CHICAGO, Aug. S.-You may say that
the Chicago market is active for horses.
Witout any special cause, the recent
dullness started in actively last week,
and prices ranged from 20 to 80 per cent
in advance OF previous sales, closing Sat-
urday: 1900 lb. draft, $3.50 to $3.50;
L 400 lb. chunks, $140 to $3.50; 400 ex-
press, $40 to $500; l.250 chunks, $125
to $175; steeeters and extra drivers in
demand at from 500 to $500 per head,
according to conditions.
Receipts of cattle during the week fell
far below the estimates, being less than
half the arrivals of the corresponding
week. With tho usual demand and such
limited supply. mild advance would
have resulted, but orders for all classes
of cattle were on limited scale and the
trade, was only moderately active at an
average advance of l0@15c. Heavy
cattle were not even readily. salable al
that advance, the demand being very
light, but the good, light and medium
weight steers went off briskly and the
supply was cleared at an early hour
daily. Cows and mixed stock shared
the advance of 1o@15c, the trade ruling
quite brisk at that advance. Range cat
tie composed half the supply, there be
ing 1000 westerns and 8 1000 Texans OF

The Billion Dollar Congress and It's
Counterfeit Counterpart
The present democratic house of rep
resentatives, with about 140 democratic
majority, contrasts very unfavorably
with the last house of representa- tives,
with the republican majority, in the
''bilIion dollar congress-" The billion
dollar congress was controlled by men
who had brains and plenty of horse
sense and it gave the people full value
for their money. While it spent only
about one billion dollars, it was worth
at least ten billion to the people. The
Mckinley tariff bill alone will save the
people ten times as much money as the
billion dollar congress appropriated,
while the billion dollars went where it
would do the most good, in improving
rivers and harbors, erecting public
buildings, building war ships and forti-
fications, and in. hundreds of useful
ways all laudabIe and necessary. and
the money was put in circulation among
the people, where it belongs, which is
far better than keeping 1t locked mp in
the treasury, as the democrats have
boasted they would do, but have failed
to keep their promise.
After making as large appropriations,
or larger than the republicans did, and
we have no fault to find with them for
this, only because of their demagoguey
and false promises; they have tried to
cover up their tracks, and make a false
showing of economy by filibustering dur
ing the last week or ten days against the
So 200, 900 for: the worlds fair. This is
all humbug, they intend to pass the bill
finally, either before the present session
closes or after the presidential election
next fall; and are trying to. get votes
under false pretenses. 1t is very little
better than-a confidence game by which
sharpers swindle honest but credulous
people out of their money. Such hypoc-
risy in public servants is disgraceful and
ought to be rebuked by the people.
The democrats are not entitled to any
credit for their conduct in this matter
but deserve the severest censure. This
big democratic majority has blowed long
and loud about being cheap affair, hui
it is dear at any price.-Eugene Journal

SERIOUS
Is the Cha rye of Embezzlement Made
Against George Davenport.

On an affidavit made out before Squire
Prints by John Hoy, George Davenport was
arrested on charge of embezzlement.
The case WAS set for Monday at 8 O'Clock
but owing to Incorporation was adjourned
until the 10Th.
The merits and demerits of the case are as
follows:
1t seems that Davenport was an employe
of the Cooperative store as salesman and
was required to give bond, John Hoy being
his bondsman. The Coo Operative is incor-
porated under the laws of the State and one
of the provisions, as laid down in the char
ter, demands that the business be carried on
strictly on cash basis.
Despite this, young Davenport at various
times violated the rule, giving credit to sew
eral of his friends.
The affidavit charges that he did this to
the amount of $720O and that after
leaving the employ he appropriated $3S. 90 of
this deb in accounts and was known to have
collected $500 of the same converting it to
bis own use.
The accused claims that the accounts be.
longed to him and that in every instance he
had put money in the drawer from his own
pocket, taking the accounts and running the
risk in order to accommodate his friends.
This being the case of course the accounts
rightfully belong to him. But 1t remains
for the courts to determine whether such is
a fact.

Charity Ball.

On the 22d of this month the charity ball
to be given by the Relief Corps promises to
be an affair of great social importance. The
ladies have given these pleasant dances an
nually and in every instance have they been
an interesting topic of conversation before
AMI after, while the participation is of real
pleasure. Two hundred invitations have been
issued and well may the recipients thereof
feel fattered and lucky. Every one receiving
an invitation will attend. The Kinks spac-
ious audience room will be used on this oc-
casion, music will be of the very best and,
in fact, no pains will be spared in keeping
the charity ball this year up to the standard.

