Denver.-At the meeting of the State

make the interstate inspection law ap-
plicable to state traffic The following
orders were given out:

they would be handled without restric-

However, should the B. A. I. In

are part of diseased herd, such a per-
init would be refused and the cattle
could only be shipped as 'Uninspected

ever to do with the brand inspection of

Disk PIow May Be Used.

The disk plow can be employed in
plowing land when it is dry and hard,
which Is highly important, and it also
pulverizes the furrow slice when the
land is dry rather better than the
moldboard plow. The disk plow can
also be used in large gangs, and thus
works very well behind a traction en-
gine. For summer fallow plowing a
light disk plow is about half way be-
tween an ordinary disk plow and a
disk harrow. 1t cuts four or five
inches deep and turns the furrow suf-
ficiently to cover any weeds or trash.
When subsoiling is practiced the use
of subsoiling attachment in gang
plow is not only practicable. but pref
cradle. One satisfactory disk plow
that is made for use. with five or six
horses has two large disks for general
use, but when subsoiling is to be done
the front disk can be removed and a
subsoiler attached in its place. This
position of the subsoiler has several
advantages. 1t leaves a smooth-bot-
toned furrow in which the furrow
covers the subsoil loosened by the
.subsoil plow, thus preventing a con-
siderable loss of moisture that might
result from leaving this loosened sub
soil exposed to the air until the next
round of the plow. There is some
question as to whether subsoil plow
ing is worth what it costs and many
farmers are of the opinion that deep
plowing without subsoiling is the bet
ter practice.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept. 30.
Another big run of cattle was re-
ceived here last week but the demand
was equal TO all offerings and the mar
ket closed in nice shape. Good beef
steers are wanted and fully steady.
COWS rather scarce and strong to a
dime higher, bulls and veals steady.
best feeders steady, others a little low
er. Very few choice fat steers were in
cluded in the supply last week and the
demand is strong. One fancy steer
brought $500, few odds and ends up
to $3.50. but bulk OF fair to good steers
sold at $3.80@4.25. Good cows sold at
$3.25@3.30, with load of fancy heif-
ers at $3.50. Fair to good killing cows
sold largely at s2.7563.2O, medium
cows and stock stun at $2.0002.65,
common cows from $500 down. Bulls
were in good demand at $2-35@2.75 for

Bulk of fair to good feeders on sale

few of the latter grades were here last
week. Attendance of country buyers
was good, but they all want good
steers and common grades are weak
and slow sale.
The hog market closed In nice shape
with a good demand for all offerings.
Prices are little higher than week
ago, most of the hogs now selling mt
s610@625. The supply last week was
5.400.
Receipts of sheep for the week were
over 10000 head. A good many went
through on contract but offerings were
liberal and good business done. A
string Of nineteen cars of feeding
lambs sold on the open market at $3.50,
freight paid, and several smaller
punches brought the same money.
Good fat lambs brought $3.50, fair ewes
$3.50, and wethers sold at $50. A few
feeding ewes brought 1920 and
string of feeder yearling wethers was
weighed up here at s5.75, freight paid.
The local market is in nice shape.

ing. overcrowded multitude of human
fly 1t Is not the home for which our
Sorefathers braved dangers by sea and
dared the hardships and perils of a
new land. A tenement house can no
more be the ideal home than the
apartment hotel with its false ideas of
indolent luxury. In every life. young
and old, there must be a certain
privacy for individual growth and de-
velopment No matter how unselfish-
ly attached to each other brothers.

asks Katherine Leckie in Delineator,
where family of five, six and often
more members live in two, three or
four rooms? Love may be the basis
of these homes. and the true home
spirit may endure. but 1t is obviously
an unnatural way for people to dwell
in congested and limited space. Lack
ing the PHYSICAL comforts of the apart
ment hotel, the tenement house is the
barest home in the world. 1t should
have no part in our life. 1t is unfit for
human habitation.

How 10 Store Potatoes.

