MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Aug. 17.-Cattle re-
ceipts for the opening day of the
week were the largest since April 26,
some 1873 cars, or 5000 head, as
against $500 a week ago and 1,4S7
the corresponding day a year ago.
Packers were able to manipulate
the trade on killing grades and de-
clines on practically all kinds were
10Q25c lower. possible exception be-
ing on the strictly dry lot kinds,
which were few in number. Supply
consisted for the most part of native
and western grassers.
Yard traders operated under the
bear flag this morning and the rank
and file of the steer stuff looked
around a quarter lower, while she
stuff was discounted 10 a 15c. Gen
erous supplies and the fact that quite
a number of cattle were carried over
last week, proved the leading factors
for the depression.
A moderate quota of hogs arrived
and disposal showed little or ne
change as compared with Saturday
Top for the day was at $40, while
the bulk of the sales ranged from
s6.2506.75.
Weakness was reported in thu
wires from outside markets in regard
to sheep trade, and this was reflected
in the local deal.

turned out whenever necessary. To
furnish pilots In event of war Is the
difficulty.
The law under which the aviation
corps has been organized provides that
army aviators must be ~lieutenants, I'M
married and less than thirty years or
age. except that twelve noncommis-
stoned officers may take up this work.
But the number of lleutenants who
meet these requirements Is limited.
Whether the army will take up the
matter OF dirigible balloons is a ques-
ton. General Scriven from the state
ments which he made last fall before
the house committee on military af-
fairs does not believe much In them; he
prefers the aeroplane. Other officers,
however, favor the Zeppelin type of
dirigible, while still others believe In
the nonrigid type. At present there Is
no money available for dirigibles for
the army.
The navy, however, has placed a con-
tract for a small dirigible of the non
rigid type. This is approved by those
familiar with the situation, who think
ii would be a mistake to attempt 10
build a large dirigible under present
conditions.

detectives.
Mrs. Andrew Rasche, who discovered
her daughters disappearance when the
girl failed to come downstairs for break
fast, notified the police, and a search
that extended to Philadelphia was In
stituted. When the girl was stopped
by the detectives, who thought her a
rather effeminate looking boy" she
admitted her identity.
II saw a picture In the movies OF
how a girl dressed up as n boy and got
away with It," she told Captain John
Tracey, "and l thought I could do 1t
myself, but I guess / didn't nov how
to act"
Recorder Carroll sentenced her to the
county Jail for ten days.

He Lost His Fish.

An fastener was spending his first
summer in Montana, where he had
plenty of opportunity to indulge in his
favorite sport Of trout fishing One
afternoon he had been unusually sue
cessful. but just as he was setting out
for camp with a heavy string Of fish
he caught sight of a great pine which
had blown down and was lying with
its top in the water-just the place for
hooking monster trout
He had been fishing up a deep and
rapid mountain stream, the banks Of
which We're thickly grown with bram-
bles and service-berry bushes, among
which he had to thread his way with
his rod in one hand and his heavy
string of fish in the other
Pushing along the fallen pine, he
climed upon it by dint of hard scram-
bling, holding on as best he could with
both hands full The tree was close
to the bank, and the stream was boil
ing. He was in the midst Of the
branches, crowding onward, when
suddenly, just over the roaring torrent,
something on the other side of the tree
rose up close beside him-an immense
bear, with her cubs beside her.
There was no time to hesitate. To
run was impossible, and the bear was
coming toward him, growing savage
iy. On the impulse of the moment the
man dashed his string Of trout full In
her face. In doing so he lost his bal
ance, and the next instant there was a
tremendous splash and he disappeared
in the boiling water.
He emerged some distance farther
down the stream. He scrambled to the
bank and looked back. There on the
pine sat the bear, intently watching
the hole where the man had disappear
ed. He did not so back to inform her
that he was not there, but made for
camp at a good speed.

