THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle—There was the lightest run of
cattle that has arrived on a Thursday in
a long while. Packers were anxious for
supplies, so that prices wore steady to
strong, and it only took a short time for
sellers to dispose of practically eve: hlng
they had on hand. There was a good
proportion of beef steers in the receipts,
and the quality was up to the usual stand
ard. As high as $6.90 was paid for some
heavy export cattle that weighed 1.464
pounds. The heavyweight cattle that are
good enough for export beef, and also the
good to choice lightweights, seemed to be
In the best demand. The cow market was
fully steady. Anything at all desirable
met with ready sale at good, steady prices
and In some cases sales were made that
looked a little better. Bulls, veal calves
and stags sold in just about the same
notches they did yesterday. The desirable
grades were easy to dispose of. but com
mon stuff was neglected. There were not
many Stockers and feeders on sale and
the better grades sold without much
trouble at just about steady prices.
Hogs—There was a moderate run and
the general market could be quoted fairly
active and steady to strong. The quality
was exceptionally good. The good hogs
sold at strong prices, and in some cases
were as much as 5c higher. The light
hogs sold in about the same notches they
did yesterday and were neglected more or
less, the same as usual. They were left
until the last, when they sold at about
steady prices. The heavy hogs sold
largely from $6.95 to $7.10. Medium
weights went mostly from $6.90 to $6.95
and the light hogs from $6.80 down.
■Sheep—There was not a very heavy sup
ply of sheep, us the receipts presented
show. Included in the offerings was a
big string of feeders that were sold to
arrive, so that the number of sale was
limited. Packers all took hold in good
shape and paid steady to strong prices for
all desirable grades, so that the pens
were practically cleared in good season.
Some Mexican wooled lambs sold at $6.75
and some clipped wethers at $5.60. Feed
ers also sold at high prices. The lambs
brought $6.25 and the yearlings $5.80 with
the wool on.

CUBAN BILL PASSES.
Measure Giving Reciprocity to Island
ers Goes Through the House.
WASHINGTON, April 19—The
democrats and the republican insur
gents rode rough-shod over the house
leaders yesterday when the voting be
gan on the Cuban reciprocity bill.
They overthrew the ruling of the
chair in committee of the whole on
the question of the germaneness of
an amendment to remove the differ
ential from refined sugar during the
existence of the reciprocity agree
ment provided for in the bill. The
vote to overrule the decision of the
chair, made by Mr. Sherman, was 171
to 130, republicans to the number of
thirty-seven joining with a solid dem
ocratic vote to accomplish this result.
Having won this preliminary victory
the amendment was adopted in com
mute—164 to 111—and later in the
house by a still larger majority—199
to 105. On this occasion sixty-four
republicans voted with the democrats
for the amendment.
The bill was then passed by an over
whelming majority—247 to 52. An
analysis of the vote shows that 124
republicans and 123 democrats voted
for the amended bill, and forty-two
republicans and ten democrats against
it.
To Send Bill to Conference.
WASHINGTON. April 19— In view
of the action of the senate last night
in making the Chinese exclusion sub
stitute an amendment to the pending
bill, it is expected that the action of
the senate will be disagreed to in or
der to send the bill to conference.
By this parliamentary procedure the
California members feel assured that
the ultimate measure of exclusion can
be no less than that in the senate bill
at least.

Henderson's Lips Sealed on Subsidy.
WASHINGTON, April 19.—In view
of published reports that Speaker
Henderson was opposed to the ship
subsidy bill, following the opposition
of the Iowa senators, it was stated
yesterday by those aware of the speak
er's views that he has expressed no
opinion and has reached no conclu
sion on the subject thus far, prefer
ring to wait until the committee in
charge of the measure has formulated
action and made public their views.
A Prophecy of 1834.
The Motor World reprints an inter
esting old plctnre. drawn In 1834. and
Intended as a more or less serious pic
torial prophecy of what would exist
100 years later. The sky is filled with
airships of various kinds, none of
them, apparently, as practical as that
of Santos-Duraont. On the roads auto
mobiles are flying in all directions,
some of the models being strikingly
like those of today. In one corner is
represented a man with a van on
which there is the sign, "Walk up!
Walk up! Rare exhibition to be seen
here! A live horse, supposed to be the
very last of the race!” Even the
houses, stores and public buildings
are on wheels.
Hasn’t Education Helped Them?
The records of the male students of
the colored high school of Richmond,
V’a., who were graduated in the ten
years. 18883-93. have now been added
by the Richmond Reformer to those
of the graduates of the preceding ten
years. There were seventy men in the
later period, eleven cf whom have died.
1’he others are found to tie in various
respectable occupations, doing credit
ably in the world. No criminals or
paupers among the entire lot are re
ported. In view of these facts, the
Reformer, an organ of the colored race,
pertinently asks if "education spoils
the negro?”
A PostniftHltT’s Discovery.
T.ancaster, N. Y., April 21st.—Mr.
John Remers, postmaster of this vil
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doctored
with local physicians as well as sev
eral specialists from Buffalo, but got
no better. Indeed he was gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors’ medi
cine and commenced a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and Is as strong and
well to-dav as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to noth
ing but Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and says:
"If I could only talk live minutes to
every one who has Diabetes I am sure
1 could convince them that they need
n’t suffer a moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in ev
ery drug store.
“I will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as I think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, the remedy
that saved my life.”

less—Cured by
Peruna.
MUS. ANNA B. Fr, EH ARTY, recent
Superintendent of the W. C. T. U.
headquarters, ut Galesburg, 111., was
for ten years oue of the loading women
there. Tier husband, when living, was
first President of ihe Nebraska Wesleyan
University, at Lincoln. Neb.
In a letter written from 401 Sixty-seventh
street, W.. Chicago, 111 , Mrs. 'Fleharty
says the following in regard to Peruna:
‘‘Having lived a very active life as wife
and working partner of a busy minister,
my health failed me a few years ago. 1
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually I seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is a continued
invalid, and we both felt great need of an
iuvigorator.
“One of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was Immediate
ly secured and a great change took
place In my daughter’s as well as In
my own health. Our appetites Im
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and restful sleep
soon Improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.
"I would not be without Peruna for
ten times Its cost." Mrs. Anna ti
Fleharty.
Wlmt used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic srgiins are the cause of most eases of
female disease.
Dr. Hartman was among the first of
America's great physicians to make this
dt-covery. For forty years lie lias been
• treating diseases peculiar to women, anil
long ago be reached the conclusion that
a woman entiroly free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not tie
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these ca-eH and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna lias now be
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply: it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
Dr. Hartman has probablv cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.
Mrs. E. L. Brown 838 Elliott street,
Memphis, Tenn., writes:
‘■I suffered for several years with head
ache brought on by nervous prostration.
1 was also afflicted with insomnia. 1 would
get up in the morning more weary than
when I retired and X used to dread the
approach of night. X’eruna came into my

short months I was like another woman.
I have now enjoyed perfect lieulth for over

Mrs. Esther M. Milner, lie Graff, Ohio,
writes:
"1 was a terrible sufferer from female
