Carrying It to Extremes.

Once postcarditis gets it's fingers on a man it never lets go. Instead. it's clutch grows stronger and stronger, until in the end it is insiduously mas terful over him as any other habit. Take the case of Rudford BIinkum as an example.
 One year ago he began by mailing a postcard to a friend. Within a week he was seeking excuses to send post cards. He ordered his clothing, his coal, his office supplies by postcard.
 As the habit became fixed. he aban- doned his vacation trip, and mailed postcards every day to the people he would have visited.
 And now he has stopped going to church. Instead, he mails a postcard. with a special delivery stamp on it. to his minister, so as to reach him Sun day morning.
 The final manifestation of the habit is to mail postcards to yourself MT Blinkum's family and friends are pric- ing strait jackets and getting rates of board by the Lonth from sana- toria.

13, 1909. Good rains over the greater portion of the Missouri Valley last week helped pastures and made plenty of stock water, facts which are having the effect of stringing the fall cattle run along in manner best calcula- ted to keep up prices. The good conditions of fall pastures makes the outlet to the country better also, still further limiting the number of cattle available for the killers, which keeps the fresh meat trade in healthy state. ! The run of cattle here today is i 24,OOO head, including 2,6OO calves, market strong on killing stuff, ten higher on stock and feeders, which puts tOday's pri- ces 10 to 35 cents above a week ago. The low grade steers get the least advance, and StOckers and feeders and choice fed steers the greatest gain. A string ol Old Mexicos, grazed ill Kansas, sold at s. .S5 today as scOmpared with some Ofthe same steers from same pasture a week ago at $3.75. Offerings from the range stayes are scarce, except from the panhandle country, from which section COWS are selling today at $2.75 to $3.5O, most fair to good cows around $3.2O, stOckers and feeders $3.65 to $4.35, beefsteers $3.5O to $4.5O, bulls $2.SO to $3.2O, calves $500 to SITS. Calves declined 25 to 50 cents last week. Beef steers from Colo radO are selling at $425 to $4.75, Utah cows Friday at $3.35, heif CTS $4.OO, New Mexico stOckers today at $2.75 to $4.OO.
 The market on sheep and lambs advanced substantially last week lambs getting the greatest gain, 40 to 50 cents, sheep 15 to 25 cents higher. Inquiry for stock and feeding grades was stronger last week and the call for breed. ing ewes was especially urgent
 The volume of receipts is running below this period a year ago, which accounts in part for the strength, although the market is off 10 cents today on a supply of 1000 head, the adverse senti- meht today caused by unfavor- able reports from outside points. Utah lambs sold at $7.6O to $7. so for bulk of offerings late last week, top today at $7.65, Nevada lambs today at $7.25, ewes $500.

country and that their skill is respon-
siole for their present arrest
The New York detectives declared
Burke had been mixed up In the kill
ing of Policeman Brennan In New
York In the late SOS for which crime
Handsome Harry" Carlton was la
ter executed. but that they had never

Taft Favors Predecessors Land Fraud
policy, Says Garfield.

That President Taft is sincerely In
sympathy with the Roosevelt policies
in regard TO land frauds and forest
reserves was the confident declara-
ton of James X. Garfield. former sec
rotary OF the interior, in an address
before the Church club, Of the Epis.

NJ. C. A.. Thursday night. Discussion
OF Indian affairs took up part of tho
speakers time and he made the point
that the thing most necessary now is
10 compel the white men to give the
Indians a fair deal.
Conditions were particularly bad in
Oklahoma, he said, and the highest
officials in the state had conspired to
rob the Indians OF their lands. He de-
nounced Gov. Haskell for his part In
this. and declared that the federal
grand jury will clean up conditions In
the state.
Forest reservations and government:
control OF the headwaters Of the rivers
are an absolute necessity, in Garfield s
opinion. and he described the fight
being made by the government 10 re.
claim lands stolen by the railroads
and other private interests. Coal
lands had also been stolen in the same
way he asserted. but he felt confident
that President Taft will keep up the
fight for Justice.

Police Believe Woman Is Behi. d
Staying of Painter-Alarm is
Sounded for Friend of Victim.

ward solving the mystery OF the muir
der OF Samuel Bersin. a painter. OF
22l East Ninety-eighth-st.. whose dis
membered and headless body was
found In a bundle at the corner of
oliver and Henry-sts.. last night. The
head was found today under an arch
of the Brooklyn bridge by policeman
shortly after the body had been iden'
titled by Bersin's brother and sister.
While number OF arrests have been
made the police do not believe they
have the actual criminal and are work
ing on the theory that woman was
at the bottom of the Staying. One
hundred picked detectives are work
Ing on the case and Inspector McCai'
ferty, who is in charge. declared today
that he expects to have the mystery
solved before night.
The identification of the body was
made by means of laundry mark Oh
the shirt. The murderer or murder
ers. had been in such hurry to cut
up the body so that ii could be dis
posed Of that they had failed to re-
move any OF the clothing excepting
the coat and had cut through the legs
OF the trousers In cutting the logs
from the body. The laundry mark on
the shirt was traced to the American
Hand Laundry on, East Ninety eighth
St and the proprietor there recogniz-
ed IL as that Of Samuel Bersin
Bersin had lived on East Ninety.
eighth-st. with Solomon Kornbloom.
while his brother and sister lived az
No. $50 East One Hundred and First

According to his relatives Bersin
usually carried a considerable sum OF
money and two diamond rings, 4
heavy gold chain and silver watch.
None of these were found in the cloth.
ing. Joseph Totoro, the l6-year-old
boy who was given five cents by a
man TO watch the bundle containing
the dismembered body. has given the
police a description OF the man who
had them. He was about 35 years old,
heavily built. with Il dark complexion
and black mustach and wore a light
brown suit OF clothes. Ii is intimated
by the police that the description col
responds to friend of the dead man
and general alarm has been sent out
for this man.
An autopsy held today revealed that
Bersin was killed by being stabbed
several times In the chest. and 1t was
plain by a number OF superficial cuts
on the right hand and wrist that he
had put up a fight for his life.
