- HICAGO, jan 2o.-With losses in
the last month amounting to-
100000, egg dealers on South
Water street, who have on hand large
stocks of storage produce, faced a 10
cent market and prayed for blizzard
today.
The open weather thruout the coun-
try has brought a change all along
the street bordering on panic, and
unless cold weather comes Immediately

likely to be; pinched much worse. 4
Eggs that the dealers put into stor-
age during the summer months at
from II to 20 cents dozen sold today
for IL cents. From 100000 to 1,O0O,-
900 cases, containing thirty dozen each
the greatest amount on record-were
put into storage.
| Not once have the dealers been able
to sell the cold storage eggs at any
| thing like profit, and in the last ter
days the market has gone down from
1917 cents to II cents. Monday OF
Tuesday a. 10-cent market is not al
all unlikely. That will mean the egs
dealer will lose on an average 8 cents
a Dozen.
Men who know the market say tha
the average loss of to 5 cents \;
dozen can be charged against every
dozen eggs put into storage unless thu
weather changes soon. That means
loss of $1.20 to $3.50 a case. On
million cases the aggregate loss will
total between $1,200,000 and $780,

be able to weather the storm, but sew

shanty at the noon hour, he inquired
what were the prospects for getting

Thus encouraged the traveller dis

the food to be such that he could not
force himself to partake Of It. Making
such excuses as he could for lack OF
appetite, he happily bethought himself
Of kind Of nourishment that he might
venture to take there and one sure to
be found on farm. He asked for some
milk.

ers this morning dismissed from
the force Officers e. F. Walker
and ]. NJ. Pike. Both men were de-
clared guilty of INSTRUMENTATION in

old.
Both officers today announced

In regard to his remark about
Attorney Robertson DR.. Mcdowell
said he wished to make an apology
to Robertson, but the latter pre-
ferred to receive it outside the
court room, where they would be
on equal footing, he said.
AS a witness for the defense late
yesterday afternoon DR.. Semple
testified that after undergoing ply
steal examination for insanity in
the Jail yesterday Sidney Sloane
told him that he had killed his
father and could also kill his
mother without emorse If he
wanted to. DR.. Semple repeated
the boys confession regarding the
manner in which he performed the
deed with an ak, the details of
which have already been publish
ed. To the physician, however,
Sidney told little beyond the fact
that he committed the crime.
AS this testimony was given Mrs.
Sloane was shaken with grief and
many others in the court room,
visibly affected by the strange and
dramatic scene. Sidney Sloane sat
unmoved among them, apparently
the least concerned.
DR.. Samples testimony as non
expert in this particular was given
over the objection Of the state, Mr..
Barnhart holding that the medical
examination was made simply to
determine the boys mental condl-
ton. After hearing argument
Judge Huneke ruled that testimony
covering the Doctors conversation
with Sidney, II given as going to
form the doctors opinion Of the
boys sanity or insanity, was COM
petent evidence.
DR.. Semple was superintendent
of the Medical Lake asylum for
seven years.

told the doctor he thought he had
killed man in Wyoming. The
boy denied ever being drunk.
