SaueIched the "Livina Lyre."

The death of Mrs. Harriet Lane
Johnson, who for many years was
prominent in social life in Washing
ton, recalls the crushing rebuke which
she administered to an oyer-forward
Englishman. When living in London
with her uncle, James Buchanan, then
United States minister to the court of
st. James, she was seated at dinner
one evening when the lordling compli-
mented her upon the beauty of her
hands, which were really remarkable.
Miss Lane was rather bored by the
mans attentions. Finally he quoted
rGay's line, Hands that the rod of
empire might have swayed," and
leaned back in his chair complacently,
thinking he had said a clever thing.
Miss Lane promptly repeated the line

The Willy Little jap.

We have been spouting these ten
years about the cleyerness of the jap
anese Our merchants have gone to
extremes in soliciting Japanese trade,
and our great insurance companies
have sent agents broadcast over the
islands of the Land of the Rising Sun
to write policies. In no other country
on the globe is the work of the insur-
ance solicitors so easy. In one month
$10,000,000 of life insurance has been
placed by one New York company.
Every measly little dwarf of a Jap
wants to insure. An agent has just
discovered that in medical examina-
tions he has been badly duped, one
healthy Jap standing the test for many
hundreds Of his fellow countrymen.
AS all laps look alike. the doctors did
not detect the fraud until about S.
100000 in policies had been written.
New York insurance men are exercised
about it.

"At one small pubic dinner at which
I met Charles Dickins l was struck
with his chivalry to an absent friend.
Mr.. Sims Reeves had been announced
to sing at the dinner, and, as happened
not infrequently, Mr.. Sims Reeves had
something the matter with his throat
and was unable to be present. Dickens
announced this and the statement was
received with a general laugh of in
credulity. This made Dickens, who
was in the chair, very angry, and he
manfully upheld his friend. my

ment, owing" he added with great Sc
verify. "to an unfortunately amusing

CATTLE 4.4efe w.. :. .lght supply
of cattle in sight. The market at TINS
point, however, was In rather PAD
shape and as result trading was eN-
tremely dull, and 1t was late before
clearance was made Beef steer buy
ers hit the market Il bad blow, claim
ing that prices here have been mucn
higher than at other points. The short
fed cattle suffered the most aid in sew
eral instances had to sell 10@ 15c low
er. or 25Q35c lower than at the first
of the week. Trading was slow from
start to finish and, although there
were only a few cattle in sight, 1t took
some time to dispose of them. There
were not enough grass beeves here to
test the market on that class OF stuff.
The cow market did not show much
change. If anything. the medium class
sold little easier than at the best
time the day before. but about steady
with the average. Cows, in fact, have
not fuctuated much during the entire
week, so they are not far from steady.
There were not enough stockers and
feeders on sale to tell anything about
the market. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that not many were wanted ow-
ing 10 the emu OF the week pelnS DIT
hand.
HOGS-There was a small supply oc
hogs on sale, but in sympathy with
decline in prices at other points the
market eased off a little here. The
general market could be quoted about
21ac lower or weak to a nickel lower.
The bulk of the sales went from $500
to $5.05. Choice light weights sold
largely from $5.071a up to $500. The
top price, however, was paid for
very fancy load and in fact such hogs
are more often seen in the show ring
than on the general market. They
weighed 203 pounds. There was not
much change in the market from start
to finish.

Five Hundred Church Bells Are In
Activity.

Activity.
ROME-The attention Of Rome Is
centered in the ceremony of Satur.
day, and for which great prepara-
tions are being made. The throne of
ST. Peter. which Plus X will occupy,
will be surrounded by canopy forty
feet high. The pope has informed
the vatican officials that he wishes
to be received on the threshold of
the basilica by Cardinal Rampolla,
whD, as archpriest of the church, will
address the formal greetings to him.
At the conclusion Of the ceremony
the pope Will confer his blessing upon
the people, but it has not yet been
decided whether he will do so inside
the cathedral or from the balcony
looking out upon the piazza, where
many hoped he would bestow his ben
ediction on the day of his election.
X is said that Plus X is in favor of
the latter plan, but the influence of
the vatican officials is against it, on
the ground that it might be interpret
ed as a recognition of the present
state of affairs in Italy. The holding
of the coronation ceremonies in st.
Peters itself represents a concession,
as in the case of Leo it occurred in
the Sistine chapel. Although it is es-
timated that 10000 tickets will be is
sued for the event, the demand for
them is very great.
At the consistories to be held Mon
day and Thursday next, the pope will
confer the red hat on Cardinals Aiuti,
Taliani, Katschtaler and Herrero y
Espinosa, who were raised from the
purple June %, but who have not re-
ceived these symbols of rank because
of the illness and death of Leo. 1t
is believed that the Spanish Cardinal
Herrero will not be able to be pres
ent at the coronation ceremonies.
During one full hour Thursday
morning there seemed to be nothing
but vibrating sounds, SO penetrating
were the strokes of the bells of about
500 churches, which, all ringing to-
gether, absorbed all other noises The
ringing was in honor of the election
of Plus X-a welcome unique of it's
kind, and ordered by Cardinal Res
phigi, vicar of Rome, who issued spe-
cial instructions therefor All the
churches contemporaneously celebrat-
ed masses for the event, the intoning
of the Oremus combining with tbs
harmony
The bells involuntarf1y served an
other purpose, that of ringing in the
great ceremony of the reception of
the diplomatic body accredited to the
holy see. Rome has lately been sur
feited with vatican functions, but
that of Thursday morning was so
striking that it held it's own with the
others.

