Cash wheat, lc to l'io higher. -Reports of frost damage to late corn ' were more numerous yesterday and yet the strength In the market was more lirgely due to the upturn in wheat than to crop news. Weather conditions are fine.

Lambs and ewes were m ine largesi suppiy. While there has been a good demand for anything at all suliable for feeding purposes country buyers have not seemed anxious to take hold at above current prices. Previous to this week many com mission men were holding orders for feed ing lambs around 6c, but were unable to make purchases on that basis.

It was as if a horde of human locusts had passed through the land, devouring as they went At the hacienda of Acatlan, where there is a village of some 500 souls, Zapata decided to hold a bull fight, inasmuch as we ar rived there on Sunday. A stockade was built by the hacienda laborers, working under the muzzles of the rifles of Zapata's men, and a huge post erected in the center. "What are you going to do with the post?" I asked Zapata,' as we sat on our horses watching the erection of the bull "That is the special 'box for the bull fight," he replied; "it will be occupied by Senor Horcasltas." The manager of the plantation, a Spaniard, was named (Horcasltas and Zapata's vengeance has ever been directed against the bated Spaniards, who are looked upon as op pressors by all Mexicans of the lower class. On the day of the fight Horcasltas was brought from his home, striped naked, and bound to the post, with his feet Just below the height to whioh the bull could reach with Its horns. Then, Horcasltas' wife and two daughters were placed in a box built upon the side of the stockade, just opposite their husband and father, and compelled - to watch his -turony. Guards prevented the women leawiug the box, and when they fainted, as the two girls did, they were revived by none too gentle hands pouring raw sugarcane al cohol Into their mouths. Both girls were of the beautiful tropic mestlza type, and both went the way of all girls who fell Into Zapata's hands. One stabbed her self to death; the second and older died two or three ays later. But to return to the bull fight A black bull from the fields of the hacienda was turned into the ring, and a red-hot saber- point Jabbed into his shoulders to make him fight Meanwhile a brilliant red cloth had been bound around the feet of the unfortunate Horoasita. One of Za pata's men, ' waving another red cloth. led the bull around the ring twice, and then, when pain and anger had frenzied the animal, drew him directly to the red cloth on the stake. The bull lowered its head and hit the stake, shaking it from top to bottom. He seemed to realize that he had struck"too low, and, back ing away, charged again, this time hurl ing his head into the air to catch the tormenting red rag. One horn, entering tne victim's foot, split it from heel to toe, and, as his wild screams of agony arose a Zapatista shot him through the right hip with a rifle. This was more than I could stand, and I left the ring, dui i learned afterward that Horcasltas' body, riddled with bullets, was eventn. ally wrapped into the red cloth, and given to the bull for a plaything, -after which apaia nimseir shot the animal dead with a single shot from his plstol.- Ramon Jurado in the Wide World.

It was announced that all the walls of the new St Cecelia's cathedral are ex pected to be up by the tinie winter be- - gins. The sixth continuation building permit for the superstructure was granted during the week. Walls on the east end of the structure) , are already built but the facade on For tieth street thus far is just 45 feet high. It will be continued high enough next spring to accommodate the roof, which connects it with the opposite side. Por tions of the towers also will be erected. They will be as high as the front wall. By the time this work is completed the work on the building will have cost $250,000. It has been built gradually as funds have been accumulated. It Is ex pected that the building will be ready for occupancy by 1914. The construction Is being accomplished , by W. P. Deverell and Schall & Co., con- ' tractors for brick and stone respectively. Bids for the construction of the addi tion to the Omaha club proved greater than the committee having the project In charge anticipated. The result has been that the erection of the additional tructui 6 has beou postponed, probably indefinitely. ' It was intended to add a building the area of the present building with a foun dation for four stories, making room within it for card and lounging! robins, squash courts with gallery at the north end and shower baths, bowling alleys and other pleasurable feature In the basement The club took a vote on the project and it won out by a small majority. For this reason and the fact that the bids came higher than was expected, the post ponement of the building was thought necessary. , ' ' Stock la SUM.

