Hogs With the enceptlon of a week ago
today tha run of hoijs this morning was
the largest that haa been here on Bsturdny
In several ji.onths. Estimates called for
138 car, or M00 head. Big receipts have
been the ml all week, the six days' total
amounting to 75,023 head. This Is the
heaviest run to show op here since the final
week of March, being 81.000 heavier than
last week. 7.000 larger than two week ago,
and an Increasa of mora than 20,000? over
the corresponding week last year.
Tha general tons of th market was lower
todsy, packers taking advantage of a heavy
week-end run to beat prices down. Quality
was again tha big factor and the poorer
tha hogs were tha mora they auffered In
tha decline. Tha trade waa draggy all
through, aellera considering tha conces
sions packer were demanding larger than
conditions warranted. 1
Th elosa was another extremely draggy
affair. Buyers had left tha plain heavy and
nlxed packing kinds nut all morning and
nuite a number of these were left for the
flnlrh, along with a few decent hogs. For
a while It looked Ilk twenty or so loads
wight have to be carried over, a buyers
xiult altogether when there were that many
cars still unsold, but towards midday they
went back and cleaned th yards, getting
common packers fully a dime lower, and
the few decent hogs that wer left a nickel
to possibly 8 10c lower.

8hoep Fat lambs hava Just gone through
another week of price depression. With
the exception of Thursday, when th mar.
ket held about ateady value, hav broken
very day this week and on tha clots kill,
lng lambs ar right clos to 76o lower than
a week ago. Blow market bays been th
rule, a only tha hardest kind of work on
the part ef sellers has kept packer from
enforcing even greater price decline.
Native offering hav been rather icarc
all week and have sold on about the same
heals a ranger. A, few head brought
$19.40 yesterday, but they wer no criterion
of the market, as no lot of a deck or more
wer on sal. On th close the best of th
ranger ar selling at 116.40, with bulk of
the offering around $16.23, At last week
clos a spread of $16.76 11.19 wss buying
Unto that wer, If anything, hardly a
good the one that hav been her the
last day or two. What the future coarse
of the market will be Is pretty much
question. Tsckers have beaten prices down
until they are Just about on a par with
feeder values, and this might act aa a check
on any further bearish inclination, but
there ha been tlttl Improvement In the
astern dressed mutton trade, and packers
complain that lamb ar not paying out yet.

A few hours lattr Nicholas Knox
was summoned before the high priest

her fellow worshipers, for a council
of war. He was remindid that he had
not only not recovered the diamond,
but that he had actually lost the set

him that he must bring back both
violet diamond and ring within two
days or die and leave the field to a
better man.
He went to see Pearl at once. And,
though she forbade the butler to ad
mit him, he threw the poor man aside
and ushered himself in. ,
By assuring her of her own danger
(hes life had been threatened unless
she returned the diamond within fif

generosity on his oyn account, Knox
succeeded in persuading her to throw

when the servant appeared and Pearl
drew him out on the stoop, Knox at
tacked him, rolled with him down the
flight of stone steps and there landed
on top of him.
The servant, whose head had struck
the flagstones with some force, was
rendered hors de combat. Secreting
him in the sreaway, Pearl and Knox
entered the house.
They reached( the upper hallway
without "mishap, in time to overhear a
quarrel between Carslake and his lit
tle visitor. From the conversation
Pearl gleans that the little man was
implicated with Carslake in the mys
tery surrounding the violet diamond.
Carslake and his visitor withdrew
into an inner room, leaving Pearl and
Knox free to investigate the living
room thus vacated. As they started
to search for the diamond, a shot sent
them hurrying toward the inner room.
They found that Carslake had
killed the little man.
Knox attacked him, covered him
with his guti, and demanded the dia

baek tor new crop futures, and then a rally
all around to well above yesterday's finish.
Week-end evening up ot tradee tended
subsequently to harden prices until th last
fifteen minute of the session. The close

the door slammed and locked in their

magic over the window. And smdke
began to creep in. Carslake hadgath
ered together his valuables, had set
fire to the house and had escaped.
A policemaiifi$owever, chanced to
see the smoke-doming from an up
per window and sent in the alarm.
He also reported the matter' to the
police station, thus bringing it to the
attention of Tommy Carleton, report
er on the New York American.
Tommy hurried to the scene, borrow
ing a fellow-reporter's Ford for the
trip- ,
lie arrived before the engines and
began snooping about to see if he
could be of any service. Overhearing
a conversation between Carslake and
his secretary (both of whom are spy
ing nearby) Tommy vaulted the fence
in time to see the High priestess and
her Arabs forcing an entrance into
the house. They were on Carslake's
trail and did not know the house was
a tire.

