CATTI.P-There were no cattle of any
i-onseiiuenc on sale today, and as a result
the market Is in practically the same
notches as on Filduy. Taking Into con
sideration the time of the year the receipts
for they week are fairly good, aliotil 21,78
head brlnK received. They are Inrger than
thorn of the previous week by about 7,ro
head. The receipts for the same week last
year were 18.X44 head, which Is smaller than
the run for this wwk by about 3,3uo head.
There has not been a good supply of
choice beef steers op the market this week
as the most of the cattle coming have been
of rather Inferior quality, and this kind of
stock the packers have not been willing to
lake except as compelled to by necessity
und then only at a sacrifice. There have
been only a few scattering loads of good
choice beef cattle on the market at any
time this week. The market opened the
m'k with a ricllnA of uLmi 1 .
aitlo, while the common and medium kinds
Jropned front lotffiac. Prices have remained
teady through the week at this decline so
that the wck closes with good cholco beef
teers about 15c lower than last week and
medium and common kinds l'xti&c lower
There has been a moderate supply ' of
sows all the week. The market on cows
and heifers has been in about the same
.....JIiIm. mm ll,.t I, ...
v. .niiio. .Monday
, mw a decline of K4i l&c from Saturdays
L'lose. The medium and common kinds of
.-owe lost a lit tin more during the week
' and close the week with prices on that
.-laes of stuff lfxtilfio lower. Good choice
;'orn-fed cows, however, closed the week nt
prices mat were practically steady with
' tlie close of last week.
. The market at this point on stockers and
. feeders has been In good healthy condition
all this week, and close the week at prices
' 104315c higher than last week's close.
1 HOGS There - was ft moderate run of
, hogs this morning, 183 cars, about 8 "0
head, being retried in up 40 noon. There
' lias been a good-aised run this -eek it
' being the largest since the lar. week' of
July. The receipts for the week total 51 m
. iel. as against 30,172 the previous welk
Rut for all that the run thiu Week Is large
It ia still smaller thaa that for the same
seek last year, when i,boi head were 10
. jelved.
Trading on hoge opened rather slow this
morning and the market was Inclined to
Irag with prices generally lower than
eslerday. It was thought that as the trad
ng progressed things would pick up a
litle. but the expected failed to happen,
tad the market closed alow and weak to a
, il.-kal lower. The bulk of the sales today
were made In the neighborhood ot Iii k
U4.85. The top for the day was 14.90, wiilcn
' Is 2V(C lower than yesterday.
The market has been in talrly good con
dition all this week, but has been subject
to rather violent fluctuations. Thursday
the market was steady with last week's
.-lose, but the last two days of the week
taw a loss of about 8c. The market for the
, week on hogs closes with a loss of about
'41 from last week's close.

fHEEP '1 here were hardly enough sheep
on tne market this morning to inske a test
of the trade and what Utile there was In
sold at prices that were practically steady
with Friday's cloce.
There has been a moderate run of sheep
this week, about J.'i,77 head being received.
Tills Is practically the same as the re
ceipts for last wek. However, the run of
sheep for this week Is larger by about
10,04) head tnan the rerelpts for the same
week last yenr. The quality of the sheep
placed upon itie market hse not been very
good, there being but a comparatively few
Choice loads received.
There has been only a moderate supply
Of fat sheep, with a fairly good demand
from the packers. However, they were
looking for the better class of stock and
were laklnr the warmed up and snort fed
sheep, which constituted the larger por
tion of the offerings, anly at a sacrifice.
As a result there we., a stjmp In prices
On fat sheen rinrint ih. ,,l.l4i. . k -
I of from 2fe to 5"c from last Saturday's
ciose, out mis loss Was regained partially
toward the close, so that the market on
fat snecp closes the week with the medium
and common kinds selling mostly l.Va2c
lower than at the close of last week. At
the Mm time the strictly choice fat sheep
are selling readily at prices that are fully
steady with the close of last. week. There
have been a good many warmed up sheep
On the market this week and they have been
very hard to get rid of and oniy St a loss,
as packets are quite unwilling to take that
kind ot stock.
There hns been a reasonably good trade
in feeder sheen ; hmiiviin ih.
There lu been a moderate supply and a
dernnnd that has been Just about He equal.
A a result the trade in feeding sheep has
been fairly active and steady and the week
r oses wllh the feeder market in good
shape, with prices steudy with last week's
close. - . , I

