tie in Kansas City were the largest on
record, being Is, 1903 head. The largest
number previously received in one day
was 1000 on Oct 10, 1898. This unpre-
cedented rush of cattle to the market
is due to the drouth in southern and
western Kansas, where feed and water
had become SO scarce that cattlemen
could no longer maintain their droves.
As a result of these unprecedented re-
ceipts today prices were 20 TO 40 per
cent below the prices prevailing

Want RetaIia ton.

Seattle, Wash, July retrospective
gold seekers in the north are aroused
over the action of the Canadian gov.
eminent in collecting duty at Victoria
or Dyea on every miners outfit from
the United States. A mass meeting
has been called by the merchants and
outftters in this city to outline plans
for retaliatory action. The idea is
that this action of the Victoria collec.
tor is not taken in the interest of col.
Letting revenue, but to try to compel
parties to buy their outfits in Victoria.
The Secretary of the treasury will be
petitioned and requested to withdraw
his order making Dyea a SUPPORT OF
entry. 1t was so designated, it is
claimed, for the purpose OF permitting
British steamers to land freight and
passengers there.

oIoudburst in Colorado.

Castle, Rock, Colo, Aug. A cloud.
burst occurred here which caused the
most serious flood ever known in this
country. Plum creek became rag
ing torrent in few minutes, and not
less than 100 bridges on that stream
and its tributaries were washed away.
The Denver & Rio Grande and Santa
Fe Railroad companies suffered some
damage to tracks and other property;
not, however, of serious nature, nor
sufficient to interfere with regular
train service. The damage to wagon
bridges and roads will cost the county
several thousands of dollars, and some
farms in the vicinity are considerably
damaged.

charging the road with exacting ex-

that the road is not subject TO the ju-
risdiction of the board of transporta-

Mr.. Kelley gives history of the

in the hands of receiver appointed
by the courts. He says that the Union
Pacific is a corporation created solely
by virtue of the laws of the United
States, and is under no authority
whatever; that for several years and
up TO October 10, 1898, the road was a
common carrier, but that as such COM
mon carrier it was not at any time
subject to the provisions of the 'act to
regulate commerce."

In the complaints file definite charges

RetaIintion Demanded.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. AT a meet
ing of the chamber of commerce, in
conjunction with the merchants and
shippers of this city, resolutions were
adopted memorializing the secretary
Of the treasury to abolish the privilege
heretofore extended to Canadians of
bonding goods in shipment through
American territory, and also to rescind
the action establishing such ports of
entry at Dyea, Skaguay and Circle City.
This action is taken in retaliation for
what is deemed the harsh and unjus-
titiable measure proposed by the Cana
dian government to levy an import
duty on the personal outfits of miners
and prospectors going from the United
States into the new Klondyke district.

Where the souls OF the little ones stay,
Till into our earthly keeping
God gives them, some sweet dayf

Dream on while you may, my baby
While your soul is free from stain
As the lilies are, when summer
Has washed them pure with rain.
Only a year from Heavenl
God keep your soul so white
That you always can talk with angels,
AS 1 think you do tonight
I fear for the future, baby,
And what It may bring to you
So easy It is to falter,
So hard It IS to be true!

Walk ever, pray, beside him,
Until God calls him home,
