Weekly Market Letter.

Butter-Following advance in cream

Eggs-More plenty, but cool weather
and continuance of meat strike hold
prices up l6c trade, 13c cash.
Potatoes Too early to buy in
quantity, gardeners making market yet
SOC trade, 25c cash, full cars ripe,
smooth sound, Ohios worth Csc bu.
Apples-I never expected live to see
SO many apples grown IN Mower county
that they could not be sold at decent
price, but it has come to pass in this
year Of 1904 that farmers are pedding
fine hand picked apples, from house to
house in Austin at 10c peck. Of course
this pra ;tically closes the local market
to dealers. I could pay 35c bushel for
fine hand picked Dutchess free from
bruises, but don't suppose growers will
bother to bring them in at that.
Transcendent crabs worth same as
Duchess, other varieties such as
Whitneys, Strawberry etc., not saleable
at any price. Plums almost unsaleable,
there are so many. Don't bring in
vegetables or fruit unless you have
them sold first, as the nearby growers

The English Veldt,

The London papers tell many. stories
about Dom Paul Kruger, most of them
familiar, but there is characteristic
one, which is new, about his visit to
England. Americans travelling In Eng
land are exasperated by the warning,
''Trespassers will be prosecuted"
which confronts one everywhere in the
rural districts Of England. On one oc-
casion during his visit Mr.. Kruger
said: 1.-THE houses in England are very
fine, but find no happiness on your
veldt. I go right away from London
and sit down under tree on the veldt
to smoke, but before 1 get two whiffs up
comes some one who says the land is
his and he does not want me there. No,
there is no freedom on your veldt."

USED ONE PEN IA YEARS,

Also Carried a Knife Eighteen Years
and Pencil Five Years.
The constant use OF pen point for
fourteen years, penknife eighteen
years, an ordinary indeliGle lead pencil
Ave years and a key ring ninste2n
years to the ordinary person sounds
incredible, but such Is the case with
Carl Burba. Il clerk in the general GUS
toms Office here. ..
Mr.. Burba, who was in the drug
business at New Hope for more than
ten years, is now using constantly a
pen point he secured, second hand,
while in the drug business, and since
he has been at work for Uncle Sam he
has continued to use it, preferring it
to any other. During that time he has
worn out two penholders, but the point
is still in the prime of condition, kept
SO by the care bestowed upon tt by its
owner.
A fellow clerk was discussing the
matter Of care Of pens yesterday, when
Mr.. Burba remarked that any pen or
article Of any kind would last for years
II given the proper care. To prove his
claim he drew from his pocket knife
(which he had carried eighteen years.
The. blades gave evidence Of numerous
whettings, but not gap or break
could be seen. The knife, Mr.. Burba
said, had done a full share of work
since he had owned it, and is good for
many years yet.
After exhibiting the knife Mr. Burba
drew forth key ring bearing the date
Of 1885. 1t is souvenir Of the Louis
vile exposition, was purchased as such
by MIR. Burba during the festal occa-
sion and has since done constant sery-
ice. Mr.. Burba has a special pocket
for all these articles and they may al
ways be found there. He says he nev-
or breaks the point from a pencil, never
loans it but that he watches it closely
and sees to it that it does not get
away; never leaves the pencil, key ring
or knife lying on his desk, but replaces
them in their respective pockets when
not in use, and by such inviolate sys-
tenn and care he always has them
about him.-Louisville Courier-J Journal.

HIS LITERARY TALENT.

New York, Sept 1.-C. B. Spahr, whose mysterious disappearance from the Cunard line steamer Aurania was reported upon the arrival of that steamer at Dover, Eng, occupied tt prominent place in literary circles in this city. For many years he was associate editor of the Outlook and at the time of his disappearance he was the editor of Current Literature. He had written many books on economic subjects and had been prominently identified with university settlement work in this city.
 Among his business associates he was known as man of particularly happy disposition and with his posi- ton and success firmly established they believe it entirely out of the question that he purposely ended his life. An associate of MT Spahr on Current Literature said to-day that while MT Spahr's trip abroad was made for the benefit of his health, his condition was not at any time re- garded as serious and a recent cable gram stated that he had been greatly benefited by his vacation and was in perfect health.
 MT Spahr was born at Columbus, O., in 1860, the son of the Rev B. N. Spahr, and was graduated from Am herst college in 1881. Two years at Leipsig completed his education Tn 1886 he became associate editor of the Outlook, retaining that position until early in the present year when he be- came editor of Current Literature. He had 8 wife and five children.

EDITOR MISSING
Fell or Jumped Overheard From a Steamer Near
 Dover.

London, Sept 1.--C. B. Spahr of Kingsbridge, N. Y., editor Of two magazines of New York, either fell or jumped overheard from the steamer Prince Albert midway between Os- tend and Dover about i'll the even ing of August 30. His mysterious disappearance, recalling that of Frederick Kent Loomis, was reported on the arrival of the steamer at Do yer to the American consul, MT Pres colt, by B. w .Ordway of 1903 Dean street, Brooklyn, in whose company
 MT Spahr was making a tour of Europe for the benefit of his health. MT Spahr seemed to have been much improved by his trip, and his com panion said he never for a moment suspected that he would attempt to commit suicide. MT Spahr left be- hind him a small bag, but MT Ordway reported to MT Prescott that there was nothing of any value in it, nor any letters or papers throwing light on his sudden disappearance. MT Spahr's heavy baggage was shipped from Trieste to Liverpool some days ago for shipment to New York on the sCunard line steamer Aurania, Sep tember 6.

CONDUCTOR SHOUTED
 LADY WAS INDIGNANT

The conductor on the day run on the Baldwin street trolley is a very nervous fellow. Probably he is not wholly to blame for this. because the rush is so great to catch step with the other lines there is not moment to spare, and if the car is late explan- ations have to be made. Anyway, the smartest of the women is not able to get on or off fast enough to suit him, although some of them jump be- fore the car stops. Yesterday after noon lady alighted opposite Bridge street and performed the feat in dou- ble quick time, but the conductor did not think so and roared at her to please move quickly" in a voice that shocked everybody. The woman took the affront in a very dignified way, but it was plain to the rest of the passengers that she felt it keenIy. The conductor would make no mistake by modulating his voice somewhat and probably some patrons could strike better gait if they tried to, but the rules caution you not to move All the trouble will be removed after the road is completed and turhouts constructed, and knowing that more satisfactory service is coming folks can afford to put up with rebuf now and then. Meanwhile if things go beyond the point of endurance patrons of the road should bear in mind that the company is willing to hear from parties who feel aggrieved at the con- duct of it's employees.

HOTEL TROUBLES.
Creditors of the Connecticut Held a
 Meeting This Afternoon.

A meeting of the creditors of I1arld4 lord Pattee of the Connecticut was held to-day in the headquarters of the Business Mems association for the pur- pose of ascertaining how the affairs of the hotel stood Pierson R. Gum ming, cashier of the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting Go, was secretary. Assignee Smart addressed the. credi- tors to the effect that the hotel is on a paying basis notwithstanding that it's assets are about $4, 700 and liaIbili- ties $2S,OW. It ought to earn at least $500 a month, he said. The difficulty with the concern was that Mir Pattee assumed too much when opening it. He assured the creditors that if they agreed to let the hotel continue bust ness their claims would be fully paid in good time. The goods of the Russ win house in New Britain are held in chattel mortgage, and the goods of the Connecticut are similarly held by L. F. Haase The creditors agreed to have Mir Smart run the hotel and signed a paper to that effect
