BUYERS AND SELLERS OF STOCK The Hog Yards on a Busy Morning-—- Through the Cattle Pens—bMount- ©d Dealers—Welghing Stock— Personal Description. The Live Stook Market. VERY stranger in alarge city, as a matter of course, visits the stock or produce exchange, and,from the vis- Jitors’ gallery, gazing down upon the animated scene below, is told that the ex- eited men, the sound of whose voices produce a verituble Babel, are buying and selling stocks, grain or provisions, and he goes away with his mind so in- delibly impressed with what he has moen that ever after the mention of a market will bring before his gaze the wontest of the bulls and bears ‘‘on shange” or in the provision pit. Perhaps no one who visits the live stock market at South Omaha for the first time anticipates seeing a repetition of the scenes in the New York stock exchange or the Chicago provision gnarket, but he has been told that stock fs 5014 to the highest bidder and he may @xpect to see a crowd of men actively engaged in making bids for stock. MHence the question, so frequently asked by strangers on entering the yuards: ““Where is the stock sol The answer is, “Everywhere in the yards where a buyer and seller happen to meet and agree on terms.” But still there are CERTAIN POINTS in the yards which, perhaps, by com- snon consent, have come to be places of wendezvous fog the buyers and sollers ‘when not engaged in looking at stock. A stranger arrives at tho yards at 8 o'clock in the morning, rather an early hour for a pleasure trip, but if he were #o wait until later the market would be over and nothing to see but long rows 'of empty pens. An obliging frieng, familiar with the stock business, con- ducts him first to THE HOG MARKET, for that is usuatly the first to open. Down one ailey, up another, past a mumber of gates which must be closed jpgain and carefully hooked, around an- wther corner or two, here we are among # crowd of men who are pointed out as #he hog buyers and sellers. At this eauly ofiour they have hardly ‘‘got «own to business,” the forces are being msnd,ever;thiug 18 being put in iness—it is the lull preceding the coutest. Salesmen have looked over the hogs whieh they ure to sell, the buyers have ured up the receints; all that is lack- is a knowledge of the receipts condition of the trade at eastern nts, - A messenger hoy suddenly aj quietly hands out a dispatel ch is as guietly received, read and | away in an nside pocket, an as- t, who has been waiting &t the legraph office, whispers something in eur of another salesman, others ar- and thore are divers wi re iords, nods, winks, and knowing looks, & and the salesmen are being posted. the ringing of A TELEPTIONE BELL a buyer guickly secludes himself in the telephone box or house, which every packer has located conveniently in the yards, and here r es his orders for is morning’s work. No one would imagiune, from the disinterested look on his face as he reappears that upon him devolves the responsibility of making transactions during the coming hour that would mean hundreds of dollars of loss or gain to'his employer,as his judgment might be good or bad, nor could the shrewdest salesman detect from that look what his orders have been. Perhaps hischief has said, *‘Buy every hog you can get, as low as you can, but buy the hogs,” or per- haps he has said: *Donot buy a hog unless you can get a reduction of 10¢ per hundred from yesterday’s prices.” It is all the same to the buyer. steps out, cool and collected; it would not do to show eagerness, for THE SALE would at once detect that he was anx- ious for the hogs, and would put up the price on him; nov does the experienced salesman show overhaste. It islike the fencing of skilled swordsmen before coming to close blows. “What have you got?” inquires a buyer, and the salesman walks away with him to show him the different loads of hogs which he has for sale. The buyer looks them over, inquires the price, buys them if it is satis tory, if not, signifies what he would be wiiling to pay for them, and then goes with the next salesman at hand. Meanwhile, the first salesman looks up the other buyers and gets their bid, n less time than it takes to de- scribe it the crowd of men who were waiting for the market to open has melted away, and the stranger and his guide ave the only ones remaining. But one by one the buyers and sellers COME STRAGGLING BACK, until the crowd has assumed its former proportions. If the market is higher and the buy- ers have shown a willingness to pay the prices asked, perhaps a good proportion Sy Y R e ey sold during the first twenty minutes, but if the buyers have not wanted the hogs very badly and have only been trying to” *“bear” the market,” bidding lower prices, perhaps no trading to speak of has been done. Then itis a question of nerve or stick-to-it-iveness, eit er the sulesmen must come down on the ‘prices asked or the buyers must raise their bids and which one will give in depends largely upon the opening of the eastern provision market. 