K. @. Line Stock Market.


Owing to big run in the first
days of this week and very poor
demand in the East for dressed beef,
prices of fat cattle declined sharply.
Quite a number of steers are being
offered that were turned on the
grass early in the season and killers
naturally are afraid of these full
fed steers that have had grass for
the past 80 to 40 days. We cannot
help but look for good, fat, dry
lot steers of all weights to sell at
strong prices during July, but think
light and medium weights will sell
at as high proportionate prices as
the heavier kinds.
A liberal per cent of the COWS &
heifers offered at the present time
have had some grass. and medium
grades of this class of cattle have
declined 40 cents within the last
10 days. Stockers and feeders are
selling lower than 10 days ago.

Il Public Library.
The Saturday Afternoon Club,
who, as individuals, have worked
untirlnglY and increasingly for 4
years for their own good, desire
now to do something for the gene
raj good and welfare of their city,
they have therefore, after much
elaboration decided that they may
best accomplish this by working to
establish Public Library. This
IS a great undertaking and can on
ly be attained by the Cooperation
of our citizens. We have only a
few members of our club proper,
but we ask every citizen to become
a member of the Library club. It
was our intention to start out in
the old beaten path of giving an
Entertainment, but on reflection
we have restrained from Furnishing
our friends Cat the present time in
this way and will let everyone evi
dence his good will and God speed
by donating to us one or more
BOOKS or magazines. The mum
Der has no limit, we ask and we
will receive from 1 to a wagon load
at Your pleasure. We want in the
first place that this Library shall
supplement the library of our pub
lie schools. We especially desire
to place IN it many books that will
enable pupils TO get much of their
supplementary reading from the
public library, that parents will
not be forced to buy so many
books for reference, abstracts and
readings. We will accept from q
books of any sort whatever with
out any captions faultfndings in
regard to age, bindings or previous
condition Of servltude. Give us
all of your old magazines & news
paper files. they are invaluable for
reference in writing essays, ora
tions, etc. Give US one or a dozen
magazines. for even sample copies
may fit in where one is lost from a
file. Our committee will wait upon
III all, each and every one of U
at your homes in the near future.
Look over your book shelves care
fully and give all . can spare,

all the old books y have stored
away and give those, they will be
