vance. There has been an active demand at the

ing too cold to ship perishable goods. except in
cars which are heated. In prices there Were
no changes of Importance, strong values being
in the majority. except that an advance in
nails of % cents per keg is noted.

ceipts of corn are increasing. All cereals are in

fair competition for export steers and it
took some time to establish a trading basis.
Finally, however, at prices much the same
as last Thursday and fully 10Ql5c lower
than the extreme sales last Friday the
trading was fairly active, and at the close
a very good clearance had been made,
local killers having been the principal
buyers. The supply of female cattle was
only fair. and sales, for the most part,
were at fully steady prices quoted. but
there were none good enough to test the

there. Yet they do not assume ex-
travagant airs on that account, for
they have besn told that Jezebel was
a wife and mother, and Lucrezia
Borgia, too; and SO. for that matter,
was Mrs. Jellyby, If there ever was
"any such person." Their families
have dinner on washday, and are not
afraid to go home to their meals in
the house-cleaning season.
They are the same enigmas that
their grandmothers were, the same
paradoxes. They are and they are
not; they do, and they don't. They
talk about the Catacombs with the
enthusiasm that BELTS an Easter bon
net, yet they adore those Gloves of
bonnets." They enjoy "pink teas, J"
and shakespeare lunches" yet they
earnestly desirethe domestic peace,
of Utah. They have the prophets
speculations. They see visions Of a
broader intelligence, with less of
mannishness, and less Of childishness.
They dream that benevolence, and
purity, and sslf.effacemeDt sball be
enthrnned along with their deep con.
viction that they are destined to be
what they most admire, and then to
be helpful in helping. They are a
prophecy-of woman's attainment in
things intellectual, and things spirit
ual; and in proportion as they are
able to discern the face of Truth, and
reach QUITO grasp, and assimilate,
and difluse, they are their own full
fillment,
And because clubs and club wom-
en- abound in community. we must
look for its gradual social betterment,
believing with the poet, that "a
greater Tomorrow is on its way"

We were 10th to leave sunny Italy
with her blue skies and wealth Of
art treasurers gathered through the
centuries, her beautiful landscapes
aud cities, palaces, cathedrals, moua.
staries, and the association of those
places once the home of those I'M
mortal masters of brush and pen and
chisel. whose names were familiar
even to our childhood ear.
We have tried to see little OF
France, picked up a few pebbles
from the battle field of Waterloo, fed
the silkworms at Lyons, visited the
potteries at Limoges, drank the new
vino of Burgundy, strolled through
the galleries, cafes and boulevards of
Paris, and were happy.
Next year we will visit Germany,
the Netherlands and Spain, yes
Spain, whom we SO recently used as
an object lesson to teach the world
to respect our army and our navy
and our flag.
But l would not have you think
we have become anglomaniacs, far
from 1T, indeed some of us are anti
anglcmaniacs, you know everything
has an anti nowadays; antitrust,
anti club, anti.expansion, anti-fat
and anti this and anti that, but we
are anti-anglomaniacs. We are like
the man from Chicago who visited
Rome and saw nothing that Chicago
could not beat, he compared every

Chicago was always ahead, at las
his friends grew rather weary and
one night after banquet (such as
this) at which he had imbibed rath.

combs and laid him in an empty
sepulcher and secreted themselve
nearby. He slept peacefully until
morning and when awake he looked
around, exclaimed, "By George
I'm dead and its the resurrection da,
but I'm the first man up and Chica
go's ahead as usual"
And now friends l will do as ;

Is the Amount Of Damages Claimed
From Thomas Hancock,

Mrs. Maria LAWYER, of Barlow town
ship. by her attorneys, Thompson,
Sykes q Middleswart, filed suit In
Common Pleas Court Saturday against
Thomas Hancock.
In her petition Mrs. LAWYER recites
that on July 25, 1889, she borrowed Of
Mary Hancock $2,4OC, giving therefore
a three-year note secured by mortgage
At the time the note matured, plain
tiff was unable to pay the note and re-
quested loan of Thomas Hancock,
the defendant, sum sufficient to pay
off the note with interest. Further
she alleges that she secured the SER
vices of the defendant as her agent to
compute the interest and settle the
business for her, which she claims he
did, and she gave him her note for
S3,2S4 secured by mortgage. Later,
being unable to pay, the mortgage was
foreclosed and she lost her farm.
Now the plaintiff alleges that the de-
fendant misrepresented the amount
due Mary Hancock and had the note
in his favor made in excess of the
amount necessary to pay off the first
mortgage. By reason of this she
claims she lost her farm and asks
damages in the sum of 100000

l.. Miller. Appeal from Justices
