CATTLE Receipts of cattle were the
smallest this morning that they have been
for a long tlmo on a Monday, but no
smaller than was to bo expected, consider
ing, tho severity of the storm on Sunday
and Sunday night, and tho wide extent of
territory It covered.
With only 106 cars of cattle all told re
ported In the yards, It la hardly necessary
to add that tho offerings of beef steers
were very meager. At the same tlmo
buyers seemed to havo quite sizable
orders, with the result that the general
market was generally lOo higher and
active at tho advance. Ab a matter of
fact, some salesmen wero quoting values
as a little stronger even than that. The
average quality of the cattle was not
very good, but there were steers here
good enough to bring $8.65.
cows and heifers experienced about the
same advance as beet steers, being gen
erally ivc niguer man iusi weca s ciose.
Among the sales of heifers were some
good enough to bring 17.40. Veal calves
were not quite so much sought after, and
In somo cases a little lower than last
week.
Owing to the severe weather, the de
mand for stockers and feeders was not
overly active, but prices remained gen
erally Bteauy with last wecK,

CHIHUAHUA. Mox., Feb. 38.-Sentlinent
Is growing among certain rebel leader
that If tho attnek on Torreon Is delayed
much longer, or It the federal army sue
cecds ln holding that city, northern Mox
Ico will detach Itself from tho rest ot tho
country and becoino nn Independent re
public. Vhlle General Carranin. the civil head
ot the revolution, nnd General Villa, tho
military head, disclaim any Intention to
bo satisfied with nnythlng less than tho
overthrow of lltlertn and tie success of
the constitutionalist cause over tho entlro
country, It Is known that the plan to es
tablish a northern republlo has been se
riously considered by thorn nnd others.
General Villa's delay In tho attack on
Torreon nnd reports emanating from Mex
ico City that the federal garrison has
been strengthened to n lnilnt where It can
put up n formld.iblo resistance, havo given
renewed Impetus to tho Idea ot n separa
tion of the north from tho south nnd
General Carranza's coming to Chihuahua
atato from thn Pacific, coast Is looked
upon as possibly hastening an early
adoption ot tho plan.
What Lenders Think.
Many rebel lenders profess to believe
that whatever tho outcomo of the present
revolution the north nnd south will soon
bo a complete amalgamate. Tho north,
they assert, already Is politically Inde
pendent nnd has adopted a progressiva at
titude wholly at variance to conditions In
tho south, where two factions-tho Indif
ferent and tho adherents ot the old Diaz
regime predominate.
Tito territory, which, it Is said, might
be formed Into n sernrnto republic, em
braces tho fjvo states along tho United
States border Sonora, Chihuahua, Cua-
nulla, Nuovo Leon and Tamatillpas, with
possibly tho Inclusion of Slnaloit. From
practically all this territory the Huerta
army has been driven out. the chief re
maining strongholdR of tho federals be
ing nt Tamplco on tho east, Monterey.
Saltlllo and Torreon on tho south, Guay
iiio on the west and Nuevo Laredo nnd
I'ledrns Negras on tho north.
Miwlero it Northerner.
As suggesting that the revolutionary
leaders may have to content thcmselvcH
with their victories In tho north, officials
high In tho rebel government point out
that ono reason for tho overthrow of
President Mndnro was that ho represented
tho Ideals of tho north at tho seat of tho
government In tho south whero progress
has not kept paco with tho northern
states.
That by delaying Ills attack on Torreon,
General Villa has lost some of tho pros
tlge which ho gained In tho quick vic
tory at Ojlnaga Is conceded here. A
prompt assault on Torreon, nftor tlia
Ojlnaga victory six weeks ngo, somo
robel leaders 'say, would havo given Gon
cral Villa's troops great moral advantags
In routing tho federals. Instead, tho
federals in Torreon, under Uonoral
Refugio Vallsco. with ample train and
telegraph communication with Mexico
City, havo had opportunities to fortlfv
their position and to ovorconie much of
tho terror aroused among tho federnl
soldiers by tho mcro mention of Villa's
name.
Vllln'n Men Are Idle.
Most of Villa's soldiers, who ho savs
number 12,000 or more, nro now and havo
been for several weeks deployed along
tho rnllroad south of here, with their
baso at Jimenez and Kscalon. Why they
navo not boon ordered to march on
Torreon, but havo boen kept Idly waiting
along the railroad tracks, Is a question
which nono of them aro nblo to explain.
Tho belief In Chihuahua is that they wcri
seni out uecause aeneral Villa did not
want to maintain so many soldiers in
one city. The disposition of tho rebels Is:
At Jimonez, under Qeneral Moneinvin
Hcrrera, 2.000; at Kscalon, under General
Maximo Garcia, 1,200; marching aero
uurango stato to Maplml (north .,t

