QUARTERLY REPORT.

The second quarter of the pres
ent Chautauqua year was begun
by rousing meeting, and the
keen interest that was taken in it
seems to have acted as stimulant,
for it has been very evident that
each member has put forth his
best effort in every possible man.
ner in the endeavor to better him.
self and to raise the standard of
the circle. These efforts have not
been in vain, and it does rot re-
qui1e a close observer to notice
the vast improvement in the sever
al ways, which has been especially
noticeable in the preparation and
reading of papers. The subjects
have been more thoroughly studied
and gone into, more careful con-
struction has been the rule, and
the idea that ''any old thing in
any old way will do" has not been
tolerated. Such papers as those
favoring and opposing universal
peace; those telling of conditions
and experiences in distant lands;
those treating the various features
of education; those defining patri-
otism and high finance, as we'll as
many others, are deserving of
much praise. The debate, also,
discussing the necessity of war,
was ably presented and showed
throughout The spirit that has
made the past three months a
creditable period in the history of
the circle. Then there are those
contributions that have sought to
entertain us and to drive away
dull cares. AS for them, the least
that can be said is that they are
always well received, and only
their brevity is regretted.
Six meetings have been held.
one of which was devoted to spe-i
cial and five to regular exercises.
Twenty papers we're read, nearly all
OF which were taken upin the dis
cussion.
Of the twenty-six members who
were enrolled Jan. 9TH, one has re-
signed, one was discharged from
the institution, and one was sus-
pended for failure to comply with
one of the provisions of section
two of the bylaws. Five new
members have been admitted max
ing the present membership
twenty-eight.
There has been full attendance
at all but four meetings, that of
March 18th having two absentees,
making in all five for the quarter.

positive that pronunciation" was
correct, and each man was willing
to bet the product of his little red

rather contented with himself and
the world in general, let them
down easy by merely advising
them to go to the dictionary, and
telling them that betting was a
dangerous habit.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Jan.
r. Receipts were again heavy at all
markets last week. The result was
lower prices all along the line except on
the very choicest grades. There was a
good outlet for good cattle but it was
simply case of too many being sent in.
Supply here was about the same as the
week before. Average quality was a
little better hut a good many common
cattle were included. Competition was
good for the best and desirable stuff
closed about steady with the week be-
fore, but common cattle were dull and
lower. Beef was not very plentiful and
packers could have used more. Several
loads Of cornfeds arrived and sold large
ly at 400 to s4.40. Cows were good
sellers and choice ones little higher at
the close. Common cows very dull and
market 10 to Is lower. Best cows
sold at $500 several punches going at
this figure, while most of the pretty
good kinds brought so.75 to $3.35. Me-
dunn to fair cows sold mostly at e. 25
to s2.75 and Gamers from $2.25 down.
bulls were fully steady and veals little
stronger. There was n good many
feeders and stockers here but quality
was rather common. Inquiry was good.
a number of eastern buyers being here
looking for steers. Dealers also had
plenty of orders. They all wanted the
good steers, however, and this inferior
stuff was dull and closed lower. Sales
ranged largely from $s.2s to A.00 with
tops at $.l6. Supply today was 5000
head, quality good, market active and
prices strong to little higher.
A large delegation of feeder buyers
from the eastern markets will be in at
tendence at the big show next week to
buy the cattle offered at that time.
Dealers here are looking for n very
large volume of business at satisfactory
prices.
