Chicago, Oct 2s.-Cattle Supplies
are running larger than ever. Today's
receipts were $500 compared with 4.
900 last Friday. Trade was very dull
at further reductions. Sales were
made at 10 to SO from prices paid a
week ago, the decline affecting all ex-
cept prime, the worst being in med
ium cattle, although good lots show :
ed quite u falling off in prices.

were satisfied with Wednesdays big
crop of finished cattle, and hung back
yesterday in an Indifferent manner.
Good cattle We're scarce and on that
account prices were about steady, but
there was no satisfactory inquiry for

day before buyers would take hold Of
them.
Hogs,
There were about 10000 on sale to-
day, and trade was good at prices rul-
ing about 10 lower
The general quality of hogs is inn
proving all the time owing to the fact
that the new corn has so much more
nutriment in it than usual. But the
proportion of good to choice light and
medium weight butcher hogs is smaller
Just at present than it was week or
ten days ago, indicating that people
in the country are inclined to hold
such stock for better gains.

terially and lambs of best grade We're

WILL KEEP HOSPITAL OPEN.
Trustees viii Not Allow Institution at
Webster City to be Closed.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City. Oct. 2s.-All clubs, So
cieties and individuals who have do
mated articles of furniture to Mercy
hospital in this city have been notified
that the Institution will be immediately
closed by the Methodist conference and
to notify the hospital superintendent
what their intentions are in regard to
the articles placed in the hospital
Rev. j. w. Lothian, the superintendent
of the hospital, was the one who noti-
fed the donors. Those who have plac-
ed furniture or other articles In the
hospital are as follows:
Six O'clock Club-Furniture for the
chdldren's ward.
Universalist Aid Society-Fu1niture
for the parlor.
Congregational Aid Society-Furni-
ture for the charity ward.
Baptist Aid Society-F'urniture for
the day room.
Masonic lodge-Furniture for private
room.
Elks-Furniture for private room.
j. W. Allington-furniture for pri-
vate room.
Derr & Hook-furniture for head
nurses room.
The above We're notified that 1t was
necessary that the Methodists be Civ
en- an answer not later than Tuesday
of this week. In every case the sup
perintendent was told that the donors
had no intention Of removing the
articles given to the institution as
long as it was used as a hospital.
From the nature of the request made
by Rev. Lothian, and the time limit
given for an answer it is evident that
the Methodist Conference will relin-
quish possession of the hospital at an
early date.
1t is learned from a reliable source
that the chances are that the hospital
will not be closed at all, not for even
one day. The trustees named in the
deed of gift are not willing that the
institution shall be closed. If the
Methodists relinquish possession be-
fore the city decides to take the hos
pital it will probably be kept open by
the trustees.

.|N|ERURBAN DECISION
Supreme Court Decides Electric
Line Can Be Assessed as
Interurban
APPEALED FROM CEDAR RAPIDS
Lower Court Held That the Cedar
Rapids and Marion Railway Was a
City Road Not Subject to Taxation
as an Interurban But Its Opinion is
Reversed.

ICES MONIES, oct. 2S.-The supreme
court has decided that the Cedar Rap
ids and Marion City railway line is an
lnterurban and must be assessed for
taxation by the state executive coun-
Gil. This is a reversal of the decision
or Judge Thompson in Linn county,
who set aside the assessment which
the executive council certified to the
supervisors of Linn county as a basis
for taxation of this property.
The court holds that the interurban
law passed in 1902 alters the status of
those lines which are operated by in
terurban companies both within and
without city limits. In most cases a
different company operates the inter-
urban end of q street railway line-as
in Des Moines. In this case the same
company operates within Cedar Rapids
and Marion, and the country town
ship between the two towns.
Section 2033-a defines an fnterur-
ban railway and as we have seen the
railway In question comes within the
definition given. Such definition is
recognized by section 2033-c and must
be accepted AS confirmatory Of the in
tention to classify all railways coming
within the definition found in section
2033-a as interurban railways. Other
wise, and accepting the argument for

township and distinctively street rail-
way as to those portions of the line
being within the limits Of the cities
ard towns named. We can not think
airy such result was intended.
The legislature was dealing with
lines of interurban railway and indeed
the definition found in the statute
agrees with the common understand
ing. Both agree that an interurban
line is one extending from within the
limits of one city or town to and within
the limits OF another city or town. And
1t is not conceivable that 1t was the
purpose Of section .2033-c to provide
that an illterurban line is not an in
tsrurban line save only from city or
town limits to city or town limits. To
say otherwise would not only involve
contradiction OF terms, but 1t would
lead to most absurd result and neith-
er Of such is to be considered as with
In the Intention of the legislature.
AS we read the statute 1t means
that as to those portions Of its line be-
ing within city and town limits a cor
poration operating an interurban rail-
way shall in respect of the operation Of
its line be held to the rights and obli-
cations of a street railway only. The
character Of the line as in interurban
railway is not changed, but it is to be
subject to the laws governing street
railways The statute simply recog-
rlizes the necessary existence Of diff
ferences in the matter Of regulation be-
tween urban and suburban districts
and this by general law, or in the case
OF the former, by municipal ordd-
nance"

Chicago, Oct. Is. - Wlheat-Wheat

been the failure of the war scare OF

counted Duluth stocks increased $780,

reaction from yesterdays war scare
which stripped the market Of most of
