A Sharp Advance In Prime
Light Weights Was Feature
of Today's Market
Prices for All Grades Were Mostly
Stronger to Cents Higher - Cattle
Supply Was insignificant Today and
Prices About Unchanged - Sheep
Higher.

Chicago, April 23.--Cattle-The sup
ply was insignificant today and prices
unchanged, closing nearly or quite as
high as week ago.
In spite of the big run Monday, the
weeks receipts are not filling Out
much above the average and the de-
mand has been such that there was d
pretty good clearance each day. Prices
now are on a level with week ago for
the light steers and the choice heavy
grades, but the plain heavy that lacked
quality sold weaker and are hardly as
high as a week ago. The shipping and
export inquiry was good all week, but
the most strength has been on the light
habitat cattle which short time ago
buyers did not seem to want. There is
much complaint among country ship
pers about the losses sustained n
feeding operations. and X does not
make much difference what condition
the cattle are in. only that in a general
sense the fatter they are the greater
the loss. 1t has been discouragins
year to most feeders.
Hogs.
A marked feature Of today's market
was q sharp advance in prime nights,
which sold close to the highest price
paid for best hogs of strong weight
Demand was active and prices gener-
ally stronger to higher.
Packers came into the trade yes
tepday rather freely and particularly
for light and mixed grades. some of the
former selling at prices slightly higher
than were paid Thursday. Shipping
orders also showed more strength in
the later hours. and the general mar
ket closed stronger. with all good
grades out of first hands.
Heavy hogs are becoming more I'M
popular every day and packers are not
disposed to buy them, except at a dis
count, bulk of the ordinary to good
packing droyes sold at $4.95 @5.o5. with
common and inferior lots at $3.50 q
$50.
Sheep.
Demand active at recently advanced
prices. wooded lambs being salabie at
5.5006.SO, clipped S.00@5.90 and clipped
sheep sold at 3.25 @5.a5, lambs. $500

SHARP BREAK IN WHEAT
Advent of Warm Spring Wealth
er the Signal For General
Selling
CLOSE WAS OVER A CENT DOWN
The Market Was Erratic Turnout and
There Was But Little Support to the
Market-Weakness in Wheat Had a
Depressing Effect on the Corn Mar
ket. Which Closed Lower.

Chicago, April 23.-.The advent OF
spring wea Their was the o,casion for
general selling of wheat today. Under
heavy selling pressure the market be-
came extremely weak, there being lit
tie support from any sources. May was
decidedly erratic, opening at loss OF

ceipts were 9s cars.
The market continued nervous thru
out the session. Covering by shorts
carried May to SIN; July advanced to
SSA. bur the close was, weak, with
May down l@plls at S7AGiS7ss. July
was, also off 1@lk, closing at SSss.
Corn.
Weakness in wheat had a depress-
Ing effect in the corn pit ard improved
weather conditions also helped create
a weak tone. July opened Y to Y to
&Gh lower at AIN to 47N. Covering
by shorts caused a rally to Asa 4sh,
but the price, declined to 47A @47B.
Receipts were Ill cars.
There was a fair demand for July
but the weakness of May prevented
any advance The close was weak.
July at 47A u net loss for the day OF

Fair demand from shorts with only
small offerings held oats steady at a
small decline July opened off 40 Is

steady at small decline. July opened
off 34@s to A@k at 35A to 35& and

small decline in provisions at the start,
but fair support from packers held the
market steady.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, April 23.-Parental OBJ
lection won the second round of its
battle with cupid when Clerk Colby
refused 10 issue marriage license t.
Edward Colligan and Hazel Arnold
Thursday morning. The young people
live near Manson and evidently have

runs smooth. Surely their love has
not. We inesday the girl, who lives on
a farm near the one occupied by Coli

went to Rockwell City. Fathers fore
sight hal proceeded them, however.
and whel they petitioned for the cupid
plaster the clerk politely but firmly in
formed the prospective groom that he
could not issue q license, as the father
OF the bride had telephoned him, claim
ing that the girl was under age. Moth
ing daullted, the young people waited
a day and then came to Fort Dodge.
That day was long enough for parental
objection to reach this far. The father
of the girl telephoned Clerk Colby
that she was under age and according
~ when the young people appeared for
the marriage license there was nothing
to do but refuse them.
The couple apparently were disap-
POINTED, but made no protestations.
They lett the office after being refus-
ed the license, and have not been
heard from since.

