NOTES.

Charles Geitz and George W. Reed failed
of an election to Council, but what they
accomplished will some day, and al no
distant period, result in closer alliance OF
the people of both parties in municipal

right to be divided on their business propo-
stions than have the different members OF
family on questions affecting the home.
With the material at hand, Woodbury.

that was abroad last Tuesday is encouraged

break in wheat. but generous buying in
duced by moderate receipts and a good
shipping demand caused upturn. Re

Year Ago.

st. Paul, Oct. 2O.-The Stenth annual
convention of the National Livestock
this city today. During the morning
an executive session of the officials was
held, the opening sessions of the con-
ventiOn not beginning until after noon.
indianapolis, Milwaukee and st. Joseph
are after the next convention, having
delegations here at work to secure it.
The afternoon session opened with
President Thompson's annual address.
He said in substance:
Notwithstanding the reports of
wars and rumors of wars and the at
tacks by politicians upon trusts and
combinations, the nineteenth century
is fast drawing to a close, will soon be-
come history and the beginning of the
century bids fair to become historical
as one of the most profitable years to
the bone and sinew' of our country
that they have ever enjoyed.
THE producers who have fed and
marketed the best grade of cattle are
receiving for their reward from twelve
TO twenty dollars per head more than
one year ago.
In order to meet competition in this
and foreign countries, the producers
can not give the matter of breeding too
careful and thoughtful consideration:
Tor IN the eXcellency of their produc-
ton lies their success which will be
measured only by their ability to sup
ply the choicest meat food products
obtainable on the globe.
our commercial relations with for
elgn countries are becoming greater
each year, and with our increased ex-
ports of other commodities. comes also
an increased demand for our live stock
and meat food products which have to
compete with similar products from
other countries, and in the same ratio
as the producers better the breeding
feeding and finish of their matured ami
mails will the demand for the same be
stimulated and increased
