CHICAOO , May 7. DnHnccs was the fea
ture In all markets today. Wheat , under nil
sorts of bearish news , Including lower cables ,
bearish crop reports and an Increase In
pastHne , declined steadily from start to
finish nnd rioted with July lo lower lhan
on Saturday. Corn closed V4c lower ; oatu
,4 off nnd provisions slightly lower for pork
and ribs , with lard unchanged.
In wheat the opening trades showed Uc lo
* jc decline and gradually sold down % o to
Tie more , milled Uc , declined Vic nnd closed
OH stated. With hut few exceptions the
news , was bearish. Outside markets were
weak , New York especially had many selling
orders In the market. July finished but Ho
from the bottom figures of the day.
In corn there was very little animation ,
with the trndf : practically nil local and Hue-
' tuatlons confined within % c limits. The
easier tendency of wheat nnd the favorable
weathpr seemed to create a bearish senti
ment , but the selling was not large. The
closing prices were near the bottom.
In oats there was n fair trade and n
weaker fooling , the offerings being ample for
the present requirements of shorts , and
prices , nftcr opening steady , receded V4c for
Mny nnd June nnd closed easy at nbout the
Inside figures.
Provisions were fairly steady , but very
dull , with scarcely any trading , the pit being
almost deserted. It was claimed by some of
tlc , oldest operators to bo one of the slowest
days on record. Compared with Saturday ,
July pork Is 2V c lower , July lard unchanged
and .Inly ribs Cc lower.
Hstlmnlcd receipts for tomorrow : wheat ,
85 cars ; corn , 275 cars ; oats , 213 cars ; hogs ,

The Evening I'ost snys : The business
done on the Stock exchange was of the most
narrowly professional clmrncter. This being
the case , Sugar certificates were , of course ,
the central point of Interest. Its particular
feature today lay In the continued efforts
of the professional operators for the decline
to force a break. The unknown factor In
this Interesting speculative struggle Is Iho
nmounl of Sugar stock which has gone Into
"Inside" hands to hold. Vor nu exception
Washington contributed little or nothing to
the "rumor" of the day. For the moment
the situation on the New York exchange Is
of far moro Interesting character than
"senate conferences. "

MONDAY , Mny 7.
The week oponsjout wlth a very moderate
run of stock , There were about 1,000 more
cattle nnd 1,000 fewer hogs than were hereon
on last Monday.
Business was tolerably active In the cattle
yards. Of the 122 cars received fully 100
wcro fat steers , most of them on the medium
nnd heavy order. The general market was
n good deal like that of Saturday nnd the
spread between values of light and heavy
catlla appears to be rnpldly dlsappcnrlng ,
Dressed beef men all wanted the good , light
killers , nnd , ns the supply of these was com-
parntlvcly small prices ruled steady to
stronger. On account ot dull markets cast
neither shippers nor exporters showed any
great desire for the heavier grades nnd they
wore slow sale nt shaded prices. The light
cattle all sold early , but dealers were poundIng -
Ing around on the heavier grades nbout nil
day nnd nt the close there were still some
unsold.
There wns only n handful of cows here ,
nbout half n dozen loads , hardly enough to
afford n fair test of the market. Oood , fat
hclfefs and cows sold readily nt pretty stiff
figures , but trade was slow on the under
grades nnd prices generally rather weak.
Calves wcro In tolerable demand nt low
prices and the market for rough stock was
unchanged.
Stockers and feeders were In pretty liberal
supply , thcro being a good showing of both
fresh and stale cattle. The demand from the
country was not very lively and the feeling
on all sides was rather easier , although
prices wcro not ( luotably lower. The volume
of trading wns small. Good to choice feeders
nro quoted nt $3.25(33.85 ( ; fair to good , $3.00
< fj:3.25 : , nnd lighter , commoner grades at from
$3 down. Representatives sales :

HOGS The market was dull , lower , and
decidedly unsatisfactory. Receipts were too
light to be of Interest to the buyers for local
houses , there was no shipping or speculative
demand to speak of , and reports from the
east 'were generally unfavorable. In gen
eral , the market was a nickel lower than
Saturday , nnd the trade was slow and drag
ging throughout. There was not much of a
range of prices. The best brought $ G nnd
there was little of any consequence , how
ever common , that had to go at under $4.95.
A bunch of 172-lb. pigs brought $4.80 , nnd
a couple of loads of common light mixed
stuff sold for $4.00 and $4.92 . The close
was weak at the decline , but nbout every
thing finally changed hands. The big bulk
of the trading was at $4.95 nnd $5 , as
against $5 Saturday and a week ago today.

