While receipts of cattle last week
We're again remarkably light yet trade
shown very little improvemel ard
values remained very near the low
point, says the special from Clay. Rob
insou & Co., live stock commissioners.
Chica 0. The feature Of the Weeks
trade was a considerable supply Of
plain heavy steers, while only few uf
good quality we're offered aud the lat
ter held about steady. Top price for
the week for natives was $500. whic
was obtained for some choice 100 lb.
shorthorns, while bulk Of the good To
choice kinds went at 25m5O cts below
that figure. Shipping orders we're ex-
ceedingy small and it is evident that
the stern markets are pretty well
filed up with beef. The first large
number of rangers arrived on July 25.
the best of which averaged 1875 los
and went at s4.9O These we're con
signed by the Boom Cattle company
Our sales today included long string
of rangers which were rather soft and
went at l0@l5 cts. lower figures than
those which prevailed last week 10.
days sales included one load of WON
ings for n. NJ. Menzer at s4.60. while
the Metador cattle went at 81, Is aud a
long string Of the WV brand at 81 ID.
1t is evident that the range season is
now in full blast aud the market will
be well supplied from now on.
Receipts Of sheep last week were
rather large and values lost l0@l5 cts.
during the first two days while trade
in the latter part of the week held
about steady and showed strength Il
some cases. Early in the week best
western lambs went at 81 90. choice
ewes around 81 rs and good 100 lb.
Idaho wethers at $3.50. Heavy ronoh
ewes and big coarse lambs we're ex-
tremely hard to sell and went at bot
tom prices at all times. Todays mar.
ket showed strong to l5 cts. better
values in most cases and trade had a
much better tone than that which pre-
vailed last week. All classes Of feed
ing stock are extremely active and
orders are considerable in excess of
the supply 1t is probable hat feed
ing stock viii remain high throughout
the season. A good grade of light
breeding ewes sells quite readily up TO
$500 for strictly fancy sorts. MANY
dealers believe that the low point Of
the market has been passed, at least
for the present and hope to see the
trade take on a good tone. However.
there are plentiful supplies Of range
sheep in sight and it is not likely thar
any great advances will be made in the
immediate future.

IMPRISONED BARON
A TALE OF HOW LOVE LAUGHS
AT LOCKS.
Nobleman of Wealthy Hungarian
House-A Pretty Peasant Girl
How the Unhappy Lover Re q
gained His Freedom.

This story concerns a girl and n
young nobleman, the scion of a wealthy
house. 1t happened in Hungary, at
Grosswarden.
She was a pretty peasant girl, with
dancing eyes, cheeks colored by the
fresh country air, and hands redeemed
by toll in the fields.
He-he was a great man, a noble
man! And he loved her.
One evening he told her that some
one had whispered of them to his par
ents. Questioned, he had boldly All
,.swered it was true, and that he in
tended to marry the peasant girl.
Then, bidding her Goodnight" he
left, promising to returG the next eve
ming.
A week passed.
One morning early, an old man
Knocked at the cottage. In his hand he
held a letter. A cry burst from the
girl as she recognized the writing ON
the envelope, and, with breathless
haste, read: My parents have
enticed me into the castle tower. | am
"a PAASOAC Oi JhS HlSl HOOI. lAc Oid
man who brings you this is my at
tendant, or gather keeper. Heaven
knows how much longer | shall be i'm
rrisoned here! Forever, l think. For
my parents say they will not release
IDe until I promise never to see you
again. That l never will. All day l
sit thinking of you, helpless to come
to you"
With glistening eyes, the girl ques-
toned the old man. From him she
learnt that her lover had all he could
desire but freedom. He wanted for
nothing.
"Nothing!" she echoed Indignantly,
and, rushing into the cottage, left ths
CID man standing bewildered and
alone.
That night she sat late, talking with
her father. They must rescue the bar
Ion, she told him. She had thought of
"a plan which, with his help, would
release her lover from the castle.
Next morning a strange man talked
with the aged keeper of the tower.
"If at dusk tonight" he said, you
leave the baron's rooms unlocked and

the tower door, too, a thousand crowns
shall be yours. And still another
thousand if the baron escapes"
The old man gasped. Wealth, untold
wealth, doomed suddenly before him.
at shall be DONE" he quavered,
shutting into the tower.
The moon rose clear above the cas-
tie, and the loud hooting of an owl
sounded from the tower. A rumble of
wheels intermingled, ceasing abruptly.
From a bush, the same stranger who
had spoken to the old man in tha
morning advanced. The small door OF
the tower was unlocked. He entered.
A few minutes passed. Then the
door reopened and the stranger
emerged, closely followed blythe
young baron.
Hidden among the pines a rough
cart lay waiting. AS the men ap-
preached a girlish form sprang from
the horses head.
Father" she called anxiously to the
tall stranger. "have you brought him?'
'oThe baron is here" her lover an
severed, "and tomorrow you will be
the baroness
And to-day the peasant girl of Gross
warden is the wife of the young baron.

HOW RUSSIANS RECEIVED
PICTURES OF THE WAR

About 8 o'clock, the program announced, there would
be an open-air display of stereoptcon pictures of the
war. Here in the semidarknesS-for the electric arc
lamps are not too numerous and too much light would
have spoiled the effect of the pictures-stood a crowd of
favorable for the free display of whatever feeling swayed
the crowd. A lecturer with stentorian voice explained
each picture as it was thrown upon the screen. The
crowd applauded freely, and was as often silent. The
first picture shown was the most popular. 1t was the
portrait of Admiral Makaroff, who lost his life when his
flagship was blown up at the very beginning of the war.
He was instantly recognized and loudly cheered. There
was considerable cheering for Verestchagin, the painter,
who persisted with Makaroff. When the portrait of Line
witch was shown there was a faint, half-subdued murmer
of applause. 1t was followed by the portrait of General
Kuropatkin. There was not a single cheer. A boy near
me whistled. But no other sound broke the silence. The
crowd looked at their general with icy stiffness. The
hero of so many mastery retreats excited no enthus'
iasm,, evoked no gratitude. Then followed some pictures
of incidents of the war which were followed with keen
interest, but which ELECTED little remark. The lecturer
made one observation, in the course of his explanations.
After describing the heroism of the Russian soldiers,
which, indeed, cannot be too highly praised, he assured
his hearers that IF the Japanese had not been in such a
hurry to make peace General Linevitch and his men
would have given them a tremendous t%hrashing.' The
crowd received this gloss upon the peace negotiations
with stolid indifference. Possibly this may come to be
accepted as the popular legend. 1t is near enough the
belief of many well informed persons to have a chance of
general currency.-W. T. Stead, in the Review of Re
views.

Because he failed to comply with

The interest of a foreign wholesale
house, was arrested this morning and
taken before Police Judge Crawford,
where he was fined SIS. Eldred seem
ed indignant when told ne would have
to pay the fine, but when the ordin-
ance was read to him, he paid up and
was discharged.
The police are strictly enforcing
the provisions of the ordinance re-
quiring peddlers to pay a license, as 1t
is the only way in which the local
merchants can be protected. If it
were not for the ordinance, the city
would be overrun with peddlers and
imposters, underselling the local mer-
chants. 10
