Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, July 17, 190S.- There was a good run of cattle here Monday, but it has been mod crate since, total for the week 45,000 head, as compared with 60,000 head same week a year ago. The market is lower this week, grass steers, of which the bulk of the receipts were composed, de- clining around 50 cents, and COWS about 9 cents lower. Veal calves are 50 cents to $1.00 higher this week, tops selling at $600. Stock CTS and feeders range from steady to 25 lower, good demand from
 Illinois feeders for feshy steers holding that class up, while the cheaper grade of stockers sold some lower. Fed steers have sold 50 to 75 cents cheaper this week, all though no strictly prime steers have been included to test the best ones. Top for the week is $7.35, medium to good weight western steers sold at $4.50 to $575, cows $2.75 to $3.60, canners $1.75 to $2.50, bulls S240 to $3.50, fed butcher stuff, of course, above these figures. There has been a fair run of quarantine cattle this week, prices p to 50 cents lower, steers $3.50 to $5.10, cows S2.00 to $3.50.

"*NNwN' N*A F#s# Considerable stuff is moving from the panhandle country, some steers this week sold up to S575, and she stuff in line with above quotations. Good runs are expected from this time forward, and some weakness in prices may be expected, fl claims of packers that hot weather has cut down consumption of meats is true.
 Receipts of sheep and lambs very light. l6,000 here this week i, and the market is quarter higher than q week ago, and highest of the summer season. Some Texas muttons sold at $435 today, and Utah ewes brought $4. 40 yesterday, Colorado spring lambs $6.75 early in the week, and yearlings worth up to $5.50. Demand on all hands has been good, but the future mar ket depends on volume of receipts. There will be a good demand from now on for stuff suitable for the country, sheep at $3.50 to S4.00, and lambs $4.00 to $500.

Gave Bond and Appealed.

THE OASIS is informed by Mir. A. Gonzalez of Nogales, Sonora, attor- ney for A. Sandoval and Prospero Sandoval, that the two gentlemen named have given bond in the amount of $21 ,000 and appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States from the judgment against them in favor of Colonel Epes Randolph, which vas affirmed re- gently by the territorial supreme court; and that the bond has been approved by Chief Justice Kent. In due time the case will go up to the highest tribunal and have a hearing there. Mir. Gonzalez stated also that he believes TIE OASIS was misinformed in the statement pub- lished some three or four weeks ago that the bond company had been obliged to pay the amount of judgment in the case. However that may be the information was given by the agent of the bond company,a and THE OASIS thought he ought to know. Owing to the pro- minence of the contending parties and the widespread fame of the property out from the sale of which grew the litigation the case has at tracted great deal of attention, and its final outcome will be awaited with much interest in many quarters.

MACDALENA MATTERS.

Licenciado A. Gonzalez of No- gales, was at Magdalena Saturday and Sunday, returning home to the line city on the afternoon of the latter named day.
 Mir. Ernest Holt, the assayer, who was very i'll with typhoid fever in April, May and June, is attending to business again al- though he still shows the ravages of his severe illness.
 Mir. Arnoldo Ferber, of the firm of Miguel Latz y Hermanos, who was hurt some three weeks ago by the fall of horse with him, is getting around and attending to business, but he is quite lame yet from the injuries received.
 Saturday of last week Colonel Juan Fenochio, commandante of the Third Zone of La Gendarme- rie Fiscal, returned from a visit to his home in Oaxica and the City of Mexico, where he has been on a leave of absence a couple of months.
 Sunday Colonel and Mrs. Emi- lio Kosterlitski went to Nogales, where the lady will remain a couple of Lonths. Wednesday Colonel Kosterlitski returned to his home. Mrs. Kosterlitski has been indisposed lately, and the change is made for the benefit of her health.
 Accounts from Cerro Prieto go to show that there was a general shakeup out there a couple of weeks ago, everybody in authority, from general manager down, going at one fell swoop. As described by a former employe, "Mr. Stuart went out to the camp last week, and just made a 'rampse'." The new manager is Mir. H. A. Pomeroy, who was superintendent at the King of Arizona mine, afterward at Llanos de Gro, in the Altar dis trict, instead of Mir. w. k. Pome- roy, formerly at Santo Nino, the statement to that effect in THE OASIS of last week having been made through transformation re- ceived from one who was believed to know.

