HOG MARKET

Receipts Were Light for a
Thursday

of offerings.
AND COMPETITION STRONG


Hog receipts were light yesterday and
rs usual the bulk Of the car hogs arrived
late in the evening. The market opened
steady, but-Iater 10. .l5c decline was re
ported in Kansas City and a TIC decline
was established here. For the first time
in many months hogs delivered BY farm
ers in wagons headed the list anr brought
the top price. There were two causes
for this result One was that some of
lie wagon hogs were better than the
average of the car hogs and the othcs
was that a large part of the wagon hogs
sold carly ia the day and before the fal
force Of the decline came. The competi-
ton among the buyers was so strong that
they bid UP the price on wagon hogs.
Cudahy and DoId got nearly all the hogs,
the former taking the lead. Some Of
the buyers claimed that they were pay
ing within Is cents Of Kansas City prices.
while Colonel Garrett. the buyer for Ar
mour, insisted that most OF the hogs
sold at not TO exceed ~ cents under
Kansas City. He said the hogs were too
hig.- lor him. lie sa.4 that at the prices
hogs were bringing when freight and
shrinkage we're counted the hogs would
cost him away above Kansas City prices
IT was very evident yesterday that Dold
and Cudahy were anxious for hogs and
they did not seem TO be afraid 10 bid
good prices. The favorite price at the
close was $617iz for the best heavy hogs,
but there was not fancy load of hogs
among the offerings and the best were
only fair TO good mixed packers

THANKSGIVING.
President Roosevelt Issues CustO-
mary Proclamation.

Washington, Oct. 80. - President
Roosevelt has issued his proclamation
designating Thursday, November 81, as
the day of thanksgiving. The procla-
nation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of festi-
val and thanksgiving to God. Over a
century and quarter has passed since
this country took its place among the
nations of the earth, and during that
time we have had, on the whole, more
to be thankful for than has fallen to
the lot of any other people. Genera
tion after generation has grown to man.
hood and passed away. Each has had
to bear its particular burdens. each to
face its special crisis, and each has
known years of grim trial, when this
country was menaccd Dy malice, do
nestle or foreign, when the hand of the
Lord was heavy upon it in death or
flood or pestilence, when in bodily dis
tress and anguish of soul it paid the
penalty of folly and froward heart.
Nevertheless decade by decade we have
struggled onward and upward, we now
abundantiy enjoy material well-being
and under the favor of the Most High
we are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting. The
year that has just closed has been one
of peace and of overlooking plenty.
Rarely has any people enjoyed greater
prosperity than we are now enjoying.
For this we render heartfelt thanks to
the giver of good, and we seek to praise
Him, not by words only, but by deeds,
by the way in which we do our duty to
ourselves and to our fellow men. Now,
therefore, 1, Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate as day of general thanksgiv-
ing Thursday, the 9th of the coming
November, and do recommend that
throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations, and in
their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks unto Almighty God
for the manifold blessings of the past
year.
SIN witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
"Done at the City of Washington, this
Goth day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1902, and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and
twenty-seventh.

a boy In short trousers hired out as
messenger in Pittsburg. He and An
drew Carnegie ran errands together
for several years and as messenger
boys formed the partnership which has
always existed between them. They
schemed together as youths and while
very young men embarked in the bust
ness which has made them both multi.
millionaires-the making of steel.
Many years ago Mr.. Phipps' fortune
had expanded to the million mark and
his influence was felt in the financial
world; but he was habitually modest
and shrank from publicity, wherefore
his name was but seldom heard. In
the steel business he became a factor
almost as powerful as his associate,
Mr.. Carnegie, and his fortune grew
apace. In 1901 he was publicly classed
with the 1897 other American million
aires and since that time he has been
ranked with the country's wealthiest
men.
Two years ago he left Pittsburg,
which had been his home as we'll AZ
the scene Of his successful operations,
and settled in New York. He at once
bought nearly the entire block on 9Th
avenue, between S7th and 8Sth streets,
and secured plans for palace to cost
approximately $1,OOO.OOO. Work on
this magnificent palace is now under
way.
His donation to the Beers created no
surprise to those who are we'll ac-
quainted with Mr.. Phipps. Numerous
institutions in Pittsburg, Allegheny
City and other cities have been bene-
flied by his charities and innumerable
unfortunate persons have been aided
by him.

WOULD LIKE A CABLE.
Southeastern Alaska People Ask
Telesraphic Communication
With the Sound.

Skagway, Alaska, Nov. 1.-Before
many weeks, it is understood, an effort
will be put forth by citizens of Alaska
petitioning for cable to connect at
Juneau with cable from Skagway, to
be run to Puget Sound. The fast grow
ing population of Southeastern Alaska,
the establishment of many big paying
propositions, and the large financial
pursuits will be the chief grounds for
the petition. A cable affording direct
communication is one of the most i'm
portant matters that now confronts our
business people,.
The Skagway chamber of commerce
passed resolution commencing Gen.
Greeley for the great telegraph and
cable work done in Alaska.
Mr.. Newell, manager of the White
Pass, also Mr.. Isom, of the North
American Trading and Transportation
Company. left Thursday for Seattle.
The Yukon river is still falling. Few
steamers are running now, having bad
time in making trips. The last pas
sengers in large numbers from Dawson,
and also Atlin, will arrive in this city
by Tuesday at the latest.

NOT YET DIFFERENTIATED,
Reports to Marine Hospital Show
Spread of Plague.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The dreaded
bubonic plague, which has existed in
San Francisco for the last two years, is
not yet exterminated. In fact, the re-
ports to the marine hospital service
show that the disease is slightly on the
increase. Between September and
October Z, less than a month, there
were 13 known cases of plague in San
Francisco, all of which resulted favora-
bly,. Reports subsequent to October Z
have not been received
The plague sometime ago extended
outside of ths city OF San Francisco,
although it had been said that the dis
ease was confined to the Chinese quarter
there. Cases have been reported from
Davisville. Berkeley and Oakland.
When the federal government took hold
of the matter, in opposition to the
wishes of the state and city authorities,
it was expected that the cases of plague
would disappear. Rigid measures were
taken, but the underlying causes OF the
infection do not seem to be under con-
troll.
