MORMON CONFERENCE ENDS

raed vVlth Personal
Vlolenee.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 9-The
seventy-fifth annual conference of the
Mormon church closed today after the
members preaent had unanimously voted
It the bert conference In the history of
the church. Those who recently have at
tacked the church and Its leaders were
referred to In an address by J. Golden
Klmtiall, one of the first seven presidents
of the aeventlea, who said:
"If It were not for Joseph F. Smith, a
man of Ood, who restrains his children,
and they are obedient to their father, I
want to tell you there would be some
here horsewhipped. But his children obey
him and he Is a man of Ood and needs
no one to make an apology for him."
President Kimball denounced President
Smith's critics as traitors to the church
and added: "If you want to go to hell
black your boots and go like a gentleman,
not like a traitor."
Apostle Hyrum Mack Bmlth, son of Pres
ident Joseph F. Bmlth, also attacked the
critics of the church, and especially news
paper writers, and said President Roose
velt was obliged to have a guard , when
he traveled because of the libelous slams
and cartoons aliout him In the newspapers.
Apostle Smith said further:
"In President Roosevelt we have a friend
and he has friends among the Latter Day
Balnta, and we will be true to him and
true to Old Olory, because we are a true
people. President Roosevelt will give us
a square deal. We will do all we can to
sustain President Roosevelt, for we are
true to him and we will demonstrate It
In the future as we bave In the past."
OGLESBY'S CLASSIC ON CORN
Impromptu "perch hy a Former Got.
rroor of Illinois Which Rings
with Eloquence.
A little classic on "corn" was the Im
promptu speech by the late Richard
Oglesby, governor of Illinois ard United
States senator from Illinois. deVVcd at
the Fellowship club of Chicago, fijmber
9, 1894, on the occasion of the Harvest Home
festival. The circumstances were these:
Former Governor Ogleaby sat at the
speakers' table at the south end of the
room and had been In earnest conversation
with Sir Conan Doyle up to the moment of
the call of his name. The toastmaster was
Franklin H. Head, nnd the toast that he
gave to each speaker was "What I Know
About Farming." The governor arose
Blowly and was seemingly waiting for an
Inspiration. He looked deliberately upon
the harvest decorations of the room and
Anally his eyes seemed to resf upon the
magnificent stalks of corn that adorned the
walls. He then slowly and Impressively
said:
"The corn, the corn, the corn, that In Its
first beginning and Its growth has fur
nished aptest Illustration of the tragic an
nouncement of the chlefest hope it man If
he die he shall surely live again. Planted
In the friendly but sombre bosom of the
mother earth It dlee. Yen H ti.. .1
ond death, eurrenderlng up each trace of
lurm ana eartniy shape until the outward
tide Is stopped by the re-actlng vital germ
which, breaking all the bonda and cere
ments of Its sad 1 decline, comes bounding,
laughing into life and light the fittest of all
the symbols that make certain promise of
xno iaie or man. And so it died and then It
lived again. And so my people died. By
some unknown, uncertain and unfriendly
fate, I found myself making my first Jour
ney Into life from conditions as lowly as
those surrounding that awakening, dying,
living Infant germ. It was In thoae days
when I, a simple boy, had wandered from
Indiana to Springfield, that I there met the
father at this good man (Joseph JefTerson),
whoae kind and gentle word a to me were as
water to a thirsty eoul, as the shadow of a
rock to a weary man. I loved his father
then. I lov,i the son now. Two full genera
tions have been taught by his gentler
and smiles, and tears have quickly an
swered to the command of hie artistic mind.
Long may he live to make us laugh and
cry. and cry and laugh by turns, aa he may
choose to move us.
