CAIILE-ReceIpts OF cattle, after the
light run yesterday seemed small but in
reality there were more here than yester-
day and as many as there were on thurs
day two weeks ago
Packers evidently had need OF all the fat
cattle in sight this morning, at least, all
those that were of good quality. The re-
suit was that the market opened early and
active and there was free buying all along
the line, so much SO that the supply of
desirable stock was soon cleaned up. Prices
ranged anywhere from strong to lUc higher
than yesterday. Some very well finished
cattle weighing 1855 pounds sold at sS.l5,
which was the top price OF the day.
Cows and heifers were also in good de-
mand and the better grades sold generally
little stronger than yesterday. Cnde-
sirable kinds were not especially sought
after ard holders of such were reporting
| their sales as no more than steady.
Stockers and feeders were in quite liberal
supply for this late in the week, but there
| was a reasonable demand and everything
/ in first hands sold in good season at fully
/ steady prices.

READY TO WORK AT PANAMA
Have Been Completed
for Caring for the Army
Of Canal Dinners.

1t is welt known that the United
States government has been assem-
bling valuable plant on the lsthmus
of Panama during the past two years,
and today the entire length of the ca
nal route presents the spectacle Of a
territory ready and waiting for the
signal to begin work, says Henry Har-
rison Lewis in Harper's Weekly. Ev-
erything necessary for the efficient
care of ar army of men has been done.
In the matter of shelter there are al
most n thousand houses, including hO-
tells, cottages for married employees
and bachelor quarters. These are scat
tered along the line of the canal in
such manner that each section will
have its quota.
A practical and efficient commissary
system is now in working order. This
consists Of series of local commits
sary stores at every important labor
camp and mess houses where food ell
ther cooked or uncooked can be OBJ
tanned at cost. Food Is brought direct
from the north In refrigerator plants
installed on the commissions steamers
and Is distributed along the line of the
railway in refrigerator cars, The ho-
tells previously existing in the canal
zone have been purchased by the com
mission and added to the commissary
system.
In the matter of transportation it is
estimated that the men and material
required by the contractors will be
brought from the United States at
cost. The commission is in control
| through the Panama Railroad company
| of the vessels formerly belonging to
that corporation and also the well
equipped vessels, the Mexico and Ha-
vana, purchased from the Ward line.
In addition to the old French plant
left on the isthmus by De Lesseps
there has been purchased by the Amer
! lean government material costing ap-
proximately 100000. This m lterial
| includes In part two ocean steamships,
| CT steam shOvels, 120 locomotives,
1900 fat cars, 324 dump cars, u rapid
unloaders, % unloading plOws, ID earth
spreaders, dipper dredges, II steel
barges, 2 stone crushing plants, 5000
| tons of steel rails, 200 switch stands,
200 split switches, 125,0O0 cross ties, ID
air compressing machines, 3 cranes,
! 152 rock drills, 80 portable deep drill
! ing machines and a quantity of explo-
| siveS.
All of this material will be placed at
! the service of the contractors whose
| bids are accepted and at a price not
! exceeding the actual cost, with due re
gard for deterioration. 1t will be seen
therefore, that American contracting
firms desiring to bid on the work will
find practically an entire equipment on
the ground.

EAT WHAT YOU LIKE.

Don't Starve or Diet, But Use Mona
and Cure Your Stomach Troubles.
The average treatment of stomach
troubles consists of a rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient.
OF course it would be foolish for any
one who knows that some foods are
positively harmful and poisonous to
continue eating them, even while fol-
lowing the Mona treatment, but in
ordinary cases of stomach troubles 1T
is not necessary to starve or diet II
Mi-o-na is faithfully used-a tablet be-
fore each meal.
This scientific remedy, for the cure
of stomach troubl es, acts upon the
whole digestive system, and strength
ems the organs so that they are able to
digest any food that is eaten without
fear or distress. If you suffer from
loss of appetite, belching of gases,
sour taste in the mouth, furred tongue,
severe pains in the region of the
stomach, depression of spirits, bad
dreams, lack of energy, a stomach
cough, offensive breath, headaches,
back aches, loss of strength and
weight, you can be assured that these
troubles are all due to imperfect di-
gestiOn.
Strengthen the stomach by taking
Mona tablet before each meal,
and soon you will gain in weight,
strength will return, and your tood
will give nourishment so that the rich
red blood will carry good health to
every part of the system.
The Peoples Drug Store have SO
much confidence in the power of Milo
ma to cure stomach troubles and re-
sulting ills that they give a guaran--
tee with every so cent box to refund
the money unless it cures.

New Railroad Planned. Committees
Named and Charter Applied for.
At a mass meeting in Cairo, Ca,
there was put on foot plan to build
railroad from Albany to Quincy,
Fla. The road will traverse the cOun-
ties of Dougherty, Baker, Mitchell
and Grady in Georgia, and Gadsden
in Florida, and will pass through
Newton, Camilla, Cairo and Quincy.
A fine farming section will be open
ed up, and exceptional timber and
turpentine interests will become acceS-
sible.
The promoters of the road are men
of high standing. A committee was
appointed to select the route, and a
charter will be applied for. The road
will be between seventy-tive and 100
miles in length.

SOUTH is GROWING RICH.
Great Gains Made in the Output OF
Of Farms, Mines and Mills.


Of Farms, Mines and Mills.
The Birmingham, Ala, Advance
published in recent issue an article
on the growth of the south by Mr.
Samuel Spencer, president OF the
Southern railway.
Among other facts Mr.. Spencer
shows that the south's farmers pro-
duced two billion dollars worth of
products last year as against half a
billion in 1880. Continuing, Mr..
Spencer says:
"The value of the lumber products
increased from 500, 900, 600 in 1880 to
$3.50, 900, 900 in 1905. Notwithstanding
that the price of southern lumber has
steadily increased since 1896 to the ex
tent of at least 100 per cent, the ship
ments increased from 1887, AGA, 057 feet
during the ten months ending October
31st. 1903, to 3,076, 989, OCT feet during
the corresponding ten months of 1905,
the freight rates from the Georgia and
Mississippi yellow pine districts in
creased about Is per cent, a partial
restoration of the reduction made dur
ing the depression beginning in 1893.
THE quantity and diversity of the
southern lumber has made possible the
rapid development of the wood work
ing industry, which has been facilita-
ted by the efforts and the rates made
by the railway companies, the invest
ments in wood working plants along
the Southern railway alone amount
