NATIONAL SToCKYARDs, ILL.,, Sept. 90
The market is nominally steady at about the
lowest prices ever before realized for beef
cattle. Range cattle are selling at compar-
atively better prices than natives of equal
finish and quality. The National Stock
Reporter to-day says: sTen cars of Texas
cattle out of twelve were billed through to-
day, consequently nothing was done to in
dictate any change in the market Nothing
of any consequence is held over here.
Values are about as low as during the
worst time last year, without any prospect
of improvement until relief comes by
lighter supplies at the big market"

Why the Wagon Did Not Go Home Empty.

Why the Wagon Did Not Go Homo Empty.
At the recent convention of agents, held
at Columbia, S. c., an agent. related the fol-
lowing incident: Less than year ago,
when he approached friend on the subject
of insurance, he was put of with the plea
that the man had just bought some land,
made initial payments thereon and there
fore couldn't Afford to insure until it was
all paid for, which he reckoned would take
four years. YES said the agent, ''but
have you any g larantee that you will live
those four years! Have you thought how
your family would be situated should you
die before the land is paid tor. and they
not only lose the family provider, but. being
unable to finish paying for the land. lose
that as wei ~ Apparently the picture of
health, and knowing no reason why he
might not live many times flour years
more" the agents argument went home to
the man, and in March last took out Il $1,000
policy. Less than six months thereafter a
sudden sickness came on, and in few
days his wife was widow and his children
fatherleSS.
In the South it is a very general custom,
owing to the peculiar crop and business
conditions, for many farmers to be without
money from May to October, though at the
latter date they are able to meet all their
obligations. As a consequence these farm
ers are carried by the merchants, and on
Saturday of every week, the farm wagon
is driven to town to be filled with the next
weeks supplies, or ''rations,'' as they are
STYLED.
The Saturday night after the death of the
gentleman referred to the agent happened
10 be standing near the country store where
the deceased had done his trading and
where his credit had been good as long as
shiS ability to make his acres yield an an
'nual dividend was behind it as collateral -
The wagon was empty and the lad on the
seat was trying to keep the tears out of his
eyes with one hand, while he drove the
mules with the other
What's the matter, Bud?" hailed the
agent.
Pops dead, and they won't credit us no
more" said the boy with a lump IN his
throat, and broke down as he added,
''What'll ma do. What'll ma do2"
The agents heart was touched. He knew
the insurance policy in the company he was
proud to represent was as good as gold He
knew no just claim was ever refused pay
ment or its prompt settlement postponed.
He went back with the lad, put up $50 of
his own money, and the wagon did not go
home empty.
There are thousands neglecting to pro-
vide against sine wagon going home empty"
Are any who read this among them?

LOOKING THIS WAY.

A report comes from Washington that the
President is looking this way for Cabinet
material and that his eye is fixed on Morris
NJ. Estee. Whether or not Mr.. Estee is
the man of all others best fitted to repre-
sent the State in the Cabinet, he is thor
oughly respectable as man, intimately
acquainted with the needs of the State and
devoted to it's interests. He is an able man
Of wide and accurate information, and VIII,
if called to the Cabinet. be a Pacific Coast
representative as well as of California. The
general belief is, and there is some pros
pect that proof will deepen the belief into
conviction, that railroad money was used
last winter to beat Mr.. Estee in the Sena-
torfal contest. Tire attitude of antagonism
t. the railroad company and its allies which
that contest placed Mr.. Estee in gives him
strength with the people. With both Sena-
tors named by the Southern Pacific Com
pany and six Representatives in the lower
House whose nominations were permitted
by that company. the people of the State
would like very much to have man in the
Cabinet who is reasonably certain that his
soul is his own. The people would like a
man somewhere in a position to speak for
them who has not received his commission
by grace of a railroad company. We trust
that personal jehousies and aspirations
will not he allowed to result in such con-
spracy as defeated General Chapman when
nominated for Chief of the Horticultural
Bureau of the Worlds Fair. The President
can hardly be expected to appoint Calf
fornian as a member of his Cabinet in the
face OF protests from members of the party
who claims to speak for the State. Let us
hope at least that Californians will not de-
prive California of the benefit of representa-
ton in the Cabinet.

FEDERATED CLUBS,
Improvements for the Southern
Part of the City.

The Federation of Improvement Clubs of
San Francisco met at B'nai Birth Hall last
night, l.. L.. Hayward in the chair. The re-
port of the Executive Committee, a lengthy
document. was presented, and the recon-
mendations approved.
1t urged, among other matters, that one
unimproved block lying west of San Bruno
road be macadamized, as it is in danger
GUS condition; also the construction of
plank sidewalks on Sixteenth street, be-
tween Valencia and Sanchez, and the in
dOrsement of the San Bruno Improvement
Clubs work in the opening and extension
OF Potrero avenue.
The committee reported requests from the
South San Francisco Club for aid in having
the streets in the southern part of the city
properly numbered, and from the San
Bruno Club for assistance in the matter of
securing chemical engine, TO cost $500, for
that part of the city. The committee also
reported that the material used In the
macadamlZing of China avenue is unsatis-
factory, and that the Street Department had
been notified. One member reported that
the rock used is first class, but the planking
absolutely rotten, and another that the
curbiDg is very Door, and that for the first
three blocks the rock used was of poor
quality. The Street Superintendent had
been notified, it was stated, and he said
that unless the work is satisfactory the city
would not accept it,
a committee of four was appointed, con-
sisting of n. Winans, r. E. Doran, Charles
Edelman and j. III. Bartlett, to collect data
IN reference to the opening of Potrero
avenue as TO the property TO be assessed,
the rate of assessment, ETC., and lay the
matter before the Board OF Supervisors
with view to furthering the work.
c. w. Taber briefly addressed the meet
ing in support of the opening of Potrero
would accrue to the southern part of the
city by the extension and Improvement of
this avenue. He also spoke OF the inferior
workmanship on China avenue, and ex-
pressed the. opinion that the money ex-
pended on 1t has been practically wasted.
