Hog prices have about hit the bot

to begin a gradual rise than to drop
lower. says the National Provisioner.
The big runs of the past few weeks
have reached the limit The source of
supply could not maintain such heavy
runs; much less relatively increase
them. Pork has had few friends late
ly and the stocks of fat stuff are ac-
cumulating and piling up. This. fact
has helped to press down the price OF
hogs. This factor has no additional
bearish power The hog runs will soon
diminish therefore, and the live hog
market will respond.

BRAVE DEED OF GIRL
Jump. in Front Of an Enrased Boy and
by Her Act Probably Saved the Life
Of the Man Whom the Boy Was
About to Attack.

oskaloosa, Dec. 29.-Miss Mollie
Strohmeier, daughter Of Charles Stroh-
meier, proved quite a heroine yesterday
Afternoon, and saved p. H. Reaser, an
empoye Of the Strohmeier market,
from a serious injury and possibly
death. Inky" Jones, a colored lad en-
ployed by Strohmeier for errand and
shop boy attacked Reaser, making an
assault upon him with a large cut
ting knife which he picked up from a
meat block. Reaser was unarmed and
without means of defense. Jones was
making for him when the girl stepped
fearlessly in front Of the enraged boy
and called to him to lay the knife down.
Jones was astonished for moment by
the act of the girl and he could get no
further toward Reaser, as she had plac-
ed herself squarely between the COM
batants. Jones, however, stepped aside
and made for Reaser second time,
and had the boy been able to get at the
man there is no question but that he
would have cut him. The boy was
crazy drunk and had no reason left
AS he made for Reaser a second time
Miss Strohmeier again placed herself
between the two at the risk Of her
own safety. This time she made
short work of the colored lad. She
took the knife away from him., and
placed him on the defensive to the
extent that the lad ran into the rear
room. Here he swallowed a part Of
the contents of a bottle, and returned
and said that he had taken poison,
and would end it all anyway The
lad was soon in commissions, and he
roic measures had to be resorted to
by DR.. Windle, who was called, and
who was soon at the scene of the
trouble. The boy was taken to the
home of his father on North Fifth
street and the usual remedies in such
cases were applied with success, and
the how came out all right

WOMAN KILLED BY TRAIN.
Mrs. Christina vomachka, of Cedar
Rapids, Run Down.


Rapids, Run Down.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 29.-ITramping a
mong the switch tracks in the packing
house yards, and picking UP stray bits
Of coal out of the snow banks, Mrs.
Christina Vomachka was struck by a
freight car yesterday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock and died at Mercy hospital less
than two hours later. She was sis
ter-in-law of Mrs. Fannie Polesny who
was killed the same way in the same
yards last week. while gathering cobs.
Mrs. Polesny had both her arms cut of
by the cars. her sister Law, Mrs.
Vomachl1a was ever more unfortunate.
The string of cars passed over her hips
and she was fearfully mangled. The
wonder is that she lived to reach the
hospital.
It was bitter cold afternoon down
in the yards. and Mrs. Vomachka wore
a Bohemian shawl over her ears, as
she trugged thru the snow and over
the tracks looking for bits Of coal to
take home. An engine was switching
cars and kicked OUT some cars, which
ran down and struck the woman. At
ter she was struck the police station
was notified and the ambulance re-
sponded promptly. She was taken to
the hospital, but nothing could be done
to save her.. She lived at 1887 South

The Storm at Sioux City.

