DENVER MARKETS

Union Stock Yards, April 30.-The
market was very quiet last week and
conditions on the whole remain about
the same as the week before. Receipts
OF cattle were light here and at all
other markets. The demand was very
good and everything offered sold read
lily. Beef steers were very scarce and
buyers would have taken more had
they been offered. Prices note little
cnange from a week ago. Best steers
on sale brought $3.50 and others went
at $4.75, with bulk of the good killing
kinds at $4.25 and up. Cows were also
scarce and market quiet. Prices show
little change from week ago. A top
was made on some good eastern Colo
rado corn-fed cows at $4.15, with 9TH
ers at $4.10 and most of the pretty good
killing cows at $500 up. Common
COWS were dull. Bulls were weak on
account of eastern declines and quo
tations are about a quarter lower than
week ago. Veals were active and
steady. Feeder and stocker supply
was the best for several weeks. De-
mand was very good for the good
steers and prices note little change.
There was very fair country demand
and dealers also had some good orders
but they want the better kinds. Choice
light steers have the best CALL but the
heavy kinds if the quality is right are
also moving pretty well. Stock COWS
are in excellent demand and prices
about quarter higher than preceding
week.
The hog supply was N5eral and a
good many live hogs We're carried over
by packers to this week Notwithstand
ing this fact they state that they will
take all the hogs that come this way
and the demand this week will be very
fair. Prices went lower early in the
week but later all of the loss was re-
gained and quotations are about the
same as week ago with tops at $6.45.
Sheep were rather scarce and in
good demand. Ewes especially are
wanted on this market and sell to good
advantage. Lambs are also in very
good demand and prices about a quar-
ter higher than n week ago. Eastern
markets are all higher as supply has
been light.

It was slight and of brief Duration
The earthquake caused the death of
Mrs. Annie Whitaker, aged twenty-five
years. Mrs. Whitaker was at work
in the kitchen of her home on
Shotwell street, in the Mission district,
when the shock came. The chimney.
which had been left in tottering con-
dltion by the heavy quake last Wednes-
day crashed through tho roof upon the
young woman and fractured her skull.
Street cars are promised for to-mor-
row morning and electric lights will be
turned on tomorrow evening.
This was day of optimistic reports
from all sides. Conditions improv-
ing" was the happy expression from
those who have had charge of the self
imposed duties of caring for their less
fortunate fellow townsmen during the
last few days. In fact, now that the
most important duty will hereafter be
performed by the United States army,
that of distributing the food and sup
plies which have been donated most law
ishly by the people, the citizens Of San
Francisco have turned their attention
to the details of the reconstruction of
their business.
There was resumption of business to
an astonishing extent to-day, consider
ing the conditions throughout the resi-
dent section. Retail stores were
instructed to reopen and the municipal
govert has established a scale
of prices for the most important COM
modities, food, clothing, ETC., which is
even below that existing under normal
conditions. Warning was given retail
ers that any effort on their part to
charge exorbitant prices would result
in summary action by the authorities.
Gradually the national government
Is taking over the work of succoring
the homeless and foodless thousands
OF San Francisco and tomorrow the
representatives of the army will have
charge OF the gigantic task of issuing
food to all those who still remain in
the city.
This development resulted from the
meeting of the executive committee to-
day and the work will be turned over
to the quartermaster of this depart
ment, who will establish complete
system of issuing rations at all of the
fifty-eight stations throughout the city
The lack of anything like an epi
demic of disease since the disaster
that overlook San Francisco has sur
! prised even the medical men. Every
where sanitary conditions are most sat
isfactory. Probably there has been les.
sickness at the Presidio camp than an,
of the others. and this may be attrib
/ uted to the fact that the people ther,
have been sheltered, fed and directed
by the army officers.
The water problem is still serious
one. 1t was decided to-day that still
. further restrictions should be put upol
the use of the water now available
Hereafter and until the system ha
! been entirely inspected and repaire,
there is to be but one water tap" TO