OMAHA. Dec. . 19t.
OMAHA. Iee. . The wheat market was
purely a local affair, responding to changes
In attitude of local operators. Prices
firmed esrly on buying by yesterdays
close, and eased off toward the close on
realizing. The news of an Indifferent char
seter had but little effect upon the trend
of values. Manltobas mas reported In bet
ter demand at seaboard and thirty loads
were worked yesterday st New York.
Northwestern receipts were light. Cabl'S
were off fractionally in sympathy with the
decline here yesterday. Argentina advices
are of continued favorable progress.
CORN The December deliveries were
easy relative to the May. The May
displayed considerable firmness at times
with commission houses good buyers.
Loesl arrivals over-ran the estimate, but
large sales for shipment for this month
create a good demand for anything arriving
Unplaced. Liverpool closed 4c lower.
Oats were dull with professional selling

however. Receipts are light and the sit

In the provision market it is the cash
buyer that Is making provisions strong.
The demand for nearby deliveries continues
persistent. December lard today sold at
$7.75. The only product for aalo was for
May delivery. For this reason that month
has not advanced recently.
Broomhall cabled: "World's wheat ship

400,000 bushels, of which quar.jty Europe

I.ater there ' was some selling on forecast
of Inrge American shipments and prices
cased from 494d.".
Chicago reports say that it looks as
thotigh Patten was the buyer of corn this

A Chicago dispatch says that there Is
great Interest In December corn and that

or new corn Is held by three commission
houses.
Broomhall cabled that Argentina cable
says whetit harvesting- Is making good
progress. Wheat In later sown districts is
doing well. Corn prospects are more fa

CARL REITER'S OWN SORROWS
Genial Manager Doesn't Care Why
Smith Left Home, for He lias
Ills Own Trenblea.
If you should happen to see Carl Relter
rushing along the way this morning with
a preoccupied look on his face, don't ask
him to give an explanation. He'a too busy.
Just to how what can happen to a good
man. here Is a list of his present troubles:
Treasurer Byrne Is quarantined at home
on account of a sick baby; his assistant Is
laid up, the safe is locked, and Carl has
to take the money to a hotel for safe
keeping; the girls who played "The Queen's
Kan" came through from New Orleans,
and didn't .bring their scenery; Captain
llloom got In with his apparatus, but It
was shaken up so as to render perfect ad
justment in time for the show almost Im
possible; and, finally, the contractor who
has been getting out the program for the
Orpheum went back on his Job. and 4he
houne wa without programs yesterday.
Such a business.

