stoclsers and Eeeders.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-A fairly good at
tendance OF country buyers and an
effort on the part of local order buyers
! to fill some orders, caused yard dealers
to hold their supplies at somewhat
better levels than prevailed on Monday.
or the extreme close last week, but
prospective buyers were slow to take
hold at asking prices and altho right
good volume Of business was done dur
ing the course Of the day. the morning
market was slow. Prices, however.
held q firm basis and practically
nothing went to the country at more
than 100l5c reduction from high time
last week, some of the more desirable
class, in fact, being held up close to
last weeks best levels. Fresh receipts
were light and the market for them was
quiet on about the same basis as yester-
day, tho stocker she stuff showed a
strengthening tendency.
Country demand came chiefly from
nearby sources and was less particular
as to Weights than quality. A load of
Galloway steers Of high breeding and
averaging around 500 pounds sold as 1t
came from the country at $3.50 and
dealers held some of the best selected
I, classes above the cent line, a price
that was paid for small lot of very
choice light yearlings. Between $7.65@
T.s5 bulk of the strictly good to choice
selected feeders and steer yearlings Of
the higher class are now selling. while
there was generous supply of right
good to very good stockers and light
tleshed medium and strong weight
feeders on hand that sold from S7.25@
$50. The proportion of common stock
er stuff was not large. but such classes
cleared slowly. altho little business was
done below the 81. cent line and bulk
of the very plain to medium stocker
steers sold between $6.50@7.10.
Quite few buyers are turning more
favorably to stocker she stuff since the
recent high levels and strength was
reflected in the market for desirable
stock and feeding cows and heifers.
Most of the right good to very good
young feeding cows sold at $530@5.65
and few Of the best up to $5.75 5.65
while &s.26@6.sO is taking q fairly de-
sirable to very good class of stock
heifers. with a choice selected kind go

The Crazy Mountain School.

The story OF the white lily that pushed
its way to the sunlight through gritty
soil, and held It's head aloft unspotted by
SCOT. in a Pennsylvania coal mining dis
trict is paralleled by the achievement of
the Crazy Mountain School, in the noun
tainous section of far western Montana.
A wooden shack ten by twelve. with tar
paper on the wall and rain and snow
beating in at the door and putting the
lapidated desks that had been thrown
away by better favored schools in the
lowlands. small! packing boxes for seats
and the young teachers desk a plank
nailed to two sticks and set against the
wall; no blackboards. no pictures, a poor
light and few books. In this environ
ment Miss Angelina Barker's nine coun-
try pupils won the Montana state prize
and so aroused public enthusiasm that
well built and properly equipped school
house will greet them at the beginning
of the next term.
The mountains the meadows and the
valleys were secured by the children. To
press the petals the boys and girls sat
on them during school hours At horne
every possible means was used. One
boy used two sacks of flour. another d
bucket. The girls resorted to tool
chests, bureaus, trunks and bedposts.
In the end sixty-cight splendid samples
were pressed, carded, labeled and sent
off hopefully to Helena, the state capt.
tai When the prize was won and the
story told to the public a new day
dawned for the Crazy Mountain School.

FIGHT AGAINST HOME RULE
HOLDS CENTER OF STAGE
English Parliament Opens Tomorrow
and Political Workers Pour
Into London.

LONDON. February 9.-The fun fight
ing forces of the various British political
parties, in response to the urgent de-
mands of their leaders, arrived in Lon
don today for the opening of parliament
The session starting tomorrow promises
to be one of the most exciting for many
years. Practically every member of the
house of commons will be present Seri-
Gus illness will be the only excuse accept
cd for non attendance
\ lurge muster is also expected in the
house of lords. The fight against home
rule and other government measures is
to be carried on simultaneously in both
chambers,
The uuionist leaders held another
meeting today. and decided to make
listers opposition to home rule the
paramount issue. According to current
reports they will refuse to allow dis
cussion of any other subjects in the
hope OF thus forcing the government
to dissolve parliament and refer the
Irish home rule question to the people.
In both the house of commons and the
house of lords amendments are to be
moved to the address in reply to the
kings speech. These will express regrs
that nothing has been done to satisfy
the demands of Ulster.
Should these amendments fail to move
the government the house of lords will
send an address to the king in support
of an appeal to the country, and will
withhold their consent to the army an
nual bill and the expiring laws coatinu-
ance bill, thus playing havoc with the
normal processes of parliament and leav-
ing the country without any authorized
armed force and with many of its laws
in suspense.

All over the continent February
Furniture Sales are going on. II
one could compute the value of all
the furniture that will be sold this
month and write down the figures
the total would be dazzling.
Yet d few years ago little or no
furniture was so i in February.
1t was one OF the dullest months
in the year.
What has made the difference?
Intelligent merchandising and in
telligent advertising.
Just read over the furniture ad
vertisine which appears in The
Star almost any day this month
1t gives some idea of the aggres-
sive and progressive things that
are being done.
1t reflects the live, up-to-date en-
ergy of our merchants.
Yet this is only one days story
of the advertising. Each day it has
something new and different, some
thing of great Importance to say.
Readers of the advertising in the
daily newspapers are the people
who keep in the most intimate
touch with the worlds work.

Fiscal Agent of the Navy.

After Senator Lodge had declared in
the Senate that an investigation should
be made of the manner In which speyer
& Co. foated the Frisco securities in
Paris, Senator Oliver startled some of the
democrats by putting into the Record the
official designation of Speyer & Co. last
April as the fiscal agent of the American
navy.
When discussion of the incident had
passed, administration leaders de-
termined that something should be done
in the matter.
Today a high government official COM
municated with several democrats in
the Senate insisting that the matter
should be pressed for a thorough in
ouiry. 1t is argued that the Frisco deal
with the French purchasers has in
iured American financial credits, and
that recognition of Speyer &. Co. by the
government adds to that injury in the
estimation of the world.