Still Coming.
San Francisco.-What TO do with
the immense amount of money that has
been contributed to the relief of San
Francisco's homeless was the question
that received earnest consideration by
all those now engaged in this all-im-
portant work. So many inquiries had
come to the heads of the various de-
partments, civil and military, all ask
ing how and by whom the money 80
generously contributed would be ex-
pended, that the Associated Press was
asked to communicate to the country
at large the plan for disbursing those
funds, and the assurance that every
dollar would be put to the use for
which 1t was intended.
All expenditures will be authorized
by the finance committee of the citi-
zens and Red Cross funds. The mem
bers of this committee are representa-
tive bankers, business men and jurists
of San Francisco, and DR.. Devine OF the
National Red Cross Society. This
committee will audit all accounts and
make detailed report to the War De-
partment, where final audit and state
ment will be made.
At noon Thursday the distribution of
food to the city of San Francisco was
formally turned over to the United
States army. which will act under the
system already described Under this
system many of the abuses that have
prevailed in the giving out of supplies
~ H., ~. to
organizations, each of which has acted
independently of all others, will be dis
continued and the direction of all the
stations will be centralized in the de.
pot of the quartermaster of the army
at this post under Major Duval.
The reports from the leading hos
pitals at the Preside and at Colder
Gate park to-day showed that the
number of patients is less than yestef.
day. At the general hospital in the
Presidio there were $50 patients Thurs
day, which is 200 less than the day bo.
fore. The decrease is probably duo
to the fact that the privi-
lege of free transportation over
the railroads of any part of the
any part of the state expired at noon
Thursday, and many of the patients
who were suffering from minor in
juries and complaints left the hos
pitfalls in time to take advantage of the
generosity of the railroads.
There are now thirty hospitals in
use. all of the smaller institutions es.
tablished during the confusion of the
first few days following the fire hav'
ing been abolished and the patients re-
moved to the larger establishments.
Tuberculosis hospitals have been es.
tablished separately from the others.

Education a GIFT.

In the common schools of the United
States are now enrolled more than
76,o00, 900 children, or about one-fifth OF
the population, under nearly half mil
lion teachers. AS this education if
given to the children free it is at the
bottom. says the New York Sun. and
very truly, of the nature of charity.
The state takes them under its guar
dianship SO far as concerns their ele-
mentary instruction and besrows on
them its bounty. The state exercises Il
function in behalf of its citizens in this
matter of education of very much the
same kind as 1t employs in their sani
tary regulation, now carried to so great
an extreme of expense and of detail.
Like school instruction. this sanitary
regulation is a measure of self-protec-
ton for the state. since unsanitary con-
ditions In particular district affect in
Juriously the whole community in
which the region is situated Hospit-
ais. also. are maintained for like rea-
son, or not merely for the particular
general public health may be protect
ed. From the cradle to the grave the
poorest citizen Is looked after by the
municipal authorities. The whole ma
chinery of society is organized for his
benefit. The defective and the delin-
quent and even the vicious are looked
after without regard TO any share they
may have in paying the cost or in in
creasing 1t. The spirit of charity ex-
tends its wings over the whole COM
munity. So also the college and uni
versity may be called benevolent in
stitution, wholly or in great part The
latest statistics of the United States
bureau of education enumerates 443 OF
these. in which the students number
139,157 young men and 41,977 young
women, who contribute in tuition fees
less than one-half of the total income,
TO say nothing of the interest on the
cost of plant, appliances, etc. More
than half of the education of these
students is purely gratuitous. To that |
extent they are the recipients of char |
ity. Besides about 100000 900 of pro-
ductive funds, these institutions have |
invested in grounds and buildings, in
libraries and apparatus, nearly as
much more. Except for this endow
ment in productive funds. a gratuity
to the students. most of the institu- J
tions would have to go out of business.
Munificent gifts to these endowment |
funds have distinguished this country |
for many years past. yet there is not
now single university or college
which is not In need of more. Appli-
cations for still further benefactions
are urgently made by the Oldest and
most famous universities in the
union. These facts cast no reflection
on the pupils and students. but prove
simply that the educational advantages
these enjoy are largely of the nature
of a free gift by society or by indi-
viduals of wealth.

Hennery Phonographu.

A Stockport IN. " poultry farmer
has had great trouble of late because
his hens were not producing the proper
number of eggs. A nearby neighbor
has fine flock of hens which were
working overtime to produce eggs
While hanging over the back fence
listening to the triumphant cackle of
his neighbor's hens, says local in
formant, an idea struck the luckless
owner OF hens. He went into the house
and brought out his pnonograph, in
serted a blank record and succeeded in
getting fine imitation of the cackIing
OF the laying hens. He then installed
the phonograph in his own hen house
and started 1t going. The first day the
hens were greatly amazed, but the sec
ond day they got down to business
and ground out an egg every time the
phonograph cackled. The hens have
stopped cackling themselves, however
and when the phonograph stops they
stop laying and the originator of the
idea has TO sit in his coop all day long
to keep the phonograph going.
