It is true the existing conditions prodnce the same lumber rates. 1t is equally true the commercial exigencies are as strong on all, and stronger in somn of the above in- stances cited for the application of the same rates to Omaha as the other Mississippr and Missouri river cities enjoying St. Louis group rates. It must be admitted (other- ‘wise we would have no contention) distance is not a determining factor in making rates, and that thoy are_based largely on commer- ciol necessities, * * * ““The table of distances cited shows that Omahn, on a geveral average, is fully as near to Fort Worth, Galveston and El Iaso as St Louis—considerably nearer than Davenport, Moline, Rock Island, Fort Madi- son, ete., and very much nearer than Chi- cago, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. If. there- fore, your tariffs were made on the plan of eaunl rates for equal distances it 18 evident that Omaha would b on the same basis as St. Louis and lower than the other cities named in proportion to their vespective mil age, *‘In addition to the favorable po: occupy in point of distance we claim that we are also entitled to the rates for which we ask by reason of commercial necessities, which are now more potent factors than distance in the adjustment of rates and dif- ferentials, In discussing commercial condi- tions we must in some instances make our comparisons of cost with other cities than St. Louis, because such markets are Omaha's real competitors in the commodities com- pared. This, however, should not affect our general avgument, inasmuch as these vari- ous cities already have as low or lower rates than St. Louis, and we seek only the same recognitlon, HOW PACKERS |ARE AFFEOTED, “In packing house products St. Louls packers have about abandoned Toxas trade, excoptona few specialties, thus leaving that tield to Kansas City and South Omaha, An examination of the® private records of the actual purchases made by the two largest packers of hogs in Kansas City and South Omaha, who buy nearly oue-half the entire receipts, shows the following results: ““During 1801 Kansus City paid for vacking hogs per 100 pounds 1iie more than Omaha, During 1802 Kansas City paid for packing hogs per 100 pounds .S5¢ more than Omaha, During 1503 Kansas City paidfor packing hogs per 100 pounds 414¢ less than Omaha, During twenty-three days of January, 1804, Kansas City paid for packing nogs per 100 pounds 4.9¢ less than Omuha. “The character of busin and stylo of hogs used by these two houscs ave almost identical; the combarison is a more just and accurate showing of the relative cost of packing hogs in the two markets than can be obtmned from awvy other source. We wish to call special attention to the fact that tie hog products which go to the south, southeast and southwest are made from heavy packing hogs, such as constituted most of the puichases covered by the above comparative statements. We submit that tho prices of light weight hogs bought for shipmeat to castern points, or by locol packers who chiefly make high-priced ox port goods, have no bearing whataver in the adjustment of rates on products wade from entirely different grade of animal **In addition to these higher prices for ho, Omaha pays on Kansas fine salt i cent per 100 pounds, or 07 cents per ton more than on coal, 40 cents per ton more; on cotton seed oil, b cents per 100 pounds, or #1 por ton more; on s, cents per 100 pounds, or 60 cents per ton more. 1t requires to kill, cure and make mto marketavlo shape 500,000 hogs 25,000 tons of coul, 5,000 tons Kunsis fine salt, 3,500 tons cotton seed o1l and 400 tons sugar, The extra freight on theso four items amounts to §17,000, or an average of 8.42 cents ver hog, equivaient to 1.57 conts on each 100 pounds of live weight This, added to the a: ge excess in purchaso price, ma’es the total excess cost on live weight during 1804 5.57 cents. and for twenty thiee days of January, 1804, 6.27 cents. The merchantable product of hogs, inelud inz fertilizer, is 80 per cent of the live woight, and this 80 per cent of course bears the whole excess cost, which mukes the product of 1863 from heavy hogs cost Omaha kers 7 cents per 100 pounds above Kansas und for twenty-three days of 1504 nts per 100 pounds in excess.

Rates between ‘ Tive Stock. 15.00 nsas City, differon- tion we able Kansas City to successfully compete with Omata without any favoritism in rates of freight. Omaha's hog supply territory is comparatively limited. On the north she can only go half way to Stoux City, or_say fifty miles, ['rom the east very few hogs have come to us since the interstate commerce de- cision of two or three years ago, making equal rates on hogs and ‘packing house pro- ducts from the Missouririver eastward. On the west and southwest, in what should be our local territory, Kansas City is granted equal rates for nearly doublo our distance, and thus draws a portion of the stock which is naturally tributary to our —market. Omaha, on the other hand, cannot go into Kansas Uity iocal territory and get live stock without paving a higher tariff. Dur- ing years of large hog crops, low prices and light competition Omaha has secured the necessary quantity of hogs ata trifie lower than Kansas City, but with the short crops of the past one and_one-half years and with the limited country from which to draw, ~ompetition in Omaha has been more active than in Kansas City, and hencevhe increased cost above mentioned. “We beg toc twoadditional illustrations of the comparative treatment accorded Omaha and Kansas City by tho railways Both cities have the same rates to and from Cheyenne and Trinidad, the distancy in the former case being in favor of Omaha nd in the latter favorable to Kansas City. we go beyond Cheyenne, to Utah, Mon- ete., KKansas City still has the Omaha tariff, but it Omnha wishes to ship products toor draw supplies from territory be Trinidad, say New Mexico, Arizona sho must pay o b nsas City competitors. n_ship north through ul av about the sume rates, at exactly the same as ships south over the same rails and distance Kunsas City uses to come north she pays from 7¢ to 20c more per 100 pound “A matior of tt ALest importance to South On packers is to secure during the spring and early summor o supply of range or canning cattle from the southwest, which at that season cannot be obtained elsewhero, These come into market prior to thoso from western and northern ranches and are absolutely necessary to enable our puckers to continue their operations without intermission throughout the year. Two years ago un Omaha committee appeared be- foro tn association, which preceded the present organization, to plead for rates on cattle from the southwest to Omaha that would enable our pack to make canned meats and other beef products at something near the same cost as their competitors at Kansas City. * * * (Sta- tistics on discrimination against Omaha on southern cattle rates.) * * * After the movement of Texas stock is over Kansis City draws cattle from the west and north- west for cight or nine months at the same tes us Omaha. notwithstanding the haul to the latier market is much shorter.

