tFrom Saturdays Daily.1
John Morrell ard company packed
4,4S9 hogs this week against 1926 for
the preceding week. This shows a
great decrease in the packing industry
and is due to the fact that the farmers
have been so busy with their crops
that they have neglected the hog mar
ket.
Total western packing 425.000. COM
pared with 505,000 the preceding week
and $4,000 two weeks ago. For the
corresponding time last year the num-
Der was 315,000, and two years ago
100000. From March 1 the total is
10,290.000. against 9,675,000 year ago
IAN increase of $4,000. The quality
of current marketings reflects the
movement OF much immature stock.
Prices have held up well. and at the
close the average for prominent mark
cts is about $5.75 per 100 pounds, com
pared with $3.50 week ago and $3.50
a year ago. Early in the week the
foreign demand was fairly good, but
at the close this also became limited.
The week closes with buyers back
ward, and spectators cautious, giving
the market quiet tone. The exports
of product were rather moderate, be-
ing smaller than last week and less
than corresponding week last year

Price Current shows the number of
hogs packed since March 1 at under
mentioned places compared with last
year, as follows:

Chas. A. Walsh Puts at Rest
Rumors Concerning Governorship.
INTERVIEWED BY COURIER REPORTER
Says Ex-Mayor r. j. Phillips Is the
Wapelo County Candidate for the
High Honor-Discusses State Poll
tics With Some Reservation.

TTrom saturdays Daily.l
Charles A. Walsh says T. ]. Phillips
is the Wapello candidate for the dem.
ocratic nomination for governor. This
remark was brought about when Mr.

sentative, as to whether OF not he had
heard of the plans his
friends in this county had ar
ranged for him to be the next
democratic candidate for governor.
Mr.. Walsh says he is not candidate
and could not take the Office if he sc
desired. He says he would appreciate
the honor If it were rendered him and
If it were possible he would be pleased
to make the race, but under conditions
as they now present themselves he
could not think for moment Of such
a thing.
Home From Des Moines.
Mr.. Walsh returned this morning
from Des Moines where he attended q
meeting of the democratic state cen.
trail committee yesterday. Among 9th.
er things the committee approved the
speech Of Temporary Chairman Shar
on of Davenport, and transacted much
other ante-convention business. Mr.
Sharon's speech is expected to cause
considerable of commotion on the
floor Of the convention, as it is said not
to contain a mention of Bryan or sill
yer. When asked about what took
place at yesterdays meeting, Mr.
Walsh had nothing to say. He would
not talk on the governorship matter
outside of the declaration concerning
himself and ex-Mayor Phillips.
Will Have a Good Man.
Mr.. Walsh says first class mar
will be nominated and that they viii
give the republicans warm argument
this fall He says the party will be
united, and he infers that there will b.
no mention of silver nor Bryan, blu,
that the resolutions will probably dea
strictly with state issues.

Dog Watches at Sea" by Stanton II.
King. is a record, In straightforward and
unpretentious language of the authors
twelve years of experience In the mer-
chant service Unlike the famboyant ef-
fusions contained in the recent books of
Mr.. Frank r. Bullen. which are quite
unlike the one which made his reputation.
the sixteen chapters in this little book
contain no rhetoric and no vanity. 1t
sounds as If the author were telling the
stories to a company OF more or less re-
lated listeners.
According to the first paragraph in his
book, Mr. King has plenty of relatives
TO whom TO recount his experiences, for
he says:
1T may seem ludicrous when | say
am one Of tWenty-nine children and
the twenty seventh child Of my father.
He was married three times. His first
wife bore him eleven children; his
second wife, who was a first cousin
to his first wife. bore him ten. and
my mother. his third wife, who was a
sister 10 his second wife. bore him
eight We were not only half brothers
and sisters. but cousins all the way
along
If anybody can disentangle the relation
ships of that family he must have a mind
peculiarly fitted for problems of geneal-
ogy This much married progenitor of the
author lived in Barbados, and il was
from there that the twenty seventh of
his numerous family set out upon his first
voyage. He says-and it sounds extreme
~ probable-that he has relatives in al
most every part of the globe.
His experiences are picturesque. While
stiIl a boy he served in a sailors board
ing house in Brooklyn, and then became
