The Cattle Market.

~ ~ \ ~
CHICAGO, Oct. g. Considering the
sharp falling off in cattle receipts this
week it would seem to an outsider that
prices ought to climb skyward, but they
don't. On the contrary the market is
still dull and depressed. The deal cannot
readily recover from the recent glut in
supplies and trade drags. Recent receipts
were excessive and Notwithstanding the
marked reduction in offerings are still
liberal and rather above legitimate de-
mands. The bulk ofthe arrivals continue
to come from the Northern ranges, but
the per cent of natives included in the
daily runs is considerably greater than it
was last week and there are more good
natives coming in than at any time recent
ly. Hence the best beeves as well as
medium sorts are lower, the average de-
cline on natives being about Is cents.
Only a few loads of choice to fancy
steers have been offered but these seemed
to satisfy all wants and some loads of
fancy beeves such as sold last week at
S6.S5 had to go around $3.50. 1t was
also given out that some lots sold below
S6.40 which cost Sc. so in the country.
has uOl, uOhGfGI, uuTluR I'LL UuG
week been much over a dozen trades
above Sc and very few at better than
S $50. Dressed beef men are Indifferent
buyers and are working hard to hold
prices down to late bed rock figures. They
give their attention chiefly to rangers
from Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Da-
Bota and Idaho which average about $50
to $50 lbs, and sell chiefly at 50. S0@
10. The quality of Western rangers
has not been so poor in a long while and
the largest part probably went below
So. 80. Texans are holding up pretty well
owing to light runs aud may be quoted at
81. 20(92.9 90 for steers, with Western
Texans of $50 to ,l40 lbs, going at $2.45
@2.S5.
Gamers are active buyers. The truth
is, however, that as noted above, both
wholesale and retail dealers are pretty
well stocked up at present, and would not
Immediately add to their holdings.
Eastern shippers are taking quite a
number of good natives, buC the mar
kets out there are reported unsatisfactory
and prices here are haged over in conse-
quence. Still a year ago choice natives
were about 81 cheaper than now, common
to medium grades 25950 cents cheaper,
and the best rangers we're selling at 81.
Common COWS, bulls and ordinary
rough natives remain dull and fully as
low as last week. For attractive offerings,
however, it is possible to get a small ad-
vance on last weeks prices.
Stockers and feeders are receiving con-
siderable more attention, but prices show
little or no change. Very few stock
calves are offered.

CAUGHT WITH EGGS.

A formerly up and up fyer got into a
queer situation yesterday but one very
much enjoyed by the many who happened
in the neighhorhood. He has been accus-
toned to call quite frequently at one of
the grocery stores on North Main and
with his disappearing the owner of the
establishment had noticed that quite a
number of small things had escaped and
SO often had this occurred that the parties
in that section decided to keep an eye on
the smart young fellow of English cut
beard Yesterday he appeared on
time again and in due time he
had filled his overcat pocket with
eggs. As he was leaving a
clerk made it convient to run
against the eggs and smash them all
in one pocket. The customer grew nervous
at the accident. and while he was picking
up his wits the clerk made it convenient TO
smash the contents of the other pocket
The pressure was so great that the eggs
were 70 DE seen some distance shove the
pocket ON the coat. BY this time the crowd
was well on 10 the situation and gave the
would-oe thief genuine pcrse laugh. He
was soon on his way, but not rejoicing.

A VERSION OF THE SCHEME.

''See here, how about this city building
racket some of these fellows are trying tC
stir up" said a gentleman yesterday. 81
have been looking UP this question from
it's foundation head down or up as you may
call it, to the present state of development
| have sized it up as being of the biggest
schemes ever attempted in these recent
days. tell you how / got on to it. A
friend of mine some time ago was APP
preached by a real estate agent about some
lots he owned in certain part of town
Well the real estater wanted an option on
it; a long option for little money. Well, they
compromised. my friend giving less
time than at first asked and getting more
money that offered. | also learn that
nearly all the property in that section is
secured by option
sWell. so far, so good also learn that
the fellows interested in this option buy
ing are the fellows starting this city build
ing racket Reasoning from the other
facts have and the ones told you con-
clude these fellows blowing around about
the great improvement are either in the
scheme or have been led into it without
knowing facts / don't say whether any
councilmen are i'll it or not. l would
not say that any of them would
go Into such scheme when they knew
what is up. | will give you a pointer just
here that if this thing goes through the
council the committee appointed. to locate
the building and the building committee
will have picnic"
In talking with gentleman on the sub
ject he said that the amount designated
was entirely too much for city building
and this bond business did not suit him
He thought the city could put up dandy
building if it was decided necessary, and
pay cash as the building was constructed
He would not commit himself as iavoring
the scheme, but if building is necessary
he thought the city should keep out of the
bond business in the future as much as in
the past.

