Long Trains of Palace Stock Cars Rushing from South to North.
    Not even the world’s fair nor convention, excursion trains take precedence over the long strings of palace stock cars rushing from south to north this month, that the largest shipment of Texas cattle in the history of the West may be deposited on the range country west of the Missouri river. Within 30 days, 100 such trains will have passed through Sioux City, and from 90,000 to 100,000 southern cattle will be partaking of the most luxuriant range grasses which for years have produced. Next year at this time these same cattle will be sent to the markets of the world. This stupendous movement of cattle means so much to the railroads both now and later that they are sidetracking their fast express trains that the cattle may speedly reach their destination.
