city and elsewhere on the Missouri
river have included draft after draft
OF good COWS which sold for prices
ranging from l cent 10 2 cents per
pound Better values were recorded
at the end of each days sales but they
were quotations that were misleading
to western shippers when they exceed
ed the cent notch. No western stun
of the feeder order has been able To
reach that figure during the fall
movment and the bulk on such offer
ings has been sold by western ship
pers and breeders AT prices ranging
from 3i5 to a cent lower.
Among the reasons assigned by
James &, Leary. the manager OF the
Union Stock Yards at North salt Lake,
for this state " affairs Is that there
has not been as much meat consumed
as on previous years. The big strikes
throughout the country have been fac
tors IN cutting down the demand.
Then the operations oi the half doz-
on buyers who practically control the
prices az the various markets have had
tendency to keep down the prices
Then. too, the northern man has been
out of II this year. owing to the un-
certain condition of the money market
and the corn crop he has not been
buying stock this var early in the
spring as heretofore. The Vest looked
to the east ana thought That there
would be no corn. and the banker was
not disposed to let go % his money
for the purpose of specializing in feed
ers. The corn crop proved TO be
good one Ia the eleventh hour Cattle
commenced to pour i'm late 10 the mar
ket and make an oversuppN Mr..
Lenry states that the big decline has
been on the common grades and he
does not LOOK for anything much bet
ter next year, as II Is the presidential
year and stock always slumps during
the period OF uncertainty prior to cleo
tion.
Despite this dark outlook more cat.
tie were consumed IN Utah this year
than ever before In It's history Dur
ing the past year about $4,000 head
were consumed right here at home.
The losses We're very light this year
despite reports to the contrary and
very fair estimate places the loss
at about per cent While there are
no absolute figures forthcoming as TO
the census Il Is stated that there are
approximately 100000 head Of cattle In
Utah at this time or approximately an
Increase Of about 90 per cent,
There * also a marked Improvement
In the grade cattle now being raised
Hercfords, Shorthorns and Devons are
rapidly taking the place Of the scrub
stock on the majority of ranches. The
competitions ut the State Fair now
held annually are regarded as being
prime factor In the education of the
stock raisers generally throughout the
state with the result that all breeders
are striving to get the best animals
possible on the ranges.

If the outlook for the breeders Of
cattle and sheep Is 4 gloomy one Ia
Utah aud the west generally those
who are raising horses have fallen upon
palmy DAYS. The sales of horses this
year have been continual. Ever since
the agents for the British army came
west during the Boer war and bought
up an the available remounts the prices
on good serylceable animals have
risen. Horses have been going out
OF the state steadily this year In small
lots with occasional trainloads TO
small towns Of the west and southwest
In addition from two TO 10 speculative
ubyerg have been in Utah throughout
the past year. These men have moved
800 carloads or about 5000 horses
The prices paid early In the season
were 60 per cent better than those of
the previous var, While they dropped
within the past two months they are
still from 20 to 80 per cent better than
those of Il year ago
The local developments in railroad
construction, irrigation bitches ana
general engineering work has made q
good market for the largest animals
which have been broken and converted
To those uses at values from $40 To
$50, making an advance In price OF
from 70 TO 100 per cent, The demand
still keeps up and horsmen state that
II will prevail all through the winter.
The ranges have been decidedly depict
ed but the domestic broken stock has
been Increased by fully 5000 more
horses than were In Utah year ago
The number OF the breeding stock In
the state has been materially reduced

State, was shot down on the street
by James H. Tillman, Lieutenant
Governor of the State. His con-
dition ever since was critical and
death resulted at 1 p. m. on Mon
day. There seemed to be no pro-
vocation for the attack. The ed
ltor met the Lieutenant Governor
and two friends on the street and
stepped to one side of pavement to
let them pass. No words were

pistol and fired. A dispatch says

Tne Monument China's Warning
TO the Boxers and a
symbol Of Peace.

