THIS IS A JOKE

The greatest joke of the season is
the effort of the National Liquor Deal
ers' association in annual convention
in Louisville, Kentucky to placate the
w. C. I. U. by declaring in favor of
temperance and offering to co operate
with the reform forces in their work.
The humor of the situation should be
readily apparent by reference to the
following paragraph of their resolu
tions which is reprinted without com
ment:
The white ribbon movement, the
blue ribbon movement, the prohibi-
ton, and the anti saloon league move
ment were, or are, protests upon the
part of good men and women against
two of the greatest evils connected
with our tion-drunkeuness
and those saloons which are conduct
ed in a di5reputable manner, or else
in such way as to demoralize rather
than to elevate those who patroni re
them-and we. the delegates to this
convention of the wine and spirit
trade, desire to express our entire sym
pathy with the efforts that have been
put forth to exterminate the evils,
and our willingness to lend co-opera
ton and assistance.

THE DEMOCRATS are in hard
straits for gubernatorial timber for the
coming campaign unless they fall back
on their perpetual candidate, Alva
Adams. It is said that our own Ed.
Taylor has been mentioned but it is
known that Ed is after bigger game
than common old governorship and
that he has his good eye fixed on
Washington and that he would not
mind drawing the salary which now
goes to either Hogg or Brooks. As
for governor, the present executive has
given the people an administration
so clean and business like that if
nominated, as he will be, he will come
down the home stretch and under the
wire ahead of all competitors. There
is little concern among republicans as
to who may be the dem ocratic stand
ard bearer as the state is so we'll sat
listed with Mcdonald that it locks
like an easy republican victory.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, June 4.
Over IA, 600 head of cattle were re-
ceived at the local yards last week
but most of them were southerns and
natives in light supply. Demand
good for all kinds and prices closed
steady with preceding week. East
ern markets were dull however, and
lower. Packers on this market we're
good buyers as supply was not equal
to the demand. Beef steers were very
scarce and sold readily. Best brought
81 go but quality just fair and choice
steers would shave sold around H.75
to $4.s5. Cows were also in good re-
quest, bulk of better killers going at
80. 90 to SO. So with choice up to %. 90.
Bulls were steady and veals higher
with tops for the week at IS. 40. Feed
er and stocker trade very limited as
supply was light. Demand here was
good and the few offered sold at steady
prices but eastern markets report a
very light inquiry and trade dull.
Several punches of southern two-year-
olds sold at S24 to $25 per head but
few yearlings offered as they are very
scarce in the south. Demand for
southern cattle is very good on this
market. Some very choice steers were
here today and market active at strong
prices Fancy South Park hay feds
brought $500, the high price for
weeks, and bulk of the steers here sold
at "a. 80 to 81. 80. Cows we're about
dime lower on account of eastern de-
clines last week.
Reports indicate scarcity Of beef
cattle in territory tributary to this
market as most of them have been
shipped. Dealers therefore look for
an active and strong market here for
some time. The agitation against
the products of eastern packing houses
is bound to result in better demand
for home dressed meats as sanitary
conditions at the local houses are
known to be first class, and western
shippers are urged to send their cattle
this way for good returns.

The umpire called Manley out for

there was only one strike on the old
boy while his Jumps had his indicator

that it wasn't necessary to change the
decision.

a game for two years. and without any
practice with Hogart, he went behind

Boston woman of the day, was named
for president. Mrs. Smith appeared
at the convention in low-necked,
short-sleeved white dress with a fancy
sacque of pink delaine.
Quaker James Mott nominated her
for the Office, and this was more than
Quaker Susan B. Anthony could stand.

women of the country, who, Miss An
thony believed, were asking the bal
lot. She carried the day, and Mrs.

attended a second woman's meeting,
at which the speakers had such weak,
piping voices that they did not reach
beyond a few front seats. Miss An
thony got up and said: Mrs. Presi-
