HOG RECORD SMASHED AGAIN
Week Just Ending Shows Heaviest
Receipts in Yards History.
DUE TO HIGH PRICE OF FEED
Most of Squealers Coming In Now
average Ahaut 200 Pounds in
Weight. Placing Premium
On Heavy Porkers.

Record-smashlng in hcs receipts in the
souih Omaha market is veooming a pop
ular pastime. During the week just
ended more porkers we're received than
during any other like period in the his
1ory Of the Magic City.
Receipts for the week totaled N,7ss.
which is 2.e2s more than the receipts of
The. previous record week OF January 20,
when S5,76s squealers were counted.
Mostly of Light Size.
The hogs are mostly OF the light size.
weighing around zoo pounds, and bringing
from $50 to s6.25. The top hogs at this
time are the heavy fellows. on account
Of their scarcity.
The heavy receipts are largely due TO
the high price Of feed. the raisers really
ing that they can get bigger returns from
the porkers in their present development
than by holding them longer on high
feed until they make the heavyweight
class. Another reason for the heavy re-
ceiPts Is the fact that the hog crop this
season is larger than ever.
: A pleasing feature of the heavy market
IS the fact that Omaha Is paying higher
prices than Chicago. The Omaha quotation

SAYS IT MEANS
END OF TAFT |.
Roosevelt Manager Declares
Colonel Will be Nominated

Washington, May ~1.-Senator Dixon,
Colonel Roosevelt's manager, issued
this statement after claiming that
Roosevelt had carried Massachusetts
by 5000:
The result In Massachusetts, settles
Taft's candidacy beyond and to the e&-
clusion of every reasonable doubt. Bar
ometer readings of the sentiment of the
Republican voters from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast tells one unbroken story.
Wherever the Republican voters have
been given an opportunity to express their
sentiments, az In Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Nebraska and Oregon. 1t
has been one unbroken line of Roosevelt
Victories. The revolt of the rank and file
of the Republican party against Taft's
leadership is overwhelming and complete.
They want Roosevelt as their candidate,
and they intend to nominate him as their
candidate.
No political machine can live In the face
OF the deep seated revolt of the masses OF
Republican voters against the attempt to
deliver them over to the support of Taft s
candidacy. Tho Republican states of the
north have spoken. Roosevelt will be
nominated at Chicago on the first ballot
and will be elected In November by the
biggest majority ever given a presidential
candidate.
The Taft headquarters refused to
concede the presidents defeat In Mas
sachusetts. No statement was issued.
The information of the Taft managers
was that it was a neck and neck race
now.

FEAR ANOTHER
SERIOUS FLOOD
Heavy Rains in the Missis-
sippi Valley.

Washington, May /. - Following
rivers tributary to the Mississippi and
the consequent sudden rise of these
streams the Mississippi country is
again confronted with prospects of a
severe food of farTeachiug damage,
as serious in aspect as the recent rec
ord breaking high water which was
SO disastrous.
Army officers who are stationed all
along the Mississippi from East St.
Louis to New Orleans and for some
ported to the war department that re
newed damage IS already developing In
some of the leyees, aud further de-
structlon of property throughout the
valleys is threatened. Approximately
100000 has been expended up to date
In feeding the refugees.
The heavy rains in the Ohio. Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi valleys
during the last week has brought the
water back to high stage at Hickman,
Mo; Memphis and Helena, Ark, and
rises are reported all the way down to
the gulf. The people are returning to
New Madrid, Mo, and T~iptonville.
Tenn, seeking shelter, and the levee
at Charleston, Mo, has broken again.
The situation is reported from Mem
phis as critical, and there is urgent
need of supplies in Memphis and ada
cent territory.
The tug Nak0mis Is on the way to
the vicinity Of Baton Rouge with ra-
tons, forage, barges, small boats, etc,
for the rescue of people and animals
that are cut off.
Reports received at the war depart
ment from the engineer officers in the
Memphis district stated that the stage
at Cairo was 1875 feet. with a rise in
the Ohio, Cumberland, Kentucky and
Tennessee rivers and the Mississippi
above as well as below Cairo. This
will make the entire situation perhaps
as bad as it was at It's height ten days
to two weeks ago, when all previous
high water records were broken at
many points along the Mississippi river.
New breaks in the levees north of
B~irdspoint were reported.

'ACQU|TTAL IN
BRIBERY CASE
Took Atlantic County Jury
Five Minutes to Decide.

Mays Landing, N. j., May lit took
the jury in the election case tried be
fore Justice Samuel Kalisch OH an In,
dictnent found by the elisor drawn
grand jury against City Clerk James
e. Soul and Charles E. S. Steelman of
Somers Point City for alleged bribery
Of a bay man. Walter Johnson, only
guilty, the first verdict Of acqulttal
that has been returned since the pro
ceedings started. The bare story of
Johnson, with its attendant d~iscrepan-
ctes, was overwhelmed by the open de
mails of both defendants, the circum-
host Of good character witnesses and
the official election records, which
showed hat such a ballot as johnson
said he voted was never cast.
Whether or not n Of the other nu-
merous indictments against Steelman
and Scull will be moved is not known,
the state not having made any an
nouncements. Justice Kalisch is ex-
pected TO sit here today to decide what
cases will be tried next, as there are a
number yet on the court calendar.
1t was one of the most interesting
cases yet tried, and all the legal ma
chinery of the state was directed
against the defendants to secure a con
~viction.
Walter Johnson, the states chief and
only witness, whose alleged confession
Of bride taking cannot be used against
him under the laws Of Jersey, went to
the witness chair amid covert teers
and Kisses on the part Of many Somers
Point residents, who attended the trial
In large numbers, and responded to the
oath with a loud Il WILL" looking def
Rntly around the courtroom. He said
on election day Steelman approached
him and said if he would come over
and vote with "the boys" he would get
So. Later he met Scull, he said, who
passed him a ticket with a five dollar
note. He told them he would vote
their way.
Once Justice KalIsch interrupted the
witness.
Didn't you know It vas wrong to
take the money for your voter"
yes" answered the bay man, 'but
I'm a poor man, judge, and at that
time / was hard up, and the So looked
good to me-"
Didn't 1t strike you strange that
they should pay that much for votes
when there was no contestf" he was
asked.
"Well, they said they did it to keep
the boys In line"
On cross examination Johnson be
came considerably confused and was
forced to admit that he was sore on
the organization because he had been
dumped" off the election board.
