during sleep gives most valuable testi.
mony to the physician. Much of the
purely physical testimony is not diff
cult to secure; but mental indications,
which often are even more Important,
are not as easily arrived at. Much at
tention has of late been given to this
branch of medical diagnosis. Prof.
Pheltshu, who has devoted himself to
the study of dream phenomena, says
that they are, when ascertained, one
Of the greatest helps the doctor can
have. Lively dreams are usually a
sign of nervous action. Soft dreams
are a sign of slight irritation of the

crisis. Frightful dreams are a deter
mination Of blood to the head. Dreams
about blood and red objects are indica-
tions of inf1ammatory conditions
Dreams about rain and water are
often signs Of diseased mucous men,
branes and dropsy. Dreams of dis
torted forms frequently mean abdom-
inal Instructions and disorders of the
liver. Dreams in which the patient
sees any part of the body, especially
suffering, indicate disease in that part
The nightmare, with great sensitive
ness, Is associated with determination
of blood to the chest. The range of
dream indications is being extended,
but at the same time it is recognized
that it is not always safe to take them
absolutely, but that their value to the
physician must depend very much on
his own experience and intelligence.

SITUATION IN IITAH.

Salt Lake, Feb. 1.-The result of the
last of the seven ballots taken in the leg
islature for United States senator today
was: Thatcher, 81; Rawlins, 10; Hen
derson, IA; Critchlow, g.
Throughout the seven ballots Hender-
son held his fourteen votes of Saturday,
while Thatcher lost one and Rawlins six.
The most radical changes occurred on
the first ballot and it was mainly con-
test between Thatcher and Rawins.
While there has been slight variation
in the strength of the leading candidates,
as the result of the ballot shows, the
feeling seems as pronounced as it was
last week, the last ballot showing scarce
ly change in the voting. There is a
rumor tonight that there will be break
ing in the Henderson forces tomorrow
and five or six of his forces will go to
Rawlins, and that the latter will then
receive the three republican votes. The
friends of Thatcher do not concede that
such break will occur. The four pop
ulists seem to be an uncertain factor in
the contest. While they are with Mitch.
ell now, it is said their votes will go to
anyone when it is shown that their four
votes will elect.

room when Lowe uttered these words
He was cross-examined. but his testimony
could not be shaken. 1t was on loves

LIVE STOCK.
CHICAGO.

Chicago, Feb. -Cattle-Prices were
steady and fair demand existed for the
rather limited supply. Beef steers sold
at $3.45M8.75 for the poorer grades up
to $5.OO651 10 for a few prime, the bulk
selling at S390M4.75. There was a
steady demand for fed cattle, although
buyers had to pay as high as $3.50 for
good steers. Butchers cattle were
strong and active. Good to choice Texas
fed steers sold readily at $4.00@4.25.
In hogs the demand was light and the
trade dragged at further reduction of
5 cents. Sales were largely at $3.50
3.35; common to prime droves selling at
S3.15@3.45. with choice pigs selling as
high as light hogs.
There were enough sheep and lambs
here to satisfy the demand, as buyers
got pretty well filled up on Monday. The
demand was fairly active at $4,000. rs
for inferior sheep up to $685. for choice
focks, most of the westerns and natives
going over 1925. An occasional sale
of choice native sheep was made at $500
M4.1O; sales were made at $300M3 rs
for the poorest lambs up to $4.75 for fat

ing off in the sales in the wool market
this week. Nevertheless the demand has
been active and sales foot up 10000

in some instances an advance has been
asked, but it is hard work to effect a
sale at higher figures. The territory
woods continue to meet a good business.

advances have been secured in some in