The dedication Of the Won ket-
teller memorial arch, which occurred
a Pekin, Jan. 1S, was an impress
sive ceremony. The arch was
erected by China. Baron Won
Ketteler was the German Minister
who was killed by Boxers at the
outbreak of the Boxer trouble.
The dedication took place in the
presence of brilliant assemblage
of diplomats, many Chinese OIL
Gals, all military officers in Pc
kin. Baron Won Dergoltz, First
Secretary of the German Legation,
officiate in hehalt os Germany, and
Prince Chun, brother of the EN-
peror, who was sent to Germany
to apologize for the murder of the
Minister, represented China at the
alter. while imperial sacrificial yes
sells were erected before the arch.
Chun poured out libation in hon
or of the dead man. He spoke as
follows:
"This monument is to be a
warning, a sign of friendly rela-
tions between our two countries
and symbol of peace"
To these words Baron Won Der
goltz replied:
"This monument has been conse-
Grated to the Emperor of Germany
by the Emperor of China as perma-
nent proof of the anger of the En-
peror at this crime. In erecting
this monument in China he fulfills
the obligation he took up after TIC
events of 1900. The monument
shall stand as a sermon to posterlty
and as lasting symbol of the de-
sire of the Chinese Government to
promote and perpetuate friendly re-
lations with foreign governments. "

United States Supreme Court
Holds Adams Divorce Void.

The United States Supreme Court
Jan. 10, again passed upon the val
idity of divorces granted in South
Dakota to non-residents. The case
in point was that of Minnie An

said the question at issue is as to
which is entitled to administer M
ON tine estate of Charles S. Andrews,
whom both claimed as husband.
Mrs. Kate Andrews was the first
wife, and her husband secured q

naming there six months, the time

State.
The Supreme Court affirmed the
lower court, holding that the Dako

CONSCIOUSLY
ON RECORD.

Theodore Roosevelt is the first
president of the United Stated
since Abraham Lincoln who had
expressed himself publicly in favor
of woman suffrage before attain
ing the presidency. Cleveland
proved himself favorable to it by
actions rather than words, as he
signed bills giving women partial
suffrage in New York when he was
Governor Of that State. Hayes
favored it in his quiet way, and
helped to get a woman's rights
resolution through the National
Republican Convention of 1872.
Garfield recognized its growing
importance. He said: Laugh as
we may, put it aside as a jest ii
we will, keep it out of Congress
or political campaignes, still the
woman question is rising on our
horizon larger than the size OF a
mans hand; and some solution,
ere long, that question must find. "
Mrs Mckinley presented a
handsome doll to the National
Suffrage Bazaar not long before her
husbands assassination, and Ohio
suffragists, in their resolutions o.
regret for President Mckinley:
death, spoke Of him as a sympa
thizer with the cause. Some 9th
er presidents were believed to be
more or less friendly to it, but
Roosevelt and Lincoln have beer
the only ones to put themselves
conspicuously on pecord.
Woman suffrage is a subject uE

WEAK BACKBONE.


The Council of Sharpsburg met
and ordered the license on saloons
raised from 5000 per year to $3.50
This closed them for while. The
Council reconvened, revoked their
former order and made the license
at the old figure, 500 riad the
Council on their recovering made
an advance Of $50 more, making
the license $500, instead of going
backward, they may have saved
much remorse of conscience and

must sell it is a better plan to
make the business 60 high, bat

Letter Boxes Free.

The Postofice Department has
decided to furnish every farmer, at
it's own expense, with an official let
ter box, which, being the property
of the government, will be protect
ed against theft by the lawful au-
thority of the Federal law. Thus
in future, on the rural free delive-
ry routes, mail matter will be as
safe from robbers as when deposit

corners.
Another new departure is likely
to be the employment of womer

woman's suffrage would be far in.
the future. If there is a present
necessity for women at the polls
it is because men are not faithful
and honest with the greatest num-
Der, their constituents. Women
have home duties and church du-
ties. They are going into the
profession, the shops; and now to
purify politics is another question

OUR BUSINESS INTERESTS


The business Of Mt. Sterling is
of such proportions that it is OF
value to public carriers and can
be made more valuable If we are
wise in making connections with
other roads. The roads should be
feeders as well as a means OF COM
petative outlets. We should study
well our own interests and work to
that end. 1t was possible at one
time to have secured the Lexlng-
ton & Eastern but that opportunity
slipped and much Of the trade we
could. prior to the construction OF
this road, claim as our own went
elsewhere. We may be able TO
secure railroad facilities that would
give us fighting chance for its
return, but if we had a connection
it should be under our own control
so that trains would be run in our
interest, making such connections
as would be most convenient to
the trade. Our committees should
consider all these things.

The gand jury, if they carry out
the instructions Of the court will
be OF valuable service to the coun-
