AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Cattle Fall Off and Hogs Drop More
Upon Live Stock Exchange.
TAKES CASH TO MAKE DEALS
Banks sec Nothing In Speculation

South Omaha's live stock exchange felt
the tension Of the continental war yester-
day. when hogs dropped 50 cents and cat
tie fell off - cents. While the banks
would not admit as much and many
stockmen refused TO he quoted on the mat
ter, Il is known that the banks prac-
tically shut down on the spectators
Commission men also reported tight
ness of money.
The pens were fairly filled yesterday
morning when the market opened, but IT
was 1880 o'clock before any bids were Of
fered Then the market broke to pieces
and flat fall OF 80 cents was offered by
the hog buyers among the packers. For
cattle the market ran low 30 cents and
later Is cents The sellers did not fall
for the bids until late in the afternoon,
when ii was seen that the buyers would
not come up on the morning bid. Even
at that price but few loads were re-
moved
The condition of the local market is
said to be the same as that at other
points in the country. The banks have
shut down and everything was cash basis.
One man, speaking of the market yester-
day. said: IF you had $1,000 In the bank
you could use it; II you did not have the
ready cash the banks could not see any
thing in speculation"
Among spectators the market showed
a temper that was very near panieSy.
Heavy dealers used their best endeavors
to steady the market and counselled con-
! sentative marketing and advised strongly
against any movement that would bring
on a panic 1t was said that stockmen
should hold back their stock until the
market had steadied and the banks had
adjusted themselves to the exigencies OF
the war. 1t was urged that the near panic
was only temporary and that the market
would right itself as soon as the stock
men had gotten hold OF themselves. II
is a matter of keeping cool and holding
your head, was the advice given out at

Wanted Horses Not Plugs.

Some OF Union county's star
horse traders received a sort of a
set back Saturday, according to
Mr.. V. D. Skies, when they
brought their plugs and other
surplus stock to The Skies Com
pahy's stables for the inspection
OF Jones & Oplesby's representa-
tive, who was purchasing horses
for the British government for
use in the war of the Nations.
The horse traders brought, as
stated, their cast off stock TO
trade, and we're surprised at the
live stock dealers words when
he made the announcement that
saddle horses of certain color.
height. weight and age were
wanted regardless of price.
He's gentle and your wife
can drive him." was the an
nouncement Of one of Union
countv's famed horse traders, ac-
cording to Mr.. Skies, when he
was offering his buggy horse for
sale to the man who was want
ing to buy war horses. The
gentleman seemed little offset
when he was told. that saddle
horses were wanted only, and
these with a little ginger in
them.
The representative who was
here Saturday said that his firm
was buying horses all over the
South and shipping to Atlanta.
where they were inspected and
approved by representatives of
the British government. Then
they will be shipped to Eng
land.-Monroe. Journal.

The Road Hog Got His.

A road hog living near Cra-

son yesterday afternoon that

Centralia Sentinel. A mum er
OF automobiles from Salem had
been to Mt. Vernon and were
coming back by way Of Contra
liza. When near Cravat they
came up behind buggy. The
road was narrow and the ma.
chimes could not get by unless
the buggy gave a part of the
road, which the driver refused
to do. When they came to a
place they could get bv the man
in the buggy would run his
horse to beat them to another
place. He kept this up for some
time till a place came where he
could not head the cars off.
One ran by him and then the
driver proceeded to block the
buggy, until another car got
alongside. A couple of fellows
hoped out, caught the horse
and made the fellow in the bug.

The horse was tied to the fence
and the driver of the buggy
brought along to within a mile
of Centralia, when he was sci
out and told to hoof it back and
the last seen of him he was
hoofing it lively and saving
things that would not look right
in print. He was fully four
miles from where his buggy was
left.

What The Farmer Did.

A city man recently visited
his country cousin" The man
from the city, wishing to explain
the Joys OF metropolitan life,
said: We have certainly been
having fun the last few days.
Thursday we autoed to the
country club, and golfed until
dark, then trollied back to town
and danced until morning" The
country cousin was not to be
stumped in the least, so began
telling of some of the pleasures
OF the simple life: "We have
had pretty good times here, too.
One day we buggied out to
Uncle Ned's and went out to the
back lot, where we baseballed
all that afternoon. In the even
ing we sneaked up into the at
tic and pokered until morning."
A sturdy old farmer who was
listening, not to he outdone,
took up the conversation at this
point and said: 81 was having
some fun about this time my
self. muled to the cornfield
and gee-hawed until sundown.
Then | suppered until dark, and
piped until 9 o'clock, after
which | bedsteaded until the
clock fived, after which break
tasted until it was time to go
muling again."

once more face each other across

dwindling Of the Democratic

the close of the December ses-

state a general shifting of the

With their slender majority
the Democrats, while able to
reelect Speaker Clark and retain
control of the committees, will
be forced to maintain an almost
perfect organization. Even with
full attendance in the house a
shift of IL votes would throw
the control to the minority side.

Big Guns Against Battleships

Buffalo Times
A question which has been
asked of late, is how the Ger.
mans would maintain them
selves against the fire of the
British fleet in the channel, if
the Germans were to capture
such coast cities as Calais, Bou-
logne, and Havre.
After town is taken, it must
be held, to be of any value to
the force which seizes it, and the
mere occupation of these French
ports would be of no use to the
Germans unless the latter find
some way of overpowering the
shell fire of the British fleet, by
a counter fire strong enough 10
sink the British ships or compel
them to sheer off.
The German answer to this
proposition appears to be the
great cannon which are being
transported to the coast.
1t is said that these monster
guns have a range of at least
fourteen miles, and the Germans
appear to be confident that,
once planted, these guns will
force the British ships to seek
zone Of safety fourteen miles or
more from the French coast,
thereby preventing the ships
from performing the double
action OF Shelling coast towns
occupied by the Germans, and
of protecting the allied left wing
in its extensions to the channel
shore.
If this program is carried out,
ii will open the opportunity for
the most tremendous duel be-
tween shore guns of enormous
range and caliber and mammoth
ships of war, ever seen on the
globe.
In duel, which would stand
the better chance of winning
giant battleShips or giant land
battery?
