county attorney Mr.. Rosewater was
greeted with genuine applause when he sp-
peared upon the rostrum and for about
three-quarters Of an hour he rolled OF
facts and facts and figures that kept his
audience highly interested. He made no
attempt at oratorical eject, but told in
plain pure English his views OF govern
mental affairs and incidentally read ex-
tracts from a conference he had in 1885
with the congressional committees having
charge Of the interstate commerce bill In
his answers to inquiries put by the sena-

Chs Resoundine Cheer.
Chicago Chronicle.

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman evoked
some criticism when he hurrahed for the
Russian Duma, but his friends excuse him
by the statement that he is an enthusiastic
friend Of Russian liberty. That may be,
but II history furnishes any precedent TO
go by Sir Henry also believes that Russia s
misfortune is Englands advantage. So long
as Russia is rent by revolt and insurrec-
ton there is no danger of the bear taking
the road to India. AS the Duma has got
Russia into a mess OF the worst kind, Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman naturally feels
that Il is an admirable body.

Marion. ILL.,, Sept. 3.-Mystery deep
ems regarding the killing of Mrs. John
NJ. Davis. who was shot Friday after
noon In broad daylight. The police are
without clew, and no motive has been
brought forward to account for the
crime The coroner's inquest has been
adjourned for a week in the hope that
further inquiry may be productive OF
results.
Mrs. Davis had been out calling and
was returning home when shot. She
was within block of her home when
she was seen to fall. Neighbors ran
to her assistance and carried her body
into the house. An examination
showed IL bullet was imbedded' in her
brain. She was unconscious up to the
time of her death last night.
No one saw or heard the shot fired.
Neither is the direction from whicA it
came known. The first intimation of
anything wrong came when Mrs. Davis
was seen to fall. So far as known the
dead woman had no enemies. The pos
sibility that she was mistaken for some
one else is not regarded as tenable.

the town and her Identity could not

stockyard Notes.

Chicago had big run Of lambs last
week, but killers wanted them. The
fore part of the week prices went off.
but later it came back. A moderate
run Is in sight for this week.
Last months average weight of cat
tie was the lightest for August since
1902 when the average was 954 lbs.
Hogs averaged the heaviest of the
year last month, in fact, as heavy as
any month in about two years, or since
September, 1904, when the average was
244 lbs.
Sheep and lambs received here last
month averaged only 79 lbs, the light
est monthly average of the year, and
the lightest August since 1901.
Last weeks average price of good
beef cattle was Csc higher than the
previous week and a year ago, being
the highest average since May 1905.
Hogs averaged 12c lower than the pre-
vious week and SIC higher than a year
ago. Sheep and lambs averaged very
little different from the previous week
and year ago.
The remarkably high prices being Sc
cured for fat sheep and lambs and the
big prices secured for wool have caused
the farmers of the middle west and the
east alike to think. judging from the
hungry and urgent call they are max
ing for breeding and feeding stock and
the large number they have taken out
thus far this year.
Prices are not on very high level
just now for Gamers and cutters. but
there does not seem any probability
that the trade will work upward very
fast for few months at least. The
supplies continue about up to requires
ments and the consumptive demand
gives small Indication of broadening
materially.
