THE NEWS In IOWA
HOGS RUSHED TO MARKET.
An Abnormal Condition is Already
Developed

An Abnormal Condition is Already
Developed.
Des Moines, Jan. 6.-The drouth of
1901 and the short corn crop is likely
to be far reaching in its effect upon
the hog supply in the middle west
states and especially in Iowa. Exper-
fenced stock buyers say it is doubtful
if the hog feeding business resumes its
normal conditions for the next two
years.
The prevailing high price OF corn
has alarmed the feeders and but few
of them are making any effort to hold
their hogs back to the usual time for
feeding. Thousands upon thousands
of hogs that in ordinary years would
be held several weeks longer on corn
feed are now being hurried to market
to avoid expensive feeding, and at the
present ratio the country will be de-
nuded of porkers in a few weeks.
Already the run has been so large
at several big market points that the
average receipts as compared with
those of previous months and prev
lOuS nave Ol At al
ing rate within the last few days. Hog
buyers say that this is due to the fact
that all the marketable hogs have been
consigned and that feeders are now
sending in light stuff and skipps and
culls.
At one market the average weight
of all hogs received last week was 1856
pounds, against an average weight of
200 pounds for the preceding week and
of 231 pounds for the corresponding
week of 1901. The average was the
lightest in the history of the yard and
the quality the poorest. Similar re-
ports are received from all the market
points.
Hog buyers have been securing the
country in an effort to secure good
hogs for shipment to the packing cen
tiers, but report that the herds are
nearly all cleaned up, that in many in
stances feeders have sacrificed por.
lions of their brood herds to avoid the
cost of carrying them over on ex-
pensive corn and that immature and
thin hogs are about all that remain
in the country and that they are being
marketed with great rapidity.
They say that herds have been sold
down so close that there is bound to
be shortage next season and that it
will be 1903 before the herds regain
their usual numbers.

WIDE SCOPE OF NEW BAN
The Entire Orient and South Ame|
are Included.

New York. Jan. 3.-The plans of
international Banking corporati@
which has been named by the prdk
dent as repositor for the receivit
of the Chinese indemnity due u

General Thomas II. Hubbard, 4
president of the board of directors

after the Philippine agency is estatv

The feature rs that the entire Orien
and south central America shall bel

bank.
"All of this Is but the natural out
growth of the commercial and terri
toral expansion of the United States, !"
continued General Hubbard. Hereto
fore there has been no particular need
in the United States of banking in
stitution doing an international busi-
ness. but since the Spanish war and
the tremendous trade of recent years
with South America and the promise
of constantly increasing trade with
Cuba and the Orient, the necessity for
ju1t such an institution as this has
been developed
Heretofore all the exchange with
foreign countries has been handled by
the banks of Berlin and London.
There are number of internationl
banks in these cities. 1t will be the
purpose of the International Banking
corporation to secure as much as pos
sible of the exchange business here
tofore handled by these foreign banks
with which this country is concerned"
So far comparatively little has been
done by the new bank. its charter by
special enactment of the Connecticut
legislature having only been obtained
last June. General Hubbard said that
a branch would be established in New
York city. although the bank here
would not be for the purposes of de-
post, exchange alone being handled.
The New York bank II to be sort of
a clearing house for the various
branches controlled by the main in
stitution. The reason why the charter
was obtained in Connecticut. accord
ing to General Hubbard. is found in
the fact that the laws of that state are

The Origin of Woman.

Julia Parucher in Town and Country.
At the beginning of time Twashtri, the
Vulcan OF the Hindoo mythology, created
the world, and man. But when he wished
to create woman h found that he had
hauSted all the materials at his disposal in
the creation of the man. There remained
solid elements. Twashtri, PerPleNed.
sank into profound revery. Presently, he
grasped an idea, and took the roundness of
the moon, and the undulations of the
pent: the flexible branches of plants, and
the tremor of grasses: the slenderness of the
reed. and the velve:y touch Of the flowers:
the lightness of leaves, and the glance of
the roe; the evanescent glitter of sun beam,
and the tears of tn clouds; the ickleness of
the wind, and the tin1ldity of the hare; the
vanity of the peacock, and the softness OF
the down which trims the breast of the spar
row; the hardness of the diamond, and the
sweetness of honey: the cruelty of the tiger,
and the warmth of the fire; the GOODNESS of
the snow, the chatterng of the jay, and the
cooling of the turtle dove.
All these things Twashtri mixed together
aud formed woman. He then gave her to
man. Eight days after the man came to
Tw ashtr and said TO him:
s'Master, the creature that you gave me
poisons my existence. She chatters without
ceasing-she takes all my time-she COM
plains for nothing-she is always i'll. 1 have
come to beg you to take her back, for
cannot live will, her.
And Twashtri took the woman back.
Again, after eight days, the man appeared
before the god, and said:
ssMaster, my life is very solitary since l
returned you that creature. I remember
that she danced before me and sang. l also
remember that she looked at me out of the
corner of her eye, that she amused me, and
admired me-
And Twashtri gave back the woman to
the man. Three days only passed, and the
god perceived yet again the man before him,
disconsolate.
ssMaster,' said the man, 81 do not know
the reason, but am certain that the
woman causes me more annoyance than she
gives me pleasure. Master, I entreat you,
take her back
But Twashtrl cried in anger:

And the man said:
81 cannot live with the woman.'
81. The god replied:
..You will not be able to live without
her.
And the man went away full of sorrow
and lamenting: "Alas! poor me! l cannot
live with her, and I cannot live without
her!'
