Real Mrs. Gr,lntly.

Everyone knows that "What will Mrs.
'Grundy say Pr is IL question tantamonnt
to What will gossip say about it 2" but
few people know anything about Mrs.
Grundv herself.
The character of Mrs. Grundy orlgi
mated in Thomas Morton's comedy of
speed the Plow,' Which was first acted
in London in 1913. The garrulous old
lady does not appear upon the scene,
but is frequently mentioned by Dame
Ashiield in her conversation with her
husband, for she is envious of Mrs
Grundy's good luck. Farmer Ashfield
becomes thoroughly exasperated, and
exclaims, says Home Notes:
BE quiet. will ye? Always DINING
Dame Grundy in my ear. What will
Mrs. Grundy say?' What will Mrs.
Grundy Think fCanst thou be quiet
and let her alone ~ The audience took
up the cry. What will Mrs. Grundy
say ?" and Mrs. Grundy came to be con-
sidered a garrnlous and candalOus old
woman. the typical gossip of the town.

THEY'RE JUMPING SIDEWAYS.

When the members of the trust
In II grab for golden dust
Boosted up the price Of meat toward the
skies
And were threatened with the law
They responded with "haw-haw.'
Yes they laughed until the tears gushed
from thcircy
In their power even yet
They regard tho legal threat
As hot air move to stop their little game
Think i: is II bluifing play
And it soon will die away.
But we've got them jumping sideways Just
the same.
But II few short yenrs ngo
Foreign nations made the blow
That this country was II very small Affairs
We'd navy on par
With our nation, and In war
Just shot or two would blow it in the uir.
We have opened up their eyes.
Overwhelmed them with surprise,
And. although they think they yet ARE in
the game.
And pretend to think that we
Never can control the sea.
But we've got them jumping sideways Just
the same.
When great official clique
by the MD of many trick
Tried to cloud the fame Of heroes We adore.
Tried 10 snatch the well-won crown
From our captains o. rcnown,
They were quite amazed to hear the people
roar.
"'Tis a passing Storm they said.
by the yellow Journals fed,
And will cut no figure in the campaign
game"
And they claim they have no fear
For the presidential year,
But we've got them jumping sideways just
the same!
When twas limited round about
That lhere was serious doubt
OF the good of female suffrage in the state
That its doom might soon be sealed,
That the law might he repenled,
What a flood Of mocking smiles ii did create!
Twas ridiculous, they said,
DrenminKs of II crazy head,
Scarcely worth n thought from maiden or
from dame
But although the fair ones mock
AT such idiotic tnlk.
We have got them jumping sideways just

Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall We behold her face

Denver Live stock Market,

DENVER, COLO. June 3.-Receipts
of cattle at the Denver Union Stock
Yards for the month of May broke all
records. the total was over 10000. The
southern movement, which has been the
heaviest known is responsible for this.
There would have been thousands more
come through here had it not been for
the washouts below Pueblo during the
early part of the week. The river route
was taken by those who could not come
up this way. The yard company was
fully prepared for the rush. Flenty of
good hay was on hand and a large and
competent yard force handled the i'm
mense number with promptness and
dispatch. The branding here also was
very heavy. AS far as sales go the trade
was principally i'll killers and for these
prices were very good and prices firm.
Fat steers sold at 4 to 6 cents IA pound !;
COWS at 5 to 5 cents, veals at 81 to G cents
and bulls at u to 3. cents. Stockers
and feeders were not in very good de-
mand. A shipment of GIG ID steers sold
at S. 10 cwt and others weighing from
5l5 to 500 lbs brought So to 81 10. There
are prospects of much better trade in
this branch the coming week as the
ranges have improved wonderfully in
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska because
OF the rains. Prices promise to be better
also.

ORDERED OFF
PREMISES
Clayton Bradley Is Charged With
Drawing a Gun on 3. southwiek-ls
Arrested and Discharged.

