AN EDITORS APPEAL.
To Brother Publishers in Behalf Of
The Lost Child Of DR.. Byers Of
SeeIeyviIIe, Ind.

If the editor of every paper in the
Uaion will republish these lines there
is no question but what DR.. S. l.. By
ers of Seeleyville, Ind, will recover his
little son who was stolen from his home
one year ago last May. DR.. Byers has
spent his entire resources in search for
his chill and unless the big hearted
members of the press come to his assist
ance his son will grow up an outlaw and
an outcast among the lowest people of
the earth. 1t is cause that should ap-
peal to everyone and no father reading
these lines can do SO without quicken
ing of the heart and a sympathetic
throb. 1t is believed that if this article
is reprinted in the newspapers it will
form an endless chain that will uncover
the lost boys concealment and return
him to his distracted parents. In doing
this the profession of journalism will be
fulfilling one of its highest destinies.
A reward of $500, awaits any informa-
ton that will lead to the boy S recovery.
No questions will be asked and if the
abductor himself would deliver the boy
to his parents he would not be molested.
The bereaved parents are heart broken
with grief and want only their child. If
each journal will reprint these lines,
they will travel to every exchange table
in the United States and bring back TO
a wretched home a child who is now no
doubt suffering with cold, unfed and
wretched to n degree. Think of what
your own feelings would be under SINH
lar circumstances! This appeal is in
dicted originally by publisher who
saw DR.. Byers only once, has no per-
sonal interest in his quest other than
the bond of sympathy that makes the
world akin, and is inspired from the
belief that the lost boy can only be
found through the united effort of the
country press of which he is proud to
be a member. His recovery will be a
triumph in advertising and no editor
whose heart is placed right will refuse
this appeal. Remember, it may be
your child next.
The following is description of the
lost boy:

TOO MANY BEEF STEERS.
All Markets 0yersuppIied Last
Week and Prices Lower...CoWs
Scarce and Hieher...Feeders and
StOckers Steady.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, March
25-Receipts of cattle here last week
We're fair but by no means heavy. AS
was the case at all markets, bulk of the
supply consisted of beef steers. The
demand was very fair but it was case
of too many here. Prices declined at
all points and beef steers here are 10 to
% scents lower than the proceeding
week. Choice steers sold at $3.50 with
most of the business at "a 90 to s4.75.
Cows were in good demand but supply
was light. Choice killing cows closed
strong to a dime higher but common
cows continue weak as demand is only
fair One bunch of good cows sold dur
ing the week at $500, which was the
best sale reported, and bulk of the bet
ter killing grades went at So. 90 and up.
Bulls were in good demand but supply
VeaIs..arc hardly as strong as week
ago although demand is still good and
tops sold at S6.75. Feeder and stocker
supply was light and market quiet.
Demand was very good for the better
kinds but medium and inferior stuff is
as dull as ever. Good steers closed
strong with common kinds weak. Con-
ditions in the feeder and stocker divis-
ions remain on the whole about the
same as a week ago.
Supply of cattle today was about l4OO
head, good quality. Eastern markets
were all lower and trade was slow here
in consequence, but very little change
in values. Beef steers are hardly as
firm as last week bnt cows sold well at
strong prices. Feedeas and stockers
unchanged

A Peach Story.
w. n. FULTON.

Peaches that sell for so cts. each are
now to be had. They come from So.
Africa and are grown in the Draken-
burg Mountains, where lots of the
fighting occurred during the Boer war.
They are handsome in appearance and
according to experts are of very fire
quality. The manager of one of these
stores said that they could sell all they
got without any trouble. The peaches
are shipped to London from So. Africa.
Each peach is carefully packed so as rot
to be bruised in transit. 1t takes about
four weeks to get them here from the
orchards where they are raised. This
district is said to be one of the best for
fruit growing in the world.
IF We could only say that these Were
English hothouse grown we could get 81
apiece for them and then would not
have sufficient to supply the demand,
was another statement of the dealer.

Called In.

The Orpheum Stars, the company tha
was to have played here for the benefit
of the lecture course fund, was called
in by the management on last Tuesday
Telluride beng their last stop.
The trouble arising from the necessi,
ty of re-arranging dates, probably had
a great deal to do with this action as
the recent snow storms in the noun
tains had held the company for many
days in Durango. A good advance sale
at this place was returned to the pur-
chasers and if the company had made
the date the defunct fund Of the lecture
course would probably have been made
up.
