II will be remembered that some weeks
ago Mrs. Weston's body was found hang
ing over a door at her home and it was
very much decomposed.
When the old man was Informed OF this
fact he sat down In a little cobbler's shop
and began 20 weep like a child and con-
tinued to do go for an hour or more. After
this he called upon Rev. Mr.. Remick.
Medical Examiner Allison and Sergeant
Bickford and learned the full particulars
OF the sad affair. He then departed, tell
ing the sergeant he would return In
day or so. His friends are OF the opinion
that Mr.. Weston's home when he took his
departure was not all that a man could
desire and all seem TO sympathize with
him now that his wife Is laid away.
Mr.. Weston said he had been in Paw
tuoket, but that part OF his story Is
hardly believed, for he has many friends
there who must have known Of the sad
circumstances attending his wifes death.

the New England people in great national
Issues OF the past. brought forward the
present situation in regard to vital prob

and urged on his auditors the need OF
maintaining the Democratic supremacy
throughout this corner OF the country.
Among the moro poiquant passages of
his address the following most surely
show the trend OF the governors re-
marks:
These lew-made monopolies. which
have sprung up under Republican rule
and as direct result OF Republican
policies. when they attain great magni-
tude are popularity known as trusts
without serious let or hindrance these
trusts are taking 10 themselves the lions

people. with one hand they reduce the
price Of the raw materials which they
purchase, by which the farmers are es-
hand they put UP the prices OF their own
commodities, by which not only the farm,
ers are again mulcted, but also the labor
ing artisan and professional masses. At
the same time that the American people
are paying to the trusts enormous bonus
81 upon what they consume foreigners are
getting the same article at half price.
Sewing machines, agricultural imple-
ments, steel rails are sold by the self
same trusts for about one-third less
abroad than at home.
The modern policy OF the Republican
party has initiated directly against the
interests OF the people OF northern New

The Logic OF the situation is this: The

Live stock receipts at Kansas City
last week.
The cattle supply last week, incud
ing calves, was 81 900 head, and it
was better distributed through the
week than IL was the week before
Prices were strong and higher nearly
all week, but finally closed with most
of the advance lost, as more cattle
came in toward the close of the week
than were expected. The belief is
getting stronger all the time that the
market will continue TO grow better
each week, Supply today is only II
900 head, a moderate run for Monday,
aud no excessive runs are looked for
at any time now. Beef steers are
strong and active today, top price
s6.10, A few small punches sold a
S. 30 last week and one load of Show
cattle brought 81 but the latter, Of
course, cuts no figure in the general
market, Grass steers are now selling
at SO Is to $3.50, about as high as a
my time this season. Grass cows and
heifers were barely steady last week
md show some weakness today, with
nut any appreciable loss, though
Prices range from So 30 to 1925. Can.
uers are little lower than a week
ago. Veal calves strong, best ones
Sc; stock COWS and calves dull. Stock
IT'S and feeders gained early last week,

Sheep and lamb prices are strong,
and killing stuff is % cents higher
than week ago. Best lambs now sell
at s. so or more, and fat native weth-
ers 81, ewes 1885. Demand for stock
