LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions In Chicago Of Interest
To Iowa Producers.

Chicago, May u.
CATTLE.-Receipts of cattle today
we're. not very heavy, estimate being
only 10000; still this was more than
of the trade and excepting for few
OF the very best grades of prime fat
steers which sold around steauy
prices, bulk of the offerings were slow
sale and had to be disposed of at a
decline of 10c@l5c per cwt. Butcher
cattle were also slow sale; however,
held up a little better than the steers.
We believe the very unsatisfactory
market OF, today will check receipts
the balance of the week and we would
not be surprised to see a little better
feeling In the trade.
hOGS.-Receipts of hogs today will
foot up $4,000 to 10000, which is a
record breaker for this season of the
year and fully twice as many as the
trade figured on, and we cannot under.
stand why the run should be So heavy.
with fully 10000 going over unsoId.
Quality of offerings was very good,
shipping orders only fairly good, and
1t was not a matter of price, but to
get the hogs sold and try to keep
them from dying. 1t is estimated that
there will be 600 to 700 dead hogs
here today. Reported top of $3.50, but
$40 bought as good hogs as anyone
wished to see, with a good class OF
mixed, $5.30@5.35, with bulk OF
butchers around 5.37k@5.42k, how
ever, late in the day it was impossible
to get over $685. for the best hogs in
the yards. Packers seemed to feel
Indifferent and the 10000 hogs that
were left over were never offered for
sale. 1t would have been impossible
to dispose of all the run today. Pro
visions ruled lower and with any
thing like moderate run of hogs the
rest of the week, there certainly viii
be no good in, the market. =.
SHEEP.-The run OF sheep today
was estimated at $4,000 and bulk OIL
the receipts were lambs, but few sneepI
arriving. Prices ruled about steady
on the sheep. Shorn lambs we're
mostly unchanged, while offerings IN
fleece sold generally 1O@15c off. The
heavy and plain clippers also showed
some decline. We are not expecting
a very heavy run the balance of this
week and do not look for much i'm.
pTovement in the trade.

Would Be Improper.

Chairman Brady never so guilelessy fair as
on a recent occasion. Asked who would be the
strongest candidate the republicans could name for
governor, he blushed consciously and proceeded,
after his cheek had returned to its normal hue:
AS Chairman of the State Central Committee, it
would not be proper for me to discuss candidates
for any of the important offices.
In its knowledge of the circumstances that must
attend any such expression of opinion the public
will agree that Chairman Brady exercised the discre
ton of the trained manipulation of machine selection
1t is understood that he cannot give away the secrets
of the combine until they come into his possession
and it is yet bit early for the biennial pilgrimage
to Salt Lake City
After President Smith, of the Mormon Church.
has measured the aspirants and given his opinion, it
will become proper for the chairman to form and
promugate an estimate of the strength of candi-
dates One cannot grope successfully in the dark,
with the temple 500 miles away and the wires down.
The chairman further assures the constituency
that the difficult problem of convention apportion-
ment is being given thoughtful attention" and he
has no doubt that "a fair and equitable basis will be
agreed upon"
The Scimitar has presented a few attractive ap-
portonment schemes and it feels that Joseph cannot
equitably depart from all its figures

Colonel Harvey "Lost Out. "

When Colonel Harvey, editor of the always polit-
icay unpleasant Harpers Weekly, headed delega-
ton of alleged Democratic delegates that asked Mr.
Bryan to withdraw from the presidential race, he
took his gall with him. He admitted his presump-
ton after his proposition had been rejected in say
that Mr. Bryan certain to be nominated and
that he and his brother delegates had lost out.
1t was confession that, while the Democratic
party wanted Mr.. Bryan for its candidate, Colonel
Harvey and few other persons did not want him.
Therefore he should get out of the way.
Mr.. Bryan met the application of the New York
delegation with the dignihed proposition that any
man who asked him in the of the Democratic
party to withdraw Should show his credentials to
speak for the party" something that the Harvey
party could not produce The political status of the
editor of Harper's Weekly is not commonly known,
but he is popularity believed to be a J. Perpont
Morgan man, with no other distinguishing mark up
on his person or character
Harper's Weekly has been on the wrong side of
every question since the breaking out of the civil
war and it is still true to its record But it is
quite comforting learn that the New York enemies
of the Nebraska stateman have reached the end of
their efforts and freely admit that nothing can
prevent the nomination of Mr.. Bryan.

to the human system, as Opium and its various al
kalods step in the right direction would be taken
Morphine and Cocaine being the two drugs pr1n-
cipa1y used by the unfortunates lately arrested and
committed to the County Jail for term of 80 days
each it would appear that legislation restricting the
sale of these two especially harmful drugs would
be in the interest of good citizenship
To attempt to break up the traffic or to torc1by
restrain persons from using drugs to relieve pain,
would require police regulations than any COM
munity could endure
But law might be enacted imposing "a penalty up
on any one selling, giving away dispensing harm
full drugs except upon the prescription, or under the
personal supervision of reputable physcian and all
physicians in Idaho are supposed to be reputable,
for all must have license to practice the profession
in this state.
We will not extend these remarks, for they could
be extended to as many ramihcatons there are de-
rvatives of Opium. But let us have a law to dis
courage the growing Of and the abuse of, these
body and soul-destroyng drugs.
This awful habit is not confined to Boise. Every
community is afflicted, more or less. The Boise
officials cannot be too highly commended. They are
entitled to and should receive vigorous united sup
port from the good citizenship of the state.

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

Laah will have % votes based on the Secretary OF
State vote, and Mr.. French should easily control
these if he is to be the church candidate again. and
the difficulty of picking up four more delegates
would be easy of adjustment.
Lansdon might want to be Secretary of State
again and should be able to control Washington
with nine votes, Bragraw might consent to enter
the combine with 80 votes from old Kootenai, or Is
from new Kootenai. Nez Perez will have % votes,
and some ambitious gentleman in that community
might desire to go to Congress, either upper or low
er branch or to be Governor. Nez Perez and the
solid Mormon Counties would suffice
Shoshone will have 10 votes, within of enough
to make a majority with the Brethren" APP
parently on any apportionmen the Mormons will not
have to seek alliances. They will await overtures.
Our advice to the ambitious remains the same.
Consult the Salt Lake authorities, and if consent is
given then carry your delegation safely and Sc
curely into the Mormon camp.

In its last issue the Scmitar endeavored to en-
tighten the abors of the Republican State Committee
which meets in Boise February 10TH by aiding it in
the delicate task of apportoning the delegates fair
y and satisfactorily. The chairman Of the commit
tee supposed to be the Mormon candidate for Gov

it is fact) will influence him at all in the apportlon-
ment If any blame is attempted to be attached
to Mr.. Brady for giving the uphoders of polygamy
undue strength in the nominating convention, we
want to exonerate him in advance
If there should be objection to basng the appor-

Robert Lansdon was the Republican candidate for
