Henry Mix came down from
Scott county the front end of the
week to help John Altman har-
vest. He tells of a heavy rain
last week in Scott county where
in ID inches of rain fell in three
minutes with drops as big as
gallon buckets. Many man
would have stretched the truth
in case like this, but Henry
does not like to deviate from the
truth.
N. H. Giffin, John Loser and
Elihu Altman were circulating
petitions for bond election for
the new railroad. They report
that they were successful in get
ting the required number of
names The citizens of this
neighborhood have done without
a railroad for a long time and
would be glad of a chance to haul
their wheat down hill instead of
up grade. The bonds are but a
small part of the cost Of the road
and would be more than paid
back in the shape of taxes long
before they are due. There is
an argument being advanced
that the railroad would be built
without bonds; perhaps so. Per
haps the resources of the coun-
try will have advanced in twenty
years to such an extent that the
railroad could be built without
the help of bonds, but all the old
chronic kickers that object to the
bonds by that time will be dead
and will not have the satisfaction
of saying II told you So" It is
our opinion that if we expect to
enjoy. the benefits of a railroad
we had better do what we can
for them. Get the road, then
send competent men to the legis-
lature and compel 'em to be good.

Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Tues
day, June 80, 1908.
All cattle except the best fed
grades declined Is to 40 cents
last week, she stuff getting most
of the loss. The run was not ex-
cessive anywhere, but killers
claim the meat situation is bad
and are disposed to lower the
price on medium grades. The
same unsatisfactory conditions
are in force this week and prices
are off Is to 25 cents yesterday
and today, including top kinds.
The run in two days amounts to
$4,000 head, of which $4,000 head
arrived today, and this total is
greater than the run here during
the whole of last week. Demands
for this big concession have been
fought hard by sellers, resulting
in the slowest market in many
weeks the last two days. A big
run of quarantine cattle is now
appearing at all the markets and
this feature will be the main
bear weapon of the buyers
through July, during which
month bulk of the southern stuff
will be marketed. Medium and
low grade southern steers are
selling almost at recent COW
prices, which makes slow trade
in she stuff in the native division
Top native steers sold at $500
yesterday and at 81 go today, with
fed stuff from $3.50 up, and Kan

If you worry yourself to death
