Mo- Cars to Move Corn.

Chicago, Dec. 2O-There is every
prospect that corn traders who are
expecting that western markets will be
swamped with corn in the immediate
future will not get the 700 to 900 cars
day necessary to move 1T. Not that
there is scarcity of corn in the coun.
try. for there is an abundance of the
and it is being sold to a fair extent in
some sections, and in others, particu-
larly in parts of Illinois, country ele-
vators are we'll filled with shelled corn
waiting cars to be shipped to terminal
markets. The car scarcity is likely to
last all winter, and while there may
be periods when railroads will be able
to get in larger number of cars, a
heavy movement Is not to be expected.
as the railroads have not the engines
to haul it in connection with their
heavy tonnage in coal and general n.er-
chandise The coal traffic promises to
last all winter, as stocks west are light
and of late coal has been put ahead OF
other freight, being on the emergency
list. Omaha dealers. as we'll as those
over a good part Of Nebraska, are buy
ing considerable corn. There is also
some corn being bought in Iowa and IL
linois, but in eastern Iowa there are re-
ports that farmers are not selling al
present prices. But with the Indifferent
demand from the east and abroad there
is enough corn being received to salts
fy it, but it does not give the shorts
any leverage to force lower range OF
values.

STRANGE STORY OF RING.
JeweIry Found in Pocket Of Cloak
Property of California Woman.

Special Il Times Repnbl.cah.
Ottumwa, Dec. 2O.-The mystery
concerning the ownership of a ring
found in the pocket of a new cloak
purchased in an Ottumwa store has
been revealed Readers will probably
remember the strange story of the
ring found in cloak at Phillips Big
Store, which was published Tuesday.
December 4. Miss Sarah Spiwak dis
covered gold band ring in the pocket
of a winter cloak which she was try
ing on. No one could tell where the
circlet came from. neither did any one
remember showing the coat previously
as it was of entirely new stock. MI
Philips took the ring to JeWeler at
the time and it was pronounced to be
of first-class quality.
Yesterday Mr.. Rimmer received
letter from his daughter, Mrs. G.
Pidduck of Needles, California. which
clears up the mystery and establishes
without a doubt her rightful owner
ship Of the jewel. Mrs. Pidduck had
been in the city at the time visiting
at the home of her parents. While
here she purchased cloak from Phil
lips store and took it home with her
on approval. Later she decided that
the cloak was too short for her and
brought it back and exchanged it for
another. AS she left the store, she
remembered that she had left hand
kerchief in the pocket of the cloak
and returned for it.
The clerk handed the garment to
Mrs. Pidduck and she obtained her
handkerchief from the pocket, at the
same time unknowingly leaving her
ring. AS Mrs. Pidduck was to return
to her home in Needles that same
day, she proceeded to pack her trunk
as soon as she reached her parents
home. Not until after the trunk was
entirely packed and strapped did she
miss her ring. At the time she
thought that it must have slipped from
her finger in the packing and decided
to wait until she reached her home be-
fore looking for it,

Representative Cattle Sales.
Below are given few Of the repre-.
sentative cattle sales:
Some Bear TAX.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-A few packers take
a bearish view Of the provision stu
alton. One of the smaller operators
puts it in this way: "The passing of
the January product from a premium
to discount under May is not good
bullish feature when stocks are
so light as they are at present. 1t looks
to me as tho the high prices for hogs
and the shortage in receipts as compar-
ed with last year is now we'll discount
ed by the recent advance in prices for
cured product. The demand for fresh
meat has fallen off, and packers are
making contract meats on a larger
scale. The buying of short clears is to
fill sales previously made for export
on the part of packers who did not
have them. At the moment there is a
prospect of a profit in buying lard and
selling short ribs

Dancing Master Says Davenport Beats
World for Iniqui.y.
Special 70 Times-Nepublican.
Clinton, Dec. 20.-Davenport is too
wicked for even a dancing master. Be
cause he cannot compete with the Sun
day night dances in Davenport without
putting a bar in his dance hall, Pro-
fessor Clendenen, who conducts as
night, will retire from the field in the
down river city. Professor Clenderen
says that Davenport is the wickedest
place In the world. And to back up
his assertion he is going to leave the
city in which he has tried for fifteen
years to conduct "A respectable dancing
hail.
At his last dancing lesson he an
nounced his intention to his pupils
of giving his farewell adult social
dance on Thursday evening, December
81. In leaving Professor Clendenen
makes a number of prophesies as to
the way Davenport will have to do in
order to stop her headlong slide to the
internal regions. He calls attention
to the fact that in such cities as Min
neapolis and st. Paul no intoxicants
are allowed to be sold in connection
with any dance hall, and says this is
only what Davenport ought to do in
order to save to decency the thous-
ands Of young people who are now
headed in the other direction.
"Ill have to put bar in my dane
ing hall or shut up shop in Daven-
port he said. II can not compete
with the Sunday night dance halls

Busy Holiday Season Responsible for
Small Attendance at Meeting.


