The table above will show the exact figures. Trading was fairly active on all desirable grades and the bulk was disposed of In good season. There were only a few cars of cornfed steers In sight and the quality of thoae was rather Inferior In the majority of caaes and nothing choice was offered. As a general thing the market was not far from steady, though In some cases salesmen were unable . to get quite as much for their cattle as they expected. The market could beat be de scribed by calling It steady to a shade easier. There were a rood manv Mm Included In the offerings and buyers took advantage of the opportunity to pound the market a lit tle. 'Borne of the beat grades did not Buf fer to any great extent, but the general market wan fyalOe lower than at the close of last week. Trading was fairly active, bo that the most of the cattle were disposed of In fairly good seanon. Bulls, veal calves and stags did not how much change from lsst Friday. l"he demand for stockers and feeders was Irneral this morning snd anything desirable commanded stronger prices. Western cattle In fact sold at the highest prices of the senson, as much as 34.20 being paid for a bunrh averaging 1.144 pounds. A good many cattle were good enough to sell from 33 90 to 34.10. The commoner kinds went at about steady prices, as compared with the close of last week. Western grass beef steers held about steady where the quality was at all good. There were more beef steers Included In the receipts than usual, but there were none too many of the desirable grades to meet pack ers' requirements. Common stuff was nat urally slow and weak. Range cows soli about 6frl0c lower, while atockers and feed ers, as mentioned above, commanded steady to strong prices. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. At. Tt. No. At.

Reports from other points were rather unfsvorable to the selling interests nd as a result the market opened rather alow and about a n'ekel lower than Saturday's average. Heavy hogs sold largely from 35.36 to 35.40. medium weights went from 35.40 to 35.45 and l'ghts Bold from 16.50 to 35.70. Coarse heavy hogs were hard o sell and some of them went aa low as 36.30. Later In the morning the fact developed that there were not as mnn" hogs as reported early In the corning and as a-result the close was active and stronger, some late sales being about steady with Saturday's general market.

Blackberries. And there Is scarce sale for the wonders, because the grocery men do not know they are In town and pass by without recognizing their old friends. Puy allup, in the state of Washington. Is the proud town which sends out blackberries at this late day when all the appendicitis has healed again by first Intention, and from now on for some days you may have them for the buying. The pioneers came In five freezers of fifty-four quarts each and the average sale yesterday was 12 cents a quart. Labor day had Its effect along the row and although the commission houses were wide open and the vegetables and fruits were out on the sidewalks pulling In any customers who came In sight, there was yet a noticeable quietude. The market gardeners were fewer In number than a Monday would seem to warrant. There was no movement to the Capitol avenue market house, which was tightly closed, and no pressure was brought to bear on the stubborn market men. Today, because of the Sunday closing and light business Monday, there may bo something doing and a big turnout. Cantaloupes were waiting around, but didn't seem to find a friend anywhere, and eomo of them may not last for tomorrow's business. Fifty crates of the genuine Rocky Ford came in by express and could not sell. The trouble Is that the hardy Nebraska article is, stealing into town without the aid of railroads or the consent of nations. Council Bluffs Is hendquarters (n the com ing days. The peaches and pears are still It. The Bartletts have dropped off "two bits," as they say In their home country, In a day or so and are now selling at 32 In lots. Some fall varieties are nt 31.75. Colorado peach delegates are looked for. They will be the first and are after the can of the earlier fruit. Potatoes were SO to S5 cents. There were none shipped In this week and so the price Is up. Last week the outsiders caused a slump. BRITISH NATIONAL PHYSIQUE Unfitness of a Large Proportion of Hen Seeking; Scrvlco 3a the Army. The physicar unfitness of a large propor tion of the men offering themrelves as re cruits for the army in England Is strikingly brought out by the recent report of the director general. Army Medical service, which was published by the War office in the form of a parliamentary paper. During the ten years Just past no less than about 35 per cent of those medically examined were rejected on various grounds, but many that were too evidently unfit on reporting were not examined at all, so that It Is believed that the total of the rejec tions amounted to 60 per cent, or three out of every five. It Is therefore an undoubted fact that at the present time a vtry con siderable proportion of the young men cf the country, especially In the towns, are physically defective -arid unfit for military service . . The Army and Navy Gazette In comment ing on this stata of affairs says: "Fortunately this Is not the case as re gards the entire population, but only those of the poorer classes. ' It is from the latter, however, that the bulk of the men desiring to be soldiers come. Owing to the advance of sanitary science, and to the encourage ment of athletic sports, the general phys ique of the upper and middle classes Is Im proving rather than deteriorating. "It Is a deplorable fact that In wealthy England some 6,300,000 of the people, dwell ers In overcrowded towns, are in a state of actual poverty. The bulk of the men seek ing enlistment belongs to this category." In this connection the director general remarks in his report: "Were all classes of the community able to provide their offspring with ample food and air space a healthy race would be pro duced and the proper material to fill the ranks of the army would probably soon be obtained." The new scheme of army organization for the British army requires 50,000 recruits a year, but the director general's report shows that only 68,000 are examined an nually, and of these about 23,500 are re jected, giving a deficiency of 6,500 per an num, which England hopes to make up by colonial assistance.

