rut While u few sales of COW stuff
early had been made at steady to
strong prices, the market sagged badly
after the first hour, closing 100 l5c
lower. Steers We're slow and generally
loo lower.
The supply for three days this week
is about 5000 less than last week,
while shipments are 5000 larger. This
leaves quite a deficit for the packers
who, for some reason. are buying as
little as possible having recently been
overburdened with beef which had to
be closed out at a great reduction.
Hogs.
Hogs dropped S@10c, as compared
with the best time Yesterday. tho light
hogs were less affected than heavy
and butcher, with the result that there
was a very narrow spread between
them. Choice lights sold up to $3.50,
while butcher hogs went around $3.50.
with choice butchers and heavy hogs
up to $3.50.
Supply is light all over the west.
and with holiday Friday not many
hogs are expected the rest of the
week. A week ago s6.52k was the
top, and s6.10@6.40 bought the bulk.
On the corresponding day last week
the top was s6.171s. and s5.70@6.10
took the bulk. A year ago s4.55 was
the summit and $4.40@4.50 gathered
in the big end of the crop.
Sheep.
Choice lambs sold steady. and 9TH
err grades slightly lower, but at the
close, the entire market was easier.
Sheep of good quality were barely
steady. but tended toward lower lev
els. Some late sales showed declines.

Singapore (special). :

Singapore Especially - The mail
steamer La Seyne, of the Messageries
Maritimes Service, running between
Java and Singapore, and on her way
to this port, was in collision early
this morning with the steamer Onda,
of the British-India Line, and sank
within two minutes. Seven Euro
pean passengers, including Baron and
Baroness Beniczky, the captain of La
Seyne, five European officers, and
SO others, comprising native passen-
gers and members of the crew, were
drowned. The rescue of 81 persons,
practically from the jaws of shoals
of sharks, formed a thrilling incl
dent of the wreck.
The accident occurred about
o'clock in the morning in thick
haze. The vessels were steaming at
almost in half. There was no time
for panic nor for any attempt on
the part of the officers of the found
ering steamer to get out the boats.
The majority of those on board were
caught in their berths and carried
down with the vessel
The force of the collision brought
the Onda to almost a dead stop and
her engines were at once slowed and
boats lowered. The rescue work
proved thrilling, for not only were
the rescuing parties impeded by the
dark, but shoals of sharks were al
ready attacking those clinging to
pieces of wreckage in the water.
Sixty-one persons from the Inflated
steamer were finally dragged into
the boats and brought by the Onda
to this port. Many of them had
been bitten by sharks and several
are severely injured.

EMPEROR WILL NOT FLY.
Promises His Wife Not To Go Up
In An Aeroplane.

Berlin Especially Emperor Will
liam confided to Count Zeppelin re-
Gently his fear that he would never
experience the sensation of flying
in the air. He said he had promised
the Empress that he would never
make an ascent either in a dirigible
balloon or an aeroplane. His Maj
esty added that the Empress regard
ed all air crafts as extremely peril
GUS.
Count Zeppelin has had the hon
or of having as passengers in his
airships two kings, two queens and
many princes and princesses, and
these royal flights have been given
much publicity. Der Reichbots, a
daily paper which has the distinction
of being one of those read regular
ly by the Empress, publishes many
letters from correspondents who ex-
press regret that Crown Prince
Frederick William risked his life,
as the writer's put it, by making an
ascent with Orville Wright.

TAFT SETS THANKSGIVING DAY.
President Issues His First Pre-
ClamatiOn Of Sort.

Washington. D. c. Especially. =
President Taft issued his first
Thanksgiving proclamation, setting
the date for Thursday, November 25.
The proclamation is as follows:
"The season of the year has re-
turned when, in accordance with the
reverent custom established by our
forefathers, the people of the United
States are wont to meet in their
usual places of worship on day
of Thanksgiving appointed by the
Civil Magistrate to return thanks TO
God for the great mercies and bene-
fits which they have enjoyed.
During this past year we have
been highly blessed. No great ca
lamities of flood or tempest or cpl
demic sickness have befallen US. We
have lived in quietness, undisturbed
by war or threats of war. Peace and
plenty of bounteous crops and of
great Industrial productions animate
cheerful and resolute people to all
the renewed energies of beneficent
industry and material and moral
progress. 1t is altogether fitting that
we should humbly and gratefully ac-
knowledge the Divine source of these
blessings.
Therefore, hereby appoint
Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of
November, as a day of general
thanksgiving, and call upon the
people on that day, laying aside their
usual vocations, to repair to their
churches and unite in appropriate
services of praise and thanks to Al
mighty God.
Gin witness whereof I hare here
unto put my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this fifteenth day of November. in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and nine, and o. the
independence of the United States
one hundred and thirty-fourth.
William H. Taft"

WHITE man LYNCHED
and NEGRO BURNED
Second Attack on Jail To Hang
White Murderer.

Cairo, ILL., November 12.-Henry
Salzner, white, a photographer, who
killed his wife last July with an ak.
was taken from Jail at 11.4O P. M.
by the mob and hanged to a tele-
graph pole and his body riddled with
bullets. This lynching followed
closely on the lynching of Will
James, negro, who earlier in the
evening had been hanged for the
murder of Miss Annie Pelley.
Governor Deneen, who is in Chi
cago, was appealed to by Sheriff
Davis, who telephoned from Cairo
that troops were necessary The
Governor ordered IL companies of
the State Guard to Cairo at once.
The mob gave Salzner a chance to
confess after the rope was around
his neck, but he was so frightened
that he could only humble that his
sisters had killed his wife.
The mob became furious at this
and it was hard word to keep them
off Salzner long enough to give him
a chance to pray. The mob finally
subsidized and short religious serv-
ice was held, after which he was
strung up, the rope being placed
over telegraph pole at Twenty-first
and Washington Streets.
After SalZner was hanged. and
while the body was being riddled
with bullets, the rope broke and the
body fell to the ground, the mob go
ing away and leaving it,
SalZner was born and reared here
He had been married about two
years last July, when his wife was
found at her home with her skull
fractured. A bloody AK was found
under the bed Two babies were
playing in the mothers blood. Salz-
ner was found at the home of his
mother where he often slept at
night Before Mrs. Salzner died she
recovered enough to accuse her hus-
band of attacking her.
Feeling against him had been bit
ter and, after the lynching of James,
when someone suggested Salzner,
the mob rushed for the county jail,
got Salzner and lynched him.
Search for the negro Alexander.
supposed accomplice of James in the
Pelley murder. continues.
The mob had wrecked its vonge-
ance on Salzner after wild night
over the lynching of James. James
was strung to the public arch in the
heart of the citv. but the rope broke.
and at least 500 shots were poured
into his body He made partial
and implicated another
negro. Arthur Alexander, whom the
mob is now searching for.
