Hogs = Receipts, $500, shipments. 1.2O0
The hog market opened with a fair demand
from order buyers, but packers were back
ward and rather Indifferent. Statesmen were
asking higher prices and finally succeeded
in making a clearance at an average ad
vance of about 2ikc over yesterday. The
receipts this week are 1900 larger than last
week and nearly 5000 smaller than the
same week year ago. Thus far this year
there is decrease of over $4,000 compared
with the same period last year. During
the week ending yesterday local packers
bought about 1900 and the shipments were
a little over 10000. The week opened strong.
but later sales were at unevenly lower
prices, the decline in some instances being
fully 10c. There was tendency toward
more strength the latter part of the week.
and final sales were fully as high the
close of last week. Local packers, as usual,
were the most liberal buyers. but probably
would not have been had there not been a
good demand from outside sources. The
quality continued generally satisfactory,
but there were probably fewer good heavy
hogs than last week Quotations:

Sheep - Receipts light; shipments none.
There were no fresh arrivals of sheep or
lambs, and therefore no quotable change in
the market The receipts this week are
150 larger than last week, but about 900
smaller than the same week year ago.
Thus far this year there is decrease of
over 600 compared with the same period
last year. There has been a continued good
demand for all fat sheep and yearlings.
and strong prices have prevailed. Spring
lambs sold higher at the beginning of the
week, but when the supply was nearly
equal to the demand there was the natural
reaction in values, amounting to about
SOC per 100 pounds. Quotations:

The Pitching of an Ocean Liner.

Globe of his experience during voy-
age across the Atlantic ocean, says:
Il believe made discovery in sea-
sickness. One night when the ship

when there was a particularly hard
lunge the soSews came out of the wa
ter and whirled round so rapidly as to
almost throw me out of bed. ! was
sleeping with my head forward. and
after awhile l discovered that the
screws seemed to come out of the wa
ter when the PROV was in the air. Then
it occurred to me that this was impos-
sible. Of course the screws came out
when the stern was in the air.
$50 my discovery was that in sea-
sickness, particularly when you are in
bed at night or have your eyes closed,
the ship really pitches upward when
you think it pitches downward. This
confusion may assist in muddling the
brain and stomach. | certainly had
this experience ali through one night.
When my head seemed in the air, the
screws came out Of the water. although
my heels were really in the air at the

American Athletes Win Most
of the Events at the Expo
sition Contests.
Capture Both the Hurdle Races
and Secure Leading Places
in ALI Trials.
About a Thousand Spectators
Present, Most of Them Be-
ing Americans.

PARIS, July 16.-The American ath-
letes, fresh from their victories in Lon
don, won the only two events decided
during the day and secured leading
places in all the trials which took place
on the opening day of the worlds anna
teur championships, held under the
auspices of the exposition The con-
tests were inaugurated with beautiful
weather, at the Paris Racing club, a
charmingly situated glade in the Bots
de Boulogne. Its pretty surroundings,
however, were hardly adequate COM
pensation for the poor accommodation
provided for the visitors, which will be
seriously felt on the days of big crowds.
Not more than 1000 spectators were
present, and the majority OF these came
from America
The Americans started by winning
the first heat in the ITO metre hurdles,
and places in the other two heats,
which they converted into complete
victory in the final heat, they winning
first, second and third places.
An Acc dent to Duffy.
This they followed up by winning
first and second places in the 100 metres
fat race, and they would have been
first, second and third but for an acct
dent TO Duffy, who won his heat quite
handily, as we'll as the semi-fnal, only
to have a tendon of his left leg give way
while leading in the final heat, when

The Americans then won two heats
out of three IN the SEQ metres fiat races
and all three heats in the 400 metres
hurdle race.
They have three out of the five men
who have qualified for the final in the
broad jump and three in leading places
out of the five qualifying for the final
in the shot putting contest, while Shell
don will represent the United States in
the remaining event, the discus throw
ing, which, Judging from the days per-
formances, is likely to be the only event
which the Americans will fail to carry
off out of the eight events in which
they started.

Her Last Drink.

In Hyde Park lives young matron
who is of such high nervous tempera
ment that If she drinks the very small
est amount of alcoholic stimulant be-
fore going to bed the result is sleepless-
ness for the remainder of the night.
Some nights ago a number of friends
dropped in for the evening. and the
husband, who. by the way. is a south
erner. suggested that he make mint
julep for each of the company. The
suggestion was received with delight.
and the juleps were promptly mixed.
In his ,wife's glass. however, he put
only enough whisky to flavor the
water. probably not more than a tea
spoonful. OF this she slipped about
half. The result, however. was the
same. She was troubled with insomnia
all night long. and it was not until 3
o'clock in the morning that she drop
ped off to sleep and. as conse-
quence, was not called for breakfast.
At 10 o'clock she came down stairs
and hearing the voices of children on
the front porch stopped to listen. Her
heart filled with motherly pride as she
heard her elder son. a boy of 6. telling
seven or eight children from the neigh
borhood that they must not make too
much noise as his mamma was asleep.
Imagine her horror, too, as the young
hopeful added:
"She drank so much whisky last
night that she couldnI come down to
breakfast this morning.'-kansas City

NO POLITICS IN 1T.

Both Mckinley and Bryan Were Invited
to the G. A. r. Encampment.
CHICAGO, July l6.-Regarding the
reports that the Grand Army encnmp-
ment is to have political aspect, Ex-
ecutive Director Harper said:
There is absolutely no politics in the
coming national encampment. Never
in the history of this organization has
there been an annual encampment to
which the president of the United
States has not been invited as the chief
executive officer of the nation. We
naturally follow the precedent estab-
hshed In this matter. MIR. Mckinley,
however, is also the most distinguished
comrade of the G. A. r. When the
formal invitation was sent by General
John c. Black, chairman of the COM
mittee on Invitations, to President Nc
Kinley similar invitation was for
warded to William j. Bryan. The
president has accepted. Mr.. Bryan
Immediately acknowledged the receipt
of the invitation, but did not give us a
definite reply. We want him here at
the time of the encampment and will
certainly extend to him every courtesy
in our power

Says the Desire for Independence Ii
Strong Among Cubans.
WASHINGTON, July l6.-Secretary
Root, in discussing the coming constl-
tutional convention in Cuba, expressed
himself quite positively on the question
of annexation. In reply to question
he said that the question of annexation
or any other subject, for that matter,
might be brought up before the conven-
ton, but that, in his own opinion, Gu
ban annexation, if it came at all, was
not imminent just now. Said he:
my own experience in Cuba leads
me to believe that the desire for indie
pendence is both strong and general
among the people. do not think they
want annexation, even surprising we
want them. Under the congressional
resolution Ae are In honor bound to
give them independence first. II, sub
sequently, they wish annexation that Is
a matter for them to determine. But
it should be determined when they are
in a position absolutely independent OF
us. Even then, as have suggested, it
is a case in which it takes two to make
a bargain -
