Mills Of Sound Are in The Market
For Grain.
EXPORTERS ARE UNABLE TO OPERATE
GENERAL COURSE OF THE MAR.
kET is ERRATIc-sLIGHTLY
STRENGTHENED.

In summing UP the conditions Of the
wheat market for the present week,
Orno Strong has this to say in the
West Coast Trade. a paper that he
publishes at Tacoma:
A good local demand continues to
exist for wheat. The mills are in the
market for moderate quantities, and
while their requirements are not large
the demand from that source is ade-
auate to cover the comparatively small
offerings available. Little, if any,
wheat is being bought for outside
sources now. Exporters are unable to
adequate, and for the further reason
that the Liverpool market would not
Justify the working of business upon
the basis of prices now prevailing in
the Pacific northwest. While the
range of values is comparatively mar
row. there is a gradual hardening ten
dency, and club has been marked up
a cent to re, while bluestem, for the
first time in several weeks, has drawn
ahead of the regular export variety
at 74c, the supply having become some
what lessened through the recent call
of no
ed amount of patent being manufac-
tured.
The crop condition is now very IA
vorable. 1t is probable that the grain
growing districts would welcome a lit
tie more rain, but for the present there
is no lack of moisture to carry the
wheat stand up to June, when the
growers are wont to have greater
fears of damage than during any other
month.
The general course Of the wheat
market is cratic, but on the whole
has strengthened about &c during the
week, due largely to weather condi-
tons. the low temperature in the
northwest and a lack of rain in many
of the winter wheat producing sec
tons, having a Strengthening effect
while the comparatively large decrease
in the visible market supply served to
hold the market steady in the face OF
increased estimates from the Argentine
crop, and liberal exports from other
countries in Europe.

ROOSEVELT IS WRONG.
Says Rev. Owen LOvejoy, in AdvOcat-
ing Big Families.

New York, Jan. 8.-President
Roosevelt's declaration in favor of big
families was discussed before. the New
Rochelle Peoples Forum Yesterday.
Rev. Owen r. Lovejoy, secretary of
the national child labor committee,
declared that except in special cases
the president was mistaken in pro-
mulgating such ideas among the
American people. Many men, he said,
were working today at the bench and
in the factory for less wages than
their fathers received for the same
amount of work, and it was costing
them more to live. Such men, he
said, if they were of a conscientious
type would hesitate at the response
bility of bringing children into the
world to struggle and toll for a bare
living without prospects of advance
ment.
Mr.. LOvejOy estimated the number
of children employed at manufactures
and mining in the United States at
two millions, which he said were far
too many. as they were crowding men
and women out of work and lowering
wages
He said that the national child labor
committee, in conjunction with the
National Consumers league, would go
to washington this winter to try to
have congress pass bill to esta blish
an additional child labor bureau which
would raise the condition of working
children to that of France and Ger
many.

REAL COLD SNAP.
Mercury Drops to Five Degrees This
Morning.

A we'll developed spell of winter
weather struck Topeka at 8 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon and the temperature
continued to drop until 8 O'Clock this
morning, when it changed its direc-
ton and has been slowly but steadily
climbing upward since.
The cold wave came as a surprise
to the local weather bureau, which
had no intimation that there would
be any great change in the tempera-
ture. At o'clock Sunday the mer-
curry stood at 36, when without warn
ing it began to fall and continued to
rate of three degrees an hour until
sometime after sundOwn, when the
drop while it continued was more
moderate.
At o'clock Sunday the mercury
stood at %, while at the same hour
this morning it was barely degrees
above the zero notch, showing a fall
of Is degrees in "a hours. The cold
wave was accompanied by a piercing,
biting wind which cut like knife,
and to add to the disc nfort of the
evening a slight fall o. snow was
sandwitched in with the cold wave
and the colder wind.
At 2 o'clock today the conditions
have moderated some and the mercury
stands at 19 and though the thermom-
eter indicates that the day is not cold
enough to be uncomfortable the cold
frost laden air which is blowing from
the northwest at the rate of II miles
an hours, evidently off of an ice pack,
makes outdoor exercise unpleasant.
The maxim for Sunday was Sc, while
the minimum for today was five de-
grees above zero at 8 o'clock this
morning.
The weather department chronicles
Just a trace of snow for Sunday. The
prediction given out by the depart
ment for today and Tuesday is: "Fair
tonight and Tuesday, warmer in this
section Tuesday, and higher tempera-
lures in the northern portion of the
state this evening.

Probate Judge Reads a Paper at Min
isteriaI Union.