The statement of oil well shooters, who have said that they never bad but one acci dent, and did not live to discuss it, has been accepted as correct until the present time, but Leroy Hyer, a shooter for' the Bt. Mary's Torpedo company, has experienced his accident, but lives to tall It. Hyer was shooting an oil well In Van Buren township, Indiana, Saturday evening. He had previously lowered several hun dred quarts of nitroglycerin Into the well, and was sending down a tube containing twenty quarts of the high explosive, while twenty quarts remained In his wagon, standing near the well. The tube which waa being lowered is thought to have been leak ing, and the friction on the side of the drive pipe la supposed to have caused an explosion. When the tube containing twenty quarts was about fifteen feet below the surface. In stantly the derrick, engine house, boiler room and everything about the rig was de molished. The twenty quarts of nitrogly cerin remaining In the wagon also exploded, blowing the wagon into splinters. Hyer and two other fellows were standing In the en gine room. They were hurled Into the field, but not one of them was Injured. The horse that drew the wagon had been detached and tied to a fence a short dis tance from the oil well. The animal was not Injured. The place where the derrick stood is a yawning hole. Indlanapoll News. Mortality Statistics.

POPS SEEM TO BE AT SEA No On Abi to Toll Whethtr Convention Will B Hell ci Nt t. FORGAN SAYS PICK FROM OTHER TICKETS John O. Yeiser Exhibits a Spirit of In difference os to Jndlclal Nomina lionsTwo More Rennh llcan Candidates, Whether there will be a populist Judicial convention, or a mass meeting of populists, or any other kind of a meeting at Wash ington hall this afternoon or tonight is the question now being discussed by mem bers of the popullstto old guard. An adjournment of the combination pop ulist convention and mass meeting held In Washington hall August 22 waa taken to September 8, the reason given being that the populists desired to wait until after the democrats had held their convention and nominated candidates for the district bench. It waa also quietly stated at the same time that as there were only an even dozen men present, and as the law re quires that fifty electors be present and take part tn a district mass meeting no gal action could be taken. This provision of the law providing for nominations by mass meetings Is again ris ing up to trouble the faithful few who still desire to make a showing of popullstlc activity In Douglas county. It Is admitted that no formal call for a populist con vention of this Judicial district has been issued, and that the meeting tomorrow In Washington hall will not be a regular con vention. At the same time leading mem bers of the party admit that It wl".l be very hard to get fifty electors of Omaha to take part In the meeting unlesa assistance Is received from outsiders among the per sonal friends of the candidates. Spirit of Indifference. John O. Yeiser declares that he has taken little interest In the matter, and that so far aa he knows little Interest has been or Is being taken In it by other populists. "The only thing for the populists to do when they get together is to endorse can didates already nominated," Mr. Yeiser says, "as no good could be accomplished by putting up more candidates." P. L. Forgan, who Is credited with be ing a very "straight" pop"!'"1, says that In the present case the only thing for the populists to do Is to select the best men on the two tickets and endorse them. Do ing this, Mr. Forgan admits, may not be an easy task, as he has found that fellow populists do not agree with him as to who are the best men 6n the republican nd democratic tickets. "I do not believe In simply endorsing the bar ticket," said Mr. Forgan. "Lawyers In my opinion are tnklng entirely too active a part In all affairs; the people are Just ts able to select Judges as are the lawyers, and In some ways are letter able to' do so, as they. are not Influenced or prejudiced as are the lawyers." , Chairman Thomas cf the populist com mittee waa not at his office and the dis pute as to what hour the adjournment was taken to on August 22 remains unsettled. It was 2 p. m. according to some and 8 p. m. according to others. On the ground that probably a larger attendance can be se cured In the evening the meeting probably will be held at the latter hour. Two More File. Charles L. Thomas for county commis sioner and Paul F. Bteln for constable are the latest candidates for republican nominations to file their agreements and pay In fees to Secretary Messlck. Theodore Olsen has announced his can didacy' for the county clerkship and says he will make the required filing !n a few days. Samuel C. Walkup of the city clerk's office Is looking the ground over carefully and will 'also probably be In the ring for the same office, so that there will be at least four and probably five or six candi dates at'the primaries. Under the new law while county commis sioners are nomine