The illness which terminated fatally
to Mrs. Day was only Of a weeks dur
alton, and although it was known that
she was severely i'll, yet her death vas
not expected. During the sickness Of

Of sympathy for the bereaved mother

only member Of Mrs. Fry's family, the
other daughter having died last August
at her home in Minneapolis, Mimi,
and takes away from the daughter and
little son the only parent. their father

born in Union county, Ohio, August
%, 1865. She lived in Minneapolis,
Mimi, for long time and came to Good
land in 1890. She returned here last
summer after a few years absence
which she spent in Minneapolis. The
memory of her untirinR care and earn
est striving for the welfare Of her child
rem and aged mother will shine forever
with a strange and sacred radiance
which time can never dim, because
they were all for loves sweet sake.

recently. The dog was with the troupe
when they appeared here.
The Denver paper says:
sThe st. Bernard dog repated to be

Constable FiIbins Of Hynes' court on
Saturday for debt Of $40, demanded
by Miss Cora Winters of Frank Leary

spent the day yesterday in durance.
For the first time In his life the star

FEARS OF SMALL Pox.
Considerable UneasIness Is Felt That the
Dread Disease May Soon Reach
Goodland.

Nearly all Of the counties surround
ing Sherman county have had a num-
Der of cases Of small pox during the
past few months, and owing to the fact
that case is reported from the Chin
burg home, in Wallace county, near
the Sherman county line, the disease
has been the topic Of considerable
comment in Goodland this week, and
fears are entertained that unless care
is taken the disease may soon break
out here.
At Sharon Springs several cases are
reported and stringent quarantine re-
gulations are said to exist there in
hopes the disease may be wiped out
Over in Rswlins county the disease has
been raging several weeks and one fat
atty resulted. Norton has case aud
many other near by places report cases
It appears that the disease is in a
mild form and in some cases where it
is supposed to exist there is a differ
ence of opinion among doctors, some
claiming that it is not small pOx, but
disease called Cuban chicken pox. Any
way, necessary precaution should be
taken, and it would be well to be vac
cinated.
''If the disease should break out in
Goodland." said a citizen the other
day, "what would we do for a pest
house? The county Jail might be used
as it is vacant now, but if a guest of
that institution vas obtained while the
Jail was being used as a small pox hos
pital, the culprit would no doubt make
a vigorous protest in being inearcer-
ated there. Nor would I blame him."

WHO'S FOOT IS THIs7
Human Foot Found In Possession Of a
Dog. the Origin OF which Is
Wrapped IN Mystery.

a LETT human foot walked up the
hack stairway Of the Sharp building
Monday forenoon, bat it was carried
by four canine feet and held tightly in
the CANNES jaws.
DR.. Thomas met the dog just then
and arrested the predatory cur and
gave the weary foot 3 rest. It now
reposes from its ghostIy march on a
table in the back room Of the doctors
Office and was viewed with curiosity By
many persons during the week
The doctor makes a business Of tax
ing dead things out Of the mouths of
humans, but the taking Of such an
uncanny thing as a human foot out of
the mouth Of a dog was an entirely
new experience for him in dental
surgery.
The foot has been amputated just
above the ankle, and has the appear
ance of having been dissected and pre-
served in alcohol. The skin, adipose
tissue and muscles have been removed
and only ths bones, IiRaments and ten
dons remain. The entire foot is intact
except the oscalcis, and it may have
been amputated because of necrosis of
the bone.
Whose foot it is, or was, is a mystery
yet unsoIved. Its origin and history
is shrowded in gloom. Some things
are certain and others are matters of
mere conjecture. 1t was once a baby's
foot, either boy or girl. and as the
little one sat on the floor while the
watchful mother was at her house
work, it played with that foot, and,
possibly, tried TO suck one of those
CHASTITY toes. Later on it learned to
walk, toddled, stumbled, fell; got up on
its pegs again; succeeded, walked, ran,
jumped While in the gay and sport
i've period of youth it went accounting
or was cOurted; perhaps accepted the
invitation Of L'AllegrO, Come and trip
it as you 60 on the light fantastic toe"
1t walked in the paths Of virtue or with
the throngs along the bOulevards Of
sin. 1t sUffered-fOr one of the toes
shows the work of the torture of the
shoemaker corn. It's owner was
foolish, wanted to be fashionable and
wore tight shoes. 1t fell victim to
some disease, the doctor got in his bill
and finally got out his knife and saw.
Who saw the saw sever this pedestal
from the suffering sinner is a secret
sealed in the silence of the sepuleher.
Will some one rise to explain?
Doesn't Want Coyote Bounty Abolished.
"That's all wrong about my prOpOs-
ing to do away with the bounty on
coyotes. I won't introduce a bill of
that kind, you can put that down for
the benifit Of those fellows in western
Kansas. I say the coyotes are the nat
uraI enemy of the prairie dog, but they
are both terrors to the cattlemen and
must both go.
"I stick to my original idea" contin-
ued Representative Stephen Cave, to a
Topeka Journal representative, shat
the dogs can be innoculsted with some
kind of disease, to communicate from
one to the other, and thus wipe them
out by introducing a pestilenee into
the dog towns. President Nichols, of
the Agricultural college at Manhattan,
agrees that this method will kill them
of. I was out to see him Saturday"

