1t is with sadness that we take
up our pen to again record the
passing away of another one of our
number.
She was so young to die, with
everything before her to make life
happy; pleasant home; a kind
husband. and two dear little child
rem. Olive Shoesmith was born at
North Branch and at the time of
her death was twenty four years
aud twenty-one days old. She was
married to Mr.. Ernest Hawley some
five years ago; and two children
were born to them. boy, who is
now three years old; and girl,
one year old; who are left in tender
infancy without mothers watch
full and loving care. Mrs. Hawley
died, of typhoid fever, at Guthrie
Center on October 8, 1906; her funer-
al was held at North Branch, in the
Bowman Chapel, two days later;
Rev. Dove preached the funeral
serman; and large concourse OF
people followed the remains to the
little churchyard on the hill where
all that was mortal of this dear one
was laid to rest. Great sympathy
is felt for the young husband who
ia thus parted, by the hand of death,
from her who is more to him than
all others upon earth; and the ten
der children who are too young to
realize the loss they have sustained;
and for the aged father, Uncle
James Shoesmith; who bent with
an agonized heart over the bier of
his youngest born, his baby as we
have heard him call her; and for
the brothers and the one sister
whose hearts are stricken by the
death of collie" So much sympa-
thy was felt for the bereft ones that
nearly all the friends were in tears.
The light of her young life has
gone from this world to rise again,
as we believe, in that fairer land
where lies the beautiful city of rest

NO MORE BAD EGGS
A Few Points For Grocers To Think
About. To Sell Bad Eggs Is A
Violation Of Law

The pure food commission has
decided that bad eggs are viola
ton of the pure food laws, and that
consumers have protection against
all such purchases. If your grocer
sells you stale eggs you can have
him arrested, and he has recourse
to the parties who sold him the
eggs. If you get a bad egg you can
demand good one for it.

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. December 1.-Actve demand
by cash buyers for wheat for December
delivery caused firmness today in that OPP
ton, but selling by commission houses
caused an easy feeling in the future de-
lveries. At the close May was off one
quarter Corn was down lsaA. Oats were
a shade lower. Provisions were to 10

The urgent demand for the December op-
ton was the feature of trading In the
wheat pit. Because of the small amount
offered for sale the price of that delivery
was at premium all day Deliveries to-
day were the heaviest for several years,
the total amount aggregating 4.ooooV
bushels. The greater portion of the grain
was put out by large elevator concerns ana
most of it was taken by prominent COM
mission houses When it became known
that nearly all of the wheat had been
taken by leading houses rumors of big
deal in the local market were revived. rms

day was quite favorable to the bears. the
receipts in the northwest being in excess
of those last year, primary receipts being
larger and cables a trifle easier. The mar
ket closed irregular. December being firm.

May opened shade to one-eighth higher at

LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON, December lon the stock ex-
change during the week operators were in
a confident mood, and business broadened
moderately, despite the arrangement of the
settlement, and prices finished at higher
level. The chief incentives to cheerfulness
were the steadily improving reserve of the
Bank Of England, which gained 81, $50 900,
and somewhat dispersed the fears of 7
per cent rate, and the willingness of France
to release gold, thus offsetting the ship
ments from London to Brazil. The rates
at the settlement were fairly stiff, but the
outlook for easier conditions was consid-
cred promising to induce good investment
purchases. as well as speculation in various
British securities, which gradually hardened
throughout the week. Consols appreciated
these influences to the greatest extent.
Russian bonds were again favored by Pa
riSian houses, while good support was forth
coming for Japanese bonds at a higher
level. But the feature of the foreign sec
tion was 4 smart rise in Mexican rails In
anticipation of a closer working agree ment
between the principal lines. Americans de-
veioped a reactionary tendency on rea.fza-
lions prior to the holiday, and, combined
with the stiff carry-over rates and vigorous
bear pressure 1t offset early improvements.
Missouri Kansas and Texas received much
attention here, but yielded with the rest OF
the list on selling orders, the decline being
accentuated by the dear money fears In
New York. A steadier tone prevailed to-
day. but with the approach of the opening
of Congress dealers were not inclined to
speculate largely. The final rates were a
dollar higher to a dollar lower for the week.
Money was scarce during the week ow-
ing to the settlement and month-end re-
quirements, but the floating supplies were
liberal at the week end with the release

NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The Financier
says this week:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks disclosed last week quite
an unexpectedly favorable condition, did
the statement of the previous week. The
officially reported gain in cash in that week
was much in excess of the sum which was
estimated upon the basis of the traceable
movements of money: the loss in cash last
week was as far below the estimates as had
been the gain in the week of November "a.
1t seems idle to attempt to explain the
cause for the discrepancies here noted; our
analysis deal only with the official
figures, and such conclusions as were
reached might possibly be erroneous The