THE EVANGELIST'S REST.
A Well known Citizen Speaks for
Mr.. Wilson.
Discussions on the Streets and in Bust
ness Houses About the ReyiYalist

6. w. Wilson's good work is not only in
teresting the throngs that attend the NJ.
E. Church, but hundreds outside on the
streets and in business houses after read
ing the EAGLES account of the meetings
engaged in animated discussion about the
revival, and about what Mr. Wilson said.
a great many who engage in these dis
cussions uphold the evangelist in his work,
and claim he is doing great good for our
people. A young man in real estate
office yesterday said, that man Wilson is a
humbug, that man from Decater, ILL.,, had
told him that Wilson was not always
good. Rev. n. E. Harmon told the young
man that he had known G. w. Wilson for
sixteen years He said why Il helped to
make that man a minister, and tell you
young man, in all these sixteen years there
is not blotch on his character, either AS
Christian or as a minister OF the gospel.
You 20 and hear him preach and just
what you find him up there in the
Methodist church l can testify he lad been
for sixteen years" The young man said,
'Well, will go and hear him for myself.
l think if the EAGLE reports him correctly
he is too rough on people, but have no
ticed when reading the bible that the
apostles always seemed to be abusing
somebody. Such talks as this shows that
Mr.. Wilson is waking up the sinners and
also calling christians to his aid. 1t don't
set very we'll on any of us to have a preach
er show us up in bad position, but there
is not much use to sass back"
1.-The EAGLE will continue to give cor
rect report of whatever good is going on in
Wichita won't you, said good Methodist
brother to reporter yesterday. There
was no meeting held by Mr.. Wilson yester-
day. He claimed that he must have Sat
day for rest. An active worker in
the church said that Mr.. Wilson
had put in week of hard
work. preaching two sermons each day and
that he was doing good work. II will
tell YOU" said the good man, there has
been a great revival among our church
members. as well AS among the outsiders"
He predicted that after Mr. Wilson had
taken days rest and started for another
weeks work, it would be powerful work.
II predict, he said, that next week will
witness revival the like of which has
never been seen in Wichita. The church
is now ready for it,"

IN MENORIAM.

Again death has entered the ranks and
took from among us one of Sedgwick
county's most efficient teachers, in the
person of Henry Edwards.
Mr. Edwards came from Indiana three
years ago and cast his lot with the teach
ers of this county, and through his untir-
ing zeal and energy had placed himself
among the foremost rank of the profession
always courteous he made friends with
all with whom he came in contact And
now called away SO suddenly, he will be
missed at the teachers meeting of this
county, where he always took prominent
part
After his death the following verses were
found: they had been written during his
brief sickness, and goes to show that the
death of his father, which occurred only a
fewdays before had made deep impression
upon his mind, and also that he thought
and felt that he would soon be called to
join that parent.
Again the reaper has crossed the plain,
To gather the sheaves of golden grain;
And the angel that carried the sickle that
day
Has ruthlessly taken my father away.
But the fruit was mellow and ready to
gather.
For the bough was bending it's weight to
drop;
And the bleak cold winds of the winter
day
Had sprinkled his head with silver and
gray.
And the binders that followed in the wake
OF the angels that carried the sickle and
rake,
Bound up, along with the thorns and
flowers,
The lettering form Of that father of ours
All, father, thy memory still clings to the
past,
Like leaves to a bough in the wintery
blast,
And ever shall be as lamp at our feet.
To beacon over the storms that we meet.
AT this time there seemed to be a pause
and the mind took thought as to himself
when he wrote the stanZa:-
But the angel called,
And the seal was broken:
The soul will depart to meet its God.
Death gave to the picture the finishing
stroke.
And his body is sleeping beneath the sod.
'HIS FRIEND"
