CATTLE -Tho sharp break In the rattle
market yesterday and day before resulted,
ns expected, In a much llgliter run today.
Packers seemed to expect small offerings
nnd there were six cars shipped direct to
them from Kansas City.
With lighter recelpis at all market points
tho rapid decline In values that has been
going on this week seemed to be stopped
for the time being, at least, and today re
mained stationary. The market could per
haps bo best described as slow at the de
cline noted yesterday. Huyers did not ap
pear at all In a hurry to 111! orders and
tho murket was without very much life or
cnap. IVhlle It was no worse than yester
day. It was low enough to suit anyone,
jirlces being on an average rully 25c lower
for tho week. Tho quality of the rnttls
here was nothing to boast of and that fact
dirt not encourage active buying. If tho
shippers to all tho markets of the country
would hold their cattle back for a time and
let tho market clear up, It Is reisonnblo to
suppose that prices would rapidly recover,
ns there seems to be no reason for the
preent decline except that cattle have been
coming faster than they wero needed nnd
buyers have taken advantage of tho op
portunity to get values down.
The market nn cows nnd heifers was In
about the same condition as the market on
lieef Hteers, that Is, slow, hut about steady,
with decline of yesterday. As compared with
last week the market on cow stpff Is Just
about 25c lower. The market on fat bulls
did not hhow any material change. Huyers
of stock bulls said that they paid pretty
Miff prices yesterday In comparison to the
way other cattle were selling and In wmio
cases they claimed to be getting them
lower today. The calf market was steady.
There were no new developments In tho
(market for stockers nnd feeders. There was
some Inquiry this morning brought about
by the lower prices, which It is felt will bo
only temporary, but the market was not
very active. ltepreent!lve sales:

IIOOB Tho market onened Be lower tills
morning and before n quarter of the hogs
hail been sold Chicago rumo still lower and
buyers went back on their early bids and
for n time wero talking about buying droves
at tl.Gfl. For a little time the mantel was
pretty dull, as sellers did not take kindly to
so much - of a ileellnn and would not let
their hogs go. Then buyers who really
seemed to want hogs raised their hands
nnil took them at their morning bids In
most cases, or about 5c lower than yester
day. The hogs sold largely at $1.6704.70, as
against $1.72412 1.73 yesterday, with somn
right good hogs nt 4.75 find a few as high
as JI.80. The top yesterday was $4.83, It
will be seen from th" table of average
prices that the hogs today sold only about
f.o lower than a week ago and two weeks
ngo.
Commencing with today the prlro on dead
hogs will be V per pound for all welghlnt;
over inn pounds, Instead of 'fee ns hereto
fore, the advance heInK; due to higher
prices for grease. Representative sales;

recelnts tnd.iv were small
In comparison to previous days, while the
demand seemed to be of about the usual
proportions. Huyers were out early and
looking for desirable stuff. Tho market
opened fully steady nnd closed n little
stronger. The general trade could ba
quoted as steady to strong nnd fairly
nctlve. Sellers as n rule were well pleased
with tho day's business and practically
everything offered changed hands early In
tho morning.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-After lnvciifia

of the young American, Pcnrs, In Honduras
about a year ngo tho State, department haft
come to the conclusion that the case Is onu
warranting a formal request for indemnity
from the Honduranian government and Min
ister Hunt will be Instructed accordingly.
Pears woo killed by a sentinel bk nn 'n
cldent to tho clcae of a revolution in Hon
duras. Tho government claims that he dis
regarded tho sentinel', challenge to halt,
but It appenrs that Penrs was nt n consider
able distance from the sentinel, that he did
not understand the challenge -ind that he wns
killed out of bound', so io speak, and, un
warrantably, In the opinion of our govern
ment'. It Is believed that the Indemnity
claimed will bo nbout $10,000. This ap
pears to be rather a low estimate of the
value of human life, but it Is polntef out by
the State department offlelaU that our own
government has fixed n rate much lower In
caws whero it has paid tho Indemnity for!
tne mums or foreigners.