LOOK AT THE SITUATION AS IT IS

There is no use in shutting our
eyes to facts. They are like stone
walls You may not want to know
they are there, but if you try to get
through them with your eyes shut
you bump your head and get hurt.
Americas has got to face the situa-
ton as it is, not as it would like it
to be. We have got a city here of
nearly $4,000 people, one of the best
cities of its size in the whole country.
1t has made excellent progress. 1t
has increased nearly fifty per cent.
in population during the past seven
years. 1t has improved vastly in a
business way, and in external ap-
pearance.
But the city cannot expect to grow
if it remains dependent on the coun-
try round about it. 1t is a tribute
to the productiyeness and wealth of
the surrounding country that it keeps
up so fine town as Americas. But
If the city is to continue to grow
in population and in business it must
have something more than the coun-
try to grow upon. 1t must have fac
tories. That is the cold blooded fact
that stares us in the face.
There is no use in Disgusting it.
Americas has got to have manufac-
lures if it expects to add to the num-
Der of it's people and the number of
its retail businesses And to get the
factories that we need we have got
Ito put forward a concerted and deter
imined movement. If we sit idly on
our oars the factories will never be
established here That is another
fact that we must face.
The best way to get industries-in
fact the only way to get them is to
work for them. And the best medium
to work through to get them is live,
progressive, enthusiastic Board of
T.ade.
AM here is where we stop our ser
mon If you want Americas to grow
join the Board of Trade and help it
to get industries for Americas and
-2ttlers for the country roundabout
/. III are satisfied to have Americas
STAN still, if you prefer to have it
remain just where it is, then don't
join the Board of Trade If you are
in the latter class you would be out
of place in a body of live men work

No Time to Change Congressman
(Schley County News.)

Why should not the voters Of the
Third District return Mr.. Lewis to
Congress for two more years? Hasn't
he for twelve long years proven him
self true to every trust while standing
firm defender of the interests and
rights of the people he has served
Does his record disclose even a shad-
oW of disloyalty to his party or TO
the call of friend? Hasn't his
course from the moment he was sworn
in on the 4th of March twelve years
ago up to this good day been an ac-
tive, honest and conscientious CAM
paign for the adoption of those me-
thods tending to afford the very best
available relief to his constituency?
Has any man even so much as ever
doubted "Lige" Lewis honesty of
purpose during his long term of Office?
Has his been a record of demagogy,
seeking public notoriety or has it
been one of conservative action, al
ways looking to the sane and sound
solution of every problem?
Then why make change?
AT this time, especially, Mr.. Lewis
is an important member of Congress,
being as he is ranking member of
the Currency and Banking Commit
tee Could Mr. Hughes fill Mr.. Lew
is place on this important committee.
even if it were probable that he
would be honored with such an APP
pointment?
In view of every right, Mr. Lewis
should have been returned to Con-
gress for two years more without OPP
position.

What the People Found Out
macon Telegraph.)

1t is not Joe Brown, it is not the
Telegraph, it is not the railroads
nor is it any set of men or politicians
that have so worked up the Cover
nor and sent him spinning through
the State denouncing folks as liars,
and accusing them of murderous in
tent.
The people have found out that, in
the midst of profound peace and great
prosperity Hoke Smith 1.-TWO years
ago. stirred them up by fallacious
appeals, deceived and misled them.
They have found that ne is a
greater ringster and boss than those
whom he impaled with his sharp
tongue.
They have found out that he is the
greatest autocrat that this or any
preceding generation has seen in the
Governors office welding a big
stick
They have found that he can dis
count any preceding Governor, or
boss, in trading with corporations
when his political ends can be serv-
ed, and when a trade can be made.
They have found that for bread he
has given them a stone.
And for these reasons the people
have reacted against him. 1t is their
own work, and they are going to
carry it out in the face of his fran
tic appeals and denunciations OF
those who have taken the side of the
people.