1f pork is reported higher, perhaps the buyers will receive frosh orders that will cause thom to raise their bids, but if lower, the salesmen will probably have to give in and will sell to the buyers who made them the best bids. Meanwhile there is nothing to dd but to await the outcome, though bayers and sellers may be BURNING WITH ANXIELY they show no signs of it but rather by a cheerful look seek 1o smother the feoling of responsibility. Jokes are freely exchunged, some of them pretty hard ones, but there is no use in being offended, the ouly recourse is to give the tormenter a worse one, and & shout 008 ufl‘u a good point is made. To ear them oune might think they were all Bill N&:‘o and that each one was editing a merang of his own,though @ very large perceutage of the jokesarc meaningless o one unacquainted with the meu snd uot on the inside of the business. Belore you are hardly aware of it the erowd hus dispursed, a buyer has re- ceived a fresh order or there has been some atu'fn in the situation, and the buyers and sellers are again trying to At trade and are scattered through the yards. If they do not succeed in mak- ing atrade the whole crowd wilibe back again before long and the same or sim- ilar scenes will be re-enacted. But as a general thing the hogs are all sold hy the middle of the forenoon. After the trading is all over comes the “WEIGHING UP,” which is by no means an_uninteresting feature of the mbrket. The yards are 1aid out on the same general plan as a ity; the pens, which might be likened to factorios and mercantile houses, are built in blocks, and each pen opens into a street, or alley as it is_always called, which runs at right angles throughout the yards. Assoon ns a salesman has sold out he gives his assistant orders as to whom the hogs are to be weighed up to and directly the word ‘‘ke i) heard in the loudest voice tl can command, repeated again and i until the key man ap- s the gate of the ven and turns the hogs out into the alley,whence they are driven toward the scales. Othiers are culling, **Key-oh,” and soon the alley is full” of hogs, all moving slowly on in the same direction, but cuch load is kept separate. Every time a load is ghed over the scales the whole procession ‘moves up a little fur- ther, until the scale house gate has closed on the last lond. When THE HOGS EMERGE from the scale house chey are the prop- erty of the buyers, and are turned into large pens until they are wanted at the packing houses. As a rule the market has bavely closed before the droves pur- chased by the different packers are on the way "to the slaughter house. To oune who has never seen more than the fractional part of a hog, as represented by a pork tenderloin or a cased ham hanging in the market,a thousand hogs being driven along the alley to the pucking houses is quite a surprising sight, and one that invariably brings forth the remark: **Whata lot of them? Where do they all come from, and where arve they going?”’ When a thou- sand hogs seem 50 wany it is hard to realize that a million and a quarter hogs passed through that same alley last year. But the market is closed and the hog alleys are deserted. \\'hitau cattle are sold, weighed and delivered to the buyer in the same gen- eral way as the ?mgn. still there are some points of special interest that are well worth a visit. The scene IN THE CATTLE ALLEYS is certainly more picturesque — the buyers and sellers are mounted on horses, as the distance around the yards is too great to go on foot and then, too, a great many of the cattle have no re- spect for a man on foot and consder him only & fit ornament to decorate the tips of tizuh' horns, as several wmen have found to their sorrow during the past year. When there is a good demand for cattle and everyone 1s buyiug freely the sight 1s certainly very animated. Mounted men ave riding here ana there, usually in couples, urging their horses into a sharp trot, or oven into a gallop, and droves of catile are being rushed through the alleys, urged on by loud shouts and cracking of whips. To keep a cool head and make no mis- talce awid all this hurry and bustle re- quires a long éxperience and a general adaptability to the business in hand. Many of these men have followed the business a life-time. They began when New York was the great live stock mar- kot, and, wheun the ceuter of the trade moved to Albany, they went with it, and kept up with itin its westward march, -wpgrug nuucumivelu& Buffaio, Chicago, and at lust at Om, Some idea of the wuwfiibimx rest- ing on these men may be from the lact that one buyer alone last week purchased over 4,000 head of* cattle, which cost on an average about $45 per head, and all this had to be done, as it were, on the spur of the moment, and not as one buys a stock of metchandise or a piece of real estate with plenty of time to examine all the points, and weigh the pros and cons. But the stranger came to the yards with only an hour to spend. Two hours have passed. Yet he has had only u glimpse of the South Omaha stock market. A. C. DAVENPORT. -~ RELIGIOUS. A little church was lately dedicated at Grovetown, Ga., as