HOG MARKET STRONG
Moderate Supply and Quality
Fair.
TOPS STILL AT S3.45
Cattle Steady With a Very
Fair Run.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
quoted as strong. The day all through
gave a demonstration of the inherent
Strength Of this market for hogs. All the
early reports from other live stock cen
ters gave steady, steady to lower. and
80 on, but this point refused TO respond
20 this lowering tendency. Steady was
quoted a. first for some small lots Of
wagon hogs OF just medium grade, but
later sales Of better local offerings and
the main run of car stuff showed at once
1hat the quOtable tone was strong. In
other words, the influence Of other mar
aets on this market was again shown TO
be very feeble and practically of little
Importance, since hogs are sold here on
their merits. and good hogs are invariably
disposed OF at just the figures they are
entitled TO, while inferior hogs sell just
as strong relatively but take their place
n the column Of the bulk range The
Gay was just fair in point Of volume Of
receipts, the totals showing a little below
the day previous and the same day last
week. The wagon trade was only moder-
ate in receipts, but the wagon hogs sold
we'll The quality of the offerede hogs for
the day IN the car lot branch was only
and no choice loads received, with the
one exception Of a load of 23o-pound hogs
from Furley, which were very fine stock.
They were wen fattened and running even
and sold 70 Dold at the top price OF
81 40 There were ten cars weighed I'D
and these were Of fair grade. but not
tempting at all. One only brought the
top price, three the next paint from il,
and the rest scattered down the line at
such prices as their grade and weight
" ould warrant. Sandwiched in among the
car sales were several punches OF more
or less meritOrious local stuff, and all
went at the best they could command.
There was a good. firm demand all day
and the last loads to cross the scales
brought the two highest prices. Every
thing on sale was absorbed and the close
showed the call for good fat hogs as
active as at any time through the day
II was just a fair moderate Friday. but
with q fair line in today the week will
hold its own all right.

CATTLE.

The cattle sales yesterday were made
a a quOtabie steady market. There
were two cars of sale stuff in. besides
several punches and single hOofs from
the local trade. Most of the offerings in
this branch weresoId at once, the demand
from all quarters being firm. Fat butch
e. cattle would have sold strong had
there been more of a line 10 select from.
Stockers and feeders likewise held their
own very well, and the mixed line of she
stuff and other stock went readily at
good prices for sellers. There Is no hest
fancy on the part of the local buyers for
cattle. and more stock of the different
classes would every day be taken. 1t is
becoming more and more a practicable
feature on the part Of regular shippers to
this market to inclOse a steer or a heifer
or COW or something in a car of hogs
where the latter are not so crowded as to
prevent a mixed consignment. This never
fails 10 inure 10 the financial benefit Of the
shipper and many are seeing this. and
taking advantage of II.

citation:
vancouver, Aug. 81. 1899.
zone hundred members Of the Cana
dian Press Association are deeply
grateful to the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company forthe unremitting cour-
tesy and hospitality which has made
their trip across the continent the most
interesting and pleasant Of all their
outings. Though conscious OF tho
sterling work accomplished in the
spanning Of a continent. for large
part remote from settlement. and In
the opening up OF territory as vast as
some empires, the actual view unfolded
on the journey has impressed the ex-
cursionists more forcibly than words
can represent. The development all
along the route. in cities as we'll as In
agricultural and grazing sections. has
surprised us, and is most encouraging
to lovers Of solid progress and hopeful
prosperity. The ease and comfort with
which the trip from ocean to ocean is
attended in the cars and in the c. P. R.
hotels. through a service unexcelled
anywhere, is a triumph for Canadian
skill and enterprise second only to the
financial and engineering victories at
tanned in the building Of the greatest
scenic and developing line in America.

