CATTLE RUN SHORT
 BUT PRICES LOWER

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. G. The cattle supply last week was 4i,. 900 head, against 55,60O same week last year, but the market did not make any recovery on account of the moderate run; prices were uneven during the week, and the close was possibly a shade under the close of the previous week. Run is 1000 head here today, including 2000 calves. Market steady to 10 lower. All the markee are liber ally supplied today, which, together with the hot weather VIC are having, is against any urgent demand on the part of buyers. Grass cattle, of course form big bulk of receipts, best heavy grass steers selling at $500 to s5.60, medium weight and lighter steers s3.75 to si.75, grass cows t2.5O to $50, most of the panhandle cows iast week at s3.O0 to s3.20, bulls $40 to s3.5O, veal calves s525 Co s6.25. Trade in country grades cleaned up the supply last week, market about 70 cents un. der the previous week. Prices are steady to 10 lower today, with more stockcrs and feeders in the receipts than any day heretofore this season, stockers mainly at 1925 to si.25, feed. CTS $400 to $4.60, few on either side of these figures.
 Sheep and lamb receipts last week were 10000 head, market stronger each day during the week. The Lawson Utah wethers sold at A4.35 last Thurs. day, and Texas muttons brought $40 on Friday. Run is 5000 here today, market steady to weak, with several lots of Utahs and Arizonas included, the Utan stuff today only medium qual. ity, at s4.O0 and s4.20, Arizona ewes s4.25, Arizona spring lambs, 66, at s6.20. A good share of the receipts for the last several weeks have been natives, but this run is about over. and range stuff, mostly from Utah and the northwest, will form the bulk of the supply after this week. Top spring lambs today brought s6.25, and stock and feeding sheep bring 1925 to $4.oo.

'BIsBEE WRECKED
 BY cLoUpBURsr

Bisbee was visited by a rain and cloudburst Tuesday afternoon that did between sl5,OO0 and s20,OOO damage 10 property, wrecked the postofiice, swampcd the stores and saloons on the south side of Main street from Anguis store down, swashed the sewer and gas pipes and cut roads and streets in scores of places with gullies five feet deep. It will be a week before the postoiiice will be in systematic workirg order again, though mails will be dis. patched this morning. A cloudbur and landslide from the mountain side back of Main street was the cause of the damage to that side of the street. The storm damage was the worst in the past eight or ten years.
 The most striking feature of the storms work was the piling up of a mountain of boulders and silt at the rear of the business houses on the south side of Main street. Competent en- giners estimate that the mass mus contain at least 1900 to 2OO0 tons, and that it will require in the neighborhood of seventy.fve ear loads to haul t away. The whole mass was piled up by the water in less than ten minutes time.
 Two of the postoilice girls, Miss Cla' ra Larden and Miss Katherine Barr, narrowly escaped death by drowning, while all of them were in danger of their lives when the boulders began 10 crash through the windows into toe building. Chas. Brandon and Mexi' can who took refuge in a nose house near the Czar mine were both badly bruised about the head and body by the house being knocked over by .he falling stones.

NO THANKS TO THE KING
 FROM OLD WHITE HORSE
From Wednesdays Daily,


 The king of wurtenberg is not the most widelyknown of European mon archs, but he is good fellow and very popular among his handful of sub. Jccts. That he has sporting blood in ms veins was attested recently when nc made voyage in Count Zcppelne s airship.
 The king is fond of motoring and the speeding" did not pass nim by. One day, in company with the Grand Duke Adolphus of Mecklenburg, he was violating his own laws along one of the highways of his domain. Sud. denly, upon rounding curve, they saw directly ahead a peasant and his wife seated in cart Co which was a.. tached a big white morse. The king brought the machine to A stop and, with the Grand Duke, jumped to the ground. The peasant and his wife dii not even look at them but calmly watched the horse, which appeared to be struggling to rise. The royal pair went to the animals assistance and finally managed to get him upon his feet. Then, handing the peasant a gold piece, the King said
 "You may tell your friends that the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg go. your horse up, and that the King of wurtemberg helped him.'
 If the king expected the peasant ,o be impressed, he was doomed to disap. pointment. "There was room to pass by, wasn't theref' he asked.
 "why, yes," the king answered, but we saw your horse was down and thought VIC would lend hand"
 "well, you needn't have bothered, ' said the peasant. "He always lies down when he hears one of those cursed motor cars coming, and gets up without any help after it has gone by"
 And the peasant whipped up the old white horse, leaving the king and grand duke, mouths a.gap. in the mid. de of the road.

