DR.. w. S. white Mt HIS
Home.
According to reports on file at the ofice
Of the Bureau OF Animal Industry here
the government is making great Roadway
in stamping out hog cholera In the terri
tory tributary to the South Omaha mar
ket During the month Of June Of the
present year something like 10000 hogs
were packed here. Every head was in
spected by the government employees ana
out of this enormous total only twenty
head were condemned on account Of being
afflicted with cholera. This showing is
one that is decidedly pleasing to govern
ment officials inspecting stock at this
point.
orders for foreign shipments are coming
in fast enough now to keep the entire
microscoplcal force working about full
time In fact 1t was only short time
ago that e. A. Cudahy complained that he
could not get his inspection work done fast
enough. This complaint was the cause of
putting on additional help.
Government inspectors now declare that
purchasers Of feeder cattle and sheep al
most always insist on animals being
dipped, where at first the dipping was OPP
posed In some instances hogs are dipped
the same as sheep and in practically the
same solution. Diseases in sheep are also
being rapidly stamped out by the rigid
government inspection at not only this
market but at all other live stock markets
Even IL local merchants complain about
dull times there seems to be no falling
of in the inspection department of the
government here and a full force Of taggers
is kept busy during working hours.
| It is expected that within a short time
now the receipts of cattle will Increase
as the movement of range cattle has al
ready started in a small way. During
August heavy shipments of grass fed cat
tie are expected here.

church. Following Rev. VanWinkle's fu-
neral sermon, Rev. DIR. Robert l.. Wheeler,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
spoke, and Rev. Andrew Renwick, pastor
OF the United Presbyterian church also
delivered an address. The three ministers
spoke in words Of praise Of the deceased
as a man, a Christian and a physician. A
selected choir from the First Baptist
church, under the leadership of Charles
Marsh of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation rendered several selections. The
floral tributes were beautiful and numer-
GUS Nearly all of the down stairs rooms
of the dwelling were filled with wreaths'
bouquets and designs of every sort.