"But now again my mind turns to the
glorious corn. See It! Look on Its ripening
waving field. See how it wears a crown,
prouder than monarch ever wore, some
times Jauntily and sometimes after the
storm the dignified eurvlvors of the tempest
seem to vllew a field of slaughter and to
pity a fallen foe. And see the pendant
caskets of the cornfield filled with the wine
of life and see the silken fringes that set a
form for fashion and for art. And now the
evening comes and. something of a time to
rest and listen. The scudding clouds conceal
the half and then reveal the whole of the
moonlit beauty of the night, and then the
gentle winds make heavenly harmonies on
a thousand thousand harps that hang upon
the borders and the edges and the middle
of the field of ripening corn until my very
heart seems to beat responsive to the rising
and the falling of the long melodious re.
fraln. The melancholy clouda sometimes
make shadows on the field and hide Its
aureate wealth, and now they move and
slowly. Into sight there comes the golden
glow of promise for an Industrious land
Glorious corn, that more than all the sis
ter, of the field wears tropic garments.
Nor on the shore of Nflus or of Ind does
nature dress her forms more splendidly
My Ood, to live again that time when for
me half the world was good and the other
half unknown! And now again, the corn
that In Its kernel holds the strength that
shall (fn the body of the man refreshed)
subdue the forest and compel response from
every stubborn field, or. shining In the eye
of beauty, make blossoms of her cheeks and
Jewels of her lips and thus make for man
tho greatest Inspiration to well doing the
hope of conpanlonshlp of that sacred, warm
and well-embodied soul, a woman.
. "Aye, the corn, the royal corn, within
whose yellow heart there Is of health and
strength for all the nations. The corn tri
umphant, that with the aid of man hath
made victorious procession across the tufted
plain and laid foundation for the social ex
cellence that la and Is to be. This glorious
plant transmuted by the alchemy of Ood
sustains the warrior In battle, the poet In
song, and strengthens everywhere the thou
sand arms that work the purposes of life.
Oh that I had the voice of song or skill to
translate Into tones the harmonies, tha
symphonies nnd oratorios that roll across
my soul when standing sometimes by day
and sometimes by night upon the border,
of this verdant sea I note a world of prom
ise, and then before one-half the year I.
gone I view Its full fruition and see Its
heaped gold await the need of man. Majes
tic, fruitful, wondrous plant. Thou greatest
among the manifestations of the wisdom
and love of Ood, that may be seen in all
the fluids or upon the hillsides or In the
valleya."-Boalon Transcript.

- Last year, while a student at the State
Normal school In Salem, I was practicing
In grade N6. 6 of the model achool con
nected with that Inatltutlon. During the
hUtory lesson one day I had toM the atory
of Benedict Arnold's betraying hi. country.
The following morning, wishing to find
out the Impression my story had made, I
asked for opinions as to why Arnold was
tempted to commit such a base deed.
One answer, which electrified teacher and
visitors, was: "He got married and needed
the money." Boston Herald.
HELD AS A HOTEL DEAD BEAT
Mas W( Made Quite a Flamre la
Omaha Sow t'nder Arreat
In Iowa.
J. A. McDonald, a Scotchman, who ar
rived In Omaha last Thursday and regis
tered at the Paxton hotel, and represented
London. England, as his residence, crowded
a variety of experience Into his and other
people's memories during his sojourn In
Omaha until Tuesday morning, when he
started for a new field and certain Inter
ested persons began looking for him. Mc
Donald is about 10 years old. of rather dis
tinguished appearance, well dressed and
ha with him numerous pjeces of baggage,
seemingly confirming his story that he Is
leisurely traveling through the country.
He devoted himself while here to the culti
vation cf a number of Scotchmen and un
dertook to make himself a pleasant and
agreeable visitor from Scotland, about
which country he seemed to know much
that Interested them. He patronized the
bar liberally and endeavored to leave the
Impression that he was a good fellow and
very glad to meet so many agreeable
people. He paid his Mil of IIS at the hotel
with a check, and, securing his baggage,
left the hotel. Previous to this he had a
check cashed for 350 at the hotel. Late
In the afternoon he was arrested In Cnr
roll, la., on a charge of defrauding the
hotel, and Is now in Jail. Word was re
ceived last night that he would not return
without a requisition.
