January provisions closed from 21kqi21zc

Wheat ruled firm the greater part Of
the day, but trading was only fair. The
opening was easy on liberal receipts and
reports of large shipments from the Black
sea district, but the market hrmed Up
on liberal clearings and a good cash de-
mand Duluth reported upward OF SJ0,-
900 bushels for direct export and New
York reported IS boat loads taken Tor ex-
port. The san Francisco market was up
sharply on d strong export demand from
Australia. A large increase in visible
ana some profit-taking caused strong re-
action late in the day, but the close was
steady. December opened unchanged TO
sc to lsQi4c higher, at 72AQ%sc 10 7212c,
declined TO l2lsc, but rallied again to 725sc,

srade-nlade total receipts for the three
points. 1,405 cars, against ! 400 cars last
week and 1892 cars a year ago.
There was comparatively little interest
manifested in corn and prices were in
clined TO sag. Locals sold quite freely
early in the day on good weather and
liberal receipts, but later the market
rallied in sympathy with wheat and on
fair demand from a prominent long. The

ures. December closed 1s@Ac lower, at
2lG51lac, after selling between 30AQSl%c.

ceiPt OF hogs and lower prices al the
yards. the market rallied and the close
was firm. Commission houses and brokers
were good buyers at the decline. jan

HOG MARKET
WAS LOWER
Receipts Were Large for FRS
Day of Week
TOP PRICE WAS $6.4,
Cattle SuppIyMas Fairly Good
Market Unchanged.

The hog supply yesterday was good foe
q Monday and the demand was sUfic-
lent to take most of the hogs Al were
sold, but there were some hobs that were
shipped past this market in order that
the supply should not be too large.
Cudahy was the only buyer until late in
the evening. when Armour's buyer made
his appearance. Kansas City reported 10
tol5c lower and there were about -Oc
taken Of the wagon hogs here, bul the
bulk aof the car hogs sold for $6.45. Sew
eral car leads We're reported last Sat
urday at $500 but the commission men
claim that they were sales made Friday
night and weighed up Saturday morning,
and that $3.50 was IL fact the top SAFES
on Saturday. That being correct. tlIrn the
bulk of the car hogs sold yesterday only
8 cents under Saturdays prices, but the
large, heavy hogs had to be cut out in
order for the balance OF the loads to
bring that money

Cattle receipts yesterday were fully W
TO expectations and the stereotyped
phrase, best steady and all others
lower" was brought into use again Gu
daily. Dold and downtown butchers were
on the market for butcher grades of cat
ale, but the supply of that grade was
limited The demand here is for a good
class OF fat COWS and heifers and fancy
grades have not been very much in evil
dence for some time.

The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1902-07-19

Mr.. E. Hoffman, who has for two
or three years been boring for
water for an ice plant, has at last
completed well about one thousand
feet deep, which he thinks will sup
ply all the water he needs. The well
has capacity of 60 gallons every
minute without decreasing the water
in the we'll
1t was soon discovered that this
well was strongly impregnated with
sulphur and salt. Our people have
taken many trips to the we'll, and
have drank freely of the cool water
Some Of our business men have been
keeping the water in their offices, and
the INTELLIGENcER has kept a sup
ply for all visitors. We are satisfied
that the water is valuable discov-
cry, and we believe it superior to the
Excelsior Springs water. Mr.. Hoff-
man has sent samples Of the water
away for analysis.
Mr.. VIM. H. Chiles, who has for a
long time been using Blue Lick water,
says the Hoffman we'll is not quite so
strong in sulphur, but is a little
stronger in salt than the Blue Lick
water. He feels certain that the use
of this home water will prove benefic-
ial to dYspeptics and Sedentary people,
We have drank from all the springs
around Sweet Springs and MacAlister,
and we found no water as pleasant to
the taste as the Hoffman well water.
1t is about as strong in sulphur as the
black sulphur spring, and carries
enough salt to relieve the sulphur
taste, which is unpleasant to many
people. We would be glad see a pub
lie drinking fountain erected near the
public square, and supplied with
water from this well. We believe
the general health Of the city would
be improved.

opening triangle through which
we're three straight lines. Afterward
he searched every nook and Granny
OF the cave, but never could he dis
cover where the opening was.
The party, Of which Mr.. Steeg-
man was a member, discovered a
similar sign on the wall Of the cave,
but there was no opening back Of it,
Several parties are reported to have
made searches, but all efforts to find
the gold have been unrewarded with
success.

