The Stake and Ward officers of
the Primary Association gave a sur
prise trinket shower to Miss Louie
Tyler on Thursday evening, she be-
ing a member of both boards. 1t
was the night for regular officers
meeting, and when President Gym
thia Layton arose and stated the
purpose of the meeting the surprise
was complete. After some music
and singing, Miss Louie was draped
in white sheet and the trinkets
brought by the officers were pinned
all about her. Her surprise and en-
barrassment added to the merriment
of the girls and very pleasant hour
followed, after which cake and cocoa
was served. This took place at the
home of C. M. Layton. About
twenty-four girls were in attendance.
A very large crowd of people
were in attendance at the meeting
Sunday afternoon, evincing the in
terest in the installing of new
bishopric. Bishop Peterson was the
first speaker. He said that the re-
sponsibility of president of the Acad-
emy and bishop of the ward was
more than he could carry, and had
found it necessary to give up one
position, but had left it with the
Stake Presidency to decide which
one. His counselors, Frank Tyler
and L. r. Pace, expressed them
selves briefly as having loved and
honored Bishop Peterson. Presi-
dent Kimball expressed regrets at
losing Bishop Peterson, and stated
that three better, stronger men
could not be found in the commun-
ity. He also spoke of the necessity
of supporting the new bishopric.
G. M. Layton then expressed his ap-
probation of the work done by
Bishop Peterson and counselors.
The bishopric was then honorably
released by the vote of the people.
Frank Tyler was unanimously sus-
tained as the new bishop. in few
brief remarks he chose L. R. Pace
as first and J. l.. Wilkins as second
counselors, and both were sustained
by the vote of all present. They
each expressed themselves as being
willing and desirous of doing the
best within their power to fill their
Office well.
AT the close of the meeting many |
themselves as being we'll
pleased with the choice.

OBJECT TO STRONG MEDICINES

Many people object to taking
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in
any case of muscular or chronic
rheumatism, and more than nine out
Of every ten cases of the disease are
of one or the other of these varieties.

any) swelling, you may know that it

other thieves; and that, in the
summing up of it all, the great

back from the suffering public

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS.
April 26-The receipts of cattle
last week were very good and
quality rather better than for
some time. Demand was strong
and good cattle closed 10 to 25c
higher here despite the fact that
eastern markets quoted declines
of 25 to 4Oc. This was due to
strong demand on this market.
Good beef steers sold at S5.25 to
$500 and good cows brought
S5. 10 the latter being the highest
price paid here for cows for sew
eral months. Offerings of cows
were quite liberal and a large
number of sales were made at
prices ranging from S4.75 to
$500. Bulls were fully steady
at So. 35 to S4.OO. Veal calves
sold up to $500, several lunches
bringing this price during the
week. Feeder and stocker de-
mand was good and prices ruled
steady to strong on good grades.
A country buyer paid $50
freight paid for good 117O-lb
steers to take to the country and
most of the good to choice steers
brought S4.75 to S5. 35. The fair
to good sold at S4.25 to 10.
Today's receipts 1000; market
weak to a dime lower. Eastern
markets reported heavy runs and
prices 10 to 20c off.
Hogs were in good supply and
sold well. Prices ranged from
500 to S7.2O. Choice heavy
hogs sold up to SIPS last week,
this being the highest price paid
on this market for the past four
or five years. The demand is
good and liberal shipments
wanted.
Sheep demand was good and
the market closed firm. Good
fat ewes sold at $5.75 and S5.85,
wethers up to $6.25, yearlings
at 81. Is and lambs at SIPS.

That new era of supply and
demand is setting in which will
revise the previous basis of cal
culation, there is no doubt. The
field of consumers has not only
grown rapidly, but its tastes
have changed with long seasons
of prosperity. More and better
food is sought in the markets
and this has to be supplied by
growers and producers. In con-
sequence, higher prices are not
only asked but are as readily OBJ
tanned. The source of supply is
constantly being pushed to salts
fly the demand. So there is no
reason for surprise at the good
markets prevailing and little
reason to doubt that they will
continue. The area of produc-
ton is broadening much more
slowly than when there appeared
to be limitless tracts for the
settlers and homeseekers, for
now the public domain has mar
rowed down to desert and dry
farming tracts which are being
brought to tilling much more
slowly. On the opposite, the
population is increasing and the
army of consumers growing,
month by month, aggregatine
millions each year. Only a few
stop to think how much it costs
to feed a million people, more
than which number is being ad.
ded to our population yearly by
immigration alone, yet, should
we figure the cost at two dollars
a week for each, we have the
vast sum of more than one hun
dred million dollars required fol