Sioux City, Dec. 29-Driven by a
relentless, forty -mfle gale from the
northwest, q blizzard ragged here all
night. The snow was preceded by sleet
which coated the streets and made
travelling and street car traffic very
difficult The ice also put most of the
telegraph and telephone companies out
of commission. A 7-below-z zero tenn
perature was hammered into the air
Tuesday forenoon by the wind and it
for five years.
The storm stopped suddenly the work
Of removing the ruins Of last Fridays
fire, and, altho three days have passed,
five streets are yet blocked. street cars
being compelled to run on irregular
routes Tuesday was devoted to re-
covering safes, nearly all Of which were
found to contain well-preserved books
and money The City National and
First National banks recovered all
their goods, together with about $780,
900 in cash, and have reopened for bus
mess in new quarters.
The walls of the seven story Toy
building were pulled down by ropes at
Is o'clock Tuesday evening, filing
Fourth street with great heaps Of deb
ris which will require days for remov-
al.
1t was Minneapolis disastrous exper-
fence with fire walls that induced
Mayor Sears to take immediate steps
to have all walls torn down at once.
The most remarkable story of hero
ism in Friday nights fire was made
public today and as result subscrlp-
ton paper is being circulated for Gus
Berg, fireman. and Adds Bell. an ell
evator boy The two dragged hose
to the roof of the seven-story Metro
politan block when it's outside wood
work had been ignited. One sat on
the others legs for two hours SO the
hose could be held out and the front
drenched.
This alone saved the block from
burning, which would have carried the
fire across Fourth street and probably
doubled the loss.

Washington County Farmer Dies From
Effects Of Railway Accident.
Special to Times Republican.
Washington. Dec. 29.--Charles Ny
ers, farmer of Franklin township,
died at $40 last evening MS u result
Of injuries received by being struck
by a train Tuesday morning. HIS
right arm was broken and back in
internal injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Myers were on their
way to the Ed Jackson home, Mes
danes Meyers and Jackson being sis
tiers, where they were to take dinner.
They were in a top buggy with the
side curtains on and did not hear the
approaching train until they were on
the crossing, about three miles west Of
town. They attempted to whip up the
horses, but were too late, the cow
catcher striking the rear wheels OF the
buggy, and throwing 1t to one side. Mr..
Myers was thrown out and struck the
cattle guard fence, sustaining the in
juries noted above. Mrs. Myers was
not thrown entirely out of the buggy
and succeeded In stopping the. team
after they had run few rods. She was
not injured.
Mr.. Myers was picked up, placed
on the train and brought to Washing
ton, accompanied by his wife. He
was placed on stretcher and taken
to the B. f. Dixon home where the
surgeons set his arm and made him as
comfortable as possible, but the shock
was too great and he sank rapidly
during the afternoon.

PRAISE H|LL' 5 METHODS
Hi. efforts to Build Up a Great
Oriental Trade Likely to
Prove Success
cAReoEs FOR THE ORIENT
cAReoEs FOR THE ORIENT
Critics of His Project Of Building Big
Ships to Carry Transcontinental
Traffic to Farther Shores Of the Pa.
cific Beginning to Realize Its I'm
portance.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 29.-Everything
for the moment at least, promises sue
cess to J. j. Hills efforts to build up
great oriental trade in connection with
the transcontinental traffic of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads. His big steamer, the Minnesota,
which is the largest vessel ever seen
on the Pacific, will leave Seattle Jan
uary 20, with her first cargo for the
orient. Already full cargo has been
secured, and there can be no reasonable
doubt that when sailing time arrives
there will be available freight far be-
yond the steamers capacity.
Critics of Hills methods have never
tired of asserting that in building such
ships as the Minnesota and Dakota for
road man had overreached himself and
that his venture in ocean transporta-
ton was sure to detract from the brill.
liancy Of honors which were undenia-
bly, his as the pioneer In scientific rail-
reading. The ships, 1t was contended,
were entirely too large for any posi-
BILE requirements Of the trade to which
they were designed to cater, but the
fact that a month ahead Of sailing time
a full cargo awaits the Minnesota indi-
Gates that Mr. Hills Judgment is as
accurate in measuring possibilities for
trans-Pacific trade as it was in regard
to the development Of the northwest
when in spite Of hostile criticism he
pursued his purpose OF building up
the Great Northern thru the encour-
agement of business by cheap trans
portation.
This policy was revolutionary and
accomplished revolution in rail bus
mess, and 1t will be interesting to
watch whether we are not just at the
beginning of similar revolution in
trans-Pacific business. If so the two
achievements will complement each
other and there will be an increase in
trade with the orient such as has not
heretofore been thought of by many
people. The boats are big, but so are
the possibilities, and Mr.. Hill thinks
the latter are much the bigger Of the
two.
MI. Hill is not SatlSned with at
tempts to extend oriental trade; he is
also operating in the direction Of
northwestern Canada and extensions of
the Great Northern are soon to be built
into that territory. There are six
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
lines leading up and stopping just
short of the boundary in Minnesota
and North Dakota and the story is
that three Of these lines will be ex-
tended into the heart of the wheat
country of Manitoba and Asslniboia.
The drawback ruling Of Secretary
Shaw will take wheat from Canadian
Pacific, but the 800" will get 1t I'M
der present conditions. He believes
much Canadian wheat will come to
Minneapolis every seGson, and wants
the business.

