decorate the border Of the quilt Usual
ly 1t is made in long green stems, ter.
minating each petal Of the flower be-
Ing a loop Of the ribbon caught at the

Kansas Men Larger.

DrummerS are an interesting set OF
fellows and every time any of them
strike town they unwind many little
interesting storyettes that relieve the
tedium of the days. says the Arkansas
City Traveller. The latest story to
emanate from the fertile brain of a
drummer is that the men of Kansas
are bigger than in any other state in
the Union, taking them man for man.
This salesman in question represents
an Eastern clothing manufacturing es-
Enlistment. His declaration that the
Kansas men are larger than those in
other states Is accounted for by his
own solution. He says the Kansas
men were all reared on the farms and
that their shoulder and chest develop
ments are greater than those Of the
males of other older states. He de-
.clared that width between shoulder
blades Of the average Kansan was
greater than that Of any other state
through which he travelled, and says
his house always sends more big
mems clothes" to the Sunfower state
than elsewhere.

A poor country demand was condu-
Give to dull trading at weak price
range. There were slim fresh receipts
and the volume of dealers stale hold
ing was not large, but still the market
ruled dull and weak thruout the day.
Offerings were mainly of a plain and
medium class and a few buyers who
had orders for good steers complained
that they could not find the right kind.
Bulk of the stuff in dealers pens con-
sisted of common light stockers and
medium kinds and these met particu-
larly poor demand from country buy

moved in fair season. but the supply
of these was so light as to prove small

An important Improvement is con-
stemplated, and considerable sum has
already been raised by subscription to-
wards it's accomplishment, by which
the road from Grinnell to Chester,
starting from Shows corner on the
east line of this city, will have some
of its excessive roughness of hill and
hollow ,eveled making it an easier and
pleasanter road for both hauling OF
loads and pleasure driving.
The present hot days and hot nights
are stimulating It to break the record

ORIENT TRADE J0LI[D
Transcontinental Roads Aban-
don Large Part Of Business
to the East
THEY CARRY OUT A THREAT
Mikadp's Ambition to Control Shipping
Trade of Pacific Said to Have Been
ReaIized-ship Owners Claim Loss
in acknowledgements of the Rail-
roads for Abandoning Field.

Chicago. July 29.-The trade of the
United States with the Orient, Aus
trala and New Zealand, amounting to
over $3.50, 900 annually, and of Cam
dealt a severe blow by the transcon-
tinental rlroads, which haye decided
to abandon a large portion of this bus
mess.
BY the same action the railroads
controlled by Edward H. Hartman,
James j. Hill, the BerWynd syndicate
and the Canadian government have
made it possible, it is asserted, for the
japanese government to realize speed
ily its ambition to become the master
of all the trade on the Pacific seas.
The Canadian Pacific, Great North
ern, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific.
Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line
and Santa t'e roads have served notice
upon the shippers thatthey will go out
of the export trade to China, Japan,
New Zealand and Australia Nov. L,
and practically will abandon the inn
port trade.
Peril Of Revenues.
In so doing the roads are carrying
out d threat which was made to the
interstate commerce commission at the
time that body issued what is known
as rule Sc. 1t is displeasure at this
rule and the belief upon the part of the
railroad managers that they cannot
comply with it except at the/ severe
peril of their revenues on domestic
business which caused them to aban-
don the oriental trade. The rule in
question requires the railroads to pub
lish the inland proportions of their i'm
port and export rates and as subse-
quently modified by the commission
not to change these rates under a
three days notice for lowering and a
ten days notice for an increase.
This action is taken by the shippers
to be severe blow not only to trade
relations between the oriental coun-
tries and the United States, but also
to an immediate revival of prosper
fty. To the transcontinental railroads
themselves it means the loss of be-
tween $3,0O0O00 and s4,000,000 revenue
annually. but this loss, it is declared,
is infinitessimal to that which would
threaten them if compelled to comply
with the order of the commission. 1t is
stated that one effect of the abandon
ment of oriental trade thru the Pacific
coast ports will be the speedy aban-
donment of a number of the largest
oriental steamship lines.
1t is stated that the lines of steam
ers maintained by the Harriman~roads
thru the port of San Francisco, thru
the port of Seattle by the Hill lines
and thru Vancouver by the Canadian
Pacific road will soon be for sale and
that it is more than likely that the
Japanese viii ne the purchasers.
Boats Run at Loss.
These boat lines are run at loss
now and are maintained more with a.
view to trying to stimulate oriental
trade than for anything else. Were
it not that the loss occasioned by OPP
Grating them was somewhat compen-
stated by the revenue obtained by the

Benefit for Ball PLAYER.

Jewell, July 29.-Arrangements are
being made for a benefit game of base
ball to be played in this town at some
date in the near future, between Jewell
and Ellsworth, the proceeds to go to
Tony Stueland. member of the Jew
ell team. Stueland was unfortunate
in sustaining a broken leg in a game
played between the two teams at Ellis
worth OIL Monday of last week The
injury is one that will incapacitate him
from working for several weeks and
from playing ball probably for the rest
of the summer. Stueland is a fast ball
player, having been a member of the
Woodland semi-professional team of
two years ago. He was injured in the
game at Ellsworth in attempting to
slide to third base, sustaining break
of the bone of the left leg just above
the ankle.

force the natives into still poorer favor
as against the westerns of good quail
ity.
Hogs.
Good inquiry characterized the hog
trade, the best hogs selling 5 cents
higher. Scalpers and shippers were
the chief supporters, packers holding
off for lower prices.
With receipts continuing heavy at
this season of the year the outlook for
a sitter hog market seems to be rath-
er poor. While bulls are trying to ar
que that there has been no steady de-
probation in prices the fact remains
that prices are droopy.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady. and offerings
were not heavy.
AS an exception to the rule of dull
ness and lower prices in live stock the
sheep market has been holding its own
with considerable vigor and prices
have been firm to higher. While the
markets in the east have been demor-
allied by gluts, there is no such condi-
ton in effect here and the outlook
seems to be good.
