SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. May 6.-Reeeipts of
cattle today were estimated at 1900
head, as against 2,964 a week ago
and 4,063 the corresponding day a
year ago.
Clearance for fat cattle sent in
from the country today showed very
little change from that of yesterday.
Supply was of fair volume and there
was some complaint about the action
of packers on the plain heavy kinds,
while the good handy weight and
yearling classes met a ready sale at
firm rates.
Statesmen scored another advance
on stock cattle this morning. Run
was rather light and with the country
inquiry keeping pace with incoming
receipts a stronger trend to prices
was in evidence. Steer values We're
quoted at 10 q 5c higher, while she
stuff ruled just strong.
Unevenness was a feature to the
market for hogs. Shippers were the
only ones operating early and they
paid prices that were a big nickel
higher for the suitable kinds, paying
as high as $7.35. Packers played
a waiting game and when the urgent
shipping orders we're completed took
over the balance at steady to strong
prices.
Direct stuff to the local packers

Picking, May 6.-The Chinese capital
is remarkably quiet in the face of
what the Picking Gazette calls "the
gravest peril in China's modern his.

are going about their business as
usual apparently with no knowledge of
the problem which confronts their
country. They might easily be arous-

every measure to prevent anti-Japa.

Only the educated upper classes are
kept informed of the progress of nego.

After the news was received OF
Japan's proposed ultimatum a cabinet
council was held at the winter palace

TO FEED WORLD ON
3wOO.OOO,OOO ACRES
United States to Become Cat
tie Raising Center.

Chicago. One OF the results of the
American output of horses and cattle.
This country will become the meat pro.
ducing SPOT Of the world. The annual
output OF 1874 900 head will probably
be Increased from 20 to 80 per cent.
Reports from Europe have shown
that the destruction of live stock due
to the war is beyond all present reali
zation. All the countries have beer
chary about emitting statistical infor-
nation concerning 1t because they are
trying to maintain an air of calm and
confidence about their food supplies.
But the truth il getting out and Ii Is.
In brief. that Europe will be Empower
ished IN regard to live stock supplies
sooner than In almost any other eco
nomic direction.
Two chief results are already begin
ming to be perceived. One. and the oh
vious one. Is that all the world will
need meat from the United States as
never before.
The other Is that the United States
will change places with Europe In re
gard to supplying the finest breeding
stock. The magnificent breeding stock

being sacrificed to the war. and il Is
freely predicted that after the war
American breeders will be called upon
10 export fine animals In large numbers
to countries from which in the past
they have been wont to import.
Europe Is the greatest live stock
country In the world, taken as IA whole.
Its supplies are vastly larger than
those of the United States, Of South
America or any other of what are com
regions. But Europe. because of It's i'm
mense population. still has "A deficiency
that must be made up by im%portations
and so Its place as a stock growing
continent Is not rightly understood.
The greatest of the stock raising ter
ritories are involved In the war. They
are killing off first their horses. de
stroying them In battle and the deadly
transport service and also making II
impossible to raise the annual crop OF
colts. Thus the loss Is really a double
one.
For a long time the capacity of tn,
western ranges for producing anC
maintaining stock has been growing
less. As a result government statistic
show a reduction of the number OF cat

PEST ON The COAST
Particularly Destructive to Many
Forms of Bulbous Plants.

Washington, May 5.-The devastat-
ing eelworm, scientifically known as
the tylenchus devastatrix, has again
made its appearance in the Pacific
Northwest. according to reports to the
department of agriculture.
The pest, a tiny threadlike organ
ism, is particularly destructive to
many forms of dubious plants. Once
a crop has become infested there is
no known cure. 1t has proved ex.
tremely destructive in Holland and
Australia.
Heretofore the United States has
been practically free from the pest.

HE ASKS HELP
Thoma Used Necktie in Effort
at StranguIation-Had Been

Out Of work and complaining to his
friends that he could not collect So
due him from his former place of em-
ployment, John Thoma, thirty one
years old, of 1858 Fifteenth avenue,
attempted suicioe at his boarding
house this morning.
Thoma. who 1t Is believed is de-
mented, tied necktie around his
throat and attempted to strange
himself. From what could be learned
today, Thoma did not like the chok-
ing sensation, and although main
tanning a tight grip on the tie man
aged to scream. His cries were
heard by passersby, who rushed up
stairs into the room and while one
held Thoma another telephoned for
the City Hospital ambulance. Thoma
was taken to that institution, Where'
n is said. that he is out of danger.
Edward Randecker, who has sa-
loon at 1858 Fifteenth avenue, anu
,vhera Thoma had been boarding Tor
the past two weeks, said that Thoma
had told him that he had been dis
charped by the concern for whom he
was working about two weeks ago
and that the firm had owed him S2S.
Thoma. according to Randecker, SAID
that when he had gone to collect nus
money he had only received WV, ana
that at the time he received tnat
amount had been choked by MS Tor
mer boss. He did not say who this
man was. Randecker said that
Thona was not a heavy drinker, but
would sit at a table and cry for hours
at a time about the money that was
due him He also said that Thoma
had walked the streets one night with
a badge on, telling people that he was
a detective. Thoma will be placed
under observation.

VETERINARIAN IS
B|TTENBY HORSE;
FEARS RABIES
DR.. Wander Roest Undergoes
Pasteur Treatment as Safe
guard from Disease.

Dr. Henry Wander Roest, the local
veterinary surgeon. of 10 Orchard
street, is undergoing Pasteur treat
ment as the result OF having been
bitten on the arm by horse which
is believed to have had rabies. The
horse was owned by William Lued-
deke, proprietor of the Newark and
New York Express, at 80 Monroe
street. and the incident occurred
Saturday afternoon.
The horse had been under treatment
for several days, but had shown no
undue signs of violence until Satur-
day. While DR.. Wander Roest was
trying to remove a bit from its mouth
that afternoon, the animal suddenly
became excited and bit the veterinary
surgeon several times on the arm be-
fore he was able to get free.
The animal was later shot. and its
head sent to the City Hospital labora-
tory for examination. There 1t was
discovered that the horse was suffer-
ing from rabies. Just how the ami
NAL contracted the disease is some.
what of a mystery. No mark in
dicating a dogbite could be found on
its body.
So far DR.. Wander Roest has felt
no i'll effects from the bites, but is
in nervous state over fear of de-
veloping the rabies.
DR.. Wander Roest is well known in
this city. He was elected president of
the New Jersey Road Horse Associa-
tion last January, and has been an
active member of that organization
for number of years. He is the vet
erlnary surgeon for the S. p. c. A.