The receipts were even greater than for the corresponding period last year. In other words, as many as 186,808 head were ca sale, a compared with about l57,uu tksad last week and almost 158,050 bead during the corre sponding week a year ago. The unusu ally large supply of sheep and lamb served as a bearish argument for buyers, causing prices in general to decline at least 20o below those prevailing at the end of last week.' The less desirable grades of killing lambs and some of the commoner kinds of feeding ewes may possibly have sold as much as 3650o lower.

The orchard that was is to be used henceforth for the cultivation of cotton. In explanation -of all this the owners simply say that peach raising proved unprofitable. They point to the fact that during the present sea son thousands of bushels of excellent fruit were allowed to rot for the reason that no market could be found for them. Forty years ago farmers in Iowa, Kan sas and Nebraska were burning corn as fuel for a like reason. The reason in the latter case was as insubstantial as It is In the former. There was a market for all the corn raised forty, years ago, but It wa sbeyond the reach of the Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska farmers. It would be regarded as a shocking and a shame ful thing if today any corn should be destroyed in any part of the west be cause of the difficulty in getting it to market It is shocking and shameful tnat thousands of bushels of peaches and other fruit are allowed to rot in the United States every year because of the expense of getting them to th con Burner. The long and short of it Is, there are consumers in the country for each peach raised in Georgia; every bushel of peaches raised on the destroyed 225,000 trees had a market; the trouble is that the system of distribution Is wretchedly inefficient and Inadequate. Fruit raiBers, vegetable raisers, meat raisersagricultural producers In general and all consumers are at the mercy of this system, and are victims of Its delays, its disappoint merits and its extortions. - No reason that can be called good exists for the annual waste of the earth' products consequent to the Inability of the so-called modern system of distri bution to bring the producer and the con sumer together. Georgia peaches Would have been welcome to thousands of com munlties that were denied them this season. If they could have been hauled quickly and cheaply they would hav found ready sale at reasonable prices. The destruction of great orchards in disgust over the failure of this advanced country and age to meet the ordinary re quirements of the people is not the way to solve the problem, but perhaps, this industrial tragedy may serve tha good purpos of arousing the American People to a realization of . the faeO that their whole distribution apparatus la anti quated and in need of complete adjust ment to ' modern conditions and needs Christian Science Momtor, " The Persistent and Judicious Us Newspaper Advertising Is th Road Business Success. The erectldh of the big Masonic temple, directly across the street from the Omaha club at Twentieth and Douglas streets, is progressing well. During the last week the cornerstone of the fine edifice was laid with appropriate ceremonies, the basement of the building ; having ap proached completion to that extent The entire building will be finished and ready for occupancy within a year. ' ' ' A site has been just purchased for which deeds were filed, for St Peter's Cathollo church. For) some years past the parish has grown in the direction of the new Field olub district, and a site suitable to this change has been se lected by the pastor, Rev. 3. F. MoCaP thy, at the corner of Thirty-second and Pacific streets. Seven lots in all were bought Two of these probably, will be used for a school site, facing east on Thirty-first street just north of Pacific. The other five lots hav a frontage of 128 feet on Paclfio street and a west frontage of 250 feet on Thlrty-seoond street The property Is located at one of the very highest points in Omaha, only torn htnnba tmm T-Taniunm Doric and close to the new Field club residence district. It is very convenient to all parts of the parish, being oh the west side park line, two blocks to the east side line and three blocks to the West Leavenworth line. The building probably will be started next year. The property was purchased through the O'Keefe Real Estate coon-' pany from George & Co. It consisted of approximately 750 acres lying mainly in the fertile Elkhora val ley northwest of EDkhoni and one mile north of Waterloo. This was the last one ot the large farms of the Crelghton Real Estate company's extensive holdings, which they are closing out to close up an estate. Mr. Rapp intends to use it for general feeding and farming purposes, and more than likely have his sons go upon It this coming spring. The sale was made by the Orin a Merrill company. and while th consideration Is not given it is said to be something between $45,000 and $60,000. CITY OFFICIAL NOTICES.
