Stock Market Letter

South Omaha, Nov. 29th, 1909
There WIS a fair run of cattle
here this week. The scarcity of
good killing steers caused a fairly
active trade in this division and
prices show little change from the
close last week. Good kinds of
COWS and heifers also held up we'll,
but the common and medium
kinds met a decline of 10 a. 15c.
Stockers and feeder received more
than their share of discrimination.
Weather conditions are bad at
this time, country men are not
ready for supplies for their rough
ness, and taken as a whole the
trade has been very unsatisfact-
Dry, with Is q 25c lower than
r week a ago. Good to choice

Deer Frozen In the River

One of the strangest things that
has happened for some time was
discovered by Jack Wagner last
week while he vas riding for cattle
along the Platte River at the I. M.
Conness ranch. While riding
close to the river he noticed two
coyotes standing on the ice about
the middle of the river. Not hav-
ing a gun, his first thought was to
go to the ranch house and procure
a rifle and return and try to kill
one of them, but thought they
would, in all probability be gone
before he came back, he rode slow
ly toward them. When he started
out upon the ice they a for the
willows and disappeared. He then
discovered that they had been
feasting upon a COW which was
frozen in the ice.
On looking around he saw what
he at first took to be some brush
stuck up thru the Ice, but on 60
ing to it he found that it was the
antlers of a large buck deer, hav-
ing five prongs, the deer had evid-
emily tried to cross the river aud
had been caught in the mush ice
and carried down to where the
river was blocked and on account
of the deep water which was nine
feet at this point, it could not get
out altho it had succeeded in get
ting one front leg out upon the
ice, but could not get farther and
become chilled to death.
Mr.. Wagner went home and
the next day, accompanied by
Henry Pantel, DIR. IRWIN and Mr..
Bashore returned and succeeded
in getting the frozen animal out.
The head is one of the finest ever
in this part of the country

Dramatize Hiawatha

Inc pupils of the Primary de-
partment of the public school
gave one of the finest dramatiza
tons of Hiewatha at the Presby-
terrain church last Saturday night
that we have ever seen. The
small men and women are just at
the age when they appear best in
public-not too shy and with just
enought confidence to do their
parts we'll. The evenings enter
tainment wound up with a repre-
%sentation OF the first Thanksgiving
dinner ever held, which took place
shortly after the arrival of the
White man.
Mable Mitwalsky as Nakomis
was excellent and she sang a cradle
song as she swung her little pa
poose back and forth on the bow
of a pine tree. Little William
Humphrey was the child Hiawatha
and Clarence Bates represented
the character at a later date.
Charlie Mitwalsky was the Ind
ian, Iagoo. Those who took a
prominent part, and to whom spe-
cial mention is due are Miriam
Pearson, Mary Huntington. Cry
stall Kelly, Regina Jensen, Eliza
beth Jensen, Marguerite Cornell,
Steve Micheal, Marie Fox, Olive
Fryer and Mary Morgan.
In the Thanksgiving dinner
scene the little ones surrounded a
table on the stage which was load
ed with good things. The children
ere all dressed in Puritan stvle,
and Fred Tichenor, Russell Hun
ter and James Lufkin had parts
in this phase of the entertainment.
10 Miss Andre We. the teacher
in the Primary department, is due
the great credit of drilling the
children and arranging the details
of the play She had arranged to
have some small pines brot down
from the saw mill but they were
forgotten. A. G. Huntington
took his team Saturday morn ing
and drove to the mountains, 16 or
Is miles, and brot down some trees,
without which, for the stage set
ing, the play would not have been
nearly SO nice. AS the day was
cold and stormy Mr.. Huntington
deserves great credit for his timely
assistance. Something like ST
was realized from the play which,
as in the case of the High School
entertainment, will be used to buy
pictures for the Primary room.

Miserable is the man or woman
who suffers from the dread Indiges-
tion or Dyspepsia. There are few
diseases which create suen misery,
long drawn-out suffering, as Indiges-
ton. It pursues them before meals; /;
they take it to bed with them. II is
with ;hem wher ever they go, though
Indigestion is the simplest disease OF
all to cure.
Tell such afflicted ones. dear read

sufferer to go any Pharmacy here
and give 50 cents for case. Such
sufferer would ever bless you, be-
cause five minutes after taking there
would be more Indigestion, no feel
ing like a lump Of lead in the Stom-
ach, or Heartburn, or fullness and
discomfort, no Belching OF Gas or
Eructations OF Sour food, Debilitat-
ing Headaeh, Nausea, Water Brash

Diapepsin is a wonderful Stomach
purifier and splendid to keep the in

Diapepsin will rest the stomach

UNDERSTANDABLE BOOKS.

If city is entitled to any one
thing more than another it is clear
and understandable set Of books in
which is recorded its financial opera
tions and balances. According to the
report of the gentlemen last engaged
to expert the books Of Astoria, the
city ledger, the very core-record Of
its money and warrant accounts, is
so ambiguous as to defy the intelli-
gent training Of these men and they
frankly so report it. What more EN-
phatic plea can be urged for the in
stant and thorough analysis Of the ac-
counts and records Of the city than
this2
That those antiquities are due ID
confusion, to changing law, to I'M
certainties Of responsibility; to incon-
gruities Of service, or report, or rec-
ord; mistakes, misinformation, or
other admissible causes, all are will.
ing to admit, in Difference to the we'll
known ability and honesty of the
officers who have had charge of these
things, and the necessity for com
prehensive and exhaustive exporting
Of the books is as essential in this
behalf as in the larger claim of pub
lie confidence and assurance.

MAYOR SMITHS MESSAGE.

Hon. A. NJ. Smith has been duly in
augurated as Mayor OF the City OF
Astoria, and has presented to the
council and the public, his first o.
fetal message as such officer. 1t is
quite lengthy, and contains some ex-
ceIlent and pertinent suggestions,
most Of which the Morning Astorian
has been uttering and reiterating for
the past three years, and which now
find emphasis in the Mayors tenta-
tive confession Of their necessitous
enactment.
Chief among the important items
touched upon BY Mayor Smith are
the frankly admitted facts Of an ac-
cess Of public Indebtedness and the
certainty Of deficit pending, and to
come; situation he has the good
sense to declare, and to advise the
redemption Of through a course Of
sharp economy on the part of the
council and the departmental officers.
lust how sincere this advice is, and
lust how effective it will be, remains
to be seen. The Mayor attempts to
find morsel Of comfort in the un-
tenable conclusion that the property
the city owns ard the property il has
q presumptive lien upon through the
deIinquencies Of certain citizens who
have failed to pay their street inn
provement assessments, serves as as
sets against the public obligations Of
the city, when he knows, as all well
Informed lawyers know, that such
property rights do not, in Law, stand
as legal assets at all; but, be this as
ii may, his stand for economy is well
taken and the people will hail his
veto of any and all extravaganza
most heartily.
He proposes to avoid all "unneces-
sary and reckless projects" in the
matter of street improvements and
confne the operations in this behalf
10 those which "are urgently requir-
cd" doctrine that viii be appreciat-
ed in exact ratio with its observance.
He proposes an occupation tax as an
expedient for the raising Of more
revenue; but before he gets through
with it he will find, as all other cities
Of this size that have attempted i'll
have found, that it is fallacious, and
practically useless.
He has the frankness to admit, at
this somewhat late day, that his pet
measure, the "Seawall Bill" contains
Some Objectionable features" and
suggests that when it shall have been
shorn of them, it may be again sub
mitted to the people, along with the
sport of Astoria" bill, which he
claims is technically imperative; he
is equally candid in regard to the