TliroilKli the Court of Aipi-ulH |
The celebrated casa of John I1. llelfeiiBteln
and otliers ngaltiBt Abraham L. Heed and
others , which Involves mncli valiiablo pro
perty In Hccd'iJ fourth addition to the city
of Omaha , came bcforo tlm United Stales
court of appeals In St. Paul yesterday. The
case was presented by Upton McYonnjs of
St. Louis and OeorRO W. Covell of Omalia ,
appearing for the , IIulfen teln lielrs , while
William O. Deckel and H. S. Hall of Omaha
appeared for the Heed holra. O. W. Covell
presented the cano ami made tlio argument.
Tlio question Involved was , ailmlttliiK that
llelfenstuln hml been the undliiputed owner
of ono-lialf of the property In question , had
ho by limitations and latches lost
Ills right to tlio property ? This now uwnlts
the decision of tlio court. It Is expcoleil
that the decision In the matter will bo
handed down within a week or ten days.
This suit was brought some years ago by
John P. Ilelfenstolti of St. Louis , who filed
a petition In tlio federal court , alleging that
ho was the owner of all of that portion of
land In tills city bounded by Nicholas.Htrcet

the brltiRlDR of the suit. About the tlino
of tlit- calling of the case for trl.il Iloircn-

DR. BIOE'TliEOTUttE. '
llo IHsciiMCK mid ComiurM Methods of
. .School Tt'iielilnp ; .
Some 300 of the Omalia teachers gathered
at the High dchool building yesterday after
noon to hear Dr. J. M. Hire discuss the
comparison between the aermnu nnd the
American methods of Instruction , more espe
cially that branch pertaining to recitations.
Kccllntlonn the doctor classified as scien
tific and unscientific In America the latter
obtained ; In Oerin.iny Iho former. With the
text book for n guldo thu American teacher
too often heard n lesson rather than gave II ;
lee much text book nnd too llttlo deduction
of facts from his elemrntal knowledge of
things was what the present American youth
was suffering from. The scletitlllc method
pursued by the Germans WAS acijnlrcd only
by patience and study ; It possessed three In-
dlspenslblo elements of success , namely , lilm ,
development nnd drill. Many lessons given
by teachers In this country possessed one or
two , but rarely were the three
found united. To Illustrate his point ,
the lecturer gave a verbatim report of n
series of lessons In mathematical geography.
The pupils as well ns the teachers were
aware of the nlm of these lessons. Klrst
came a review of some previously acquired
knowledge necessary to progress on the
desired line ; Ihen qiiesllon nnd answer by
teacher and pupils , nil tlio questions tending
toward an advancement of Information on
the subject ; Information leculved rather
from the thought power within the pupil
than front nny statement mndo by the
tt-anher. Tims from one lesson to another ,
the nlm always In view , was developed ono
branch of u dlllk-nlt subject ; the lesson hav
ing reached this stngo , n drill or recapitu
lation of the necessary nnd salient points
was glwn nnd each pupil wrote down the
facts acquired In a book , which ho could
refer to , no text book being used.
Hcplylng to questions , the speaker stated
that the averngo age of the pupils In Iho
class wns 12 years ; that the recital Ion oc
cupied forty-live minutes : that a recess of
as many minutes followed ; then n shorter
lesson , followed also by recess , nnd so on ,
making only three recitations In a morning
and each recitation followed by a reiess. :
The superiority of the ( termnii methods
of Instruction the speaker ascribed In a
measure to the preparatory training , which
required a course of eight years In a pub
lic school , three years In a normal school
and two years of practice In teaching under
trained Instructors before a license lo teach
was granted. Concluding , the doctor de
clared that lie had no Idea of decrying Amer
ican schools , for ho found In them many
admirable and unexcelled qualities - the
spirit of sympathy , \vlvlch ho failed to see
In German schools , being quiteconspicu
ous. The language work , also , was better ,
and It was only In the hope that a reform In
the way of teaching BOIIIO subjects would
bring about a relative excellence to the Ger
man schools that the comparisons were
made.
the brief lecture being over , Mr. KHz-
Patrick thanked the teachers for their at
tention and made a very telling addenda to
the matter of the lecture , to-wlt : That
any suggestion of Improvement , to be valu
able , must be assimilated In such a way
that It would bear fruit , even If It be on
lines totally unlike those Intended.
The lecture created n good deal of com
ment among the teachers , ami was consid
ered valuable , ns It awakened thought and
provoked discussion on the "vl'nl ' subject of
ways and menus.

"Tho situation In the Ashland district , un

Imperative that every Journal which has the
good of the party at heart , which cherishes
the honor of Its state and which appreciates
Its obligation to society , shall protest with

fulness has not hern destroyed by Hie miser
able Feandnl which has darkened his name
the party cannot afford to accept his services
nt the price It would bo forced to pay. It U
Idle to attempt to obicurc the Issue with
sophistical distinction between Colonel
Uri'cklnrldge's public nnd private life. Tim
ease has gone far beyond the possibility of
that. The question simply Is , do the pcoplu
of Kentucky propose to send us a representa
tive 'o ' congress the man whom Cclunel
DrrrklnrldKi' confessed himself to be li : his
testimony before n Washington jury ? Ita \
a < | Upstlon which transcends the limits of

It 1st a question In which the people of the
cntlro nation are deeply Interested. That
part oC his speech de'voted to the scandal In
which ho has figured were better passed
over In pity. It Is a strange exhibition of
marvelous effrontery , wretched taste nnd
mentally and morally oblique casuistry. "
