NEW YORK. April 1l.,-Futures opened
firm at an advance Of 10 TO 10 points III
response to higher European cables and
reports that firm offers from Brazil were
a shade steadier. There was some further
scattering LIQUIDATION, but offerings were
well absorbed through proflt-taking by
recent sellers and scattering bull support
which was probably encouraged by pri-
vate cables from Hevre reporting de-
cldedly better tone In the market there

Their loss OF a dime this morning, the de-
cline applying to all weights, excepting a
few loads Of selected bacon animals that
sold early In the session. A more re-
sponsive demand In this branch OF the
market resulted in various sales that were
hardly worse than a nickel lower.
Receipts we're surprisingly large and
hearish feeling was at least partly due
10 this condition Other influences directed
against selling interests sprung from a
poor shipping outlet and the practical
necessity of aligning hog and provision
values. Futures have been selling at good
discounts under the cash commodity, of
course. and with stocks increasing daily,
efforts at readjustment are not TO be Won
dered at.
There was not very much activity In the

CATTLE-Receipts Of cattle were the
largest today that they have been since
Tuesday March IA The arrivals consisted
very largely of beef steers, with liberal
sprtnlkling Of butcher stock. In fact, among
the cattle were a good many desirable
killers. With such large receipts In sight
and with advices from other selling points
none too favorable the market was a little
slow in opening and the forenoon was well
advanced before any great amount OF busi-
ness had been transacted. stock cattle
and feeders were the first to sell and there
were very few of that kind Of cattle in
sight. In fact the supply was limited to a
few scattering loads and few odds and
ends. The demand was not very large.
but with so few cattle in sight everything
was cleaned up I'm a short time and the
prices paid did not show much change,
Still It will be readily understood that
with beef cattle lower and with the de-
mand for stockers and feeders as light as
Il has been for some time back anything
like a liberal run of that kind of cattle
would undoubtedly cause a much lower
range OF prices.
Beef steers we're slow all the morning
some kinds, especially the heavier and
Coarser grades, possibly as much as l5c
lower. To put II another way, the market
for the two days Is around 25c lower than
The best heifers were close to steady or

Is Still Popular.

We hear in some quarters that the
popularity of Theodore Roosevelt
has deserted him and that he no
longer has that hold upon the hearts
of the American people for which he
was once famous. A perusal of the
newspapers published in the towns
along the Northern Pacific railway
would disprove this assertion, at least
so far as the northwest is concerned.
At any station along the line, where
the Roosevelt train passed during
the daylight hours, were gathered
crowds of citizens in the hope of see
ing the ex-president, and with
Rooseveltian courtesy the great man
appeared on the platform of his car
whenever the train stopped and
spoke briefly to the people,. There
can be no doubt that the colonel still
holds prominent place in the hearts
of the people.-Moorhead News.

When a Ship Turns Turtle.


To turn turtle means, in nautical
language, that ship rolls too heavily,
fails to recover herself and after a
brief period on her beam ends turns
oopsy turvy, so that her keel points
skyward. Then, of course, she sinks.
Frequently the compressed air impris-
oned in her hull blows her bottom out
as she goes down, or If she is a steam
er her boilers burst, with like results.
As a rule. ships turn turtle because
they are burdened with too much top
hamper or from lack of sufficient bal
last, or both causes combined Rarely
does 1t happen that there are any sur
vivors, but there is one notable excep-
ton in the case, of the battleship Cap
tain, which was lost after this fashion
In the bay of Riscay. In her case ex-
actly three minutes elapsed from the
time she first turned turtle until she
finally sank, and forty Of her crew Of
600 men clambered up her side as she
rolled over and on to her keel. OF
these eighteen men were eventually
rescued and were able to describe later
on precisely what occurred.-Pearson's.

How to Cool THINGS.

"A newlywed named Jones was talk.
ing to his friend Casey the other day
about the heat in his fat and was ask
ing the other for little advice.
do you know my dining room is
the hottest place in the world?' began
the newlywed. "Do you know Of any
way l might cool it OFF,"
From experience should say that
a very good way to bring about a
change in atmospheric conditions" re-
marked the older married man, land
one that is sure to bring results one
way or the other, is to take friend
home to dinner when your wife isn't
expecting company" = Philadelphia

A Problem That stumpsd Rous se al.

A Problem That Stumpsd Rousseau. -,
"a curious. little book is an old, old
treatise on aeronautics by Jean
Jacques Rousseau, called lie Nouveau
Dedale." Like Leonardo da Vinci and
Cyrano de Bergerac. Rousseau was
haunted by the dream of aerial navi-
CATION. We read: Men walk on the
earth. they sail ON the water and swim
In it. Is not the air an element, like
the others? What business have the
birds to shut us out Of their premises
while we are made welcome in those
Of the fishes" Rousseau took no stock
In any theories propounded by the
Darius Greens Of his day. He sifted
the matter for himself and thought it
involved two problems. First to find
body lighter than air, so that it
would rise. He imagined that sooner
or later such body might present
itself. There was no telling. But
what stumped him was his second
problem-how to make that obliging
body stop rising and how in creation
to make it come down. This was too
tough tor Jean Jacques, and he wound
up his book by admitting it. For a
long time lie Nouveau Dedale" re-
manned unpublished, appearing only in
1901.

been a dream instead of reality
and those who insisted that the pres
ent legislature would surely give the
people some relief in the matter have
been subjected to rude awakening.
If men of the calibre of the senators

FOR THIS RELIEF MUCH THANKS.

They are gone, heaven be praised
and they can't come back for two
years. Who said anything about an
extraordinary session of the legisla-
'ture? Was it Governor Eberhart?
Let us hasten to release him. The
cities don't want it. They are no
swine. Less than enough is, better
than the kind of a feast we have
been sitting, at.
The oppressed and overtaxed North
doesn't want any more of it. The
North has not got justice, but. it has
escaped skinning. The cities have
not obtained equal representation
but they have been given a chance
to escape more unequal by a popular
vote. The legislature might have
halved the representation of the
cities and doubled the taxation of the
North. Let us return thanks like
the clergyman who got his hat back
from the congregation.
We have got no useful legislation
with which the game of politics or
beer could be played, but we have
got forestry, good roads, small tax
reform and abolition of the death
penalty. The rest must wait for the
return of sanity, after the presiden-
tial election Of 1912. Primary re-
form, reapportionment, working
mems compensation, scientific eff
cheney in government and conserva-
ton have not waited so long as tax
reform, and we are slowly getting
that.
We shall all be astonished to find
how sane and reasonable even the
senators will come back when the
game Of politics has been played out
and perhaps both progresisves and
