Northern and eastern beef cattle-The sup
ply was very light, but what cattle were Of
Tered were of "A good quality and sold readily
at values which were very satisfactory to
lrovers. The supply was so light that the
sales quoted could not be taken as a criterion
of the standing of the market.
Mich cows and springers-The supply was
light and the demand slow. The bad weather in
the country and the slow demand for cows were
accountable for the light receipts. Specu-
lators and jobbers did not buy rapidly as they
were not willing TO pay the prices asked.
Veal calves-Irade was lively, and a clear
ance was effected at values 14c of from those
obtained last week.
Sheep and lambs-The receipts from the
west went direct to the slaughter house of g..
A. Sawyer. The remainder were lold at values
showing no change from last week.
Swine-The receipts from the New England
states were bought by agents of the packing
companies. Values for the day were quoted

Green Goods Men Beaten,

To James Gillespie of Freeland Pa,
belong the credit of beating green
goods men at their own game Gil
lespie is usually employed as a col
lector of commercial agency. His
income nets him a modest living. To
an intimate friend on the 18th inst. he
impaired the information that he
was negotiating with New York green
goods men, and he was to make an
effort to beat them. He went to New
York the 9Th and returned the 9th,
and in evidence of his success now ex-
hibits two rolls of money. One con-
tains $500 in crisp. genuine bank
notes; the other, to all appearances
is the same, but an examination
shows it to be nothing but green
paper. Gillespie began a correspond
ence with green goods men a year
ago. He had a thorough knowl-
edge of the methods employed by
them. A month ago this region was
flooded with the green goods litera-
ture, and he received one of their cir
culars. He re-opened communica-
tions, received a code of signals for
Identification, and was instructed to
use the telegraph. Newark, N. j., was
the point to which he was instructed
to telegraph. All messages that he
received came from New York. He
was to put in $500 and receive $500
of the stuff, which would "defy de-
lection"
1t was arranged that Gillespie
should go to Newark, and when an
early train pulled into that city
Thursday morning Gillespie carried
carpet bag and an umbrella. He
was met at the station by a man
who had coupe in waiting. When
he introduced his friend there was
some hesitation exhibited on the
part of the man with the carriage,
but not serious. After driving for
about Is minutes the cab was halted
before hotel and the trio entered
They were here met by another man.
Again it was necessary for Gillespie
to explain that his companion had
in his clothes hard cash, and was
willing to make the deal. After being
conducted to an inner room the first
man whom they met exhibited and
counted a roll of money containing
| $1,000. The confederate suddenly
appeared, but the patrons kept an
eye on the roll, and before the finn
fam game of exchanging the money
for bogus paper could be accomplish
ed Gillespie held the wad and offered
his own in exchange. The dealers
anaip triad fO 6ivnrt a ttontinu hI1t
to their surprise found themselves
looking into pair of pistols.
Believing that they had been duped
by detectives, the men made a dash
for the door. In their haste they
dropped the roll of bogus paper which
was intended for their victims.
Pocketing both rolls Gillespie and
his companion escaped through the
window and arrived home tonight
This is the story he tells, and he has
both kinds of money to prove his
words.

Almy Hanged.

No crime committed in New En-
gland ever began to awaken the in
terest that this murder has created,
and the shocking story of Almy's
last crime has burned itself into the
hearts of every household, and all are
familiar with the circumstances con-
noc'ed Herewith. Almy's last day
was no more eventful than many
previous ones, he having passed the
greater part of it in reading.
He left no statement and met death
calmly at Concord, N. H., last Tues
day, the following account of which,
we take from the st. Adams Messen-
GER
At 1913 the death march was be-
gun from the matron's room, Almy
being in charge of the Sheriff and his
deputies, and accompanied by the
Chaplain. In moment the scaffold
was reached and the stiffness at this
time was very painful. Almy's arms
and lower limbs were quickly strap
ped. His face became ashen pale and
he was very nervous, swaying slightly
in either direction, but the support of
the officers helped him to keep his
place. His spirit was evidently
broken, and as Sheriff Hurlburt
concluded strapping Almy's lower
limbs, the condemned man, looking
into the officers face, said twice, in
an almost inaudible tone, "may |
speak ?" The sheriff shook his head
and adjusted the rope about Amy S
neck. Even then the latter appeared
to want to speak, but the black cap
was hastily placed over his face and
he said nothing. The sheriff placed
the hangman's knot under his left
ear, and then stepped off the scaffold,
and at 1915 touched the spring.
The drop fell heavily. and Almy's
body went through. To the horror
of the spectators his feet struck the
floor, and his knees bent. The rope
was evidently too long, as it did not
stretch any. AS his feet touched the
| floor his body sWayed to the right
and slightly forward. When the Off
GERS on the scaffold pulled the body
up several feet, another shudder ran
through the witnesses when they
saw the position of the rope and
knot; the former was pulled over
the left ear, while the knot was fully
one foot above the neck. But one
or two tremors or twitching motions
could be seen, and then there was an
entire absence of struggling. Life was
| pronounced extinct at 1920, and
the body was taken down. The wit
nesses left the prison, and the gal
lows was taken apart and put away
before the dinner hour, so as not to
be seen by the other prisoners. At
| the post mOrtem examination OF
Frank c. Almy, thirty minutes
after death, it was found that death
came instantly with the drop, by
reason of dislocation and fracture OF
the spine, at the second and third
| circular vertebrR.
Amy did not leave any statement
as it was supposed he might, or a
request for anybody to make one for
| him. The ring he wore will be buried
with him. 1t is the same one which
was in the package given John Full.
Ter by Almy in the Warden barn at
| Hanover before his surrender.

