m -POPE AS YET
TWO BALLOTS TAKEN WITHOUT
DECISIVE RESULTS
FUTURE APPEARS UNCERTAIN
Conclusion That Strength of the Lead
ing Candidate Remains Unbroken
V Large Crowd Packs St Peters
Square
HOME No successor to Pope Leo
XIII has yet been chosen From
the smoke that has Issued from the
chimney on the SiBtlne chapel a vast
multitude gathered around St Peters
learned that the second day of the
conclave had been fruitless The con
clusion is drawn that tlfe strength of
the leading candidate remains un
broken and that no compromise can
didate has yet appeared and there is
no indication of how long this condi
tion of affairs will continue The pro
longation of the contest has aroused
tremendous public mtorest if indeed
It cannot be called excitement Every
trace of that apathy which followed
the death of the late pope has van
ished and instead there now exists a
burning interest in everything pertain
ing to the election of his successor
This culminated Sunday night in the
appearance of a large crowd which
packed tljo great square Of St Peters
and presented a spectacle seldom seen
at the site of so many historic cere
monies The impenetrable seclusion
which shrouds those engaged in de
ciding who shall be at the head of
the Catholic church heightens the fev
erish curiosity of those who await
their decision Princes princesses
archbishops bishops monsignors
priests well-to-do business people in
short people from every walk of life
from that of nobleman to street beg
gar talked of nothing but la fuinata
the signal smoke But this morn
ing and this evening this was the
lodestone which drew thousands to
the square of St Peters There for
hours with strained eyes and craned
necks they waited in the hope of see
ing a tiny little stream of smoke no
insignificant that it was almost im
possible to realize that a great issue
was involved in its fleeting appear
ance The scene atSt Peters was
far the most impressive that has oc
curred in Rome since the late pope
became ill
After the fruitless morning ballot a
report spread that a new pontiff
would surely be elected in the even
ing All roads during the afternoon
led to the Vatican Carriages and
vehicles of every description rattled
into the plaza of St Peters The reg
ular Sunday leisure was forgotten in
the anxiety to see the new occupant
of the holy see The streets converg
ing into St Peters plaza were black
with the thousands who entered the
square with the ceaseless regularity
of an incoming tide From the bar
racks came reinforcements of troops
who marched across the plaza and
lined up at the steps of the basilica
leaving small spaces between the
companies to prevent a sudden rush
to get inside St Peters to witness
the new pope give his blessing to the
Catholic world

Co lima
MEXICO A dispatch from Colima
Sunday morning states that the Co
lima volcano is in eruption Great
clouds of smoke are issuing from the
volcano and are being carried to the

overflow of lava has occurred but
the dense smoke that surrounds the
mountain makes it impossible to de
termine exactly what has happened
The outbreak has been accompanied
by loud detonations Information from
ihe surrounding districts is to the ef
fect that rumblings and underground
shocks have been felt during the past
twenty four hours No reports of se
rious damage have been received but
the people in the nearby villages are
jgreatiy alarmed and many have left

cattle and for the week receipts have
been moderate Taking the month of
July as a whole however there is an
Increase over July 1902 amounting to
about 8500 head This Increase has
been brought about by the large sup
ply of corn feds coming forward as
there were a good many range cattle
marketed the last half of July a year
ago while this vear there have not
been enough range cattle on sale to
make a market The beef steer mar
ket could safely be quoted fully steady
In a good many cases the more de
sirable grades soid a little higher As
high as 580 was paid as against a
top of 5S5 yesterday but the cattle
sold were not as good The top pi ice
a week ago was 525 The cow mar
ket was quite active and the more
desirable grades sold readily at steady
to strong prices The common kinds
were more or less neglected the same
as usual with prices uneven but still
on the average they sold to fully as
good advantage as they did yesterday
Everything on sale was disposed of
in good season Bulls veal calve3 and
stags were in light supply and the
market could not be quoted anything
but steady
HOGS Heavy hogs sold largely at
500 and 502 with some very
heavy weights going as low as 455
The mixed weights went largely at

largely from 505 to 510 Trading
was not very active at the start but
the close of the market was quite
brisk and an early clearance was
made The supply of hogs during the

Number of School Days
In 1840 the year in which the Unit
ed States census began to enumerate
the number of persons that had attend
ed school the previous year the total
amount of schooling for each inhabi
tant was 208 days and according tc
the census of 1850 the average amount
of schooling had increased to 420 days
for this decade was a period of agi

reached 672 days and in 1890 1026

Edwards Modest Daughters
King Edwards three daughters
seem to be devoid of uersonal ambi
tion and to be quite willinc that their
sister-in-law and their aunts Helena
Louise and Beatrice should represent
royalty in their stead So far from
profiting by the risk in rank which
their fathers accession gained them
the Duchess of Fife and her sisters
prefer to stay away from functions
where they would precede Queen Vic
torias daughters so it Is not often
that these illustrious ladies meet in
full state array One parliament
opening and the coronation have seem
ed about enough for them It is
scarcely likely that the Duke of Fifes
daughters will make royal matches
and in all probability they will be
come British peeresses and have a far
more pleasant life than if they turned
into German princesses and had to
follow a foreign spouse to his own
country
Irving and Diraeli

nance seemed to totter rather than
walk across the floor to his host and
hostess the murmur passed along It
is Dizzy risen from the dead The
likeness had in fact been noticed

What Was It
Friarpoint Miss Aug 3rd Ono of
the strangest cases ever reported oc
curred nere recently The son of Mr
G L Butler was very ill The doc
tor said he had some disease of the
spinal cord and treated him for two
months but he grew worse all the
time and finally the doctor told Mr
Butler thac he did not know what
was tho trouble
The boy would wake up in the night
and say that he was dying He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out of the house saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him
His father was very much discour
aged till one day he saw a new rem
edy called Dodds Kidney PHI3 adver
tised and he at once bought some
and began to give them to his boy
He used altogether eight boxes be
fore he was entirely cured He has
not been troubled since Mr Butler
says
I feel it my duty to tell what
Dodds Kidney Pills have done- for my
boy All this remedy needs is a fair
chance and it will speak for itself
True merit is like a river the deep
er it is the less noise it makes
