SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Nov. 5.-The market
today showed a slight falling off
from that of the close of last week,
and prices in general were slightly
lower. Activity, however, was fair,
and sales in general were made at
the slight reduction in prices at a
fair tone of bidding.
The packers were in the bidding
from the opening and showed a fair
need for all the heavier hogs put on
sale. Packer needs appeared slightly
slower than the average of the last
| several days, and the greatest weak
ness in the bidding was shown on
their end of the trade.
Chicago reported a heavy run OF
hogs with prices steady, which fact
was very material in maintaining 6
near to steady average here.
In general the market was quoted
weak to loo lower than Saturday
with top hogs selling at $500 anC
with the bulk of sales at $500 q
I17.50.

MIX WOUNDED With

French Aviator adds to Long
List of Atrocities Commit

That French wounded prisoners are
mixed with victims of tuberculosis In
German military hospitals is the
charge made by Sergeant Paul Chew

French aviators, who has just returned
to his home in Paris after being a pris-
oner of war for IL months.
Sergeant Chevalier says that in adj
dition to keeping the wounded men
with the tuberculosis patients, the
Germans forced them to wash them
selves In the same wafer, and also
made them wash their dishes in the
water used for the same purpose by
the white plague sufferers.
The German guards treated them
with the greatest brutality and the
hospital where they were confined
was In such bad condition that the
patients were soaked every time 1t
rained, Chevalier told his cousin, Mar

The plane fell and burst into flames

ADOPTS WAR ORPHANS
Ohio Regiment Now Holds Record In
This Work.

w
This Work.
The One Hundred and Sixty-sixth
regiment of infantry, mostly Ohioans.
are leading in the contest of adopt
ing French orphans. Already this
regiment has adopted "a boy orphans.
More than 500 French children, made
fatherless by the war, have been
adopted by the various American army
units In France, and 1t Is expected that
this number will soon be increased to
1000.
One little orphan, whose father, a
French lieutenant. vas killed In the
Argonne In 1915, always signs her
letters to her godfathers: "votre mas
cote affectionne." Her letters never
fail to express the wish that the
Americans who have consented to aid
her are not injured.
The Stars and Stripes, the official
A. q. #. newspaper, launched the idea
scme weeks ago and since then every
unit In the army has responded. The
men who ask to become godfathers to
| the orphans send funds to the Ameri
ran Red Cross, which attends to the
needs Of the children.

Musical AT Central
Methodist Church

The local chapter of the Red Cross
will give musical at the Central
Methodist church next Tuesday night
at 800 o'clock P. M. The society
has secured the services for this oc-
casion of Mr.. Harcourt Brigham, VIC
linist,, Mr.. Harleigh Bradley, pianist,
and Mr.. G. Lloyd Owens, tenor.
Mr.. Harcourt Brigham is a violin
ist of unusual ability, having received
his musical training in the large Eu-
ropean centers, where he has spent
the greater part of his life.
Mr.. Harleigh Bradley is the Or
ganist and choir master of Christ
Episcopal church in Savannah, and
has had the wide musical advantage
that the larger cities of the United
States afford.
Mr.. T. Lloyd Owens was the or
ganizer of the Savannah Music Club
in 1896, and was the president of it
for many years.
The money accruing from the sale
of tickets, less the actual travelling ex.
penses of the musicians, will go to the
local Red Cross chapter, the must
clans having dedicated their services
to the Red Cross as a contribution to
the war.
