Paid 500, ooo,oo for stock.

The National Stock Yards constitute per-
heps the largest St. Louis enterprise. In
the last year more than 500, 100000 worth of
cattle. hogs. sheep. horses and mules have
been marketed here. and the present trend
of the market indicates that this big fgur
will be exceeded the current season.
On account Of the geographical location
OF the city, and the inducement offered in
the highest prices, new territory Is con-
tinually being added. More Iowa shippers
are coming here than was ever known be-
fore. while from Kansas and the Southwest
the receipts are constantly increasing. This
Is especially true of Oklahoma, the Indian
Territory and Texas.
So far this year this market has received
SSH cars of quarantine cattle. while Kansas
City and Chicago together have only re-
cetsed 5,503 cars. This is a gain locally of
1.2I3 cars over the record for a correspond
ing period last year. In one month the re-
ceipts have been 24.SSS horses and mules,
1920 sheep and 1906 hogs. An increase
OF 1900 head of cattle over last years re-
ceipts is shown in this connection.
The slaughter at the yards is increasing,
as will be seen from these figures: in the
first five months of 1901. 1882 cattle were
killed. The first five months of this year
witnessed the killing of 21S, 31S head, a gain
OF about 20 per cent.
Armours Have Big Plant.
With the completion of the se.oO0.oO0 plant
Of the Armours. which VIII be finished in
a few months, the killing capacity will be
greatly increased. This plant will slaughter
daily LEGO cattle. 5000 hogs and 1000 sheep.
1t is said that as soon as 1t is completed
the Armours. who purchased twenty acres,
will at once begin the erection of another
plant of similar size to cost 100000.
The one now in course of construction
consists of two buildings, each of which
is 6OOxa0 feet. seven stories, and q third
building 3o0x150 feet, four stories, giving a
total floor space Of about two million feet.
About 1,5O hands will be employed. More
railway tracks are being laid, making the
trackage through the National Stock Yards
a total more than thirty miles.

QUIET FOR TELEGRAPHERs.

| Such Will be Their Life on Little Co., l ral Reef in the South Pacific. | The little coral reef in the south Pa cific ocean, known as Tanning island, is to be a resting place for the English
 submarine cable to stretch it's long
 length from British Columbia to the Australian commonwealth. Although a mere speck on some maps, and entirely
 absent from most aliases 1t has devel-
 oped great importance in the telegrap
 system of the world It lies 10S0 miles
 south of Hawaii and, to be geographi-
 cally accurate, is situated in latitude
 three degrees fifty-one minutes twenty
 three seconds north, and in longitude
 fifteen degrees twenty-one minutes fifty
 seconds west. On this island the Paci-
 fc Cable Board. by which name the
 English cable company is called, has
 determined to establish it's mid-ocean
 station. expending thereon between one hundred thousand and one hundred and
 twenty thousand dollars in San Fran cisco.
 The plans for the buildings have been prepared in this city by Henry H. Mey- CTS, and provide for quarters for the teegraphie staff, including the opera ting room, dwelling for the supernten- dent of the station, carpenter shop, bath houses, a lamp-roon, kitchens and a large reservoir for the catching and preservation of rain water for drinking purposes. The walls of these structures are to be of coral obtained on the is land, but all the other material will come from San Francisco. The coral will be covered with cement on the ex- terior, and the buildings will be made as nearly fireproof as possible. They will be for the most part two stories in height
 ed at English harbor, the only ship ping entrance on Tanning island, al- though it is nine and half miles long and four miles wide. pecuiarity of the place is that it is not above two or three feet above the level of the ocean, excepting on he outer coast, where the rim of the coral has been thrown up by the action of the sea to the height of ten feet in some places, There are trees on the island, but they are mostly so that fuel, as well as drink ing water, is a scarce article. The CO., ral isle has been a British possession since 1793.-San Francisco Chronicle.