PAMPHLET ON HYDROPHOBIA

The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently issued an
exceedingly interesting pamphlet on
the prevalence of rabies. The chief
of the bureau of animal industry, in
his letter of introduction, states that
here is indubitable evidence that the
disease in increasing in the United
States, and although as the author
points out, rabies is theoretically one
Of the most easily eradicated of all
contagious diseases there are never
culties to be cOntended with. All
that is required to rid us OF this
scourge is the muzzling of all dogs
for a few years. This has been am
ply proved by the experience of sew
aral European countries where the
disease has been stamped out in this
manner But the carrying out of
such a measure in this country is
not easy. The Federal government
cannot act alone i'll the matter. 1t is
necessary to secure the cooperation
Of the States and of the people at
large. Such being the case it is
probable that hydrophobia will con-
tinue to spread until the public mind
has been sufficiently aroused to force
legislation that will be universal in
its action.
The important symptoms, any of
which when we'll marked should rem
der the dog suspicious and lead to
it's being confined, are: Cd change in
disposition; 90 alteration of voice;
CD inability to swallow; (4 leaving
home and returning in an exhausted
and emaciated condition; CD paraly-
sis of the jaw; Co. swallowing abnor-
NAL substances, as wood, stones, etc.
The period of incubation of rabies
varies within wide limits, being more
or less different in the various species
of animals. 1t also differs in the same
species, depending on several import
ant factors, as the location of the
bite. the character of the bite, and
the amount of the virus injected. Bites
about the head, face, and hands in
human beings are the most serious
because these parts are the most eX-
posed. The clothing on other parts
of the body tends to wipe the saliva
from the teeth, and thus prevents 1t
from inoculating the wound. Bites
about the face and head are also
more dangerous than on other parts
because they are so thickly supplied
with nerves and the distance the
vir.uc hoe Tn travel to reach the CEN
trial nervous system is short. Through
experimentation it has been pretty
definitely proved that the virus tray-
els along the course of the nerves ra-
Their than by means of the blood cur
rent. Deep, penetrating, or lacerat-
ing bites are obviously of greater i'm
port than superficial scratches, as
more virus enters the former wounds

PLAYING FAVORITES?

The Atlanta Journal is deeply
panied at the ingratitude shown by
Pres. Atkinson, of the A B. & A., road
in coming out with an interview in
which he declares Hoke Smiths hos
tility to foreign capital had driven
out prospective investors. The Journal
points out that the A B. & A. has
been receiving most distinguished
consideration at the hands of Hoke
Smiths railroad commission, and that
it is base ingratitude on the part of
Mr.. Atkinson to thus criticise Many
people supposed that the railroad COM
mission was there to give everybody
square deal on the merits of the
case. If it has been playing favor
ties, as the Journal sets up, it has
been playing politics too. Betjeman's
pass is one of the skeletons in the
closet" recently trotted out by a
newspaper correspondent Now faV-
ors have been shown to the A. B. &
A What next?
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-05-16

and they are difficult or impossible to
cauterize completely. Severe hemor-
rhage from the wound is favorable
as there is a possibility of part or
all of the virus being thus mechani-
cally removed. Infection and suppur-
alton of the wound may also destroy
the virus. None of these conditions,
however, can be depended upon, but
they account for the fact that a con-
siderable proportion of persons and
animals bitten do not contract the
disease even when no treatment is
given.
The shortest period of incubation
is six days in the rabbit This short
period can only be obtained with
what is known as fixed virus" OBJ
tanned in the laboratory by repeated
passage of the ordinary virus through
a series of so rabbits. The disease as
contracted from the bite of a rabid
dog requires an incubation period
of from fifteen to ninety days. At
times this incubation has been pro-
longed greatly in excess of the above
figures.

THE LAW rs EYADED
ON RURAL ROUTES
Parcels for Rural Routes Must Be
80. KID" by POstmasters

Information having reached the
postoffice department of certain me-
thods by which the postal laws in
regard to mailab1e and unavailable
merchandise on rural routes have
been evaded, Fourth Assistant POST
master General McGraw has taken
steps to prevent future eyasions. Ru-
raj carriers are permitted to deliver
as express matter for patrons of
their routes, unavailable merchandise,
and packages of mailable merchan-
disc, weighing in excess Of four
pounds.
An example of the abuse of this
privilege is that of a merchant who
sent out by rural carrier as mail
matter, pair of shoes, to which
he added bag of salt to make the
package overweight, and to avoid pay
ing postage, so that the carrier might
carry the package for him
In view of such abuse, Mr.. Nc
Graw has issued the followin state
ment:
'An packages of merchandise to
be sent out by rural carriers by
merchants of the town should be
presented at postoffices for inspec-
ton, and in case it is found that
extra matter not ordered by the pat
rons has been added to any mailabIe
matter or package for the purpose of
making such package of matter I'M
mailable postmasters should refuse
to permit the carrier to carry any
such matter or packages for hire
outside of the mails, and rural car
riers should not receive any mail
matter from patrons as unavailable
matter for hire which they suspect
has been made unavailable by such
devices as adopted by the merchant