THE CATTLE SITUATION.
New Mexican Newspaper Predicts Big
Demand.


Demand.
That cattle will be In good demand
from now on for spring delivery is an
assured fact and that right here In Lu-
ma county there are plenty of Is, rs and
3s, all in good condition, Is also an as
sured fact, so that. with the right eff
forts put forth on the part of our cat
tie raisers. there need be no cause for
a cry of poor prices another year, re-
marks the Deming IN. ND Headlight.
Several of our largest cattle raisers
have already received letters from buy
ers in Colorado. Kansas and other
parts of the country where cattle are
ever In most demand, and in every
instance the writer's seem most anx-
ious to make contracts at this time
for delivery. most of them specifying
April and May as the time when they
will be ready to receive.
The editor Of the Headlight has IN
his hands letter from gentleman IN
Colorado who yearly buys In large
quantities, in which he says: IF you
write me favorably l will be there In
a short time and II we should deal will
make liberal payment at once on con-
tract for May delivery" This man
writes that he wants from 5000 to s.
600 Is and 3s Such letters as the
above is quoted from are Of almost
daily occurrence in this section. and II
our stockmen don't get scared off, as
they have, or at least some of them In
the past and because some fellow
comes among them who Is here to bear
the market and tells them all kinds OF
doleful tales about there being no sale
for cattle and such rot. until they per-
suade some of the weaker ones to sell
at a low price, and so get their wedge
in and start the prices down-we say
If one and all will hold for a good
price and stand pat until they bring
the buyers to terms they will get good
prices.
Stockmen thru this section of the
country have been for years past en-
gagged in grading their cattle up to
standard that would bring top prices
on the market, and they now have
color. size, bone. and In fact all of the
points necessary to make good cattle.
We have witnessed in times past the
shipment of between 500 and 60O mead
OF cattle from the yards In this city, all
from the ranches of one cattleman not
over thirty five miles from here, that
were as good as any we saw In the
feed mems or pastures In the east.
That prices will be for the coming
year what they were a few years past
we do not believe, nor do we think
that they will be down to what many
sold for last year. Don't be in hurry
to sell until such time as you are sat
isfed that you are getting the top
price for good cattle, is what we ad-
wise.

William Miller, among Iowa's best

specially of having cattle in good, fat
condition, sold here yesterday two
loads of LAOS lb grades at 1915. He
shipped them from his feed lot at
Vinton.
Henry Eichhorn, wyoming. Ia, had
on Wednesdays market Is cattle
which averaged 1,457 Lbs, and sold at
$3.50.
N. Hoist, Onslow, Ia, was here with
So steers. averaging 1884 lbs that
sold at $575.
F. E. Moravec, Oxford Junction, was
on the market yesterday with a ship
ment of heavy cattle of his own feed
ing and was much pleased with the
price obtained. The supply of fat cat
tie and marketable hogs is reported
rather small in that locality.
