4,000 head. Other market points were very
moderately supplied,, the total number
of cattltfon salo at the big market points
being- small,. So far, ap supply was con
cerned conditions 'lo6ked favorable for a
strong markets but: the' demand was lack
ing not only hero but at most other points
JBeet, steers were lacking In snap and
the market horo was slow to as much as
,10c. lower. Hero and there salesmen who
M-happened to have something that buyers
fetemed tb' Especially want thought that
tnoy pinched out steady prices. On .the
other hand buyers were genorally bidding
lower and they succeeded In buying a
good many cattle that way.
Cows and heifers Were In very light
supply and as there was a fair demand
the market on that class of stock was
reasonably active and prices fully steady
with yesterday. Among the offerings

HOGS bUDPKra were Verv liberal arnln
today, something like 212 cars, or 14,800
head, being reported In. In addition to
this were l.KJO head that were utrrlod
over from AVednesday, For the week to
tiate the receipts foot up 61,931. a gain of
more than 11.000 over a week ago, but
juai auoui i, smaller man tor the cor
responding days last year
AdMces from other points were dis
rouraclng again this morning, and with
tuch a liberal supply local buyers saw a
chance to force a still further decline,
and started ot't bidding prices that were
around 10c lower than yesterday's pucker
market.
Trade dragged along during the early
hours, with Just a few selling, and these
around 100 lower. Abdut It o'clock values
showed jusl the slightest shade of
strength, and sellers made another effort
to boost them buck toward yesterday's
level, but buyers refused to come any
farther and In tho end tho bulk of tho
offerings moved at prices that were
largely a dlmo lower than yesterday's
general trade. Ught hogs, when com
pared with AVeJnesday's early morning
shipper market, show n very largo slump,
but they do not look to le any moro than
a dime lower than tho late killer trade.
Trnde was not very lively at any time,
but tho liberal supply was practically
cleaned up by noon. Trado could not bo
quoted as nnv stronger on tho close, but
was fairly n'ctlvo and prices were firm
with the opening.
Hulk of the sales was made nt S3-20&3.40
with a top of $8.45.

SHEEP The llttlo improvement of the
last few days brought In a liberal supply
for a Thursday, as tho rocelpta footed
up about 13,000 head, which Is 6.330 moro
than a week ngo, 5,697 more than two
weeks ago and 5,326 more than a year
ago. Prices wero generally steady on
good lambs, but weak to a shade tower
on the loss desirable kinds. Anything In
the line or aged sheen was also steady.
there being not many owes, wethers and
yearlings here, though tho supply was
very fa r comixiroi with the previous
days of the week. Quality In general
varied little If any from yesterday. The
pacKcrs were out in good season in me
morning and lost no tlmo In getting
what they wanted, making a fairly lively
market most of the time, but toward tho
closo some of the In-between grades of
lambs moved rather slowly, consequently
uie ciearanco was late.
Tho bulk of tho lambs sold practically
In the same notches as tho day before,
tho range of prices being $7.007.60, with
fower" Iambs selling near the top ,of the
range. Tho high nrlco of the day was
$7.60 and several loads of wheatfleld
grades from Idaho sold around $7.35.
Ewes sold principally at $5.0006.15 and
yearlings around $6.00i;6.15.
The moderate recelnts on Monday. Tues
day and AVednesday and tho liberal sup.
piy touny maKcs only a moderate supply
thus far for the week, and tho effect has
been a little advance in prices compared
with the closo of last Week; lambs show
ing .in improvement of about 10?2Sc and
aged sheep 1015c Tho general trade is
not strong at current prices and traders
still tellevo that continued moderate re
ceipts are necessary for satisfactory
markets.

