or who could show good cause or
other reasons, were allowed to relin-
quish their filings to the govern
ment, and make new filings on tracts
more satisfactory to them, the gem
eral land Office ruling that they had
such privilege under the existing
statutes. Since the general agita-
ton over the country in regard to
the management of the public lands,
the general land Office rules that such
settlers have no rights upon the
tracts which they have filed, and in
many cases extensive improvements
have been made upon just such
filings. One case in Stanley county,
the claimant has placed owe $1,6Oo
worth OF improvements upon his
tract, and in another a home
steader with a large family has
staked his all on such a claim.

+ r CHRISTMAS.

This is the time OF the year when
the -passimistic individual who
spends his days bewailing the in
creasing wickedness of the world and
the lack of brotherly feeling among
its d%enizens, finds gloomy f~orebodings
are not very well founded, for upon
the dawning Of next Wednesday
morning material evidence of the fact
that selfishness is not the ever dom
mating influence that guides the hui
man being of the present era, may
be noted on every hand. The OK
change of gifts and holiday felicities
is far from being devoid of affea-
ton as we are sometimes requested
to believe. Who has not experienced
through Christmas giving, that fine
degree of happiness which accom-
panies the true spirit of giving.
No doubt to the superficial observ-
err at times ONE the thought that
life is all sordid and hnmdrum, lack
ing those sentiments that lIpiift and
ennoble, and one of the purposes the
Christmas tide serves in refutirg
such a theory and establishing in its.
place the real truth, that beneath
the cloak of soraid Aess and selfish
ness which appears TO envelope our
~esistences, there exists in some de-
gree of development, those loftiet at
tributes that in the end vii! surely
prevail, for He to whom We pay HON
age on Christmas day has so ordained.
A merry Christmas, indeed. But
more than that, it is a joyful, happy
Christmas, whose real significance
has not been lost sight of as it has
come down TO us through all the ages
that have elapsed since that glad day
in Bethlehem.

Receipts this week have been near

nearly 10000 short of the second
market has been Of the usual ante
holiday character and prices have
suffered a decline of fully 25c on an
average. With eastern markets
heavily supplied and glutted with
poultry, the demand for beef has
been cut down very materially and
packers have been able to pound
prices hard. Good to choice beeves
suitable for the holiday trade have
naturally suffered the least while
that have constituted the bulk of the
offerings, have been the greatest suf-
ferers. In fact the commoner grade
have been hard to sell at anything
like decent figures. The only favor
able feature of the trade is the fact
that the packers are willing to take
the stuff at some figure. Common
and canning COWS are selling as low
as any time this year and they are
very slow sale at that. Business in
stockers and feeders has naturally
Suffered from the sli ny in killing
stock and values are II of a quar-
ter lower than they We e a week ago.
Quite a good many cattle will have

With some increased receipts and
supplies %unevenly distributed
throughout the week the market
has been subject to violent
fluctuations although the general un-
der tone to the trade was decidedly
bearish. There has been consider
able buying for shipping account and
this has been the main sustaining
force in the market as packers have
insisted on lower prices right along
and took advantage CT every oppor-
tunity# to force values to a lower lev
ell. Weight has cut very little figure
and the range of prices is apparently
getting narrower right along. The
entire situation is so unsettled that
the only safe course for the country
to pursue is to allow for a wide ship
ping margin. Aside from the big
demand for fresh meat the conditions
surrounding the trade are mostly
bearish.
There has been no very radical
change in the sheep market this week
although demand from all sources
has been restricted and the trend of
prices lower most Of the time. Pack
ers@ are all rather bearish and the de-
mand from feeder buyers has fallen
off very materially of late. AS a rule
10 to lac would cover the decline
of both fat stock and feeder grades
but there is a very weak %undertone
to the trade.

We wonder IL very many people

brewers for support along those
lines. The unexpected reinforcement

Just azlittle tardy in making the stand

strongly of an attempt to divide the

giyings as to the sincerity of such an
action from the men who depend up

Christmas Shopping.

Do not delay your Christmas shop
ping until the last few days; others
will do that, and if you do, you are
very apt to find yourself very uncom-
fcrtably lone of the crowd"
In giving presents do not go beyond
your means, thereby giving the gift
the appearance of barter and ex-
change. Many persons prefer a pref
ty useless gift to a pretty useful. one.
Just something to show that you hola
your friend in remembrance, is best.
Only a selfish person will misunder-
stand.
Try to avoid all appearance of
shop" unless you are quite sure
you understand your friends taste,
and the need of the moment. This
is not always easy to do. AS an in
stance, a lady who writes a great
deal, but dots all her work with a
typewriter, using her pen only for
her signature, showed me a boxfulI
of penWipers of all kinds, sizes. and
costs, and an equal number Of blot
ting pads, many of them very elabor-
ate affairs. Another friend has
something over a dozen fountain pens
while another has a drawer full Of
paper cutters and pencil trays, not
one Of them while costing consider
able, is suited to her needs, being
chosen by persons who do not know
enough about a writing womanl,
work to discriminate in the matter.
Many things being left until be-
lated stopping, are bought In despair
alton and neither the giver nor the
receiver is satisfied with them. If
YOU are nurried OF worried, or do
not know exactly what you want to
give, 8 i what would suit your friend,
there is always one sure refuge, and
that Is the pretty picture card, or the
postal with good wishts inscribed

DEATH OF TOEPELMANN.

o. l. Toepelmann died in Dresden
on December II. He will be remem-
bered as formerly a chemist at a Ter
ti1izer factory here, who was picked
up one night near the corner of King
and Liliha streets in an unconscious
state. Taken to the police station IN
der the belief that he was intoxicated
it was discovered that he had received
a serious injury to his head. Whether
from a malicious blow or fail was
never determined, though some OF the
unfortunate mans friends made great
efforts to get at the bottom of the az
fair. Toepelmann was so badly hurt
that he never recovered his faculties
and was sent home to his people IN
Germany. The news of his death came
in the latest mail.
