SPECIAL MARKET LETTER.
Issued weekly Giving Present Quota
tions on Western Stock.
Omaha Markets.

Since our last letter there have been
Iowa, Missouri aud Nebraska, which
will insure plenty of water for stock
during the fall months, and also put the
native grass pasture in the best possible
condition for feeding both cattle and
sheep.
The corn crop is So nearly matured
that feeders are now able to estimate
the quantity they have raised and also
the amount that is likely to be for sale
in their respective neighborhoods and
the stock they will be able to handle
during the coming season. AS conse-
quence of being able to define the situa-
ton there has been considerable activi
ty during the last week the demand for
both stock and feeding cattle and also
for feeding sheep.
The supply of Western cattle this
week has been quite liberal but they
consisted largely of feeders on the COM
mon to medium order. Good beef grades
the close today, 15c to zoe higher than a
week ago. Good choice feeders are sell
ing at firm prices, but other grades of
feeders are 10c to zoe lower than the
close of last week. Cows and heifers are
selling at strong prices.
We quote Western grass beef sters at
1870 to $500; cows and heifers 50 rs to
"a 10. Western stockers and feeders
yearlines, $4 to $40; wo-year-olds,
So 80 to $40; three and four -year-olds.
1870 to $4. .35.
Receipts of sheep during the past week
have been large and composed mostly oi
Western sheep. While fat sheep and
lambs sold during the week a shade
lower than last week, feeding sheep and
lambs have been 10c to 15c higher, SELL
ing up to fat sheep and lambs, so that
the market as whole has been very
satisfactory to sellers.
Quite large number of feeders from
the surrounding states have been on the
market and have made liberal purchases
at good prices. The trade has been ac-
tive and receipts have been sold out
promptly each day.
At the close we quote you Western
wethers, 1915 to "a; ewes, $3.50 to $3.75
yeariings "a to $4.25; lambs, $3.50 to
$5.l5.

entertainment given we'll deserved it.

It is expected that the steamer Inland

machinery will then be in better condi-

running may then be looked forward to.l
Under the most favorable weather
conditions ever experienced, the hop
crop of 1898 has been garnered. 1t
was profitable one for the picker, the
grower and the state. Pickers made
easy money; growers saved their crops
without delay, and the state will re-
ceive reputation for quality, for all the
crop was saved. Like all other pro-
ducts, the grower was disappointed
in point of yield.
There is not an Indian in the state cid
enough to recall day when the William
cite river was lower than it is this sum-
mer, says the Salem Statesman. There
is simply huge rift in the valley where
the proud stream used to be. In the
bottom of this, just enough water is
running in a cramped channel to permit
the masters OF the steamers Gypsy and
Pomona to laboriously find their way up
there from Portland and lower valley
points.
Theodore Meguet who has farm on

by acclamation. Ringing resolutions were
adopted favoring President McKinley's
policy in regard to the disposition of the
Philippines and termination OF the peace
negotiations with Spain. Senator George
Turner's recent assault on the admin
istration was branded as cowardly and
unpetrioitc. The platform also recon-
mended the speedy ompletion of the
Nicaragua canal and commended the
recent decision OF the supreme court with
populist law that is SO obnoxious to the
business interests of the state.
A meeting of the emergency corps was
held at the Umatilla House parlor this
morning for the purpose of appointing
delegates to go to Portland to make ar
rangements to join this with the Red
Cross society. The emergency corps will

@. Roopert returned from hunting trip
ton Tygh Ridge. They were out two
days and saw in all two prairie chickens
which few before they were within g
quarter of mile OF them, SO that they
feel somewhat discouraged at their bad
luck. Mr.. Weggenman accompanied
them out returning Sunday. He lost
splendid black and white setter in Pine
Hollow about four miles south of Dufur.
He informs US that the dog went into
the canyon where there was water and
failed to return.
4 Two bowling teams, one consisting of

A GOTHIC CATHEDRAL.

The foundations of about all the great
Gothic Cathedrals of France were laid in
the thirteenth century. Pure Gothic ar
chitecture came to it's full fruition only
in France, and that part of France known
ms the "Royal Domain" that is Paris,
and the territory within forty to one
hundred miles of the city. OF the concep-
ton and the building and the meaning
of these great Gothic structures, Rev. j.
Q. Perkins will speak in the First Par
ish House Wednesday evening, March 2.

HOW FoXOROFT FEELs.

A Foxcroft despatch says that when 1t
was fully realized that the decision of the
Law Court was against the town in most
of the Hale note cases good many per-
sons felt and number expressed the
wish that as long as the Law Courts had
decided that the town must pay it, that
they would tell them how?
1t Is hard to tell at this early date what
the effect will be on the town, as one is
hardly able to grasp the fact that a town
of 1856 polls has debt Of nearly 5000, 600,
costs and all.
The natural supposition is of course
that the debt will be bonded, but there Is
q grave doubt in many minds about the
town being able to bond debt SO far over
the fivesper cent constitutional debt limit.
If bonded at four per cent, the interest
would be $4,000. The average amount Of
taxes raised is $4,000 SO that in order to
pay the interest, the taxes would have to
be nearly doubled and by taxing upsto
the five per cent limit it would take ap-
proximately 100 years to pay it
Much surpriseswas expressed that In
the Griffith case all the notes should have
been decided against the town.
1t is not really expected that the note
holders will consent to one cent of dis
count on their notes. Most of the citizens
are somewhat fatalistio in their belief
that the town will come out some
how but how they are unable to explain.

BOSTON MERCHANT SHOOTS HIM
SELF.

Boston, February 25.-Frank 81. Sleeper
senior member of the firm of S. S. Sleeper
81 Co.. wholesale grooers, attempted to
commit suicide by sending a 36 calibre
revolver bullet into his Eiain in his office
in the building occupied by the firm at
the corner of India street this forenoon.
The wounded man was taken to the
Massachusetts General hospital, where
the physicians said the chance for his re-
covery was very slight.
The motive for the suicide was un-
known Mr.. Sleeper is about forty years
OF age Mr.. Sleeper arrived at the store
from his home at 9.15. A few minutes
later report of revolver was heard.
Clerks rushed to the office and found Mr.
Sleeper on the floor. Blood was dripping
from q wound near the right temple.
Telephone messages were at once sent for
an ambulance and a physician. Both
soon arrived and the doctor after a hurried
examination of the wound said there was
little hope. of recovery, and he died at two
o'clock.
1t was learned among Mr.. Sleeper's
business associates that he was suffering
from trouble with the head. To some of
his more intimate acquaintance he had
spoken of the trouble, and remarked that
he would take q rest as soon as he got the
affairs of his firm adjusted.
1t was stated at the Chamber of Com
MERGE that the credit of the concern was

BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
Friday-Eugene Arnstein v. Puritan
Cycle Manufacturing company.
This is an action to recover payment for
n bill of goods amounting to $54. 80,
shipped to the defendant company III
March and May, 1897. The plaintiff is a
wholesale dealer in bronzes, paints and
bicycle accessories at Chicago, and the
defendant runs a bicycle establishment
in this city. The company admit that
they received the goods as shipped by
plaintiff, but claim they were not received
in good condition, that they were SO
much damaged that their value was very
much reduced. The goods consisted of
cans of varnish, cement and enamelling,
and one vuloanizer. Mr.. Scanlon testified
that one of the cans of varnish had
broken open and completely covered all
the other goods; also that the vuloanizer
was broken and could not be used. Some
of the goods were brought up and ex-
hibited to the court.
The case was tried before the judge
without jury. Decision reserved.