FAILED TO FIND COAL.
Prospecting at CARBON DISCONTINUED
After Much Effort Was Expended.

Special to Times Republican.
Corning, April 23.-The prospecting
hole for a deeper vein OF coal at Car
bon has been abandoned after a depth
of SIS feet had been reached. The
failure to find coal deeper than the
veins now being mined is a great dis
appointment to the people Of Adams
county as well as those OF Carbon
and vicinity. The fund for drilling the
hole was raised by subscription from
all over the county, and Corning BUSH
ness men contributed largely. 1t would
have meant a great deal for the future
prosperity of the county II a good vein
of coal could have been discovered,
and this failure will end all attempts
in this direction for a number of years

AMERICAN EAGLE TO RESCUE
Picture of National Bird in Consulate Routs Snake and Saves Life
 of Monkey.

A. l.. M. Gottschalk, the American consul at Guayaquil, Ecuador, tells a good story about the difficulties he has had to keep monkey on the consulate premises, because of the depredations of the boa -constrictors, says the Mex tcan Herald. The big reptiles have failing for monkeys, and these agile little pets must keep constant lookout for them. If Jocko drops into doze, he is likely to wake up dead"
 On the occasion with which the.s story deals, monkeys life was saved by the picture of the American eagle. The con- sulate sign all over the world is fine reproduction of the king of birds, in full color, and with outspread wings A new sign had just been received and was waiting on chair inside the room. A big boa-constrictor chased the house monkey across the yard and through the open window. Jocko was making 8 good race, but losing one. He was in the corner quaking with fear, and very near to deaths door, when his pursuer confronted the picture of the eagle and its menacing attitude. A snake fears eagles even more than it craves mon- keys, and that particular reptile turned tail and went out of the window as quickly as if the devil was after it. That monkey was smart monkey, and now, whenever it wants to take nap, it goes to roost over the picture of the eagle.

A SEVEN WIFE RELIGION.
Young Russians Oppose Doctrines of Former Doukhobor and Mob
 His Followers.

A Doukhobor named Vazoff, who was disappointed with the doings of hi. fanatical sect in Canada, and returned to Russia, has just been arrested and sent to prison, wires the Moscow cor- respondent of the London Express. Vo- zoff aspired to be the Joseph Smith of Russian Morrnonism. Having quarrel ed with the Canadian Doukhobors, he returned surreptitiously to his native country, boasting that he would found sect ten times as numerous as theirs. Arriving at Odessa he tramped fnl"u announcing to the peasants new rev. elation, according to which all true Christians were in future to have seven wives, "as was the case with the good Canadians" The villagers of Ilovo passed a resolution accepting Vazoff's doctrines, but when the mayor, his two sons and seven or eight rich peasants put the tenets of the new religion into practice there was loud outcry, and the young men of the district raided the mayors house and nearly killed his sons. Vazoff fled, but was pursued to neighboring village, where he was captured while haranguing the moujiks on the virtues of polygamy.

PLUcKY RUSSIAN CRUISER.
Burned, Sunk, Blown Up and Shelled, Yet Muscovite Man-of-War
 Is Still Fighting.

I have been following with great in- terest the checkered career of one of the Russian cruisers, says writer in Lon don Sketch.
 When the war started, 1t caught fire, was beached, and burned to the water line, with much loss of gallant lives.
 A week or so later, it went cruising again, struck a submerged mine, and was blown up with loss of all on board; but the survivors managedito to steer it to Dalny, where it lay for long time, a compound wreck.
 Nothing daunted, it put to sea again and led the attack on Admiral Togo's squadron. Seventy-four shells struck the devoted vessel in parts that were unarmored, but her captain would not be gainsaid, and pursued the Japanese fleet, which was not retreating, until he was recalled. Ha
 Since then the Russian government has admitted that the cruiser is a total wreck, but she will be ready to join the fighting squadron again before these lines are in print @