Small Attendance at Meeting.
A fine program at the meeting of the
Marshalltown Women's Club Wednes-
day afternoon, was enjoyed by only
small attendance. During the brief
business session, the president, Mrs
George Darling, announced that the
travelling art exhibit of the General
Federation of Women's clubs, would be
in this city for four days in January,
the first day being January 16. 1t will
be shown under the auspices of the
art and music department of the club
The program Wednesday afternoon
was in charge of the history depart
ment, but Mrs. w. p James chairman,
being unable to be present. Mrs SUIT
ton took charge. A brilliant piano duet,
the overture to "Oberon' (Weber), by
Misses Isabel Mitclrem and Maybel
French, was the first number, after
which Rev. c. W. McCord read an en-
tertaining and instructive paper on
King Arthur; His Character and
Place in Literature
Rev. McCord briefly sketched the
character of Lord Tennyson, in his in
PRODUCTION, emphasizing the high SIM
plicity and clearness so manifest in
his life and writings Another point
made was that Tennyson had sought to
make prominent the relation to Chris
tfanity as that of love, rather than
duty. He related the story of the an
cient Arthurian legends, from which
Tennyson drew the noblest creation OF
his genius and the foundation of his
highest fame The speaker character
lied the "1dylls of the King as one of
the greatest poetical creations 'of the
nineteenth century, and grand, re-
ligious prose poem of marvellous power
and beauty. In addition, Rev. ,McCord
told Of the various literary ages in
England during some of which the le-
gends sank into oblivion and also
touched briefly upon their allegoric
significance, and the character elements
of King Arthur.
Mrs. Jennie Williams, who by re-
quest gave historical sketch and solo,
furnished another treat Her sketch
was of the early days in Marshalltown,
dating back to 1862. and concerned par
ticularly. the celebration of Thanks
giving day. by a bountiful dinner given
by Mr.. and Mrs. William Battin, which
was the event of the year. She said
that all belonged to one club then, that
of sociality. On the morning of that
day. union service was conducted by
Rev. Delos, then the local Presbyter-
ian minister, who started the move
ment for the present church building
here. At that service. Mrs. Williams
sang the sweet old hymn. Rock Of
Ages" altho to tune Unfamiliar to
many now, which she sang in an effec-
tive manner before the women's Club Of
1906.

did not have any urgency, tho sellers
were quoting the market steady. Reg
ulars We're rather Indifferent to offer

for lack of supplies this week. The

could find many. They were supplied

in better demand than steers. and sold
strong on top prices.
Hogs.
Buyers We're not disposed to pay yes
terdays prices but were bidding az 05
lower than Wednesdays quotations.
Packers especially were reluctant to
come into the market, and their bids
averaged full 3 lower. Early buying
by scalpers was only shade under
yesterdays levels.
Since the low spot of last week.
when regulars had their lid firmly
clamped on, the market has made
steady gains, the average appreciation
being 25c. 1t is not. however. a safe
market on which to buy hogs at &c
in the country. In Illinois, $5.75 q
$50, and west of the Mississippi river.
$5.60@5.75, is about the limit, as reg
ulars will resume their bear campaign
whenever they get an opening.
Expectation Is for a light run until
after the holidays. as the country Is
reluctant to leave home at that period.
Fresh meat demand Is good, all kill
ers are short, and until lot more
hogs show up, present prices are not
likely to be seriously disturbed.
Sheep.
Demand was not active, but as re-
ceipts were light it did not look as tho
sellers would be compelled to make any
great sacrifices. Indications pointed to
a steady market.

Livestock Business in Portions
of Wyoming Threatened
With Destruction
RANcHERs TO EMPLOY sLEuTHs
Propose to Make RustIins so Danger
Gus That Few Will Be Inclined to
Engage in lt-severaI Arrests Made
in the Past Few Months, and More
Will Follow.

Cora. Wyo., Dec. 20-The live stock
industry in this section of Wyoming is
confronted by situation which prob
ably has not been equaled In the state
since the early days of cattle raising.
in that the principal losses of live stock
are due. not to disease or predatory
wild animals. but to rustlers. So bold
have the thieves become that the
stockmen are considering a proposition
to withdraw all private bounties on
wild animals and to apply the bounty
funds to the employment Of detectives,
who will be instructed to shadow all
persons suspected of rustling, and to
attempt to make rustling an occupa-
ton too dangerous to be attractive.
In the early days Of the cattle rails
ing industry in this state ranchmen
paid no attention to predatory wild
animals. the herds running for weeks
at time without attention. In those
days all kinds of game were plentiful
in the state. and wolves, lions, bears,
etc, would find ample food without
raidlng herds of cattle. The losses In
ficted by rustlers In those days. how
ever, were enormous and attained such
proportions that they threatened to
drive big cattle outfits to the wall. The
entire energy of the live stock industry
was concentrated on the elimination OF
the rustler element. which purpose was
practically accomplished after years OF
otr 1oDju1o ttnr
As the rustlers became fewer, so did
antelope, deer, buffalo, etc. and pred
atory animals came to rely more and
more upon cattle for their sustenance.
Before the rustler question was settled
the predatory wild animal question had
become a serious one, and the live
stock interests were given no rest. The
state offered bounties for the destruc-
ton of predatory animals, and the cat
tie associations increased these boun-
ties out of their own treasures. Dur
Ing the last decade there has been very
little loss from predatory wild ami
mails.
Now. in this section, the rustler has
again become factor, and one of such
Importance that he commands more at
tention than the predatory animals,
with which the section is infected.
Stockmen have been harrassed beyond
patience by stock thieves, and they ex-
press determination to put stop to
the operations of such gentry. With
this end in view. the project to ADAM
don predatory animal bounties and hire
detectives to shadow the thieves has
been preached The continued opera
lions of the thieves have become an ac
tual menace to the industry here, az
the ranchmen Of this section are nearly
all comparatively poor men, and they
can i'll afford to lose a heavy percent
age of their herds as the result OF
thieving.
Several alleged cattle thieves have
been arrested within the past month,
one OF whom, j. c. Reynolds, was re.
Gently arraigned at this place and en-.
tered a plea Of not guilty. He waa
bound over for trial before the district
court at Lander under $1,000.
