DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-Trade
on this market during the week just
passed was very uneven. There was
fair supply OF cattle on hand, re-
,eipts being about 5000 head. or half
rs many as came the week before.
The market was very much on the dull
order during the first few days and
prices were lower on everything. Late
trading, however, had u much better
tone and the loss OF the fore part of
the week was all regained and good
cattle closed strong to little higher
than week ago. Beef steers were in
light supply all week. The demand
was fair, but by no means heavy. as
packers were pretty well supplied and
the demand from the trade was not
large. One steer sold at $500. with
others at S4.25. and bulk of the bust
ness around $3.50 to $3.50. Cows were
In very good supply and fair demand.
but prices We're lower early in the
week on account of the general decline.
Later all of the loss was regained and
prices closed little higher. Best
cows sold at $3.10 and prices ranged
down TO S1.50 for Gamers, with bulk of
the fair to good at s2.35 to $500. Bulls
were about steady and veais also un-
changed. Feeder and stocker trade
was dull early in the week. but there
was very good demand towards the
close and prices were strong to
higher. Bulk of the weeks business
was done around $3.25 to S3.75, with
choice dehorned heavy steers up to
$500, freight paid.
Hog supply was liberal. but they
were all sold readily and more could
have been used. Prices advanced
about 10 cents during the week, topa
now selling around s5.02la to S5.05.
The sheep supply was not heavy,
but bulk of those received We're sold
here. Prices We're very satisfactory.

Panic in East River Tunnel.

New York.-Deep under the East
river Thursday n panic occurred in the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnel in which
five workmen were injured, three of
them seriously. The men thought the
river was coming in on top of them
when some scaffolding near the roof
of the tunnel at a point about 100 feet
out from the shore suddenly collapsed
without any apparent reason. A gang
of men working near the scaffolding
started on a run toward the tunnels
mouth, shouting warnings to the
diggers. who were still further out
under the river at the end OF the bor-
ing.
When the men were assured that the
tunne, had not caved in they returned
to find five of their comrades buried
under the scaffolding, two of them in
jured internally and another with a
fractured skull. The injured men were
taken to the hospital.

Normal Drops Athletic Contests.

Notices have been posted at The State
Normal School by the athletic commit
tee of the school and DIR. Snyder. the
president, announcing that all intercol-
legiate games and contests will be ais
continued at the school till further no.
tice. This means that the boys OF the
State Normal School will not play bas-
ketball, football or enter the track
meet with the universities and colleges
of the state.
The principal reason for this decis
ion is that less than ten per cent. of
the number of students at the school
are boys and that it required too much
ftheir time from studies to enter out
side athletics, This rule does not pro-
hibit contestants in any athletic sports
between the classes of the school.

NET MARTyRDOM IN TIBET

A. Walsh. diocesan director of the So

of this city. that one of the society's
missionaries had been put to death in
Tibet. has been received, says the Bos-
ton Globe.
The victim was Rev. Father Soulie,
who originally came from Rodez,
France, and was just closing score OF
years service in Tibet, whittier he
went in 1885.
The details of his death come from
lama of Yaregong, who was a friend
of the deceased missionary. On the
day of the massacre troop of lamas
of Bathong had been running amuck in
the territory, and, among other out
RACES had captured about sixty sol.
diers who were stationed at three viii
lagos close together. The lamas ar
rived at Father Soulies mission about
sundown.
Father Soulie deemed 1t the wiser

beloved machinery clearly visible; but
natural ease and a firm belief in the
control pulled the young hostess
through and had her steadily increas-
ing influence in Sprague's favor.
To these dinners and lunches came
engineers, NJ. P.'s, peers of the realm,
heads of traction companies, writer's
for the press. Miss Rawls talked
electricity and multiple unit control
until she was popularly supposed to
be a leading authority and something
of an inventor herself OF course, her
good advantage lay in the fact that
the system she was pushing was. as
has since been proved, the best thing
of its kind yet invented. The facts
were all on her side: her task was
to get these facts a proper hearing.
For this. her clear business head, her
strong grasp on the salient points,
were the best weapons. Moreover, as
hostess. and guest she had the gift OF
rousing friendliness, and direct, al.
most selfish interest-both of which
inclined men to listen. 1t was, after
all. fairly simple"

HEALTHY CHILDREN.

Without good health life is not
worth living. Sickly, peevish chill
dren are a source of endless trouble
and anxiety to their parents, yet the
children's condition is frequently due
to their parents ignorance or thought
lessness, or both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition 1t is nec-
essary to feed them proper food and
to see that they get plenty of exer-
else and fresh air. Meat is very bad
for children. 1t should be avoided
and food rich in phosphates, such as
Pillsburys Vitos, should be given in
its place.
This food is truly the meat of the
wheat" 1t is made by the worlds
greatest millers and 1t is free from
artificial coloring or adulteration. 1t
is not especially a child's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common

was inflicted in the side of the body
and from this the doomed priest suE

The mission was ransacked, proper.
