It is betieved from the eircum- stances attending the affair that Arthur White, his clerk and cashicr, is the perpe- trator of the theft. White has disappeared and presumably has fled.

Country Buyers Would Keep the Man Who Raises the Product in Ignorance of Its Value by Suppressing the Press, Live Stock Shipp The Live Stock Snippers’ as at South Omaba yesterday, and transact cortain amount of business that was no doubt satisfactory to themselves, but which would be decidedly otherwise to the farmers and commission men of the state. xAmong those present were President J. A, K of Platte Center, and Vice-President ¥. L. Martin, James Danly and D. Anderson. Secretary Wiggins was also on hand, along with Treasurer J. G. Smith. The other mem- bers present were, A, J. Vail, J. W. Stocker, Jolin Lempke, B. King, J. W. Lynch, J. G. Halland A, C gon. Routine business was quickly disposed of, and then they st tled down to what affected them the most. They had asked for free passes to and from the convention, and the Union Pacific had offered them o rate atafare andathird, which was de clined with thanks on the motion of D. An- derson, of Sonth Omaha, Then an attempt was made to prevent the commission houses from sending ont agents to divert South Omaha, and a resolution was put by W. Stocker, of Iown, to the following effect: Whereas, There arc certain commission firms at thése yards who are buying stock at tue different stations in the untry, through men employed by them who have neither money nor_local eredit, in competition with hippers. Now, therefore, bet it ke, 3 menibers of this ass tion, that we discountenance this and ywill witihold shipments from such firms and discourage other shippers from patroniz ing them. Vice President Martin favored the resolu- tion, and in addition only wanted one stock report to be regarded as official, instead of having all the Owaha dailies sending out price lists, Jumes Danle: eting. Ation mot of Ashland, was of the same opinion, and objected to the Omauha dailics getting market reports.

Vice President Martin said if the, prevent the sending out of the local stock papers and withhoid the market reports -om the Omaha dailies, not one farmer in 500 would take u pape A. J. Bennett, of Vail, protested against all these restrictions against the daily papers. He got most of his information from the lies, because they im twenty-four hours ahead of {1 i paners, > wanted them all to publish all the infor conld get on the market.

He thought at present commission men had the local shippers by the throat and the time had come for the ship) to do sowe active work. 1f the commission men would not desist from sending out ‘‘drummers” he thought they ought to establish a live stock commission firm of their own and consign-all their stock to them. J. W. Stocker was uot in favor of appoint- ing any one firm to act for thom and thought the commission men should be notified that if thoy persisted in the practice the associa- tion would appoint representatives of their own. Another member then suggested that the best way to prevent this would be to appoint a “spotter” to keep track of the firms sendin out agents, This would enable the member 10 keep clearof the firms so transgressing, Second Vice President Danby moved that acommission firm be established within thirty days, but no one seconded it.

The impression seemed to be that the shippers were not getting full value for their dead hogs, and they could do better if thoy rendercd them themselves.

PASSING WORTHLESS CHECKS. A Real Estate Man Arrested on That Charge. E. Aylesworth, a real estato dealer, passed the night peeping through the bars of cell No. 2 of the police station.

Perhaps as would have made the 181 knots expocted of hel STt was some time before another at- tempt to build o six-day steamer was made, but within recent years the ides ot seem so preposterous as it did n the average time was eleven days. With each year the number of invent- ors who try to solve the problem in- creases, and since Junuury 1 this year no less than a dozen patents have been jssued to men who have plans for in- sasing the spead of steamship: tis not long since n press dispateh from Pittsburg TFold of u vessel bui ding there which would make from thir ty- five to forty miles an hour at least. Nothing has been heard from the sel since that time in the daily press dis- patches, but a patent hus recently boen issued to Willinm Johnson, of Pittsburg, for an invention which is probably the one in question. - Nothing seems mor: reasonuble to the novice than to suppose that great speed would be obtained if a belt could be run over hand wheels forward and aft on each side of the ship, s0 that paddles set at right angles tothe belt could dip in the water the belt traveled aft and then pass through the air on the part of the belt going for- ward, The Marquis de Jofiiie tried it without success at Lyons, France in 1782, and William Johnson has obtained a patent on a modification of the idea in 1888, Mv, Johnson used a wide chain instead of 1 belt. William H. Silshy, of Martin's Ferry, Cal., has also patent- ed n moditication of the idea, his patont covering puddles of the T-iron shape riveted to a belt Another patent issued shows another intevesting revival of an old idea. I‘,muuu(»l \.nflun of Bordeaux, Frauce, putented a modification of the duck’s-foot propeller which Air. John Melville brought out in 1831. The new invention consists of a shaft on each side of the ship, with a wide fan on the outhoard end. As the shaft is moved forward the fan is lifted out of the water by the rotation of the shaft. Then the fan dips down in the water and is shoved aft again. - What would co are probubly hundreds of men in | | through thic o Burlington .Route: be done with it in a sea way we do not [ Dakota Bud lands and to grucsome subject had been by a reference to the “taliking about murder am reminded of th ion to which the sufe and scientifi ying of one's fellow-men was broug 1y years ago in the northwest, and which opened my eyes not alittle to the methoas. of the mining men among whom | went'to live when I first visited the ack Hills Now, don’t understand meas inveizhin ainst the west and its hovder life, or izing for eriticism’s sake the cade of morals of the pioncers, s from’ it.
