SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, July 7.-Receipts of
cattle were again swelled by south
ern stockers in transit and while the
estimate called for 1900 head, sal
able offerings did not number over
500 head. A week 20 the run was
1903, while 77S arrived the CORE
spending day a year ago.
General conditions surrounding
the market for killing grades favor
ed the selling interests and with a
good strong demand from all sources
prices were maintained on a steady
to loo higher basis with the previous
day. Top for the day landed at
$3.50.
Nothing new or startling developed
in the stocker and feeder depart
ment. Fresh supply was moderate
and sellers were able to hold the
sharp advance noted the opening day
of the week.
Light supplies of porkers all
around the market circuit proved a
bull factor and prices ruled steady to
sc up. A top of 1855 was reached
on choice lights, while the bulk of
the sales covered a spread of from
$7.15 7.45.
Assortment of sheep and lambs at
hand this morning was limited and
prices showed little or no change as
compared with late last week. Best
lambs sold at $3.50, while there was
a showing of ewes at $500.

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR PROHIBITION
Dry Leaders Feel Hopeful OF
1916 Campaign.

Pierre, s. d., June 29.-That the
large number of questions which will
appear on the ballot al the November,
1916. election will help rather than
hinder prohibition is the belief TX
pressed by r.. N. Holsaple, %superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League
and leader of the dry forces OF the
state, in an interview here. 1t was
suggested that the fact of various
questions appearing on the ballot
might start a general vote no" cam
paign and prohibition as well as
everything else be swept into the dis
card.
who win start a general vote no
campaign? ?" asked Mr.. Holsaple. Con
tinuing, he said: mo one but the
liquor crowd will attempt such a
thing and the average voter will not
be deceived by any of their tactics.
On the other hand each of the several
propositions submitted will have its
cuHHOi ~ Who Will ali b0 1hL0AtSbON
in securing the largest possible yes
vote for their particular measure.
Can't you see at once how this is
bound to precipitate a general vote
yes movement? Yes, this campaign
is more likely to be yes than no
because of the large number of ques-
tons on the ballot"
Then, too continued he, 1--WE
shall have a bigger organization than
ever before. We are busy organizing
the state and by winter will have sew
eral new men in the field sc that a
machine If you choose to call 1t that,
will be constructed which will get
the issues of the campaign to every
voter. Every voter In this state will
be seen personally and IL he is not
for prohibition our workers will try
to find out his objection and overcome
1t. Rest assured this is to be a cam
paign in which nothing within the
range of possibilities will be neglect
ed. III this state stays wet 1t will not
be our fault"
Asked concerning the campaign OF
publicity, Mr.. Holsaple stated that II
is planned to use the columns of the
press as a means of getting the at
tention OF the voters both through
articles contributed to the newspapers
and in paid ads later In the campaign.
1t is also expected that over five mil.
lion leaflets and pamphlets will be
distributed throughout the state, and
that some of the leading campaign.
ers of the nation will be brought to
the state to assist the local state
workers and speakers. Public meet
ings will be held in every voting pre-
cinct OF the state. 1t is estimated the
campaign will cost about $4,000.

new DEVICE GUIDES
SUBMARINE PILOTS
Indicator Shows Exact Posi-
ton Of Craft Under Water.

