AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
First Grass Fed Cattle Of Season
Reach Stock Yards.
HOG RECEIPTS INCREASING
Grade Schools Hold Graduating Exer-
cIses-Miss TFumble of Chicago
Dies Suddenly at Home of
John Colvin.

The season for grass-fed cattle has ar
rived in South Omaha. During the present
week the first shipments arrived. From
this time on each day will show a large
percentage of gain in this class Of stock.
Along with these grass-fed cattle will come
a few summer beeves on a long feed Of
corn. Last year there were few summer
fed cattle for the reason that the panic Of
1907 came at a time when feeders would
naturally have bought these cattle. The
only trouble this season has been the high
price of corn prevailing. However, the
stockmen are looking for a much larger
number Of summer-fed cattle than last
year. The combination of the two classes
OF cattle will probably keep up the steady
increase in receipts over the figures Of
last year from this time on.
Beeves we'll fattened on grass bring a
price not far below the corn-red cattle.
They are killed largely by the packers.
The element Of loss in grass-fed cattle
arises because the animals dress away
much more than the animals fattened on
concentrated food.
The hog market of South Omaha remains
steadily in the race with other centers.
Prices held up fairly well yesterday, a top
Of S7.65 being paid. Larger receipts have
been coming in Of .lateN The comparative
statements will show a slight decrease
over last years figures.
Miss Anna +. TrumbIe Dead
Miss Anna F. Trumble of Chicago, aged
a, died suddenly yesterday morning at the

dav or two ago and was passing a short

- -,Iot,vrag uawf nnffeaA her she was dead.
She is survived by her mother, three sisters
and three brothers. These relatives are
expected to arrive Il South Omaha today.
No Arrangement for the funeral has been
made. It is probable that the body will be
sent to Moline, Ill.
Graduating Exercises.
The South Omaha grades held most OF
their graduating exercises yesterday. The
Lincoln school celebrated the occasion by
defeating several pieces OF s~tatuary. The
program consisted of several musical num-
bers and readings by the children OF the
Lincoln grades, and addresses by Rev
James Wise and DIR. r. L. Wheeler. Not
all the statues have been mounted as yet,
but enough progress had been made tc
make the program in every way apprO-
pirate. A large class was passed from the
eighth grade into the high school.

tee meeting on the boundaries Of the new