McDonald's departure was accompanied
by eome peculiar moves, which afterward
excited suspicion. When he left the hotel
he said he must gi out to Blnney street
and visit some of his Scotch friends, and,
taking his numerous grips In a hack, he
was driven to that street, where he had,
them unloaded and discharged the hack
man. His new acqualntancey who esked
hlra why he brought his baggage with him.
entertained him for only a few minutes,
when he secured a new rig and without
saying where he was going was driven
away, although he left the Impressioa
that he was not leaving the city.
In the new rig McDonald was driven to
the Illinois Central depot In Council Bluffs,
where he paid and discharged the driver.
When this driver was out of sight he called
anothor rig and was taken, bag and bag
gage, to the Chicago ft Northwestern de
pot, from which point. It has afterward
been learned, he bought a ticket to some
nearby town: The police think he In
tended to pay his way further when he
determined Just where he wanted to go.
Something ifaust have led him to change
his mind, for when the train slowed down
as It passed through Carroll, la., he
Jumped from the train and Injured hliXself
pretty severely. This attracted general at
tention to the man and when a description
of him was sent out by the police his iden
tity waa readily established. He was then
arrested and locked up and word pent to
the police in Omaha. When McDonald
learned that he would be taken back to
Omaha he refused to submit and said
that he would not go without a requisition.

LONDON, April 9.-The stock market de
veloped dullness during the week, owing to
the various new bond Issues attracting
more attention from the public Investor
than speculative shares. The disappearance
of the hopes of peace between Kusala and
Japan, which caused Paris to sell here, also
added to the depression, while the Moroc
can question and the home political situa
tion had an effect on the sensitive market
which was reflected In the decline in the
price of consols during thd wetk. Money
for the time being In fairly cheap, now that
dividends have been disbursed and -the
Japanese loan calls paid, but there is some
doubt that there will be a plethora at the
present time owing to the fact that Paris
Is absorbing all the gold on the open mar
ket, presumably tor Russia, and not much
is likely to arrive at the Bank of Kngland.
Should the war be concluded soon the posi

Manchester Textiles.
MANCHESTER, April 9. The cotton
cloth business was limited last week In
consequence of the heavy commitment of
froduoers. Fair lines were placed for
ndla and China at fair rates. Cloths had
a fair Inquiry from the Levant and Egypt,
and the best finishing cloths were lirm.
Miscellaneous orders were received from
South America, with counter orders at
higher rates for midsummer delivery as
against winter delivery. Although certain
manufacturers are heavily engaged well
ahead, It Is thought that estimates of
engagements recently have been somewhat
exaggerated and merchants occasionally
are surprised when offers are muda for
comparatively early delivery. Yarns were
quiet. The reduction In the turnover has
not affected the recent quotations to which
spinners firmly adhere.

CATTLE There were about twenty cars
of cattle reported here this morning, but
there were only eight of them on sale, so
there was not much opportunity for testing
the market and prices could not be quoted
anything but steady. For the week re
ceipts have been a trifle heavier than they
were last week, but as compared with the
corresponding week of last year, there Is
a fnlllng off of about 1,700 head.
The cattle market this week has been by
all odds the best of the aeason to date.
While receipts have not been far from nor
mal at this point, the total number of rat
tle aold at the five leading markets hns
been much smaller than It was a year ago,
and as the demand has been of usual pro
portions, prices have made a sensational
advance. Beef steers may- be quoted gen
erally 50c higher than they were a week
ago. or 76(?85c higher than they were two
weeks ago. It la not often that cattle
values advance that rnpkllv, but In this
case there have not been enough on Bwl4
to meet the requirements of the trade, and
as a result competition has been verv keen.
The high point of the week here was 36.30,
paid on Friday, but the cattle were not
strictly choice, so thnt It Is thought that a
strictly prime bunch of cattle would have
sold well up to the 16 50 mark. Good to
choice grades can safely be quoted from
85.90 to 16.40- fair to good, 6.3a5.90, and
common to fair. 34.25ft5.15.
The ranee of nrlces on rowa orA t,Ai
Is now the widest It has been In manv
month This Is owing to the fact that
while good to choice grades have been ad
vancing rapidly for the laat two weeks, the
gain for this week alone, amounting to
about 50c, the common kinds have ehown
little If any Improvement. The common to
fair klnde may be quoted from 31.75 to $3 ffi.
