Co, In review of the week written for
this paper, say:
Cattle that have been arriving the
past week have been of the same IN
different quality that has character
ICED the arrivals of late With no varl-
ETY. to select from, the local slaughter
er has proceeded in rather listless
manner. The trade early in the week
was all that could be asked for and
values advanced materially on steers
the butcher stock market closely FOL
lowing the course of the fat cattle
trade. The latter part of the week,
however, witnessed reaction. Pres
ent prices are certainly not very at
tractive and it is hardly likely that we
shall see anything like liberal receipts
70 rawhile. The cattle in the country
seem to be in firm hands and will un-
doubtedly be fed nearer to finish,
which will prove bullish feature. The
feeder trade has been sharply higher
of late. Stalk fields seem to be cleared
of the recent SHOWS and there has been
good demand for supplies to run on
such feed Local dealers have held lib
eral orders, and in consequence the
moderate receipts were quickly absorb
ed. Prices on hogs continue to fiuctu-
ate sharply, but the undertone seems to
be strong for desirable classes. The
sheep trade is in a very satisfactory
condition, and with wool bringing good
figures and under the influence of a
splendid export demand, the outlook is
very encouraging"

Burlington, Jan. 20.-A special to the
Hawkeye from Washington, Iowa says:
Clinging to his lines and the team,
which he was driving running at break
neck speed. William Clyde, young
man residing. in the Scotch neighbour
hood northwest of here was found dead
in the bottom of his wagon box late
Saturday evening. Ry driving as fast
as his team could be compelled his
brother reached the runaway team,
stopped thenl-too late, however, for
his brother died soon afterward of in
ternal hemorrhage. 1t seems that the
two brothers had been unloading corn.
While doing so, the brother William
complained from sickness on account of
a pain his side. He had started honle
with his team a mile distant, when the
tragedy related above occurred. Be
ing overcome he tainted in his wagon
and the jolts of the vehicle over the
rough roads caused his death. Mr..
Clyde was young man highly es-
teemed in his neighborhood and his
sudden death is widely lamented. The
funeral, conducted by Rev. Crozier. was
held this forenoon from the Scottish
church.

BOONE is DISSATISFIED.
Will Secure Some Changes in New
Government Buildino,

Government Building.
Boone, Jan. 20.-The cut of the pro-
posed government building which was
published short time ago in the Reg
lister and Leader and reproduced in the
to Boone in securing changes in the
plans before it became too late for
change. When the cut and description
appeared there was general disapprov-
al of the same for several reasons. The
building faced east on Arden street,
when 1T should face south on Eighth.
The building was to be mostly brick,
whereas stone is demanded. The build
ing is 60xS0 feet, and 35 feet high to the
balustrades, and this is disappoint-
ment. The style of architecture is not
well adopted to so small a building.
Upon seeing the printed cut several
protests We're sent to Washington. 1t
is not denied that the cut is a correct
representation of the proposed build
ing, but the authorities at Washington
have promptly let 1t be known that GER
tain features will be remedied. The fol-
lowing letters were received by c.. T.

Mayor Rose Contracts for a

General News of the Day.

Milwaukee, Jan. 20-Mayor Rose
bought his 5000 tons of hard coal in
Wales. and a ship with 1900 tons of 1t
left the river Severn at Cardiff yester-
day, bound for st. Johns, New Bruins
wick.
The mayor returned from Canada
ments for the shipment of the cargo
thru Canada on the Canadian Pacific
railroad. The president of that COM
pany Sir Thomas Shaugnessey, is a ma
tive of Milwaukee, and a former mem
Der of the common council. therefore
when the mayor told him that Milwau-
ikee people were suffering for the lack
of fuel he gave his personal attention to
the task of hurrying the shipment. The
coal will be loaded upon cars at st.
Johns, which will come thru to Detroit.
thence over the Pere Marquette line to
Milwaukee.
The rate made by the Canadian Pa
cific road is S3.4S ton. This, says the
mayor is 81 lower than the regular
rate. The cost of the coal in Milwau-
kee is to be 50 ton. with the cost OF
delivery to houses extra.
Hard coal now costs an average OF
80 delivered in Milwaukee. and the coal
companies say they will have hard coal
in to relieve the situation in a few
weeks.
The negotiations Of the mayor were
principally on with A. NJ. Mcclure, of
Toronto, who says that steamer with
the coal on board has already left
Wales.
In figuring out when the coal which
Mayor Rose has ordered from Wales
would reach Milwaukee. railroad man
says that all CT the 5000 tons said to be
on the way would not get here before
the mi idle of March. 1t is figured that
il the coal has left Wales it will reach
ST. john N. B., Jan %. 1t Will be I'M
possible for the Canadian Pacific road
TO furnish all the cars at once Tor It's
transportation, and, moreover, IL Wouio
require at least three days time to I'M
load the vessel. The loading of twen-
ty-fiye cars would require seVera. ad-
ditional days, and the trip to Detroit
over the Canadian Pacific road would
take about six days time, altho perish
able freight has been forwarded from
Milwaukee to st. John in five days.
Having reached Detroit, twenty-shree
days will have passed.
The trip from Detroit to Milwaukee
requires two days ii everything goes
we'll Here deliveries may begin as soon
as the cars have been switched to their
yards This makes the probable date
of distribution of the coal under fav-
cradle circumstances Feb. Is. But at
that time there will he but $50 tons OF
coal in the city from the Wales con-
signment. At the rate OF probable ar
rival the 5000 tons will not all be here
before the end of March.

a CATTLE SHORTAGE.
Reports From Western Ranges Indicate
That Cattle Are Not Doing Woll.

South Omaha, Jan. 20.-Considerable
amusement, rot unmixed with anger,
has been excited at the Union Stock

pearing in Leslie's Weekly of January

Breaking the Grip of the Meat Trust"
The article recites that half dozen
western states have more cattle In
their feed lots than in decade and
these will be put upon the market with
in the next sixty days, causing lower
ing of prices to the consumer. In con-
clusion the article gives these remark

Representative David Hanna, OF
Wood Lake, Neb.: The situation is

cattle reaching the grass beneath. The
snow extends as far east as Norfolk and
one or two tiers of counties south.

their cattle, and thousands OF head are

Belle Fourche. S. D., special: The
cattle are suffering. 1t is a common
sight to see cattle with the skin torn
from their legs as high as the knees
from walking thru the crusted snow.

NJ. Mcbride. Colfax county: Cattle
feeding is lighter than usual, most OF
the farmers feeding only small bunch

Frank B. Robinson, South Dakota:
Glaze on the snow prevents the cattle
getting grass. Reports that cattle are
in good shape are untrue.
Basin City, Wyo, special: A deplor-

of rain and snow Is preventing the cat
tie getting water and they are dying on

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
PuIest Of Emo|Iients and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Disfsuring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointmentis beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss Of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by a dose Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing Of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
Identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, ut the
same time, the charm Of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in-
fancy to age, far more etlectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
It's "Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies, or 8 Sanative, antiseptic cleans
ing or stOne-night treatment of the
hands" or "Single treatment of tho
hair, or Use after athletics, /" cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
OF iCuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
Of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and Identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chafings, as well as for all purposes Of
the toilet, bath and nursery.
