THE WISDOM OF DIoGENEs.

When Alexander asked the sage
Whose tub had sprung q leak,

That's all, and that's enough"
But gruff not. l really think
The Cynio In his tub
Knew more than many n modern dame
In Gotham and "the Hub
For he had solved the secret old
That light alone is life;
That sunless air for man and beast
With deadly germs Is rife
And we who In celled houses live
In this progressive age.

From Corinth's ancient sage.
Up with the shades. throw back the blinds.
And let the glad sun in
They who the gracious light exclude
Against the dear Lord sin.

HOG TRADE LARGE
Big Receipts and Strong
Active Demand.
TOPS SOAR TO S422 IL
Quality of Hogs Not Extra
Cattle Steady.

The live stock markets yesterday every
where were higher and the ton strong.
The local market not only received this
influence complete, but responded to It
even better. The western markets gener-
ally gave out early reports of a to 10
cent raise in the market quotation on
hogs. This market, however, beat this
record by a better strength, and the fair
quotation for the Wichita market was
strong, and 10 to Is cents higher. The
day opened with a rush and closed that
way. The market all day was very ac-
tive and the close was strong, in fact
the closing prices. the grade considered.
were among the best Of the day. It was
a very satisfactory day all around, the
receipts being heavy and the demand
beyond even the larger volume. There
were fifteen cars of stock in and fourteen
Of these were hogs. and an of them sold
about as soon as penned. There was a
very good demand for fat butcher hogs
and the local call as well as the foreign
order buyers, all were on the ground for
hogs. There was nothing fancy in yes
terday at all, but the hogs yarded were
quickly sold, and more Of the same grade
would have sold equally as readily. The
wagon trade was slim. There was little
received from this branch Of the trade,
and what did come in, was quickly absorb
Cd, and at the best prices. The quality
was common for this branch, too. All
the fourteen cars were sold in the ten
cent bulk range save the top car. which
went at a 2il-cent point higher than the
bulk. Stir prices ruled all day and the
shippers everyone made money yesterday
on their consignments. This market more
than held its own. as It has always done
In times Of advancing prices. When the
market shoots skyward, along with the
provision situation, all the several re-
ceiving markets at once report a higher
tone. and Il is a matter OF unquestiOned
history that the Wichita market at such
times always takes the lead, just as II did
yesterday. For instance, Chicago yester-
day gave out for the day report, this
quotation: Market fully 10 cents high
er." st. Louis, by the same Associated
Press dispatch, this way: Market to
10 cents higher" Kansas City: BEST
hogs TO 10 cents higher" This market
showed in comparison all day from the
early wagon sales to the last car sale
fairest quotation, 10 to Is cents higher.
and everything in sight was sold on the
spot. with the close as strong as at any
time in the day. There was no extra
uuality IN, either. In fact, the best top
hogs were only ordinary in grade and but
for the lively competition would not have
brought the prices they did.

WITH HIS VOCAL ORGANS
MP. Civil Service Commissioners
Brewer Is Taking Lots.

washington. July H-Civil Service
Commissioner Brewer. who presided over
the civil service investigation at Concord
last week, has returned. Mr.. Brewer
stated: II have no knowledge of the
filing of the charges against me by SEN
ator Chandler, and care nothing about
It. II Mr.. Chandler has any personal
grievance towards myself in regard to
my conduct of the investigation, he, OF
course, is at perfect liberty 10 present
the same to the president or any one else
whom he may see fit. The commission
had been led to presume that there would
be no difficulty in supplying persons who
had no knowledge of the charges which
took the commission to Concord. So far
as I know, none OF the persons asked
by Governor Buslel appeared. and while
quite n number Of persons appeared they
We're mostly those that had received
circular letter which the commission
on its arrival sent out to those living in
the immediate vicinity. So far as I rec
ollect now. no one who appeared claimed
to have knowledge Of Senator Gallinger's
connection with the sending out of cam
paiCn circulars. Senator Chandler in a
letter he sent to the commission dated
June !, made the positive statement and
specific charge that Senator Gallinger
had prepared the matter for those circu-
lar ltters. had coused them to be printed,
and had sent them out TO federal Office
holders, and that Senator Gallinger had
prepared a list OF federal ofice-holders to
whom they were to be sent This was
not from hearsay. but was a positive
statement, and OF course We assumed he
had personal knowledge. In his state
ment on the hearing. however. he very
frankly haid that he did not see the cir
culars. nor did he know personally Of the
facts. Special Agent Wells is still on the
case and will hear some other persons
whose names were presented to the COM
mission as supposed TO have some knowl-
edge Of the question involved. On his
return. all the evidence will be taken up
and passed upon. So far. however. the
case has not been disposed Of though
the lack OF evidence to support the
charges from those that were heard is