The fair to good gradea now sell from 33 25
to 84.10 and the good to choice from 14.25 to
14.85, and aomethlng atrletly prime would
bring more than that. Prime heifers are
quotable up to 6.35 and thev might bring
a little more than that. Thia mnkes a
range of prices between choice heifers and
common cannero of at least 33.60.
Bulls are a little higher for the week. In
sympathy with the advance on ateers and
cows. Oood to choice grades are quotable
from $3.75 to 84.15 and the common to fair
grades from 32.50 to $3.50. Veal calves have
not shown much change, the bulk of them
selling from $4.00 to $0.75, with choice ones
up to $6.
The rapid, advance In the price of fat cat
tle has of course stimulated the demand
for stockers and feeders and prices have
advanced to aome extent. The middle of
the week there was a gain of fully K(S1hc
but since that time some of the gain has
been lost, so that prices are not A grent
deal higher than they were a week ago.
The demand Is still confined 1irgely to the
better grades, so that common cattle are
more or less neglected, and such kinds are
only about steady for the week. Oood to
choice eattle may be ouoted at from $4 50
to $5.00; fair to good, $4.(Wi4.50, and com
mon to fair $2.7TVna 90, Representative sales

HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here this morning, but Chicago waa quoted
lower and aa a reault packers starred out
to buy their supplies for less money at this
point and their bids were mostly 2VfC lower
than yesterday's general market. Sales
men, however, were holding for steady
prices and as a result not much business
was transacted at the opening prices. Later
In the morning some of the buyers started
offering steady prices and the hogs began
to change hands. The other buyers then
jumped in and It was not long before every
thing In the yards was out of first hands
The bulk of the sale, went from 35.22H to
1S.27H. with the long string at $5 25. The
choicer load, went mostly from 36.27W to
15 30, with a ton at $5.32.
For the week receipts have been very
light at this point, there being a decrease
as compared with last week amounting to
about 7,000 head and as compared with the
same week of laat year there la a falling
off of about 4,000 head. The general tend
ency of price, has been upward under
the Influence of light receipts and about
a normal demand, and a net gain over
the close of last, week of about a dime I.
noted. The high point of the week and
of the season wa. reached on Thursday,
when the average coat of all the hogs was
about $5.30, or a nickel mora than today',
average. Representative sale.:

The wheat market was weak from the
start. Notwithstanding a sharp advance
at Liverpool as a result of decrensed ship
ments from Australia, the opening quota
tions for May here were mr'ie down at
tl.l6Hl.l4j. July varied from a shade ad
vance to lftHe decline. St R7?i8Sc. Mav
was under moderate selling pressure from
several prom'nent bull traders and with
very little demand the price quickly re
ceded to $1 16"v July eased off In svmpathv
to 87c. after touching S8fl8Si(,c. Trading
was quiet and the volume of business was
very small. The dullness was due largely
lo uncertainty regarding the government
report which will show the condition of
rail-sown wheat and la generally expected
to be exceedingly bearish. The Mav de
livery waa nervous the greater part of the
day. On covering bv shorts the price was
quickly bid up to $1.17. The mere distant
deliveries, however, were Icellned to drag.
The Kansas state report showing the con
dition of winter wheat to be 91 per cent,
as sgnlnst 83 per cent a year ngo, waa a
bear h factor In the Isle trading. A more
decidedly weakening Influence was a report
from Minneapolis thnt the flour mills there
would soon close down o-ntng to poor de
mnnd for flour. Renewed profit-taking fol
lowed and May became quite weak Just he
fore the close, declining again to $1 15H.
July sold off It S7V. The market closed al
most at the lowest point, with Mav at
$1.15'),. July at 87H'Si74c. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 7o.2il tin.
Primary receipts were 207,500 bu . compared
with 214,200 bu. a year ago. Minneapolis.
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of
1' cars, against 214 cars laat week and 113
cars a year ago.