W. B. HAYES TOOK
 POISON TO END TROUBLES

W. B. Hayes, the mining assayer wnose body was found on Tuesday last in a Los Angeles lodging house, where Hayes took cyanide of potassium with suicidal intent, was we'll known in Prescott and the adjacent mining camps, where he followed his profes- sion for some months before he left here in July last. He had been em ployed at different times at the Moni' ca, Riehenbar and Dunkirk mines, where he was well liked and his abil ity as an assayer recognized. He was n young man of fine education, but reticent as to his antecedents.
 The body was found by Mrs. A. F.. yincon, keeper of the lodging house at l07h South Broadway, where Hayes had room. Hayes, or Hanson, as he was known in Los Angeles, had not removed his clothing. In the room was found the following note;
 August 3, c p. m.
 "Coroncr, Los Angeles, Cal: Dear Sir-No one at all is responsible for this action of mine. Just tired of it all, is my reason for taking this short cut to the great by the K. Cy. route.
 "If the wishes of q pauper may be of avail, kindly place these poor re- mains of mine in an unmarked grave in the potters' field. Thanking you be- forehand for the trouble l am occa- sioning you, l beg to remain, yours truly, w. E. HANSON
 On bureau in the room was found bottle containing the poison. IL had been opened and portion of the con tents removed. It was a stock bottle, the kind known to druggists and chem ists as the original package, and is nev' CT sold over the counter to the public. This fact caused the police to believe that the dead man was either pre- scription clerk or an assayer. There was no baggage found in the room and the linen worn by the dead man con tained no marks by which the body could be identified.

From "Wednesday bhlly)
 The Arizona Board of Public Health in its quarterly bulletin issued August l, says:
 "This is the season when bowel trou' blc among children is prevalent. Treat if by preventing it. See that the cnild's food is clean. Frequently the bacteria do more harm to the food than they do to the child, the changed food load with toxins causing the trOu- ble. Keep up the war of extermina' ton against the fly. .
 "Childron from six months to two years of age spend much of taeir timo playing on the floor. Examinations made by Pressich and Schutz of 66 ba' bies showed 2l.2 per cent had Tubercle bacilli in the dirt of the nails. Yet these children lived in families having no tuberculosis.
 "During this time the child is teeth ing. Frequently its fingers are in its mouth. The remedies naturally sug gest themselves. Keep the floor clean or spread something clean on the floor for the baby to play on. Trim the nails short. See that the dirt is removed from beneath the nails. Disinfcct the house occasionally whether there has been sickness or not The house grad ually becomes full of bacteria, being carried by groceries, dust, flies, trailing skirts, etc.

HARDIN, THE TENNESSEE TO
BACCo GROWER MEETS WITH
REBUFF FROM GIRL.
CALLS AT HER HOME
Miss Crafts Spurns Her lnsistent
Suitor and He Leaves the
State for His Native
Haunts.

Keosauqua, July 10. Especially
Arriving in the city on the 6 D.. m.
Rock Island train from Ottumwa,
where he became well known by a ro-
nance in which a young lady of this
vicinity, Miss Eta Crafts, was a
principal figure, Thomas Jefferson
Jonathan Wilbur Hardin, late of Cum
berland Cit. Tenn, where he is said to
have a large tobacco plantation, came
TO search out his elusive sweetheart.
Hardin upon arriving here was clad
in a cream colored soft shirt, wore
mouse colored corduroy trousers, sup
ported by ~suspenders and a belt. A
broad brimmed black felt hat cover
cred his head and while a slightly far
away look cleaned from his bright
eyes, there was apparent an impa-
tience in his manner as if apprehen-
sive of something going to happen.
Going to the stable of a local livery
man, Hardin said he wanted to secure
q conveyance to the Crafts farm
about four miles from the city. The
liveryman, having read something of
the adventures of Hardin during his
%sojourn in Ottumwa, asked Hardin if
he was a relative of the Crafts girl
that was recently married. At
this question Hardin immediate.
ly looked serious and wanted
to know if the girl really did get mar
ried, to which the liveryman answer
ed he supposed SO as he had read of
her intended marriage to a man
named Hardin, but was not sure of
the marriage. WELL" said Hardin,
Il reckon she didn't, because 1 am
the man she is going to marry and
just came down to marry her"
Hardin was quite confused as to the
kind of a rig to hire, not knowing
whether he should take a buggy or a
carriage, finally deciding on the for
mer. A driver was given the reins
and together the two started for the
Crafts farm, where they arrived at
1890. What happened. when the
would-be groom met his would-be
bride will perhaps never be known.
Suffice it to say a stormy interview
ensued in which it is said that Miss
Crafts said she had never seen Har.
din and demanded the letter he claim.
to have from her. Depressed in spirit
after his interview, Hardin came back
to K~eosauqua, where he spent the
night, and driving to Mt. Zion at S
a. M, took the early morning train
to Keokuk, from where he stated to
the driver of the rig. he would &c
back to his farm in Sunny Tennes.
