IRISH HoUsEkEEPER TALKS.
She Tells of the Nomination of Gar
field and Harrison,

Des Mcines, Aug. FIT was the at
tentive, lnotherly old housekeeper of
the Slavery hotel, who seems to be
here and there and everywhere at
one and the same time, and who is a
record breaker on the number of beds
and cots to be put in a given space,
and whose barney makes tired men
feel that they are receiving the best in
the house-it was she who futtered
into the writing room of Perkins
headquarters on the fourth floor. Out
in the hall she had been ordering
"naygur" porters around with the i'm
perious air of Simon Legree, and she
kept the chambermaids scurrying to
and fro. In one hand she carried a
feather buster and in another was a
card upon which was written the list
of a number of rooms.
'Well, gracious alive! Don't you
ever stop minute to rest?" was said
to her.
She replied that it was not for her
to sit down; that she hadn't the time;
that she must keep on the go. She
said the fuss that was being made to
take care of the people who were
coming reminded her of the times
when she was housekeeper of the old
Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago. when
Garfield was nominated, and at the
Palmer house when Harrison was
nominated.
THAT man Garfield had a little
small back room, and no one seemed
to have paid any attention to him, "
she said Il didn't know who he was.
The house was filled with Sherman
men who carried gay umbrellas
and wore high hats. And, oh! the
Gram. men from New York We're a
fine lot of gentlemen. But when
that man Garfield was nominated
what change there was, and what
tirle we had in the house! After
he had gone back to his little room
crowd of delirious admirers went
there and grabbed him up and put
him upon on their shoulders and car
ried him to one of the large suites of
rooms up in front. We made room
there in hurry. And how the tele-
grams did pour in: Why, there were
bushels of them! And the time Har-
rison was nominated / was a Gresh-
an man. ] told the men who were

stockers and Feeders

There was no great disturbance in
the market for stockers and feeders to-
day. Considerable interest was taken
by outside buyers for the good feed
ers of stroIg weight and there was no
difficulty in selling all that could be
secured at steady to strong prices. Be
low the good. however. the market was
dull and slow and was especially bad
for the poor thin stockers lacking quail
ity. Several Ohio and Indiana men
were among the lockers and most of
the good feeders have been shipped in
that direction lately. Local traders say
it is difficult to get enough of the good
steers, but there is a surplus of the
kind that nobody wants. More or less
interest is being taken now in the
western rangers. tho as yet the feeder
kind has been shy. Later on it is ex-
pected that good many western feed
ers will be marketed, tho reports from

l.. Noble. an influential dealer from
Noble, Iowa, had a shipment of two
loads of hogs on Wednesdays market.
Fat cattle pretty we'll shipped out Of
that section. Crop prospects fine.
8. J. Huston, a prominent shipper
from Roscoe, Iowa, and one of the old
shippers to these yards, had a ship
ment of five cars of cattle and hogs on

Crop prospects very good.
Paul j. Gerdes, successful farmer
of Dumont Iowa, sold 10 head of 1860
pound steers at $3.50, and a load of
good. heavy sows at s6.40. Mr. Gerdes
was well pleased with the sales.
The better pastures in many sections
have caused owners of young cattle to
hold on to them, believing they Will be
more profitable as fat beeves in later
months, while those whose feed lots
are empty have been encouraged by the
better grass to buy a few cattle to run
a month or two and then feed.

From the west comes the report that

There is no slackening Of the demand
for thrifty feeding lambs. There are
buyers and orders for many more than
are coming and prices are holding up to
the high range noted at the start this
week, the best feeders going at $3.50
and nothing that shows desirable
weight and a condition that puts them
even in the ordinary feeder class is to
be had below $685.

CATTLE STEADY TODAY
Altho Demand Was Fair, the
Entire Market Was Without
Special Activity
HOGS WERE ABOUT STEADY
In Some Instances Light Hogs Were a
Little Stronger, But the Market Av-
eraged Weak and Entirely Unsatis-
factory-sheep Trade About I'm
changed, Except Prime Lambs.