a memoriul to Paul H. Hayne, the gentie poet whose home was at that place. There are thirteen missions in Africa -6 British, 4 German and 3 French, One so- ciety, the Church Missionary alone,has spent $3500,000 in the last thirty years in Kast Africa. It is rumored about that about the 1st of June the pope will issue an important encyclical, woich will be an appeal to the na- tions of Europe to settle the question of the temporal power of the papacy. One of the greatest hindrances to the gos- pel in Ceylon is said to be “the coquetting with Buddhism which has become fashion- able among the Furopeans.” Buddha's birthday is now a government holiday in the island. Work on the divinity building of the new Catholic university at Washington is pro- gressing finely, The work of plastering the interior walls’ was begun this week. The spacious grounds are being artistically laid out under the direction of a competent land- scape gardener. Rev. Abbott has answered tho charge that he is too liberal by boldly declaring his belief in & vaersonal devil. No shadowy evil influence, no wicked tendency in the human mind will do for him, He believes in a solid, resl devil, who can be seen and felt—a devil with a local habitation and a name. In 1704 Yale college haa but four or five ts who were church members; to-day y one-half hold such membership. coton iu 1813 had but two or three pro- fessing christians; now one-half of the stu- dents are members of churches, and among them are numberefi the best scholars. In Williams college, 145 out of 245, and “An Amberst, 235 out of 352, are members of churches, Viscount Mori, a well known Japanese statesman, fell a victim to fanatical violence last month, at the age of forty-five years.

Dr. Lyman — Tanning Sole-Leather by Electricity* A Swedish invengor has applied the alternating eleetric current to a com- mercial problem so succassfully that its use bids fair to revolutionize the tan- ning industry both-in this country and abroad. The procdss has been in suc cessful operation infgweden for eighteen months, and an expgrimental plant has been established hege to demonstrate its value, ns the owneds of the patents in this country are determined to verify all claimed “for the process before its actual introduction. Patents are held in seventeen different countrics. By the process it is claimed that sole- leather can be tanned in 800 hours by the application of an alternating cur- rewt for one-eighth of the time, the old methods requiring six months. L The late Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Burton of Hartford passionately loved a fine horse. One day a horse dealer was showing bhim a thoroughbred. He spoke of his pewerful limbs, handsome head, broad chest, good color and rapid gait. “The fact is,” said the dealer, “the annnal is absolutely perfect.” “‘Weil, then,” said the doctor, “I wish he be- ionged to my ehurch.” HER- MAMMA WAS VERY MAD The First Love Affair of Winsome Maggie Mitchell DEAD ON HIS WIFE'S COFFIN. *Twas the Waiting Broke Her Heart— The Pathetic eofa Vermont Maiden—Found Them in Their Graves. Littlc Romances, The absolute diuorce granted to Mag- gie Mitchell, the popular actress. has again set agog the gi ps touching her first love affair, which has about it the flavor of romance and adventure. Away back in the sixties, when the war under way, Washington city was an armed camp. The city then had not emerged from its old lethargy, and the invasion of a great army in the midst of its people, while it amazed those to the maaor born, gave them the first full realization of whatgenuine activity and bustle meant. It was at this period. too, that Maggie Mitchell, un actress, was at her best. Maggie loved a horse. It was her wont before the sun was fairly up to dash out over the hills, then encircled with forts and menacing guns, and at a breakneck speed rush helter-skelter, to the amazement of those less courageous. Many times alone she scoured the beautiful out- skirts; not always thus alone, however, for at times it was observed that her escort was o maply youth of sturdy ap- pearance und goodly features. Like- wise it was noticed that when together speed was not 50 necessary, and rather did they jog along side by side, inter- ested both in each other and the bean- ties of nature, sucn as autumnal Sep- tember can alone unfold. The dream of love was awnkened in each. The . climax came when, upon a return from sueh & jaunt, Maggie, flushed with some excitement, made a confident of her mother. She almost shocked her when, in girhsh glee, she said: “*Mamma, I was married this morning.” Treating it jocosely, her mother sald: ““Well,l hope you have married a saint.” “‘He is,” she added, and then in a serious tone she gave the details, A cloud overshadowed the maternal countenance. There was no longer doubt. Ina tone of command Maggle was ordered to her 1oom. The very overture of her matrimonial careor was the maledictions of the mother-in-law. The air was surfeited with womanly vage. In acondition fairly wild, the groom was ordered away with