we had dismissed the whole matter. But
that night as we sat at the supper table
the door bell rang, and as the servant
opened the door we heard the wldowers
voice. He didn't take time to say good
evening, but, as he entered the hall
where wife and 1 had gone to meet him,
he exclaimed:
She's cheat! a perfect swindle!"
why, what's the matter?" asked my
wife.
"Encugh's the matter, madam. BY the
time we reached the depot this morning
that woman would hardly speak to me.
And after we got on the car she looked
as cold as an iceberg, and the further we
went the colder she got And when we

It was in 1866, a gentleman was living
in this city who had on hand quite lot

had quieted down, and he could safely put
it on the market. He made arrangements
to ship it. deciding that on a set day the

folk, as he was determined his cotton
should not get out of his sight.
There was very sick Yankee in the
city, in whom our people took much in
terest, and the gentleman who owned the
cotton, whom l will name Bill Dew"
had given him great deal of attention,
even taking his wife to the sick man
room that she might, with her womanly
gentleness and sympathy, smooth the Pill
low upon which lay his fevered head.
One of the last things which Bill dld pc

his wife around to the sick man room
to look after his comfort. he was gone
about a week, sold his cotton Tor big
money and telegraphed his wife that he

could hardly stay in the house, because
of her anxiety, and could not pass the

the train would arrive.
At last the whistle blew and she took
her position on the front porch watching

every moment to hear his footsteps.
Now, about Bill. When he came down
the street he met a gentleman who in
sisted that they should go UP into a

Colby Mans Neck Under Wheels OF
Heavily Loaded Wagon.
Dan Showalter, a young man of
Colby, who last week fell from a wagon
loaded with salt, the wheels OF which
passed directly over the cirvical vertebrate,
breaking his neck, is alive in Christs
hospital, Topeka. He was operated
upon by Dr.. McCIintlock, and it is
thought by the hospital physicians that
young Showalter has a good chance to
recover, although at present his lower
limbs are Paralysed. But paralysis by
violent shock OF injury often cures itself
IN time.
Accompanied by his two neighbOr
boys, Dan started out to his fathers
(Alez ShOwalter) ranch west Of Colby.
They were loaded with a thousand
pounds of salt and expected to get
there" with a balky horse. While
crossing a draw the team now hating
between two opinions, suddenly gave a
lur-h to one side, throwing ShOwalter
from the wagon, and the wheels passed
over his neck.

For the 3Sth time since the civil war,
the surviving veterans who fought in
the union army assembled at Boston
Monday, in annual encampment Be
sides the G. "A. r. there are at the en-
campment subsidiary organizations in
Guiding the National Woman's Relief
corps, the National Sons of Veterans
and other organizations. One of the
striking features of the day was the
reception by Governor Bates to a party
of distinguished sOutherners, all ex-
confederate officers who are attending
the encampment. Recitations, speech
es and banquets are the order Of the day,
and the soldiers of the greatest war in
history are gathered together in Boston.
Between blue and gray there seems to
be no discrimination. Colonel Chas.

CONVENTION SATURDAY.

Democrats to Rally and Put Up Strong
Ticket.
The ghost viii walk in the demo
cratic camp Saturday. There won't be
any barrel to open nor wet goods on
tap, but the boys who have stood for
the old party and fought its battles
with the courage Of hardy soldiers are
still intoxicated with old time zeal and
with the prospect Of a bloodless victory.
The convention will meet at eleven
O'Clock in the forenoon and make prep
aration for the real work in the after
noon. Nominees for all of the county
Offices will be chosen, and above the
friendly contest of the candidates,
there promises be heard the round big
note of harmony.
All over the country conditions have
so been brought about that a demo-
cratic victory would not surprise even
the opponents of the party. The re
Publicans have a feeling that they are
on sinking sand, and a vigorous cam
paign in Sherman county will logically
result in sweeping the republican off
the board. The democratic party of
Sherman county is possessed of ex-
ceptiOnal material for the Offices to be
filed, and after the convention no IN
certain campaign viii be waged.

MARKET IN BAD WAY.
Great instability OF Prices at Kansa
City Caused by Strike.


