A DRY DAY IN KNOX.
Some of the Terrible Things which

which hung close TO the earth. Still the

Disappointing Trade and Unsettled
Prices in Some Lines.

In the week ended March 16 the volume OF
trade in several lines was disappointing. Espe-
cially was this true of dry goods. boots and
shoes. millinery and hats and caps. The
leather houses had a quiet week, largely due TO
the unfavorable weather conditions which pre-
vailed until Saturday. Wholesale grocers and
iron and hardware merchants enjoyed a very
satisfactory trade. and on Commission row con-
siderable was done, as il was not too cold to
shin fruits and vegetables. Travelling salesmen
say that all that is needed is genuine spring
weather to give more life to business. In dry
goods, hides ana some lines OF produce prices de-
clined somewhat. Receipts Of eggs and butter

goods declines are noted. Fruits are moving
well at weII-maintsined prices. Vegetables are
barely steady. Irish potatoes are moving slow.

The arrivals OF cattle to-day were principally
stock contracted for in the country. and there
fore they were not OH the market. The supply
on sale was small. as usual at-this time in the
week. and with a steady demand a good clear
ance was made on the basis Of yesterdays
prices. The receipts this week are over 600
smaller than last week. but nearly LOO larger
than the same week a year ago, and thus far
this year there is an increase OF nearly 11,OOo
over the corresponding time last year. From the
beginning to the close Of this week there has
been an unusual scarcity of choice cattle, espe-
cially In the steer line, and a good many orders
for that class could not be filled. There has
been a steady demand for fat cattle OF all kinds
all week. and for the most part satisfactory
prices have prevailed. but there has not been a
great deal OF improvement. At one time in the
week the market for old cows for Gamers was
&c lower. but most of this was regained later.
There has been no better tendency in the market
for cattle between stockers and killers, and they
have not been easy 10 sell at current prices.
The conditions seem to favor a steady market
for the best cattle in the near future. Quota

JACK IS DEAD
Oldest Member of the Police Force
 Has Quit His Beat.

Jack is dead"
 1 That is the word that was passed 1 from one to another all day long yes
 terday, and it was not an idle remark
 for without doubt the passing of Jack
 caused more genuine sadness than
 would the announcement of the Geath | of many well known citizens
 ! Only for the reason that there are so
 many Jacks" in towns is 1t necesSary
 to specify that the one in question was ! the oldest member of the police force
 and the ranking canine on the staff. 1 He was accidently run over by the
 hose wagon about 7:30 o'clock yester- 1 day morning, while the department
 was answering the fire alarm and vas ! So badly crippled that he could not struggle to his feet, later being !e- | Cieved of his misery by bullet from 1 the gun of one of his best friends, Olli- ! cer Dowel.
 It has been Jacks custom to re- : spOnd to every fire cau .when ne was anywhere within reach of headquar-
 ters and he had foolish habit of head | ing the procession. running just ahead of the horses. As he grew older and less agile this practice became danger ous. Yesterday Fate caught up with him. As the hose wagon turned south on First avenue from Jefferson street another dog ran into him. he was knocked under the wheels and two of
 his legs were so badly crushed that he
 could not rise again. When the de- fro lp was lying in the road and synpa- thetic crowd was gathered around him. It was plain to see that his only cure was bultet. When 1t was suggested, Marshal Hooker found business eise- where. Deputy Bush agreed to the treatment but said $50 could not get his services, bad as he needed money. They passed the case up to oillcer Dowell, who said that a friend m need ! was friend indeed and drew his re- volver from his pocket. He placed the | muzzle against the dogs head but me trigger seemed to hang fire.
 !. Jack had seen many a gun put tc a dogs head and looked up into the of'i- cers face responsibility as though he fully understood his situation. Then
 he turned his head to one side with a ! moan. The gun was removed und again Jack looked into the eyes of his
 old co11panion. Again the cold mug gle pressed the dogs head and again it was removed. MT. Dowell then wiped a piece of dirt out of his eye with his handkerchief and the third time press ed the trigger successfully. The re- , mains were carted away and ths!r de- | cent sepulture will be looked after

today by cHlCer Bush.
 Jacks history has been an interest ing one and he has been the hero of a thousand local incidents. He was the especial pet of Councilman Dyer, who considered him all that a dog ought to be. It is related that when ever Mr. Dyer visited the engine house or city hall he always spoke to Jack first and to the others present after wards. The dog was about twelve years old and during his puphood lie was just an ordinary town dog and considered as worthless as any other rounder.
 Some five or six years ago when HI Hooker was jailor Jack got into fight and came out of it looking like Ham" burger steak. Mir. Hooker took him to the city hall and dressed his wounds. From that hour he has been the mas cot of the force. Two or three years ago hc started to Prescott with the militia boys on an excursion, but got off the train at Beardsley and for three months lived at that desert station waiting for someone to recognize him and get him transportation home. It came at last and Jack was the lappicst dog In Phoenix when he got home. He made the circuit of the town that night shaking hands with everybody, and was apparently surprised that Phoenix had been running so smooth' ly without him.
 He was a great dog to fight when 1t was necessary, and instead of being jealous of other pets around the en- zine house he would fight in their le- fense at every opportunity. The po' licemen relate many incidents wherein he has proved a valuable assistant In the arrest of law-breakers. He us> ually accompanied the night forge and if trouble occurred he could ba de- pended upon to do his part in quieting it in the right way. During the last year or so he has paid special attcn- tion to the chain gang and "1s equal to an extra man on guard. Many a hobo served his time on the streets that would not have done so. only for Jack. One incident is recalled where
