OUR DARLING TEDDY.

Our Teddie S nice young man:
You know he's President
He kills the bear and hugs the coons,
And lives upon the scent:
He takes The lambs to his embrace.
His arms about their belt
Then, yum-yum-y m, smaekity-
smack,
Their darling Roosevelt.
OF all the presidents wave had,
He's first to have the gall,
To ask the kinky-headed race,
Inside that sacred ball:
But. then, you see, he saw a chance
To hit the South a welt,
And all the colored gals went in
To dine with Roosevelt.
The dams Is in their long-tail gowns,
Cut too short at the top,
Made goo-gooo eyes at Teddie, dear,
Till they could hardly stop;
The President-God save the mark
With pride before them knelt;
And then and there they harmonized
The coons and Roosevelt.
A lane is very straight, indeed,
That never has a bend;
This promenading with the coons
VIII some day have an end:
His epitaph will be in full;
Each word correctly spelt:
Here lie two hearts that beat as one,
A coon, and Roosevelt"
&C. A. Burress, in Ladonia News.

STRANGE ACTION OF TWO MEN
Supposed Attempt Made to do
County Attorney Farrar
Bodily Harm.

Was an attempt made last night to
do County Attorney BowG Farrar
bodily harm?
That is the question that is on the
lips of every one today.
Outside of the strange action of
two men there Is not evidence TO
establish the fact, but 1t is strongly
believed that an effort was made last
night about 10 O'Clock to either
hold up and rob or assassinate Mr..
Farrar.
At the hour above designated he
was returning home in his buggy
accompanied by Frank Forston who
lives on his place.
When approaching the crossing
of the Central just this side of Mr..
Farrar's house two men stepped
from the side OF the road in front of
the horse. The animal became
frightened at their movement and
wheeled around in the road. The
men did not speak and their strange
| action aroused the suspicion of Mr..
| Farrar and he came back to town
| and reported the matter to Sheriff
Minnick. The Sheriff and one or
two of his deputies returned to the
: scene with Mr.. Farrar, but in the
any one. The officers accompanied
Mr.. Farrar home and from Mrs.
Farrar it was learned that two
strange men had been to the house
! twice that night. The Second time
I they were noticed bys Mrs. Farrar
was about Q O'Clock. They were
/ walking and came in front of the
| house. They went around the house
and then left, going down the road
| toward town.
| Mr.. Farrar was seen by a reporter
this morning Immediately after he
came to town and asked about the
matter. He said:
| Further than stepping Ia front of
my horse the men made no other
demonstration, but their action ap-
peared to be little bit mysterious.
They did not speak and have no
way of proving that they had any
evil intentions toward me, but their
manner led me to form certain con-
clusions
The officers will make a further
| investigation of the matter.

liberal his morning, but considerably short
or The Dig run Uf yesterday. For the
three days this week the supply is about
the same as for the corresponding days of
last year. The demand, though, was active,
30 that the market was in very satisfactory
condition. .
Beef steer buyers seemed to have liberal
orders to hll and as a result they were out
early in the morning and the market ruled
active ana fully steady from start to
finish. The big end of the receipts con-
sisted of steers, but in spite of that TACT
there were very few left In first hands by
the middle or the forenoon. The handy
weight cattle were again the favorites, but
still they did not sell much of any higher
than they did yesterday and the heavy
cattle also sold to as good advantage as
they did yesterday.
The COW market was active and, II any
thing, a little stronger than 1t was yester-
DAY. A good many statesmen thought they
got as good prices as they did on Monday,
or, in other words. yesterdays decline was
reEained. That was not true in all cases,
however, and the market could probably
best be described by calling IL strong and
active, with some sales 6q1Oc higher.
Bulls sold freely at good steady prices
and the same was true of veal calves and
stays.
the stocker and feeder market was not
particularly active, but at the same time
there was not much change in the prices
paid. The supply on hand was not excess
siye and spectators bought practically
everything at all decent at just about
steady prices as compared with yesterday.

lowing the call the market ruled very ir-
regular. the old crop months showing pro-
nounced strength under further covering OF
shorts, which drove May up to another
new high level for the season. The best
prices were recorded just before the close,
when May sold at l0.77c, against yesterdays
point of lO.6Sc. Tn advances in the
spring and summer options was due to a
further show of strength on the part Of
the bulls and the development in the July
option at New Orleans, which was generally
attributed TO the better long spot situation
there. The Liverpool markets, being about
as expected, eXerted little influence. The
opening prices proved the lowest on the
near months and the close was within
point of the highest on May and July and
within 3 points on August. After the open.
ing the new crop months still further de-
clined under the favorable weather reports
