tonight the County Committee will SET
them aside.
Former Congressman Thomas McEw-
an is supposed to have considerable in
fluence with Mayor Pagan, and his
many friends are urging him to use some
of it to help land them in jobs they have
their eyes on. There is no question that
Mr.. McEwan rendered valuable service
for the Faganites in the last campaign,
but he will find that his influence is not
considered strong enough to secure ap-

Pagan has all he can do to keep prom

he will consider himself lucky man.

They are glad they have cut loose from
the City Hall bunch, who are classed
as the most ungratefuI and most insin-

Lancaster, Pa, Feb. 6.--Three chill
dren were drowned at BrownstoWn'
this county. The finding Of hole IN
the ice in Wenger's dam, on the Con-
estoga creek, led to the discovery OF

on the sled when the ice broke oe-
meath them, precipItating all three into
/ the water.
Children who went to the coasunl

Denver Cattle Market.

'--~--
Denver Union Stock Yards, August
2l-The receipts here this morning
were light. Quality WAS very good
and the demand was fair but unfav-
orablc advices from the eastern mar
kets made trading slow and prices
are little lower than last weeks
close. The trade last week was
u little uneaven and hard to get a
line on. Early In the week the mar
ket WAS active and steady and prices
paid here were higher than those at
the river. Later the heavy run, to-
gether with unfuvorable reports from
the east, had demoralizing effect
on the situation here and prices took
y drop. Best fat steers were very
nearly steady at the close but COM
mon stuff and cows were right around
a quarter lower. Bulls sold about
steady throughout the week, and
veals were strong to dime higher
than the proceeding week. Feekers
and stockers were about quarter
lower in sympathy with lower mar
kets east. The demand all week was
good for good cattle. There was too
many of the common and inferior
kinds on the market however, which
was the direct cause of the decline.
Choice grass steers sold Mt 1916 to
400 with the bulk of the business at
tA25 to 1855. Best COWS sold up to
$500 with most of the sales around
$225 to t2.85 and common stuff from
S225down. Bulls sold at 81 80 to $500
and veal calver around 1916 to $4.25.
Feeders sold up to $3.50 but it took
good ones to reach this price. Fair
to good grades sold at $2-75 to 1925
with common steers down to $500.
The feeder market was somewhat
ofa disappointment. There was n
fair demand but buyers were not as
numerous as expected, and many cat
tie that should have gone to the feed
lotSwere forced onto the killers. 1t
Is still very hot in the east Cattle
do not do well and feeder buyers are
not ready to stock up yet.
Our market here Is In as good shape
AS any Of them and prices last week
We're relatively higher than at the
Missouri river markets. Cows bought
here at $3.50 sold after being shipped
east at $2.l5, while several punches
of young steers on which the owner
refused fair bid were sold for the
same money after being forwarded.
