HOGS-There was another fairly liberal
run of hogs here this morning and the
market opened rather slow and fully DC
lower. Other markets were quoted lower,
so hat sellers had to take the prices
offered, and, although trading was not par
.ticularly active, still the bulk of the ar
rivals was out of first hands in good
season and they sold generally a nickel
lower. The medium weights sold largely
from Sis to 1870, with the choice heavy
weights going from S7.2O to $3.50. The light
weights went from S.15 down. The last
end of the market was n little slow and
the tendency was to buy the late arrivals

this morning, but Chicago and other points
were reported lower. so that buyers here
were again beaTish. The quality Nof the
bulk OF the offerings was on the common
order and that also helped to depress the
market. Sellers did not feel like taking
on much from yesterdays prices and as a
result trading was very slow. Buyers

WOLVES WAX BOLD
IN ILLINOIS BOTTOMS
Cross From Missouri and Live in Duck
Hollow Caves.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. July 27.-WilIiam
Pryor, prominent farmer near Wa
terloo, ILL.,. while blowing land near
Duck Hollow yesterday, saw a large
gray wolf coming toward his house
He ran to the house, got his shotgun
and shot and killed the wolf
1t was four feet from tip to tip, and
two feet high, and weighed fifty
pounds. Mr. Pryor took it to County
Clerk Albert Gauen and received the
S. bounty which is paid for each wolf
killed in Illinois.
Duck Hollow is a dense wilderness
which has many rocky caves. 1t is
two miles wide and over eight miles
long. 1t is only five miles from the
Mississippi river, and in winter the
wolves come across the river from
Missouri when it is frozen.
Over twenty wolves have been seen
there in herd, and they attack and
devour young hogs and lambs, and also
attack cattle.
Several hunting expeditions have
been made after them, but the wilder
ness is so dense that they are hard to
find.
Dr. A. F. ScheIlschmidt was return
ing through Duck Hollow at night re-
Gently after having attended a patient
when the wolves attacked his horses.
and it was with great difficulty that he
got away from them. They are in
creasing so rapidly it is becoming I'M

BURDETTE IN THE PULPIT.

One need not have too many years order to
bark back the time when the Burlington Hawkeye was
the vehicle for the expression of Robert J. Burdette's
humor. Many of those who remember what vogue
Burdette enjoyed a humorous writer were perhaps
surprised to read in yesterdays papers that the humorist
had taken the pulpit and had preached rather bald
church Los Angeles. The going forth into
the gospel field of Burdette direct attention
the passing of that class of humorists who time
recognized expressing the genius of American wit.
The pungent wit of Eugene Field made its impression
his day. But Field has been dead only few years
and he is remembered because of his of childhood
rather than for his humor. Bill Nye the pop
ular and the widely read humorst of his day There
rolickng note to his wit that caught and held the
fancy of the American public. He might still be favor

and "Pecks Bad Boy" dead Bill Nye Alexander
Sweet who made Texas Sifting famous lost his hold on
the public because the fellows who exploited him

Stories They Tell:

Horoscope readings have become cpl

Men, women and children in many 10
calitieS show symptoms OF the disease,
and there are signs of its spreading. 1t
costs the victims 10 cents to get par

ton of what is to happen to them in
the future. How far this play upon

is matter for the authorities at Wash

citizen would say that the matter sent
out is strictly prohibited.
The possible effects of the direful
predictions that are sometimes made III
the circulars sent out are deplorable.
One lady in the district, of a nervous
temperament, received a paper the 9TH
err day that a great calamity was to be-
fall her, and it SO worked upon her
mind that she could not sleep. A cloud
of. fear rested upon her and her life
was made miserable until the Illusion
wore off. The result might have been
even worse. -
The first impression upon reading
one of these circulars is that it con-
tairs much that accords with the char
acteristics of the one receiving 1t, and
the conclusiono is jumped at that the
reading borders on the marvellous

AS THE JAPANESE SEE US.

One Toyokichi Iyenaga traveller from Japan told
the students of the University of Chicago the other day
that the Japanese better dressed possessed better
of morality and knew of the of entertain
ing than the Americans do Incidentally Dr. Iyenagas
took sharp rap at American and their metfods
of dressing. He said:
'Our women have never tried bridge the space be-
tween themselves and the savages by boring hofes<
their hang bones and FROM by tofturing
themselves with high heels, by incasing their waists in
steel cages by shocking the sensibties by wearing the
bodies of dead birds around their heads" T-s-s.~
1t is bit rough to have lecturers from apan
to tell faults but the candor of Dr.
Iyenaga conpes the admission that there is much of
truth in what he says of the absurdy of the costng
and decorations affected by Occidental women The
Japanese very much closer in their habi-
ments, but the average Weserner would hesitate long
before demanding of his folk that they adopt
the kimono for street
Perhaps DR.. Iyenaga would not have been sharpin
his comments women and morals if he
not exasperaed in measure by the attitude of the
Occidental to his people, He says that we have gathered
knowledge of the life and morals of the
Japanese from "The Mikado" "The Geisha" and the
queer stories that have been told of Sir Edwin Arnold
We have believe that the Japanese woman is
toy with badly defined in the household and in
society," and the crudes possible ideas of dressing and
adjoining herself And those us to whom it is given to
write of Japan have been careful foster these mis-
taken ideas. We have taken the carcature for the por
trait and Japanese have perhaps fallen into the
with regard to We should dsabse ourselves
the idea that Pitt Sing is typical of the Japanese
= just Dr. Iyenaga and his countrynen should give
the belief that the show girl is the typical American
girl
1t will not be easy for Americans and Japanese to
agree standards of art and morals The fact we do
agree matters of business very much more to the
point We will not press the the Japanese if
they do not insist making the kmono the only
for and will try admit the beauty and
utility of the foureen-inch hairpin they will leave the
earrings alone.
