UNDER HOWEVER-BEEF
PRICES FALL.

Chicago, May 7.--One load Of light
hogs brought $3.50 today but the bulk
Of sales reached only 1886 to a dime
higher. Liberal receipts were in the
pens and the market was largely
waiting one.
Cattle receipts were too heavy for
prices to hold and the market was
weak to ten cents lower than yester-
days average. Most of the run too was
beef steers.
Slackness of demand lowered sheep
prices. Colorado lambs were in best de-
mand and it is expected that this week
will about clear the pens of them.

court but the department feels very
strongly the injustice Of the state Of
Iowa not only generating the defend
ant from all of his obligations to his
family sbut making it impossible for
him to carry out his obligation to his
family or In any way contribute
to their support. In view OF this
fact and in view Of the probability, Of
the defendant having an opportunity II
the case il continued until the Septem-
Der term to at least make some pro-
vision for the support Of the defend
ants family before he is sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, the state
makes ito objection to continuing the
hearing on the petition for rehearing
until the September term nor to allow
ing the defendant until July l to file
an amendment to his petition for re-
hearing"
It is almost certain the court will
take notice Of this anomalous state of
affairs and grant continuance In order
that gross injustice may not be done

mission has done all Its work thus far
without cent Of state money, but the

Secretary Corey of the state depart

sultation as to his department and the
manner in which the work is being
done. It is recalled that the efficiency
engineers made some recommends
lions which neither the committee nor
the Legislature approved sand which 1t
was found would not work out to the
advantage Of the state.
Secretary of State Allen discussed
with the committee the work Of his
office which is behind because Of the
lack Of help, especially In the auto
mobile department. He made 1t very
plain that so far as his department Is
concerned the legislature failed to
provide the means for carrying on the
work.
Information was also obtained as TO
the work of the board Of education and
various other state officers. The state
veterinary department asked for more
help for carrying on it's work.
The committee will go on with the
work of investigating various offices
with a view to recommendation to
the next legislature. There Is really
not very much that can be done by
the committee at this time in con-
nec+ion with the state work, but it will
probably prove useful for consultation
SO that heads Of departments will not
go radically wrong in the matter Of
Of money.