The Eclar, referring to the efforts being made to obtain a commutation of Vaillant's sentence, says thut the government is hesi- tating us to what course to pursue, and that this hesitation is caused by the fact that it seems that publie opinion in favor of merey to the condemued man is imereasing.

FE AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAMA Bargain for 8ale of Hoyman Olothing Store Results in a Quarrel, LAWYERS AND POLICEMEN GIVEN JOBS Charity Concert Gratifying In Character and Proceeds—Schoolboys Steal Fish— Bound Over for Robhery—Other Magle City News. Constables, lnwyors and policewen hus- tling about in the vicinity of H. Hoyman's clothing store on N street yesterday afternoon drew a big crowd of citizens to tho place and for a time the sidowalks were blocaded. The difficulty grew out of a trade Mr. Heyman made or started to make Wednes- duy. Harris & Cooper, gentlemen who hail awford, entered into a barzain to an's clothing stock, the con- suderation being $7,000. Part of the amount was to be paid in cash, part in land and tho balance with time deposits in a Crawford bank. The papers were drawn up and the o0as in the store were boxed. Mr, Heyman went to Omaha with the time deposits and received infornation that the bank was no as good as gold, and he returned to South Omana and handed the documents back to Mr. Harris, informing the gentleman that the deal was off. Harris was not in any mood to back down, and, claiming that everything was just as he had represented it to be, sccured Attorney Doud’s assistance and proceeded to go ahead with the trade. In the meantime Hoyman had locked up his store and gono to lowa. Harris ha® ieft his overcont and overshoes in_the store, and sceuring a replevin sent a constable after them. The scheme was to once get inside the building and take pos- session, This ho did, but Miss Botty Hevman was up to snuff and immedi- ately sccured a warrant and had Mr. Harris placed under arrest on the charge of “breaking in with intent to steal.” Harris was taken before Judge Fowler and released on 500 bonds. In tho meantime he had ordered mon to move the stock and the fellows succeeded in getting away with two biz_ boxes and started off tow.rd Papillion. Miss Heyman replevined the balance of the stock and when Mr. Hey- man comes home this morning there will be more fun, Messrs. Harris & Cooper aro said to bo responsible men. They eclaim that the paper they tendered Mr. Heyman is good and they will insist on closing the deal. The stock was last night in the charge of Constable Eddy The South Omaha National bartk filed an attachment on the stock for §1,200, alleged to be due from Heyman. Charity Concert. Baver's hall was packed to the doors last night with people who had turned out to patronize an entertainment that was for the benefit of the needy. The fact that the af- fair was a charity benefit no doubt drew out a great many persons who would not have gone otherwise, but this fact did not lessen the excellence of the entertainment. The program was compiled by Mr. E. M. Bonnell, one of the best all around musicians in the west. He secured the assistance of splen- did talent, and when the concert was over all went away feeling perfectly satisfied that they had received double the worth of their money. The first number was a piano solo by Sig- mund Landsburg of this city. The gentle- man is a splendid performer on the instru- ment, and he was heartily applauded. Next was a vocal 8010 by Mrs. Cook, which was charmingly rendered, Mr. A. V. Kinsler and Mr. Charles Moriavity gave the quarrel scene between Brutus and Cassius from Shakespeare in good form. Messrs, McKen- zie, Buchanan and McDougall gave selections on' the bagpipes in nauve costume in a pleasing manner. The club swing- ing by Charles Meyers excellent. Mr. E. M. Bonnell sang “The Brave Sentinel” so well that he was called out for another song. An original song and dance, -“‘When Michael O'Grady Comes Home,” by Miss Ella Wright, won hearty applause. . Mrs. Stefeson rendered a piano 80l0 in a skallful manner and was followed by Mr. Edwin S. Thompson in pleasing char- acter sketches, Messrs. Bonnell and, Fritts sang to the pleasure of all. T.F. Bullock and Harry Hamming gave a pantomime acro- batic turn in a manner thut would ‘make a regular circus man envy them. Miss Ina Kennedy sang sweotly. Mr. A. V. Kinsler gave a recitation and Mr. E. G. Rozell com- pleted the program by sioging a bass solo. The majoricy of the talenton the program came from Omaha, The receipts will swell the funls of the Associated Charities about £200. Columbine Socinl Miss Cora Persons entertained the Columbine social club at the home of her parents, Twenty-fitth and D streets, Thuy day evening. A cobweb social was given in the early part of the evening, after which progressive high five was played. The com- pany was delightfully entertained.
