II any city gent with his fine buggy
wishes to take a drive he need not
hesitate to drive southwest of the city

getting his buggy soiled. This road
is thoroughly graded and drained and

perfectly dry. If you do not think

A few years of such work In tue

action of the Tioga Township board
to the various township boards in this

A RIPPING DREAM.

When my uncle first started In bust
ness as a general merchant In coun
try town it was in partnership with a
young fellow Of about his own age.
Both boys were very enthusiastic
about their work, aud after long days
behind the counter they would go to
their room above the store and con
tinue to talk shop" far into the
night,
My uncles partner was particularly
engrossed in his work, and often his
sleep was disturbed by dreams OF Gus
TONERS ard big sales.
One night his nightmare reached
the climax. Evidently the dreamer
was just in the + of selling some
cotton goods, for my uncle felt his
night shirt go rip, straight up the
back, while his partner was calmly
saying:
1.-Two yards. Madam?"-Lippincotts

MARKET REPORT
Kansas Citv Mo If

Kansas City, Mo. June "a, 1877
Live stock receipts at Kansas City
last week.
Total cattle receipts last week ex
ceeded so. 900 head for the first time
this year, the large total being caused
by extraordinary supplies Of quaran
tine cattle, receipts of this class ag
gregating 81 900 head. Cattle supply
today is 10000 head, reduction Of
1000 from last MondaG's supply, three
fourths of the decrease in the Quaran
tine division. Fed steers weighing
above 1l50 per cent advanced 10 to %
cents last week, and are steady today,
and the general average of fed steer
prices last week was highest of the
year, tue range being from $5 to 6.8e.
Top steers today sold at 6.65, and bulk
Of steers at 5. 80 to $50. The only fea
ture in the controversy between pack
ers and sellers last week was a settle
ment Of the difficulty by the st Joseph
Exchange, whereby shippers receive
little II any advantage over a straight
rale forcing them to sell subject"
All other Exchanges have repudiated
this proposed settlement, and the sit
uation Is exactly the same as a week
ag) at all the markets except Saint
Joseph. The corporation of country
bankers with the sellers is regarded as
a great advantage scored against the
packers, and the inclination Of the
latter the last few days t. make over
lures for peace considered an indica
tion of ultimate victory for the sellers.
COWS declined 10 to 25 cents last week,
are abOut steady today, at 81 80 TO
4 90, heifers 70 TO 5, bulls % TO So,
calves lower than week ago at 1915
10 8, stockers and feeders scarce and
trade quiet without much change in
prices, stocker 3 70 to 4,60, feeders
4 .25 to 4.SO.
Reduced marketing OF hogs first of
last week caused an advance In prices,
but heavier receipts since Wednesday
have brought loss, to 10 lower to
day on receipts of $500 head. A heavy
run at Chicago is the bear feature to
day, but the market is not able to
stand up under as heavy supplies now
as few weeks ago, and declines may
be expected on heavy runs. Light and
medium weight hogs sold at s5.s5 to
5.95 today, heavy hogs s so to s. go,
Sheep supplies were fairly liberal
last week at &c, 900 head, market 25
cents lower on sheep, lambs about
steady for the week. Supply today is
1900 head, market Is to 25 cents lower.
lambs selling at 81 to 7.50, wethers
and yearllngs $50 to 625, ewes s 25
to $50. Bulk of the supply is range
stuff Of only fair quality, choice ma
tlves probably quotable above these
figures.

HEAVY RAINS.

Four nights in succession this week
heavy rains have fallen, part of the
time accompanied by hail and gener-
ally by a good puff of wind. There
was more or less thunder and light
ming each time but Tuesday night
was the elimination Of electric dis
play. In the after part Of the night
a cloud came up from the northwest,
and for about an hour we were treat.
ed to most magnificent electric dis
play and a wonderful crash of thun
der.
l think never experienced more
, dazzling and binding display of elec
tricity or more terrific thunder. A
binding flash Of lightning would occur
,, and before yoL could catg9 YOUR
bseath the fearful crash of thunder
would come and it seemed at time 8
old mother earth was being torn as
under. The rain came In torrents
and it seemed for time that the
food of Noah was to be repeated.
However, as day light came the fury
of the storm broke and we only had a
gentle down pour till about noon
| Wednesday.
Harvesting is suspended for the
time and the ground Is so thoroughly
saturated that the cultivators are
hung up for the present.
The river came up very rapidly
Tuesday Dight and Wednesday and
grave fears were expressed of an over
flow, but Wednesday night it receded
about foot and half. The wealth
er is still unsettled and more rain is
to follow.
One good thing about the matter is,
these heavy rains we have been hav-
ing have net extended up about the
headwaters and there Is no danger of
an overflow from local showers.

