some other directors. not far away,

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions In Chicago of Interest
To Iowa Producers.

Chicago, Sept. 4.
CATTLE-The cattle trade closed
up In fair condition last week with the
bulk of the steers selling around
steady prices. Butcher cattle were in
very good demand and prices gener-
ally 10c@15c higher than the fore part
Of the week. The week is opening
with only a fair run of cattle, estimat7
ed receipts being $4,000, Market is
generally about steady to strong on
both steers and butcher cattle. We
do not look for a heavy run the bal
ance of the week and expect to see a
fair market. .r. r..
=. HOGS--1he hog market continues
to be in rather an unsettled condition.
The trade closed rather bad last week
and today with estimated receipts of
3S,000,i market was again dull and
weak with prices generally 5c@10c
lower. The extreme top today for fan
cy, selected light hogs was $3.50, but
it is taking very prime hogs weighing
under 200 lbs. to bring this price 1t
will be necessary to have lighter re-
ceipts before we can see any improve
ment in the hog market, and should
the runs continue heavy, we look for a
still further decline. r. ~
SHEEP-Natiye lambs had quite a
setback last week and prices in a
good many instances were 75c@$1. 90
per ewt. lower than the fore part of
the week. Western lambs did not suf-
fer SO much decline and were only
about Csc lower. The run today is
estimated at 10000. Market ruled
generally about steady on both sheep
and lambs. For anything ready to
ship, we believe 1t is a good time to
let them come along.

OPENING OF Of THEI. &C.
Buildings Are Improved and At
tendance is Large.

The healthy condition of Iowa Chris
tian College was apparent on its open
ing day Monday when improvements
ON every side in building and equip
ment were evidence to the students of
the prosperity of the institution. From
present indications there will be from
fifty to seventy-ive students in all de-
partments during the fall term and
the states of Oregon, Illinois and Colo
RADIO are already represented in the
enrolment.
A new acetylene light plant which
has been installed this summer is one
of the marked improvements, as be-
fore the illumination of the building
was accomplished entirely by kero-
sene lamps The new system of gas
with its twenty-eight separate lights
now furnishes excellent light to thir-
teen different rooms of the building,
including the chapel. The laboratory
Is receiving much new equipment this
week. A $3.50 outfit of fine science
apparatus and a Bardou astronomical
telescope have just been received,
which considerably increase the facil-
tiles In that department.
Several new additions have been
made in the faculty. Prof VIM. s.
Hamilton, who received his l.. L. ID.
degree from Valparaiso University, In
diana. and Mabyl c. Hamilton, who
also took the Normal course at Valpa-
raise, are members of the faculty this
year. Prof. H. d. Helwig, who spent
two years at Naperville. Illinois, col
lege and one year at Nebraska Wes-
leyan university, will have charge Of
the German and History. Miss Win
.nifred Mae Russell of this city will be in
the preparatory and normal depart
.ment, and Miss Lolo Walker. who grad
uated from the Tri-State Normal and
Business college Of Angola, Ill, will
have charge of the shorthand and type
writing department this year.

MONEY IN TREASURY.
0skaloosa Chautauqua Has a Sur
plus of $500 on Hand.

The 1907 assembly of the Oskaloosa
Chautauqua has paid all debts incur
red by previous assemblies and has
81 500 into the treasury of the as
sociation. Incidentally also the 1907
assembly has been the best In the his
tory of the association and the pro-
gram was equal. if not superior to any
Chautauqua given in the west. Our
people and the management are to be
congratulated over their appreciation
and support of the splendid ten dayS
entertainment.
At meeting of the board of direc-
Yer Ploeg yesterday afternoon the
above happy fact was brought out and
the business of the year was settled up
as nearly as possible. The total re-
ceipts for the assembly this year were
Sc. 1887. OF this amount $2,40O came
from gate receipts, 5000 from reserv-
ed seats, and the remainder from the
sale of season tickets, rent on tents,
and from concessions. Fourteen hun
bred and ninety-seven season tickets
were sold, of which 1884 were for
adults and 235 for children.
The bills have not all been paid yet,
but about $4,000 has been distributed
for talent and various expenses. 1t
is figured that $500 will meet all the
remaining obligations, leaving $500
in the treasury.

ually few conflicts were found in the
program and 1t was carried out with
fiye-minute recitation periods on the
afternoon of the opening day. The
enrolment has not yet been computed
but 1t will likely average about the
same as 1t did last year, although the
entering class is smaller than usual and
a good many old scholars have not yet

present and work has begun in earnest
