PRICE FIVE CENTS.
WEEKLY STOCK YARDS LETTER

Pasture reports received here dur
ing the past week from all over
the range country and the cattle
raising farming districts are fiat
tering. Plentiful rains have put
the pastures in good condition and
no fears of a-shortage of grass are
expressed from any point.
\ speculative factor which is
entering into the markets at all
points is the bullish condition of
the wheat crop. So long as a
week ago today predictions were
strong that the government re-
port, issued yesterday, would show
a sensational condition of this ce-
real and commission men here,
receiving these reports, have ex.
pressed sentiments that the rise
in wheat values that is certain to
occur will take beef prices up in
sympathy.
The rate situation has become
somewhat eased during the week.
The railroad agreement arrived at
last Thursday, previous to the
date of last weeks correspondence,
establishes Omaha on a par with
Kansas City, so far as rates to
Chicago are concerned. But the
grain men of Omaha are still de-
claring that the new rates do not
give Nebraska shippers equal fav-
or to that received by Iowa ship
pers The Nebraska rates are alb
normally higher than they are in
Iowa and the Omaha and South
Omaha grain and livestock men
will continue hammering at the
rate question until Nebraska has as
low rates as any other state. They
are now receiving much support
from interior points, but it will
require general agitation to bring
about the reduction of railroad
tariffs from their present high
basis.
j. A. Smith of Mead, Neb., who
has been here with stock, says
that his present shipment cleans
the cattle in his district and
no more will be shipped from
there this season Similar re-
ports are made by shippers from
localities aud it is anticipat-
that the consequent decrease
in supply will bring up prices
somewhat. Concerning market
conditions at South Omaha. James
Dahlman, president of the
American Commission Co, SAYS:
There is a strong demand for the
better grades of stockers and feed
ers and a scarcity in the supply
of this line is apparent. Every
thing that is really good is snap
ped up by the buyers here and
they look for more each day.
Cattle receipts for the week
not been heavy as compared
previous weeks and with
the same period "A year ago, but as
the demand is slackening, prices
shown a downward ten
.ency.
"We do not think however,
all present prospects, that
this downward course can long
continue. The predicted scarcity
of cereal foods is certain to in
crease the demand for meat sup
and prices must follow the
demand.
"The hog and sheep markets
have moved in sympathy with
the cattle market and the APP
proach of summer weather will
probably occasion more falling
off in the demand. Feeders about
here are not discouraged with
their experiences of the past year
however, and inform us that from
the present outlook they believe
good profits will be derived from
feeding the coming season. This
is our belief also and we look for
profits for the stock raiser
this fall"

ments were served, was beautiful
ly appointed. the color scheme
being in red, with rich stream
ers of ribbon of that hue, running
from the center to the edge, where

flowers of the same color, then
falling in loops over the white
linen almost to the floor. This

with a tall cut glass vase in the

a Newport bird fancier.

the bird such severe punishment If a

TROOP OUT OF SERVICE
LAST ACT PERFORMED LAST
 NIGHT.
Captain E. F. Baber, by Order of the Governor, Disbanded the Dis affected Montgomery Miii-
 tary Organization.