l many hair pins to keep them straight, l m tact, queen Lavinia Dempsey, at her | Waldarf coronation a few years ago,
 created sensation by using two ordl- | nary hat pins to fasten her royal crown. The new tiara pin is long and very l strong gold phir-pin with a patent safe " catch. Its top is ornamented with l jewels to match those of the crown. TWO of these pins are worn with each
 tiara to keep 1t in place. Hair dressing, 1t will seem, will show | the most decided changes. Of course 1 the hair will be dressed very high for | the function of the coronation itself Already in London engagements have been made with the fashionable hair l dressers for the great event and some of the engagements are for as early as six o'clock on the morning of the day be- fore the coronation,
 So busy will the French hairdressers ! Of London be that they will spend two | days before the event in waving and l curling the hair of the women who will be at the Westminster Abbey ceremo- nles and these tresses will be left in
 their unfinished state until the night
 before the coronation, when the hair dressers will go about to the different residences to arrange the elaborate
 cultures for the event
 Hairdressers on this side of the water
 hint at the return of powdered hair and
 say that many curls and puffs will be
 necessary for every fashionable Wo-
 mans head. They welcome the idea of
 elaborate hairdressing, while women
 who have become welded to the simpler
 modes of the last few years dread any
 such innovation.
 Undoubtedly feathers will have an-
 other great boom. While they will not
 displace the tiara for evening dress, they will wave from hats in place of the
 flowers and foliage that at present
 bloom in the milliners windows.
 It is an eloquent fact that although
 the typical hat of this season is luxu- riously decked with flowers, the really smart hat of the spring is the three" cornered Continental shape with folds of tulle and nodding aigrette and feather pompom in white--the true court combination of feathers and veil.
 In fact veeils and loops of ribbon hang from the backs of many of the late spring hats, suggesting the presen- tatlon head dress. This fashion, ac- cording to the Fifth avenue mllliners, will grow in extent as the season ad- vances. Smart women have seized upon the model in contrast to the over burdened rose and leaf hats of the mo ment.
 English women are already carrying little jeWeled canes with ornate tops, sceptres. These canes have been seen on the New York stage in some of the up-to-date production and are really the extreme of London's fashion just now. They are entirely different from the high French empire staffs that only threatened to become the fashion here some seasons ago. finally evolving into cotillon fa Vors.
 Coronets are already the fashionable accompanying the initial ] and monogram on stationery and on | and linen. The fleur de | lis and the empire wreath have been | displaced and simple coronet will | mark the doors of the new carriages l! and broughams.- York Sun.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked ''In what way are Chamberlan's Stomach X Liv- CT Tablets superior to pills?" Our an sWer is They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. They cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by consti- patton. For sale by all druggists

THREE WEEKS IN THE SEWERS.
A Fox Terriers Hard Experience
 Subterra mean New Orleans

l A Fox Terriers Hard EEpeflelCe III
 subterranean New orleans.
 l Nellie, the wellb bred, highly valued fox terrier of Colonel James Hagan,
 deputy wharf commissioner of the port, has experienced a touch of strenuous life that puts most dogs records to shame. The pup got lost in the citNs
 new and ramifed drainage culverts,
 and after wandering about under
 ground for a period of three weeks,
 came to the surface again still alive,
 but in deplorable physical condition.
 If Nellie could talk she could unques
 tionably tell one of the most thrilling stories of the day As she cannot speak, people must look upon her vast ed form and draw their own concu- sons. Suffice it to say, this intelligent terrier is not chasing any more rats into the curb openings,
 We had two teriersNellie and Jack
 we thought all the world of" re- marked Colonel Hagan, at the offices of the port commissioners. They had been around the place since they were puppies. When any ofus went for a walk Jack and Nellie formed a part of the company. They were smart, and especially Nellie, always alert. She would tackle anything and seemed to like the idea of learning new things when we were out on our strolls. l never went for walk without the dog
 50 it was quite natural for them to be with me when I started out one Sun day afternoon, now more than three weeks ago It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, I had walked to the corner of Toledano and St. Charles ave nue from my house, on Pleasant street. The new drain starts down the avenue from there and follows the riverside to Thid street The dogs started a rat and I saw them chase 1t into one of the openings, but didn't think anything of that, for they were always doing it. When I got home however, and Nellie was missing I knew something must have happened to her. Taking crow bar We went over to the Toledano cor ner and lifted up some of the plates to see if she might be under them, but no trace of the terrier was secured.
 "Time passed, and no word came from the lost Nellie. Advertisements brought no returns and the days passed into weeks, when one night my son came home and told me a friend of his living out in the Fourth district had seen a fox terrier wearing collar bearing the name James Hagan, II 307 Pleasant street. and that the dog was and in horrible condition, to have been starved almost to death. Inquiry was hastily made, and, to my delight, found Nellie in the of an old woman near the corner of Claiborne avenue and Third street She told me the terrier had | come aut of the drain the day before.

small mills upon the mountain sides
and 10 the gulches. The mountains
look as u the sapsucker aud tho king
fisher must be numerous, for the
mountains are full Of lii,le holes on the
sides, and the men with their heads

prairie dogs ono lnds on the way
through Kansas aud Colorado. The
market produce, which Is brought Ia
every morning TO the Union market, is
handled by Italians, aud everything
goes to show that they are splendid

Since the retirement OF Justice Gray
from the United States Supreme Court,
and the probable early retirement of
Justice Shiras, the question has been
raised which of these iurists by revers-
Ing himself made the Supreme Court
declare the income tax unconstitutional
by q single vote. Judge shiras has
generally been accused aud ceusured
ior this act, bat /, appears that II may
have been Justice Gray, OF course
the secret deliberations Of the Court
are never given out, and as to which
Of the Justices reversed himself Is a
matter of speculation largely.
