Gals Of the Postal Telegraph and

received that smallpox is prevalent

TAFT denounced the demagogues. the
preachers OF cant and those who see
only evil and delay in the courts OF
the nation here in n remarkable speech
At luncheon given in his honor by
the Business Mems league at the
southern hotel The president spoke
with an earnestness and with such
emphasis and vigor that his audience
was quite carried away. His defense
OF the supreme court and Of his own
appointments to that court was deliv-
cred in tones that rang with emotion.
During most OF the speech the pres
ident gesticulated little. but his face
grew red as he recited the tale OF
criticism that his in some parts OF the
nation greeted his selections to the
great tribunal All the way through
the speech his hearers broke in with
prolonged applause and at the end.
when Mr.. TAFT wound up. all that seri.
Gus address with a brief discourse on

and cheered loudly

make serious address at all. but

The president also addressed the

clared the term covered a wide range

But as concerns congress a. this
time he added. conservation re-
solves itself into the necessity OF pass

other purposes. With this power in the

DISPOSITION.

CATTLE-There were no cattle today, at
least nothing Of any consequence, but the
total for the week makes a very good
showing, there being an increase over last
week and a gain as compared with year
ago. The receipts at the present time are
pretty equally divided between natives and
westerns, with the prospect good for
coming.
The week opened with a sharp break in
beef cattle, but later on as demand be-
came quite active, while the supply was
not especially burdensome the market took
turn for the better. The decline at the
opening Of the week was all made up and
at the close prices are fully good as
last week. Some kinds IL anything, are
little stronger.
Cows and heifers also broke sharply the
first of the week. but as receipts later on
proved to be light, while the demand was
good and brisk, the market steadily adj
Vanced until at the close of the week
prices are 10Q15c higher than one week ago.
Stoekers and feeders have been good
sellers ell week, gradually firming up I'M
der the influence Of free buying on the
the week the market is 10D15c higher on
desirable kinds at the close OF last week.
