Weekly Market Report

from Chicago were liberal. May corn
opened unchanged to an eighth higher
at 46@47c, and for a time held at this
figure.
The market in oats was easy. The
feature of the market was continued
liquidation by prominent bull. May
oats were shade to an eighth lower
at 81 5-8@31 ga to 81 ga and sold
at 81 sc and then advanced to 81 3s4
OBJ rs.
More than 100000 bushels of corn
have been shipped from the elevators
in this city during the last two days
and this fact was the basis of an act
i've demand by shorts and commits
sion houses that resulted in firm
corn market for the greater part of
the day. Minor influences that streng-
thened prices were small local receipts
firm cables and the strength of wheat.
Late in the session the market eased
off on profit taking. The close was
steady, with prices very close to the
closing quotations of yesterday.
Despite the strength in corn and
wheat, the oats market was barely
steady throughout the day. The de-
mand was light and conditions con-
tinued favorable for seeding, causing
free selling by prominent bulls.
Provisions were firm early in the
day on firm general demand, based
on a. S cent advance in the price of
live hogs. Later the market eased
off on profit-taking by a prominent
bull. The close was steady.

ALCOHOL BETTER THAN
KEROSENE OR GASOLINE
Gives More Light and Heat-Extin-
uuishabie With Water.

Washington-Chai Payne of the
ways and means committee today sub
mitted the report of the committee
favoring the passage Of the free alcohol
bill.
In Germany" Mr.. Payne said, "the
bulk of the denatured alcohol is used
for light, fuel and heat They use a
lamp with a mantle which produces a
very strong, steady and high-grade
light lasting twice as long as kero-
sene. The Germans have also adapted
gasoline engines to the use Of alcohol
Another advantage of alcohol is
that in case of fire, water may be
used to quench it, as it mixes with
the alcohol and puts out the fire,
whereas it cimply spreads a gasoline
fire. Alcohol, he said, 'will produce
10 per cent more power than gaso-
line"
For heating" Chairman Payne said,
''alcohol has proved an entire success
in Germany, and there is no doubt that
alcohol heating stoves will be put into
immediate use" He estimated the &C.
tual cost of alcohol at something less
than II cents gallon.

THE SUN SPOKE TOO SOON

The attempt, by means of a distor-
ton of chronology, to misrepresent
the president as excitedly telegraph
ing to Manila that the indiscriminate
killing of men, women and children
was brilliant feat of arms, honor
able to the flag, is nothing short of in
famous.-New York Sun
1t was grossly unfair, and only
few newspapers in the country per-
mitted themselves to do it. All the
greater lily that with the full official
account of the deplorable slaughter
of women in his hand he could think
only of the "brilliancy" of the troops
works, which he had openly compli
mented before he knew of the actual
details of the tragedy. 1t is error of
the gravest sort to suppose that even
those who believe our presence in the
island carries with it often stern mill
tary duty, can feel exultation over
such an incident. 1t is not an honor

OLIVE OIL COMPLEXION CURE
English Beauties Find That 1t Will

with it; eat it; drink it; dress your

AS the result of following this ad-
vice the woman in question achieved
her desired clear SKIN. Then she be-
gan to give beauty luncheons in which
olive oil was very prominent, and
these luncheons became popular.

less lends ITSELF" the periodical ex-

A WAR FOR CIVILIZATION

When civilization proceeds "to stag
ger humanity" it calls in Francisco
PizarrO or "Hell-roaring Jake" Smith,
fernando Cortez or Leonard Wood
all experts at the business. 1t is
an old trade. Ahab practiced it on
Naboth. the Jezreelite, and the Lord
wreaked vengeance on that same plat.
The king ordered TIE Deum for Cor
tez's victory the president congrat-
ulated Wood on his victory"
We have always believed that the
American people will put an end to
the Philippine question whenever they
shall be given a good lick at it I'M
incumbered with any other political
question. 1t is un-American, unrepub
lican, undemocratic-this thing of
holding people in subsection on the
other side of the planet. Our country
has tolerated it; never approved it.
"Heli-roaring Jake" Smith shocked
all Christendom when he made procla-
nation to kill everybody over ten
years old. If the question could have
been made paramount at the succeed
ing election, we would have been out
of the thing by this time General
Wood says the latest butchery of men
and women was because they fought
SO fiercely; and yet they killed but
sixteen of his men, while he killed
600 of theirs.
The fact is that General Wood is
civilizing the Moros on the idea that
there are no good Moros but dead
ones. That is the way Claus Marius
performed when he was down in Jul
gurtha's country. Lucullus, POmpey
the Great, Crassus, Vespasian, Titus,
Trajan. and one hundred Caesars act
ed on the same principle. We have
man proconsul before the birth of
Christ acted precisely as General
Wood acts nearly two thousand years
after Christ expired on the cross for
Moro as we'll as for American.
There is no authority in the consti
tuition to shoot civilization into saw
ages on the other hemisphere. If it
must be done, there are empires and
kingdoms over there that believe in
it and are accustomed to it. Let them
do it. If we can not govern the
Moros without numbering women bet
ter that we withdraw and let them
govern themselves.
Evidently General Wood is man
after the order of STAFFORD, and be-
lieyes in Thorough" Neither Pizarro
nor Cortez could have done 1t more
signally than he Indeed, General
Wood gave us in the shambles what

lamation. Washington, D. c.

HOW ARMY MEN FEEL ABOUT 1T
washington Dispatch to the New
York Evening Post)

Army officers who have fought in
the Philippines tell their friends that
they have lost heart in such enter
prises. Killing sayages is not very
pleasant business, nor one, they feel,
rejecting glory and honor upon the
profession of arms. Some of the off
GERS stationed here have received the
news of the fight with heavy hearts.
Fighting in the Moro country they
know is not child's play, but it is no
worse than the Indian campaigns that
the elder officers went through, and
the indiscriminate killing is difficult
to explain. Report of a fight shows

THE COAL SITUATION.

There is too much prosperity in this
country. The railroads are unable to
handle the traffic, or rather provide
cars. Herald readers have been told
of shortage of coal in the mining
camps, especially in and around Sill
yerton The statement has been made
several times that this shortage was
due to large extent by the railroads
confiscating coal. 1t is said that only
twenty-three cars have been confis-
Gated. Even this would relieve the
distress at Silverton and Telluride
where a party informed the Herald
over the phone this afternoon that he
did not have pound of soft coal in
his house. But the main trouble has
not been confiscation, but rather lack
of cars and facilities for getting the
coal to market. A reporter stepped
into the Porter coal office about noon
and overheard the management con-
versing over the phone with Superin-
tendent Meldrum's office and asking
that cars be hurried to the mine, that
tle COMPANY WAS Dtuly handicapped
by shortage of cars. and it developed
later that the force at Porter had to
be laid off this afternoon because
there were no cars to load This
same thing happened Saturday when
the entire force was laid off all day.
The company promised to get cars
there in the morning, but not an
empty until late at night, thus an en-
tire day was lost when ten cars could
have been loaded in addition to the
cars on hand. Thus, within three days
this one mine could have sent out
twenty cars more of coal had the road
been able to supply them.
The facts are, the road is swamped
with business which is constantly in
creasing and is fine illustration of
the necessity of a broad gauge sys-
TEN and we sincerely trust the Rio
Grande management will loose no
time in making the change