JUDGE SMITHJN THE WRECK
Jurist Returns from Minnesota rind
Tells of Experience on Train.
ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURIES
AVIth Others, Thlnlr t'lnil, AVnlkrd
Sontr Iltaur Thronuli the Snoy
to (ict Aboard of the lie- '
lief Train.
JudRo Smith of the United States cir
cuit couit of appeals was in the rail,
road wreck at Ulfrelow, Minn., early
Monday morning on the Omaha road.
He was In his berth In ono ot tho sleep
ers when the car left the track t'tul
rolled down a 30-foot embankment. He
escaped with a few minor bruises.
Judge Smith left his homo here Sun
day night to go to SU Paul to attend
court thero and was sound asleep when
the crash came. He Is not quite sum
at Just what point he was awakened,
whether It was when tho car was on Its
side, top or bottom, hut an Instant after
the commotion ceased ho reullted that
tho only means of egress was through
a smashed window. Clad only In his
night clothes he crawled out of the warm
car Into a temperature in tho neighbor
hood of zero and put his bare feet Into
snow that was crisp enough to crunch
under his weight. AVhen he realised that
lie escaped Injury, but was liable to have
some damage dono If he attempted to
walk barefoot over the frozen snow to
tho nearest point of shelter, he bur
rowed Into the hole from which he had
emerged and got hold of n pair of rub
bers which ho had left In his berth. He
was unable, however, to reach all of Ills
clothing and with the rubbers to pro
tect his feet he walked to the ono coach
that was loft standing on tho track. This
coach was crowded with tho passengers
who had climbed out of tho overturned
coaches and sleepers and they remained
there until the relief train nrrlvcd from
St. Paul. It could not approach nearer
than half a mile of the rear end of the
wreck and tho passengers had to walk
that distance through the snow. In the
meantime trainmen and others had
searched for and found nit ot Judge
Smith's wearing apparel except his
shoes.
Judge Smith completed his work on the
bench at St. Paul and returned homo
yesterday morning, no worse for the
oxpcrlenco. He was rather stiff and
lame yesterday, but Bpent the entire day
at his offlco In tho federal building.

Republican lenders are well satisfied
with tho outcome of (ho special election
In the Second Iowa district. Tho elec
tion of A'ollmer, tlio democratic candidate,
was practically ccrtnln nt first. But tho
Wilson voto of a year nnd a half ago was
reduced from 49,000 to 12,000. Tho bull-
mooso party voto was cut from 13.000 to
a llttlo more than 1,000. The ropubllcons
nlono made a gain, and secured over 10,000
votes, against but 8,0(0 for Tntt. The
surprise of tho day was tho very light
voto for tho bullmoosn party candidates,
as they had confidently clnlined tho elec
tion of their man nnd made a wonderfully
hard fight, bringing In eastern leaders to
manago tho affair. The defection among
democrats was partly accounted for by the
fact that A'ollmer has always been hllter
toward Brynn and quite recently criti
cised tho Wilson administration nnd his
predecessor In congress. Mr. Pepper; but
ho waa saved alono by the voto of the
liquor elements In the large ctlle of the
district.
Nimt Girls' Dormitory.
Tho Stato Board of Education Is In ses-
slon at Ames today. Plana will bo adopted
ui a imw uormiiory tor the girls, lo bo
erected this year. The board has $HS,000
for this purpose by an appropriation. The
capacity ot Morgarct hall nnd annox Is
Insufficient for tho purposes. A dormitory
Is to bo erected that will accommodate
perhaps IM students and which will bo
creclod so as to muko It neir-sustalnlng.
An Interesting question In connection with
It Is that of tho Inclusion of a swim
ming pool. The secretary ot the board has
been scouring Information on this subject
rrom othor colleges, and finds that while
thoro Is much objection to awmmlng pools
because of not being sanitary, yet with
enro, they can bo mado reasonably safe.
Icmtr Ilxprrss It n tea.
The general officers of the various
express companies are coming to Des
Aioinos next week for a conference with
tho members of the Iowa railrond rnm-
mlsslon relatlvo to express rates In this
stato. Tho commission has caused to be
mado an cxjjaustlvo Investigation Into
tho relation between tho now Interstnto
rates and those In forco In Iowa under
an order of the commission. It Is found
that an to the rates mado for Interstate
traffic In what the Interstate Commerce
commission has dlslKnatcd ns xono 3,
which Includes most of the Mississippi
valley and westward to the mountains,
tneir auoption in Iowa would mean a
very material raise In the Iowa Intra
state rates, bo would the rates In Zone
2, which Is tho Chicago xone. But If
tho rates for xone 1, which is centered
In New York, were adopted, then thero
would bo more reductions In Iowa than
raises. Tho conference is to son if
plan can bo adopted for applying the
Interstate rates In Iowa without m.
tcrlal Increase of the local rates.

attorneys for confusing and unneces
sary Instructions to the Juries, Tho de
fendanthad shot a man, Inflicting a,
bad wound, Tlio lower court waa critl
c!ed for not lntructlng the Jury aa to
degrees of assault below that ot Inflict
ing great bodily injury. The supreme
court said this refusal was right. "The
Jury ought not to be allowed to specu
late upon a supposed state of facts, ot
which thero Is no evidence, In order that
they may reduce a serious crime to a
trifling misdemeanor," said tho supreme
court. "To say that a man may use a
deadly weapon and Inflict a wodnd such
as that described In this case, lujdor
the circumstances here shown, and that
ho may bo convicted of simple assault
or assault and battery, would bo to make
n mockery of tho penal statute and of
the enforcement of the law.'
