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

SulCdSOy jail. 10.
CATTLE-Receipts of cattle today
will foot up around $1,000, which was
much larger than the trade had gem
orally figured ON and as result there
seemed to be dull feeling in the
trade, and prices in most instances
showed a decline of 10c@15c per
cwt., and in some of the extreme
cases decline of 25c per cwt. was
noted; however, under these heavy
receipts, there seemed to be good
feeling in the trade and most every
thing offered was bought up. We
do not believe the market will aver
age over 15c lower than last weeks
close, and the heavy run and decline
in market of today is liable to check
receipts for the balance of the week
and we expect at least steady mar
ket; however, we do not believe it
is advisable for any one TO let cattle
come along that are not ready to
market, and ii you have any cattle
on hand that are not fat we believe
| it will pay you well to hold them back
in the country and make them good
before sending to market
HOGS-Receipts of hogs were es-
timated anywhere from 10000 TO S0,-
900, and we believe will foot up
around $4,000 head for today. making
the largest run on record. The gen
eral trade did not figure on over 49,.
900 to $4,000 after the heavy run Of
last week, and the heavy supply of
today was a surprise to everyone.
Packers started out bidding S410M
Ais and there were few earlJ sales
made on this basis. Shippers were
good buyers and later packers seemed
to be little more liberal Bulk of
the fair to good mixed sold at $4,000
4.25 with fair to fancy butchers at
lS4.20M435. We believe they have
gotten these hogs low enough and
il the country will only let hogs come
along In smaller numbers, we believe
we would have no trouble in putting
these hogs much higher.
SHEEP-The run OF sheep and
lambs today will foot up around "a.
600. Market seemed to rule rather
slow from the start; however, a good
many sales early were made around
steady prices. Later in the day
trade became rather weak and de-
cline of about loo per cwt. was noted
on both sheep and lambs We sold
lambs early in the day at S7.35 which
was the extreme top of the market
which would not have brought the
price at the close. Let sheep and
lambs come along sparingly for
time longer and we win see a higher
market.

cattle, hogs and horses are more in

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 24.-The
cricket team which will in all prob
ability represent the Associated Cricket

King of Belmont, c. H. Winter of
frankfort and III. v. Hordern of the
University of Pennsylvania.
G. S. Patterson will go with the team
on past reputation. for in recent years
he has not devoted much time to the
game. At one time, however, he was
the best all-around cricketer in the
United States. The schedule which has
been arranged for the team includes
games with all the leading county
elevens and will take two months to
complete. Play will be started in the
beginning of July and will end with the
closing of August
Just which player will captain the
team has not been decided, but it is the
general belief that ]. A. Lester will be
selected. The team as named looks
very strong. 1t has two fine wicket
keepers in 7. G. Jordan and c. H. VIM

B. King, p. II. Clark, II. V. Hordern

THE GREATEST MAsToDoN

For the sum of $4,000 ]. Pierpont
Morgan has purchased the famous
Warren mastodon skeleton, the most
compete and finest specimen of its
kind In the world, and has presented 1t
to the American Museum of Natural
History in New York city. Lillian e..
Zeh writes the story of the finding,
purchase and mounting of the speci-
men in the Technical World Magazine.
This rich fossil prize is of extraor-
binary interest. 1t was discovered near
Newburg, N. Y. Though dug up more
than fifty years ago. yet during all
this time 1t has remained practically in
seclusion, hidden away from the knowl-
edge and inspection of the general
public; but now, thanks to the donor
and the reconstructive efforts of the
distinguished paleontologist, Professor
Henry F. Osborn, the world at large
is able to study and view 1t.
The skeleton measures fourteen feet
eleven inches from base of tusk to
tail, and nine feet two inches in height.
The tusks are eight feet seven inches.
The tips still retain the beautiful pol
ish given them during their long use.
One especially interesting feature is
the fact that the layer beneath the
outer shell OF the ivory presents a
series of rings which resemble growth
rings, and appear to indicate that this
animal was twenty-seven years of age
at death.

GETSVAN DOOZER
LOCAL BOXING INSTRUCTOR
WILL FIGHT RUSSIAN
AFFAIR WILL BE PUT ON JUNE is
BY TOM McCAREY
Gentleman Athlete VIII Try to Beat
the Huge Heavyweight In Ten
Rounds at Maud
Junction

Battling Johnson, the fighting Rus
sian, and Arthur Van Doozer, Los
Angeles boxing instructor and teacher
of physical culture, were matched last
night for a ten-round battle before the
Pacific Athletic club for the evening
of June IL At a meeting at the fight
headquarters at 5 O'Clock last night
Jim Gaines. manager for Battling
johnson, Van Doozer, Tom McCarey
and party of interested spectators
gathered to discuss the novel match
and come to agreement. Within ten
minutes after they began to talk bust
ness both the principals had been
signed for the meeting, and the affair
was settled so far as the preliminary
steps go.
The making of the match goes back
to two weeks ago. The matter was
first suggested at congenial gather
ing as a joke on Van Doozer. Being a
Dutchman he took the matter serious
ly. and to the establishment of all pres
ent he took UP the proposition as
pure matter of business.
Eyes, I'll fight the big fellow, no
matter how heavy he is," rumbled the
deep voice of the boxing instructor.
81 think have good chance with him.
and anyhow I am willing to get into
the ring with him. Say. what terms
eye on Jim Gaines.
"Why, why" and Gaines hesitated.
"Why-well, We'll see about that"
Thus the matter stood until the ar
rival in town today of Battling john
son. who has just returned from a
months trip in the northern part of the
coast country. In the meantime both
men have been urged into the fighting
state and the match was quickly made
when the battler arrived and showed
himself in condition and willing. john
son will fight, anybody. as far as he
is himself concerned, and all he wants
is his chance to fight.
Unauestionably this match will cause
much comment. as Van Doozer is Wei
known here. 1t will be battle IN
which brains and strength will be pit
ted against mere enormous power. ana
over the ten round distance should be
fast and full of fighting.
The two men will battle before the
patrons of the Pacific Athletic club for
so per cent of the receipts van
Doozer gave his weight out yesterday
as 1875 pounds and Battling Johnson
saws he weighs close to 1913. At least
two preliminaries probably viii be
staged with the main event.

Already the good wishes of the Los

San Pedro has named a committee of
twenty-one citizens who will increase
their number to 300 when the details
are outlined and cooperation from Los

The tentative plans depend largely
on the acceptance by Secretary Met
