OMAHA. Oct. 19. 1912.
Nw that hostilities between Turkey
nd the Balkan states have actually
commenced, the grain trade does not
(eel as uneasy a it did when there were
rumors of possibility of fighting. A
trader who is a close student of market
conditions from every standpoint says
that the treaty of peace between Italy
and Turkey means that the Dardanelles
will be kept open to commerce.
Thc who claim to know say that the
northwest sold a big line of wheat in
Chicago on Monday's bulge, which has
not been digested; alao that there was &
little covering of shorts on northwestern
orders on Thursday's break. There has
been an immense business in hedging be
tween Chicago and the northwest and
those who put out short lines In Minne
apolis whan It was at a premium over
Chicago were closing them yesterday at
4o discount. Cash wheat, Vic lower.

CATTLE Cattle receipts were very
light this morning, but for the week
there has been a liberal run, the total
showing up not far from what it was
last week and quite a little larger than a
year ago.
The supply of beef steers of desirable
quality has been very moderate all the
week, while there has been a good buy
Ing demand. In consequence of this the
market 011 the better grades of cattle at
the close of tne week is fully steady and
if anything strong as compared with thr
close of lust week. On the other hand the
medium to common kinds have been in
liberal supply and they are steady to
possibly a little lower.
Cows and heifers have been in large
supply all the week, but at the same time
there has been a good demand for the
best killers and for canners. As a re
sult these two widely different grades of
cattle have commanded steady prices. On
the other hand, the in-between kinds 01
cattle, that is, cattle that were neithei
strictly good killers nor canners, have
been slow and are 1520o lower than a
week ago.
A very large proportion of all the cat
tle coming has been made up of stockers
and feeders. Fortunately there has been
a very good demand and the desirable
kinds have remained fully steady
throughout the week and In addition to
that have been active sellers on most
days. On the other hand . the lnferioi
grades and less doslrable kinds have not
been in such active demand and by rea
son of the large supply have gradually
eased off, being slow to a little lower.

HOGS There was apparently a gooa
outlet for the bulk of today's very fair
run of hogs. Trade began early and was
active most of the morning, with prloes
ruling anywhere from steady to a nickel
higher. Business transacted during the
first rounds was largely on a strong to
ba higher basis, with practically only the
packers and speculators as competitors,'
the shiDU ng demand amounting w lime
or nothing. Unlike yesterday the trend of
prices as noted above wag higher rather
than lower and as the morning advanced
trade eased off a little, instead of im
proving. Bulk of the offerings were dis
posed of during the middle of the mar
ket on a level a shade higher than yes
terday, the closing sales showing all the
early advanoe lost and possibly a little
weakness compared with yesterday's best
time. Trade at the wlndup was somewhat
slow in comparison with the opening.
Bulk of the hoits sold around Ui.tfxiis.7u.
with a load of best hogs on sale bringing
18. xo, top for the day, and a nickel higher
than yesterday's best prices. Receipts foot
ud about 67 cars or $.921 head, as against
2,if.O last Saturday, 3,2x3 two weeks ago
and 6,530 head on the corresponding day
a year ago.
The supply of hogs for the - week
anicAints to 29,466 head, as against 25,280
head last week, 28,899 head two weeks ago
and 27,043 head for the same time last
year. Prices today average about lo30c
lower than the end of last week, bulk
then selling around $3. 858.96, compared
with $S,65i&7& this morning. Top price
lost Saturday was $8.96, as against a top
of $8.80 today. Last week prices grad
ually worked up, while this week prices
have fallen.
8HEKP There were not enough sheep
or lambs on the market to afford a test
nf values, and in consequence values re-
mam nominally tne same as yesterday.
Ver yactlve trade and much higher
prices were the outstanding features of
the market on fat sheep and lambs dur
ing the current week. While the supply
has been the lightest In a month the de
mand for anything that would do " for kill
ers was apparently greater, mostly all the
offerings meeting with a ready sale. The
advanoe In prloes was most sudden since
the erratic market in fed stuff early last
spring. Killing lambs made a leap of
35c In one day, and now are fully 75c
higher than a week ago, and In some
casea as much as a dollar higher. Fat
ewes soared equally as high as Iambs,
present values showing about the same
advance. While the best wethers sold
around $3.90(4.10 a week ago, a bunch on
Tuesday brought $4.60, and another one
sold as high as $4.60 on Wednesday. What
fat yearling were here showed an Im
provement around ' 25S5c. Few, if any
wethers or yearlings, were In evidence
during the latter part of the week. Tak
ing the sorts into consideration prices on
killers are even higher than they appear
on paper, as the packer buyers made very
small sorts, compared with last week.
' While feeders in general show an ad
vance. It is not nearly so marked as on
killers. Feeding lambs show little if any
Improvement over a week ago, while feed
ing ewes and yearlings are about 25S5c
higher. Wethers are strong compared
with a week ago. The best lambs weigh
ing around 65 pounds or more sell around
$6.156.30. Light and medium weight
hearers are in best demand and are sell
ing relatively higher than the heavier
kinds. According to packers' account
around 49.199 head of sheep and lambs
were bought as feeders as against 85,693
head the week previous.
Receipts for the week foot up about
101,439 head, as against 148,048 last week.