New Mexico ranchman by thn name of
Curtis, said to have Joined Laurence In

officially reported to have been taken to
Chihuahua for further Investigation on
the chargo of being a spy.
Mtt Truce of ( nimiloti.
United States consular representatives
at Juarez have been searching for trnco
of Compton, hut ho Is ln neither th'o Jails
or cuartels, according to reports mado to
them by constitutionalist officials, who
alfo say that they never had him under
arrest.
A private message from W. H. Perry
of Garden City. Cal., nslted for Informa
tion concerning tho missing man. It
stated that a letter had been received
from Harry Compton, dated Chihuahua,
which appealed to thfm for assistance,
saylntr that ho was a prlsonor In the
Chihuahua Jail and waa to be removed
to Juarez on February 15, which was also
the date set for his execution, and he did
not say In tho letter on what charges
ho had been arrested.
Al pen I tii Wilson.
General Hugh I,. Scott also received a
ieo.uest from citizens of Garden City,

the military have taken up tho search
The messago to General Scott said that
a dlrei't appeal had been made to Presi
dent Wilson to take steps to have tho
constitutionalists give up Information
concerning Compton,
Consul Edwards was Instructed by Se-
tctary of Stato Bryan today to locate
t'omplon, If possible, and to report on
the alleged arrest and execution of thn
American. Similar Instructions were
telegraphed to Connul Marlon Letcher at
Chihuahua to conduct mi Investigation
there. Both consuls Immediately took up
tho matter. Consul Bdwards called on
Colonel Fidel Avlla, Jefo do Las Armas
at Juare. but h tald ho had nover hAl
Compton In the Juarez Jail; that no
Americans had been executed In Juarex
and that ho had never heard of Compton.
From Chlhiwhtin, Consul I,ctchcr tele
graphed to Consul Kdwarris to relay tho
report to tho Stato department that Gen
eral Francisco Villa denied knowlcdgo ot
Compton and notified him that Comp.
ton had never boen nrrestoj or to his
knowlcdgo had ben In Mexico. Theso
reports wcro forwarded to the Stato do
partment ..Ink Ilrntnit' Unit)-,
Richard M. Dudley telegraphed Senator
Fall today asking him to take measures
to obtain Immediate delivery of the body
of Ronton to tho widow on this side of
thn river. Mr. Dudley explained thai n
believed a view of the body would go
far to explain the manner ot tho Scotch
man's death. Dudley, llko other Ameri
cans hero, does not accept tho official
explanation of a court martial na given
out at Juarez yesterday.
Tho dispatch from Chlhuah'la that
there was iv possibility, In certain con
tingencies, of the states of northern Mex
ico forming n now icpubllc, was rs
garded as plausible among refugees hero.
It was pointed out that for tho last three
years tho northern and southern parts

cession of tho northern states would not
materially change tho present Btatus of
the country.
Murder of Madero
Commemorated by

III311M09ILLO, Sonoro, Feb. 21-Thn
anniversary of tho overthrow and killing
ot Presidont Francisco Madero nna Vlco
President Pino Suarer. was comtnemo
luted today In nil parts of the Mexican
republlo hold by the constitutionalists.
One year ago Madero and Suares wero
killed In Mexico City after the mutiny
of federal troops placed Genoral Victor!-
nno Huerta In control as provisional pres
ident. Tho occasion was marked hero
by services In tho cathedral anil special
exercises In tho theater In which Gen
eral Venustlano Carranza participated,
The constitutionalist commander-in-chief
had decreed the day ns ono of national
mourning,
MEXICO CITr, Fob. 22. There was
ovldenco at thn French cemetery today
that reverence still has a place In tho
minds of many for Francisco Madero.
This was thq anniversary of his doath
nnd his tomb waa visited by hundreds of
persons, for tho most part women ot tho
better class, who decorated his tomb with
flowers and bunting, surmounting all
with a small statue emblematic bf lib
erty tho fltturo of a woman wearing a
liberty cap and red sash.
That tho government did not propose
to have this display of rovorenco grow
into one of disorder was mado manifest
by tho prcsenco of ruralos who guarded
the ga'ta nnd thn tomb. Kfforts to msko
photographs of the scene were prevented.

disappointment.

