THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. Latest QuotatlonK from South Omaha nud Kaiiiae Cltr * _ . SOUTH OMAHA. _ " CArTTCB There wna a fair run of eat- tlo and the demand from pnckcrti being In good Bhape the market ruled active and full steady all around on anything at all desirable. The bulk of the receipts were again composed of beef steers , about seventy-five cars being Included In the of- fcrlngB. Packers started out early and paid good , firm prices tor the more de sirable bunches. The common kinds , however , were rather neglected and In Home cases sellers found It difficult to get steady prices. There were only about fif teen cars of cows and heifers on sale , and as buyers all wanted a few It did not take them long to clear the pens. The market could best be described by callIng - Ing It active and steady to strong. There were not many stackers and feeders of fered and the demand for them was a little better , so that anything desirable was picked up early at good , strong prices. Stock calves were ready sellers and the prices on that class of stock have Improved considerably this week. HOGS There was a. heavy run of hogs and as other points reported a drop In prices the market. here opened 7 @ 10c lower. The bulk of the early sales went at from J5.S2V to $3.87& . with the choicer loads selling from So.S1 to $ G. The hogs began moving toward the scales at an early hour , and It was not long before the bulk had changed hands. The light weights , however , were very slow sale and bids ranged from I3.82V& down to $3. 75. 75.SHEEP SHEEP There was a heavy run. but the big bulk of the receipts was composed of Colorado lambs , about 45 cars being included In the receipts. Packers did not seem to be at all anxious for supplies this morning , and as a result the market was very slow , and up to a late hour but lit tle stuff had changed hands. What did sell brought just about steady prices with yesterday , the $5 lambs of yesterday bringing the same price today. Sheep were also about steady but slow. KANSAS CITY.

GOOD EEf ECT IS EXPECTED. Asuinaldo's Address \V1I1 Have Proper Influence on .Filipinos. WASHINGTON , April 20 It is be lieved by the administration that the manifesto of Aguinaldo will have a de cidedly good effect in the Philippines and in this country. It will take some , time for its dissemination among the Filipinos , but it is expected to be of considerable service and to make more rapid the change in the situation vhich set in some time ago and * has become quite marked of late. Especial gratification is felt at the unreserved tone of the document and the full acceptance it indicates of American rule. This , it is felt , will bring to the support of the government many Filipinos who , wishing peace , have hesitated to assist the Taft com mission. In this country it is expect ed to reduce the criticism of the ad- n inistration and to cause less discus sion of the general policy of the war 1,1 the islands and more consideration of the important matter of the best administration to be evolved for their government. It is to this work that the Taft commission is now bending all its energies. Aguinaldo , now that he has accept ed American sovereignty , probably will be given more liberty than he has enjoyed hitherto. His services will be used as far as possible in the pacification of the islands. The ex tent , however , to which he will be permitted his freedom is for General MacArthur to determine , with the as- sistar"of the Taft commission , for the ai 'he home government here will ' < * to rest largely upon the views held by its representatives in the island.

Arizona Sheriff 1'rovod Himself Qualified for IIU Office. From the earliest times the office of the sheriff of Marlcopa county has been the lodgeroom of the Amalgamat ed Association of Prevaricators until an honorary membership and an abil ity to shine in it came to be regarded as a necessary qualification for sheriff only a little less important than the ability to get enough votes at the con vention and the polls , says the Arizona Republlca'n. Sheriffs have usually been represented by proxy in the meeting of the association and the proxy has always been some deputy , generally Charlie Slankard , who as a prevarica tor has always successfully held his own against all comers. There was Bom'e apprehension that Sheriff Stout would not fill the bill. He was sup posed to be too matter of fact. Billy Moeur and Billy Williams were not be lieved to be any more able liars than the sheriff , and Captain Hi McDonald , as an outside deputy could not be ex pected to attend meetings of the as sociation. Still , in a pinch there was the ever-reliable Slankard to fall back upon. But Sheriff Stout yesterday proved that he didn't need any deputy prevaricator. An old settler who had lived in the valley longer than any body was telling at the sheriff's office yesterday of the driest season the val ley had ever experienced. There had been nothing like it before and nothing since. None of his hearers had ever seen anything so dry. He couldn't tell them how dry it was so they would comprehend. Sheriff Stout was re minded of one very dry summer within his residence in the valley. He had just embarked in the cattle business and had a herd of yearling calves. There was a little water on his ranch , but no feed within ten miles. Every morning he used to turn the calves out so they could go to the nearest range where there was some grass , but no water. He accordingly hung a canteen filled with water around the neck of each calf. One day he went out to the range to see the condition of the grass which , he thought- must be getting short. When he got there the calves were feeding quietly on the bank of a dry water course. All at once they were stampeded and wildly scattered in every direction , bellowing with fear. The sheriff went to see what was the cause of the commotion and found it to be a huge catfish which had climbed up the bank and got into a fight with the calves over the water in the can teens. RIVER BOATS IN RUSSIA. T..ooklnc Craft That Ply tlie Waters of llio Muscovite Empire. Everywhere up the Volga and its hundred tributaries ascend the iron barges of the Caspian sea oil fleet , while through the canals to St. Peters burg alone pass annually , during the 215 days of free navigation , thousands of steamers and barges bearing mil lions of tons of freight. Every known means of locomotion is used , from men who , like oxen , tramp the tow paths , hauling the smaller barges , to power ful tugs that creep along by means of an endless chain laid in the bed of the canals and minor rivers , dragging after them at snail pace great caravans of heavy barges. From the greater streams immense craft nearly 400 feet long , fifteen feet in depth , carrying 6,000 tons of freight , drift down to the Caspian , where they are broken to pieces to be used as firewood on the steamers going up stream. In all there are 8,000 miles of navigable waterways in the valley of the Volga , or , if the streams which float the giant rafts that form so large a part of the traffic of the rivers are included , the mileage is increased to nearly 15,000 , or as much as that of the valley of the Mississippi. Fifty thousand rafts are floated down the Volga annually , many of them 100 feet long by seven thick , and this gives but a faint idea of the real traffic of the river , for in addition there are 10,000,000 tops of produce passing up and down the river during the open season. Much of this centers at Nijni Novgorod. To this famous market steamers and barges come from all parts of Russia , bringing goods to be sold at the great annual fair over $200,000,000 worth of mer chandise changing hands in a few weeks ; 30,000 craft , including rafts , are reguired for this traffic ; they come frcVn as far north as Archangel , as far cask as the Urals , from Astrakan in the south , St. Petersburg and Moscow to the west , while great caravans of ships of the desert arrive daily from all parts of Asia. Hetty Green's Humor. Mrs. Hetty Green is not without a streak of humor , though perhaps it is a trifle saturnine.

Stnmp Counterfeiter's Baffled. "For more than a year past. " says the Philadelphia Record , "the treasury department has been defrauded of thousands of dollars by the washing of canceled revenue stamps. Those en gaged in the business have secured canceled stamps of all denominations , washed them clean , reguinmed them and sold them. Now however , the treasury chemists have found an olive gray ink for the stamp itself which will fade away if any attempt shall be made to wash out the cancellation mark. Unfortunately , it has proved impossible to blend this fugitive ink with any chemical producing an agree able color , and beauty has , therefore , been sacrificed to safety.
