will win at the hands of congress and
q suffrage amendment will be submit
ted to the states. For many weeks, the
advocates of suffrage have been putting
forth tremendous efforts to turn the
tide in congress in their favor.
The Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage is one of the organizations
that is working hardest here. It was
announced today that this organization
had started its years activities by es-
tablishing headquarters in the Cam,
eron House. In Madison Place, where
the sessions of It's first national con-,
vention were held in December.
This beautiful residence, which has
been the home Of such men as Senator
Don Cameron of Pennsylvania, Vice
President Hobart and Senator Mark
Hanna, all closely connected with the
history of their time, will be the basis
of operations from which the Union
will conduct its campaign for the
Susan 3. Anthony amendment,

union; Miss Lucy Burns, vice chair
man. and other officers will make their
homes in the house. All committee

meetings, will be held in the SPACIOUS

Of developing diseases Of the stomach,
heart, or muscles.
ITO sprawl upon ones stomach or
back in a stuffy bed is ridiculous and
Injurious as we'll. In such posture
the heart, stomach, and lungs are
compressed until they nearly cease
their functions, as is attested to by
the weakened pulsation noticed several
hours after retiring. and by the I'M
comfortable feeling in the region of the
stomach when one has retired after
having eaten a hearty meal. The
greatest injury, however. is done to the
nervous system by compression Of the
important nerve centers.

SHENANDOAH DEATH MYSTERY.
Farmer Found Dead in Creek and
Barn Ablaxe.

Shenandoah, Jan. 5.-Alex McNerny,
prosperous farmer. was found dead in
small creek here yesterday, a bullet
wound in his throat. The coroner's
jury today held he had committed sui
eide.
McNerny, "a years old and single.
last night called his brother Robert
to his home and talked with him q
few minutes. Then he left the house
and soon afterward a revolver shot
was heard. When the brother went
to investigate he found the barn on
McNerny's place in flames and sup
posed that McNerny's body was in the
flaming building.
McNerny lived with his aged mother,
who is near death as q result Of the
death OF her son. He was a sort Of
recluse and tho he lived within two
miles OF Coin is said not to have been
in that town for the last seven years.
Relatives are not wholly satisfied
that he came to his death thru sui
eide and an investigation is being
made.

PLAYING SOLDIER NO JOKE.
Clinton MiIitiamen Rounded Up BY
Sheriff and COMPELLED to Drill.