Chicago Aug. 2.-CattIe trade was
steady. Receipts consisted largely OF
range stuff, the latter show fair quail
ity. and were in better demand than
natives. with the exception of the top
py kind of steers. The entire market,
however, was without any special ac-
tivity.
Competition for the medium to good
beeves is less keen and there are some
of the shippers who show preference
for the range steers as against medl-
UNI natives, thus giving the trade for
the latter kinds a dull tone.
There is some complaint from buy
ers relative to the poor killing quality
of some late arrivals, Il few OF the
shippers being loudest kiekers, altho
the broad demand from packers this
week indicates that they must be find
ing the rangers pretty good property
Half week supplies total $500, com
pairing with LOO week ago and B.
400 year ago.
The fact that considerable vol
ume of late supply sold steady and the
balance hardly weak to 10 cents lower
in view of the big supplies this week,
was encouraging to the statesmen. 1t
indicated that the slaughterers must
be finding fair outlet for their hold
ings, or else they would have been
more insistent on getting the bulk OF
the receipts at lower range.
Hogs.
The market was about steady with
the close of the previous day, tho some
instances were shown in which light
hogs sold little stronger, scalpers
paying 6.75 for prime lights With the
exception of choice hogs the market
was weak and entirely unsatisfactory.
Sheep.
Trade was about on the same plane,
so far as prices went, as at the prev
ious session, but there seemed to be
a little more life to the demand for
prime lambs.
Handy weight stock meets with best
favor at this time, while the heavier
weights are dull sale. The outlet for
the latter kind is smaller than usual
even for this time of the season owing
to the absence of export demand. Feed
er buyers have evidently grown weary
of paying high prices for heavy weth-
ers, as there is practically no demand
for such at present while last week
these were ready sale at better prices
than local buyers would offer

Heated Controversy Over Gaudy Fans

Kokomo. Ind, Aug. 1.-George
Wright. of New London, village west
of this city, is victim of stroke of
paralysis affecting his face, throat and
neck, which resulted from anger and
excitement aroused in church quarrel.
Wright, who is a leading member of
the Friends church in New London,
thought to add to the comforr of the
congregation by distributing fans upon
which was the picture of a child in
colors. Some of the prudish women of
the congregation objected to the way
the child was dressed, declaring the
picture was immodest. They collected
the fans and destroyed them. When
Wright heard of their action bitter
controversy arose. Wright became
greatly angered and excited, and while
in that state was stricken with para

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Liberal sales by

ing a fair general demand. The mar

Corn.
Small local receipts and continued
lack of rain in portions of Illinois, inn
parted strength to corn. Buying was
general, and offerings comparatively
light. September opened at 1875 to
491s, sold off to 40, and advanced to
49h. Receipts were 1875 cars.
The market was firm all day on
buying brought out by additional re-
ports of crop damage in Illinois, and
September closed " higher at 49A.
Oats.
Oats were firm and active on cover
ing by shorts. Improved export de-
mand was one reason for lively bid
ding. September opened at 307s to
311s, sold off to 30ss @30A. and stead
led around 3O7s @31. Receipts were
240 cars.
Provisions.
The monthly report on stocks and
provisions in Chicago showed SMALL
err amount than had been generally
expected, and for this reason the pro-
vision market was firm. The volume
of business was small.

The grades are numbered according
to the quality Of the carcass. The
finest cuts, those for which there il the
most tnsistert demand, form only a
part of the expensive loin and rib Sec
ton of the animal. The plates, shanks
and chucks contain meat coarser in
fiber and flavor, and suitable chiefly
for boiling.
All meats with the exception of the
cheapest cuts, have risen in price
within the last two months" said Mr..
Foster. This is not to be attributed
to any conspiracy of the packers, but
is due, in my opinion, to an unusually
big demand for fancy cuts. The kind
of meat that everybody seems to want
forms only 25 per cent of the carcass,
and the other Is per cent is drug on
the market. The packer and the re-
taller have virtually to make their
profits out of the % per cent and be
content with selling the rest at some
thing like cost and expense of hand
ling.
"The average wholesale price of No.
carcassesi has risen rs cents hum
bred pounds in the last six or eight
weeks. Tire second grade is so cents
a hundred higher, and the third is 81
to $1.50 hundred cheaper. Naturally,
the people who will have nothing but
the best are charged more for their
meat under these circumstances. / do
not anticipate much change in prices
for the present"