Keep the Streets Alive with Gay
Colors-The Sleep of the Merchant
Carrier. q

A merchant carrier, in charge of a
vehicle laden with heavy boxes, pre-
fers to sleep in his wagon in the court
as custodian of his goods. says the
Chautauquan. He is perfectly COM
Portable as he eats his black bread and
cucumber, sitting on the curbstone;
his sleep will be sound and refreshing,
in spite of the neighing Of horses, the
braying Of donkeys and the angry
shouting and quarreling Of servants
and stable boys. Neither will the
fumes of vile tobacco or the drunken
brawls Of a party Of fellows of the
baser sort disturb his dreams in the
least. Following the labyrinth of
streets, we come to ward of the city
on the outskirts, where artisans or
small traders find rent adapted to their
means. They live almost like villagers
and the women sit on the ground out
side the gates, knitting and talking.
Their bright scarlet jackets and gowns
Of blue or purple give an idea of ma
tive costumes From this quarter the
way to the open fields lies past heaps
of refuse and acres of Turkish graves.
The wayside well, whose high roof in
vites us to rest under its friendly shell
ter, may resemble Jacobs, for its size
promises water both for fiocks and
herds. Beyond the city limits is the
Boonar-jeek, or hill fountain. Graded
down from its slope and furnished with
seats. it is favorite resort on festi-
walls and holidays. Following the
pleasure party come the vendors of
ices, sweetmeats and colored drinks.
Open carriages are constantly passing
on the driveway. The Turkish driver
perched high on the front seat OF
phaeton, is brilliant in red fez and
braided coat; his passengers are two
stylishly dressed Bulgarian girls, ac-
companied by their chaperon. In the
next turnout a white-capped nurse is
surrounded by her charges. Greek
women, elegantly attired in heavy
satin dresses and bright silk headgear,
sit stiffly as the carriage jolts over the
rough stones. The party on the hill
side make an attractive picture as they
sit feasting and drinking, RECALLED by
the lively strains of the bands or bag
pipes. The rocks echo the sounds OF
music and laughter till the shadows
fall and the lights twinkle from their
homes on the hills.

Beautiful Shoulders,

A common form of neglect is the
shoulders, which are allowed in child
hood to grow lopsided, and take on an
ungraceful stoop. Often they are
crowded so by ill-ftting corsets that
they seriously displace the collar bone.
Instead Of such malformation, they
should be level. large, erect, insensibly
descending and we'll poised, making the
waist appear round and small. Mas
sage and oils will do much to tone up
the neglected shoulders, while the skin
can be whitened and made beautifully
firm by this paste. which is of Spanish
origin: Beat the whites of four eggs
in rose water, adding few grains of
alum; beat until the paste is thick.
Spread the composition on layer of
old linen and apply to the neck and
shoulders at night. French ladies are
so expressive with their shoulders that
they give them every advantage, as
their "shrug" is part of French con-
versation. An authority on this sub
1ect says: "a difficult habit to break
is that easy, lazy manner Of sagging
down when sitting, which, in addition
to sleeping on high pillows, makes so
many round shoulders and sunken
chests. People should always watch
themselves, and when they discover
the fault straighten up; but 1t is so
easy to settle down in this way after
years of indulgence in the habit t. at
many get discouraged and prefer to
grow crooked. Let me warn you, la
dies, to be eternally vigilant in ac-
curing a good sitting posture. The
joints you possess were given you to
bend with, and it is almost crime to
sag down as II you had no lungs or
other vital organs. Hold in the back
bone, throw the chest out, bend from
the hips only, and so contribute to the
perfection Of your figure. your beauty
and your health. "-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Feather Curling.

Feather curling is a business by it.
self, and to excel in it requires long
practice. 1t saves time and patience
to pay some one else to do it, but few
directions will be given, for you might
find yourself so situated that you would
be obliged to do it yourself. Take an
old feather to practice on, is the rec
ommendation OF Harper's Bazaar. Buy
a regular curling knife; they are kept
at most hardware stores. The blade is
a peculiar shape-short and narrow,
and has a curve. Have ready teaket-
tie Of boiling water, and hold the head
OF the feather over the steam for few
moments. Now take the feather in
both hands, and, spreading out the
f1ues to their full length, pass back
and forth through the steam, but do
not let 1t get too wet. In the same
manner wave 1t from side to side, not
up and down, for few moments, to
partially dry it. When dry enough 1t
is ready for curling. Begin at the stem
on the right side, holding the feather
with the fingers of the left hand I'M
derneath and the thumb on top. The
motion in curling is outward and
downward, taking few flues at
time and the feather should be so
curled that the ends are hidden or
rolled under. AS the broad part Of the
feather is reached the knife must eX-
tend farther out, not making as abrupt
q curve. When the head is reached a
short curve is all that is required, and
as you begin to curl the opposite side
you change the position of the left
hand. This time put the hand over the
feather instead Of under but the mo-
ten of curling is the same. After both
sides are curled the stem at the head
must be concealed, and this is done by
heading up" Holding the feather
firmly with the thumb on top, take up
few flues, and, pressing them sharp
ly against the thumb nail, lay them
over the stem. Do the same on the OPP
posite side, and continue to do this four
times. BY looking at a well-curled
feather you will get clearer idea Of
this, as 1t is something that really re-
quires to be demonstrated. To curve
the feather, place the blade of the
knife underneath the stem and press
against the thumb. Beginning at the
base, work up to the head until the
desired curve Is obtained.

