The receipts of hogs at the large packing cities grows smaller every day and the price grows correspondingly higher. T-ast fall when the corn crop was a failur e and hogs were low, many sold shoats and' half fat stock with the result that there are few hogs in the country. For this reason many predict a much higher price for the balance of the year, especially before the new corn crop is ready to be fed into this spring’s pigs.

GREAT INVENTION George Wemhoff Received Letter from P .O. Department About Device INVENTED LONG AGO He Will Have Same Patented in Near Future— Good for Carriers George Wemhoff, who several months ago invented a novel coinholding device to be attached to rural mail boxes, sent a model of his invention to Washington, D. C., for inspection and he received a reply to his inquiry yesterday. In replying, the postoffic e department stated that while they do not approve such devices or any other appliances for rural boxes when submitted separately from rural mall boxes, there wilt be no objection whatever to patrons equipping their boxes with coin-holding devices of the design submitted by Mr. Wemhoff. The device is cleverly arranged. The rural carriers have experienced much trouble and have taken up much time 1 in gathering coins out of mail boxes, especially in the winter time, and , the new device is so constructed that . the coins can be secured without dismounting from their wagon or reaching ; in the box. It is automatic in its coni st ruction and by placing the hand un Ider it and touching a projecting piece of cast iron, the money readily falls : Into the carrier's hand. Mr. Wemhoff expects to have same patented and he will no doubt realize a neat sum of money from it.

SESSION WAS SHORT (Continued from nag* 1.) being one of the builders. One leading plank will refer to local option and another to the non partisan control of state institutions. Indianapolis. March 25.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —With all kinds of rumors of a compromise ticket in the air the democratic state convention was called to order just before noon today. Since Thomas Taggart won out in the local election last night, insuring him his place on the national committee as h e thinks, he is asserting that he will not do anything in the governorship fight. Os course there is talk that Taggart is for Ralston, but he denies being for any one. The latest talk just prior to the opening of the convention was that a compromise ticket was to be named from the gubernatorial candidates, Ralston to be nominated for governor, S|ftck for lieutenant governor. McCullough for treasurer, Marshall for attorney general and Parks Martin for auditor of state. Marshall and Slack said they had heard of no such arrangement and denied any part in it. C. C. Conn, of Elkhart, candidate for governor, Is here in the interest of his boom. H e was accompanied by about 100 rooters wearing tall white hats and who made the hotels ring with, cheers and songs for Conn. This man Conn will get a good showing of votes and if a break is made at any time that would prevent the nomination of Ralston. it looks certain now that the nomination will go to Conn.
