Oysters Roasted.

Allow four or five oysters for each
person. Drain them from the liquor
and look them over carefully to free
them from bits of shell. Place them
in buttered scallop shells, having as
many shells as individuals to be
served. Sprinkle with salt and pep
per, bits of butter, and one drop of
tabasco sauce to each shell. Place the
shells in a dripping pan and cook in
hot oven until the oysters are plump
and the edges curled. Garnish with
toast points and a little sprig of
parsley.
The oysters should be prepared but
not cooked until the guests are seated
at the table, as they cook very quick
ly and should be served Immediately

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions In Chicago Of Interest
To Iowa Producers.

Chicago, Feb. 18.
CATTLE-The cattle market closed
up in very good shape last week and
owing to the good feeling in the
trade, it caused a very heavy run to-
day and market with estimated re-
|ceipts of $4,000 ruled duh and lower.
Bulk of the steers on sale showed a
decline of 10c915c per cwt., while
butcher cattle ruled about steady.
We believe the heavy run and decline
in market will check receipts for the
balance of the week; however, we do
not think it advisable to market cat.
tie, unless you are forced to send
prices later on.
HOGS-Hog receipts today were es-
timated at $4,000. Market ruled
strong to sc higher on all grades. The
spectators and shippers were the
principal buyers. The packers held
[out and did not want to pay over
steady prices; however, they came
into line about &c higher than Satur.
day Shipping orders were very
good today, with the demand strong
for choice light weighing 100 to 200
lbs, with a good demand also for
choice butchers. Extreme top on
fancy butchers, $4.45; bulk of butch
ers around 4.35. with fair to best mix
ed $4.2564.30, with choice light $3.50
d435. Provision markets all ruled
lower and we figure on fair run the
balance of the week. The buyers are
discriminating against big coarse
heavy sows and stays ana shippers
will have to buy this class OF hogs at
a good wide margin.
SHEEP-Sheep market closed up
in fair shape last week; however, the
condition of the trade has not been
very satisfactory. Prices are some
lower than few weeks ago. Market
today opened about steady on sheep;
10c@l5c lower on lambs. However,
did not close in very good condition.
and as we have been advising you
right along, hold back sheep and
lambs in the country that are not
ready for market

A new POINT IN Law
Mahaska County Case Decided In
Supreme Court.

The supreme court of Iowa handed
down an opinion Saturday affirming
the decision of Judge B. w. Preston,
of this city, in the case of w. E. &
F. E. Vest VS.. Mrs. Hattie M. Kramer,
suit on account The points in the
controversy had never been fully COW
cred by supreme court decisions in
Iowa before and the outcome of the
case was watched with considerable
interest. Drs. Vest, of Montezuma.
rendered medical assistance to Chas
Kramer during his lifetime to the
amount of $3.50, and after his death
neglected to put in their claim. The
administrator settled the estate and
distributed the funds without setting
this bill Later the doctors, through
their attorney, John o. Malcolm,
brought suit against Mrs. Kramer, the
widow, to collect the amount of their
unpaid claim. Judge Blanchard de-
Tended the widow and contended that
as the bill was joint debt of the
husband and wife that it was cleared
up with the settlement of the estate.
Mr.. Malcolm interpreted the statutes
to authorize a party to sue either the
husband or wife, severally or collec-
lively, for ardoctor's bill and Judge
Preston decided in his favor, giving
Drs. Vest judgment against the
widow for $4,000 and costs. Mrs.
Kramer appealed to the supreme
court and that body affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court.
