THE BACCALAUREATF.
Sermon to Graduates at Iowa Christ
ian College.

The annual baccalaureate sermon
to the graduating class was given as
the second function in the commence
ment exercises of the Iowa Christian
college in the chapel Tuesday even
ing. Dr. H. G. Bond, pastor of the
Christian church at Girard, Kansas,
delivered the sermon. His subject
was, "Companionship, Constructive
and Descriptive" his theme being
based on Prov. 1920, HE that walk
eth with wise men shall be wise; but
companion of fools shall be des-
troyed." He emphasized the import
ance of an education for reasons other
than its commercial value, discourag-
ing to some extent the tendency in
some schools to give undue import
ance to the commercial branches.
knowledge, he said, creates desire
for more knowledge and with 1T am
bition is aroused First OF all, how
ever, he held the importance of right
eousness and urged the graduates to
find their place in the church and re-
member the Christian side of their
education. During his sermon Rev.
Bond commended the work of small
institutions of learning by saying that
1t is not always the large schools that
accomplish the best results.
During the evening Mrs. Hattie
Burton rendered vocal solo and Mrs.
Burton and Miss Edna Sanders a
beautiful duet. There was a goodly
attendance of friends of the school.
Tonight the graduating exercises will
be held and degrees conferred upon a
class of about twenty graduates. The
annual meeting of the alumni asso-
citation of the college will follow.

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

Chicago, June 3.
CATTLE-The slow market the fore
part of last week caused a very light
run the last of the week and as re-
suit we had a stronger and higher mar.
ket, and the trade closed up in very
good shape. Today we had another
very light run OF 10000 cattle, which
was much less than any one had look
ed for and the market on the common
grades of cattle was strong with the
good medium and best grades of steers
generally 10c@15c higher. The de-
mand was very good, especially on the
best kinds and If we keep getting
these light runs balance of the week,
no doubt the cattle will work some
higher. However. we do not believe
1t well to crowd cattle to market, as
we look for a good trade right along.
HOGS-Receipts were as light today
in proportion as they were heavy on
last Monday, and will foot up about
$4,000, while the general trade was fig
uring on about 10000. Market ruled
fully 15c higher, and everything sold
readily at the advance, with the close
Of the market strong and the hogs well
bought up. Top on butchers. $50,
with bulk of fair to best mixed $500
$50 Range In prices was narrow
again today on account Of the light
run. Quality of the offerings fairly
good. Provision markets all ruled high
er and with moderate run OF hogs
rest of the week we figure on a fair
market; however, 1t Is pretty hard to
predict the future as our markets have
been running so uneven. Shipping or
ders were very good today. with a
strong demand for all strictly corn fed
hogs. We are getting quite good
many grass hogs. They were hard
sellers last week and we predict a wide
range In prices from now on, as we do
not expect to see quality Of the hogs
as good as they have been. -t
SHEEP-The run of sheep and
lambs today was quite liberal and trade
averaged no better than steady with
last weeks close. Estimated receipts
today were $4,000, which was enough
to meet all the requirements of the
trade. We are not expecting a very
heavy run for the balance of the week.
however we do not expect much II any
Improvement In the trade.

that after his forces had been re-
pulsed at the Tugela river on Decem-
Der 10, 1899, he sent word to Gen
White at Ladysmt : .uvising him to
surrender to the Beers. For his in
discretion In making such an admis-

war office relieved Gen. Butler of his
command. He was placed on half

Africa, was appointed to succeed him.
Many Take Buffers Side.
A leading British service paper, the
Army and Navy Gazette, at that time
defended Gen. Butler, and declared
that his order to Gen. White, in view
of all the circumstances, was a chiv-
alrous and not a blameworthy act.
Other voices were heard in Gen. Bull
ler's behalf, and a disposition was ap-
parent In many influential quarters to
regard him as victim of jealousy and
malicious spite.
There were many who said Gen.
Lord Roberts would have Jared no