New York.-Hudson Maxim has In
vented a new position indicator for
submarines, which he believes to be at
once cheaper and much better than
those now in use. This implement
will enable a submarine to find her
away with the dangerous necessity Of
going to the surface for hat purpose.
Mr.. Maxim has applied for a patent
on this. He said that while II had not
yet been granted, he understood 1t
would be obtained without difficulty
and that the device would enable the
captain of a submarine to find his posi-
ton on a map Mt any time within a
short distance.
There are position indicators of an
English design in use in all the navies
of the world said Mr.. Maxim. Their
work, however, is cruder. There was
an instance at the beginning Of the
war, where a German submarine,
caught I'm a bay by a British %iotilla,
was unable to find the way out of the
harbor without rising to the surface.
As o o as she appeared above the wa
ter she was attacked and destroyed.
My device would enable a submarine
commander so caught to locate the
mouth of the bay with accuracy and
slip out under his enemies. The de-
vice also costs only $1,000 to install In
a submarine. whereas the position indi-
Gator at present In use costs $1,000.
IL could Of course be used on any ship
as well as on a submarine.
AS to a device to enable a subma-
rine to locate another vessel without
coming to the surface, there Is no one,
so far as l know, who has come any
where near solving this problem. Every
offensive device In the history of war
fare has in the end been answered by a
defensive instrument. and ! have no
doubt that in time to come some one
will invent a reply to the submarine.
But there is no sign of it yet"
Mr.. Maxim is experimenting with an
improved periscope. but was reluctant
to discuss this part OF his activities,
Both this and the position finder. he
said, would be offered to the United
States government as its exclusive
property, and the navy department had
already allowed him to inspect the sub
marines at present I'm use I'm order TO
find the improvement most needed.

BUSINESS AND DRINK.

Trade papers are commenting on
the remarkable change in business
circles with regard to drinking. Guz-
zling booze is neither encouraged nor
tolerated as in the past. Business
men are cutting it out. The number
of total abstainers is on the increase.
The number of moderate drinkers is
declining. Up-to-date business men
do not consider it good form to line
Is not necessary to set 'em up" On
the contrary, the business nan who
drinks is regarded with suspicion
from a business standpoint, for to
conduct a successful business a man
requires that all his faculties be at
their best, and the drinking man dulls
his mind and In the end loses out.
Concerning the passing OF the trav-
cling salesman with the whisky
breath and the habit of wanting to
treat everybody he meets, the Mail
Order Journal recently had this to
say: Gone forever is the swagger.
ing, joke telling salesman-he with
the whisky breath and the cigarette

taken by the clean-cut, business-like
gentleman, who makes his sales, not
by treating, joking and story telling,
but by craftsmanship, or brains intel.
ligently applied. The change is, OF
course, a credit to the craft, due to
the inroads of advanced education. 1t
was not many years ago that a sales
man to be successful must be a good
story teller, a moderate drinker and
a good liar. Now he needs polish, de-
pertinent and tact.
The former type, in truth, did not
drink because they liked it, but be-
cause it was a tool of the trade. Some
drank, 1t is true, like the C"hinaman,
who exclaimed, after he bought a
quart of fiery, e~xecrable, cheap whis-
ky: me no drinkee for drinkee; me
drinkee for drunkee." Most statesmen
did not drink for pleasure; they
drank for business, but, In the words
of Uncle Remus, "The world do
move" Civilization has caused this
class to be tabooed in all good bust
ness circles, and the mar who dissi
pates soon finds himself on the scrap
heap of men. Today few men who
sell whisky even drink. This proves
conciusively it need not be q drinker
that sells the goods, but a thinker.

tify against Harry X. Thaw, her hus-
band, in the jury proceedings to de-
termine his mental condition, reach
ed New York from her camp at Cha
teaugeay lake, neal Malone, N. Y,
and announced that che will stand on
her constitutional rights and will not

Mrs. Thaw made her statement to

inasmuch as the hearing is a civil
proceeding and not a criminal case

testify as to the time that "Thaw
came home in a cab"
"He returned one morning between
10 o'clock and H." Mr.. Scribner said.
Il heard him come upstairs and pass
my door. He went into his room and
came out in a few seconds. | looked
out and saw him going down stairs
with a shotgun in his hand. A friend
of mine and myself followed him and
disarmed him. He went back to his
room and sat on his bed"
James o. Nichols. the next witness,
testified that he saw Thaw on the
sidewalk when a student at Harvard,
engaged in an alteration with a cab
man over the amount of his fare, and
that he heard Thaw threaten to shoot
the man.