Why Smith Left Ham" at the Bar.
waed.
Grorge H. Bnmdliurst Wrote "Why
Smith Left Home" to be funny, and It
succeeds with a vengeance In the hands
of the Woodward Stock company. The
farce was received rapturously by two
of the usual large Sunday audiences, and
besides giving nearly every person In the
company a chance to make a hit, per
mitted several successes of respectable
proportions to be achieved by actors who
have not heretofore had the opportunity
so to do at the But-wood. In the comedy
the one of the characters that gets a
straight, clear field with the greatest
possibilities la thM of the cook. In the
hands of Mlsa Oirrie Clark Ward It was
worked like a new South African diamond
mine. This war. Miss Wsrd e first work
on the Burwoo'l atage, and from the time
she came on a.ie made good. Her broaue.
her acting a'td her make-up were rich J
and ludlcrour and she earned big sheafs
of applause.
For the first time Miss Matle Hudson
waa allot', a part that permitted some
thing approaching range and ehc demon
strated nj little ability as a character
actress. Her old maid waa excellently
done, and without groping too far she ex
tracted a whole lot of humor out of the
role.
Mlr.s Lang waa dainty and attractive ae
Mrs. Smith. In the personation, of Smith,
the man with the griefs, Mr. Morrison
again showed his marked ability in light
comedy, executing scene after scene In a
way that deserves nothing but praise. Mr.
Owen's funmaking seemed all the more
pronounced by way of a departure from
his classic creation of Richelieu the week
before. He haa a lot to do and does It
very well. Mr. Schoflld Is a very funny
German. As Robert Walton Mr. Simpson
Is thoroughly at ease and gets the best
out of the role. Miss Hill Is a remark
ably forbidding and terrifying aunt. Mlsa
Davis haa a maid. part which she plays
demurely and with Individualism and a
touch of wickedness. The twist of the
mouth In Mr. Fulton's make-up Is a
work of art. Miss Mb. ion Bnowden, an
Omaha girl, r.iade her first appearance on
this -laae and made a hit ae Rose
Walton.
The production la put on with the cus
tomary sumptuous scenery and attention
to detail.
Vandevllle at the Crelarhtoa-Orpheam.
For genuine artistic merit, nothing haa
been offered on the Orpheum stage In a
long time that equals "The Queen's Fan."
In this three daintily sketched Watteau
figures, j two maids and a page, come to life,
and for a few moments live and move and
sing their sentiments. The maidens show
1 their femininity by falling In love with the
page, and he shows his Immature mascu
linity by undertaking to make love to both
of them, with the result that he pacifies
neither. The music Is quite as quaint and
delicious as the picture, and as each of
the three young women who enact the
roles haa a sweet and well trained voice,
the whole Is made delightful. The sketch
ends with each being restored to the pic
ture and becoming merely a sketch on a
fan. It was very well received yesterday
afternoon and ought to be a tremendous
hit during the week. 1
Fred Lennox Is glveh the headline honors,
In a sketch by George Ado, but doesn't
deKerve It. The sketch Is on of Ade'a
Inimitable conversations In alang, and
' properly handled would be a success, but
Mr. Lennox doesn't .seem to be able to
give It the sincerity of life and makes
the further mistake of addressing his re
marks to the audience when he la supposed
to be talking to e woman on the stage. I
T I 1 J . , . V ' . . . . I
i wuuiu vmy -try Doing natural, ana
give over trying to be dramatic, he would
achieve much better reaults. Captain
Bloom's demonstration of wireless teleg
raphy Is quite Interesting as far as It goes,
but the captain could eaajly add to Its
Interest by increasing his apparatus so as
to show a spark, such as Is used in prac
tice, and by explalnfng a little more ex
plicitly the theory of the electric Impulse.
Hla remarks on this 'topic are a trifle too
vague and do not convey to the listener
any very definite notion of what he is
driving at.
The Plrlscoffis are from Paris, and Justify
their Importation by the wonderful way
In which they Juggle kitchen ware. Three
men and two women toss plates, cups and
saucers, knives and fork.i, pots, pans,
brooms, dusters, edibles', and all sorts of
things about in a most dextrous manner.
It Is such a mingled stunt as to defy de
scription, but Is well worth seeinr. The
Wartenbiitg brothers do a novelty turn
In the way of Juggling with their feet, and
wind up with a rush that gets them much I
applause. Vlnle Dewltt sings reasonably
well, and plays the cornet snlendldly. '
She rendered one of Jules Levy's fan.ous j
iolos yesterday In a most masterly msnnor.
Simmons and Harris are on the bill as I
comedians. The kinodrome has several new I
pictures, among them soma views of the 1
peace conference at Portsmouth, that are
very Interesting.
"Ia Old Kcataeky" at the Krnn.
It doesn't seem to grow old. this piece c'
Dnaey's. It would be hard to find any one
who doesn't know It backward, and vf i.
presence Is always tnire to fill the theater. ,
anout 11 an indefinable something
that brings It support. It may be the sim
ple, unaffected way in which It tells a story
that has no bad" taste In It anywhere; I'
may be the realistic touches of the horse
race and the pickaninny performance, or It
may be any one of several of Its distinctive
features, or It may be all of them together.
Whatever It Is. It has a hold on the public,
and Is still bringing a golden stream Into
the coffers of Its owners. Twice yesterday
a many people as the Krug theater would
hold watched Madge Brierly swing across
the chasm and hurl the bomb over the cliff
Just In tltno to aave Frank Iiyson's life;
then they saw her come ready to ride the
rsce that was to save his fume and fortune
sacrificing her chance of wedding lilpj In
order that she might do this one good turn,
and finally saw her made happy. They saw
I-em Lindsay brought to Justice, and they
saw Colonel Doollttlo crown his long wait
with the bliss of realization, am they a!HO
eaw a lively bunch of young darkies Jo
some fancy buck and wing dancing, with
all aorta of fiourlshta. All of this they had
seen before, many's the time, but they ap
plauded It and would liked to have had
more. Marlon Shirley, mho Is the Madge
Brierly of the present east, la a pretty
Utile woman with a good idea of what Is
required of her, and Harry Bradley makes a
good Colonel Sanduakey Doollttle. The rest
of the company are fairly good. "In Old
Kentucky" remains till after Wednesday
night, with a maltnee on Wednesday. On
Wednesday night a dancing contest will be
held on the stage between the company dan
cers and Omaha talent.

