THE CITY AND THE SEA.

To none the city bends a servile knee.
Purse proud and scornful on her heights che
s,anGs,
And at her feet the great white moaning sea
shoulders nccssantly the gray gold sands.
One, the AnGhtys child since time began,
And one, the might Of Manmon, born Of clods,
For all the city is the work of man,
But all the sea is Gods.
And she, between the and the town,
Lies cursed of one and by the other best,
Her staring eyes, her long, drenched hair, her
gown
Sea laved and soiled and dank above her breast
the, image Of her God, since life began;
Life, but the might of Mammon, born OF clods,
Her broken body, spoiled and spurned OF man,
But her sweet soul is Gods.

The second international congress of

achievements Of the Belgian Municipal

The National Belgian Society For

to All objects of Public Usefulness
was founded at Brussels in 1894 This
organization, popularity known as the
Municipal Art association, was started
by Il number of artists and public
spirited citizens for the purpose of re.
storing to art its social mission Of
bygone days by putting public and
private buildings into condition con,
sistcnt with tasteful principles.
The scope of the society is very
broad. While the principal purpose is
the exterior ornamcntation of public
Cdiilccs and dwelling houses in the
aesthetic manner which prevailed in
Flanders ana in Italy during the re-
naiSsance, every effort is made to en-
courage the application of art to mod
ern practical inventions.
The Belgian people, in giving their
support to the municipal art crusade,
are fully aware of the practical bcne.

Since its formation the art society
has rapidly increased its membership,

5000. The daily press and all classes
of society support the movement

HOGS HAVE DECLINED
Drop of Ten Cents Flat Was
Reported Yesterday.
AN OVER : SUPPLY EAST
Is Supposed to be the Cause
of the Fall in Prices.

The hog market declined 10 cents yes
terday and most Of the hogs sold on the
big end of the decline. The early mar
ket had the best end of it, and trade
gradually became clover as the sun pro-
gressed towards the western horizon.
at was a bad day for the hog shippers,
but not any worse than at other points.
on the contrary, the Wichita market
was considered better than Kansas City,
where the decline was more pronounced.
Monday is not a good day at the yards,
20 far as the supply is concerned, and
yesterday was no exception The supply
was not large, but it was certainly as
large as the average Monday. The quail
ity of the hogs. with the exception of
one or two loads, was not good. 1t is
not q fair average" said one commits
sion man who is well acquainted with
the trade OF. the yards for several years.
The decline in the market naturally
formed the gossip Of the day among the
stock yards men and shippers. II is
attributed generally to an over-stocked
eastern market. The packing houses OF
Kansas City, Chicago, Cincinnati and
Buffalo are crowded with a decline in
The demand for their products. 1t is not
known when the decline viii end but she
snen at the stock yards hope that it IS
ct an end. The local traders are in
sympathy with the shippers and the far
mers, and If they had the "say" about
things there never would be a decline.

QUESTION OF LAW
Eastern Loan Association Against
ID. v. Walker on Trial.

Yesterday most Of the time in the dis
trict court was occupied by the trial of
the Peoples Building. Loan and Saving
association Of Geneva, N. Y. against D.
v Walker of Wichita. The suit was
brought TO collect about $500, which the
loan company claimed was due them
from Mr.. Walker
The facts as set forth In the petition
are that in 1891 Mr. Walker made appli-
cation to the Building and Loan assocl-
alton for shares. He also made applica-
ton for loan OF 5000. with his home
stead as security. but the application
for the loan was rejected. The follow
ing year, however. he obtained loan Of
81 500 on the same security. Mr.. Walker
transacted his business with the COM
pany through their agent Mr.. ". ]. Skel-
ton, who was then located In Wichita,
and it was agreed that the payments
should be made in this city
Mr. Walker made payments until some
time in 1897. when he ceased making
them. Nothing was done until about
year ago. when the Building and Lean
association brought suit through their
attorneys, Brown & Brown
In the trial yesterday the defense tried
10 prove that the interest charged by the
company was usury and that under the
laws of Kansas Mr.. Walker is entitled 70
a refund. The plaintiffs claim that the
contract was made under the laws OF
New York and that the Kansas laws do
not apply. They base this claim on The
fact that the money which was borrow
ed under the contract was used TO pay
OF certain other claims on the house and
that those were paid in New York and
not in Kansas. They also claim that the
contract was made IN New York for the
reason that Mr. Walker had - send his
application there in order to have the
loan granted. There ara several points IN
the case which have not yet been brought
out. but as the trial win Dc continued to-

looked as If the condition might be
changed, July closing ssQ31c under Sat
urday. Corn was weak, July closing 11sc
down. Oats closed 3sq1kc lower and pro-
visions 71zg10c to 25o reduced.
The trade in wheat was quiet today.
The market opened firm. Gables were
higher and the seed-sprouting rain still
remained a stranger to the northwest.
Traders were disposed to stay on the
safe side until it developed whether
there was TO be a prolonged drouth In
the northwest. July opened $50 higher
at 61asqS71zc, touched size. and for hours
clung around that mark. During the
afternoon some messages from the Da-
kotas and adjoining territory came in
and announced that sit looked like rain
Vague as this was, it was sufficient
combined with the corn weakness, to
cause selling. AS there was little de-
mand July slumped sharply to e61zc. The
close was easy, July 3sQ1ac down at 665sc
The cash business was slow. New York
reported 10 loads taken for export
Clearances in wheat and -four were equal
to $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts were
$4,000 bushels, compared with $4,000
bushels last year. Minneapolis and Du-

to $3.50. Gables from Liverpool were
weak, the weather favorable and coun-
try offerings, especially from Iowa, re-
ported much larger. These were the fac
tors. The market received some support
at 81 cents, but finally this was satisfied
and the market sagged little further
The close was weak, July 11zc lower at
$3.50. Receipts here were 121 cars.
Oats were moderately active but
weaker in sympathy with corn and be-
cause Of favorable weather. Country Of
ferings were also larger. July sold be-
tween 2214 and 217sc, closing solo lower,
at 217sc. Receipts were 211 cars.
Provisions were quiet and rather weak
because hog receipts were heavy. Prices
at the yards were lower. Following the
opening, offerings were liberal and the
market eased off. There was a fair de-
mand for lard The close was easy.