ALFALFA WORM IN NEBRASKA
Iip:rts ItmstlgtUs tha Dimaso Done bj
"Niw Amy Worm."
fOUND IN NEARLY ALL PARTS OF THE STATE
Results nf In vesllKnd.ins by Assistant
Ilntniiinloulst Hunter of Stntc
InlvcrsH)- Published for
L'cncllt of l'nrmcrs.
Tho attention of university experts has
been called to tho "now nrmy worm" or
"alfalfa worm" which niado itself felt in
various parts of tho state last fall. Assist
nnt Kntomologlst W. U. Hunter has been
investigating the damage done and his con
elisions have been published for tho bencfli
of tho farmers.
Specimens of which render tho Identifica
tion positive have been jocelved at the ex
periment station of tho university from
Johneon, Gnge, Nemaha. Saline. Fillmore,
Douglas, Washington nnd Dodgo tountlcv
Specimens have alto been found In Hoyd
county in the'northern part of tho state, and
In Dawson county, In tho western portion,
making Its extent over tho stato qtilto wide.
Tho greatest damage has resulted In John
eon county, where, many entire fields havo
suffered tho loss of the third cutting. Many
beet fields wero attacked, ns wero nlso thoss
of corn, Katllr cocn, wheat, oats and cab
bage, nnd pasture grtss and blue, grass
lawua were In many places Injured or en
tirely "destroyed.
After a thorough Investigation tho en
tomologists of tho university have concluded
that tho "fall army worm" is tin entirely
distinct insect from tho true army worm,
Tho Intter never appears In destructlvo
numbers in this latitudo after tho month of
August. Tho body of tho regular armji
worm Is smooth nnd devoid of hairs, but tha
fall army worm has tparso hairs growing
out from small black spots on tho lighter
portion of tho body, giving It a much rougher
appearance. Tho fall army worm, more
oer, poiacsses it whitish Y-shaped mark
upon tho head and differs no well In being
of considerable smaller size.
nielli. ids of FlglitliiK' tbc Voi-m.
Farmers arc advised to plow ns deeply
ns possible nil field In which .the fall army
worm has been observed. As is tho caso
generally In fighting Insects, methods which
look toward provcntlng damngo would bo
more cffcctlvo than direct ones when some
damage has resulted. Chief among tliesn
methods Is delaying tho planting of wheat
until tho latter part of September. A
wheat in the last wucculent crop of tho sta
tion in this section n very lato Insect llkn
tho fall nrmy worm naturally causes it great
injury. As a further precaution farmers arc
advised to keep tho ground In which tha
wheat is planted free from weeds and volun
teer grnta, so that no Inducement Is offered
the moths for tho deposit of eggs.
The Insect pnsseH the winter in an earthen
cell below the hurfaco of tho ground. Ily
actual experiment It hss been proven that
br simply breaking up this cell nnd thereby
exposing tho chrysalis to the action of th
molfeturo many of them will fall to develop
in tho spring. When plowing deeply It Is
possible to turn tho chrysalis under at least
six or nuvcn inches. Fall plowing I comlnR
Into general favor because itH advantages
In tho way of reception and retention of
molsturo aro more generally understood.
Alfnlfa Fields Slum 1.1 lie Disked.
Thero nro situations, ns In tho caso of
peronnlal crops, whero plowing cannot bo
resorted to. This. Is, notably so in tho case of
nlfalfn fields. These should bo thoroughly
disked and practically the same result will
bo obtained. In blue gloss lawns a thorough
rnklng with a long-toothed rako Is recom
mended. However, there are various means of re
ducing tho number of pests or entirely ex
terminating them after thoy havo appearod
in the fields. These may bo arranged under
the heads of poisoning, trapping and rolling.
Owing to tho great range of food plants and
the extent of tho field In which tho Insect
nppcar, it Is difficult to poison tbcm suc
cessfully. In tho cn?e of alfalfa fields or
other fields In which tho crops arc cut for
forage or pasture, the danger of poisoning
domestic animals renders tho method too
hazardous to bo used.
In tho boot fields It Is practicable to spray
thn plants. Paris green at tho extent of ono
pound to 150 gallons of water should bo ap
