Levy Show Better Than
Ball Game in Summer

liked the horse and the monkey the
best and 1 think they were better
trained than any other animals 1
have ever seen. liked it as we'll as
Robin Hood" but in a different way
They must have had hard time to
train the horse to do so many things.
We all liked the way Mr.. Levy drew
a picture Of Woodrow Wilson and the
way he talked while drawing. We
didn't know who he was drawing until
the last minute and then we recog-
nized it as Wilson. We applauded.
l don't see how he can draw such
good pictures of Abraham Lincoln
with such few lines. We all liked
this part Of the show.
Mr.. Levy looks like he would get
down and play with US all He looks
kind and just like he would do any
thing for a fellow He looks like a
real pal.
He didn't have any trouble in keep
ing us quiet. When he wanted us
to be quiet he blew q whistle.
1t was one of the best shows l
ever have seen. It was better than
a ball game.

House,

Friends Of the bonus blocked three
attempts to amend the measure on
second reading today and sent the
bill to engrossment in the Senate,
after q heated debate. Supporters of
the bill believed any amendments
would mean the death Of the meas
ure. since the House must concur in
amendments. and probably would not
have time 10 do this before the end
Of the session.
An amendment offered by Senator
Baxter TO cancel provisions Of the
measure if Congress should vote d

proposal on the Indiana bill is TO be
held. was tabled on motion Of Senator
- rni a TO Is.
Senator TiEdleys motion to permit
only taxpayers TO vote in the refer
endem was tabled on motion OF
Senator Cam. Iindley said since tax
payers must pay the bonus. they
should be the only ones permitted
t. vote
A motion of Senator Daily amend
ing the bin to exclude Spanish war
veterans from provisions of the
bonus was tabled ON motion of
Senator English.

Action on the demand Of the Sig

meeting of the board today. The con
tract With the company was can

Representatives of the Chamber of

HOGS STEADY ON
LIGHT RECEIPTS
Cattle Market Suffers From
Saturday Weakness,
Hog Prices Day by Day

Exceedingly light receipts proved
the reason for hog prices remaining
steady at the local livestock ex
change today. Only 1900 fresh hogs
were received at the yards, together
with 864 followers. A light run of
1900 at the Chicago yards also con
tributed to the sreadiness Of prices,
which have been declining for the
past few days. Light hogs brought
Fridays top of $3.50 while heavies
sold around $8.25, though a few hogs
sold at nickel less. The bulk moved
from $825 to $3.50. SoWs and pigs
ruled firm.
The cattle market was as duh as
it usually is on Saturday, as only a
hundred cattle were received at the
yards. Prices, however, showed firm
ness and buying was largely at Fri
days quotations.
The calf market ruled firm with
previous q o t a tons prevailing
throughout the buying. Choice voals
brought SIS while the bulk moved
from SO to $f2.50. Receipts, $50.
The sheep and lamb market was
nominally steady on receipts Of 25.
4 top Of $14 was offered for choice
lambs while eve quotations remained