Columbus, Ohio, dispatches state
that company is being organized IN
that city to build an electric railroad
according to plans made by citizen
of Middletown. The road is to rest
upon a line of single iron pillars
which are to be anchored in massive
stone foundations. The cars will run
upon single traction rail upon a
heavy iron beam extending between
the pillars and will retain equilibrium
Through the agency of single guard
rail above. The complete structure
will extend twenty-three feet above
the ground. Experts pronounce the
road perfect from an economical stand
point. A locomotive requires four
pounds of coal per horse power per
hour. out of which is obtained speed
of sixty miles, while these cars Will
run with consumption of one and
one-half pounds of coal per horse pow
er per hour, with an average speed OF
200 miles per hour.

The pardon Of Capt. Dreyfus by the
French government undoubtedly brings
to a definite close, so far as Judicial
proceedings are concerned, all action
on the part of the unfortunate Jew, or
on the part of his friends. Neither is
any case pending, and probably no case
can be made up, which will permit the
taking of further sworn evidence touch
ing the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused man. He has legally been pro-
nounced guilty, but by the pardon he
ds morally pronounced not guilty. The
"extenuating circumstances" found by
the court contradicted the
formal verdict of the court, for there
can be no circumstances that extenu-
ate treason, The government COM
pletes the contradiction by pardoning
the man. If he were guilty, his Of
Tense was so great that pardon could
not be merited. With moral vindi-
cation Dreyfus must be content. The
civilized world believes him innocent.

Widow of the Czarowitch.

The late czarowitch of Russia left a
widow and family. His imperial high
ness was morganatically married to a
beautiful young girl, who before her
marriage with him was in poor cir
cumstances and earned her living as
a telegrapkjst, but who was descended
from a princely family of the line of
the last king of Grusien. The widow
has three sons, and it is expected that
the car will make her a suitable al
lowance, but nothing is yet known.
The marriage of the late czarowitch
was an open secret in Russia and 1t
took place with the consent of the late
emperor, Alexander ILL.,, who is re-
ported to have said that it was wrong
to deny a dying man any wish he
might have. He lived in great happi-
ness with his beautiful young wife,
who was devoted to him, and who is
reported to be overwhelmed with grief
at his death.-London News.

WhistIing Trees in Africa.

Schweinfurth, the African traveller,
describes an insect organ builder. In
the country of the Shillooks, he says,
acacia groves extend over an area of
a hundred square miles. From the at
tacks of insects which have worked
to the inside their ivory white shoots
are often swollen at their base with
globular bladders measuring about IN
inch in diameter. After the insect has
managed to glide out of its circular
hole this shoot becomes a sort Of
musical instrument upon which the
wind produces flute-like sounds. On
this account natives of the Soudan
kaye named II the whistling tree.

w. X. Anderson, United States Con-
sui at Hanover, says: that 1t seems
to be generally admitted that Ger
man beet sugar, when once 1t
comes into competition with the Gu
ban product, must go to the wall. In
casting about for some way OF saving
the industry from utter destructlon'
many plans have been proposed, but
the most available seems to be to
increase home consumption To this
end, it is proposed to issue sugar as
a ration to the soldiers and to en-
courage farmers to feed it to stock,
especially to hogs. OF course, this
will necessitate the cheapening OF the
article, and the only way this can be
effectually accomplished is to abolish
the taxes now paid on sugar consumed
in Germany, and reduce or entirely
discontinue sugar bounties.