The Inactivity and weakness of the wheat
market waa reflected In the corn pit. Trad
ing was very quiet. Primary receipts
double those of the corresponding day a
year ago. and expectations of greatly In
creased shipments from Argrntlna v ero
bearish Influences. Closing prices were at
about the lowest point of the day. July
opened unchanged at 477o, sold off to 47vo
and closed at ii'qic. Ixical receipts
were 227 cars, with 16 of contract grade.
Business In the oat pit waa dull. Consid
ering the weakneas of other grains the
tparket had a firm undertone. Small re
ceipts and prospects of a continuance of
similar conditions gave support to prices.
Trading was mainly of local character.
July opened unchanged at 29Hc, soldi be
tween 2iHc ana Z9"2c, and cioseu at
JySc. Local receipts were 87 cars.
Provisions had a quiet dny, with a ten
dency slightly In favor of lower prices. A
small decline In the price of hogs was a
bearish influence. At the close July pork
waa off 7Hc at $13,074. Lard and rlba were
each down 6e

OMAHA. April 8, 190R.
Whatever effect the government report
to come out Monday will have. It has been
discounted by the market today, which
closed the week weak, nnd In which every
body was evidently walling to see what
would be doing after Sunday. The specu
lative market closed on the low point.
May wheat ranged between $1.17 and fl 154.
agHlnst $1.17", and $1.16 Friday. The July
went between RSe and 874c against 88S0
and S7c. The government report Is ex
pected to show a condition between 88 and
91 per cent. If the condition Is 90 per cent
that will mean fifteen bushels nn acre, or
a crop of 4TB,oo0.noo bushels. If the Kansas
condition Is W per cent, ond were main
tained, this would give a crop of 100,0u0.0n0
bushels In only four venrs during ths
past eighteen h.is the April average been
90 or above. The usual standing Is between
8" snd 87 per rtnt.
The Minneapolis contract stocks are now
10.7iVt.6S5 bushels, which Includes 4,778.2
bushels of No. 1 northern wheat. This Is a
decrease of 4M.7(4 bushels. Since January
1, or three months, the stocks have de
creased 3.1iin,ni) more than they did for the
same period last year. The car receipts
Friday were 221 and the shipments were
104. ngatnst 174 In and 25 out the same iiy
Inst year, making a loss of 32 for this year.
The receipts today arc 146. If this ratio
Is kei t up and the loss continues from
now on. by July 1 the IdlnK-tpolls stocks
will be 2, 000. 0i) bushels, a.-r.nnst S.800,000
last year. The bulls point out that at
the present rate, of grinding the Minne
apolis mills would use 2.(0,ot'0 bushels lit
eight days There Is a rumor some of the
larger mills will close next week.
The Kansna April report gives the condi
tion at 95 against 88 In December and 83
a year ago. The crop was then dameed,
hy floods and turned out only 66..H1O.0OO ,
btishels. The world's shipments are esti
mated nt 9.60fl.(ioo bushels. The Australian
shipments are Oi'O.flnO bushels againxt 1.348.
00 bushels the preceding week and 1.256,000
bushels Inst year. The primary rec-lpts
nre 227. noil bushels ng.ilnst 214.0OA, bnsli.l.
last year and th shipments are 194,000
bushels ngalnst 261.000 bushels.
The corn receipts nnd movement seem
to be fnlllng off. In fact, as they have on
paper for a considerable time. Friday
Chicago got only 293 cars. Kansas City Wp,
Pi. I.ouls 31 and Omnha 8. Today It was
228. 32, 58 and 24. The speculative market
waa wenk with wheat and closed at the
low point. The Mnv range was frem 48.o
to 47V against 4Sc nnd 47V. Chicago
haa begun londlmr out corn Into three
shins, the capacity being 490.000 bushels.
They wait onlv for the Ice In the straita.
The primary receipts are 618,000 bushels
agninst wr.i.con imshels and 4lie anipmen'.n
are 668.000 bushels ajrnlnst 182 000 bushels.
Tho corn clearances were 210,000 bushels.