The following are some of the
reasons why | can positively rec
ommend these investments -
1. The Red River Valley is one
of the best farming regions in
the woild, is well settled and
prosperous, and HAS NEVER
HAD A FAILURE OF CROPS.
?. Loans there have much LAR
GER MARGINS OF SECURITY
than similar loans east and
interest is paid more promptly.
8. An experience of eight years
in loaning in all parts of the
Valley has given me a reliable
knowledge of lands, values
and all necessary details which
enables me to select the best
loans on My Own JUDGMENT.
T. | either know personally the
security for each loan or have
it specially examined by men
for whose good judgment and
integrity ! can fully vouch.

cations in person or by mail, to

1t will be observed that foreign gov
ernments have appropriated more
for representation at the Fair than
the states of the Union, through
which, for the most part, the re-
sources and progress of the United
states are to be exhibited. That the
contributions of the states are no
larger is due mainly to the South,
which does not seem to have entered
very heartily into the enterprise.
The total contributions from that
section, Delaware included, amount
to but 1914, 900. The great state of
Texas has given nothing. This was
an advertising chance the new South
should not have missed.

4 Mouse That Caught flies.

There was queer scene the other
morning in the window at the front
of DIR. Gibson's drug store i'll Shop
herdstown The performer was a
mouse that entertained for some time
a number Of spectators by his skill
in catching aud eating flies The
mouse came from behind some boxes,
and running up to the window deY-
terously grabbed = fly. He retreated
to the boxes and ate his game, and
then came for more. He would catch
one. retire and eat it, and then come
back again. He would sometimes
catch the flies on the glass and some
times grab them in the air, occasion
ally jumping up to considerable
height for his victim. He seldom
missed his aim, and once in awhile he
would catch fly with but one OF his
paws. The crowd Of persons that
his antics attracted outside did not
seem to disturb him in the least, and
he pursued his work with a vigor and
skill that showed that he was not on
" hungry but had probably been at
the same game before. The mouse
must have caught thirty or forty flies
before his appetite was satisfied and
he retired to his hole This is the
first time We have ever heard OF a
mouse catching flies.

Love in the Mountains.

An eloping couple from the head
of Grounding creek, Hu obscure
neighborhood in the mountains OF
Mcdowell county, this State. created
much amusement at Welch railroad
station a few days ago. They were
typical mountaueers, decidedly IL
norant OF the world at large and its
WAYS. but their love was deep and
they were determined To be made
man and wife in spite OF parental OBJ
lection and all other obstacles. Ihey
had travelled all OF the night before,
the girl. timid blushing lass OF
eighteen mountain winters, named
Annie Coats, being mounted upon a
small but digniiied steer, while the
prospective groom, Sandy johnson,
about % years Of age, walked along
bv the side Of his sweetheart and the
steer aforesaid.
The couple were greatly disappoint-
ed when informed that they could
not get license to be married on ac-
count Of the girl not being OF age; in
fact. so cruel and severe was the blow
which this information inflicted that
they sought the privacy Of the ladies
reception room at the depot where
they embraced aud each shed tears
copiously for an hour or more:
Some one finally advised them TO
go to Bristol, Tenn, where the cere-
mony could be performed without
trouble, and they accordingly took
the afternoon train for that point,
very much elatsd over the sudden
turn of affairs, and as happy and low
ing as lovers could we'll be. 1t being
the first time they had ever been Oh
a train, they got the platform next
TO the engine and tried to enter the
mail car. but brakeman saw them
and steered them to seats in the first
class car.