Clayton Bradley, a farmer, living for
about IS years has been living east of
the asylum, was arrested Wednesday
evening on the charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon, the complaining
witness being B. Southwick.
Bradley was arraigned before JUS
tice Horgan last night, and given until
1880 o'clock this morning in which to
plead.
When arraigned in court today
Bradley was discharged, after the case
had been investigated. II was found
that the gun with which the accused
committed the alleged assault was not
loaded, and before the man could be
convicted of the offence with which he
was charged ii was necessary for the
prosecution to show that he had the
power at the time TO commit an injury
on the person alleged TO have been as.
saulted.
II Is understood that Bradley pur
chased from a Salem real estate man
about 10 years ago "a tract of land that
was wilderness, so far as tillable soil
was concerned, and located east of the
insane asylum. lie secured the land
on reasonable terms, and made a par
tial payment thereon. Gradually he
removed the brush and trees from the
land, which he proceeded to cultivate.
A neat and comfortable house and 9th.
er buildings were provided, and by Wig.
orous, hard work, the tenant had in.
stalled himself on the premises, upon
which he continued TO make further
improvements. He became delinquent
in his payments, however to the
amount of about 5000, and the owner
finally disposed of the property TO Mr.,
Southwick. When the new purchaser
went to the Bradley ranch TO take pos
session of the property, It is said the
prospect of losing his home, which rep.
resented 10 years Of arduous labor. so
enraged Mr. Bradley that he procured
his gun and ordered Mr. Southwick
from the premises, and threatened to
do him harm should he again return to
the farm. Mr. Bardley is man about
80 years of age.

SIMPLICITY

The chief difference between the
Empire and the socalled Original sep
arators" is the Empires simplicity of
construction.
Older types OF machines stick to the
methods nrst employed when the art
of separation was new and not thor
oughly understood.
The Empire has simpllfed the prin'
clple and It's method of application; II
has discarded all useless, powereat
Ing, friction-malSing mechaniclsm, and
stands as a monument to the expert
/ skill OF the best inventors OF this coun'
try and Europe.
Capacity considered, Il Is the light
est separator built, and llghtness
means easy turning, The bowl-the
new Empire bowl, which has set all
the other manufacturers at their wits
ends OF small diameter and the de-
vice In the interior OF the bowl Is of
only three or four parts, all with fiat
surfaces, extremely simple and easy
to clean.
This device consists OF series OF
inverted cones with penorations
through which the milk passes as
the bowl rapidly reyolvesi in each
cone the milk and cream are given
separate separation so that there Is
no possibility of any Of the butter fat
escaping with the skim milk
While the separation is thorough
the device Is, as has been said, ex-
tremely simple. Compare II with
the old style, out OF date complicated
separators with 40 or more parts In
the bowl. Imagine the difference in
the ease OF cleaning; think OF the diff
ference IN the liability OF accident;
estimate the difference in the cost Of
repairs: remember that complicated
parts mean more friction and more
weight, and that means more power
Is required for turning. and We think
there win be no doubt Of your decision
as 20 which separator you want
which separator will really stop the
leak.

CLAIMS HE
WAS ROBBED

BENJAMIN Arnold, an elderly gentle
man who makes his home at the Canos
boarding house on High street claims
to have been held up by single foot
pad early Wednesday evening, and
robbed of all the money he had,
amounting to about Sc. The alleged
hold.up took place on Mill street, near
Church, and Arnold claims that he was
struck over the head with n club.
Chief of Police Gibson places no
credence in the report of Arnold's al.
legged robbery for the man Is reported
TO have been in an intoxicated condi-
tion when discovered. There is also
some question in the minds of the Sa-
lem police officers as to the actual fact
of the hold.up reported two nights be-
fore. when young man represented
that he was held up and relieved of
about $50. An investigation of the re-
ported hold.up has been attended by
the discovery that the young man on
the day of the reported robbery was
seen to play at a gambling game, and
lose at one time about S25. The Of
ficers are inclined u believe that this
may have been one of the preliminary
causes that resulted in the alleged
robbery.
