tional progress of the city in the
100 years since its incorporation.
The Coliseum, where DR.. Cook
will lecture. was built by public
spirited citizens whose prime motive
was lot profit but the welfare of
their city. Like builders Of a worlds
fair, they hoped to recover event
ually at least part Of their invest
ment. No dividends have been de-
clared and perhaps none ever will
be. But the stockholders find con-
ISOLATION in the fact that St. Louis
has one of the finest public hall in
the world. It is doubtful If there is
another hall in America with such
an enormous seating capacity, in
which lecture could successfully
be given. The perfect acoustic pro-
perties Of the Coliseum will enable
fifteen thousand people to hear the
distinguished speaker. whose lecture
will not exceed one hour and fifteen
minutes. This great seating will
insure sufficient revenue to justify
the payment of the fabulous sum
which DR.. Cook will receive under
the terms Of his contract, and which
is conceded to be the largest fee ev-
er paid to any person for a single
public appearance in the United
States, and probably any other
country.
Many persons predict that DR..
Cook will overshadoW all other Cen
tennial celebrities, not excepting
Glenn Fl. Curtiss, champion aviator
Of the world, who on the afternoons
Of Wednesday Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of Centennial Week will
make aeroplane flights to which the
public will be admitted without
charge. The Aero Club of St. Louis
which will manage all balloon, air
ship and aeroplane races Of Centen-
Mai Week. is trying to get the two
distinguished visitors together. l..
D. Dozier, after a conference with
Albert Bond Lambert, chairman OF
the grounds committee Of the aero
nautic meet, and other members OF
the governing board, has extended
| to Dr.. Cook an invitation to be one
Of the judges Of aeronautics. This
honor will hardly be declined by Or.
Cook, it is thought, and If accepted

ence at the aeronautic events. the

Chicago Market Report

Chicago Union Stock Yards, Oct. 4
Receipts Of western range cattle last
week q, 500 as compared with 81, 600
the previous week and 5000 CORES
ponding week Of last year. Marketing
for the year to date 164, 200 against
185, 200 corresponding period Of 1908.
As compared with late previous week,
sales of best range beef steers this
week showed steady range, while
others displayed mostly 10c loss.
Early last week both packers and
eastern shippers were very indifer-
ent bidders, but on later days they
seemed hungry for offerings, which
accounted for betterment in values.
A new high price for the year was
paid, when load of fancy Montana
dehorned Herefords reached $7.15
Bulk went at S4.65 to 5.65. During
most Of the week she stock met very
good demand and sales were 10 to 15c
higher with most trading at $3.50 to
4.5O. It Is quite apparent now that
there is big shortage Of fat corn-fed
cattle back in the country. This in
sures an excellent market for rangers,
as both local and eartern shippers
will have to depend more and more
upon these offerings to fill their
wants. There is nothing pessimistic
in the situation for the range cattle
men the balance Of this season.
RANGE SHEEP
Marketing Of sheep and lambs last
week totalled 112, 900 as compared
with 142, 600 the previous week. While
sheep showed Is to 25c loss for the
week, yearlings held steady and lambs
advanced Is to 25c. Top lambs make
ST. % and bulk s6. rs to TO. Most Of
the yearlings sold $40 to 5.75. Sum
nit on sheep $500 and sales in main
at $4.25 to 4.8o. Barring wethers,
which sold IS to CSC lower, trade in
feeding stock held steady. Most Of the
lambs sold at $3.50 to $50, bulk
yearlings $3.50 to 5.65, wethers in
main at $4.25 to 4.s5 and ewes large
" at $s.45 to s.75. Breeding ewes

mouths to choice yearlings.

water for their cattle in times Of
drought and hay lands from which
60 cut an abundant supply Of hay
Tor winter feeding. These are the
conditions which with better breed
ing are producing an increasing pro-
portion Of good range cattle. The
outlook is bright for the western
cattlemen who handle their cattle
with the increasing care the narrow
ing down Of the open range re-
quires, and who secure good selling
service at the big markets.
1t will pay every small rancher
we'll to provide himself with quar-
ters for winter feeding with good
hay and keep close in touch with his
commission house on the Chicago
market. as we'll as at other points,
throughout the year. There may be
a time late in winter or in the spring
when a few loads of the best steers
may be topped off and sent to mar
ket to bring big prices. At any rate
the added weight and better quality
it will give cattle that are to be
marketed from summer range pas
lures will pay we'll for the extra
care as shown by results this year.

chievous boys have set fire to the dry
timber several times II the past few

property. The police will be asked to
arrest persons who may start fires in this

tain element, which has always been trou-
blesome to the revenue agents, than in
many years.
Effect of Prohibition.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the legislatures of these three states have
enacted laws prohibiting distilleries from
operating within their borders. In Ala
bama the law went into effect July 1.
1908: in Georgia, January l, 1905 and in
North Carolina, January 1, 1909. Very
many of the legitimate distilleries have
moved their plants to Florida and other
border states where the inhibition does
not exist. Whisky. being more difficult
to obtain in a legitimate way, has great
ly increased the profits Of Illicit distilling,
with the result that the activities of the
internal revenue bureau at this time are
largely directed toward the mounain sec
tons of these three states.
During the year 1908 there were 1,130
Illicit stills destroyed; in 1907 there were
1,139. and in 1906. there were 1876. but
the returns for the nine months of the
present fiscal year show a decided in
crease in the number destroyed the num-
Der so far reported this year being 1,017.
with the probability that by July l. that
number will have been increased to APP

Miss Virginia Carter of Virginia

WINCHESTER, Va, April 5-Miss
Virginia Carter, the young daughter Of
Reese B. Carter. was burned to death
yesterday in q fire which destroyed his
home, Yellow House. at Rest, this
county, one of the most historic struc-
lures in the state. Both Mr.. and Mra
Carter were badly burned in futile eff
fort to save their daughter. They are ex-
pected to recover.
Yellow House was more than 200
years old and was the scene of many
notable events during revolutionary and
