few lines.
Health in our neighborhood Is
good at this time, but l fear there
will be a great deal of sickness
later on account OF so much rain
which we have had.
Crops are sorry here-that is
cottou-corn is fine and with one
more rain will make lots of corn in
Bell county.
The oat crop was damaged half
on account of the rain the last OF
May. Grain that made 10 bush
els per acre is thrashing out 20
and 20 bushels now.
Say, if any Of you Brazos coun-
ty boys want to work in a fine
healthy country, be sure and come
to Little River. You cia yet $3.50

THE MARKETS.

Krnsas City Stock Yards, June
roth, Igo7-The supply OF cattle
in quarantine division here last
week aggregated 900 car loads
largest receipts of any week this
year. The market was stronger
at the middle of the week, but de-
veloped some weakness toward the
close, ending the week 10 to 20
lower on steers, and about 10 low
er on cows. supply of the latter be-
ing small. Packers still refuse to
buy she stuff except subject to
post norton inspection, but COM
mission men stand firm in their re-
fusal to sell cows and heifers on
these terms, and the country Is
standing solid against the PROPOSE
ton. Receipts in the quarantine
division today are I25 car loads
also another record for a single
day this year, market active and a
shade stronger than the close OF
last week. The supply ran more
to grass steers today, having that
tendency naturally at this season,
although embracing fed steers at
$3.50 to $3.50. Late last week
Kelley & Norris had some 100 lbs.
partly fed cattle here from Com
stock, Texas, which sold at S4.7o,
and sales OF grass steers today
range from 81 90 to $3.50. Some
1910 lbs. "wintered' steers sold at
So. SO and $50 lbs straight grass
Indian steers at $40 TO $3.50.
Not many COWS are here today,
sales ranging from $500 to S3.75,
bulls $3.50 to $500, veal calves
S.. so to 81 90. As packers are in
sore need OF medium and light
weight steers to substitute for
COWS and heifers, which they are
unable to secure, the market Is
likely to hold up strong.
Hog supplies were heavy last
week, 81, 700 head, market fiuctu
ating moderately, closing the week
with net loss of 8 cents per cwt
Supply is 10 900 head today, mar
ket weak t. 5 lower, under thu
influence of q heavy run at Chica
60, light hogs selling at 500 t.
5000, bulk of sales 500 to 70. 5
Moderate receipts later this weel
will bring higher prices, as al
hands are buying freely, one pack
ing house here importing ZOO
hogs from another market, in ad
dition to the large number secures
here. Quality runs good, and II
reports of shortage are receives

Cleveland, Ohio. Oct 2S-Mayor Tom l.

scent fare issue raised by Johnson, was
wrested from the mayors hands to-day
by the Cleveland Electric Railway Com

ing that the board OF directors had voted
10 pledge the company to accept a re-
moval OF its scent fare franchise. based
on Mr.. Burton's traction plan Of a fare
no higher than seven tickets for a quar-
ter. with numerous other concessions.
Mr.. Johnson has employed with telling
effect in furthcrance Of his campaign the
argument that the old line never would
agree 70 Burton's traction problem solu-
tion. Mr.. Johnson had ridiculed Con
gresham Burton's plea that his seven
ticket proposal would end the traction
war Immediately. Mayor Johnson re-
peatedly asked Mr.. Burton to answer the
question. How can YOU be sure the
Cleveland Electric viii accept your
terms?"
The mayor tacitly admitted the Burton
proposal 20 be a happy solution, provid-
ing always 1t could be enforced, but put
forward the argument that to elect Mr..
Burton and a Republican council, pledged
20 the Burton plan, would be 20 sur
render, when Scent lines were already
operating
