in the last fortnight yearlings have had
5O@75c bulge In value.
A fair idea of the rapidity of recent
advances is indicated by top on shorn
stock Friday Of $3.50 as against a $500
limit as recently as April % last, and
a bulk of $S@S.25 Friday against a
s6.35@6.S5 bulk on that low spot.
The advance this week cannot be
laid wholly, by any means, to supply
figures. While Chicago has had a
few less than last week, the run here
has been about 10000 more than the
corresponding week last year and the
weeks six-market supply aggregates
about 100000 against $4,000 last week
and 10000 year ago. The increase
has been chiefly of southern grass
stuff at Kansas City. Eastern mar
kets have been lightly supplied, and
soaring prices there have indicated
the excellent health the dressed NUT
ton trade east has been showing. This
also applies to Chicago and elsewhere,
local prices for dressed lamb having
advanced several cents this week.
What will happen next week and
thereafter is much mooted question.
Some reaction from recent sharp ad-
vances which have lifted the lamb
market to the highest basis since Jan
uary 1918, would appear logical, but
next weeks supply prospect is not en-
couraging to buyers. A spell Of hot
weather, with dressed mutton prices
as high as they are now, would prove
depressing factor, and a pretty gen
eral feeling exists that the limit of the
market, if not already reached Will
be early next week, as southern lambs
are beginning to run freely and pack
ers showing signs of strong desire
to arrest the upward flight of values.
Louisville reported a run Of 5000 Fri
day and is expected to show good runs
next week and thereafter through June
and July.

Chapter XIV.

y No account of the career and
achievements Of Rev. w. A. Sunday
would be complete or accurate unless
1t made full recognition of the part
Mrs. Sunday has had in both. SO
nearly coincidental are the Christian
ministry and the married life of Mr..
Sunday that separation of the two
is almost impossible. It is doubtful
II either of the couple realize the
amount the other has contributed to
the success of the work.
Mr.. Sunday was married about a
year after his conversion, but before
he began actual evangelical work.
Mrs. Sunday, therefore, began married
life as the wife Of baseball player.
This involved certain amount OF
travel and variety Of associations
vastly different from those which
were to become her everyday expe-
,rience.
To the thousands and thousands
who have set beneath the spell Of Mr..
Sundays voice. Mrs. Sunday is ahec-
tionately known. as "Ma." Nothing
could be more effective and at the
same time finer compliment to the
woman than the manner in which Mr..
Sunday Is wont to introduce her to his
audience. After he has presented the
assistants, and the choir leader, and
the soloists, and the instrumentalist,
he will usually end by that terse
~h~oea th;c Sc, Mo
!. It means everything to the evangel'
list. In public and in private he is
generous in his acknowledgment OF
the important part she plays In all
his work. Essentially she is his bust.
ness manager, practically she is the
buffer which comes between the
preacher and the thousand and one
little trials of life which do so much
to disturb the even tenor Of existence.
At home and abroad Mr.. Sunday re.
mains the impetuous sweetheart
which he was in his baseball days, In
q recent campaign he paid this tribute
TO Mrs. Sunday:
/ 1--WE never yet gone contrary to Mrs.
Sundays advice that haven't found my
self up against 1t. Nell wouldn't take
hrst prize at beauty show, but she's got
more good horse sense than any woman
i ever saw In my life. And think she's
the most beautiful woman I ever saw.

CHAPTER XIV.-Continued)
In this letter DR.. GLADDEN. said:

ut has been said q great many times
that I had no right to oppose Mr.. Sun
day. because had never heard him: that
my judgment had been founded on hear
say. This IL simply silly. i have never
been in house Of prostitution or gam
bling den, but have right to protest
against them. With respect to a public
teacher whose works are known and
read Of all men, every man has a right
to judge Mr.. Sundays sermons, in
stenographic reports, authorized by him
self, have been printed over and over In
hundreds OF newspapers. He breaches
the same sermons everywhere. He uses
the same language everywhere. The bits
Of choice English picked out and printed
In the daily press are substantially the
same everywhere. Mr. Sunday has never
repudiated them; on the contrary he
keeps repeating them.
ITO say that one has taken pains to in
form himself with respect to this teach
Ing has no right to express an opinion of
Mr.. Sunday as q teacher is simply fatu-
Gus. To a public teacher, surely, the
judgment of Jesus must be applied, BY
thy words thou shalt be justified and by
thy words thou shalt be condemned
wonder II these brethren have never ex-
pressed an, adverse Judgment respecting
teachers whom they have never heard.
Doubt, II any Of them ever heard Thorn
As Paine, or Robert Ingersoll. or Mary
Baker Eddy. or the Pope: and yet am
sure that they would not hesitate to ex-
press their opinion concerning their
teachings
Some Of my critics accuse me Of the
aame intolerance as that OF which I COM
plain In Mr.. Sunday. I think that my
neighbors know that 7 am not intoier-
ant. have never in my thirty years in
MI nh,,a ro10 oA IN,
right to speak his mind. have never
engaged In any controversy on religious
vubjects. I have never replied to criti-
cisms on my own teaching. But when a
man comes into town and spends seven
weeks in. preaching and teaching and
cracticing intolerance. 1t seems to be nee
eEsary to raise voice against it. There
Is just one thing that tolerant mind
Cannot tolerate. and that is intolerance.
That ought to be plain without a diagram.
But II one Is needed, here it il:
For am in love with love
And the sole thing hate is hate;
For hate IL the objectionable sin.
And love Is the Holy Ghost Within"
Gradually the sober minded men OF
the church realized that no possible
good could come Of the continued ar
gument. There was none who could
directly refute the plain statements
made by DR.. GLADDEN.. On the other
hand they were confronted with the
fact Of largely increased church mem
bership. with church activity on the
part Of men and women. but particu-
larry men, who never had given time
or thought to anything concerning the
church or the things for which the
church stands. Through the efforts of
these lay-members conversions con-
tinued to be made and accessions
were made to church membership In
Z manner that was highly gratifying
to the leading laborers in the Vine
yard.
With the passing of weeks and
months by tacit consent the Gladden.
Sunday controversy became q closed
incident.

