WOMAN SLAIN, SEEK ADMIRER
MRS. STELLA DUMAS SHOT DEAD
IN VILLAGE STREET.
Posse and Officers Search Country For
w. n. Morris of Plano, III.
As Suspect.

Aurora, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Stella Du
mas, believed to be the divorced wife
of Harry Dumas of Streator, ILL.,, was
shot to death In the main street OF
Montgomery, suburb of Aurora.
Within a half hour the Aurora police
augmented by posse of farmers, were
searching the country for w. H. Nor
ris, resident of Plano. He had been
seen with the murdered woman just
before the shooting.
At the same time the search for
Morris was being made, committees
of two fraternal insurance orders In
Plano were investigating alleged short
ages in Morris accounts. 1t was said
his shortages would aggregate from
$500 to $500. AS clerk of the Modern
Woodmen of America, he had collect,
ed the last months dues Of members,
and In the capacity of collector LOT the
Mystic Workers he had accepted
monthly dues for the members Of that
organization. None of these funds
could be found
Threats of lynching were made by
members of armed squads of farmers
who were searching for the murderer
The murder took place shortly after
Mrs. Dumas and Morris had left the
Riyerview hotel in Montgomery. Doe
ems of residents rushed to the street
when three revolver shots were heard.
The murderer was seen running away
and the young woman was found dying
with one bullet hole in her forehead
and two others in her chest. ..
Mrs. Dumas was we'll dressed and
wore number of jewels. In hand
bag she had carried was found a check
for $3.50 made out to her by Morris on
the Plano State bank. 1t is the theory
of the Aurora police that Morris shot
the woman, with whom he was said to
be infatuated, after she had Tilted him.
1t is not known where the young wom-
ans relatives reside.

SHORTEST OF THE YEAR
The Sun Arose this Morning at 1880
and Let at 4:46 p. m.

Old Sol sent his first rays over the
earth at 1889 o'clock this morning
and withdrew them promptly at 4:46
in the afternoon, thus winding up the
shortest day of the year. In other
words, there was only nine hours and
seven minutes Of sunshine.
On December 22-tomorrow - the
sun will rise and set at exactly the
Same hour and minute, according to
the deductions of Dr.. Chapel at the
Iowa weather bureau.
Professor Morehouse OF Drake uni
versity says, however, that the sun
sets a few seconds later in the after
noon of the 22nd, thus making that
day slightly longer than tho 2lst.
The difference is so slight, sowever,
that it is not perceptible to the ordi-
nary human being.
In fact the difference in the length
of the days for another month will
not be perceptible, as the following
table prepared by Dr.. Chapel will
show:

Today's Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, Dec
21.-Packers had to sit up and take
notice today, and pay from 10 to 10
cents more for hogs than they did
Tuesday. Shipping pressure was
strong all day and this made the To-
cal buyers let up some on their bear
ishness but they did not do it with
any great amount of cheerfulness.
They claim hogs are $1.00 too high
and that they must come down be-
fore they can afford to kill for either
fresh meat or future orders. The
bulk today went at $7.70@7.S0 as
against $7.55@7.7O yesterday; $3.50
@7.5O last Wednesday and $710@
1926 on November 81. The top price
paid today was $3.50 as against SITS
yesterday; 1855 last Wednesday and
$40 on November 81.
Cattle again had a strong market
today and prices went up SOLO cents
above yesterdays sales. Same quail
~ OF beef cattle are now from 30 to
so cents higher than a week ago,
while stockers and feeders are from
20 to 80 cents higher. The outlook
for still further advance seems good.
Sheep also were advanced today
full 10 cents on the average and
while there was a good run there
were none too many to fill the needs
of the buyers and the market closed
strong at the advance. Lambs faired
particularly well as nearly all sales
made were 25 cents above Tuesdays
prices and so cents above week ago.
The estimate for tomorrow is 25,-
900 hogs, 1000 cattle and $4,000
sheep.
Receipts for today were 10000 cat
tie, $4,000 hogs and $4,000 sheep,
against 21,452 cattle, 32,053 hogs and
16,417 sheep for Wednesday, Dec. ",
1909.
Average price of hogs at Chicago
Tuesday was S7.66, against $7.64 Mon
day, 1854 a week ago, 1881 year
ago and 1888 two years ago.
Mondays and Tuesdays receipts
this week compared with week ago
decreased 22,2OO cattle, 24,l00 hogs
and 42,9OO sheep. Compared with
corresponding time last year cattle
decreased 300, hogs 21,3OO and sheep
1900.

Rising and setting of the sun
JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Christmas, with its lots and lots of
candies, cakes and toys,
Was made, they say, for proper kids,
and not for naughty boys.
So wash your face and brush your
hair and mind your p's and Is,
And don't burst out your pantaloons,
and don't wear out your shoes;
And don't behave like savages, but
act like decent men,
And when there's company, don't
pass your plate for pie again;
But thinking of the things you'd like
to see upon the tree,
Just fore Christmas, be as good as
ever you can be.

Utah Is assured of steady and gem

Values of cattle are 10 per cent high
