The Cattle Quarantine.

Complaint is rife about the manner
in which quarantine is being conducted.
Altho the official notice does not pro-
hibit shipping feeding stock into quar-
antined states, railroads refuse to ac-
cept it,
Secretary Wilson quarantined Mich
igan last Tuesday night and the De-
troit papers Wednesday morning were
full of it, yet the bureau of animal in
dustry here knew nothing about it rs
late as Wednesday afternoon, and
Michigan feeder buyers got a surprise
when railroads refused to load their
stuff
Railroad officials have either lost
their heads. are running quarantine
of their own, or federal officials are
"off their trolley" Somebody is to
blame for an aggrevating and money
losing set of conditions.
A band of feeders that left here last
Thursday for point in New York was
refused admission to that state at

Thanksgiving with their daughters, at
the home of Professor and Mrs. r. Is.
Wylie.
The preparations for the annual corn
contest in this city, to be held from
Jan. IL to 16, inclusive. are going on
With energy and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The farmers are practically thru with
corn husking, and a considerable num-
Der have already signified their wish to
form an organization that shall be
able to hold an institute each year
and thus take advantage of the offer
by the state of pecuniary aid in that
line, as we'll as to educate themselves
in q way to increase their returns
from the corn crop for all time to come.
The Business Mems association is MAX
ing every effort to cooperate with the
farmers in attaining this desirable re-
suit and are now preparing the list of
premiums for the coming corn display.
This list will be much larger and more
varied than for any year before, and
there will be good and competent lee
turers here during the entire week. The
exhibit is expected to attract the atten-
ton and insure the attendance of 4
large number of the residents of the
city, as well as those from the farms
A domestic science department will be
added as soon as possible, and may be
in operation to some extent this year
The National Sales company, who
bought out the hardware stock on
al
the same, have made the announcement
that the sale closes on Dec. 1, and that
the room will then be vacated. 1t is
quite generally rumored on the street
that the S. S. Partlow, who has been
in the restaurant business here quite
extensively, and is now running res
taurant in Marshalltown. will open up
the most extensive establishment of
the city, in the room just about to be
vacated.
President Main, who returned from
his eastern trip last Wednesday, re-
ports that the prospects for the COM
pletion of the endowment fund by the
close of the present year, which is the
time limit, are very good and that there
is little serious doubt of it's accom-
plishment.
At the meeting last week of the Wo-
mans Home Missionary union of this
city, at the Congregational church,
Mrs. C. H. Horn on behalf of the So
ciety, paid very fitting tribute to the
memory of Mrs. Rose G.. Gard, recent
y deceased, who had been an earnest
working member and a valued and be-
loved officer Of the society.

Until the foot and mouth disease is

ises to be continued small demand for
feeding cattle Pennsylvania always af-
fords a big outlet for stock at this time
of the year and with that source of
demand eliminated the trade naturally
is in poor shape. Sellers advise own
ers of thin stock to market such very
conservatively in thd near future, as
the chief demand from states wherein
movement of stock is unhampered by
quarantine regulations, for medium to
good grade feeding steers.
Outlook for all but the strictly prime
steers does not favor q very healthy
market again next week and traders
are urging very moderate receipts.
Feeders who may wish to visit the in
ternatonal show had best leave at
home steers which are not in good
marketable shape. There may be a big
run of this stuff and If heavy sup
plies should materialize prices can not
but go still lower. With the prime
steers the situation is different. There
should be a good export call for prime
beeves for the English Christmas trade
and likewise a good demand for these
grades from packers and shippers.

Defieif and Salary Increases.
The deficit of s16,91O,27S.99 is the
largest in The history of the postoffice
department. The increase in the rev.
enuss of the fiscal year 1906, was s1o,-
652222.62, or 9.22 per cent The fiscal
year 1908 showed an increase in re-
ceins over 1907 Of $7,S93,657.84, or 4.29
percent.
The increases authorized by the con-
gress in the rate of pay to rural car
rien, postoffice clerks, railway mail
clerSs, etc, for the fiscal year 1908 over
the fiscal year 1907, as shown by the
report Of the auditor for the postoffiea
department, amounted to $9,S31.92.
Without these Increases in salaries the
defdt would have been but $32O,925.69
mon than the previous year.
Hthe usual percentage of Increase
in receipts had been maintained, the
revsiue in 1908 would have exceeded
that in 1907 by $17,110,122.51. This
sum added to the total revenue OF 1900,
woul have amounted to $20O,695, 12S.Os.
whit represents revenue the depart
men would probably have secured but
for The intervening financial depres-
sion With these receipts there would
hau been deficit of s7,656,75S.o7, but