STEEL TRUSTS POLICY.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Iron Age
to-day says:
BY many in the iron trade the an
nounoement Of the low prices for ore
Is NOW interpreted as proof of the fact
that Standard Oil principles are to
guide the management of the United
States Steel Corporation. As one Of the
brightest sale managers of one con-
stituent concerns put it, those princi-
pies MAJ fbe summarized briefly:
Better service, improved quality and
lower prices.
This, Sc far as the last named are
concerned, would be breaking with the
traditions of quite a number of leaders
in the iron industry, who have believed
in making the best of the opportunity
Of the moment. A furry has been cre-
ated by the threat of the Amalgamated
Association to force q fight on the rec
ognition of the union in the sheet mills.
/. the markets continue strong, but, as
is natural, have quieted down some
what in pig iron after the long period
of activity. The steel market is rather
dull, chiefly because while the demand
is restricted the supply is even narrow
er and premiums are still paid for
prompt delivery. In all branches of the
finished trade me reports Of heavy de-
liveries continue, and there is evidence
that a good deal of new work is being
taken.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-There was a

reported that exporters had taken
eighty loads, probably half OF It for
Germany, shorts rushed to cover, adj
vancing the price OF May TN. Profit
taking sales caused a reaction from
this to 70H, but the surprisingly large
quantity taken for foreign shipment
had given sentiment a bullish turn and
the close was firm, May ~A034c high
er at 7191sc. 1t was reported that
400, 900 bushels had been sold for ex-
port here, but the rumOrs could not be
confirmed. Seaboard clearances in
wheat and flour were equal to 227, 000
bushels, while primary receipts aggre-
gated 361 900 bushels compared with
$4,000 bushels last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 245 cars against
210 last week and 257 a year ago. The
receipts were q cars, none of contract
grade.
The corn market was a professional
affair. Bull leaders gave it some sup
port, but apparently did not care to
have it advance at present to a level
where it would be an object to detain
corn-laden boats in the harbor to de-
liver their cargoes on May contracts.
Yesterdays liberal cash sales and light
receipts with practically no movement
from first hands, tended to hold prices
firm early. The weather, however,
seemed to be more favorable, inducing
some selling by room traders late in the
session under which prices recedd. Nap
sold between 44%c and 43Ac. and clos
ed A@ac lower at 43k @44c. July at
the close was A@%c under the May
level. Receipts were 81 cars, 29 of con-
tract grade.
Selling May and buying July, with the
former at hc premium, was the fea-
ture of a quiet session in the oats mar
ket. The opening was firm, but prices
eased off later on improved seeding
weather and in sympathy with the corn
reaction. Receipts were las cars. May
sold between 25Ac and 25%c, and clos
ed nc lower at 25asc.
Provisions passed another dull day.
The cash situation was easier and pork
and lard sold off a trife in consequence,
but ribs held steady. The range vas
narrow. May pork closed five cents
lower at $14.27h; May lard 21ac down
at $7.97k, and May ribs unchanged at
$3.50.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 35 cars; corn, 140 cars; oats, 100
cars; hogs, 1900 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