GRAND JURY WANTS
 COURTS ADVICE
Shows Lack of Confidence In District Attorney Spence-Investigating
 Election Frauds.

The grand jury today requested of Judge F. M. Brown instructions re- garding the right of a woman to vote in Alaska when her husband has a residence in some other part of the United States.
 The judge advised the jury that the home of the husband and wife was the same and that in but few instan- ces could wife have a separate home from her husband.
 While informing the jury that such vote as outlined in the present ment to him was c.ear1y Illegal, yet it was not advisable always to prose- cute all offenders, partly because con- victions could not be obtained where the evidence would show the party believed they had a right to vote, and also because of bitter political feeling which existed following elections. The judge stated that at this time it were better if election frauds were not investigated unless the jury felt that widespread colonization or frauds had been committed. He also advised the jury to follow the advice of the district attorney in such mat ters.
 The request of the jury for advice from the court indicates lack of confidence in the advice of District Attorney Spence, who is reported to have advised woman on election day that although her husband had his first papers only, yet she was entitled to vote and her husband was not. This, however, is said by the attorneys in town to be in error, as the citizenship of the wife follows that of the husband.
 It is known that many illegal votes were cast in Valdez, Cordova and Seward at the last election and it is possible the jury may bring in indict- ments against some of the more flag rant violations.
 It is also known that vote was cast in Seward by man who voted on his first papers, although warned he had no right to do so; an alien is reported to have voted in Val deg upon discharge papers from the army although not a citizen. Other cases are also known and may be in- vestigated.

WILSON WORKS
 ON HIS MESSAGE
Will Deliver 1t To Congress Soon Af- ter Converting Next Month-Works
 With Ancient Typewriter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-President Wilson is at work upon his annual to congress, which he will read when congress reconvenes in December. The president is writing the message upon an ancient type writer which he has had for many years and used when president of Princeton College. The contents of the message cannot be learned but it is expected to deal largely with the foreign relations of the United States and more especially with the Mexican situation, which, while not as accute as formerly, is still in very un- satisfactory condition.
 The message will not be over 5000 words long and the president, follow ing the custom set by him shortly after his inauguration, will read the message in the hall of congress to the members of both houses.

GERMAN PRISONERS
 NOT WELL TREATED
K aiser's Government Insists That Un. less Better Conditions Are Pro-
 vided Will Retaliate,

BERLIN, Nov. 19.-The treatment of German prisoners by the different nations has caused the military au- thorities much concern. They do not desire to retaliate upon the prisoners held by the Germans, but will do so unless the treatment accorded Ger man prisoners is immediately better ed. An investigation has been made for the German government by the American diplomatic representatives, of the conditions in German camps where the prisoners of war are de- tained and in every instance the men have been found to be well treated, we'll fed and provided with warm clothing and plenty of medical at- tendance. In fact the prisoners are better cared for than many of the citizens of Germany. The war de- partment, however, considers the treatment of Germans by the British government is unfair and demands immediate improvement of the con- ditions in British and Russian mili- tary concentration camps and if it is not complied with retaliatory measures will be taken and similar treatment given prisoners held in Germany.
 The Russians are holding German prisoners in Siberia, where they are half-starved, barefooted and sick and the death rate has been heavy. The Russians have sent the prisoners into the wilds of Siberia so that they can- not escape.
 At Hong-Kong the British are forc- ing the German prisoners of war to clean sewers and other degrading work in spite of the protests of the officers.
 The Japanese government, however, is treating the prisoners with more consideration, feeding them better, providing for medical care and at- tention, than an nation. The few Ja- panese held in Germany are now be- ing given the best treatment possible in return.