Some varieties of potatoes lose more
in weight while in storage than 9th
ers. These losses are influenced by
the temperature and amount of mois-
ture in the air. The higher tempera-
ture increases the loss, while the
higher moisture content diminishes It..
About seventy-five per cent. of the loss
of weight in storage is due to the es-
cape of moisture and to overcome this
put tubs in the dugout and keep them
filled with water. 1t is advisable to
store potatoes in dark dugout. be-
cause light tends to increase the
sweating OF the tubers and to stimu-
late certain changes in composition.

Mysterious Shooting Leaks Out.

Sheridan. Wyo.-Despite efforts OF
the military authorities to keep the af-
fair secret. the news has leaked out
of mysterious shooting at Fort Mac
kenzie several nights ago.
One OF the sentries at the post was
walking his beat about midnight when
some person approached until he could
be dimly seen by the sentry The lat
ter commanded the intruder to halt,
but the man did the reverse, running
away. The sentry fired several shots
at the fugitive, but without effect.
Half an hour later. as the sentry
stood at one end Of his beat, shot
was fired behind him and he dropped
with a bullet through one OF his legs.
When help, attracted by the shot, ar
rived, the person who had fired the
shot had disappeared

Prominent cIubman Takes Life.

Colorado Springs.-Crazed by drink
and suffering from the hallucination
that enemies were in pursuit of him,
Samuel P. Mcdaniel, a wealthy club
man of Colorado Springs. ended de-
bauch begun in Denver by blowing out
his brains. Before killing himself he
attempted to shoot his intimate friends
DIR. Charles Adams Holder and Albert
e. Gardner, who had been summoned
by neighbors to subdue the frenzied
man. Mcdaniel shot three times at
his companions, and when three dep
uties from the sheriff's office arrived
he barricaded his house, and, going to
hallway in the upper story. shot him
self. His body was found by the dep
uties at daylight this morning. They
had remained on guard outside all
night, not daring to force an entrance
for fear that Mcdaniel would carry
out his threats to kill them.
There is an element of mystery
about the affair that friends of the sui
eide are trying to unravel. Possessed
of wealth in abundance, happy in his
domestic relations, it is said, in good
health, Mcdaniel apparently had ev-
erything to live for. No reason is
given for his act except that he was
beside himself as the result of a ten
days debauch, entered upon after the
departure of his wife and two young
sons. who went to Ocean Grove, Penn
sqlyania, two weeks ago. The house
hold goods had been packed prepara-
tory to storing. and Mcdaniel was
planning to go into the Nevada gold
fields.

What becomes Of the ever.increas

men are SO valuable to the business in

much available information as to what
becomes Of them. but no correspond

cooperation with others. has set out to
gather this information, particularly
for the young and unmarried women

women is not entirely that of immi-

The Pullman Car Trust.

(From the Lincoln independently
Representative Harrison's bill to re-
duce sleeping car fares gives Nebraska
an opportunity to shake Its fist at the
Pullman company. Since most Of the
sleeping car patronage in Nebraska
is interstate business an intra-state
reduction Of charges would not make
or to the Pullman monopoly; but it
would be some satisfaction to go
through the motions nevertheless. In
the last eight years this public SER
vice corporation has made in divi-
dends and unearned increase in the
value OF its stocks an average of 81
per cent per annum. In 1898 the COM
pany was capitalized at $4,000, 900. At
that time the stock was watered by
$18,000,000 more. This first paper is
now quoted at two and half times
par value, and has paid GA per cent
dividends in eight years. Last year
$26,00O,000 more water was poured
in, and at once rose above par. In
addition the concern had accumulat-
ed a surplus Of $26,000,000 which it
did not know what to do with, so it
paid 1t over to the stockholders in a
lump. Meanwhile, the company is
unable to pay it's porters living wages,
and the public is held up for tips in
addition to regular charges. Resent
ment at such prosperity may be mere
enviousness, as some of our college
presidents intimate. Whatever the mo-
tive, to permit this concern longer to
levy so heavily upon our prosperity
is unjustitiable benevolence and wan.
ton waste.
