Memorial hospital, following an operation performed late Wednesday evening as a last expedient to save his life. Mr. Hill had been 111 but a few days and the news of his' death came as a shock to the com munity In which he had been prominent for many years.

During the after noon M. Hill was removed from his home on Third avenue to the hospital and the operation decided upon. The operation dis closed the fact that Mr. Hill's trouble was due to a cancerous growth of the Intes tines which precluded any possibility of recovery.

HURRY IIP BILL IS PASSED Bonis Eaji Lira 8tcoi If art Bs Ifored at the Kate of Eighteen Miles Per Hour. BRYAN SPIKES SOME DEMOCRATIC PLANS Declaration for Party Declaration on Primary Election "noils Scheme of the Politicians to Play False on Primary Bill. (From a Staff Correspondent.) '. DES MOINES, Feb. 14-KGpeclal.) After a spirited debate today the house passed the substitute for the Doran bill, fixing a minimum . speed to the running of live stock trains. The vote was 9S for the bill nnd S against. The only opposition to the measure was on" the ground that It affected chiefly. If not entirely. Interstate commerce, which It Is claimed makes the bill Illegal. This Idea was expressed on the floor by Weeks of Guthrie and In the explanation of his rote by Jones of Mont gomery. The bill provides a penalty with damages If a railroad moves a train In which there 4s live' stock and which Is made up of .twenty cars or less at less thrtn twelve miles an hour and In larger trains If moved at less than eighteen miles sn hour the provision being that on branch lines the slower time can be made, but on the main lines the fast time must be made. It was claimed by Weeks that onlv 64 per cent of the live stock ship ments originate and terminate within the state of Iowa. Doran claimed that the bill did not require anything that was not done voluntarily by the railroads prior to 1903. and answered the argument of Attorney J. C. Davis of the Northwestern, who claimed It Is a physical Impossibility to move trains as fast as required by the bill by exhibiting the time card of the Northwestern and showing that other trains carrying dead freight move as fast as twenty-one miles an hour. ' Teaching; Aarlcnlture In Schools Paul of Jones county introduced a bill today that 1 provides a way In which agri culture can be taught In the rural schools.

YORK Directors of the Commercial club at their last session had under considers, tlon a proposition made by a windmill manufacturer to organise a stock com pany at York. The manufacturer claims that his windmill can be manufactured at less cost and placed on the market at less expense than most first-class mills. The Commercial club has a proposition to or ganize a company here with a capital of $l2.(nfl. of which $4.(M)'!s to be subscribed by citizens of York. Nearly all of those wlio have Interested themselves In look. Ing up the proposition are well pleased with It. BLOOM FIELD The Bloomfleld public li brary Is now open to the public.

WEDNESDAY'S BUYERS TURN SELLERS ' nnmMsmaBB Expected Increase In Dividends en tlarrintaae Docs "et Come ss This Adds to the Weakness. vrir vrmv vs.K 11 VsatsrdAv'S Prom- nf rl.ln. nrlx.a tnr alnrkl 111 nOt held todsy and the failure of the effort to lift prices was followed by a reaction. News had little to do, apparently, with the action uf the market. The decisive Influence wss the perception that the Improved demand Incited by yesterday's encouraginf action of the market was being tsken advantage ot to realize on the part of the purchasers of yesterday. The professional traders ac cepted this as an Indication that yester day's operations were designed fos a short turn on the market. When this realising was noticed they offered prices down, witn the ready adaptability of that class to the must MrAllnHI movement of DrlceS. The early buying, which helped to Improve the early realizing, Was due to buying for short accounts. The action of tne coppers w particularly disappointing to the speculative element, as hopes had been formed of a boom In that section of ths market In re sponse to the conditions In the metal mar ket. Anaconda gave quick evidence oi pressure to realize and Amalgamated Cop per also was clearly under pressure. One prospect of a leadership In the speculation which hnri hMn rnwi nnnn to continue the advance was thus lost. The Harrlman divi dend meetings were also Iscklng In specu lative material, being confined to the regu lar dividend . declaration on Union Paciflo and Southern Pacific. Assertions for some time rast that the Southern Pacific divi dend was to be raised have received no authoritative countenance. . But there waa evidently a remnant of speculative hope mat the meetings might offer some aucn electrifying consequences as followed the last dividend meeting last August, when the Union Pacific dividend was Jumped from a to 10 per cent basis. The prosaic termination nf tndsv'a meetlnn bv contrast was followed by considerable selling of stocks an through the list. Wall street has made much maraetwise for many days now of a supposition that tne attitude or tne Washington aaminiv tratlon towards combinations of capital was to undergo a revision. Visits to the White House of capitalists active and con spicuous in tne financial world nave given rise to these conjectures of a treaty. To day there was rather a notable occurrence In the subBtance of several news dispatches rrom Washington on this subject wnicn pointed to information from first hand sources and which rather belled the as sumption of a change In the administra tion's attitude. Some effect was produced on speculative sentiment by the revision tnus forced oi an impression Duut upon unsubstantial rumors. Money worked easier at first, both for call and time loans, and no effect was apparent from the prepa ration for the return tomorrow of $6,000,000 of government deposits which had been set for that date until near the end of the day, when the rate touched 6 per cent. The conviction was held In some quarters that the withdrawal of this money would be postponed, but no official announcement from Washington appeared as ths basis for tho assumption. Another $5,000,000 note Is sue, this time by an industrial corporation, the Lackawanna Steel company, caused some recurrence of the unfavorable Impres sion due to these Issues. The shorts caused a brief rally when they covered to take pro tits, but the closing tone was weak. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, tf.fiMM'O.