In our sorrow and loneliness, at the
death of our dear wife and mother,
we see and feel that we are not alone.
We have Him to comfort US who is

How kind the people OF Lexington,
Bates City and county in general have
been to US In this, our sad bereave-
ment. They have lightened our
sorrows by their sympathetic express
sions and tender cares; they have done
morel they have made US better by
their goodness to ber before going to
Texas; their kindness to the family

posed changes IN route Of the Wei

river, an advantage Lexington has

There is a federal cemetery here,
on the bluffs out Of town, most hand
somely laid out and the superinten-
dent, Capt. Taylor from Illinois,
courteously showed me over it.
Joining it is the town cemetery; in
some old and neglected corner Of it
lies the dust Of my fathers uncle. /
have the last letter that my father
ever got from his own father, coming
to him when cadet at West Point,
and opening with the news Of the
death OF ''your uncle Charlie Wilson
of yellow fever at Natchez, Miss 4"
No doubt my grandfather congratula-
ted himself on being safe in the
salubrious climate Of Ohio, with his
young and energetic helpmeet and
his children blooming around him,
but it was only a month later that
one morning he went to his office,
after the usual kisses for wife and
children, and before noon fell dead at
his desk from apoplexy. When the
"Grim Reaper" reaches for us clrcum-
stances matter little.
Our state is bound to Natchez by
the sublime poetry OF Mr. Chamber
lain's spy, Lord John, ay, whose
hero, Jim Bludso, had
"One wife at Natchez-under the-hill
And another one here in Pike. 7"
That part Of Natchez still exists.

withstanding all they owe to science
the southerners won't go back on
religion. Sunday the town is shut up,
you can't get soda hardly, The
men considerably shut themselves up
in clubs and thus the ladies can be
quietly devoted to church undis-
turbed. And there's a whole lot of
large, spleudid-looklng women in the
south.
II was the southern whites who
only wanted to be let alone in
in 1851; now II the meddlers will just
let the negroes alone all will be well,
for nowhere 10 the world have they
such chances as here in the cotton
states Railroad rates are high, ser
vice just fair. Hotel rates much
higher than with US for the same
quality Of accommodation. The
south is ''getting away with the
far west as home for new comers
The true financial system would make
it the best business section in the

At the last meeting Of the city
council an ordinance was passed to
provide for compelling property
owners TO put down and maintain
good sidewalks. We do not know
whether The ordinance can be enforc-
ed or not, but we hope it is in such
shape that it can be enforced, Here
tofOre pIoperty-owners have paid no
attention to orders from the council
10 regard to sidewalks, and we have
some very disreputable walks where
we should have good ones. The IN
TELLIaENcER believes il to be the
duty Of every property-owner to have
enough pride in the city, andNin his
own possessions, to keep bis sidewalks
in good condition. II he will not do
50 voluntarily, he should be made to
do So Every citizen is interested;
and when a dozen people keep up
good walks, the man who lives along
this line Of good walks should not be
allowed to destroy the Iiue by keeping
a patch ofrsugh paving, full Of mud
holes.

Follow The Fashion.

Senator Depew declares that
American representatives should
conform to foreign customs
even to wearing knee breeches
and buckles at the court in
England. Why should not
this rule be reversible ? Why
should foreign representatives
cling to their gold lace, uni
forms, cooked hats, etc, when
they come to WasingtonG Accor-
ding to DR.. Depew's idea it
would seem the proper thing for
an American at the Chinese
court to wear a queue, and his
shirt on the out side.-Savannah