For friction in its membership. the Montgomery Mounted Rifles. Troop A, list cavalry. Alabama National Guard, was last night mustered out of the service of the State by Capt. E. F. Baber, IT,, of the Montgomery True Blues by order of Adjutant-General w. W. Brandon.
 For over a year Troop A has been in a state of disruption. The disaffection in the organization was caused by petition signed by thirty-five of the members ask ing the resignation of Capt. W. o. Gar side. The petitioners averred that Cap tain Garside was lacking in interest in the Troop and had ignored repeated re- quests for mounted drills.
 Contrary to the orders of the captain, according to Captain Garside, mounted drill was ordered by Lieutenant Charles E. Dexter, now captain and adjutant ot the Cavalry squadron.
 officer and melting men to a mutiny were brought against Lieutenant Dexter by Captain Garside. Charges were also preferred against a number of the men who petitioned his resignation.
 At the same time a petition was filed with the Governor to request the resigna- tion of Captain Garside for the good of the service by a number of members of the command.
 DUH WCTc ECLSAtCA tO N SpSSAhA courtmartial, composed of officers of the 2nd infantry.
 Lieutenant Dexter was acquitted and the court held that it had no Jurisdiction as to the petition for the resignation of Captain Garside.
 Last week an election was ordered in the troop to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lieutenant Dexter, who had been appointed adJutant of the bat talion.
 At this election. all present except elev- en men. were declared ineligible to vote on account of having 5igned the petition for Captain Garside's removal.
 Recognizing that the troop was in an inefficient state on account of the dis affection of its membership Major V. B. Atkins of Selma, commander of the squadron, recommended the mastering out of the troop. His recommendation was at once complied with by the Gov ernor and Adjutant General.
 Capt. E. F. Baber, Jr., was appointed musterng-out officer.
 Last night Captain Baber and Captain Garside checked over the arms, uniforms and accoutrements of the troop and Cap tain Baber formally announced that Troop A no longer existed. The entire ceremony did not consume five minutes.
 The Montgomery Mounted Rifles was organized in 1885 and was for years prominent factor in the Alabama militia. Its last officers were W. O. Garside, cap- tain: W. W. Walker. Jr.. first lieutenant; Thomas Robinson second lieutenant.

BISHOP ALLEN SPEAKS
DISTINGUISHED PRELATE AT
 ST. PETERS CHURCH.
Preached to c Large Congregation Last Night on Lenten Duties. Goes to Birmingham
 This Morning.

Bishop Edward P. Allen of Mobile. head of the Roman Catholic Church in Ala. bama, delivered an excellent sermon on the subject of penance, before a large au- dience in St. Peters Catholic Church last night. e-te
 The church was filled almost to its ca- pacity by the congregation to hear this learned man speak on a subject of church doctrine. They were not disappointed in his remarks
 Bishop Allen took as .-is text, ''FIe that would follow me. let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me-" He showed how self denial was modification of self and that modification was pen ance. He said that in the Homan days penance was practiced more than 1t is now and with greater fidelity in the church. The Christian religion was the only religion that practiced 1t at all. both now and in the past. Some people, he said. did not see the necessity of self-de- niai, and complained because the way to Heaven was strewn with thorns instead of flowers. The only way for man to gain Heaven was to follow in the footsteps of Christ. He said that Christ had not giv- en fasting and modification of self to mankind as a command, but as a pre- cept.
 In penance he. asserted the need of prayer, fasting and alms-giving. All through Scripture. he declared 1t was shown that the act of penance was loved by God and cited the passage of Scrip ture in which 1t says that there Is more rejoicing in Heaven over the redemption of one sinner than in the righteousness of ninety-nine who have not fallen away from the love of God. lie said that when mans soul had once been blackened with sin, penance was the only way of re- gaining the favor of God and that as a means of salvation, was necessary to mankind.
 ''Only those who do penance can call themselves true Christians" said Bishop Allen. Our Lord has told us that to fol- low in his footsteps. we must deny our selves, take up the cross and follow Him. Let us do at this time, all in our power to live up to the laws of fast in the Lem ten eeason."
 He went on to explain the moral and spiritual good that was to be derived from the strict observance of these laws.
 Bishop Allen talked interestingly on his subject for over a half hour. As speaker. his straightforward eloquence Is charming and his arguments are simple, forceful and convincing.
 Bishop Allen is handsome man of six feet or more. and is a fine specimen of physical manhood. He makes an impos- ing appearance on the altar in his Epis- copal robes.
 He arrived in Montgomery from Mobile Monday night. and was the guest of Fa- ther Dennis Savage while here. He will leave this morning for Birmingham. He Is paying a visit to the different parishes in the State, and will be in Mobile by Sunday.
