In the Oter's Pella correspondence we
find the following: "In looking over the
columns of the Democrat, we see that our
County Auditor seems to have lost the
right use of his intellect. judging from
the language of his letter to Hon. M. M.
Walden, regarding the appropriation he
made to our county school fund. We only
hope Benz R. Ewalt will run again for the
office be now holds, for by so doing we
think he will learn what the residents of
Marion county think of his conduct. Had
he been in Mr.. Walden's position, we
think the money would have gone
somewhere nearer home than it has and
for our part we are glad that he was not
in Mr. Walden's place, not only for his
own good, but for the welfare of our coun-
ty. In our opinion, the people have some
thing to say in the matter of what shall
be done with the money Mr.. Walden has
so generously donated to the county. If
Mr.: Ewalt is % speak for the whole pop
ulation of Marion county, then 1 wish to
move my boarding place to some other
county. AS free citizen of the United
States, claim my rights as 1 hope all
others will do; and should Benz r.
Ewalt again be candidate for the office of
County Auditor. l shall be careful to OBJ.
serve flor whom my vote is cast. Mr..
Walden is what we term a true man to his
country, and we think he has done what
he thought was right and just by giving
this money to the several counties in his
district. The money came from the peo-
pie to pay the extra salary of our Con-
gressmen; by the course Walden has
TAX N, it has been returned to them, and
l for one shall cast myvote for Hon. NJ.
M. Walden, should he ever run for office
again. l believe in having honest men
in office and to that end 1 shall cast my
vote"

If the condition of the Leading merchan.
disc markets on yesterday could be accept
ed as an index for what is to follow during
the remainder of the week, then we might
congratulate jobbers in advance on pro-
fitable and active market. But whatever
the condition of the market may be later
in the week, the movement of goods on
yesterday was all that could reasonably be
desired The weather was of character
to stimulate trade, and to infuse confidence
in business circles, and with fair number
of interior buyers in the city, and liber-
al patronage on order account, in nearly
every channel of trade a fair degree of
animation was exh ibited.
SPRING WHEAT-This cereal was lit
tie quiet on yesterday. The feeling was
decidedly s.rong, but the disposition shown
to trade was quite moderate, and considera-
bly, less than an average days business
was transacted. Operators of almost all
classes seemed to act with more than ap
ordinary amount Of precaution, as the adj
vices from important home and foreign
markets were somewhat conflicting and
the whole tendency OF the deal rather fa-
vored the opinion that prices. had reached
their highest point for the present Pri-
ces averaged shade higher than on Satur.
day, and closed at 81 2S1s for regular No.
2, 81 81 for No. 3 and nominally 81 05 for
rejected.
CoRN-A good activity was exhibited in
this market on yesterday, the attendance
of operators being quite large, but prices
were unsettled and irregular, with frequent
fluctuations. At the opening, prices ruled
strong at Saturdays outside figures, but
owing to the delightful weather there was
a general desire upon the part OF holders
to realize, and with larger offerings prices
weakened to the extent of 11s@5sc Regu-
lar No. 2 receipts sold at 4O@404c and
closed with buyers at the outside figures.
Strictly fresh do sold at 4O7s@4O4c.
OATs-Un der moderate offerings, and a
light speculative demand. and. prices for
oats ruled comparatively steady on Satur-
day at about Saturdays quotations, regu-
lar No 2 cash being quOtable at 321Sc
strictly fresh do at 322lc, and rejected at
100000 &c.
LATER
No. 2 spring wheat was traded in pref
ty freely an speculative accounts on Sat-
urday afternoon, prices ruling firmer, and
closing at 81 291s for seller May, and 81.
1898 for seller June. No corn was &C.
tive and firm, prices closing at 41c for sell
Ter May, a nd 1910 for seller June.
LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
CATTLE-The receipts since Saturday
were about 4, 600 head. Notwithstanding
the supply was largely in excess of the de-
mand, shippers were out in full force. and
bought literally at $6@$625 for choice
s. 60@5 80 for prime second class, and S.
@5 30 for medium to good shipping grades.
There was also good demand for stock
steers and butchers stock, so, as q whole,
the market opened favorably for sellers.
Hostile receipts were about 900
head, The demand was active. and with
out being really higher, prices were firmer,
and the current tone of the market was
more favorable for sellers. The pens were
pretty well cleared of the fresh rece ipts,
the market closing firm.

At meeting of the Gas Company, Tues
day night It was agreed that Z all meters
that do not register 100 feet per month, a
fee of twenty five cents will be charged
each month as meter rent This is moth
ing more than ust, as the meters are very
expensive and liable to be broken, as they
are often much exposed. In many places
meter rent is charged TO each consumer,
but our company propose to charge only
those who consume less than one hundred
feet per month
