of dairying. Lectures will be delivered
by experts from this and other states.
The Illinois Livestock Breeders as
sociation will convene during the last
days of the Corn Growers and Stock
men association convention. This
was the plan adopted last year in order
that those who attend may get the
benefit TO be derived from all the
three meetings. The Live Stock
Breeders association is a growing and
powerful organization and it has ar
ranged to make its meetings the fea-
ture of the two weeks sessions.
The announcement of the above
meetings will give special Oppor-
tunity to the farmers of the state. 1t
gives them a chance to become ia
miliar with the work of expert
ment stations and to absorb the ideas
of the most advanced men in the vari-
Gus lines of agricultural work. 1t is al
so an opportune time for representa-
tives of the farming community to Wis
il the state university.

OUTSIDERS ARE
 DISAPPOINTED Went in With Buying Orders
 in Early Hours FAVORED WIDE ADVANCE Cotton Orders at New Orleans Suffi- cietnIy Strong to Absorb Every thing offered-BuIIs Thought

FAVORED WIDE ADVANCE

New Orleans, March 3.-The cotton mar ket offered big disappointment to the comparatively few outsiders who went into 1t with buying orders in the earlier hours. After an advance of 2S and 50 points in May and July, prices eased off toward the close, May closing one point higher than yesterday at 15.70, and July points higher at 1915.
 The session opened with everything fav- bring a wide advance. Liverpool cables were called sensationally favorable and the statistical position looked stronger than ever. Orders continued to be furn- ished almost wholly by professional traders, the public still holding aloof, but they were sufficient to overcome the liqui- dation and short selling of the earlier hours and send prices up until May touch- ed 1599, 30 points higher than yesterday g close At this point a mysterious selling power developed that eased prices off point by point for the remainder of the day.
 Bulls Quietly Unloading.
 It was finally decided by the general trade that the leading bulls were quietly unloading a part of their holdings. Buy Ing orders came in sufficiently strong to absorb everything offered. This was shown by the fact that prices made some improvement on the curb trading AL no time did prices go lower than lhe ciose ol yesterday This liquidation, wherever IL came from kept prices from making sem sational advances.
 What the liquidation on the part of the prominent long interests means, was question that was hard to answer at the close of the market The general idea was that longs were merely taking profits preparatory to getting in deeper than ever It was pointed out that a particular ly strong period had been picked out for profit-taking the strong demand for spots in the Liverpool market having an infiu- ence on prices in the local market all day.

 Scalpers were In their glory and caught the market both ways, fluctuations pelns fairly regular and wide. These who caught the swing reaped handsome pro fits. This class of operations helped swell the volume of trade which was remarka- bly, large.
 The spot market was quiet with the tone firm and prices higher in the earlier hours while the close was steady and unchang- ed. Sales amounted to 3075 bales. lack of offerings In the desirable grades and the fact that sellers would make no con sessions, restricted trading to great ex- tent

for many years an apostle of the church, though not in harmony with his asso- ciates. He remained in that position until finally removed by the apostles When asked the reasons for the differences of opinion between Thacher and the other apostles, MT. Smith said there were various courses.
 Was 1t because he desired to become candidate for senator?"
 For United States senator or something of that kind" answered the witness.
 The expression, 'something of that kind created amusement among the sen- ators present.
 MT, Taylor asked concerning James Tanner former president of the agrieul- tural college of Utah who 1t was stated resigned his position for the reason that the United States threatened to withdraw it's support on the ground the head of the school was polygamist MT. Smith said MT Tanner was a polygamist
 Request was made for the four books which had been described by MT. Smith as the standards of authority, saying that they would be needed in considering the case.
 But" interposed Senator Dillingham;. 'I suppose we can furnish our own Bibles?"
 Volunteered to Supply Them.
 MT. Smith volunteered to supply all the volumes himself, even the bibles, If the committee desired to have copies of that book.
 MT. Tayler devoted considerable atten- ton to discussion of the Mormon mar riage ceremonies. It was brought out that all high officials of the church and all of the elders are authorized to marry per sons and that such persons are registered in accordance with the state laws on that question.
 The celestial marriage. or the marriage for eternity, MT. Smith said. was one of the things the Mormon church believed in, but the practice had been in disuse for twenty years or more. This marriage was described one to carry two persons through heaven in happiness, and 1t often was performed when one party was dead, and sometimes when both parties were dead. Tn that event the relatives of the contracting parties represented them. When questioned closely. Mir. Smith ad mitted that a man and woman, both liv- ing. were sometimes married for "eter- nity."
 Mir TayIer concluded with Mir Smith and the defense will examine the wit nesses tomorrow

He found the child and secured
guardian for him. He said he had
adopted the boy when quite baby,
and wanted him well cared for. He
tried to persuade the lad to give some
other name than that which he had
always borne-Cliye Carrington--but
in vain. So he told the man in whose
care he left him that he had given the
little fellow his own name.
He was to be borught up in the be-
lief that he was an orphan, and when
old enough was to be found suitable
employment.
This done, my husband came home.
