subject Of labor. the first Monday In Sep
TENDER of each year has been by the law
making body set apart as a legal holiday.

monies and exercises as may be appropri-
at to so vital an occasion. 1t is my sincere
desire that the day be celebrated not alone

who employ, and by all who feel a concern
for their country's welfare. l recommend
that far possible the factory, work
shop. store and other places wherein labor
is employed be closed, to the end that the
forces which have contributed so gener-
ously to the prosperity of the state and the
nation be given an opportunity to enjoy
the holiday and participate in the festivities

Yard Inspector
Tells of Illinois
Central Graft
Describes Removal of Equipment
from Cars by 0stermanns
Orders.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3L-Fred c. Barbott,
yard inspector for the Ostermann Manufac-
turing Co., one Of the concerns charged
with grating in Illinois Central railroad
car repair contracts, today on the witness
stand in the municipal court described in
detail methods which he said were used to
defraud the railroad company. Barbott
said the Illinois oars in strings" Of from
ten to fourteen, were switched into the
yards of the Ostermann plant at the close
of the working day. Then at night he
said Henry G. Ostermann, president of the
Ostermann company frequently directed the
dismantling Of the cars. Air hose, angle
cocks, brake shoes, bolts and various other
equipment were then stripped from the
cars, Barbott testified. Water was then
applied to the vasfous parts where equip
ment had been removed, the witness de-
Jared, SO that rust would form and make
the absence of equipment appear old. The
equipment taken from the cars was kept
by the ostermapn, company, said Barbott, to
make repairs. IN this way testified the
witness, the RAILROAD company was paying
at least twice FOR much of its car equip
ment.
Barbott also declared that some of the
Illinois Centrals car inspectors were re-
ceiving pay checks from the Ostermann
company and that he had seen various
Illinois Central officials including Frank
b. Hartman, former general manager, visit
ostermann's offices in the shop yards.
II was said late today that officials from
the general Offices of the Illinois Central
railroad will be placed on the witness stand
tomorrow in an effort to show exactly If
possible how much the railroad claims to
have lost in the car repairs

Young Womens Cristian association build
ing forming large part OF this first inn
preston. Since leaving Detroit, the head

ference at Lake Geneva
In experience in the association work, the

LlVESTOCE RECORDS BROKEN
More Cars Of Stock Received Wednes-
day Than Ever Before.
WEEK WILL RUN WAY UP
Overstock ON Ranges, Dry Ranges
and High Prices Paid Are Fac
tors Causing the Great
Movement.

All previous live stock records were shat
tered at the South Omaha market by the
receipt Of over $50 cars Of stock Wednes-
day. Though the number OF sheep, hogs
and cattle, respectively. shipped In during
the day we're each below a former high
mark, the total of all exceeded by an
enormous margin any run that ever before
has been made upon the local yards.
1t is expected that this week will prove
the largest in point Of live stock movement
in the history OF the market. The usual
condition is declared to be directly the re-
suit Of high prosperity on the ranges. All
reports from the west indicate that the
live stock lands are overstocked and the
ranchers under the necessity OF making
earlier shipments than ever before. Also II
ls explained that a portion of the sheep
territory is suffering to a certain extent
with dry ranges. Last, but not least, a
large influence toward the live stock move
ment is the Increased prices paid on the
market. The prices are up to a good figure
and apparently will hold firm for some
time.
Up to 10 o'clock there had been received
$500 hogs, $1,000 sheep and 11,7OO cattle,
with more coming in all the time.
Following is a comparison of the ship
ments for the week thus far with those
OF the same week last year:
Cattle. Hogs Sheep.

while working with companions on a raft
in the vicinity of Fourth and K streets,
in an endeavor to clear away driftwood
that encountered the tracks, fell into the
water just at the opening of sewer con-
struction for draining the yards. He was
at once drawn by the suction into the
mouth OF the sewer, which was wholly OBJ
secured by the flood, and thirty minutes
later his lifeless body emerged from the
lower end of the drain.
Antelope creek was within six inches of
the high water mark established during
the Bryan campaign of two years ago,
but through the warnings received in time
the damage on the Antelope bottom was
comparatively slight. Salt creek was not
so high as it was two years ago, but still
high enough to drive people from their
homes in the west bottoms and to infict
damage to the extent of several thousand
dollars in amounts Of $3.50 each and less.
Salt creek opposite the south end of the
viaduct encountered the crest of the flood

which time the waters have been gradually
Ieceding, until Tuesday morning the dan
ger of further damage was past The crest

Vast Area of Farm Lands Around
Omaha Reported sold TO Many
Farmers Recently.

AS proof of the fact that the farm terri

Payne Investment company has figures
showing that it has sold almost $1,000 acres
OF land in this country.
The farms sold were chiefly for irriga-
ton and at the time of sale were valued at
over $s,O0OOOO, and have since then grown
considerably in value. The value OF the
sales to Omaha is, IN fact, that on every
farm sold there was placed a farmer, the

ADVERTISING TALKS
tContinued from rage oneJ

$150-the postage cost another
500, the envelopes and address,

expense Of $500.
That $500 would have given
the concern a column advertise
ment IN THREE NEW YORK

culatlon of at least one-half mil

A column advertisement placed

OF THEM, and the immediate
response and resulting sales
would ut least pay the cost of the
advertising,
Besides, a column advertise
ment would give the merchant a
chance TO tell the public what he
had TO offer, as he surely
wouldn't be foolish enough to
state in any advertisement only
what he stated on his card.