The members of the Ministerial
union, in session this morning. listened
TO paper which Probate Judge r. F.
Hayden read upon the juvenile court
and its work. The paper was along
the line of that read at the Charities
convention here several days ago. The
members of the union expressed their
appreciation by vote of thanks to
Judge Hayden.
A discussion of a limited nature fol-
lowed, and Secretary Prout of the
Railroad Y NJ. c. A. stated that in
looking after the boys in their work
they had found that a woman could
keep better control and exerted a
more powerful influence than a man,
and that in all probability a woman,
trained to that line of work, would
be engaged.
The union decided to cooperate
with the various young peoples So
cieties in a union rally meeting which
swil be held in the afternoon of Sun
day, February II. The rally will be
commemorative of the organization of
the Christian Endeavor, the Epworth
League, and allied societies of that
nature, and a speaker of national rep
utation will be secured to deliver an
address.

GERMANY'S BRIEF.
In the Moroccan Case Is Published at
Berlin.

Berlin. Jan. s-The foreign Offices
pag ges with extracts from q documents,
appeared today and furnished good
reading for those who have followed this
long controversy. The publication, how
ever. contains but few interesting fea-
lures 1t begins with a symposium of
the newspaper cuttings expressing the
aspiration of the French to attain eX-
elusive Jurisdiction in Morocco and re-
porting that the French ministeg at Fez
had assumed the mandate of Europe to
urge the execution of reforms in
Morocco.
The sultan of Morocco December q,
received in audience Herr Nassel, the
German consul at Fez and talked over
the general situation.
I am willing" said the sultan, to
treat three or four powers equally with
Germany and Great Britain on account
of their trade and France and Spain
because they are neighboring harbOrs."
The sultan inquired whether the
French minister could claim a general
that Germany had not granted such
mandate.
The SULTAN said he was pleased to re-
ceive this information. Herr Nassel in
a dispatch dated April p. on the sui
tans state of mind after the speech of
M Delcasse. the former foreign minister
of France in the French senate March
81, said Mulai Abd-Aziz was excited by
NJ DeIcasse's declaration that the
Moroccan government has asked
Frances advice and would follow it.
During the audience the sultan cried:
But these are absolute untruths."

POINTS OUT EVILS
Cummins in His Annual Message
to the Legislature
Discusses Life Insurance and
Railroads in Politics.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 8.=Simul-
taneously at the tap of the gavels the
house and senate of the thirty-first
session of the Iowa general assembly
convened at 10 o'clock today. Lieuten-
ant Governor John Herriott called the
senate to order and H. E. Teachout
senior representative from Polk, Off
ciated in a like capacity in the house.
officers chosen at the Saturday night
of Adel being unanimously chosen for
speaker.
By agreement among house mem
berS the credentials committee recon-
mended that neither representatives
Whitemer and YOude, who are con-
testing a seat from O'Brien county, be
seated and that the matter be referred
to a special committee to be selected
by the house.
Promptly at o'clock a joint session
of the house and senate was held and
Governor Cummins' biennial message
was read.
1t was in part as follows:
Il believe that from this time for
ward all old line insurance companies
organized under the laws OF other
states and desiring to carry on business
in the state of Iowa should be required
to deposit with the state auditor securi-
ties equal in amount to the legal re-
serve upon the policies issued on the
lives in this state for the protection of
such policy holders; the deposits to
continue until the state in which the
company is organized shall require a.
deposit of the entire legal reserve with
some state officer, al which time our
auditor should transfer the securities
so placed with him to the officer of
the state in which the company is
organized.
Another grave defect in the methods
of life insurance men is the accumula-
tiOn of a so-called surplus, which, in
great measure at least, represents de-
ferred dividends. I recommend that the
law be so strengthened as to require an
annual accounting between each com
pany and its pOlicyholders so that at
the close of each year the pOlicyholders
will be notified of their respective
shares in the surplus of the preceding
year. In SO recommending it must be
understood that I do not advocate the
distribution annually of the entire sur
plus. There must be a margin of safety
to cover unexpected and extraordinary
conditions.
There is more fraud and deception,
some times intentional and some unin-
territorial practiced upon policyholders
by reason of the variety in the forms
of life insurance contracts than in any
other way. I believe that there should
be standard forms of policies
Regarding railways, Governor Cum
minis said in part;
"A primary election law Will minimize,
if it will not destroy, the power of rail
ways in politics; and if there were no
other reason for enacting such a stat
suance of free transportation by rail-
roads is a vicious practice and should
be prohibited. 1t is utterly indefensible
from any point of view"
