CATrLE-Receipts of cattle were very
large again this morning, making an UNI
usually heavy run for the three days. To
day's receipts, however, were not as heavy
as they really looked on paper, for the
reason that included in the number was
a train or two of southern stock cattle
headed for the northern range, which were
not offered for sale. There was also a
train OF still cattle direct to a packer. Al
lowing for, this there was probably not to
exceed 20 cars on sale. AS was the case
yesterday and the day before, a very large
proportion OF the cattle offered consisted
of beef steers. and there was a right good
sprnklinS of very sessonable killers among
them. Cow stuff was only In moderate
supply and there were only a few stockers
and feeders.
Tho buyers OF stockers and feeders were
out in the yard early IN the morning, as
has been the case Of late, and cattle of
that description were the first to change
hands. Although there was a pretty de-
cent showing. prices remained about sta
tionary, the market as q rule being quoted
as fully steady with yesterday. Pretty
much everything in the way of stockers
and feeders changed hands early in the
morning. As high as $50 was paid for good
yearlings.
The market on beef steers was a little
slow at the opening, but when buyers and
sellers finally got together IT was on a
basis of prices that were steady to Joe
lower than yesterday. While the trade
was not especially active, the big bulk OF
the cattle changed hands in fair season
IN the morning Az nlBn db W.V was
paid for one very prime load of heavy
cattle.
Cows and heifers ware in moderate sup
ply and the demand at the same time being
good. the trade was active at steady prices,
everything selling early.

WEATHER IN THE GRAIN BELT
Fair and Cooler for Thursday IL the
Outlook.

OMAHA, May ., 1903.
Light showers occurred in the Ohio and
lower Mississippi valleys and southern
states within the last twenty-four hours,
and continue in the extreme upper Ohio
valley and middle Atlantic states this
morning. The weather continues generally
clear throughout the central valleys and
southwest. An area of high pressure, ac-
by unsettled and colder weather,
is moving In over the extreme northwest,
and the continued silva movement OF
this high will bring cooler weather over

AIRSHIP FLIGHT
ALMOST A SUCCESS.
Demonstrates Its Ability To Rise and
Move Through Air Under
Own Power

That the Newman bi-plane will
move through the air W it's own
power was demonstrated this morn
ing at Mesquite The defective mag
nets was discarded after Saturday
failure and replaced with a bat
terry and commutator. A small
crowd. anticipating the event, went
down early this morning in autos
to witness it. The weather ap-
peared favorable and, the new mo-
tive apparatus having been success
fully tried yesterday, Prof Newman
was hopeful of results. He stepped
into the seat in the PROV, the guy
wires were released, and the engine
started. This time an automobile
was hitched to the big bird to give
it a start The machine soon over
took the auto, which was forced to
cast loose, and passed it sudden
gust of wind then struck the wings
full in front and the bi-plane was
raised fully six feet from the earth.
Then the seemingly inevitable
something happened, the propellers
stopped. and the trial was ended by
the machine yielding to the irresis-
tible attraction of gravity and COM
ing down rather hurriedly One of
the wheels was crushed by the fall,
thus preventing any further effort
today.
The trial was considered success
full as it is believed to have demon
strated that the machine will move
under its own power, and, after
few more minor improvements, In
ventor Newman fully expects it to
fly The machine was making full
ly 20 miles an hour when it stop

TO INVESTIGATE
ORANGE CULTURE.
Commissioner Kone Appoints Prof.
Harold Hume of Florida for Pur-
pose,
To The Herald.

To The Herald.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 2O.-As a re-
suit of the widespread discussion of
the citrus fruit industry in the Texas
Coast Country, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Kone has appointed Prof.
Harold Hume of Florida, to make an
investigation of the conditions rela-
tive to the industry of citrus fruit
in the region named. Prof. Hume
who is noted authority on
citrus fruit culture will arrive in
Texas Sept. 81 to begin work. He
will visit the leading sections of the
Texas coast where oranges, lemons,
etc, are being planted on an extensive
scale. He will begin at Beaumont
in Eastern Texas, and conclude his
investigations at Brownsville AL
vim, Victoria, Palacios. Beeville, Bay
City, Corpus Christi, Sarita and Ray
mondville are intermediate points
which he will visit
This investigation follows a very
general desire for accurate informa-
ton on the subject named The fact
that the report of Prof Tenny, of
the National Agricultural Depart
ment, who investigated the citrus
fruit situation in Texas several
months ago and made a somewhat
unfavorable report regarding the
planting of orange and other citrus
fruit groves for commercial purposes,
has created a general interest in the
matter.
Prof f. c. Green of the South
Texas Gardens at Brownsville, at the
recent session of the Farmers Cong
ress at Bryan, upheld Prof Tenny
in his opinion that the conditions
would hardly justify the establish
ment of extensive orange groves for
commercial purposes. The discus
sion on this point is growing rather
sharp. and much interest is felt in
the outcome. Prof. Hume IS expect
ed &c give a thoroughly competent
and entirely disinterested opinion
