They were passongois on the steamer New York. | Among other things brought out of , twelve big trunks by the inspectors , was a wedding trousseau bearing the names of famous Parisian makers. lioforo the departure of the Warrens , for Kuropo , gossip so Insistent that it , was given credence , had It that Miss Warren would marry James H.

Wood Snlnth In Palestine. . "Wood saints" are peculiarities of modern Palestine. They are describe * ! la a book of travel and exploration , "Tho Jordan Valley and Petra , " by Dr. Libbey and Dr. Hosklns. At El Abu- dlyeh , below tbe sea of Galilee , where the Jordan U fordable. tliey found their first good specimens of u "wood saint. " A couple of straggling trees mark tlie resting place of some holy Moslem. The grave has made the trees sacred , has given them a new name , "faklreh" Qoor ) , and has rendered Uieui safe from outrage for ages to come. Tbe grave of the holy man and the sacred trees convert the spot Into a sort of sanctuary or "safety deposit , " and Lore the superstitious people bring flre- wood , roof timbers , old doors and windows dews , agricultural Implements , wooden measures and household vessels for eafo keeping. They arc safer hero than the ; could possibly be under lock and key lu their wretched horoee. So It comes to pass that these Moslem "wood imlnts" are altogether an ex tremely useful fraternity.

As announced from Chicago cage , the linn of Oreer. Mills & Co. , at South Omaha , and the five other principal markets was consolidated on November 1 with the National Live Stock Commission company. The combined business In the future will bo conducted at all the markets under the style and corporate name of the National Llvo Stock Commission company. Please see that all stock Intended for cither firm or corporation Is con signed to the National Llvo Stock Com mission company In tbe future. As usual at this season of the year following general storms In most of the "rango" country , tbe supply of cat tle shows some Increase. The bulk of the receipts Is "lango" cattle and Include a larger percentage of cow mid common stock than at any other tlmo. Strictly choice fat cattle are scarce , and under a good demand , prices have advanced 10 to 20 ? compared with the close of last week. Other grades , In cluding butcher stock and the poorer erades of stockcrs and feeders , ruled weak at last week's lowest prices. Largely owing to the advance in the corn market , the demand for feeding cattle has fallen off somewhat , and with the exception of a little reaction the forepart of this week , the market for these grades Is about the lowest of the season. The quality of the cattle coming hero continues good , and wo now SUB- gest that any of our friends who have not secured their cattle send their or- 1 ders to us as soon as possible , as wo do not look for much further decline. Wo are prepared to give all branch es of the business the personal and prompt attention -necessary for the best results , and invite correspondence once on any subjects pertaining to live stock. At this writing , wo do not believe there are as many cattle on feed as usual In this territory , but wo think there will be , and do not see much to encourage the belief lu much perma nent Improvement , especially on the common to fair cattle , Including the "warmed-up" or short fed cattle. Prices at South Omaha on nearly all grades of cattle are still well In line with all other markets , but the "Na tional" Is fully equipped in all markets to promote and portect the Interests of all who will give them an opportu nlty. Hogs This market has not been very well supplied with hogs , and un der the usual demand , the market has been well sustained compared with other markets. The general tendency of the market Is still downward , prices reaching the lowest point of the sea son this week. A declining market during October and November Is not only usual , but natural , and with the provision market better adjusted tea a normal basis , the trade is settling down to a more healthy condition , and with a continued Improvement In the quality , the range In prices has nar rowed considerably. The advance In the corn and the "fear" of lower prices will have a ten dency to larger receipts of light and medium weight hogs , and until prices reach a point where the largo packers are willing to begin operations on a "winter" scale , wo advise operating with good margins and shipping as soon as shipments are ready , to the market offering the best results. The "National" will take the best care of all consignments In all markets In the hog , as well as the cuttle and sheep departments. The bulk of the hogs are selling hero now nt $4.SOtf ( 4 95. Watch the provision market and the llvci stock markets nearest you and lot us know whenever wo can render you any service. Sheep Receipts of sheep and lambs at this market were fairly liberal the first two days of this week , but show a decrease from a week ago. The bulk of the sheep coming from the west ern rangi'H me not fat eiiour.li for unit Ion , coimeinienily this branch of the trade Is only pelting a small percentage ago of the stuff necessary to tmtmly the demands , and the ptospecla are thai thin condition will prevail until shipments of fed Mioop commence coin- In K. K.l'nt yearlings are selling at prices ranging from $5.75(0/15.00 ( / ; wethers $5.05 ( 5.85 ; owes $1.90(0)5.25. ( ) Km lambs are also coming In very small numbers and will be scarcer In the near future , as only a very few of the lambs on feed are ready for mar ket , and fat western grass lambs have nearly all been marketed. Choice fal lambs are selling from $7.00(0)7.25 ( ) ; fair to good $ f.00j ( [ > 7.00. The demand for feeder sheep IH the strongest and prices are the highest of any tlmo this season ; yearlings sellIng - Ing from $5.40(0)5.05 ( ) ; wethers $5.00(0) ( ) 525 ; owes $ l.25 < n > 4.00 : breeding ewes past four years old showing good short teeth $ I.GO ( & > 4.85. No owes of younger agcH are coming , but the Inquiry for this class of stuff Is so urgent that they would readily sell around $5.25. Wo do not look for any decrease In the numbcrH of feeding sheep until after the middle of this month , but the demand Is so far In advance of the receipts that any change In prices will bo toward a higher level. Although the ulggcst proportion of the stuff coming to market Is feeding lambs , the demand continues strong .for all the best grades of lambs at prices fully as high as any time this season , those averaging bettor than CO Ibs. In weight selling from $0.25 © ' 0.50. Hut the lighter weight lambs are selling about 25 % lower , a good dcslrablo kind of lambs weighing around 55 Ibs. selling from $ G.OO(0'G.25 ( and good lambs weighing 50 to 55 Ibs. can bo bought at prices ranging from $5.5000.00. Nearly 50 % of the lambs now coming to market are of common quality and light In weight , and this clasH of stuff is fully BOtf per cwt. low er than a week ago and only a weak demand for them at these lower pric es , heavy cull lambs averaging from 45 to 50 Ibs. selling from $4.50(0)525 ( ) ; common lambs averaging from 40 to 15 Ibs. selling from $4.00(0)1.25.

