The Chicago Record Herald says
that Emperor William chose happy
phrase when he congratulated the
University of Chicago on uniting
German and American men OF letters
"to celebrate the reciprocity OF rela-
tions between the sciences OF both
countries. 1t Is just such reciproci'
" which is symbOlized by the visit vi
the five German Savants as guests
OF the University and by the honors
which have been bestowed upon them
Ii is said these close relations have
existed between American and Ger

THE RESOLUTIONS.
Prospects That They Will Not Be
Ready Before Might.


ST. Louis, July 1.-THE sub-commit-
tee of the resolutions committee con-
tinued its work on the platform today.
Bryan and a few other members were
absent, but the committee decided to
proceed with consideration of ques-
lions in which they We're not especially
concerned. The plank declaring for the
election of senators by direct vote OF
the people agreed to; also a plank for
separate statehood for each territory.
The irrigation plank presented by
Newlands was tentatively accepted.
The prospect is the subcommittee will
mot be prepared to make a complete
report when the full committee assem-
bles this afternoon.
q. n. Cowen, of Fort Worth, Texas,
was admitted to present the following
proposed plank in the interest of the
cattle shippers:
I'VE favor such amendments of the
act to regulate commerce as Will af-
ford to the public and to shippers
speedy, adequate, effectual and mex
pensive remedy against the unreason-
able or otherwise unlawful transporta-
ton charges"
Bryan went direct from the conven-
ton after adjournment to the room o.
the committee on pla torn and i'm
mediately entered upon the work IN
hand there.
Shortly after noon the resolutions
committee entered upon consideration
of the questions of trusts and monop
olies, and Bryan made 4 strenuous plea
for reaffirmation OF the Kansas City
platform on this point.

Edward s. Cincebeaux was born and
reared in Springfield His parents have
been dead a number Of years and he
was raised by an uncle, Mr.. E. c..
Honchens. He began his newspaper
career in Springfield and some eight
years ago came to Peoria and obtained
position on the Peoria Evening
Times. which at that time was an af-
ternoon edition of the Transcript. He
was a fellow with a nose for news and
he gave the paper the best that there
was in him. When the Times was abb
sorbed with the Transcript and passed
into other hands he went back to
Springfield and eventually returned to
Peoria. For time he was advertising
agent of the Iowa Central railroad and
subsequently went to work on the
Peoria Journal. From there he went
to the Star, where he worked until a
few weeks ago and then became adj
vertising agent for the Sivley Excur-
sion Company. His wife had pre-
monition that something dangerous
would happen and endeavored to in
duce him to seek something else but
the opportunity offered good money
during the summer and he stuck to
it only to meet with death beneath the
wave as has already been narrated.

get him. They came up just at the
moment that his face appeared for the
second time, and they made dash to-
ward him. but the current had caught
him and swept him away. Givens saw
his face as 1t appeared FOR the third
and last time, and again he dived, but
the current was playing Il game of tag
with death and death won. Five times
both of these men dived in all, but
were unable to recover the body. Then
gra pnells were pressed into service,
and after the body had been in the
water for fifteen minutes it was re-
covered. DR.. Hayes, of the health de-
partment, was at once summoned, but
it was fifteen minutes after the body
had been taken out of the water that
he got there. In the meantime crude
efforts had been made toward resusci
tation, but without avail. When DR..
Hayes began to work upon him the
subject was really beyond mortal aid.
The doctor went to work heroically and
adopted all the methods known to sur
gical science to resuScitate the
drowned. While thus engaged DR.. Da-
Wis. Of South Adams street, came to his
assistance, and both physicians worked
with a will, but without avail. After
working nearly an hour the face of the
subject became blue, and then it was
known that all was over. handker-
chief was placed over the cold blue face
and over the whole body a tablecloth
was spread. The coroner was notified
and the remains We're removed to

there to be prepared for burial.

There Was a Good General De-
mand Today and Prices Ruled
Somewhat Stronger
MOST SALES ABOUT 10 HIGHER
Hogs Were in Fairly Large Supply for
the First Time This Week, Causing
Reaction, Prices Being Sc to 1oc
Down-sheep Were Firm and De-
mand Active.

Chicago, July 7.-Cattle-The general
demand today was better and prices
ruled stronger for the desirable of
ferings. Quite number of sales made
We're at 10 higher than Tuesday.
Though the market has had generally
better tone thus far this week there is
nothing in trade to indicate much OF a
permanent improvement in the demand
for cattle and all sellers advise none
but moderate marketing in the first
days of next week. Mondays holiday
made way for a lighter volume OF re-
ceipts this week, and the smaller Of
ferings have added better life to selling,
but such was badly needed and will
likely be snuffed out in the next few
days should arrivals pile up very heavy.
Hogs.
For the first time this week there
was fairly large supply, which
brought reaction, prices being SOLO
lower.
Nice smooth bacon hogs weighing
from 160 to $50 pounds, We're in urgent
demand, and will continue to sell at a
premium over the heavy weight. Buy
ers look for sharp reaction in hog
values at an early date. The marked
increase IN the weight of this weeks
arrivals partly confirms the impression
that the country has been confident
of a higher market, and where corn
has been available has held swine for
feeding purposes. Roppal & Company
are advising their customers that have
porcine goods, especially
heavy weights, that next week will be
a good time to exchange them for coin
of the realm.
Sheep.
Prices were firm and demand active
Spring lambs were in poor demand and
prices for range sheep showed sharp
advance.
