DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-An-
other heavy supply of cattle at all
points had rather disastrous effect on
prices last week and everything except
the very best grades closed lower. Re-
ceipts here were about the same as the
week before. Quality was very good
on the average and the demand for the
good kinds was strong, but common
grades were slow and rather dull. The
unfavorable reports received from
eastern points from day to day made
the market here rather slow, but n
clearance was made daily. Good beef
steers We're scarce, but there was
plenty of the half-fat kinds offered.
Packers are wanting some choice light
weight steers of good flesh and quality.
Best grades held up well during the
week, but common stuff is off Is to 20
cents. Cows were plentiful and some
choice stuff on hand. Demand was
very good for COWS, but the medium to
common stuff sold slowly. Good cows
are steady to dime lower than a week
ago, with the other grades Is to 25
cents down. Bulls were strong and in
good demand all week. The supply of
veal calves was liberal and prices gen.
orally weak. Demand only fairly good.
was liberal and the quality very good
on the average. Reports of lower mar
kets east from day to day made the
trade here rather dull and slow at
times, but there was a good demand
for all good steers and all offerings
sold. The good grades sold best and
steers good enough to bring s3.25 and
better are no more than dime lower
than week ago, but common stuff is
off Is to 25 cents.
The supply of hogs was liberal, but
as there is good demand all sold out
readily at prices fully as good as those
paid at Missouri river markets; $4.90
now represents about top here, which
is dime lower than week ago.
Receipts of sheep were over $4,000
head during the past week. The de-
mand continues very good and all Of
ferings were taken readily. Eastern
markets are reported weak to little
lower. but there is very little material

HISTORIC RELIC OF INTEREST.
Chair Said to Have Been Used by
Fugitive Regicide Judges.

In the possession of the Rev. A. N
Somers of Sharon, Mass. is an old
chair, said to have been used by the
regicide judges. Goffe and Whaley,

while they were in hiding here from

The chair was used by them while
they were in hiding in the house of
the Rev. John Russell in Hadley, after
leaving the hiding place in the cave
in Connecticut. 1t formerly had rock
ers on it, which it is said were worn
off during the fourteen years of con-

DISABLED BY BLOW FROM rEeR.
Boys Disastrous Attempt to Capture
Usually Timid Animal

Frank Miner. young man living
on the River road, had an exciting ex-
perience with deer on a recent
Sunday afternoon and is convinced
that they are not the timid animals
he has always thought they were.
Miner was rowing in a skiff when
he saw a deer start to swim the river,
heading toward the North Lyme
shore. Miner bent to his oars, over
took the animal and running his boat
up alongside reached over and seized
the deer by the head He lifted the
head of the creature upon the gun
vale of the boat and was trying to
decide what to do with his prize
when the deer settled the question
for him.
Suddenly it shot one of its forefeet
up out of the water and the hoof
struck him a blow on the forehead,
knocking the boy backward into the
boat and compelling him to release
his hold of the deer's head.
When young Miner recovered him
self the animal was several rods away
and he hadn't any further desire to
capture it.-Deep River correspond

OHIO DEMOCRATIC
Elect Governor and Majority Of Both
Houses,

Columbus, O.-That John NJ. Patti
son has been elected governor for the
next three years by n plurality run
ming well above 10000 is settled, as
also is the Democratic working ma
jority in both houses of the Legisla-
ture, but there is still some uncer
tainty as to the remainder of the state
ticket.
The earlier returns were apparently
from sections favorable to Governor
Herrick, for he held n lead over the
rest of his ticket until to-day, when
fuller returns from the country dis
tricts cut into the vote severely, and
by the middle of the afternoon he
seemed to be over 10000 votes behind
his ticket If that difference stands,
the victory of these other officers will
depend on the size of Pattison's plu-
rality. with the chances in favor of The
choice of the entire Democratic list.
Chairman CARRIER tonight figured
pluralities for Pattison that aggre-
gated close to $4,000, in which even.
the entire Democratic ticket was safe.
The Republicans have given out no
later estimates since that concerning
the election of Pattison by 10000 plu.
rality, but later reports received at
headquarters indicate that larger
figure is correct.
The state officers and legislators
chosen yesterday will serve three
years instead of two as heretofore,
the constitutional amendment for BIZ
ennial elections providing that the
terms of officials elected at this time
shall expire January !, 1909, at which
time the state officers and legislators
chosen in November. 1908. will as
sumo office. The Legislature chosen in
1905 will choose a United States sena.
tor in succession to Senator Foraker.
For some time there was confusion on
this point, and 1t was widely but in
correctly asserted that the Legislature
just chosen would name Foraker's S
successor.
Republican estimates tonight give
the Democrats two to five majority in
the next Senate and from ten to fifteen
in the House and these are probably
the minimum estimates. The Demo.
cratic claim is majority of five In
the Senate and twenty-seven in the
House.

ROOSEVELT TEMPLE.

.Washington.-The tribute paid to
President Roosevelt in Londan in con-

gestion emanating from ]. Selwin TAFT,

perpetuated by the erection in the

The author of this project feels
that there will be no difficulty in

sufficient to erect a structure in every
respect worthy of the triumph Ut

there be erected a building of heroic
proportions. 10 be used for conventions

emblematic of peace and perhaps
symbolic of the success of President
Roosevelt in tightening the bonds Of

Chicago.-Ten deaths from injuries
received on the gridiron-the football

that the number of casualties viii
eclipse that of 1902, when fifteen vic

Three players were killed the week
before last, while three more died last
week from injuries received earlier in

One or two severe gashes was found
on his head and it is believed the man

night. A letter was found in Rey-

was chief of the fire department at

the remains sent there.