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
The Hague, Netherlands, April g.
Tar-seeing men in the Dutch indus
trial and commercial world are already
making preparations to benefit from
the results of the war from an econom-
cial point Of view.
Among the leaders of industry and
commerce here the opinion Is almost
unanimous that a redistribution of the
avenues Of trade is certain to be
brought about. These men, of course,
take the future position Of Holland
first into consideration. In this con-
nection they look toward the Dutch
colonies, which form an empire many
times larger than tie home country
itself and whose requirements have
been hitherto supplied to a great ex-
tent by Germany and Great Britain.
The Dutch East indies, for instance,
have depended almost entirely upon
foreigners for their imports. Now,
however, it is intended to make great
efforts to push purely Dutch products
there and to create an interest on the
part Of the colonies themselves in plac-
ing on a firmer footing relations with
the UlOCHeT COuIltTy. WIN ILLS eilu III
view one step already has been taken
in granting a small beginning of self
government to the Indies, which for
the first time in their history this year
have issued big government loan,
the responsibility for which falls upon
the colonies themselves.
The Netherlands Union for the Pro-
motion Of National Industries, formed,
as it's name implies, for the purpose of
furthering Dutch trade, is part of
the movement Of Dutch industrial de-
velopment arising out Of present con-
ditions. 1t binds it's members, who are
manufacturers, merchants, storekeep-
ers and private individuals, to pur-
chase or sell only Dutch-made produc-
tions.
The members argue that much Dutch
money now going to America and
other countries for the purchase of ar
ticles of ordinary everyday consump-
ton should be kept in the country,
while instead of Dutch investors as
now seeking to place their fortunes or
savings in mortgage securities in the
United States and Canada they should
be induced to use them in the develop
ment of Dutch trade in the mother
country and it's colonies. 1t is con-

London, April I2.-Pleas for cider small
beer and drinks of low percentages OF
alcohol are filing the open forum col
umns of the newspapers. The rector of
Exeter College advocates the cause Of
cider He says:
IF the government determines that
total prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of alcohol is possible and is the only
means of dealing with the drink trouble
that diminishes our war efficiency, every
patriotic citizen will support it, But
such a measure, which would bar
Devonshire for instance from it's inno-
cent and immemcrial habit of drinking
cider, might produce grave discomfort
and law breaking
Another writer in the Times says:
my friends in Scotland nave often told
me that there was little or no drunken
ness in Scotland in the 18th century, be-
fore the taxation of the Napoleonic wars
had eXtinguished the custom of drink
ing small beer. There is surely no rea-

HOLLAND PLANS TO Benefit

tended that the capital of the Rova,
Netherlands Company for the exploit
tation Of oil lands in the Dutch Indies
is largely foreign. the Dutch havisg
neglected to avail themselves of tho
opportunities offered them, while many
other industries in the same colonie,
have fallen from the same cause 'ixn

At home in Holland even the Rotter.

fact that the country Is naturally rich
in Its Woodworking people, in ito

fuel in the shape Of peat--and shou,d

ties, it permits foreigners to imnort
many articles of ordinary use which II
could produce itself. A few instances
of this kind are safes and locks, print
ing presses, matches, soap, electric
lamps, pins and needles.
Lack of foresight on the part Of tho
Dutch was shown in the question Of
the supply of ornaments for the
Netherlands army. A combination OF
Dutchmen offered, it is said, to con.
struct an arms factory and make ri.
f1es up to the required standard and
even went so far as to manufacture
and show the Government hundred
rifles of the calibre required, but the
government declined the offer and
bought the arms abroad.
Apart from their own immediate in
terests Dutch commercial and indus
trial leaders hold the view that the
countries of South America, as a re.
suit Of the uncertainty brought about
in Europe by the war, will probably
begin to look more and more to North
America for their sources of supply.
On the other hand, they regard it as
likely that Germany. with her enor.
nous commercial and industrial ener-
gy, will be forced after hostilities have
ceased to look around for new outlets
for her trade and will thus come into
direct competition with the CnitG
States. 1t is generally believed here
that Germany will most certainly lose
her colonies, while those Of the Brit
ish Empire and Of France will be prac.
tically sealed against her trade. Rus
STA, also, 1t Is thought, will develop
commercially and industrially to re-
markable degree and thus will close I
another of Germany's markets.