plied. Often when tho worms havo de
stroyed a crop In ono field they will go to
gether to tho next one. If they havo to
travel snmo distance they becomo ravenously
hungry before reaching it nnd by spreading
fresh-cut clover or nlfnlfn which has been
dipped In tho parls green solution great
numbers will ho destroyed,
H.mv to I" il I r nil Tliriii,
Altogether, tho best means nvnllablo are
directed against the worms whllo they aro
In progress from field to field. It is (some
times deslrnblo to cut tho crop upon which
they nro feeding to drive them out and to
ward others, whore they may bo entrapped.
To do this a furrow Hhould be plowed at
least tdx Inches deep, nt right angles to tho
direction in which they nre progressing. Ily
tho uso of n pndo the sido should bo mado
perpendicular nnd nt intervals of perhaps
eight feet hales ono foot deep should bo dug
in tho bottom. As the army advances It
fnlls Into tho trap thus formed, nnd by drnw
Ing a piece of brush back and forth most
of tho worms will ho crushed and tho re
mainder buried In the holes.
It Is nlso feaslhln to erect a barrier of
fence boards on edgo nnd supported by
ctakes, slanting slightly toward the ap
proach of tho worms. If tar Is smeared
along tho top no worm will cross,
Rolling Is often practicable whero no
other means can be used. In young wheat
fields or alfalfa fields in which n now crop
Is Jutt starting, piovided the surface is
smooth, n heavy roller can bo used to ad
vantage. Life HUl.ir) of the Insert.
The Insect and its life history Is described
by Prof. Hunter ns follows:
"The parent of tho worms is n moth of
general yellowish, ash-grny color, with tho
etcond pair of wings almost transparent,
hut with n purple reflection. In extent of i
wings It measures nbout ono nnd one-quar- I
tor Inches, and when these are closed the
length of the Insect Is nbout three-quarters
of an Inch. The front wings are mottled or '
marbled, especially near the center area, I
nnd usually there In visible a fine whlto
lino n short dlstnnco from tho edge nnil
parallel with It. The hind wings havo a
fringe or datker hair hh well as veins that
contract somewhat with tho lighter por
tions. "Tho fetnnlo ninth deposits her eggs In
clusters nf several layers upon tho leaves
and stems of the plants that the young nro
to feed upon and protects the mass by lov
ing upon II the long, lino hairs with which
her abdomen l covered. Tho individual
eggs r.ro about ns largo ns tho head of a
pin. Mberl;al In form, jcllowlsh In color
r.nd covered with ribs. As many as a hun
dred moy bo found In a single mass. The
young larvao upon emerging from the egg
nro decidedly darker In color than tho older
worms: In fact, aro almost black. From tho
beginning there nro vlsiblo short sparse,
bristlelike hairs over tho surface, which aro
nioro or less characteristic nf tho species.
Am I he 'Worm l)tvo!oiis,
"As tho worm bc omcs large the typical
form develops two pitch-colored longltudl-
unl stripes on tho tido3 and body. In tho ;
middle thero Is a yellowish-gray stripe :
about the width of tho dark onc3. On each
segment this light strlpo Includes four i
black dots lu pairs, of which tbo anterior I
aro about half as far npart as the posterior.
Marking the middle tine of tho body thero
Is a light, rftddlsh lino which furcates upon
tho head so an to form a Y-shaped mark.
Tho thrco anterior pairs of legs are sharp,
the others blunt and thicker and all with
blnck tips,
"With tho approach of cold weather In
tho fall the worms pass Into the ground
nnd enter tho chrysalis stage, In which the
winter Is passed. The chrysalis Is nbout
half nn Inch long, of a bright yellow color
when new, becoming darker to brown as It
remains in tho ground. These chrysallds
nro found throughout the fields that have
been Infested one or two Inches below the
surface. A favorite plnco will bo found to
be below some lint weed that has protected
the larvae from the sun while it wan enter
ing the ground."

gathered hero Tuesday owning to pnvlde
for the stale coinentlon of republicans to
select delegates to the national republican

that n convention for tho nomination of
