fall of slate. A huge block of slate
fell full upon him, crushing him to
the floor of the room. Both legs

places, Two ribs were broken a1d
severe cuts sustained on the mead and
the body is badly bruised and scratch

The accident occurred about four
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. Mr..

the mine and had prepared shot. A
piece of slate GA the roof that had
become loo5ened and threatened TO
fall had been sustained by a prop.
Mr.. Coulter desired that this piece of
slate should be Jared down by the
force of the shot, and he pulled the
prop out from under it. After the
sustaining pillar was taken away and
the great mass still remained in place,
the man thought he had time to go

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions Noted By the Iowa Com
mission Company

The following market report is fur
|nished by the Iowa Live Stock Com,
mission CO., at the Union Stock Yards
in Chicago:
CATTLE-The market closed up in
very good condition last week, and as
we expected, we had moderate run
today, estimated receipts being $4,000.
There was certainly healthy tone
to the steer trade and all desirable
lgrades showing favorable condition of
flesh were readily bought up at strong
prices. Top cattle reached $500 to-
day. We had a very active COW trade
land most grades of butcher cattle
ruled Toe higher, with the fat kinds
the best sale. Calves ruled about
steady. Cattle market seems to be in
a healthy condition and while we may
not see much if any advance for the
near future, within the next few
months we look for higher prices on
all fat cattle and believe anyone hav.
ing cattle on feed, it will pay them
well to make them good before send
ling them to market. If any party
feeding stock will write us giving
description of their cattle, and men
ton this paper, we will gladly post
them fully on their particular kinds,
free of charge.
HOGS-The market did not close up
in very good shape last week, and
with estimated receipts of $4,000 to-
day, which were fully as many as the
trade figured on, after the big decline
of last week, market ruled 5c@10c
lower. Quality OF offerings is still
very good, with the light weights the
best sellers. Extreme top on fancy
light, $3.50; bulk of fair to fancy
butchers, $6.65@670, with fair to
choice mixed, $6.60@6.65. Provision
markets ruled strong and it looks as if
we ought to have a steady market
balance of week, especially after the
heavy decline we had during the past
week.
SHEEP-The market closed up in
very good shape last week, and with
a run of $4,000 on sale today, market
opened very active and strong, tine
trade was very good, with top lambs
again up to $500 per cwt. Mexican
yearlings reached Sis and shorn
wethers sold at $3.50. Feeding lambs
sold as nigh as $3.50 today, while the
shorn grades were 10c@15c lower,
with the tops at &c per Id. There
seems to be good feeling in the
sheep trade, but for those ready to
come, we believe it well to let them
come along.

ant step Monday evening at its regu-
lar session in passing q resolution
that prevents the erection of any more
o1esstory sheds. shanties, or so-called

in the absence Of available properties
in which to open new saloons other
one-room brick buildings might be
erected similar to the Freeman place
on High avenue west, This II unde-
sirable from number OF view points
and complaint has peen made to the
council. Hence the resolution was
passed to the effect that '.it is the
sense of this council that no permit
be granted for saloons occupying
oae-story buildings hereafter to be
built.
1t is said that this resolution may
change the plans of certain improve,
ments that have been contemplated
in the city.
Permits were granted by the city
council Monday evening to the Hamm
Mating Company to sell retail liquors
in the building on South First street
that has been known as Sunny Jin's"
place. A second permit was granted

two o'clock, and was quite largely at
tended by those VINO had known the
pioneer lady during her life. Deceased

fore the days of infirmity came upon
ner she was a mother to the suffer
ing and the needy and her home, sim
pie though it may have been, was
home and refuge for all VINO sought
its shelter. Many are in the city to.
day who have enjoyed the hospitality
.of that nome and many who have
reason to remember Mother" Swain
with the kindliest of feeling. Hence
many of the older citizens gathered
to pay this last tribute of respect tC

should be performed upon the very
spot the lady knew as her first nome

then village of Oskaloosa and before
they could speak much of the English
tongue, they purchased lots whereon
the Central Methodist Episcopal
church now stands, and they lived in
that first home during a number OF
years. A number of handsome floral
tributes were placed upon the casket
of the deceased and a large wreath
was the gift of the Ladies of the g.
