WEST SHOW HERE SEPT. Z

The biggest show on earth is the
way X. NJ. Harvey, an old-time news
paper man and in advance of the
Buffalo Bill Wild West show, put 1T
today to The Sentinel man, as he
gave in detail to him the fact that
the show will appear in this city on
Monday, September Labor day.
Mr.. Harvey was here three years
ago in advance OF the Barnum-Bai-
ley combination and has quite a few
old-time friends in this city whom
he always manages to take time to
visit when in this city.
Mr.. Harvey made arrangements
today with the city officials to ap-
pear in the city, and he says that he
believes that the people will be more
interested in the big Buffalo Bill
show than any show that has ever
been here.
Mr.. Harvey knew A. C. Newton
when he wasQa residenr of Iowa. and
this afternoon he drove to the New
ton ranch on First Fruit ridge to see
just how a newspaper man looks in

DEATH
OF YOUNG WOMAN
Especial to The Sentinel.)

y
Nisalia, CAL, July 2O.-News of
the second tragic death within
month among visitors spending their
summer vacation climbing the noun
tains of the high Sierras. reached
here when the body of Miss Grace
Barnett, a graduate of the Universi-
ty of California and head of the art
department in the Berkeley high
school, was brought in after two
days journey on a pack mule.
Miss Barnett fell over a precip!ce
in Kingsriver canon and was dashed
to instant death in the chasm hun
dreds of feet below.
A companion narrowly escaped the
same fate.
The place where Miss Barnett was
killed is remote from railroad and
telegraph communication, and the
first news of the accident was re-
ceived when the body of the young
woman was brought in after the
greatest difficulty.
The death of Miss Barnett brought
to a tragic end the summer outing
of the Sierra Club, of which she
was member. The club spends its
annual outing in the Sierra noun
tains in some part of the state, and
includes in its membership the prin-
cipal professors and some of the
most prominent men and women in
the state. A large number of the
members of the club were with Miss
Barnett at the time of the accident
and they recovered the body after
much perilous climbing and hours OF
dangerous work.
Within a short distance of where
the young woman met her death Ken.
meth Archibald, a San Francisco ar
chitect and graduate of Cornell, on
an outing with several companions
left camp three weeks ago, and has
not been seen since. He has been
given up for dead. 1t is believed
that he lost bis footing and slipped
over the brink of some precipitous
cliff and fell into one of the many
deep canons that abound in the
mountains.

MOST UNIQUE FOREST
Use OF LIGHTNING RODS

To the unenligh tened and dnpre-
pared mind a forest of growing
lightning rods might seem a nature
fake of the most fragrant sort. a de-
scription of which should be charac-
terized by the shortest and most ugly
of terms; but there are scores of
residents in portion of Phillips
county. Kans., who stand ready to
testify that such a grove does actu-
ally exist.
The lightning rods are not of the
familiar, corkscrew type, but are
found in "A forest of elm trees grow
ing over a copper deposit. Each tree
in the forest has become so impreg-
mated with copper. which 1t has

is now so popular for libraries and

nearly all with Traer Traer used
one handed pitcher, and he was very
popular This was hot game and
much money changed hands on the
result. Traer brought their band with
them, and stayed over to play Glad
brook today. "A large crowd came
with these teams, and they rooted to
their limit. This game was played IN
seventy minutes. Following this came
the Gladbrook- Parkersburg game,
which was won by Parkersburg. Until
the ninth inning, Gladbrook led by a,
score of to 0, but in the ninth the
Gladbrook pitcher weakened and Park
ersburg ran in seven scores. Gladbrook
played a much better game, except in
the one inning. This morning, Wells
burg was to play New Hartford, and
in the afternoon Gladbrook was to play
Traer, and Grundy, Parkersburg. Last
evening the Traer and Grundy bands

steers, have been improving factors
Butcher cattle, however, are weak, and

| Keen demand for the good to choice
natives, in face of the liberal market
| ing, has emphasized a broader demand
for beef all around. Scarcity of the top
grades in corn belt feed lots is becom-
ing more apparent each week, and
since the big rains two weeks ago put
pastures in better shape there is less
desire among cattle owners to liquidate
the grassers. Results are smaller sup
plies of grassy natives and better
| demand for those coming. A bullish att
titude has been once more assumed by
the sellers and nowadays there are
predictions of still higher prices for
natives, and also a better level for
westerns in a short time are heard on
all sides.
Hogs.
Good shipping demand and light re-
ceipts gave a sudden and sharp boost
to prices. prime shipping going to 81.
There was also an active quest on the
part of packers for the mixed and
packing grades. and scalpers were in

Packers claim that they are selling
January product on a basis Of 6sc
hogs. They do not believe that there
will be a run Of hogs that will enable
packers to buy them to make profit
at those prices. Hogs coming are not

Provision specialists figure that ex-
! port sales of lard here in the last three
days aggregate over 10000 ties, sales
yesterday being 1000 ties, in addition
to Tvs, 5000 lbs loose lard that has been
sold The latter brought 321ac under

believe the reports of export business
and say it was made at concessions,
while those who are friendly to the
buying side argue that it makes no

or not, so long as the stuff is moved
out of the country and stocks reduced
Sheep
The market was steady. Values are
somewhat lower than at the close OF
last week.
The August run to date is about co.
900 in excess of last year, which means
that marketing has been on a free scale.
Shipping trade has nearly doubled this
week, owing to a larger available sup
ply of feeding lambs and yearlings, but
the countryward movement is still
deficient, compared with that of year
ago.