HOW HOWARD STANDS ON
FRATERNAL INSURANCE
"While my opponents are trying to
make capital against me as si candidate

not for profit or gain, but for the pro
tection of widows and orphans and those
dependent upon It.

Old-Time Operator
Called to His Reward
-
With the death last Tuesday night of
H. M. Harris, there passed out this life
one of the most unique characters in
the telegraph fraternity. He died at St
Joseph's hospital, where he had recently
been confined with acute Bright's disease
"Major" Harris, or "Chilly" Harris, as
he was known the country over, had,
until two years ago, been an active
telegrapher for more than fifty years.
He was 72 years old when he died. He
had worked In every branch of the
telegraph service and was a veteran of
the old "register" system, when the tape-
was used as a means of reading the
telegraph long before the sound system
came Into vogue. In his younger days h
was considered one of tiie most expert
telegraphers In the country. As late as
twenty years ago he was a press operator,
being employed by the old United Presa
He copied from one of the fastest press
wires in the country without the aid of
a typewriter, which' today Is considered
the only proper way of transcribing the
telegraphic signals.
At one time he was the only telegrapher
employed by the company now known as
the Western Union In Omaha He at that
time worked under Edward Rosewater,
later editor of The Omaha Bee, who was
manager of the Pacific Mutual company
In Omaha.
The face of Major Harris was a familiar
one around the Omaha Board of Trade
and Grain exchange for the last twenty
years. His Judgment was considered good
by many speculators and not a few of
them refused to place orders without
consulting him. The personal appearance
of Harris, despite his age, was, always
the best. He wore a heavy, but well
kept beard, the whiteness of which added
to the dignified appearance of the old
fellow. He had a cheerful word for
everybody, and if he bad an enemy no
body ever knew of It

PRISONER BECOMES INSANE
AND ATTACKS HIS CELLMATES
Mike McDermott, sentenced to the
county Jail for drunkenness yesterday, be
came violently insane last night in the
"bull pen" and only the timely work of
Deputies Cassldy and Wallace prevented
him from working harm to himself and
to other prisoners, whom he had cornered
and was striking with a heavy pan.
He was subdued after a struggle and
confined in a separate cell, and today he
will be taken to the county hospital If
his condition does not Improve.
Early in the evening McDermott got
hold of the water hose which Is used in
scrubbing the floors, and after drenching
all of the prisoners, including himself, he
attempted to drown a negro by putting
the pipe in his mouth and holding him.
but it win not be avoided.
The Virgin Mother is seen kneeling be
fore the cross and the profile view of
her face presents such bitter grief that

Columbia Grads
On theFiring Line
The current number of the Columbia
University Quarterly calls attention to
the active participation of .Columbia

"At Chicago President Butler assisted
in drafting the platform and delivered a

Taft. Victor Rosewater, '91, Nebraska,
chairman of the republican national com
mittee, was temporary presiding officer
of the convention. At Baltimore, Sen

ORKIN BROS. BUY
OUT R. & D. SHOE CO.
After two months of business, the R.
A D. Shoe Specialty company sold Its
large stock of new fall footwear to
Orkln Brothers.
This company opened at 1508 Harney

shop by Orkin Brothers at the present
time Is a singularly fortunate one.
These stunning shoes, that are now on

a, flurry among Omaha's well dressed
men and women.
In order to handle the crowd that is

Bee Want Ad Brings
Watch Thought Stolen
No more slurring remarks and con
temptuous comment about ungallant acts
may be aimed at the light-fingered pro
feesion sojourning in Omaha
It Is Policewoman Katherine Drummy
who comes to the rescue of the berated
crook. Last week's papers chronicled that
while with the 'policewoman, Mrs. Sarah
Drummy, a cousin from Dubuque, had a
watch stolen from her. Harsh terms were
directed at the thieves by the Indignant
press representatives who composed the
story, and husky and ill-tempered blue
coats scoured the town for the villains.
Mrs. Drummy would not believe thai
Omaha could harbor such mean thieves,
so she started out on a still hunt herself.
Yesterday she was not only able to re
cover the timepiece for her relative, but
at the same time redeem the lost honor
of the abused profession. She discovered,
that the watch had been lost, and by usej
of a Bee want ad she found It In the
possession of 10-year-old Herman Len

Germans Care Little
For Wilson Doctrine
Much effort was made by the local
democrats to secure a great turnout of
Germans at a Wilson meeting to be held
at the; German home last night, but evi
dently the local Germans can't see such

any rate, when Statesman Stoecker called
the meeting to order, after getting him
self chosen chairman, the count showed
but a handful of the expected multitude.
George A. Schmidt had been Imported
from Warsaw, Wis., to make the prin
cipal address of the evening, but his
time was cut short by the speech of tha
chairman, who had a speech of his own
and wanted to make it He did it and
finally gave way to the visitor, who told
the Germans how much it would help)
them if Wilson were elected and every
thing were admitted free of duty, etc