ted by the district, they are voted on In the entire county. The district In which the vacancy occurs this year Is made up of the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth wards. From the Eighth It Is expected that George F. Munro and Grant L. Hutton will be candidates, and M. J. Kennard will divide the Seventh ward strength with C. L. Thomas. The Fourth ward has not yet, presented any positive candidate, but Is expected to do so, and the Seventh and Eighth may also produce several more candidates before the end of the week. One caller at Secretary Measlck's office yesterday wanted to know If there was any office for which he could run without putting up a fee. He was answered "No" and then his drooping spirits were revived and gladdened by the assurance that he would be made a primary Judge at 81.60 for his services. PLANS FOR BATTLESHIPS Upward of 1,200 Drawings Mast Bo 4 Mado and Approved by tho Government. When Uncle Sam desires to build a war ship there must be something over 1,200 plans drawn and approved by the gov ernment before the vessel can be con structed. These plans alone, In the cane of a first class' battleship such as ' Ver mont, the contract for which has been re cently awarded to the Fore River Ship and Engine company, near Boston, cost the builders about 375,000. For the steel plates of the hull, to take a single large Item, 500 distinct and separate plans are necessary. The 800 or 900 plans necessary for a hull as a whole range from a small sheet of paper twelve Inches square to a big sheet eleven feet long by two feet and a quarter wide; and each plan tnust be duplicated In at least a dozen blue prlnti to facilitate the work of the shops and save the original drawings from being worn out by constant handling. At a rough estimate this means that over 18,600 square feet of paper will ba covered with drawings before the yard begins hull construction, to say nothing of over 10,500 square feet of paper that will be used in preparing the schedules of ma terials by which the yard will order the various supplies necessary for construc tion. To make the, hull of a war vessel more paper Is used than would serve to wrap it up afterward. Meantime the en gine department and the electrical de partment must prepare their own plans on a similar scale of detailed munificence, the result being, all told, that about 1,200 separate drawings will be necessary be fore the battleship has been accurately made on paper. These hundreds of plans do not consist, as one might at first Imagine, In plan after plan of the vessel until Uncle Bam smiles approval and says ' Go ahead, that suits me exactly." As a matter of fact Uncle Bam has a very complete notion of what Is going to suit him exactly before the contracting shipbuilders touch pencil to paper, and the shipbuilder's work Is based upon yet another series of mysterious looking blue prints that come from the government. The first plans for every class of war vessels, with the single ex ception of the lively little torpedo boats ' and their equally lively little destroyers, are drawn by the government before any shipbuilding establishment Is Invited to bid for the task of finishing them. . But these first plans, although they represent the labor of three government depart ments, the Bureau of Construction and Re pair, the Bureau of Equipment and the Bureau of Ordnance, are simply a state ment of the kind of vessel wanted and are supplemented by a bound volume of speci fications that covers between 200 and 800 pages. It Is this Interesting volume that the management of the shipbuilding es tablishments has to reduce to terms of profit and cost before tt decides upon the minimum price for which It can build the vessel, pay about fouf years' wages to 1,000 workmen and put a little something In the bank on Its own account. In the case of Vermont the final cost per pound Is estimated at 15 rents, or three times the cost per pound of a thoroughly modern steel schooner. No object, either on land or sea, could be more carefully specified In Its every detail than a modern "lar vessel. When the government orders a canvas gun cover, for example, the specifications state defi nitely how many stitches to an Inch are to be taken In sewing the canvas, and these, stitches are not to be averaged up, but there must be Just so many of them In every Inch, no matter at what point the government Inspector who supervlBee the making of the cover may choose to count them. If the number is not parallel with the specification the right number of stitches must be put In at the expense of the company. This small example Is an exact Illustration of what "specifications" mean as they apply to a war vessel, Brooklyn Eagle, FAT MEN MUST PUT UP Sartorial Penalties Imposed on Ro tund People for the Good y of the Lean. The proposal of the union tailors at Chl coro to enforce discriminating charges against fat men, In proportion to the cloth conrutned by their garments, can only be loosed, upon with misgiving and aver sion. It Is Imposolble to