THE LOCAL MARKET
Grain Market the Most Active at
the Present Time.
WAPELLO COUNTY'S POOR OATS CROP
large Quantities of Home Grown To-
matoes ON the Grocer's Bench
Blackberrics Now AboDt
Succumbed.

Things in the local market are now
very quiet. The butter and egg man
finds his business dull, yet there is an
abundance of egs~. The grain market
is probably the most active. New oats
are coming in in small quantities and
for the present the market is renlain-
ing firm at 16 to 20 cents. This years
crop is the fourth consecutive poor
crop for Wapello county. The poor
ness of the crop is not so much with
the quantity as with the quality, yet
the quality this year is somewhat bet
ter than that of last year. Wheat is
scarce and it is only occasionally that
a farmer will bring in load.
Large quantities of home grown to-
matoes are flooding the vegetable mar
ket, and they continue TO come in with
much rapidity. They are all fine and
large. Plums are already to be seen
in The grocer's display, though the
crop is somewhat back, owing TO the
dry weather lately. They are now
selling at 81 per case. Blackberries
are on the decline, and are fast disap-
pearing from the market. BY the end
of the present week they will all be
gone.
The quotations in the live stock and
poultry market will remain the same,
and good hogs are bringing $4.s0. :

Sigonrney, July 29--H. A. Seamans
met with an accident yesterday which
came near being fatal He and Ward

A Washington correspondent says
that if all the applications are
granted, and they continue being
made as rapidly as they have been,
goodly proportion of men who en-
listed for the war with Spain will
soon be on the pension roll of the
government, From official figures
at the pension bureau it is shown
that the number of applicants for
pensions have been comparatively
enormous, Out of five regiments,
which led the pension procession,
there have already been filed l,735
applications for pension, 1t is cer-
tainly high time that congress in
tervened to check the pension rob

Yesterday we ran upon a gentle
man who had just awakened to the
fact that Texarkana would never
amount to row of sickly beans
until the city put in the field a base
ball nine and sent them away from
home with "Texarkana" on their
manly chests in box car letters to
let the world know we had city
and was willing to put up to keep a
dozen men in the field to sing our
greatness. We like base ball all
right, but it is often an expensive
luxury to maintain. We think we
could take the money expended in
this manner and do more good with
it in an advertising sense than in
the way mentioned above.

The big ten dollar banquet oi
Tammany came of at New York
City on Friday eve 18th inst. Van
Wyck was the lion of the occasion
and his speech, supposed to reflect
the political tenets of Eastern
democracy. He condemned trusts
and the rubber tariff, but carefully
avoided the financial question.
Evidently Eastern democrats are
not at all in harmony with the
West and South, and cannot be
counted on in the next.campaign.

A real good one is told on Con-
stable Crow boys had a lot of fun
at his expense, 1t is said that
while out hunting with a party Of
friends Thursday, he shot and killed
what he claimed to be a wild turkey
out on Mckinney Bayou. Friday a
negro woman is said to have been
in the city, looking for dat man
who killed my turkey" and at once
Bob was spotted as the individual,
and the way he was ''nagged," was
caution. He will not want to kill
another turkey soor.

Whenever democracy becomes
corrupt aud rotten, the people
ought to overthrow it. At Hot
Sprizgs the grand jury in session a
few days since failed to indict any
body for the recent killings there,
although evidence went to prove
that Hart was killed in cold blood.
But it seems that politics, and
democratic politics, we are sorry to
say, appear to now shield one or
more persons. We say down with
such democracy-to hades with all
such.