Great Instability OF Prices at Kansas
City Caused by Strike.
Kansas City, Tuesday, August To-
Unexpected light receipts OF cattle this
week put a different face on the mar
ket, as compared with a week ago.
The big break in beef steers last week,
ranging from 40 to 20 cents, checked
receipts, and the market on steers be-
gan to improve Friday and has been
irregularly stronger every day since,
and are now Is to 20 cents higher than
low time last week. Top prices this
week, $50 today and $500 yesterday.
Grass finished steers range from 1915
to S4.65. Cows, heifers and butcher
cattle held about steady during the
week, and prices are frmer this week,
best heifers selling at $500 to $4.65,
cows $50 to $500, meaty grass cows
and heifers so to $3.50, veal calves
S3.75 TO $50, but Gamers are still dull
and low. StOckers and feeders have
changed very little since a week ago.
Stockers and stock calves are very low
and a good many cattle Of this class
went out last week that looked worth
the money, stOckers at S2.75 to S3.75,
and stock calves had the wide range of
s.. 90 to $3.50, but most sales were at
$3.50 to S3.25. Feeders were more
wanted, and fair to good ones sold at
$500 to S3.75, and choice cattle of good
weights sold at $500 to S4.25. Good
corn cattle will probably sell higher,
but shippers should go slow on other
kinds.
Hog market closed last week after q
series of reverses. Yesterdays market
opened 10 to Is cents higher, and most
sales were made on this basis, but mar
ket weakened at the close. These con
ditions were exactly repeated today
and the mass of the business was done
at $500 to $50, with pigs and light
hogs at S5.25 land $3.50 Quality i
good and weights average first half o
August 211 pounds, OF 5 pounds mOr'
than month of July Shippers are be
ing advised to market their heavy hogs
but lighter grades can be held for :
couple Of weeks, when higher price
should rule on this class.
Sheep receipts were better last week
but prices closed the week 10 to Is cent
lower, most low, of course, on common
kinds. Lambs bring up to $500 To-
best, wethers S3.75 to 500, ewes $50
to s. so, feeding wethers $500 to s.. 40
feeding ewes SIPS TO $500 Affair sup

Whether or not the Goodland water
works plant viii be adorned with steel
standPipe sixteen feet in diameter and
sixty feet high, and the pumps driven
by a forty horse power gasoline engine,
to displace the present wooden tank and
steam pumps, viii depend upon the vote
for OF against the proposition to issue
bonds for the purpose of this improve
ment. The amount of the bonds pro-
posed to be voted is SO, 900, and the
election viii be held Tuesday.
This step, though an expensive one,
was thought to be necessary, as the
large wooden tank has been pronounced
unsafe, and the people have no desire
to be caught with their water supply
gone by the collapsing of the tank. The
movement to make the needed improve
ment was started some time ago, and
a petition signed by three-ffths of the
resident taxpayers of Goodland was
presented to Mayor {. E. Swarts, ask
ing that an election by proclamation be
held to place the question before the
qualified voters. Mayor Swarts there
fore made proclamation that the cleo
ton be held Tuesday, August g.
A part of the proclamation is as fol-
lows: The polls for said.city election
will be held at the usual voting places
in the several wards in said city, and
will open at O'Clock, and close at s
O'Clock p. N. of said day, to wit; Tues
day, August q, 1904. The ballot to be
voted at said election will contain the
following: For the water works bonds,
followed by the usual voting square;
and, against the water works bonds,
followed by the usual voting square.
''AlI persons who are qualified to
vote at any general election held under
the laws of the state shall be entitled to
vote at such election and such bonds
shallnOt be issued, unless upon the can
vass of the returns of said election it
shall appear that two-thirds of the
electors, voting at such election, voted
in favor of issuing said bonds
Should the people decide to make the
improvement, the bonds will be issued
in sums of not less than one hundred
dollars, and the total issue shall not ex-
coed SO, 900; and to run for a period
not to exceed ten years from the date of
issue
This is one of the municipal elections
in Kansas at which the women are not
allowed to vote. Women may vote on
a proposition to issue school bonds, and
for city and school district officers.
Investigation has been made, as to
| the standpipe and kind of power, by
members of the city council. It is
planned to erect a steel stand pipe, Is
feet III diameter and 90 feet high. Gas
Oline engines are being used with sue
ces in water works all over the country,
and should the bond proposition carry,
