Lieutenant Anderson Promoted

Lieutenant Anderson Promoted
The Richmond Evening Journal :;
Attorney General Andersen is In
receipt CT a letter announcing that
his sun, Lieutenant w. A. An
derson, of the United States Army,
has just passed his examinations
for promotion to a first lieutenancY.
The young officer is now sta
toned at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, and is liable to remain there
for some months to come. His pro-
motion puts him ahead of about
500 other young men who started
in on military life about the same
time that young Anderson did, or,
at least, had the same opportunities
for advancement.
The Attorney Generals son,
however, is soldier of exceptional
mental attainments, as he Is a
hard student, and moreover, is
blessed with fine mind. In June,
1894, he graduated second In a
large class at West Point and led
all the cadets in mathematics and
Spanish. His high standing, Of
course, made him one of FIVE "star
men," and also gave him an assign
ment in the engineering branch OF
the service, which is the highest
of all.
Lieutenant Anderson has just
completed a years study in the
War College at Washington, and
is likely to be assigned as an in
structor there a little later on. His
father is naturally very proud OF
the sons record, but the Attorney
General says that other Virginians
are also making fine records at
West Point.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Denver Union Stock Yards. Aug
ust I All markets reported firm
er tone this morning and the indi-
cations are for very good trading
this week. Chicago had $4,000
head of cattle on sale and prices
dime higher, while other eastern
markets had "A very good run and
prices quoted about steady. The
receipts here We're light and With
a good demand for all good cat
tie prices ruled stronger than
Saturdays close. The receipts
last week were fair but not
heavy. There was some improve
meut in the demand for good cat
tie over the preceding week and
the market closed stronger on the
best grades. There is still too
many green and unfinished cattle
coming to this market, the demand
for which is very light, and they
are hard to sell even at the low
prices prevailing. Choice beef
steers and cows were scarce and
the demand good, with prices a
little stronger than a week ago.
Good grass steers sold up to $4.25
with the bulk of the business
around $3.50 to $40. Cows
fair to good quality made up the
bulk of the offerings. Best sold
at $500 to S3.25, but very few on
sale good enough to bring these
prices. Most of the fair to good
grades sold at $3.50 to $500 with
common stuff from that down.
The feeder outlook is becoming
better every day. The supply was
light last week but there was
very noticeable improvement in the
demand at all points, and the few
offered sold readily at prices lit
tie stronger than week before.
A big corn crop is practically as
sured and feeder buyers are be-
coming more in evidence every
day. All indications point to the
best trade in feeders on this mar
ket this fall we have ever had. with
prices right around last years
level.

He was lank, cadaverous, long and lean,
And he looked as though it were many a day,
Since solo hand had come his way
But he tried to frog.
He fingered his checks reds, blues and whites,
As he'd eagerly done for many nights,
And he said to himself as he skinned his hand
Here's game l thoroughly understand"
And he tried to frog.
But lie didn't connect. for his hand was slim
And the other two dumped It into him,
And he used cuss words till the air got blue
For all he could count was twenty two"

The last deal came, and he made stand.
Yet he hadn't frog card in his hand
And he fell in fit and cried, by heavens.
