Native Cattle, Both Steers and

Higher, However
TRADE HIGHER ON GOOD HOGS
Prices Up About Five to Ten; But

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Cattle-Demand
was tame, but was of the usual Fri
day character, so it excited no COM
ment The market ruled steady The
market for native cattle, both steers
and butcher stuff, is closing the week
higher, while range cattle prices were
slightly lower.
Demand for yearlings has been par
ticularly good this week, but still the
chief inquiry was for choice strong
weight steers. packers buying numer-
Gus of these kinds, while a week ago
they were more partial to the medium
grades as against the higher costing
kinds. The improvement in the mar
ket has lifted prices considerably Off
the bottom level of the season. but
whether or not this advanced price
basis will remain long will depend
upon volume of native marketing in
the next week, say the traders. Sup
plies from the ranges will come lib
orally again next week and should the
advance in native values stimulate TOO
keen shipping enthusiasm among corn
belt feeders the present higher levers
for natives are likely to be hit rath-
err severe jolt which may level them
for under the present basis.
Hogs.
Trade was higher on hogs but mixed
and common packing were only steady.
Shippers were fair buyers, while pack
ers were not in the market to any
considerable extent. Prices were up
about SOLO cents.
Sheep.
Sheep trade was at practically
standstill. with prices steady.
Receipts for the first four days OF
the week were S41OO, an increase of
12,1OO compared with the same period
last week and 10000 compared with the
corresponding four days last year.
Moderate receipts are wanted at the
opening next week, but as the pro-
portion of sheep and yearhngs all this
week has been small, buyers ought to
have good orders for such arrivals.

The Grinnell News Letter.

Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell, Aug. 21-Captain Nicely has
received marching orders for forty-five
of his company for Saturday, Aug. 20,
for Fort Riley, Kan, where they will
be in camp for a week. The march
to and from the fort will be ac-
complished in tourist sleepers. There
are fifty-two men now enrolled in
Company K, and the extra seven will
be detailed to go with some company
having less than a full quota in its
membership. Charles N. Lewis, COM
pany cook, has already left for the
fort, ito attend a special school of in
struction for army cooks. Guy Sparks,
who is a member of Company K, but
who has been for some time in Color
ado, has just returned and will go into
camp with the company. While away,
he went into camp with the Colorado
militia, and so is in extra good trim for
this occasion.
H. Atkins, living some distance west
of the city, has recently threshed out
eighteen bushels of timothy seed to the
acre of ground, which he seems to
think establishes O. record in that line
for this county.
"A letter from Rev. II. N. Dascomb,

spend some more time in Italy and
take a trip to Athens occupying nine
days. after which he will start from
Naples on his return trip to America
leaving that port on Sept. 4.
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bortell, of this

Especial Washington Correspondence
Washington, Aug 21.-Castro will be
spanked by proxy. Uncle Sam has
consented to allow Holland to serve as
the proxy, if she cares to undertake the
task Castro. however. will not be per-
mitted to furnish a proxy.
The American minister to Holland,
on advices from Washington, has as
sured the Dutch foreign office that the
United States has no objection to the
spanking process, provided Holland
will not undertake to infringe on Vene-
zuelan territory. Just how Holland
will get blood out of the Venezuelan
turnip without occupying some terri
tory is not very apparent: but the
Dutch have demonstrated a most cam
ny faculty for getting returns on their
investments, and there is calm con-
fidence that if they send an expedition
to Venezuela they will not make such
bad investment of it.

discussions that have taken place in

two houses of congress, In the past

problem of what to do with Castro mas
been a good deal discussed at the state
department, the White House and IN
congressional committees. The dlfflcul-
ties seemed so great as hardly to war

Castro at Outs With Many.
Theoretically, Castro is at war with
several countries now; that 1t, he mas
severed diplomatic relations with
them. If it were not for the Monroe
doctrine, there is small doubt that the
Castro regime would end with for
eign occupation and complete change
of the government. Germany or Brit
ain or France or Italy would long ago
have taken possession of some sort OF
sphere of influence, from which the
government of the turbulent republic
could be watched and kept In BOUNDS.

Steers bought this week have been

which do not show material gain on

on top of the building taking off the
bricks and sliding them down a mar
row wooden chute to the ground, some
thirty feet below, where the other was

When this latter negro was stopping

Instead of its killing him he merely