ANNEXED.
McClurc's Corporate Limits Extend
ed North of the Railroad.

The commissioners took action Friday on
the petition praying for the annexation of
more property to Mcclure village, and their
action was not altogether in harmony with
the desires of the petitioners, for which, of
course, the commissioners are to be COM
mended.
As prayed for, the land to be annexed ex-
tended to the half section line of section 81;
also south of the railroad to the Coldwater
bed.
Instead of granting the petition the COM
missioners annexed property of which the
following line is the boundary:
Commencing at a point on Main street
running north to the north end of section q,
thence east to the east side of the new addi-
tion, thence south to the intersection of
line extended from Cross street.
The boundary line as above designated
will leave but small portion of the farm
land to be annexed.
The edecision of the commissioners is wise
one and is 30 regarded by a majority of Nc
Clure's people. Time will prove the sagaci-
ty of the commissioners action.

"GRAYEL TO THE RIDGE"
Is Already Heard From Representa-
tive Farmers.

Since the Kalida Pike Improvement
has been successfully carried through,
enterprising farmers in Pleasant and
Marion townships, always Jealous for
the advancement of Henry County,
are beginning to agitate an extention
of the Kalida to the Ridge Road, a
distance of miles.
ut is sure thing" said Commits
sioner Zierolf, Tuesday. "We are so
situated that the great objection that
was raised by many Flatrock and
Monroe farmers cannot be made In
this case, mean that the pike when
extended to the Ridge will be in no
one township; instead, the section
line road between Marion and Pleas
ant will be opened and utilized, thus
giving a direct north and south road,
besides throwing an equal expense on
each township. The residents of both
townships realize the vast good pike
along this route would accomplish.
We are greatly in need of this road.
Why, last Monday I was compelled to
ride to town horse back, and even
then it was hard work to get through.
"Have you gravel facilities ?" was
asked.
GAS good as the county Affords"
the Commissioner replied. "The
gravel is not only Of a good quality
but it is easily obtained, being In close
proximity to the proposed improve
ment."
"Do you apprehend much trouble
In raising the required subscription
amount?
"None at ALL" was the emphatic re-
joiner. We are all hustlers down
there and know good thing when we
see 1t; and knowing this, are willing
to pay for it. When the movement
is actually on foot, we'll show you
how to do the handsome. My term of
Office will expire in January and will
be free to assist in the project, and de-
pend upon it, I will do all I can to
bring the pike down to the Ridge at
the earliest possible date. There are
firms that would be greatly benefited
by this road, one in particular which
l believe can be counted on Cor a do
nation Of $500. With such an
amount as o starter, but very little
time will elapse before the road will
be In good running order.
II firmly believe that before many
months Napoleon will be connected
with the Ridge Road by a first class
pike. OF course Holgate and the
County Seat will be benefited as we'll
as farmers along the route"
Mr.. Zierolf knows whereof he
speaks, and no doubt gravel roads will
continue in course of construction un-
til Henry County can boast of the fin
est system in the state.

PUGILISM
SEEMS To BE DEVELOPING
WITHIN THE BORDERS OF
HENRY COUNTY.
A Nice Little Fistic Encounter
Athwarted by Officials.

John Kelly believes he Is knocker.
Sam Hoy also thinks he is fair slugger,
even unto degree several better than Kel-
ly.
Every question has its side and for the
purpose of ascertaiuing whose claim in this
instance had precedence, the two arranged
for pugilistic swipe, the champion to re-
ceive the muniicent sum of $25. As the
fight was planned to take place in field near
the water tank nothing was said about the
disposal of gate receipts, although there was
a tacit understanding that the crowd, after
the fray, was to chip in and rush protracted
seige of the growler.
Sunday at high noon was the date. All
preparations were made, the seconds were
chosen, contract signed and sealed, an i'm
posing bottle of vinegar and monstrous
sponge, and in fact, every requirement met
as understood by close perusal of the Po-
lice Ne,Us and Old SIieuth series.
As the hour drew near few favored sports
from different sectious of the town silently
wended their way to the scene of prospec-
tive strife. Soon Hoy appeared and was
roundly applauded each of the aforesaid
sports heartily grasping his hand, which by
the way was considered as great an honor as
being licked by the proverbial Huck Finn.
Time few on and the other principal, Kel'
| ly, failed to materialize.
The crowd grew impatient.
1t was Just on the point of voting Kelly
no good when contretemps took place thai
corked up the crowds impatience for al
time to come.
