short of a year ago.
Beef Steers-It was late in the fore
noon before enough cattle had been re-
ceived and yarded for buyers to work
on so that the market was very slow
to open. Statesmen figured that on ac-
count of the small receipts and more
favorable advices from eastern points
the market ought to be some higher
and prices their holdings accordingly.
This market was higher yesterday
! when other markets were reported
lower and the dressed beef men were
not disposed to put on any more today
so that trade was rather dragging and
it took dealers some time to get to-
gether on a trading basis. Prices
were naturally more or less uneven,
ranging from a little stronger on the
more desirable offerings to just about
steady on the half fat and short fed
kind. Competition from feeder buy
ers helped sustain prices on the lat
ter grades. The general tone to the
trade was far from strong and the
forenoon's volume of business was not
very large.
Hogs-Owing to the storm trains
we're mostly late today and came
stringing in all the forenoon. When
the market opened there were less
than twenty cars of hogs in sight. AS
might be expected, with the receipts
stringing in all the forenoon, there
was a good deal of unevenness In the
market. Some hogs sold early did
not show much advance, and others
sold way higAct, SJt the genera, ad-
vance amounted to 5&1oc. The hogs
averaged good, there being among
the early arrivals, at least. very few
light loads.
AS will be noted from the sales be-
low, the hogs sold largely at s6.75 a
6 .S5, as against IS. 65fb6 rs yesterday,
with a Sc. 90 top today and a $3.50 IL
top yesterday.

MOB LAW DENOUNCED.
DR. Macarthur Says officers
Should Shoot TO Kill.

He Says This Is the Only Country
That Roasts Men at the Stake-Mob
Law Is Anarchy Pure and Simple,
He Says.
New York, Aug 17.-Rev DR. Robert
Baptist church, has vigorously de-
nounced lynching and anarchy. In the
course OF his sermon he said:
"A mob is a wild beast A mob has
no brains to think, no breast to feel
and no reason to judge between right
and wrong. When democracy becomes
will be numbered.
Mob law is one of the greatest dan
gers in a republican form Of govern
ment- 1t is anarchy, pure and simple.
1t is vastly more dangerous in repslb-
lie than a monarchy. 1t resolves So
ciety into savagery. 1t brutalizes and
demoraliZes all who participate in it.
1t puts brute force In the place of law
and vengeance in the place of justice.
1t is treason to the republic and dis
honor to humanity.
ours lis the only country on the
globe that roasts at the stake men un-
condemned and untried. There is not
a spot to-day in darkest Africa or in
any other pagan land where such
atrocities are committed.
'sWe must insist that sheriffs and
other officers of the law shall be fear
less in the defense of their prisoners,
even though they be guilty of the most
awful crimes. In order to do so they
may have to shoot to KILL No man
who knows my spirit will charge me
with cruelty i'll feeling or action. Pub
lie officials are guilty of wrong to q
mob when they shoot into the airsT

FISH IN FAVOR OF TT.
Says Railroads Should Be Allowed to
Consolidate and Merge.

New York, Aug II. Regarding de-
velopments Of recent years in the rail
road world, Stuvesant Fish, president
of the Illinois Central, has given out
statement in which he commended
business consultations as helpful to
the general prosperity Of the country
Consultations and mergers will
continue right along he says, but
the railroads will never be controlled
by one man; neither will the govern
ment take control of them. These con-
solicitations are aimed to secure greater
economy and should bring about lower
rates.
You can no more prevent consolida-
tions in the interest of economy than
you can make water run up hill. The
right way to do is to let the railroads
consolidate or merge all they want TO.
Then let the people look after tariff
rates and taxation. There are at pres
ent some 800 railroad companies, and
these will sooner or later be merged
into twenty or thirty corporations. It
is the inexorable logic of events and
the tendency of the times"

SOME Are LOST.
Members of Picnic Party Cam
not Be Located.
VERY MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

One Member of the Party is Dead and
Another Has Gone Insane-Search-
ing Parties are Securing the Woods

Katherine Grathwold of st Paul, MINI,
is dead, Frederick Luders, IN artist Of
this city, is a raving maniac and Fred
Webster, Nellie Stone, Fred Gilbert
and Grace Porter, also of this city,
cannot be located, and at this time
mystery surrounds the whole affair.
The party left here yesterday for a
days picnic at the summit of the
mountains, which is reached by the
Lacumbre trail. Frederick Luders ar
rived in town last night and reported
that one of the party, Miss Grathwold,
was dying. but he was so exhausted
that none of the particulars could be
learned. A party then left for the
scene and Luders followed them.
They returned at midnight with Lud-
ers, who was found at the foot Of the
grade, a raying maniac and who could
give no account of the whereabouts Of
the rest of the party. The efforts OF
the searchers so far have been fruit
less in finding any trace of the lost
excursionists. Miss Grathwold was
staying in Santa Barbara for her
health, and was "a years old.

if the prince would retain his office,
which he had resigned before the
death of Leo XIII. and expressed the
hope that he would not again resign
it. In reply Prince Orsini gave the
pope to understand that mis- resigna-
ton had nothing to do with the duties
of his office, but was rendered on ac-
count Of his dissatisfaction with the
conduct of certain matters under the
late pope.
