Omaha Range Horse Market,

An exchange remarks that the
market on range horses has been
the best this season in over five
years. The Fred Terry Commission
company of Omaha report that they
have sold over 800 head OF horses
since the first of June. There has
been an abundance of buyers at all
times who have paid top prices for
everything in the line of range stock
in their class. Some shippers have
made a mistake in shipping thcil
horses to market before they were
in condition. Particularly is this
noticeable rs the season advanced
Old mares and gcldings and all
classes that are thin in flesh should
not be shipped. This class will sell
for all they are worth but are not in
demand. Shippers who have
shipped fat young horses of an,
age, from suckers to maturcd,mare>
and geldings, have been we'll satish
ed and a warm friend OF this market
There is not half enough range
horses coming at this time to suppl,
the demand. Buyers this have hat
to return home without horse:
because they were not on the mar
ket. The commission firms at tn,
stock yards receive many letters o
inquiry each day regarding the clas
Of stock, and the demand will las
all winter for fat branded horse
weighing 200 pounds and upward

 The assemblage of buildings called by the name of the Vatican, and which ex- tends in an oblong, irregular mass north of St. Peters as far as the town walls, consists mainly of CD the papal palace, CD the court and garden of Belvedere, (3) the libarary, (D the museum. The papal palace contains, among other remarkable objects, the sistine and Pauline chapels, painted by Michael Angelo. The Sistine chapel contains the painting of the Last Judgment" the four ''stanze," or apartments, painted by Raphael; and the 'loggie,' or open galleries, painted by Raphaeps pupils under his direction. There are numerous other apartments. with paintings and other objects worthy of notice, which are described in the guide-books. The principal staircase, made by Bernini, is a splen did work of art. The Vatican is said to contain altogether eight staircases, more than twenty courts, twelve great halls, and several thousand apartments, large and small A corridor about one thousand feet long joins the papal pal ace to the building called Belvedere, which serves as a museum.

which was built by the architect Fon-

 brary, which has been increased by many popes. The libraries of the Duke of Urbino of the Elector Palatine, or Christina of Sweden, of the family Ot- toboni, and others, have been added to it. It contains eighty thousand printed volumes and twenty-four thousand manuscripts, of which five thousand are in Greek, sixteen thousand in Latin and three thousand in the Oriental lan- guages. Partial catalogues of this great store of learning have been pub lished by Aseani, Marini, Mai and other librarians. The museum or col lection of works or art, mostly of an- cient sculpture, was begun by Clemens XIII. and Clement XIV, and greatly increased by Plus VI, who was a man of taste and who gave 1t the name of Museo Pic Clementino. It was illustra- ted by Clio Batta Visconti and his son, Ennio l.. Visconti, in seven volumes folio, with plates, Roe, m1TS2. Plus VII, during his troubled pontif1cate, began a new collection, to which has been given the name of Museo Chiara- monti. The two together, which are distributed along the court, garden and palace of Belvedere, constitute the richest museum in Europe. Another and more extensive garden belonging to the pope is annexed to the Vatican palace, and extends along the brow of the hill.-American Architect.

MUSICAL EVENT.
At Summerfield Methodist Church.

At Summerf1eld Methodist Church.
 A delightful and highly successful musical rendering was the presentation of the oratorio, 'Belshazzar," at the Summerfield M. E. church Thursday evening. A chorus of thirty-fve voices, under the direction of c. J. Benham, had been preparing for it's rendition for sev- eral weeks, and the splendid work they did bespeaks great credit for the train- ing they have received. The chorus was ably assisted by several local solosts, MT. Fisher taking the part of Cyrus; MT. Nash that of Belshazzar; c. w. Smith, Daniel, and MT. Waite, Zeru- babel, while of the ladies the part of Nitocris (the queen regenD was taken by Miss c. E. Terrel of New York; Antonia (BelshaZzar's queen) was rep resented by Miss l.. w. Abbott; Miss Driesback took the part of the angel; Miss Beatrice Spang represented Shelo- mith (the wife of ZerubabeD and Miss Millie Benham sang the part of Myra Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Brownson were attendants to Queen Antonia.
 The exceptionally fine solo work of Miss Terrel quite captivated the large audience, whose hearty applause showed their high appreciation of her talent. Much praise is due Mrs. w. H. Burgwin, who has been the piano ac- companist through all the rehearsals and, assisted by Miss Green at the or gan, contributed much to the successful rendering of the oratorio.

A WILD FIRE EATER LOOSE.
A Man, His Jag and His Revolver Max

Man, His Jag and His Revolver Make Excitement in Police Station.
 There came near being another trag- edy on Grand avenue last night. and the fracas occurred in the police station of the Second precinct. Thursday night a man named Patrick Murray was ar- rested at Cedar Hill on the charge of drunkenness. He was taken to the sta tion house and threatened to blow up the station as revenge for his arrest. He was released yesterday morning. Last evening about 7:15 o'clock Sergeant Do- herty and the few patrolmen in the Grand avenue station house at that time were sudednly startled by seeing a man burst through the door waving a revol- yer and calling upon the occupants of the station to come up and be shot. He told them that the hour of retribution was at hand and that he intended to take summary vengeance for the affront to his dignity in arresting him the night before.
 After recovering from the momentary surprise which had seized them, Ser geant Doherty and the officers quickly seized the boozy fire eater, and dis armed him before he had carried into effect any of his loudly expressed mur- derous intentions. He was locked up md charged with being drunk and car- tying concealed weapons. Murray owns considerable property In Fair Haven. The weapon with which he threatened the patrolmen last night was a 3S-cali- bre revolver, five shots, and with each chamber loaded.

 Prices were forced upward under the leadership of the Flower stocks, in- cluding Rock Island, Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Transit. The low-priced stocks were then taken in hand Ten nessee Coal and Iron moved up 3A, American Spirits preferred 3, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred AZ, Wheeling and Lake Erie first preferred when is- sued 4, Pacific Mail 25s and Indianapo- lis and Louisville preferred 3. Among the specalties there were advances of 23s in Rubber and 2 in Sugar, while Metropolitan moved within 2 points. There was an average rise of over a point in the grangers, led by Rock Isl- and for a gain of 1B. The coalers, Morgan stocks and Cleveland, Clncin- nati Chicago and St. Louis were quiet. Long Island jumped 5A and Norfolk and Western preferred on large trans actions advanced 11s. The move in the latter was attributed to talk of an in- crease in the dividend rate Lake Erie and Western and Chicago and Great Western preferred "A" rose in the neighborhood of points. The news accompanying the advance included the favorable report of the senate commerce commission on the steamship subsidy bill which benefited Pacific Mail; an, explanation that the new beet sugar company would not invade the Ameri- can Sugar Refining companys territo- ry, and a number of favorable traffic statements, including those of North ern Pacific and Southern Railway. Reading and Wabash December net changes, however, were decreases. The Lackawanna annual report, showing a deficit after dividends of over half a million dollars, was without notable ef- feet on the stock, only one transaction appearing after the publication of the report.
 The denial of the rumored New York Central plans was responsible for early losses in Union Pacific, which subse- quently rallied, closing fractionally off for the day. In the later afternoon there was a vigorous bear raid which reduced prices from to 2 points on the news agency bulletins of Aguinaldo's proclamation of the Philippine repub- lie being established. The stocks offer ed were presently freely taken, which gave steady tone to the close. Trans actions were in excess of million, as on other days this week.
 Considerable irregularity prevailed in the bond market, with the active issues favoring a downward course. Total sales SC, 215,000.
