TRAGEDY AT SONORA
Frank Sparks, Prominent Stockman,
Shot Saturday and Died
Monday Morning.

Frank Sparks, prominent
young stockman and citizen Of
Sonora, was fatally shot late
Saturday afternoon on the main
street of that place during a
quarrel.
He was shot twice, one pistol
bullet glancing his right breast,
the second piercing his abdomen
and passing through the bladder.
Coleman Whitfield, a partner of
Sparks in the cattle business. was
arrested and placed i'll Jail.
The wounded man was imme-
diately given the best medical at
tention obtainable, although very
small hopes were entertained for
his recovery. Doctors pro-
nounced him in critical condi-
ton. An operation was per-
formed Sunday morning after
which Sparks seemed to revive
and it was thought that he might
recover.
The sad news was received here
Tuesday morning that he had
died at 7 O'Clock Monday even
ing. Frank Sparks was well
known throughout this section as
an upright young man and the
tragedy Is indeed deplorable

Kansas City. Mo-, Thursday,
April 9th, 1005.-The cattle
market generally has been sensa-
tlonal this week, and Quarantine
cattle have come in for the full
measure of the advance. Prices
are 80 to Is cents higher than a
week ago. Nothing arrived in
that division here today, but
packers were keen for cattle, and
anything would have sold quick
and high. Several droyes sold at
SIS. rs to IS. 60 this week, the latter
the highest price, with one excep-
ton, since the phenomenal prices
III the summer of 1902. Medium
class cattle sold Mt $3.50 to 5 Is,
and most any kind of steers
would have brought $500 to 5.25
today. For instance, some 100
pound Arkansas steers, fed at
WEIGH, l. 4 sold at - 60 two
weeks ago. Steers of the same
lot, but 60 pounds lighter, sold at
81 90 Monday, and the seller said
they would have sold at > 25 to-
day. Bulls, cows and calves have
been scarce in Quarantine divi-
sion, range of prices, COWS and
helfers, SD 90 to 4.50; bulls, 1926
to 81; veals $500 to 600.
There is not much change in
the sheep market, lambs a little
lower. Chicago has had big sup
plies and a break in the market
this week, but the extremely
moderate run of about $1,000
head here have been taken with
out much reduction, except on
lambs, which have made up most
of the supply. Ewes and wethers
have been positively scarce, and
are firm. Top lambs bring 81. 35,
yearllngs S6.75, wethers 5000,
ewes 1915.

Management of
Brood Sows

In the selection of brood sows far
too little attention is given to choosing
those that are likely to make quiet end
easily managed dams. says the Farm
er. Nothing in live stock lines would
seem more undesirable than Il brood
sow FESTIVE and more or less cross, es.
pecially ut the time when she Is nurs.
Ing her progeny.
1t may be said that it is not possible
TO be quite sure when choosing dams
which have not yet been bred as to
whether they will be cross or other
wise. There is measure of truth in
the statement. Nevertheless, IL one Is
working from day to day with litter
of pigs, If possessed of that observa-
ton which the owner or feeder of
swine should have In order to make a
marked success of the work, he will
notice difference in the tamencsS or
wildness of the members of the same
litter. This of course Is the outcome of
disposition. When n quiet disposition
is manifested at so early an age that
disposition Is likely to remain On the
other hand, should the young SOW
show marked tendency to shyness
and nervousness these things are also
likely to characterize her as dam.
AS soon as the brood SOW with her
first litter shows any disposition to
crossncss she should be discarded
at the earliest convenient time In
addition to the element Of danger that
injury may come to the attendant
such an animal is much more likely to
destroy her young by trnmpling on
them or in some such way than sow
with the opposite disposition. 1t should
be remembered that this quality is he
redltary. Quictness. therefore, Is much
more likely to characterize young sows
bred from quiet mothers than those
bred from mothers opposite In their
disposition.

Bitten by q Pole Cat.

Johnnie Shaefer, the nine-year-
old son of Jim Schaefer, was Bit
ten twice Saturday night by a
pole cat.
The boy was i'll camp with his
father near town at the time.
The cat bit him on the breast and
thumb and when the boys cries
awakened the father, he had to
pull hard to get the horrible little
animal off of his son.
Mr.. Shaefer, who is a brother
in.law of J. |, Huffman, brought
his boy to town to Joe Chances
mad stones. The stones when
applied stuck 10 the wounded
places and the boy is getting al
right.

The Wool Trade.

American Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Wednesday, April 5.-Quite u
number of consumers have come
into the market during the past
week, and of some lines of wool
they have purchased little more
literally. They have shown an
increased interest in the situa-
ton, have made numerous inquir-
les as to what woods are obtain
able, and some of them have
taken out sample bags. Some of
them were disappointed at not
finding what they were seeking,
this being especially true with
reference to territories and me-
dunn tleeces. Pulled woods have
been the best sellers in the
market for the past two or three
weeks and some good-sized lines
have been moved. Prices are
very firm on everything, especial
ly in view of the firm situation in
London and the strength which is
being shown in the West.
The receipts of wool in Boston
this week amounted TO II $50
bales against 1856 bales last
week and ID, 1853 bales last year.
The total receipts since Janu-
airy have been 81, 1l9 bales do
mestic and 1891 bales foreign
woods, against 1870, 1872 bales do
nestle and $4,000 bales foreign
woods for the corresponding time
last year.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 1,750, 900 pounds of
domestic and S45, 600 pounds for
eign making total of 2,595, 900
pounds, against total of 2,515,-
900 pounds for the previous week,
and total of 100000 for the
corresponding week last year
The sales since January l amount
to 32, 430, 900 pounds, against co.
$4,000 for the corresponding
time last year.

Some neighbors saw the flame
coming over the roof and thought

about $4,000 due from property own

| About the hardest and most thank
less job an Astoria newspaper has
lengaged in its to convince the people
OF Astoria OF the necessity OF civic
improvement. There Is not another
lefty In Oregon or Washington wher.
there is being some effort made to
bsautify the city. Astorians are sp-
parently Indifferent or have no am
Etion or enterprise. wfhid two
weeks thousands OF people will COM
mence TO arrive from the east 10 at
tend the Lewis and Clark fair at Port
land, and as yet Astorians have done
absolutely nothing to place Astoria In
readiness 10 receive or entertain them.
One thing is certain. people who visit
Astoria from cities where civic I'M
provement is in vogue will go away
with a very poor impression of tho
city.
The public school grounds OF As
toria are a disgrace 10 modern civil
ization. There Is no grassy lawns, no
shrubbery, no trees, nothing to beau
tify the grounds or make them invit-
ing. They are simply mud fats un-
kernpt, dirty and filthy. People COM
ing from the east usually want to
know about the educational facilities.
Where is there man or woman who
would dare take an eastern visitor
TO any OF the public school grounds
in Astoria True, they compare favor
ably with the downtown districts ana |
the court house square. and even with |
many Of the tumble down shacks in |
the residence district. but they are
certainly not inviting and not much or
an inducement for intending settlers
or investors. As matter Of fact there
is rot one single object in the entire
city Of Astoria worthy OF showing 10
eastern visitors as evidence Of civic
pride.
For nearly six months the Astorian
las called the attention Of the public
