II. H. Smith came in from Holyoke, Colo,

w. a. Jones, of Waco, was looking over

stopped at the yards on his way west from
Chicago.

hogs on market.
j. N. Applegate, Of Nehawka had hogs on
market, and bought some feeders to take
home.
Shippers must not be m,sled by the ad-
vance in hogs as the situation is not essen
TALLY changed from what it has been for
some days back. The packers simply wanted
a few hogs, and with the receipts so light
they were forced to raise the market to get
them. The packers have not changed by
any means from the bear side of the deal, as
fair run Of hogs or a falling off IN the
shipping demand would quickly prove.

Hogs,

The hog market was about SC higher to-
day, owing to the light receipts and increased
demand. The packers really wanted some
hogs for the first time in several days, and
as there was the usual shipping demand,
they had to raise the market in order to get
them. The Improvement was principally on
the light and light mixed loads. Good light
hogs sold quite generally at $500 and light
mixed at S3S0(G3 So, while $3. 7003.75 bought
the good heavy loads. The pieces and rough
and heavy hogs sold all the way from So 45
to s3.65. The market closed early, with all
sold. Dealers do not look upon the advance
as anything permanent, or as indicating any
better feeling, but only as a little spurt
caused by some urgent orders.

Cattle.

Thursday, August 90.
With the Chicago market overloaded again
to-day ana values 5@l0c lower, 1T was unrea :
sonable to anticipate good market Mt this
point. However, it could hardly be called
worse so far as prices were concerned, and
although it was very slow, more cattle
changed hands than yesterday. Native
westerns brought $40. AS showing the de-
cline in the market a bunch of the same
westerns sold one week ago at $3.25. The
market on cow stuff was bad, but it has been
bad for several days. and it could hardly be
any worse to-day. Native cows sold very
largely at 81. 756D1.9O. while big bunch Of
westerns brought $l.75. There was consider
able trading in stockers and feeders, but it
was mostly in a small wav, a load or two
only in bunch. Native feeders sold prnci-
pally at s2.5O@275 and stockers at $2.0O@

Two Rival Organ Grinders Indulge In Scrap
on woodland Avenue

Two Rival Organ Grinders Indulge In = Scr NJ
on woodland Avenue.
From the Philadelphia North American.
Two crank musicians came together on
Woodland avenue, and taking their stand .
on opposite sides Of the street, began "a
grind out Emusic" that was simply awful.
One played "White Wings'' In q way thai
made every body In the neigh bbor hood grow
weary, y hiie the other play ed Marseill llaise''
and ''Sweet Violets' alternately.
The man with monkey began to draw
the biggest crowd, and pretty soon the
Italian count laid his hand organ up
against tree and walked over to his COM
petitor.
"Gstta hella outa hsres, )" he exclaimed,
'this be my beata"
.Get out you dsgo," retorted the other,
belong to District Assembly No. 4, ,of the
Protective Order OF Organ Grinder q, and II
you don't git away from here iii mash
you and your organ to pieces"
Inc latter grabbed the crank OF his organ
snd turned out about three bars OF .sSiiysr
Threads Among the aold," but stopped
short OF. The italian had struck ct him
and knocked bis whet ny hand organ into the
street. The monkey climbed up on top of
tree box, and seeing his master getting
the worst OF the struggle, threw oil his little
red cap and took hand In the scrap. The
way that monkey ciutched the hair of the
protectionist was caution. Hecould have
easily gotten away with his italian rival,
but he couldn't handle the monkey.
Three minutes were occupied In the
struggle. which resulted In the italian
sccumuiating more dirt than he wore before
ana the other fellow losing enough hair
and whiskers TO stun mattress
The monkey lost his little velvet bas
In the struggle.