DEAD.

Mrs. Mary Dryden Edwards,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II. C..
Dryden or this city, died at the
home of her parents on North High
land, Thursday morning June 81 tn,
and will be buried in Elmwood
cemetery, Saturday afternoon.
Funeral services will be held at
the house at 2:3o pm, Saturday
conducted by Elders Kitchen and
Mathis.
Mrs. Edwards was born in La
bette Co., Ks, June IS, 1878. Aug,
ust II, 1872 she married Simon
Edwards Of this county, who died
Nov. II, 1877. Thus in early life
she was left widow with one son,
Clay Dryden Edwards who is now
young boy of twelve.
Too much cannot be said in con-
mendation of the virtues of Mrs.
Edwards. She was pure christian
woman in every sence and one of
the sweetest characters ever born
into this world to scatter sunshine
and happiness. Hers was model
christian life, full of good deeds and
kindly acts. Though we see her no
more, the memory of her sweet, pa
tient face will linger and the lives of
those with whom she mingled will
be made better by her example.
Mrs. Edwards has been a long
and patient sufferer from consump-
ton. She was a member of the
Christian church. She belonged to
the Knights and Ladies of Security,
The Ladies of the G.. A. R, and of
the Degree of Honor.

THE DEED is DONE

At council meeting last Monday
night, the meter ordinance was pass
ed over the mayors veto by a vote
of 6 to 2. This was as had been eX-
pected, and we must now arrange to
buy gas by meter just as soon as
possible.
A great deal of feeling exist over
the city against this measure. We
know 1t will entail large outlay of
money by the citizens to prepare for
this change in method and will work
a hardship on many, but it seems
something had to be done. We are
constantly mining in debt and our
gas which costs money now, is being
needlessly wasted. The council is
blamed for the increased debt and
now are severely censured for this
effort to curtail expense.
Truly, it IS a great and desirable
thing to be a member of the coun-
Gil. We sincerely hope and expect
that sentiment will change on the
meter proposition. We hope 1t will
not prove to be burdensome but
economy to the consumers in the
long run. The council had no de-
sire to oppress any one, in this mea-
sure, but is seeking the greatest ulti-
mate good to all. Personally we
prefer the fiat rate but believe the
meter plan will prove to be the best
in the end.

GOOD ROADS

The Tioga Township board, consist
ing of ]. D. Galliger, Trustee: G. e
Johnson, Treasury and F. H. Cnappel,
Clerk; seem to have become imbued
with the idea that we hlAe reached
the time when good roads are a neces-
sity. They have purchased plow
with an elevator attachment and by
hitching traction engine to it they
are enabled to open up ditch at the
side Of the road and elevate the dirt
to the center, there the big thirty
inch faced wheels of the traction en-
gine packs it almost like the big
steam roller of the city. They are row
working on the road south uf the city,

BAD JOB.

Some Italians kidnapped an ltal'
ian boy ! or years cid in New Or
leans and because the boy cried to
be taken home, broke his neck and
hid the body in swamp. One OF
them has confessed to the crime and
led the officers to where the body
was secreted. A little hanging bee
will now be in order.

Portugal is now in serious trouble.
Mobs have been raiding the princi-

demonstrations against the govern

standbys of East Big Creek Twp. has

To those interested we would say
that the long looked for pictures have

A big fire at the jamestown expo
sition destroyed several bui dings
and did much damage in general.
This exposition seems to be In hard
luck. They are six months behind
with their buildings and in very
incomplete state generally.
This fire will give them another
back set from which they willscarce-

Somehow these eastern fellows
have not shown the snap of the
western fellows in getting ready for
their show.

TROUBLE IN FRANCE.

France has been having a deal OF
a time with the wine growers of the
southern part of the country. They
inaugurated a regular rebellion over
some real or imaginary wrong and
undertook to run things with high
hand. The military was called out
and settled things.
