Choice Cattle Steady-Hogs Active and

UNION SToCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct.
2--Cattle-There were very few fresh arrivals
OK cattle. but about the average for a Monday
market. The arrivals consisted principally of fe-
male butcher grades and all sold to local buyers
at steady prices compared with the way equal
kinds sold at the close OF last week. Indications
are rather favorable for steady prices for all
strictly choice cattle in the early future. but il is
expected that there will be no improvement what
ever in the market for other grades. Export and

than it was two days ago. Quotations:

Would Not Isc Amiss,

The mad dog scare in Fairmont
that kicked up such excitement
there some months ago seems likely
to break out again. It is stated
by people of that place that the
mayor has ordered very strict en-
forcement of the muzzling ordi-
nance and number of worthless
ours without muzzles have been
shot. Such an ordinance here
would not be amiss. There are too
many dogs in the town that think
their mission is to snap at people
passing. Everyone of them ought
to be muzzled or shot to get rid of
the nuisance

About so ladies and gentlemen,
upon invitation of Capt. e. a.

r. Andrews, on yesterday evening,
went the round trip to Pomeroy.

gay party on board, and all enjoyed
the ride up the beautiful Ohio.
Arriving at Pomeroy the party
got off and spont short time in
that city, seeing what was to be
seen, and now and then meeting
an acquaintance or friend. An
appetizing lunch was served by
Capt. Burnside, and to say that his
guests enjoyed it would not half
express it. The Captain who is
one of the most genial men on the
river, looked after every detail to
make his guests welcome and sec
that they got all the enjoyment it
was possible to get out of the trip.
In this he was ably assisted by his
amiable, charming and estimable
wife. The jolly crowd voted Cap
tain Burnside and his wife, "the
best people on the river"