NOT A BUMPER CORN CROP.
But Will Be Fair in Nebraska and All
Other Crops Are Good.

But VIII BE FdlF IN Nebraska anu All
Other Crops Are Good.
OMAHA-Secretary UT of the Com
mercial club returned Thursday night
from a two days trip to Denver, on
which he inspected the crops of the
state by daylight.
While there will not be bumper"
corn crop this year, Secretary UtJ
states that Nebraska as whole will
have a fair crop and that the higher
prices which will rule. due to the
short crops in eastern Iowa, Illinois
and other corn producing states, will
more than make up for the la,k of
quantity. A number of 'bad places"
were noticed and the second Dfanting
of corn, in places where the first one
was washed out by the early rains,
will be good only for fodder. But this
is all the farmers and ranchmen ex-
pected of it, the corn not being regu-
larly planted, but sown, and it will
be cut with reaper. Aside from
these places, however, corn makes an
excellent showing for this time of the
year.
Of other crops Secretary Utt's re-
port is that they are all good as a rule
and that taken as a whole the farm
ers of the state never were in better
condition than at present.

Plus is CROWDED
TREMENDOUS CROWD FLocKs
TO ST. PETERS.
RUSHING, CRUSHING POPULACE
Humanity Makes Great Struggle to
Get Through the Cathedral Doors
Ringing Of Many Bells Announces
Their Opening.

ROME-Pope Plus X was crowned
Sunday In the basilica Of st. Peters
in the presence of the princes and high
dignitaries of the church, the diplo-
mats and Roman mobiles and with all
the solemnity and splendor associated
with this, the most magnificent rite in
the Roman Catholic church.
AS Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the
cardinal deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head of the venerable
pontiff, the throng of 10000 persons
gathered within the cathedral burst
into unrestrained acclamatlons, the
choir intoned hymn of triumph and
the bells of Rome rang out joyful
peal.
1t Is fifty-seven years since the Ro-
mans and Europe assisted at such
function as that held at st. Peters
Sunday. The great basilica, popular
ly supposed never to have been quite
full, was overhowing with humanity.
The papal throne, bewildering mix
ture of gold, red and silver, was erect
ed in front of the high altar. AS,
contrary to custom at these ceremo-
malls, there was no galleries, the ba-
silica bore more of the normal aspect.
On the altar, which was dressed in
white, stood the famous gilt candle
sticks and magnificent crucinX. Ali
the available standing space within
the cathedral was divided into Sec
tions by wooden barriers, which to
certain extent kept the vast crowd in
order.
During the early hours after sun.
rise heavy fog hung over Rome, and
one bank of the Tiber could not be
seen from the other, while from the
st. Angelo bridge one seemed to look
into a fathomless abyss The effect
was especially magnificent on enter
ing the piazza of st. Peters. At
times Michael Angeles great dome
disappeared completely from view,
while at others it appeared through
flowing golden mist.
At a. m. the ringing of bells an
nounced the imminent opening of the
doors and commotfon at once began
among the crowd. But ten minutes
elapsed before the doors were open
ed and each minute seemed a century
to the waiting crowd, which for hours
had already beeen standing before
the closed portals. The police and
Italian soldiers had difficult task
to maintain order as the crush and
fatigue began to tell on the patience
of the people.
When the doors were at length
opened the rush was terrific. many
who started from the bottom of the
steps outside being lifted from their
feet and carried into the cathedral.
1t was a great human torrent let
loose, thousands of people rushing,
crushing and squeezing amid protests,
gesticulations and cries for help.
Strong as Plus x is physically, he
supported the ordeal with perhaps less
fortitude than did Leo XIII when he
was crowned, although Leo was
merely a shadow of man, but pos
sessed will nothing could break.
At night all the churches and re-
ligious institutions and many private
houses were illuminated in honor of
the occasion. The pontiff was so IA
tigued by the ceremony that the meet
ing of the consistory, which was to
be held Monday, was postponed.
