SPECIAL MARKET LETTER.
Something of Interest TO stockmen and
Others.

We publish the following market let
ter, which has been received by Mr..
Mac Allister, in the hope that those of
our readers who are interested in its
contents may be benefited thereby:
Since the date of our last letter there
have been general rains over the corn
country and the condition of the crop
materially improved. 1t is now gener-
ally believed that a fairly good crop of
corn will be made, and in consequence
during the past week prices of stockers
and feeders have advanced considerably
and trade has been active.
Receipts of Western grass beef cattle
and also of corn-fed beef cattle have
been moderate at this market during the
past week, but the receipts at other
markets have been liberal and prices
have declined I0c to Ice, except upon
the very best corn-feds. In consequence
of the improved condition of the corn
crop, stockers and feeders have improved
in price. We quote Western grass beef
steers at 1915 to $3.50; cows and heifere,
So to "a; Western stockers and feeders,
yearling steers, $4.2O to $3.50; two-year-
olds. So 90 to $450; three and four year.
olds, 1886 to $3.50.
Receipts of Western sheep still con-
tinue to be moderate, and trade has been
active although prices at this and all
all other markets have declined during
the week, and we now quote Western
weathers at $500 to $4.10; ewes, So. so
to $S.75 yearlings, 1856 to $3.50; lam bs,
425 to $5.25.
Sheep owners Will be glad to learn
that good facilities for resting and fill
ing their sheep before putting them on
the South Omaha market, can be found
at Fremont, on the Union Pacific, and
at Lincoln, on the B. & NJ. These placea
have good yards and good pastures and
charges are reasonable-hay at 60c per
cwt, and pasturage at 111sc per head for
"A hours. Lincoln has good water ia
cilitles, and the Fremont pastures reach
the Platte river, giving them the best
possible facilities. Owners will find it
of great advantage, especially when
making large shipments, to unload and
feed at these points and ship to the
South Omaha market in lots of two to
five cars each day.

HOT IN HARVEST FIELDS.
Men Compelled to Quit w ork By the Ex
cessivs Heat.

According to W. H. Leo, who has just
returned from the grain section of East
ern Oregon, the famers will yet b ave to
pay high price for the threshing of
their wheat. The excessive heat, Mr..
Leo says, is driving the men out of the
fields by the dozens, and even now the
farmers are looking for new hands.
when 1 went to Olex,'' said Mr.. Leo,
I'tthe- farmers had all the men they
wanted. The pay was good and all were
satisfied. The first hot day several were
taken sick, and others had to leave their
work on account of the heat. After three
Eor four days the thermometer ran up to
116 in the shade at Olex, and none of US
could stand the burning sun. Eight
men had to quit. Four were Frustrated
and had to be taken to Arlington for
treatment. myself was overcome, af
ter an experience which / never shall
forget. When 1 first noticed the heat ii
did not seem tc be intense. Gradually
though, it became hotter until thought
my brain was on fire. Then seemed to
become cooler, and l remembered no
more until found myself on tie bank
of the creek with several of my fellow
laborers bathing my head. They told
me I had tainted in the field.
During the night at Olex the heat
was something terrific. The mercury
generally stood about 7S', and it was i'm
possible for anyone to sleep. The smell
of food was simply nauseating, after the
long hot night, and the plates would be
left untouched. In the morning it was
simply impossible for any one to eat
breakfast.
81 came away Saturday night, and
eight others left at the same time.
When we were in Arlington We heard
that numbers of men had left other
places, and that the farmers, IN order to
obtain help, were offering an advance of
50c day. The weather up there will
moderate soon, and they will not have
any trouble in getting plenty of help at
the increased pay. y."-Oregonian.

TROOPS STILL IN
SAN FRANCISCO
About $500 Waiting to Be Transported
to ManiIa-All Will Be Embarked
By October 10th.

SAN FRANCIsco, Aug. IL. About $500
of the troops which are to go to the
Philippines are still here. The Arizona
and Scandia will take away 1910, leav-
ing 5000 to be forwarded. This includes
the Eighth California, which was turned
over to Major-GenerAl Otis.
The First Washington has not been
attached to the Eighth army corps, and
will therefore not go to Manila, unless
later orders are issued assigning it to
duty in the Philippines.
1t is expected that the Australia and
Sydney will reach this city from Manila
about August 18th. They will be i'm
mediately fitted out for return trip to
the Philippines with troops, and will be
followed by the City of Peking, which is
due here about the oath. These vessels
will probably carry the Fifty-firsr Iowa,
the Twentieth Kansas, and the First
Tennessee. General Merriam desires to
have all the troops embarked for Manila
not later than October 10th.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
AT DEADWOOD
Three Men Lying Dead and a Woman
Dying-A Jealous Husbands Aw-
full Deed.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. IA Deadwood,
S. D., special to the Bee says:
Three dead and woman dying is the
result of shooting affray at Central
City this morning. Judge ]. P. Gid.
dings, Ed Shannon and Jack Wear are
the men, and Mrs. Ed Shannon is the
woman. Shannon had a boarding house
at Terry and one at Central City. He
stayed nights at Terry, leaving his wife
to look after the other place. This
morning Shannon returned to Central
City and reused Giddings. Just what
happened is not known, but the two
men suddenly rushed into the street and
engaged in struggle. Shannon had a
a revolver. Jack Wear tried to separate
them and was shot through the body,
dying instantly. Shannon then shot
Giddings through the head, killing him.
Next he went to his wife's bedroom,
beat her about the head with his re.
volver until he thought he had killed
her, and then with a fresh revolver
shot himself. The woman is alive,
but cannot recover. All the parties are
well-to-do. Giddings has held many
political offices. Intimacy between
Giddings and Mrs. Shannon is given AZ
the cause of the tragedy.