Something Carslake said led
Tommy to understand that he meant
to trap them in the burning house,
and that he had others already trap
ped there.
Following Carslake, Tommy saw
him' lock the High Priestess and her
Arabs in a room on the lower floor
and turn a lever in the wainscoating
nearby. 1
The room had walls that came to
gether by machinery after the fash
ion of a letter-press. Carslake intend
ed to crush his enemies alive.
Tommy attacked him, and Carslake
gave battle.
Meanwhile, Pearl had fainted from
the. smoke upstairs and Knox had
stolen the setting of the fatal ring
from her. While attempting to open
the closed door, directly afterward he
dropped them both through a trap
into the room wkh the moving walls.
.It was certainly out "of the frying
pan into -the fire for them; for Cars
lake succeeded in getting out his re
volver and with one blow on
Tommy's head with the blunt end of
it, put the reporter out of the run
ning. There seemed no hope for the poor
creatures in Carslake's death chamber.
French Fashions Show
Strong American Note
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, June 30. A correspondent
in Paris calls attention to the pre
ponderating "American note" in
French fashions this year. He writes:
"There is an American accent about
all the new1 French clothes. It is dif
ficult to define, but it is there, and
its price is high. Some of the dress
makers when they went on strike
carried the Stars and Stripes and when
asked why, as they were agitating
mainly for the 'English week-end,'
they should carry the American flag,
replied'01i, it is the prettiestl'
"The same logic is applied to
clothes. American women have al
ways dressed well and do not mind
the cost, so' it is to the Paris dress
makers' advantage to make clothes
for them.
"Hats show a strong American
note. The soft felt hat turned up on
one side is worn with a touch of
cowboy swagger. The light muslin
dress is also an American fashion;
Shoes and trimniage show a similar
inspiration. In fact, to be dressed
'a rAmericane' is very much the
thing." ; ; ..

HAPPENINGS OF

Change of Dockage Rules on
Stag Hogs Means MtKh to
Shippers' on Local
Market.
0
Effective next Monday the dockage
on stag hogs on the South Omaha
market will be seventy instead of
eighty pounds, as at present, ands it
has been ever since the yards opened.
This concession it is said, which will
mean a great deal in dollars and cents
to the producers of live stock and
patrons of this market, was secured
by the South Omaha Live Stock ex
change at a conference Thursday aft
ernoon with representatives of the
packers trading on this market.
It was agreed by the packers' rep
resentatives and the board of direc
tors of the South Omaha Live Stock
exchange that the agreement now in
effect, regarding dockage of hogs,
should be amended to take effect next
Monday morning, so that after that
time the docage of stags will be sev
enty in'place ofeighty pounds.
The reduction of the stag dockage
has been a bone of contention be
tween the packers and the live stock
producers for some time, and this con
cession means approximately $1.50
per head per stag based on current
market values.
It was decided that the dockage of
forty pounds on piggy sows was fair
and that it should be maintained.

"And Omaha will be the key to that

in the center of the richest agricul
tural district in the world.
"The Missouri river was placed here
by the hand of Divinity. Human hands
will make this stream navigable and
we will have cheap transportation and
an outlet to the Latin American coun
tries. No city has so bright a future

Jealonsy of Another
Woman.
Jealousy of another woman," to
whom she accused her husband of
paying attentions, was the cause of
the suicide of Mrs. Lytha Karnes,
1242 South Fifteenth street, last
night, says L. T. Howard, her father.
The following note addressed to her
mother, was handed her husband jnst
before she swallowed an ounce of
carbolic acid.
"Mother, always take good care of
little Oliver, as I know you will and
do forgive me for what I have done.
I can't live this way no longer and
Eill is the cause of this. LYTHA."
William M. Karnes, husband of the
dead woman, returned home about 6
o'clock from work at the Sunderland
Brothers Coal company, where he is
a teamster, and found his wife writing
a letter. She handed him the letter,
he says, and requested him to give
it to her mother. He inquired, why
she could not do it and she turned
her head and drank the contents of an
ounce bottle of carbolic acid.
Drs. F. J. and Louis Swoboda
found Mrs. Karnes beyond recovery
and advised the calling of police sur
geons. Drs. F. J. Sullivan and F. A.
Zelosky responded, but Mrs. Karnes
died shortly after their arrival.
Thursday night Mrs. Karnes called
police officers to arrest her husband,
who was visiting with friends in
California street, but her grievance
was thought fixed up when it was
found he was not in the company of
another woman and they returned
home together, apparently very
friendly.
