The case of w. J. Neuman and the Town of Nogales vs. the Noga les Water Company, came to trial in the district court Tuesday. and there was considerable interest manifested. Mir. Neuman applied to the court for an order to compel the water company to install two meters to measure water supplied his tenants. One was for seven houses on East street; the other for the building in which is his photo- graph gallery, wherein is sub ten ant, conducting store. Judge Nave held that in construing the ordinance there must be some unit to apply in defining consumer, and he made that unit the build ing, whether occupied by one or more consumers. Under that rul- ing the meter asked for the seven cottages on East street was refused but one was ordered in the photo graph gallery building. Defendant gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, April 3, 1908.- Cattle receipts were again liberal this week, 42,000 head, and 5eca use of the uncovering of so manY more cattle than had been counted on prices have declined 10 to 30 cents for the week, greatest loss on heavy steers. Lighter supplies are ex
 pected next week, and as the de- mand continues to be good, re- covery in the market is counted on. Top steers sold at $700 on different days this week, and bulk of steers at $6.10 to $G75, fed Colo rados at $6.40 to $670, hay fed steers, medium quality, $5.25 to $5.45, stockers $4 50 to $5.15, feed> CTS $4.S0 to $550, cows $3.75 to $5.25, these prices being paid for cattle direct from the range coun- try. Top fed heifers here this week brought $6.70, with few steers in- cluded. The temporary weakness in fed stuff this week held timid buyers of stockers and feeders off, and those classes are closing the week little dull Development of pastures, and a recovery of the beef cattle market will likely stim- ulate this trade in the near future
 Sheep have held steady this week, but lambs lost 25 cents first three days. The supply has been light here this week, 22,0O0 head, de- crease of 10000 from last week. The break in prices was altogether on account of weakness elsewhere, as not enough to satisfy the demand arrived here this week, and lambs have recovered 10 to 15 cents of the loss in the last two days. Top lambs today sold at $790, 85fb and 70fb lambs brought the same price yesterday, common lambs, $7 .25 to ST 30, feeding lambs $7.00 to $7.25.

~ WHEELaARRoW IN CHINA.
Two Passengers Go 20 Miles . Day
for Ten Cents Each.

Probably more freight and more
passengers are transported In China
by the wheelbarrow than by any other
land method. The wheelbarrow used
In China differs from that used in
America in the fact that the wheel is
set in the center and thus supports
practically the entire load, while the
handles are supported in part by a
strap or rope over the shoulders OF
the man who operates it.
AS q result the coolie in China will
transport nearly half a ton on his
wheel. Wheelbarrows are much used
in the country where the roads are
but little developed. and l have heard
that passengers sometimes make the
entire trip from Shanghai to Picking. a
distance Of coo miles. by barrow.
A two-passenger barrow will make
about 20 miles a day, and the coolie
Is content with pay OF about 20 cents
a day, or an average Of about half
cent q mile for each passenger.
On the level. wellkept streets Of
the foreign quarters of such cities as
Hongkong, Shanghai and Picking the
wheelbarrow coolie will struggle along

not but rejoice at the hip yoke, which
has appeared in Paris and which is
being rapidly adopted elsewhere. The
hip yoke is very deep and it fits the

is a circular skirt. is fastened to 1t In
such a manner that it shows the slight

trimming must also be severe. One OF

NEW SHORT COATS
COPY THE STYLE, OF THE Ar.
TiSTic LINEN OUsrcRS.
Comfortable for Outings and for Cool
Weather Days - One Seen
Trimmed with Bright Red
Turkey Cotton.

Young girls at the summer resorts
have copied the artistic linen busters
in short straight coats. to be worn for
outings and for cool weather days.
They have also gone down the line
until they have reached the chi!dren's
department, where brilliant effects
with the natural color as the founda'
tioa have been worked out.
One young girls coat made OF an
extra coarse grade Of rough linen is
trimmed with bright red turkey cotton.
1t is single breasted. cut OF few
inches below hips. is fastened with
army buttons and has immense revers
running from shoulder to hem Of the
material with q twoinch binding OF
turkey red.
There Is high military collar Of the
material with wide. sweeping turn
over Of red, and the sleeves. which
reach 70 the wrist. have four-inch
gauntlet cuffs of linen with wide bind
ing Of the crimson.
There are four pockets. two deep
ones below the waist with wide red
flaps fastened with gilt buttons. and
two small ones at the bust without
flaps.
A very clever little coat for a little
girl was made up Of this rough linen
in empire effect with box-plaited
back. single-breasted in front and
three capes cut circular and running
to the high waist line in points back
and front
Two Of these were of the linen. but
the center one was of bright apple
green. There was high turnover
collar on this made of the green, tied
in front with a rosette and ends Of
bright green taffeta ribbon four inches
WIDE
Under the arms around the figure
was q narrow green leather belt run
through slides Of natural linen. and
fastened in front with a slender buckle
Of green kid.
There has been an immense revival
this season OF old.fashioned wash net,
both in the narrow widths called foot
ing, and In the wide all-over pieces,
which come perilously near mosquito
netting.
1t is used for trimming, for frocks.
for shirtwaists and for hats. 1t Is not
expensive, it goes to the wash as
easily as muslin, and, what is more to
the point, comes home looking as
well. -
Those who suffer from the heat
have gone in for this sheer fabric for
morning shirtwaists instead Of mus.
lin or madras.
, These are made Of the all-over va
rfety, which takes little to make into a
plated blouse To see q woman wear
ing one on a hot day is as cooling a
sight as q lump Of ice.
They are made with box plaits from
shoulder to waist and groups Of tiny
tucks between. The material Is so
thin that this folding of it does not
add to the heat or the weight.
The only outside trimming used Is
bit Of good cluny lace to make one OF
the wide turnover collars, which are
worn down on the neckband, or up at
the edge of q twoinch Foundation
