Boone, Aug 21.-Mrs Charles H.
Meyer, wife of the president of the
accused with Haywood of completely in
the murder Of Steunenberg, is in Ma
drid visiting with her people. She is
daughter of Jacob Houser, of Ma
drid. She came to Madrid with her
sister, who has been in the west with
Mrs Meyer, having gone to Boise. Ida
no, near the first of April, when Mrs.
Meyer was very sick in the hospital
at Boise before the commencement of
the Haywood trial, while Mr.. Meyer
was in Jail awaiting trial. Mrs. Moy-
err is still in very poor health, her
condition being largely the result of
worry over her husband.
The Haywood trial at Boise closed
Sunday August 5th. Mr. Meyer was
released on bail the 18th. He and his
wife and her sister remained at Boise
until the 9th, Friday morning, Mr..
Meyer being busy making arrange
ments for a new trial, tho his coun-
sci thinks there is little likelihood Of
there being one.
Mrs. Meyer and Mrs. Noggle went to
Denver, Informing no one of the time
of his arrival, so as to avoid DEM
onstration. something he is constitu-
tionally averse to at any time, and
which he did not want for himself at
that time, while his comrade Pettibone
was still imprisoned.

"What Have You on Hand?"
Cora fton Record)

The depot agent collected freight
bill, told two men the train was an
hour and forty minutes late, leaned
back in his chair and told story.
1t was a short story and the section
boss had barely time to fill his pipe
and light a match before it was all over
and his laughter put out the match.
Said the agent:
A drunken man came up to the
window and threw down ten dollar
bill. He was a well dressed drunkard
but his clothes had been badly treated
and his hat was denied and his linen
had been disturbed. The station agent
said he picked up the money and in
quired in his Shopper month COM
pany voice, What station?' The man
looked at him In as businesslike a way
as he could command and answered.:
What stations you got?" The whistle
of the way freight was heard and the
story was over

cANNoN's LUCKY KICK.
How II Saved the Speaker From Z
Mad Doo.

NOW u S4vGO SnS oPoAN0T SIO" q
Mad Dog.
Speaker Cannon narrowly escaped
becoming a victim few days ago OF
the mad dog epidemic, which has
caused two deaths from hydrophobia
In his home city Of Danville, ILL.,. and
sent ten victims hurrying to Chicago
for treatment In the Pasteur institute,
says Chicago dispatch to the New
York American.
1t was we'll directed kick, admins
tered at the lcrucial moment, that
saved Uncle Joe He was standing
in front of the Plaza hotel in Dan
Vile when he heard shouts of Mad
dogr' and saw a great crowd In full
chase of a yellow dog.
The animal was in the center Of the
street, and before the speaker realized
his danger it had reached point di-
rectly opposite him. Then, to his as
constituent, it made a sharp turn to
the right and ran directly toward
him. Its mouth was dripping foam,
and it was uttering short, sharp yelps
of rage and fear.
For q moment Mr. Cannon stood mo-
tionless, looking at the dog as If fas-
cinated But when the animal was
within two feet of him Uncle Joe's
right No. 10 suddenly shot out and
caught the animal in the ribs. The
yelping dog was lifted into the air and
dropped dazed into the gutter A
minute later a painting inspector ar
rived and killed the animal.
Uncle Joe did not wait to see the
result of his kick. The moment he
had delivered it he turned and ran
at a speed no one in Danville can
equal.

Drawing strina. For cor.ets.

To vary the monotony bit there are
women's clubs whose object is not that
of social entertaining, music or bridge.
Neither are they educational nor char
liable of turn, and no philanthropic
questions are ever discussed or prayed
for. A corset club is one of these,
says the New York Press. 1t appears
that many poor young women in Lon
don pay sixpence a week each into a
club, and when shillings has been
subscribed a pair Of corsets is purchas-
ed and lots are drawn to decide who
shall possess them. The existence of
this club came to light few days ago
when one of its members took dis
pute concerning her ownership of
particular pair Of corsets to court.

Large Run Taken Today at
Yesterdays Prices, With
Feeders 5 to Is Cents Up
THE HOG MARKET is STILL BAD
Prices Weak to Cents Lower, With
Bulk of Sales Under cents-Sheep
Demand Continues Good, in the Face
Of Heavy Receipts = Quotations in
Chicago and Elsewhere.

Chicago. Aug. 21.-There was large
run of cattle on today's market, but
not more thaNenough to supply the
demand Prices, therefore were steady,
most grades selling at yesterdays fig
llres, with the exception of feeders.
which were 5 to 10 cents higher. Re-
,,eipts were estimated at $4,000.
Two days marketing this week
stands at $4,000, comparing with 1896
a week ago and 34,227 a year ago, but
this supply has been fully up to buyers
needs. A run of $500 westerns mas
been included in the number and about
1000 Texans The native supply has
thus been rather small, but it was
pointed out last week that buyers would
probably need only light supply of
native steers this week and thus far
this has been true.
Conditions in beef trade are such
that demand continued moderate, ana
heavy liquidation is bound to bring
about another decline. The market mas
been steadied from depression in values
during the past week and some of the
choice steers have sold 10 cents higher
than a week ago but still there Is not
demand keen enough to boost piain.
medium and good killing and shipping
grades strong indication of the quiet
ude which prevails in consumptlve
quarters.
The scarcity of strictly choice beeves
is more pronounced than in a long time
and these, say traders, should hold we'll
up in price in the near future, but there
is apprehension in selling quarters
that further slump is due in medium
and plain natives and THAT it will surely
ma terialize in the event of big ship
ments Of range steers within the next
two weeks.
Already the western range cattle
are becoming a strong fac
tor in steer trade and the good quality
of subsequent arrivals this season
promises to put them in high favor
with slaughterers, as against medium
and plain short-fed natives. Rangers
arriving thus far this season have
been of generally better quality than
in recent years. and while the volume
of them has not yet been large enough
to seriously affect values for natives,
81 much greater number which are due
to arrive in the next few weeks will,
in the opinion of many local traders,
cause further depression in prices for
medium and plain natives unless lib
eral liquidation of the latter is checked.
Hogs.
The hog market was again weak,
with prices ranging 5 cents lower. Re-
ceipts of about $4,000 head did not
help the market. the prevailing price
ranging from 5.65 to $50
The primary and most potent factor
of depression is the big run. The
is in possession of more hogs
than it has been credited with. 1t is
a surprising fact that quality is good
and neither pigs nor green stuff is
much in evidence.
Sheep.
There was another large run of sheep
today $4,000 head, but prices remained
steady at yesterdays level.

She was weary of lips like cherries.
and pink cheeks and golden hair;
She had fallen in love, she whispered
with cute" little Teddy Bear
So I've waited in here in the darkness
at her Highness' commands;
oh, the hours I've spent in longing for
the touch of her baby hands
For, cen tho she loves another, she
hotdr me in iron bands.
If my rival We're only handsome 1
would never have shed a tear,
But, ugh, that horrid monster that
never would let come near.
Oh, the thought of that bear and her
Highness is driving me mad,

But hope some bright, bright morn

And the Teddy Bears place will be TAX

And the arms of. her loving Highness
