I-OCAL KOO MARKET IS OVERLOADED.
Better Conditions Et per ted When Preeeut
HUx-ka Work Off.
The oondltlpn of the local egg market Is
thus summarised by on of the leading
Trent etreet firms:
The market is well supplied, and with
Eastern aad storage offering freely It la with
difficulty that stocks are moved. W are
asking IT cents but we find that there are
lots of eggs in the city; everyone seems to
have them to offer, and stocks do not clean
up as promptly as we would wish them to
do. We are of the opinion, however, that
receipts will decrease from now oa and
that conditions as to demand and prices
will improve."
Poultry receipts were fairly large yester
day, but there was a good demand for
everything and prices were well maintained.
Butter and cheese were active, firm and
uncharged.

GOOD RESULTS KROM SI'RAVINO HOPS
Latest Reports From Yards Are That At
tack of Vermin la Lee Sever.
Eastern trade papers are beginning to no
tice private report from this state of the
unsatisfactory condition of the Oregon bop
crop. These reports, which were sent by
Oregon dealers to their Eastern correspond
ent!!, were somewhat premature and might
work an Injury to the reputation of Ore
gon hops.
It is true there has been a visitation of
lice this Bummer, but It was no worse than
in some previous year?, taking the state as
a whole. The hot weather of the past few
days has materially Improved the situa
tion by checking the breeding of the vermin,
and. as the life of the hop louse Is known
to be short. It Is probable the peat will be
entirely eradicated be!ore It can do harm.
The best reports, however, come from the
yards where spraying has been done. Some
growers who have sprayed thoroughly re
port that. their yards are now entirely clean,
whereas In neighboring yards. lice and
honey-daw are to be found. It Is difficult
to understand why hp farmers whp have
prayera should neglect taking the hest pos
etble care of their crops, especially in a
year when clean, sound hops are almost
sure to command high prices.

PAUSE IN STOCK TRADING
With the Advance Checked, Specula
tion Becomes tireless Crop Re
port of No Effect in At
tracting New Demand.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. The stock market
fell Into a listless mood today, suggestive of
the passing of the Influences most relied
on to stimulate price movements. The last
of these waa the crop report, and its .ef
fect In attracting new demand to the stock"
market was ' negligible. Judging from the
trading. The professionals who attempted
to anticipate the expected proflt-taking by
shorts yesterday were compelled to cover up
their shorts today.
It Is not Improbable that the stiffening
call loan rate had an Influence on restrain
ing the operations for a further advanoe in
prices. Call loans were made above the Z
per cent rate from the outset and were
readily taken by borrowers. From Interior
money markets come reports of hardening
In the rates.
Among the special points of strength In
today's stock market. Rock Island was con
spicuous. The copper group was strength
ened by the July statistics of the Copper
Producers' Association.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par

STRANGE HINDU WORSHIP
Weird Religion of Murderer or Sir
Wllllnm Curzon Wyllle.
London Answers.
Tho police are supposed to have discov
ered that Dhingra, the murderer of Sir
William Curzon Wyllle, was a member
of the secret society calling Itself the
Sons of Siva. This throws a sinister
light on the assassination, for 61va Is the
most terrible of the gods of the Hindu
Trinity.
Among the worshippers he Is called by
a thousand and eight names, but of them
all he Is beet known aa the Destroyer.
The Images of him show him with three
eyes, the third being In hla forehead. His
wife, so the story goes, came behind
him one day and covered his two eyes
with her hands. Then the whole world
was darkened, until suddenly the third
eye burst forth llko a flame.
His hair Is clotted together and brought
over hts head, eo that It projects like a
horn from his forehead. On his head he
carries the River Ganges, because, when
this river descended from heaven to
earth Siva broke Its fall with his horn
like hair.
His neck Is garlanded with human
skulls, and the trident in hie hands Is
ornamented with other-human relics.
Ha destroys not only inl created things,
but even other gods. who. when they
offend him, have been burnt up by a
flash of fire from his central eye. Their
ashes he rubs over hts body, and on this
account the use of ashes Is of great Im
portance In hla worship.
He Is also the lord of demons and
dancers, and In this character he haunts
cemeteries, attended by a troupe of imps,
and dances furiously with his wife. Kali.
His wife Is no leas terrible, for she Is
the patron of thieves and murderers. It
was In her honor that the Thugs car
ried on their campaign of murder, know
ing neither pity nor remorse.- .
Her most devoted worshipers callher
the Man-Eater, and repreent her as
quaffing huge draughts of blood.
The story of how she became the pa
troness of the Thugs Is one of the most
stranga and terrible In Hindu mythology.
Long years ago the world was Infested
by a monstrous demon, who devoured
mankind as fast as they were created.
He was so big that even wljn he stood
In the deepest pools of the ocean the
water reached only to his watet Kali de
stroyed this demon by cutting him In
two with her resistless sword, but from
every drop of his blood there sprang a
smaller demon.
Kail slew and slew until s!5e was weary
of the massacre, for the same thing hap
pened when she spilled the blood of the
smaller demons. At last she paused to
rest, and from the sweat she brushed oft
her arm she created two men. To these
she gave a scarf and told them to
strangle the demons without shedding
their blood. In this way the plague of
demons was stayed.
wail nfntected them from the conse
quences of their misdeeds by causing the
blood of the slain to aisappear. Alter tne
Thugs had left a dead body they were
forbidden to look behind to see what had
become of It, so that no one knew what
happened until one Thug, curiosity over
coming fear, glanced behind. Then the
mystery was solved: the goddess was
eating the body!
Kali was so angry at her follower's dis
obedience that she said she would no
longer help the Thugs to conceal their
crimes. She did not withdraw her favor
from them, however, and gave them one
of her teeth for a pickax, a rib for a
knife, and the hem of her garment to
make a noose.
"With the noose they strangled their
wretched victims; with the knife they
made careful cuts in the body to hasten
decomposition; and with the plck-ax
they dug the grave.
Cf recent years Thuggee Is understood
to have become extinct; but rumors have
been whispered that It Is gradually re
gaining lost crcund, and that the assas
sins of English officials are regarded by
the natives as being under the protec
tion of and inspired by the gods.

Must Be No Food Iilne.
"St. Paul Dispatch.
Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, has Issued
an order requiring officials of th differ
ent state institutions to eat the same
kind of food they set out for the Inmates.
Should they desire delicacies they must
pay for them out of their own pockets
Instead of having them charged to the
state, as has been the custom. In dis
cussing; his order. Governor Btubbs said:
"If the grub is not good enough for
the officers and employes It Is not good
enough for growing children and Invalids
In the institutions. If the officers cannot
11 on food the state furnishes Its wards
they should buy their own provisions."
That sounds so wholly reasonable that
we are disposed to wonder why some
Governor did not tfiink of it before.
Btubbs came along and hogged the credit.
