Property Of United States Tele-
phone and Telegraph Com
pany Sold at Auction
BRINGS THE SUM OF $4,000
Thomas cascaden, Representing Syn
dictate of Waterloo Men, is Purchaser
Sale Of the System Ends Troubles
of the Concern Which Organized the
Bubble.

Waterloo, April 21--E'ifteen minutes
lafter Horace Poole, acting as auction
eer, asked for the first bid on the Unit
ed States Telephone and Telegraph
iCpmpany'a property yesterday, the
property had been knocked down to
Thomas Cascaden, representing a
syndicate of Waterloo men, for the
sum of $4,000. There were but three
reason several who had come to the
city from Minneapolis and Chicago for
the purpose Of bidding on the property
at the sale, which was called at the
court house yesterday afternoon at Q
o'clock, did not bid, and the bidders
were III. j. Minhinnick, of Sioux City,
f. d. Hermance, of Sumner, and
Thomas Cascaden. The bidding start
ed by bid Of $4,000 by Mr.. Cascaden,
and a total OF seven bids were made
and the property was knocked down to
Mr.. Cascaden at the above named
price.
The property includes all the fran
and all appurtenances Of the company
whose lines cover eleven counties in
northeastern Iowa.
Probably two hundred persons were
present at the sale. but few were
there to bid for the property. The sale
was at the order1of Judge II. T. Reed
Of the United States district court at
Dubuque and was ordered after the
affairs OF the company had gotten into
the courts. Before starting the sale,
Mr. Poole, the deputy United States
marshal. who acted as auctioneer stat
ed that the property was worth at least
the sum Of 100000, and that the court
reserved the right to reject the bids IL
they were not high enough. Whether
the bid of Mr.. Cascaden was large
enough ia considered doubtful by some.
A cash deposit of $500 had to be made
by the purchaser.
This will end the troubles of the
people who have been managing the
company on the high finance plan and
also of the numerous stockholders thru
northern Iowa, tho they will get but
little for their stock valuation under
the amount secured al the sale, as the
court has held that bonds in the sum
Of $4,000 must first be paid, leaving
little or nothing for the stockholders
The company's lines cover Black
Hawk. Grundy, Butler, Chickasaw,
Bremen, Buchanan, Franklin. Cerro
Gordo. Floyd, Benton, Tama, Marshall
and Fayette counties The sale was
held in this city because the offices of
the company are here. The capital
stock Of the company was $3.50, 900, and
there was bond issue Of $15O,0OO, of
which only $4,000 hal been paid, and
1t was the Waterloo parties sueing on
these bonds that caused the sale to
come about. The company has lines
in total of 1927 miles, and farmers
line mileage of 745 miles.

A story of Real Life,


IA very pretty little story of real
life is told by the Washington Post,
and so real is it that it will carry
many memories back to the days of
big red apples and little red school
houses.
A tidy little silver-haired woman in
black was riding toward Georgetown
in the front seat of an open car. A
handsome, blooming matron of 35 or so,
carrying a basket stuffed with good
things from the market, boarded the
car and took a seat directly behind her.
The handsome matron studied the
back of the little white -haired womsln's
head for some time and then moved
along to get side view of her face.
This apparently satisfied her, for she
began to tumble in her basket, smiling
in reniniscential way, and finally
brought out fine big, red apple, which
she polished for half a minute with her
silk gloves. Then she leaned forward
and danced the red apple in front of
the little old woman's eyes.
can apple for you, Miss 'Liz'beth, .
she said, laughingly.
The little old white-haired woman
turned about with a smile, looked for
an instant at the features of the hand
some matron, and then held up her
hands and exclaimed:
"Well, If 1t isn't my little Virginia."
Little Virginia nodded her head
up and down delightfully."-. and the
last time gave you an apple, Miss
Iiz'beth was in school in 1871
$50 it was
The old school teacher and little vir-
einia smiled at each other and three
prosperous grizzled men who were
watching them smiled also. and then
fell to talking about the way time does
slip away.

Mondays best time, 40@5G below the
highest time of this season. Butchers
stock is off at least about 20 from last

Hogs.
Increased supplies this week have
sent prices downward. Every day re-
ceipts have exceeded those of the same
day last week. until today. when the
tide turned and but 10000 We're mar
keted against 22,400 last Friday. Early
trading was brisk at advances of b@l0,
but the late market was weak.
Most of the good hogs were sold ear
ly at prices ranging from $3.50 to $555.
A bad feature of the market is that
buyers insist on taking stays rough
sows and heavy packers out of load
lots before bidding, and this rough
stuff is selling very low. Care should
be exercised in buying coarse heavy
hogs.
The heavy run this week and paucity
of demand on shipping account have
taken considerable tuck out of the
rampant bull contingent, and there Is
u confirmed impression in market
circles that prices are goins lower
Hog packing at Western points dur

that feeding has been on a liberal
scale since the recent advance, and the
average weight for April will be con-
siderably in excess of that OF a year
ago.
This weeks supply is running con-
siderably higher than packers expect
ed Last Saturday not more than $780,
900 were looked for this week, but the
four-tlay supply is in excess of 100000.
There has been sharp contraction in
shipping demand. Yesterday but 5,932,

previous week, and compared with last
year there is a shrinkage OF 5,OOO IN

Sheep.
The market was fairly active at the
recent decline in prices. Continued
large receipts have weakened the mar
ket during the week. Sheep are off 70
@35, while lambs are 20@35 lower.
Spring lambs are scarce and firm with
lively demand.

Vancouver, B. c., April 21.-At the

church here Bishop Dontenwen said
that the pope had sent message by

owing to the heated controversy for