" Crowd Tries to Tear Down Banner. New York. Nov. 1. A large crowd of men which had been inllamed by political speeches made at Franklin's monument in Park Row , attempted to tear down an Immense banner , bearing a red ( lag , having on It the name of W. R. Hearst , municipal owneishlp candidate for mayor. The crowd rushed to the city hall , shouting for Mayor McClellan. The mob swept in to the city hall , and , althcugh it did not find the mayor there , it had pos session of the steps and main corridor for fifteen minutes before a sufficient force of police arrived to disperse the gathering.

AT FIRST HE WAS A GOOD JOKE The Hearst Campaign for the New York Mayorallty Has Assumed Somewhat Enormous Proportions. Tammany Hall Concedes Strength. Now York , Oct. 20. The Hearst movement In Now York seems to bo assuming rather formidable proper tions. At first his candidacy for may or on the municipal ownership ticket was thought to bo a good joke and both Tammany and the Odell manag ers had hearty laughs about It. How ever , the laugh seems to be on the other side of the face , for It is con ceded that Hearst will cut a good deal of figure in the campaign. Tbe alarm which has taken posses sion of New York Is well voiced this morning by the Sun , which. In a leadIng - Ing editorial , double leaded , says : "Is it true that when the people are confronted with three Indifferent Is sues they can be trusted to take the worst ? Nothing but distrust of Mur phy and detestation of Odell makes It possible for Hearst to loom so largo. That he is to poll an enormous vote appears to be everywhere conceded , and especially in Tammany hall. "The corrupt and shameful bargain which Murphy made with Odell to keep Jerome's name off both the Tam many and republican tickets has brought its consequence with aston ishing promptness. It has already made Hearst a possibility ; It has given a national Importance to Jerome , whose campaign commands the friend ly and sympathetic Interest of the whole United States and It has precip itated a contest In which this town Is more deeply concerned than In any like that it has known before. "Aro we to have Hearst ? Have Odolllsm nnd Tammany hall engen dered a vast and universal nausea In this country ? "But wo must elect Mr , Jerome. That Is the thing that Is more serious than anything else. " Odelllsm may or may not mean the election of W. M. Ivlns as mayor. Some New Yorkers declare Odelllsm would be "provided for" oven through the re-election of McClellan , the Tam many candidate. Change In Meadow Grove Bank. W. I' .