Clinton, Jan. 5.-Invading ball room
and theater, Sheriff Ramsey and his
deputies rounded up half a dozen men,
bers of Battery A, who forgot or who
wilfully disobeyed the order of the
commanding officer to appear for drill
last night. When they did appear they
put in two hours of drill, even tho
some were not brought in until nearly
midnight.
One member was taken from a dance,
another as he was leaving the theater,
while others were picked up in various
places about the city. Those whose at
tendance was made compulsory by the
sheriff represented only a small pro-
portion of the whole battery, but it was
determined to make effective the order
that was issued. Should it be neceS-
sary the performance will be repeatd
next Monday night.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Broad demand from
all quarters lifted the hog market to-
day, Notwithstanding large receipts.
Whatever is inducing the present
tremendous movement Of hogs into
the market it must be recognized that
the producer is not cashing a great
raft of trash by reason of the corn
condition. *rk31
Hog quality generally is good. and
heavy supplies in the market simply
evidence greater production than in
recent years. 49,
Were the runs trashy underweights
there would be reason to feel that the
midwinter crop would point to scarcity
later on, but this is not the case.
Obviously the country has produced
a crop far above the expectations Of
many in the trade. 1t must be taken
into consideration that the past season
was one of fewer cholera ravages than
in years past.
One saving factor in the situation is
an enormous demand for the product.
This and the fact that the winter crop
is being produced on a high costing
corn crop should be sufficient reason
for the market holding aioof from
pTOpleEleQ IN some quarters.
Cattle.
Soft weather acted as handicap on
the sale of cattle.
Eastern demand is not responding
strongly despite the lifting of embar-
goes by eastern states. In Pennsyl-
vania where restrictions were recently
lifted from many of the smaller plants,
it is claimed that they are having diff
Guilty in securing permits to ship Chi
cago stock. The shutting out Of much
of this demand from smaller concerns
is being severely felt in the trade.
With these plants running full blast
and calling upon Chicago for a gener
Gus quota of medium to good steers,
whole lot more competitive bidding
would be forthcoming from the ship
per buyers in the trade and much
added vim would thus be given the
market.
Beef outlet fails to show material
growth following cessation Of holiday
poultry trade, and, altho coolers are
well drained Of surplus product, big
local houses are disposed to keep close
to shore and fill their needs only as
they arise, the belief being that jan
uary will bring out close onto the the
total shortfed steers which came in the
closing month of 1918.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were scarce.
Shippers and city butchers were the
early operators on choice lambs, pay
ing steady prices for several of loads
of that class and buying choice to
prime fed westerns with some freedom
up to 9.S56 1000. This outlet absorbed
nearly all the strictly choice handy
lambs available. but packer bids came
mostly % cents lower and barring the
top notch closes most of the lambs
sold 15M25 cents under Mondays best
levels. Packers bought good handy
lambs largely at 9.50@9.65 and up to
a late hour their extreme limit was
9.75. Some medium to right good kill
ers sold at 900@e.4o with natives hard
to locate above $780, owing to lack Of
class among the native Offering. A few
light fleshed warmed up western lambs
on the feeder order were available and
wanted down around $50, while $50
ais took most culls, with some up to
500.

Chicago. Jan. 5.-Wheat-rn Septem-
Der and again in December, large
quantities Of wheat were brought to
Chicago for delivery on contracts for
future delay. These stocks disappeared
after September and there IS every In
dicat1on Of rapid disappearance Of
stocks accumulated here during De-
cemher. A renewal Of buying for ex-
port yesterday and today, also has
brought into tho market considerable
new buying Of q speculative character
and in spite oe the heavy profit taking
the advance 80 tar has been cents
from the low price Of yesterday.
Corn-9overnmenk reports, without
warning. on the condition and quality
OF corn as compared with last year,
was given q very bu1lish constru ction
by the trade. especially as the wheat
market was inclined to be strong, and
rally OF nearly 2 cents resulted.
Eighty-one per cent Of the crop Is
shown as merchantable corn, that ia
fit to husk. It must be remembered that
a good deal Of the corn now arriving at
this market, is corn that would ordi-
narily be called understandable corn,
nor must it be forgotten that as set
tied period OF freezing weather is COIN
cident with more plentiful car sup
ply.
Oats-At best time today oats were
about cents above yesterday, on con-
siderable buying induced by wheat
strength and government report on
corn. It is no doubt less true that oats
will be used for substitute for corn, and
this will prevent any bl1rdensome ac-
cumulation at terminal points.

with Joe yelling in his fight with
Ever Hammer at>Kenosha last night.
Friends of Hammer may argue that
their battler was the chief cause of
Welling's failure to fight up to his
usual standard, but that won't go for
everything.
Hammer did fight surprisingly. He
was active for the entire ten rounds,
taking only one hard wallop. But
yelling did not force matters in his
usual style. He appeared a tri1e
tired and perhaps little stale.
For this reason the battle did not
pan out as ferOcious an affair as had
been expected. There was a good
crowd present, but the entertainment
was only fair.
Yelling had an eye cut and his nose
also bled from the punishment Ham
mer inflicted. And at the close the
artist-boxer was putting quite a bit
from his efforts. yelling is capable
of a better fight. Even though vic
tor, Hammer did not show enough to
warrant him taking a chance with a
battIer like Charlie White. At least,
not at the present time.
