CATTLEO ON MARKET
ARE LACKING FAT
A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF RE
CEIPTS AT SOUTH OMAHA IN
CONDITION TO KILL.
Good Inquiry for Steers of All Descrip-
tons Of Good Quality for Coun-
try Demand-Expected a Better
Tone of Beef Trade After Lent and
Improvement Looked For.
Special to The Republican.

optCldl " IL istPupiiNohs
South Omaha, Neb., April 1O.-Clay,
Robinson & Co, the commission men
of this city, thus epitomize the condi-
ton of the market here at this time:
Good Stuff to Go to Grass.
The run of hay-fed cattle has been
moderate the past week. There has
been but a small percentage fat enough
for killing purposes, but there has
been good inquiry for steers of all de-
~scriptions of good quality to go to the
country again. The trade has general
ly held up strong and active and prices
are fully steady with one week ago.
Heavy ieshy steers of good quality
are quotable at $40 and s4.75; fair to
good, SAILS and $40; good to choice
light and medium weight steers, SAILS
and $3.50; fair to good, $685. and SAILS.
Demand Will Continue.
No doubt te inquiry will continue
good for such stock for at least SIX
weeks, as a good many farmers
throughout this section want some light
cattle to turn on grass. We expect to
see a better tone to the beef trade ait
er Lent and look for some improve
ment, as the supply seems to be mod
crate enough to allow of good brisk
competition. The inquiry for butcher
stock has been keen on account of the
moderate offerings, and everything de-
sirable has sold readily enough, being
quotable at $3.75 and $4.25.

Fighting Flames With Water, OPP
ponents Fought With Ballots.

by democrats to draw the attention OF
the republicans from the polls. Both
of the fires were in outbuildings of lit

Cody, Wyo., April 1O.-A profound
sensation has been created here by the
methods adopted by the county to sup
press gambling in Big Horn county,
several previous attempts having fail
ed. Three weeks ago a professional
gambler who had been working al Gar
land slid into town and spent a week
in the saloons and back rooms where
gambling was going on under cover.
Then he repaired to Meeteetse, Bur,
lington, Basin and Worland, where he
made the intimate acquaintance of all
those violating the gambling law.
Joe lefors Turns Up.
Nothing was thought of this until
Joe Lefors, the deputy United States
marshal who trapped the notorious
Tom Horn, began serving papers yes
terday morning upon thirty prominent
saloonkeepers and gamblers, and tele-
phone messages are coming in today
from all over the county that concerted
action has been taken in every town
in the county.

One hundred and fifty gamblers are
under arrest as the result of the great
coup by Lefors, who was undoubtedly
employed by the county. Those arrest
ed promptly declared that they would
serve out their fines in Jail and bank.

This does not intimidate the author

men of meal whose business would
not permit them to spend severa
months in jail. Moreover every gam

DEATHIN ASHES Of

Five Hundred Known Dead.
1t is known today that hundreds, and
some declare thousands, of men, wo-
men and children, have persisted in the
district of San Giuseppe as the result
of Vesuvius' fury. Many scenes OF des-
pair were witnessed in the homes of the
peasantry. Disaster follows disaster,
and this afternoon there are 500 known
dead.
Scientist Sticks to Post.
The top of the volcano has been blown
clear off, and torrents of ashes bury
hundreds of the Italians. The sea
around Naples today is ominously agi-
tated. The intrepid scientist, Prof. Mat
tewcci, who has stuck to his post OBJ
serving the workings of the volcano in
its most terrifying phases, returned to-
day to the observatory, and is now tele-
graphing news of the eruption to the
entire world, with streams of lava flow-
ing or all sides of the tower and show
ers of stones falling on its roof.
Menace of Another Pompeii.
All night long the populace of Naples
filled the streets, thousands of terrified
people trudging through the streets be-
hind priests, carrying banners on
which are images of the Madonna.
The laundering of Vesuvius all night
and all day is terrible. While there is
some quiet this afternoon, it is likely
that Naples will go to bed tonight, with
the menac of another Pompeii hang
ing over it.

hicles hitched to them, which makes
the climbing much more difficult.
