SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, April 1.-THE
supreme court today dismissed the
suit of the state of Illinois against
the Illinois Central railroad for an
accounting and recovery of the share
claimed by the state Of the gross re-
ceipts Of the railroad. In dismissing
the suit the eour. gave leave to the
attorney general to withdraw the suit
and begin the proceedings either here

Chief Justice Scott in his brief oral

was divided as to whether the suit
involved revenue within the meaning
of the constitution and therefore in
it's discussion decided not to assume
jurisdiction.
Assistant Attorney General Demp-
sey said today that the suit would be
promptly re-fled either in the cir

Cattle.

Receipts were very liberal this morning.,
i'm fact, the heaviest run for some time
past. The three days supply mas Dteh
about G0o0 heavier than for the first nal
OF last week and there has been very
noticeable Improvement In the character
Of the offerings
On account of the bearlsh tone To al
vices from eastern markets and the ilp-
eraI local receipts the fat cattle llade
opened out rather slow and >early bids
we're fully l0c lower than yesterday, ali
around. AS ii developed later that lheie
was q good general demand for the iat,
light and handy-weight grades, prices
stiffeTled up on this class OF stock to very
nearly steady figures, but the market
was slow and weak on the heavy grades
throughout
The proportion or cows and heifers on
sale today was very small, less than fifty
loads, all told. and the result was =
strong. active market for all desirable
offerings. Veal calves were steady and
there was little noticeable change In the
market for bulls, stays, etc.
Business in the stocker and fecdcr d.
vision was rather quiet, owing to the fact
that the liberal run OF cattle Included
very few feeders. There was good de-
mand however, for the good STOCK ana
prices were quotably fully steady. Light
stuff, as usual Of late, was slow and weak
although hardly quotably lower
While there was a very fair run OF
hogs the receipts were hardly as large
as dealers we're looking for, either here
or at eastern markets. The tone TO re-
ports from outside points was generally
bearish however and trading was slow
from start TO finish OH the basis OF about
a SC decline from yesterdays figures. A
noticeable feature of the trade was the
increased popularity of light and butcher
hogs, these selling at greater premium
tnan before this spring. The top, $3.50,
was be higher than yesterday, although
the bulk Of the sales at $6.35lf6 40 aver
age up about &c lower than yesterday
Liberal receipts this morning were on
set by corresponding demand from pack
ers, So that prices were well sustained
on all desirable grades. Strong spots
were noted here and there and early
trading was brisk at fully steady to
strong prices. Weoled lambs fetched IS SO
the limit reached during the present ad-
vance, and the Gibson shom wethers
Sc is and shorn ewes. 81. .65, were sc higher
than the same stuff brought yesterday.
Considering the very liberal receipts and

is in a most satisfactory condition all
around.

WHEAT HAS AN OFF DAY IN THE
CHICAGO PIT.
PRICES HAVE SHARP BREAK
Market Excited and Strong Early
ON Reports of Killing FrOsts,
Hut Later SIumps-COrn
and oats Down.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Seling on liberal
scale caused weakness today in the wheat
market with the May option closing at
net loss of 5sc. Corn was down nc and
oats &c. Provisions were 211c lower TO
&c higher.
The liberal selling of wheat was a fea-
ture during the greater part of the ses-
sion and was due largely to belief that
improved weather conditions for the new
crop are at hand Another reason was the
near approach of delivery time ON May
contracts. On a report of killing trostS
throughout Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and
illinois, the market opened excited and
strong Continued absence OF rain IN kan
sas and Nebraska aided the buliish senti.
ment but before the end of the first half
hour a brisk selling movement developed
and prices broke sharply. The immediate
reason for the change in sentiment was
an official forecast OF showers Tor seVcral
sections of the winter wheat belt lne
market at times rallied moderately on
covering by shorts but declined again just
before the close. The latest recession 1oi-
lowed report of snow in Nebraska: Inc
close was weak with prices close tC ne

mlsc higher al 7S9sO7S1ac, sold off to 7i2sc

wheat ami -four were equal to 23e,ooO
bushels against 10000 bushels the same
da. last year. Minneapolis Duluth ana
against 36i cars last week and 100 cars
year ago.
The corn market opened firm in SYM
pathy with wheat but selling by
local bull soon caused an easier feeling
during the first hour. The close was
steady. May opened 1sMAc higher at 4lBq
47Ac sold off to 46ss0p46Ac and closed at
46sc July opened 1sQi4c higher at 4lsM
47$sc sold off to 47c and closed at 4lisc.
Local receipts were 2l4 cars lnciuolng

Oats opened higher on reports OF oam-
age by frost but weakened on realizing
sales May opened 1s0Ac higher at $500

Connecticut He said when I started with this work hl Bridgeport l was Jld that the odds were too great to yercome and that it would be impos- ible 10 clean up Bridgeport. IL has Jeen demonstrated even to the satis- action of tile most chronic violators of he law that with q man behind the law | can be enforced,'
 He further said If the Christians of his state wish 1t and use their sui rage intelligently we can have a pro- ihluon law enacted by the next sos ion of the general assembly in Con- iccticut. This is not q partizen issue | is a fight for deceney and morality. f he church men make it known shat hey will not support any man for the egislature who is not in ready 10 out. aw the saloon it will be Outlawed. The no license towns of the state can aake their no license vote effective by ending to Hartford men who will vote license there.
 The no license towns will have ajority in the house. Some of my ewspaper friends admit that it is pos Ible to carry prohibition in the house ut they say that the senate will be gainst it. They forget that even in he cities that it is possible to elect enators favorable to prohibition. Tho ities are divided into senatorial dis riots and some of these districts are esidential and can be carried against he man who favors the saloon. In ny own city it is possible to carry two # the three senatorial districts against ho saloon. I confidently expect that rohibitiofl will be one of the great re- orms introduced and fought for in the ext general assembly with good pros eets of success.

willing to sell out for the revenue we are simply blackmailers who are will ing to take our share of the spells of 9 system that we acknowledge produces evil and only evil.
 That prohibition will not prohibit might be used against any of our laws. There were 249 murders in New York
 last year. Only sixty-hve arrests fol-
 lowed the commission of those crimes and only two of the criminals went to
 the electric chair Using the argument of the liquor dealers, we might say that the law against murder does not prohibit Murder will be committed
 anyway and we might as well regulate
 it. Look at the revenue we would get from it and then we might provide that no murder be committed between mid night and , in the morning or on the
 Sabbath and there would be no speak easy" murderers as there are now. Then there is another crime that is very, very prevalent wherever the sa- Icons exist. that of wife beating. We might issue licenses to wife beaters and gain considerable revenue. If we can license one evil, why not license all? Would it not be just as sane to license wife beaters and murderers as to license the factories that produce wife beaters and murderers are doin~ at present in licensing the sa- loon!
 inc so-called necessary evils are necessary only so long as the people wish to tolerate them The saloon as it exists to-day is a positive nuisance. It is a menace to public health public peace and public morality and it exists because of the mistaken idea that it helps pay taxes. The fact of the mat ter is that for every dollar that we re- eeive in the way of license fees we are paying SEQ to care for the product of the saloon. But if it were true that we benefited by the whole amount paid by the liquor dealers of the state It would amount to only 30 cents per cap ita per year for the population of the state of Connecticut.
