. II a mar should win a number Of
cigars he may take checks for them, pro-
vided he does not exchange the checks for
cash later on"
According to the understanding Of the
new police board, then, only the cash and
lewd picture machines are to be disturbed,
and these have for months been the subject Of
police seizures. For over a year, in fact,
the police have been conflscating money ma
chimes as fast as they could find them in
operation. The order Of the new board does
not change the practice in regard to slot
machines a particle, although 1t 10 we'll
known that the element OF chance which
constitutes the gambling feature is as much
the real factor in the trade machines as in
the money machines.