PECULIAR ROBBERY REPORTED
Hotel finest Called te the Door af
Ills Room and Held I for
Valaables.
A uniquo robbery was commuted late
last Saturday night In an Omaha hotel.
Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, as
nearly aa the partlea concerned could tell,
a man knocked on the door of a room
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. M. Fireside of
Cincinnati, O. Mr. Fireside asked the
person what was wanted and he replied
that he had a telegram for him. As soon
as the door was opened the robber thrust
a revolver Into his face and ordered him '
to put up his hands. The man then en
tered the room and warned the occu
pants both to keep quiet. He rummaged
through their grips and the drawers of the
commodes and took several trinkets of
small value and with them $9 In c-hunge
which Mr. Fireside happened to have In
his pockets. After he had finished his
search he took their key and. after order
ing them not to try to get out or make
a noise, lie went out and locked them in.
After waiting a long time, until nearly
3 o'clock, Mr. Fireside pushed the button
and called the hotel service to his aid.
Nothing waa seen ot the man, who might
have been in and out easily, aa there w:i
nothing about him to attract attention.
He was well dressed and probably went in
as one of the guests. Mr. Fireside Is a
traveling salesman and one ot the tegu
lar customers of ths hotel.
Severely Slashed with Rasur.
Larry Regan was cut with a rsxor in
the hands of a white man at Mrs. Burke's
saloon at Tenth and Davenport streeta

twenty stitches to close the cut. which
passed through his lips. He was taken to
the Clarkson hospital In a serious condition.
His assailant escaped through the railroad
yards. Regan is a grader in mmo of the

who for beauty and intelligence will com
pare favorably with any child that can
be found of her age. She Is the only
daughter of Mrs. May Goldman, Lbs
Angeles, who is the only daughter ot
Mrs.- Harriet E. Wolfe, San Diego, Cel..
who was the only daughter ot N. J. and
Mary Seaman of Iowa, the respected and
Christian parents of A. J. Seaman, Earl
Wolfe, a druggist of San Diego oelng the
son of his sister and nephew to A. J.
Seaman. A. J. Seaman teachea economy
and he practices what he preaches. While
we think he goss to an extreme, we be
lieve he doea so from principle. Having
