THEY GIVE UP FIGHT.
Western Railroads Now Ready to Drop
New Bill of adinn

NSW 0Iu OF IaQln9s
Chicago, Dec. 14.-The hearing be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion of the complaints of the shippers
against the adoption of the uniform
bill of lading will be resumed at Wash
ington next Thursday. The result of
the investigation at Chicago has been
unsatisfactory to the railroads, and
they expect. to make better showing
at the next season.
So far as the western railroads are
concerned, they are ready to give up
the fight and they have decided that
for the present nothing should be done
to enforce the new bill of lading in
western territory. The eastern roads
are reluctant to retract from the posi-
ton they have taken until they have
had another chance to get more of
their side of the case before the COM
mission. While they do not expect to
be able to put in the new bill of lading
in it's present shape, they are hopeful
of bringing about compromise that
will eliminate the features most OBJ
iectionable to the shippers.
1t is believed that II the worn mon
negotiable" is stricken from the new
bill of lading and a few other minor
changes made, the shippers will cease
further opposition and acquiesce in
the action of the railroads.

Better Grades Continue Firm,
But Poorer Lots Show the
Usual Weakness
HOGS ARE A SHADE LOWER
Yesterdays Average in Hogs Was
MaintainedI But Market Was
Trifle Lower-BuIk Of Sales $40 to

Larger supplies-Demand Active.

Chicago, Dec. 14-Cattle trade start
ed off fairly active with prices show
ing the usual firmness for the better
classes. There is the usual weakness
and slowness for thin and half fat lots.
Native butcher stock is fairly active at
unchanged prices.
There were very few fat kinds here
yesterday and only a. load or two of
finished steers, and these went in good
season, with prices ranking well with
Monday. Buying was principally by
the local concerns, and orders from
this source were very Indifferent, lib
eral run being anticipated for today's
market and buyers held off, awaiting
the coming offerings.
Hogs.
There was a fairly active demand at
about yesterdays average prices to a
shade lower, with the bulk Of sales at
s4.40@4.45.
Shippers in town this week are
unanimously Of the opinion that hogs
will be held in feed lots when Chicago
hits such low spots as were developed
by last weeks big run. While the low
spot Of last year, when Armour took
out a drove at $4.19, has not yet been
reached, market talent is generally OF
| the opinion that the cheap droves OF
| this packing season have been put up
! Shippers, are, however, taking nj
chances Of being caught in further de-
clines and refuse to buy in the country
at price that does not insure 40
| cent shining margin
Sheep.
| The continued boom in prices is at
| tracing larger supplies to the market,
and today there was an active demand
with prices higher than ever.
"It surely seems the most ridiculous
| folly for farmers and feeders to be
sending In lambs or sheep in a half
fat condition. Nothing can prevent
much higher prices than have yet beer
paid for both classes, and a feeding OF
thirty to fifty days more on this stock
means better profits than anything
know Of" said one Of the biggest
sheepmen in the business.
There are nearly 100000 lambs in
northern Colorado, fattening for the
winter and spring markets. Place a
longside of this the fact that lambs
were recently bought for $3.50 per head
and are already worth $410, and the
margin which the Colorado farmer Is
| going to make is seen to be a large
one, suggests the Denver Record
1 Stockman. AS a single instance, one
Eaton farmer bought $500 lambs and
| sold them ait an average profit of 81
cents head. The season for pur-
chasing lambs is October and the fall
months. The selling season will sooi
be here and will reach a climax in the
spring, and the movement of stock and
money occasioned by the lamb industry
will be an enormous one.

Special to Times-Republicah.
Allison, Dec. 14.-The jury in the
case Of Wheeler charged with attempt
to MAIN Mrs. Parnie Ramsey OF
Clarksville, returned verdict of guilty
late last evening. Judge Clyde will
pass sentence next Monday morning,
at which time notice will be filed for a
new trial.
The states evidence was finished
Monday morning. and Wheeler placed
on the stand by the defense. He made
an excellent witness for himself, SEEM
ed very cool and answered all ques-
tons readily. He fatty contradicted
| the evidence Of Sheriff johnson, j. r
Mott, and in fact all the material wit
nesses whose evidence was taken by
the state. He claimed that the near
est place he was to Mrs. Ramsey's
home on the night Of the assault, was
within a block of the Leete building
| in Clarksville. He also claimed that
the substance found in his room was
not Lewis I've, but an extract which
was being prepared by him from corr
cobs and rock salt for the purpose OF
removing lumpy jaw from cattle. Vet
| Urinary Brown, witness for the de-
| Tense, also testified as to the strength
of this substance, stating that it would
eat a hole in paper in a few seconds
time.
The defense also produced I. E. Ben.
nett and w. S. Smith, who gave evil
dence regarding the construction of the
bottle which Wheeler claimed to have
found and which is considered one O.
the important links in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence.
A number Of the prominent residents
Of GAINESVILLE also testified as t.
Wheeler's former good character.
/ The main contention of the defense
was that the state had not identified
the defendant as being the perpetratol
of the crime, and further strongly con.
tended that the state had completed.
failed to show any motive on the par
of Wheeler for the commission of the
crime.
1 c. G. Burling and his associate, G. A
Mcintyre, county attorney, conducted
the case with the utmost skill. Theil
arguments before the jury, each oc
cupying three hours, gave a full review
of the case, and presented the state:
side in a forceful manner.
/ Attorney e. A. Sager Of Waverly
made the only argument for the de-
Tense, his partner, Hon. Burton e
Sweet, having been called away by the
illness and death Of his father. Mr.
Sagers argument was long, and was :
