DEADLOCK MAY BE ELENGTHY.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 19.-But
one ballot was taken for United
States Senator today by the joint as
sembly of the Missouri legislature.
The result was 81 for Niedringhaus,
81 for Cockrell, for Ker9ns, Petty
john 3. Eighty six would have
elected today. Two senators and
two representatives were paired, and
representative Brown was absent on
account of illness. The only change
was Richardson voting for Pettyjohn
instead of Niedringhaus. The be-
lief prevails here that the deadlock
will not be broken very soon.

Opened about unchanged and dis
played firm undertone during the
first half of the session. There was
heavy selling of May wheat however
above 116 by commission houses for
outside account which prevented any
considerable advance in prices and
the constant outpouring from this
direction finally broke the market be-
low 116. After holding steady for a
few minutes, the selling pressure
spread to Chicago, prices here declin-
ing quickly to 1144 before. encounter
ing sufficient support to check the de-
cline and turn prices upward. On
the decline from 1151, the market
encountered numerous stop orders,
which served to further depress val
ues. The New York people and Ar
mour and Co. distributed buying or
ders literally through the pit during
the last Is minutes of the session,
causing a partiol rally. For some
days past we have advised the pur-
chase of wheat under 115. We con
tinue buliish at these prices.
Corn: Held within its usual mar
row range throughout the day. AS
has been the case for several days
past, there were heavy sales around
454 but on the other hand there was
abundant buying power on declines
below As cents which served to eff
fectually hold off any decline.

The Little Mother.

So exacting and fatiguing is the
role of Jessie, (The Little Mother) in
''The Fatal Wedding" which will be
the attraction at the opera house, Jan.
oath, next week, that Sullivan, Harris
& Woods have engaged the services
of two child artists, the Misses Gussie
Shires and Baby Keefe to interpret
the part. Each of these very young
women will alternate with the other
at the various performances, thus
giving each from four to five per-
formances a week, instead of the
usual nine. This character of "The
Little Mother" is one that appeals in
stantly to every feminine heart, and
to that fact may be ascribed much of
the success of this remarkable melo-
drama.

MORE STRIKES
IN RUSSIA
Seven Thousand Hemp ] EN-
plOyees Walk Out.
POLITICS SAID. TO BE CAUSE.

St. Petersburg, Jan. Following
the gigantic strike in the Baku oil
fields Yesterday, the result of which
caused an enormous waste of oil and
equipments, seven thousand employees
in big hemp factoryshere walked out
today on a strike. 1t is expected that
one hundred thousand employees will
be included in the strike inside of a
weeks time. All the railroad work
men are considering the advisability
of following the order set by the hemp
factory employees.
Orders have been issued to the
police by the government, not to use
their guns and swords, until all other
means of pacihcatlon have failed.
The belief is gaining very much
ground that the big strike isss political
rather than economic in character.
This belief is very strongly brought
out by recent political events Fin this

ASSOCIATION is FORMED
Oil Men Make Preparation to Fight
Standard Monopoly

Topeka, KS. Jan. 19.-0ne hui -dred
and fifty oil producers representing
the Kansas Oil fields formed the
Kansas Oil Producers Association
here today, and united upon ten
specific demands on the legislature to
furnish relief from the Standard Oil
company. The meeting marks the
opening of a severe fight on the
monopoly. The resolutions adopted
call for a state refinery with a
capacity of five thousand barrels, and
laws making the pipe lines common
carriers, fixing maximum freight rates
on oil, penalizing oil sold cheaper in
one part of the state than another,
and calling for an appointment of a
Board of Overseers for the grading
of oil and other matters. Another re
solution was passed in which Gov
ernor Hoch was thanked for advoCat
ing a state refinery.

MILLENNIUM MAKERS.
]. N. Lewis, of Houston Tex. Post. Des-
crbes Them in Blank Verse.

Behold the country editor and
envy him his lot; the graft he worketh
ev'ry day; the cinch that he hath got.
The best things of the earth he hath
delivered on the spot.
He getteth on subscription things
for which all others pay; when he runs
out of turnip greens he gets load of
hay; when that he needs a pair of
pants he getteth bouquet.
When winter comes and winds blow
cold and he is needing wood, doth he
go where through wintry blast the
tall gaunt trees have stood? NAY, a
subscriber calls and he's a straw chat
to the good.
Does he e'er pine for the: where
with to wet his whistle up? Long for
the evanescent joys that lurk within
the cup? AS like as not some one
comes in and leaves bride pup.
He hath his young ones, yes, of
course, the little mouths to feed;
when that his little Johnny wants a
dappled rocking steed, he getteth
straight, homegrown bunch known
as the '' noxious weed"
When that he needs an undershirt,
or goes barefoot for shoes, and hath
no coat to shelter him, at least Ithat's
fit to use, a good samaritan prizes loose
and sends jug of booze.
He gets free passes to all shows in
opera house or tent; free passes for
himself and wife-they cost him not a
cent. In such round of joyousness
is his whole lifetime spent.
He never needs for bolts and bars.
deposit vaults or locks; no thief
breaks in to break his head and bear
away his rocks; he need not stay
awake to guard his only pair of socks.
That he wears trousers frazzled
out in whiskers at the legs, that he
hath but one pair of hose to cover up
! his pegs, is just because subscribers
brought an overplus of eggs.
His shirt is torn in front and back;
he's sunburned on his spine; through
tatters o'er his abdomen he hears the
breezes whine; he drinketh Waterfront
the pump whilst other men drink
wine.
He giveth advertising} space to
make the old town grow; he tells oI
births and balls and routs, and weeps
DER ev'ry woe; and prints each week
each townsmans name a dozen. times
or so.
All this to gain his selfish ends
each line and rule and dash is part OF
one nefaricus scheme he hopes with
purpose brash to build the town uE
so sometime he'll get his pay in cash
