ADMITS SALARY GRAB
Congressman Pollard of Nebraska,
Saws He Was Entitled To Ii.

Omaha, July 25.-With the eXplana-
ton that there are many precedents to
authorize the grab Congressman Pol
lard of the first Nebraska district adj
mitted yesterday at his home at Ne
hawkay that he drew salary from the
public treasury for nearly twenty
weeks before he was elected to con-
gress.
The statement has been made in
Lincoln that documentary evidence
could be produced showing Pollard had
drawn salary from March 4, when Ell
mer J. Burkett, his predecessor in con-
gress, was elected to the senate. to
July is. the date of his own election.
CONGRESSMAN Pollard was not even
nominated until May. Asked for a
more definite explanation, Congress
man Pollard answered with the ques-
ton. "What should man say about
ANYTHING when he has done right" and
he refused to be quoted further.
A friend. speaking in his behalf.
however. said: YES, Pollard collected
the money for the whole term. 1t is
sanctioned by precedent. Everybody
does it; that salary is supposed to be
drawn. He had just as good right
to the money as the mem1ers elected in
November, 1904. Burkett did not
draw the money; Pollard did. There
was no double salary paid. This is a
mighty big rumpus about an awful
small matter. Everybody draws all the
salary possible in Washington"

Chicago stockyard Notes.

Because a good many people expect
ed big run of hogs early this week 1t
is very light.
Good strong weight feeders steady;
common stockers hard to sell at very
low prices.
Breeding ewes, good enough to go
to Kentucky, quotabe at SIS. 25m5.60.

western yearling feeders quotable at
$5.50M5.60.
Feeding wethers sold Tuesday within
10@15c OF the price of the fat end of
one or two bands.
You may quote the top Of the hog
market 81, not yet, but soon, said a
hog plank prophet.
The light hog receipts so far this
week are accounted for on the ground
that owing to last weeks advance,
many feared excessive marketing, and
inasmuch as hogs are really not plenty
and owners do not need the money,
it is another case of the unexpected
happening generally looked for
liberal runs early this week and the
reverse proved to be the case.
Prices for sheep have broken nearly
ST per 100 lbs in the past week, and
good authorities predict that reac-
ton is bound to set In, as the country
hasn't the sheep and isn't disposed to
let go of available supplies at what
looks like such needless sacrifice.

NOT A TIME TO LAUGH

There was prosperous Iowa far
mer who, by hard work and saving,
managed to accumulate $40, 900. 1t
is no joke to accumulate $40, 700 on
farm. Many time that farmer
pitched hay until after the stars were
shining and many time he had
stirred up the family of humble
but high tempered bee, and many a
time the brindle COW had wrapped
her unlaundered tail about his face
in the good old summer time. Many
time he his gone to town and cut
out the dinner or possibly had salts
fed his hunger with a cents worth
of bologna and cents worth of
cheese which rose up in Its might to
meet him. w
But he had accumulated $40, 900
and sold his farm. He went to the
city)6fWichita to invest it, and was
surprised at the number of good
things that seemed to be waiting for
him. There were chances all around
to invest that money and double il
In few months, or years at the out
side. He took one of the good
things. He invested his Sac, 900 in
a business which he didn't know a
thing in the world about, but which
the man who sold it to him assured
him was the softest snap that ever
fell to the lot of man VINO had
Sac, 900 to invest.
1t was soft snap-for the man
who sold the business. The man
who paid the $40, 900 found that he
had invested in a choice lot of debts
which his $50, 900 went to pay. The
creditors of the late owner of the
business were glad because they
really never hoped to get 10 cents
on the dollar, and the $40, 900 paid
by the Iowa farmer enabled them to
collect IS or SO cents on the dollar.
When the farmer realized that he
had been buncoed he hunted up the
man who had lnveigled him into the
trade, and with tears in his eyes
begged him to give him back enough
of the $40, 900 to keep him and his
family from immediate want.
The man who had sold him an
inuerest it the business laughed.
