A conclave of the cardinals will be-
called, probably for September 8, for
the purpose of electing a new Pope.
The place is a matter of conjecture,
some believing it will be Italy, others
being in favor of Holland as more
likely to remain neutral in the war.
The pontiff early yesterday expert
enced an attack of coughing that
greatly distressed him. He could not
move in bed without assistance, and
the struggle he made to breathe was
painful to witness. As the supreme
moment approached the coughing
ceased, and the restlessness which
the doctors had been unable to re-
lieve disappeared. The features of
the patient, which had given evidence
Of his pain, resumed normal ex-
preston except for the pallor, which
increased.

The Pope's two sisters and his sec
retaries could not restrain their sobs,
and Their, voices seemed to bring back
the pontiff from the state of coma
into which he had lapsed- His eyes
opened and his lips moved. and It
was plain that he was making an
effort to impart final blessing. For
a moment it seemed that dissolution
had taken place. and then the lips
moved again. Together in one. all

'It Is All Over"
DIR. Marchiafava released the wrist,
which dropped pulseless on the pom
tiff's breast. The physician bent over
the bed. listening for a heart that
was stilled.
"It is all over" he said, and rever-
emily kissed the pontiff's hand. In
turn the others did the same, after
which they intoned prayers for the
dead.
Immediately after, candle lights
fickered in all the windows of the
Vatican and the whole personnel OF
the apostolic palace, with the per-
mission of the papal secretary, pass

today inquired of the United States
what its attitude would be toward

The inquiry of the Chinese govern

The Chinese government is not sure
that such a program would meet

Celebrates Ninety Fourth Birthday

Last Sunday with its sunshine and
gladness brought particular JOY to the
home of relatives and friends of Hon.
Thomas Harvey Halle. As the custom
has been for years, Mrs. J. f. Flow
ers, the daughter of Mr. Halle with
whom he lives kept open house all day
for him. A constant stream of callers
kept coming and going throughout
the day, shaking hands with Mr.. Halle
and congratulating him on the fact
that he has been preserved so well
and so long, Sunday being his oath
birthday. He received them graciously
and with becoming dignity and cor
diality. inviting them to come often
as he is shut in and unable to get out.
Mr.. Halle finds great pleasure in
meeting his long time many friends.
Ninety four years is long time.
There is no question but that Mr..
Halle is the oldest man in Pennington
and most likely in st. Francois county.
The Times extends hearty conEratu-
lations to him that in the providence
of the Advise Father he has been
kept, and trusts that many more
years may be given him in health and
happiness to Iinger here with friends
and relatives.

Stock Report

National Stock Yards, ILL.,, March
II, 1914.-The sheep trade was very
slow and backward today with values
about steady for the best grades. Re-
ccipts were around 5000. A band of
choice Colorado lambs topped at $7.S5
with good Westerns ranging at $3.50
to SITS. Culls to fair lambs brought
$3.50 to $7.25. Some choice, clipped
lambs sold for S6.75, a steady price
but, buyers were not anxious for them
as it is bit to early in the season
and they are being Disseminated
against owing to the loss in wool. Fat
ewes commanded S5.75 to Sc and
bucks $4.75 to s5.25. No yearlings or
aged wethers were on sale.
Hog receipts 1000. The gcodly
numbers the past few days has rather
placed buyers temporarily on "easy
street" and trade has lacked the keen
ness of recent sessions. Todays mar
ket was slow at steady to shade lower
values; top 1892 Y.
Cattle receipts 1000. The fat steer
market has slumped fully 25c since
last weeks close. Trade for butcher
cattle shows little change.
