1t is said on good authority that the IL
linois Central and the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific are both seeking to secure control
OF the Minneapolis g. st. Louis railroad and
the Iowa Central railway. A syndicate OF
Illinois Central interests. it is understood
has been recently buying the common stock

through a stock exchage house, as well as
conducting negotiations for the acquisition
of certain large holdings, but have not
yet succeeded In securing control.

HOGS-There was fairly liberal run of
hogs here today, and. as other points re-
ported a drop in values, the market here
started out weak to 2lsc lower. The early
sales were largely at A.95. with n number
at A92iR. The demand on the part of pack
ers was In good shape and the hogs moved
toward the scales at a rapid rate. Before
the morning was far advanced Ii became
evident that there were hardly enough hogs
TO supply the demand and as a result sellers
held their droves at stronger prices. The
last end of the market was about steady
with yesterday, the hogs selling at S4.95 and
Nsli9, with the better grades going as high
as 800 or the same yesterdays high
price. IL was good active market through
out and everything was sold and weighed
UP in good season. RenresentniINn "a los.

SHcEP-There were only a few sheep
here today and lambs were very scarce. A
string of yearlings sold as high as A.25,
which was considered just about steady.

Ne, a,s. 10 aee.y Ford.

A hayride 10 the Sugar beet me-
tropolis was enjoyed by number
Of young folks last "Wednesday
night, and il was along in the
neighborhood of $3.50 g. m. before
they returned to their homes in
this city. The incidents OF the
trip were many, and the noise
made by the party on their de-
parture was like unto the confusion
that existed at the Tower Of Babel
in Biblical times-w~ conjure.
The wagon had narrow escape
from being enveloped in Swink
quagmire, but that only made
more fun for the young folks, and
no damage was done.

One oi our prominent citizens
telephoned us yesterday morning
TO insert a local advertisement to
the effect that he had four room
house to rent. We wrote the
squib and our intelligent compost
tor set it up and placed it m a
galley. Five minutes later our
prominent citizen telephoned us
that the house was rented. Yet
soma people still insist that it
does not pay to advertise.

4 strange Case.

Katie Williams, an eighteen
year-old daughter of Mrs. Robert
Estes, made complaint to Sheriff
Barr Thursday night that some
one had attempted to throw vitrol
10 her face. There was semblance
Of truth in the complaint. as the
girls face and lips were badly
cauterized. Her story was to the
effect that while passing the cor
ner of the ST. Charles hotel, some
man had thrown vitrol in her face.
Sheriff Barr investigated, and
when he found bottle half filled
with carbolic acid in room at the
ST. Charles hotel, he questioned
the girl closely again. She then
claimed that some young man had
attempted to force her to drink the
contents Of the bottle, but she re.
sisted. although some Of the acid
burned her lips and cheeks. The
attending physician says there i
probably some truth in this asser-
ton, as there was no indication
that the acid had reached the
young lady's tongue or throat.
She refuses to reveal the name Of
her assailant. Her injuries are
not serious.
