CATTLE Receipts were lnrge ngaln
tp'lny. following the big run of yesterday.
With the number of cattle received In the
two days so lnrge and with Chicago re
porting a weak market this morning. It
was to be expected that buyers at this
point would ask for some concession. True
to expectations, they sta'tcd out bidding
prices that were generally a little lower.
Sellers, however, hold on nnd the euro
market was very slow. Buyers evidently
wanted the cattle and a little later In the
morning the market gradually took on
more llfo nnd became quite nctlve, so that
the most of the cattle changed hands In a
short time after the trading was onco
under way. The market closed nctlve nnd
steady with yesterday. Considering the
receipts nnd nil other circumstances tho
cattle mnrket this week has been In very
good shape.
Cows and heifers were In good demand,
though buyers started out bidding lower.
in some cases probably they bought cnttle
lower but the mnrket closed up active and
steady on nil desirable kinds at least.
Thero was one bunch of heifers In tho
yurds good enough to bring $4. SO.
Thin stockers seemed to oe In good dc
mund nnd prlcos are ns high ns any time.
Warmed-up cattle also sell pretty well to
the feeders nnd prices hnve not shown
much chnnge this week. The verv good
prices at which stock heifers have been
selling has brought In cattle of that kind
from every direction, and the result Is
that they are selling: a little lower. Repre
sentative sales:

HOOS This market was so high yester
day ns compared with other markets Hint
buyers seemed to feel thnt tt ought to be
no higher today and they did not start out
bidding very briskly. Still the demand
ivas good, nnd though the receipts ivere
liberal they were none too large and the
trade after a little ll-ened up nnd was
quite nctlve nt prices that were about
steady with the. best time yesterday, or 5c
higher than yesterday's close The bogs
sold largely at $5,101(5.121,4, with a sprink
ling of the better loads nt ?5,15fiS.17'.j. and
a $3.22'a top. An early clearance was
effected, everything being; sold and weighed
up lontr before midday.
From the table of nveragc prices above
It will be noted that the hogs today sold
only 10c lower than tho close of last week
and a strong 5c lower than on Wednesday
of last week.
The situation as regards the hoc market
nt this point l rnther peculiar. There are
five big packers here and some of them nt
least are bullish In their views regarding
the future of tho market, so that they
are large buyers, While some of the
packers are bearish there Is such n nood
demand for meat products that they have
to have the bogs regardless of the price,
and the result Is that the demand l very
strong. Packers hnve been trying right
nlong to hear the market down, and hold
It down, but nt the same time thev want
the hogs. The result Is that for some time
this has been the high market 011 the
river, nnd almost up to Chicago on some
days. Yesterday the Inrgest drove of hogs
hought on the Kansas City market oust
9e less than the cheapest drove bought on
this market. As nn exnmple of the wny
hogs are selling nt the two markets If
might be added that yesterday half of the
hogs sold nt Kansns City under $5.05, nnd
that the big bulk of all the hogs sold at
$5.00f(5.05. On the other hnnd the big bulk
of all the hogs sold at South Omaha yes
terday was at $5.10i5.12'V Kansas City's
top yesterday was $5.15, and South
Omaha'!) $5.25. In other words .the South
Omaha market was 10c higher than Kan
sas city. Representative sales:

Ilellcs nf Civil War Converted Into
Ntnlup of "Our l.nily of I'enee,"
The romantic htstory of the two hujo
cannon that ornament the campus of St.
Mary's academy, Notre Dame, Ind., Is to
have a now chapter added. The ponderous
and rusty old guns that hive long slnco
served their usefulness as engines of death
are to he melted and east Into a colossal
statue of Our Lady of Peace. They have
been resting on grassy mounds In front of
the main building of the academy since they
were presented to the Sisters of the Holy
Cross In 1S62.
At the outbreak of tho civil war the can
non were among the artillery and ether
armament that fell Into the hand, of tbo
confederates, These two guns, which are
of the Tarrot type of ten-Inch caliber, were
placed In the defense of Fort Charles. They
were two of tho heaviest pieces of confed
erate ordnance and they were christened
with some ceremony In honor of Mrs, Jeffer
son Pavls and Mrs. James K. Polk. One
wns called "Lady Polk". and the other
Lidy Davis." In the summer of 1R62 Fort
Chnrlcs was attacked In force. Colonel
Fitch of Indiana leading the land forces nnd
Commodore Davis tho gunboat flotilla that
ascended the Whlto river under tho noses
of "Lady Davis" and "Lady Polk." Tho
commandant of Fort Charles was Colonel
Fry, who, with General W. A. C. Ryan, was
executed by tho Spaniards In Santiago de
Cuba at the end of the disastrous Vlrglnlus
filibustering expedition In 1873.
When the fort was dismantled the turret
guns, which Colonel Fry had aplked before
surrendering, were given to Mother Mary
Angela for the campus at St. .Mary's acad
emy. Mother Mary Angela was superioress
of the Order of the Holy Crres. She was a
first counln of James O. Blaine and was
born In the same house. Her other near
relative were the Shermans and Ewingi
of Ohio. Her family name was Oillcspie.
The exact proportions of the statue will
not be ascertained until tho guns have been
measured for their cubical contents of
metal. Tho statue will bo placed on a
mound commanding a view of the campus
and on the bluffs overlooking tho St. Jo
seph river, which winds along the academy
grounds.
AX ANOIISVr SLOT MACHI.F..

Snpiillen Wilier for n. 4;oln.
We hnve been caught by the slot machine
disease during tho last few years to so great
an extent that most persons tninK tnree
devices am onlv of tho most modern in
vention. Such, however. Is not the case, de
clares the Washington Pout, for twenty-two
centurlen ago the great mathematician and
mechanician of Greece, Hero, had perfectel
lot mnch no very much like those ot our
day which sprinkle cologne on your hand
kerchief nfter a penny has been put Into the
slot. Ho described hl device In a work cn
gases,
tl wan an urn which stood In the court or
one cf tho temples of Alexandria, and any
orshlper who dropprI a coin imo win m".
ould find a llttlo stream of water pouring
out to wash his hands. In a Latin transla
tion of this book of Hero's, printed In Italy
In 1r.7K am a n nmher of drawings ot mc
seventy-six different machines Invented by
the IngonlouP Hero, this touniain in oe-
scribed an follows' "ABCD U tho vase,
KOI IK a vessel Insldo or It nned witn water,
with the pipe L leading out at M. The
upright NX has a lever PO fastened

dot 11 falls nn R. and bv Its welsht lifts thn
cover S and tho water Hows out until tho

r!nrni to cover the end of the nine." Did
iho inventor of the modern nennv-ln-the-
plot machine know of Hero's fountain, or did
he really redlhcover the device for himseit?
Pehaps he will never tell.