PUTTING IT ON THE DOG
Trick of Ventriloquist Mxclannae
lilt; .Money for a
Terrier,
A well-known ventriloquist performer
waa at an uptown hotel tho othor oven-
Ing, giving an old frlond a quiet llttlo
demonstration of his quality. They wore
seated at a table, and between tho two
sat n spry llttlo fox terrier. Out of the
mouth of thn dog, apparently, camo all
sorts ot witty, sarcastic and opportune
remurks, as Is tho way with vaudeville
ventriloquism.
A stranger at a nearby tablo was awe-

"That's a strange animal," he ventured
to remark. ".More than strango. It's
wonderful mysterious. It's uncanny.
I've heard of a cat laughing but a' dog
talking! Gee!"
The ventriloquist observed In a non
chalant way that he was a good dog, all
right.
"Good dog!" yelled the stranger. "Is
that all? Say, I want to buy that dog
to tako back with me to Vermont. I'll
give you 1600 for that dog."
"Don't soil me," came from the dog.
"Snakes and oyclonesl" crlod the man,
"that dog's bewitched. Now, seo here,
will you take 1500 for him?"
"Oh, please don't let him take me
away," proceeded from tho dog.
Then tho would-be purchaser becamo
mora frantic than ever, the owner of tho
dog being too busy thinking and other
wise to make any reply. All dogs were
the same to him, so far as his show was
concerned, and VM was a lot of money
for a mere terrier.
"Ves or no?' Inquired the man.
"Well, I hardly known what to do,"
replied tho showman.
"If you sell me I'll never speak again,"
were tho solemn words that came from
the dog.
There Is no definite Information on the
matter, but thero la every probability
that tho terrier will observe the promise.

IDEAL LENGTH OF SERMONS

Tho question raised by tho late Dean
Hole as to the Ideal length of a sermon
Is ono on which different people, accord
ing perhaps to tholr religious proclivi
ties, havo diverse opinions: but If tho
proferenco of royalty may bo taken a
11 standard, the favorite time appears to
bo In tlio rogion ot twenty minutes.
Queen Victoria's, objection to long ser
lnons may bo understood by tho fact
that In 1867 she presented a pulpit glass
to the Chapel Royal, Savoy, and It was
timed for exactly eighteen minutes. The
preachor who wished to find favor with
her majosty, therefore, always took the
hint nnd watched the glass carefully.
King Edward declared for oven greater
brevity, ln tho arrangements for hl
coronation tho sermon by the bishop of
London was allotted five minutes.
Napoleon III strictly limited preach
ers before him to a quartor ot an hour,
and If thoy exceeded tt an officer of the
Imperial household stepped to tho pulpit
and stopped the discourse.
Charles II apparently enjoyed long' ser
mens, and on ono occasion slept so
soundly under tho ministrations of Kent
that, on awakening greatly refreshed, he
exclaimed , "Splendid, splendid! This man
must havo a bishopric," and gave him
Bath nnd Wells when It fell vacant.
John Wesley was a preacher who evi
dently found It difficult to condense hla
thoughts ln a sermon of twenty minutes'
duration.
On one occasion he noticed that some of
his hearers were asleep. He at once
stopped his sermon and In a loud voice
called out, "Fire, flro!" There was In
stant commotion, and somo ono shouted,
"Where, sir, whero?" "In hell!" replied
Wesley, with deep solemnity, "for those
who sleep under tho preaching of the
word."
A certain rather "long-winded" clergy
man was officiating at Crawley church,
Sussex, when ho found a card printed In
large letters placed in the most promt-
rocnt part of the pulpit. "Be brief." He
understood. If tho vlllago knew It was
going to got out with a ten minutes' talk
as an appetizer for Sunday dinner It
would listen.
A certain Judge, when asked by a sher
iff's chaplain what was the proper length
for a sermon, replied, "Well, twenty
minutes, with a leaning to thn side of
mercy." This Judicial opinion, having tho
advantage of royal approval, seems.
therefore, to suggest the recognized
standard for tho duration of, sermons.