regard the matter as a mere sporadic outbreak, for It has all the earmarks of a concerted movement of organized labor looking to a pitiless crusade upon stout persons to the advantage of the thin. It is obvious that If- fat men can te made to pay more for their clothes than they do now, lean men will. In ac cordance with the well known Jaws of com pensation, averages, etc., soon come to pay less. , If this vicious principle Is once estab lished in the tailoring trade, It will be but a short time until tt Is taken up by other unions and discrimination Is enforced agalnBt the fat all along the line. The street cars will begin to carry passengers by weight, and underwear will be listed at so much a size and half size, like carpet tacks or step-ladders. Shoes, even, will be sold by the square feet of leather they contain, and theater seats will be charged for according to breadth of beam. The next thing In order would be boycotts directed at all merchants who fail to discriminate sharply ngalnst embonpoint, and half the fat men In town would be declared unfair. There Is nothing that we know of In the theory and practice of organized labor that Is Inconsistent with this discreditable and melancholy program. The Darwinian law of natural selection shows us but too plainly what the end of such a tendency, once set In operation In the human species, must be. At once a percentage of ease in survival accrues to the lean Individuals, and a corresponding disadvantage In the struggle for life In heres In all fat Individuals. As time goes on, the fat individuals must find subsist ence increasingly difficult and the lean In dividuals will find tt Increasingly easier. Fewer of the fat will survive, more of the lean. And the Influence of 'natural selec tion will be Inescapably and trt mendously Intensified by sexual selection.- Fewer "ind fewer females will have the hardihood to brave public opinion In choosing fat mules for their mates, and the enterprise and re sources of lean males in the pursuit of partners will augment In arithmetical tf not geometrical ratio. Fat babies will grow few and eventually cease to be born, while the lean and hugry Individuals will live on the fat of the land. It Is needless to remind any correctly reared person how Egyptian, Stygian and also Cimmerian Is the darkness which such a prospect hangs over the future of the race. The fair and fitting character of fatness and the menace of leanness are stamped on almost every page of holy writ and unmistakably revealed tn the In spired utterances of Shakespeare. The an cient prophets held out promises of fat ness to the righteous and reprobated the lean with fine discernment and unequivocal severity. When the bard of Avon put the cada verous Cassius on an Immortal pedestal, he did so knowing full well how neces sary for humanity was the antithetical Ideal hinted at In "fat men, who sleep o' 'nights." Thus the consequences of a dastardly scheme In the ranks of Chicago's Journeymen tailors, are seen to reach fur Into the future of the race for weal or woe. Nine tailors. If they are good ones, can make a man. It Is said, but a tailor's union. If you give tt rope enough, will un make the entire human family. Portland Orcgonlan. HONEYMOON INTHE ARCTIC California. Yonnar People, with Time to Spare, Will Hunt Foxes In tho Polar Regjons. - Tho strangest and probably the wildest honeymoon on record was begun In Los Angeles a few days ago. Two young Ger man people are the participants of this unique and hazardous trip. John Drast, the bridegroom, came to America about five months ago with the avowed purpose of Journeying to the frozen north In search of fox skins. On his way across the con tinent he met the girl who ts now his bride. Ha told her of his plans, and rather than wait until his return before marrying she suggested that he take her along and that the trip be made their honeymoon. Drast Is 21 and his wife 22 years of age. The boat that carries them. Alert, although worn with age, Is looked upon by those familiar with Its gear as a good craft for almost sny kind of weather. It Is too small, however, to attempt a trip over so vast and rough a body of water. Alert is a sloop-rigged craft measuring about thirty-three feet over all, with a twelve-foot beam. It was purchased from a Ban Pedro fisherman for 3300. The couple carried with them about 3260 worth of pro visions, which are expected to last the voy agers until they reach their destination. Drast and his wife are going to a point 600 miles east of the McKinzle river, which flows Into the Arctic ocean, In search of black fox, whose skins are very valuable. They expect to spend the winter some where enroute and proceed further next summer. Drast said he would probably re turn In three years. Ban Francisco will be the only stop made between Los Angeles and the Behrlng sea. Drast seemed to understand the nature of his voyage exactly, but his little girl wife stood by and wondered what to think of It. at the same time manifesting alt confidence In her boyt h husband.
