AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Sheepmen Fear Cold and Snow May
Injure Stock.
FEED IS RUSHED TO WYOMING
Many OF Small Elevators In state,
IL ~ said, sending Ninety Per
Cent Of Corn 90 the
Ranges.

Sheepmen at the stock yards yesterday
expressed themselves uneasy as to
range conditions in the big sheep counties
OF Wyoming, where flock masters begin
to complain Of the excessive cold weather.
AS vet the mortality among the flocks
is small and there seems to be no immedi-
ate occasion for alarm as long as the
drifts do not increase.
In the central parts of Wyoming the
weather has been very severe and the
temperature has ranged considerably be-
low zero, but though the fall of snow
was heavy, drifting has not been suf-
ficiently bad to cause great worry OIL
anxiety to the flock masters
The chief cause Of worry seems &c
center on the feed question and heavy
orders for corn are being rushed daily
to Wyoming, where the sheepmen are
making every effort to pull their flocks
through the winter without undue loss
1t was asserted yesterday by a well
known sheep man that many Of the small
elevator companies had shipped fully q
per cent Of their corn to the sheep ranges
Of Wyoming.
Brewer scores on ScRrF.
Charles SCarr, who dispenses epigrams
and ipecac at Twenty-fourth and NJ
streets admitted yesterday that George
Brewer has sure sense OF humor not
withstanding the fact that his life hines
are cast among the solemn funeral
trappings Of the dead
The story runs that some six weeks ago
while the campaign was at its height,
Scarr and Brewer got into an argument
and bet good cigar on the success OF
some candidate. Scarr said yes and
Brewer no. Brewer won and Scarf took
occasion to bring the cigars around while
Brewer was surrounded by a number OF
friends, including Lew Etter George Nc
Bride, Jim Chisek and Lew Adams
Brewer took his cigar and began to
smoke He smoked exactly three minutes
before the explosion. OF course every
body laughed, including Scarr, who
thought the loaded cigar, a huge joke on
Brewer. So 1t was but Brewer never
smiled. He viewed the remains in a
contemplative manner and reached for a
fresh weed.
Yesterday the same crowd met at
Wroth's in Omaha. Dinner was served and
everybody leaned comfortably back in
their chairs when the waiter passed the
Havanas. Now Scarr says he does not
know how long he smoked his cigar be-
fore the explosion occurred, but Brewer
and the rest claim that from the time that
Scarf took the weed between his teeth
to the time when the explosion threw
him over the back OF his chair exactly
two minutes and thirty seconds were
licked off. (which shows that I won
that election bet by thirty seconds" said
Brewer as he glanced sideways at Scarf
EmbaImer's Wagon Upsets.

balmers wagon. driven by ]. Korisko
slid on the ice at Twenty-fourth and U
streets yesterday evening at o'clock,
causing the vehicle to upset.
In his efforts to disentangle himself
the drivers left foot was slightly
wrenched.
More women Than Men.
Deputy City Clerk John Fennell, al
though a confirmed bachelor, expressed
his concern yesterday at the difference
between the number of male and female
1t is the opinion of Fennell that unless
the stork diversifies a bit there will be
two women to every man in the Magic
City. Just look at the statistics for this
MONTH said Fennell yesterday. Here we
are four girls short" that is there were
twenty-six girls to thirty boys born this
month.
The death rate, however shows a tend
ency for the girls to hang on. Last month
twenty three males died and only nine
females,
