Chewing Gum on Trains

When persons travel, why do they
chew more gum than at home? Docs
the excessive consumption arise from
desire to get in training for the
proverbial railway sandwich? Or To
match the click of the wheels as they
pass from rail to rail? Or is 1T merely
from desire to be busy?
Mr.. Mackenzie, who superinteuds
the gum machines 10 Santa Fe system
waiting rooms, declines to go back of
the returns and philosophizs. He is
willing to say, however, that gum is
popular article 10 the Southwest. 1t
keeps him busy supplying the demand
at the 400 stations served. The net
yearly revenue is tidy sum. He
estimates that in 1904 approximately
l,150, 900 pennies were dropped into
these slot machines by travellers who
craved piece of favored pepsn or
tutti-frutti, and this takes no account
OF the sales made on Santa Fe trains
by Mr.. Harvey's news agents.
1t is difficult to compute the aver.
age distance Travelled by the sturdy
jaws of the gum wing passengers,
hut IL would be good start on the

tion ia this part of the country, and

MARKET LETTER.

NSOS'
Live stock receipts at Kansas City
last week.
The general cattle marked moved up little
last week, and starts out this week promising.
Gamers, veal calves and medium to common
stockers and feeders were the only kinds that
did not sell strong to some higher last week
Beef steers gained 10 to 20 cents, although top
was only S. 60. No prime steers were here
5tockers and feeders are strong today and
demand good and this condition will hold good
rule for the next two months, especially if
we have an early spring and early grass.
Cattle run today 5000, generally strong to a
shade higher. Nice light sell at $3.50 to So. fair
to good weightisr cattle si.75 to So. 40, good
heavy cattle 1928 to 5 So and fancy or prime
steers would now bring S575 to Sc. Cows and
hefers did not add materially to their price
last week, except possibly choice heifers which
sold at 81 50 to s4.75, market on she stuff was
strong, though, and best cows sold up to $3.50,
bulk of cows and medium heifers 81. rs to S435.
Buyers are trying to get cows, heifers and
butcher stuff little lower today. Veals are a
quarter lower than last week at s4r5O to Sc
oulls strong at $3.50 to 81 Is. A few fleshly
feeders went out last week at 81 65 to $3.50, but
generally feeders sold within $3.50 to $3.50,
stockers $3.50 to 81 So some plain and common
stockers arc down around So. Stock calves
ranged from s. rs to 81 80, stock cows and heif-
ers 81 to 3,
hog market took an upturn last Wednesday
and is still going up. Top price today is 1915,
market closing 10 cents higher than Saturday
and about 5 cents higher than the opening this
morning. Small receipts locally is main cause
for higher prices. Quality is very good al a
number of loads sell at top prices each day.
Mixed weight packing hogs sell at S. Is to $3.50,
weights below 200 pounds up to $500, pigs 1876
to Si.75.
Wethers and ewes made some lmproveme Mt
last week, but yearlings and lambs sold slow
and lower mort Of the time. Supplies were
small, especially of sheep, and run today is
light all around and market showing signs OF
improvement. Lambs are 10 higher today, top
SIPS, wethers S5.S5. ewes $780, all these sales
early. Full strength OF the market probably 10
or Is cents above these prices, yearlings up to
$3.50.

several cures the storekeeper here
recommended this remedy and it
completely cured me" There is no

Monday evening during the storm
He was just coming out OF Goodman

big. eighteen foot long sign on the
building dropped to the sidewalk X
with a crash. The board. Weighing
at least 800 pounds struck him
sduarely upon the head. He was
brought into the store and phySl-
clan called. 1t was then found that
little or no injury had resulted, eA-
cept a splitting headache. that lalo

A little girl was also passing the

out some distance to avoid a COLL

stepped out of the store. Ihls was
likely what saved her life, as the
board missed her by but rev

A Cheerful Sun.

The Greeley Sun which has never
turned hand nor a nickel to help
out the Greeley band, kicks because
the band played last Saturday even
ing instead of some other evening.
The Sun without any authority, ad-
vertised band concert in the
Greeley park for last Saturday after
noon.
The band boys had talked some of
getting out on the street Saturday
evening in order to stir up a little
enthusiasm for their excursion to-
day. In order to create unfavorable
sentiment against the band, the Sun
evidently changed the time to in the
afternoon.
The fact that the Sun has deli
gently refrained from making any
mention of this excursion, even re-
fusing to print the Union Pacific
advertising that has been running in
all the other county papers about the
excursion. will pretty near show the
friendship that organ has for the
finest musical organization in north
ern Colorado.