iujunc- tion to never address his wile agmin, not even by 80 much us a look or token. Then Maggie became a prisoner,always under the eye of her mother by day and by a cordon of her mother's friends at night the two lovers were kept apart. Even in the marviage there was ro- manoe, Five miles away in the direction of the north was the little town of Bia- densburg, made historie because of its duels and medicinal because of its Spa. 1t was just an easy gallop to the sleepy village. A mother’s acquiescence was only an incident, for would it not come after the seal of man and wife had pro- nounced them one? Thus it was that Maggie Mithell, the then celebrated rotean actress, and William Viegil Wallace, on the 27th day of September, 1862, were joined 1n holy wedlock. Thus it was that Maggie contracted her first matrimonial allinnce, which the of a mother would not permit to be consummated and it never was. A womnn sixty-four yeursold died a few days ago in Parisand her seve nty- year-old husband asked to be allowed to remain alone by the coffin for a while before it was taken away When friends re-entered he was found lying across it dead, with a half empty phial of poison in his hand. The youngest couple ever married in Ohio were made man and wife recontly at Keyser, Menard county. Their names are Chloc Roland, aged thirteen, and Soe Snow, fourteen. They have been sweethearts for four years, and after frequent entreatics received parental cousent to marry. The bride wasat- tired in a short d A handsome mau_about twenty-four years of age walked back and forth on the umion depot platform the other morning apparently in a highly excited state of mind. Early in the day he had secured section 10 of the slecper Iro- was due to leave for chita at 9:28 o'clock. Just three minutes before the signal was given for departure the Wabash fast train from St. Loms steamed into the depot. A beautiful young lady stood on the plat- form of one of the cars. She was dressed in silk, protected by a stylish flyaway cloak, and wore a hat with a long white plume. She was a brunette with sparkling brighteyes that sparkled still brighter as they caught sight of the young man. He rushed for- ward and assisted the new- comer to alight, escorting her hurriedly to the west end of tho depot, where the slecper wasin wait- ing. As they entered the car a gentle- man dressed in black followed and was handed a document, presumably & mar- riage license. In the presence of rail- way employes the words were quickly said that made the couple man and wife. The ceremony oceupied less than a minute, and as the law of the state does not require either witnesses or signature of friends to the marriage ficate the numes of the two who were thus strangely united were un- known to all except the clergyman That individual disappeared from the car into the crowd, and the train sped away to the city of booms in southern Kansas. The county recordor is author- ity for the statement that the parties most interested in the ceremony were Lorenzo Hickman and Kmma Hickman, the former of Wichita, Kan., and the latter of Vigo county, Indiana. Al- though the young lady was not called upon to change her name, it is stated that no blood relatiovship exists be- tween the two. The recorder says that it was a runaway match, but one that promises to end happil V1., social committed sui- cide 'the oth auso of disap- pointment, it is said, io alove aflair with Georgze Hidden, a Faivbanks cur- pet dealer.

Not | long after he was married to another women, who died ubout two years ago. Soon after the death of his wife,Hidden renewed his attentions to Miss Majore | e bis son- wedding outfit. Everything, even the bridal veil, was ready. Suddenly, only a few days before the appointed day for the wedding, Hidden, it is charged, in- formed her again that he wished to de- lay the wedding. The shock, it is said, of a double postponement was too much for the 1ady. and she ended her life by taking drugs. Mrs. Annie Gardner, aged thirty-two, was found dead in_bed at Hurrisville, Mich., the other day. Five yearsago she was a happy wife and the mother of two bright boys. She then lived with her husband in Toronto. An estrange- ment ocourred and one night the hus- band took the two boys and came to Michigan. The distracted wife and mother followed and after a weary search located him near Greenbush, six miles south of Harrisville, but her husband learned of her arrival and at once fled to Sunginaw, where the two boys died. The mother followed her husband to Saginaw, only to learn of the death of her two boys and that the father had buried them in an obscuro spot. She, after long search, found their graves and had the remains ex- humed and buried in a cemetery. Then the heartbroken mother returned to Harrisville, where her story gained her shelter and friends. Care and sorrow had whitened her hair and her bowed form seemed more like that of a person far advanced in years than thatof a woman of her age. ——————— CONNUBIALITIES, Another eloping couple flees to Milwaukes and are made one.
