MISSISSIPPI LAW.
There are Prospects That Traffic by
Water to st. Louis Will be Suspend
tn Timea-Ren,1hIican

ed Soon.
Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. Aug. 9.-Sandbars are fast
coming to the level of the Mississippi
river. the stage is dropping fast, and
the river men are In a constant state
of worry lest the worlds. fair traffic to
be shut off. because of the poor depth
of the Father Of Waters.
The fall in the river has been sur
prisingly slow. but. nevertheless, 1t has
been noticeable to the person who fol-
low the course of the great stream. The
poor stage was anticipated and the
long expected is now coming. Altho
the stage 3.4 is very low the prospects
are that it will go lower and reach the
three foot mark. It is unusual for the
river to go down as steadily as at the
present without a falter to mark a
change in the indications or without an
incident which would lead the observer
to look for a better condition later on.
The river as it is at the present time
is talked of from ST. Paul to st. Louis.
The many snags. sandbars. islands etc.
are making their appearance, and the
pilots are meeting with very much
trouble. Great care is being exercised
by boat owners to run the rafters and
the steamers as slowly as possible
within reasonable time for schedule.
This precaution is taken to prevent any
accidents

Staples, one OF the most prominent
physicians in Iowa, created a sensation

publican state central committee. He
charges cruel and inhuman treatment;
that his wife is addicted to the cigaret
habit and sets bad example for the
children; that she attempted to gain

loaned her brother Frank $4,000 of the
plaintiffs money on worthless note.

He arrived at Alton on Saturday
morning at 10: 80 o'clock and was there
held by the police, who said they had
word from St. Louis to arrest him.
Some one had either played joke on

minutes, having started from there On

prices failing to show any particular
strength. except for a few cattle OF the
better class. Prospects of a tie up of
New York's slaughter houses which
have furnished an outlet for both cattle
and sheep had demoralizing effect
on trade here, eastern orders being
countermanded.
1t has been frequently and forcibly
stated of late that the local slaughter
ers are finding themselves able to
slaughter hogs to fair advantage with
their green men, but they find them
selves severely handicapped when it
comes to cattle and the market has to
depend largely on the shipping ex-
port ana city butcher trade for an out
let.
Six markets reported a total of 81
600 cattle in sight yesterday, against
$4,000 last Monday and $4,000 for the
same day last year
Exporters were also in the market
for fair to good medium to strong
weights at around steady prices, but
supply was large enough that they took
their own time and We're very particu-
lar in making selections. Prices for
export grades Of steers ranged largely
at S5.25I5.75.

With diminishing receipts and strong
general demand all classes of buyers
being Well represented. prices are
advancing rapidly. jumping SOLO to-
today over yesterdays advance.
While conditions were not such as to
call for liberal run the arrival OK 26.-
900 hogs yesterday was not up to ex-
pectatton Of the trade. and the number
was 10000 less than receipts for
opening day of last week Eastern
shippers had pretty liberal buying or
ders. and started the market off In ac-
tive tone with prices strong to cents
higher than Saturday for good quality
of light and medium weight. but did
not care to take hold OF good heavy
weights at anything better than steady
prices. Packers We're slow to take hold
but when il became known that supply
would hardly reach early figures the
whole trade assumed an active tone,
with prices ruling steady to strong on
the packing quality of mixed and
heavy.
Quality Of hogs was only fair. Mixed
packing droves went slow at steady
prices early in the day. but later de-
yeloped n show of strength.
Regulation heavy packing droves
continue in disfavor with the trade
and We're slow sale at steady prices.
Light grades are daily becoming
scarcer and demand continues to rule
strong, while the trade had good tone

ping orders untitled. Last weeks aver
AGE weight of arrivals was 236 lbs, the
heaviest In several months. and as the

"Thanks giving"

One day of each year is set apart
for giving thanks unto the LORD for
blessings received from His hand our
ing the year. 1t comes late In the
fall. after all the crops have peen
gathered in and we can see how very
hountiful the harvest has been. The
farmers il seems to me, can see more
reasons for thankfulness than any
other class of people. They live so
close to nature and gather with tnelr
own hands the grain from the helds
and fruit from the trees. 1t comes

may buy, but the wage earners OF the
CITY and town live up to their income
so closely that they have but little

our bodies and also that the blessings
Of health attend, so we may enjoy
those things which are given us.

cost of not to exceed cents per yard
while it is generally considered it
costs 10 cents per yard to handle it
