stockers and Fseders.

Demand for high-class feeding cat
tn has been strong since the first of
the year, and most of the time it has
been difficult to fully supply the de-
mand The great majority of buyers
wanted cattle with good breeding and
with a good show Of flesh, figuring
that it was cheaper to buy the weight
than to put it on with high priced. corn.
So general has been the. demand for
steers of this class that values have
been pushed up to a high limit; in
fact, to a point which some think is
dangerously high, tho that, of course,
depends on future developments. If the
cattle market goes up as it did a year
ago the buyer of cattle now at s5@5.40
will have good chance to get out with
big profit, but, on the other hand.
If fat cattle refuse to advance materi-
ally the finisher Of high-priced feeders
will have to figure very carefully.

MANY FARMERS PETITION.
For Dismissal Of Drainage Matters
Pending in Cerro Gordo.
Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republlcan.
Mason City, March 11.-Over fifty
farmers are petitioning for the dismiss
sal of matters pending before the board
Of supervisors, with regard to the pro-
posed Crane creek drainage district.
This district will cost about $4,000 for
development, and will include about g.,
500, thus costing the landowners about
s13 an acre. They say that this is too
expensive. In this demonstrance they
also claim that the proposed ditch
would drain much and not included in
the district, and therefore not bur-
dened with payment for It's constuc-
ton. Already about $1.5C0 has been
spent in preliminary work, and the re-
monstrants ask that the proposition be
dismissed without expense to them
selves. Four men originally petitioned
for the ditch.

A short time ago the lightweight.
cheap cattle were the most popular
and those who had the big weighty
finished steers claimed they were not
getting enough to pay out. Now the

that such condition is due mainly to
the fact that the large steers are

Love makes the world go round, but
it's revenge that makes it get
square.
AS a general thing man is only
ready to turn over a new leaf when
the old one is full.
When a fellow proposes to a girl
in a cab he probably feels that he is
doing the hanson thing.
1t is perhaps better to hitch your
wagon to star than to trust too i'm
plicitly to an automobile.
Some men make more noise doing
a days work than other men do in

earning a living he should bend all his

proper regulation of all of the large
public service corporations of the state
is not question which can be satis-
factorily handled by the cities in
which many Of them have their head
quarters. Most Of these corporations
extend their activities beyond the con-
fines of the cities where their chief Of
f1ces and plants are located. Many of
them operate in two, three and more
cities. The question of their proper
and uniform regulation, a regulation
that would be as fair to the companies
as 1t would be to the people they
serve, is therefore too big one for
each individual city to handle in it's
own way. The confusion and injus-
tice that would result from such a
method of procedure is difficult to
contemplate.
The "home rule" agitators in this
regard are a good deal like those pub
licists who are ever and anon insist
ing that state rights are being abro-
gated by the federal government in its
efforts to regulate the railroads and
the large corporations doing an inter-
state business. It is generally con-
ceded now that these questions have
become too large for the states to
therefore for the United States gov
ernment to step in. Exactly the same
condition of affairs prevails in the reg
ulation of the public service corpora
tions within a state. This matter can
not be handled in the best possible
way by the cities themselves. There
fore, 1T is the province of the state to
do the work. This has been demon
strated in New York and Wisconsin.
The killing of the public utilities
legislation by this session of the leg
1slature is only of a temporary char
acter. The question is a live one that
will grow more vigorous as the people
become better acquainted with it. The
demand for 1t will be so great two
years hence that new legislature will
heed it. Like other good things it is
bound to come, even if it is a little
slow in the coming.

nnel With Wax Bullets.

In the presence of a score of mem
bers of the New York Athletic club,
a duel with pistols took place last
night, in the gymnasium, between one
of the members and James Murray,
the fencing instructor, who recently
brought from Paris pair OF "a
caliber French dueling pistols and
some composition wax bullets and fuse
cartridges Each of the principals
donned a black robe and adjusted
wire head mask, fitted with an oblong
piece of thick plate glass, to protect
the eyes, nose and mouth.
All the conditions of genuine duel
were in evidence, and the scene was
strikingly realistic. At a signal the
two men, back to back, stepped out
ten PAGES, and then, facing about, took
deliberate aim at each other ana
fred. One bullet struck the left side
of the members headpiece, and the
other hit Murray over the small ribs
on the right side, causing him to
finch ever so little at the moment OF
the impact
Several of the members then tried
their skill with the pistols, which nave
a light steel shield inclosing the hand
and the trigger guard, to protect the
hand from a shot coming toward the
shooter. 1t is the intention to intro
duce pool matches with duel1ng pls-
tolls loaded with these wax bullets, the
invention of M. Deviller.-New YORK
