OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET
Specially Reported tor thus Paper bv
Clay, Robinson & Company, Live
Stock Commission Merchants

Receipts of cattle have been quite
liberal the past week, as has been the
case at all points. There has been a
weaker feeling noticeable the entire
week and prices are generally lower
on everything. Early in the week the
good beef steers held about steady,
but prices are closing 10 and Is cents
lower, and even more in cases of unde-
sirable stock. There have not been
very many shipments of choice cattle
on the market the past few days and
at times there have been quite heavy
receipts of rather common and inferior
classes. Good to choice killing steers
sold this week at $500 and S4.25; fair
to good $3.o5 to $500. The same con-
ditions have existed in the COW market.
The extremely choice heavy fat cows
have suffered but little decline the
past week, but the common to fair and
canning kinds are Is and 20 cents
lower than the close last Saturday. 1t
would take choice cows to bring over
$3. 10 or $3.15, while the bulk of the
cows are gong at $3.50 and $40;
Gamers and cutters $1.75 and 50. 80
The fore part of the week stockers and
feeders seemed to be going right along
at steady figures, but dealers got
pretty we'll filled up by the middle of
the week, and while there were a good
many buyers around the number of
feeders received has been quite heavy.
Good to choice heavy heshy cattle sold
sold Tuesday at $3.75 and $500; fair
to- good SO. so to So. 65; Good to choice
light and medium steers S. SO to $3.75;
fair to good So. IS to $3.50.
There has been very fair run o1
sheep all week, and while conditions
early favored a weaker and lower
market, there was a marked rally the
closing days and prices are but little
different than week ago. The mid.
die of the week lambs were rather in.
different sellers but these strengthened
up and prices closed just about the
same as last Friday. Good to choic,
wethers are selling at $4. 40 and $4. 90
fair to good $4.25 to $4.4 40; good t.

AND FANCY
How Old Foxy Sleuth Ba99ed
a Bunch of Four Very
Desperate Criminals (?}

guns into wagon, COllared their dogs
and hied themselves away to the fields |
where the bumptuous game abounds |
with the intention, some
think, of slaughtering all the game in
sight--and some that was not. Two
other care free descendants of Noah
meandered out on the same day with
the same intent, supposedly, but with
more forethought and less bravado,
caused their implements of slaughter
to precede them by one day. The two
punches of sports passed the day in a
manner chosen by, and known only to
themselves, and when the shades of
evening began to gather, started on
their journey homeward, and it so hap
pened that one bunch passed the other,
whereupon the time ofday was passed.
Now il the truth be known, it was
with deep chagrin and great complain
ing of hard luck that these gay and
sportive huntsmen were returning
home, in that the game of the field and
the birds of the air had successfully
evaded their strenuous endeavors, and
their home coming was deplorably
empty handed, but each bunch thought
the other had been more successful
han they, thus causing rankerous
envy to exude, which secretion being
cont gious, was inoculated into others,
one OF the victims being he who has in
charge the game of the field and the
birds of the air in this immediate
vicinity. The effect of this disease
upon this most worthy descendant of
Ascidians was wonderful to behold.
After becoming possessed of all that
could here be impaired, the next move
was to the scene of action where the
innocent bark of prairie dog caused
the worth scion to throw sixteen fits of
uncomfortable terror IN rapid success
ion. But, undaunted by this, after
learning from whence the startling
disturbance came, the quest was pur-
sued until the "who'' of an owl sent
our hero under a bridge with such
velocity as to cause the downy covering
on his dome of thought to percolate
through the lid thereon. Here, in one
of the uppermost and darkest recesses
of obscurity the quest was pursued
with exceeding vigor until one whohad
business hereunder came along and
rescued the worthy scion and informed
him that the "who ite'' had passed
into eternity and would cause him nj
more worry, also that d certain bunCt
of hunters had been in those parts wht
ruthlessly, and with malice and fore
thought had chased all the chicken ant
sage hens so far up the creek as t.
make their capture difficult in tn
. extreme.
AT this joyous information the colo
returned TO our hero's face and hi
I eyes took on the piecing brightness O
} a conqueror. Pencil and paper wer
: pressed into service and facts jotte,

Tending criminals was confronted i

REPRESENTATIVE HOLMES, of era
tiot, has introduced bill in the House
making it illegal for the state to grant
a teacher $ certificate to anyone who is
not a citizen Of the United States. There
have been and are now far too many
persons teaching in the public schools Of
Michigan who have not taken the trouble
TO become American citizens. The state
requires that citizenship and patriotism
be taught in our public schools and then
licenses aliens TO teach. Mr.. Holmes bill
is a much needed step in the right direc-

THERE is no class of men al the present
time that pays more attention TO the
intelligent study of details than the sue
Cessful farmers. 1t is not enough TIL
they know one thing; they must know
all about the production, care, cost. food
and market value Of each crop, and the
cost of transportation This latter item
does not mean the cost of railroad trans
portation, for while that effects the pr, t
paid for the product, that rate is looked
after by the purchaser; the cost of trans.
portation that the farmer must consider is
the cost OF getting theIproduct TO market
Sometimes the market price is good bu,
