Hogs-Receipts, 1000; shipments, $50.
Thus far this week the receipts of hogs
show an increase of nearly 1900 over the
same time last week. and the receipts to-
day were almost 1000 larger than a week
ago. There was a larger proportion of
good heavy hogs in the arrivals than there
has been for a long time past, and the quail
ity generally was considerably above the
average recently. The market opened with
all buyers in the field, with rather encour-
aging reports from the trade elsewhere
the demand was active. Statesmen grasped
the situation promptly ana held their con-
signments higher. 1t did not take long to
establish basis for operations, and soon,
with local packers free buyers, the trad
ing was active and sales were usually &c
to 10c higher than yesterday. The extreme,
S.20, is the highest paid in this market
since June 8, 1873. The number of good
hogs in the offerings seemed to stimulate
buyers, and morning prices were main
tanned to the close of trade A good clear
ance was made, and there appeared to be
a very healthy condition existing in the
market. Sales ranged from 1913 to 500.

ers in the field, and the demand was about

very little change IN values compared with

a few good animals in their class, but gen

at this time, and the bidding was hardly

Ordinary stock Of all kinds was hard TO sell
at unsatisfactory prices, but the market
for the better grades was much the same as
Tuesday and week ago. There were no
new shippers on the market, and the de-
mand was principally from the Eastern
trade, but exporters bought more than last
week. A good clearance was made at cur
rent prices.

VIM. Williams, E. L. Valentine, H.
o. Knapp and R. A. Nicholson were
before the board of supervisors last
Friday to urge upon them the neces-
sity' and Importance of grading the
road il question. The road extends
north from the Baughman bridge
across the bottom of North river.
The proposed Improvement is great
ly needed. In the spring of the year
or in times of high water the road is
overlooked and soon. becomes i'm
passable, and this in face of the fact
that the coal used in New Sharon,
indeed in all the country this side of
the river is hauled across either this
grade or across the bridge miles up
the river.

the evenings success is due directly
to the drilling by this gentleman.
Chas. WaIling was stage manager for
the show and his efficiency in this
line was attested more than once
The organization are indeed greatful
for the assistance of these gentlemen
and tender their sincere thanks for
the work done by them.
Symon Walling makes a capital
'niggah." The Oskaloosa public
have been led to believe that it was
Chas. Walling who was the minstrel
favorite but they learned last even
ing that there were other members of
the family who could do turn or
two in that line. The training that
Symon had when he was with the
Fifty-nrst regiment band has made
him about professional in this sort
of work.
Clyde Carver did some very clever
work, and SO did they alt.
Each and everyone of the lads de-
serve special mention but space for
bids. If you were there you know all
about it and if you were not your
neighbor will tell you about it. Come
again young men. Your next annual!
advent will be awaited with great in
terest.

THINK 1T UNJUST.
Opinion of Iowa Guardsmen Generally
i'm support of Company

The Oskaloosa company of the
Iowa National Guard is justified gen.
orally by the guardsmeh over the
state in their protest against the or
der of Adjutant General Byers in
changing Co. F 51st, of Oskaloosa to
Co. H of the 5Oth. Many letters con-
cernlng the matter have poured in
upon the officers of Co. F and all are
of the opinion that the change should
not be made.
The press of the state has taken
the matter up. The Washington
Journal has this to say:
Local guard smen are of the opin-
ion that the. Oskaloosa company is
justified in objecJing to being placed
in the 5Oth regiment and having the
letter of the company changed. They
say that the company has an envi-
able reputation for its Philippine
service and the organization ought
to be allowed to retain it's name. The
people of Oskaloosa object strenu-
ousiy to the order of Adjutant GEN
eral Byers making it Co. H of the
Fiftieth regiment"
