Since the withdrawal OF Assistant

ton has been rife as to whether or
not there would be any other en-

far no announcements Fhave come,

1t has been literally rumorad that

there was much basis for the rumor.

the situation a. rather interesting

A Short Sermon.
clarity Journal.)

We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front Of our
office the other day. His mustache had
Just begun to sprout and Judg-
ing from appearances his men
tai faculties were not as well
developed as his mustache. During our
brief stay on earth we have seen many
just such young men cold in death.
We have seen the atheist at rest In his
casket, but before being consigned to
their last resting place they have all
been carried thru the doors of
church and had prayers said for
them This young man could scof
at religion in his strength and beauty
of health, but if the dark angel should
get after him The would instinctively
regret what he had said and look into
the future with fear and trembling.
When one stands before the open door
of eternity his desire to scott at re-
ligion vanishes We admit that there
are bad men in church, but even these
black sheep in the flock might be
bhacker If they were outside. NO
young man, or old either, should con-
denim the noble efforts the army of
christian men and women are making
toward lettering the condition of
things. and whether we attend church
or not but few of us would desire to
live In a comm unity where there was
no church. -. ,-.s.-.---......,.-

Steady Tone in Other Offerings
OF Meagre Cattle Receipts
Today
HOGS ADVANCE 5 TO 10 TODAY
There Was Good Demand From Ship
per. in That Market, and Packers
Also Were Fair Purchasers-Lambs
in Best Demand in That Market,
But Sheep Also Steady.

Chicago, July 10-Cattle-The major
portion Of the meagre receipts consist
ed of Texans. No prime native steers
were on sale. Butcher stuff was
Choice steers were scarce and there
was not much demand for the COM
mon and medium. Eastern buyers are
behind their last weeks purchases,
but still they have bought fair pro-
portion Of the receipts. All buyers
are complaining of the difficulty in
getting rid of the beef because the
public thinks it is too high.
The market stands worse than a
week ago for the bulk of cattle below
choice. A good many Texas cattle
were received this week and they
helped to weaken the market for the
common to medium class of natives.
Exporters were not buying to
amount to anything yesterday, and, in
fact, ALL this week their orders have
been light The London market has
taken hard tumble lately and that
has discouraged operations from this
side.
On good demand from shippers,
prices advanced SOLO cents. Packers
We're fair purchasers.
When good hogs show the most
decline and the less favored stuff
is more firm it is sure indication
that quality is ON hand in good guam
tity Receipts have kept up literally
which is an index of the fact that hogs
accumulated during corn blowing are
still coming. All the hogs may not
be marketed from that stock for some
days. The buying power has come
mostly from brokers who act for the
packing interest and some short sales
are believed to have been covered
lately.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady, lambs being In
the best demand.
Supply here is running heavier than
last week, but the main trouble is in
the east. New York, dumping ground of
the country, has been demoralized by
southern and local stuff. Maine lambs
have been dumped into that market in
unexpected numbers, and when good
lambs can be bought there at $3.50
there is little demand from that source
here Southern lambs are fiocking east
and adding to the demoralization.S Some
of them come direct to packers here
and do not help any The principal de-
pressing influence. however has been
lack of demand for dressed mutton In
the east
