Life I'm Oklahoma.

A thirteen-year-old boy killed a
mountain-lion in a canyon six miles
from Grand, Day County, last week.
The animal measured eight feet from
tip to tip. There are almost as many
buffalo as mountain lions in Oklaho-
ma. Pawnee has twenty-five buffalo
and Guthrie seven.
Bill Grimes, Territorial Secretary, re-
Gently mashed his foot while fighting
n panther of enormous size. The story
is told by the State Capitol: "The Sec
rotary did not waver until the beast
was slain. He discov cred tracks along
Hominy Creek, and alone and with a
butcher knife started to investigate.
He soon came upon the panther under
projecting rock. Grimes dared the
animal to come forth. 1t thought the
Secretary looked easy. and promptly
responded. Grimes came into camp
dragging the panther behind him. after
fight which was both long and
bloody. So reports Mr.. Grimes, the
only witness"
AL Jennings. college graduate, at
the worst gangs of outlaws that ever
infested the Territory, has served his
two years of Imprisonment and is
again free man. What line OF bust
ness Al will now take mp is not known,
but there are several people who hope
he will not return to Oklahoma to
live.
A county paper says: "An old man
and his old wife came to town last
Saturday to market some produce.
When near the depot the team became
frightened and ran away. demolished
the wagon, killed themselves and the
old man. and crippled the old woman
so bad she had to be shot"

About three years ago the individual
bicycle companies of the country We're
merged into one concern, known as
the American Bicycle Company. The
organization started with great -four
ish of trumpets. 1t enjoyed a monopo-
ly OF the bicycle business, and jubi-
lanuy announced that II would prob
ably earn twenty per cent on its com
mon stock. Then 1t proceeded to per-
feet plans for rolling up dividends.
One of the plans" was the practical
elimination of advertising. Previous
ly, the volume of advertising done by
the individual manufacturers was
something enormous, and the bicycle
was Il stupendous proposition as a
money maker. But the great heads Of
the new corporation decided that they
might as well save the money. They
saved 1t. And it was about all they
did save. Ii came To pass that bicy-
Gle advertisement was rarely seen in
the magazines or newspapers, the in
evitable result being that the public
very rarely bought bicycle, and
the twenty per cent. dividends, like
Shakespeare's witches, vanished In
thin air. In fact, the company
couldn't even pay the interest ON It's
bonds. Finally the American Bicycle
Company failed, with large Liabilities
and small assets. 1t Is all decidedly
suggestive, observes Profitable Adver.

A movement Is on foot to bring back
to America the remains OF William
Penn from the Jordan burial grounds
in Penn, Buc.singhamshire, England.
Three wealthy Pennsylvanlans are
said to have offered substantial sum
for the Friends Meeting House in that
place and the bones of the man that
founded the Keystone State. In the
burial ground at Penn are the remains
of the founder and five OF his children,
also the remains Of the Quaker elders,
Isaac Pennington and Thomas ELL

talked of many times in the last few
years, but nothing ever came Of any
Of them. nor is 1t likely that anything
ever will, on account of the difficulties
to be met with in England.

Artificial butterflies are sometimes
manufactured for sale as rare speci.
mems to natural history museums and
private collectors, says the Chicago
Daily News. Their preparation mainly
consists In spreading with camel's
hair brush very thin gum or paste over
the wings of ordinary butterflies and
then sprlnkling over this certain deli
cate metallic powders Of various colors.
BY this def manipulation very com.
mon butterfly can be transformer into
one that is extremely rare. The fraud
came TO light through an alleged speci-
men of red admiral the butterfly so
widely noted for its brilliant red and
white hues. Sometimes the white
specks turn blue and specimen In
which this transformation has taken
place is regarded as great rarity.
The dealer knew this, and naturally
his red admiral had many blue specks.
Unfortunately for him the purchaser
was suspicious, and by the use OF n
magnifying glass and damp brush
quickly discovered the fraud.

Sheep-Receipts. 100; shipments none. There
has been larger marketing of sheep and lambs
this week, the total showing gain of 300 over
last week. 400 over the same week a year ago
and 500 the corresponding week two years
ago. The receipts thus far this year 400
larger than the same time last year and for the
month thus far there Is a gain of $500 COM
pared with the same period year ago.
There has been very good outlet for sheep and
lambs all Of this week, but the receipts were
large enough to accommodate all buyers and
there has been some change in prices. the de-
cline, however. was principally on lambs, and
averages prices at the close OF the week were
probably not TO exceed Csc lower than the ex-
treme prices prevailing at the beginning of the
week. The sheep market weaker in SYM
pathy with other grades. but they did not show
as much change as lambs. shippers were the
leading buyers all week. but there was at least
a normal demand from local butchers The quail
ity has been generally satisfactory and this. of
course. was some help to statesmen. At the high
time in the week extra lambs sold at s5.T5 but
later the top price was $50 and a good kind
sold around s5G5.25. yearing sheep sold as

Dull DAY in GRAIN PITS
WHEAT RULES WEAK. OWING TO
FAVORABLE WEATHER.
Corn Improved at Opening. but Prices
Soon Turned Weak-Oats Are
Also Down.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Dullness pervaded
the grain pits to-day and owing to con-
tinued favorable weather wheat ruled
weak, September closing %G%c lower; Sep
TENDER corn was off 14c, oats were down
3sq15c, but provisions were unchanged to
&c higher.
Trading in wheat was of very tame
character and prices were considerably I'M
settled. The opening was easier under the
influence of excellent weather in the north
west, September being sc lower at S0ssc.
There was fair demand the first hour on
fears of rain in the spring wheat belt and
the market turned quite firm, September
advancing TO 9$4c, but the general trend
of crop news was of a bearish nature and
free liquidation soon caused decline.
Liberal receipts of new wheat at Minneapo-
lis were depressing influences the latter
part of the session. The close was near the
bottom price of the day, September being
NQ%c lower at 7934q792sc. after falling
down to 79s4c December closed at Sic,
loss of &c Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 253900 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 61s,9o0 bushels against S24.So0
bushels year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 225 cars, which,
with local receipts of 80 cars-sixteen OF
the three points of 314 cars against 1856 cars
last week and 4S6 cars a year ago.
Corn showed slight improvement on
the early trading but trade was dull with
the bull leaders making no special efforts
to support the market and consequently
prices soon turned weak. There was an alb
sence of outside business and nothing con-
spcuous in the local trade The weather
in the corn belt was all that could be de-
sired for the crop and movement. After
selling between 51%c and SIC September
closed at 512sc, loss of nc December was
OFF as@hc, closed at 5lssc. Local receipts
were 27S cars thirty of contract grade.
Oats were chiefly affected by the liberal
selling on the part of a prominent interest.
1t was estimated that over half million
bushels of December and May were sold
out by the bull leaders and with a rather
limited demand the market developed con-
siderable weakness. The weather continued
favorable for threshing and the movement.
September closed asQ1fc lower at S4laqS47sc,
after ranging between 341aq34Ssc and 35c.
December was of 15c, closing at 36l4c.
Local receipts were 222 cars.
Provisions ruled firm early I'm the day on
a smaller run of hogs and better prices at
the yards, with good demand from longs
for October lard and ribs together with
covering by shorts. A firm undertone pre-
vailed throughout the entire session, al
though profit taking resulted In loss of
most of the early gain. September pork
closed unchanged at $12.S711. September
lard was up &c at $S.25 and ribs were also
sc higher at $7.77n
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, $40; oats, 25S; hogs
1900 head.

look out upon the main street an occa-
sional pretty sunset. A dining room should
