Lluhtninu Sounds Fire Alarm.

Stanton, Neb., July 12.-About one
month ago the city had attached to
the fire bell an automatic apparatus by
which the bell can be rung in case of
fire. During a severe electrical storm,
the bell began to ring. All the men
were at the fire house, but no one
knew where the fire was or why the bell
was rung. 1t looked mysterious for
awhile, but it was learned later that
the coils had gotten damp through a
leak, which made a short circuit and
caused the ringing.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 12.-The web
of evidence against Emil Victor, the
accused Quadruple murderer. is stead
lily growing and the prisoner Is losing
the air of indifference which has char
acterized his behavior since his ar
rest.

states that some time before the MUIR

Victor tried to trade him a Al caliber
for a smaller weapon. He would not
trade because of the odd size car
tridges used in the mans weapon. 1t
was with a Al caliber gun that the
members of the Christie family and
Michael Ronayne were shot.
Victor has asked the states attorney
to write relatives in East Aurora, N.
Y, to come to his aid.
The preliminary examination of Vic.
tor will take place today. The state S
attorney and the sheriff's office are
devoting their energies to Accumulate

have succeeded in securing witnesses
who will testify to having seen Victor
at Rudolph the evening before the
crime, although he had been away
from there for a few days before. Vic

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS Cry, April 2, 1905
The cattle market declined 10 to 90
cents Monday and Tuesday, &C.
count heavy receipts at all points,
but short drop in the run since
Tuesday started prices upward
again, and the week is closing
with a small net advance. The
impression prevails that cattle re-
ceipts will be short during April,
and that stronger prices may be
expected. There were several ship
ments of good Colorado steers here
first of the week, which sold at
$500 to $3.50, but receipts have
been small since. Feeders sold
up to $40 also, and COWS at $3.50
to 1925, stockers $500 to 1924.
Oklahoma and the Panhandle have
been fairly well represented, and
fed steers have gone at $5.35 to
$3.50, while top price for the week
was paid for long yearlings from
Kansas weighing 1400tb, which
sold at $685.. Cattle receipts for
the month of March were the
heaviest on record at this market
for March, and the large total was
part y due to greater feed in Okla
homa and Texas at the oil mills
than in former years. Feeders are
looking in every direction for a

substitute for high priced corn,
and cotton seed products, sugar
beet pulp and alfalfa are growing
in favor each season.
The sheep and lamb market ad-
vanced % to 40 cents this week,
but are closing the week with Il
slight decline today. Prices will
likely make still further advances
during April, as receipts will like
ly be moderate till grass sheep
move, and the demand for mutton
is greater than in any recent year.
Best fed lambs reached $8.15 this
week, bulk OF lambs $3.50 to $500,
yearlings at 500 to $3.50, weth-
ers $500 to $3.50, ewes 1925 to
$3.50, although choice ewes would
probably go above $500. Spring
lambs have sold at 5000 to
$500 this week, fully as high as
in former Easter seasons. Choice
fat Texas goats brought $3.50 this
week, and Texas muttons are
worth $500 to $5.75, clipped lambs
1925 to $500. Offerings of feed
ing grades are quickly taken at
firm prices.

Proposed Tariff on Hosiery and Cloves


Hosiery manufacturers of this
country under the present Dingley
bill are protected by an average
duty of 500, The duty on the
cheaper goods being in excess Of
60%o, and the duty on the finer
goods being less than 500.
The proposed tariff on popular
priced hosiery calls for an increase
OF 800. The American manufac-
turers have found it possible to
thrive under the present Dingley
bill; they today control at least
500 of the hosiery that is con-
sumed by the American people.
In the year 1900 there was pro-
duced in this country hosiery to
the amount of $27,000,O0O. Five
years later, in the year 1905, the
domestic output had increased to
$43,000,000, showing an increase of
over 60@o, and in the year 1908 the
output of domestic hosiery was be-
tween $50,000,000 and $50, 100000.
The importations of hosiery are
but very small part of the
amount consumed, and to close
the gate to the foreign market
would rob the American public of
the little competition they now
have in the manufacture of hos
iery. These imports are healthy
safeguard to keep prices on such
goods as are produced in America
within reason.
The cost of a Schumacher kid
glove to the importers is $3.50 per
dozen in Europe. The duty which
prevails today in the Dingley bill
is $1.75 per dozen, or 500. The
present Payne bill Will advance
this duty from $1.75 to $500 per
dozen, making the duty on this
class of merchandise 1920.
The duty on lambskln and real
kid gloves is also advanced to
point which increases the retail
selling price very materially. The
greatest advance, however, is on
the cheaper gloves, such as retailed
at 75c and Sl.00 per pair; the small
advance being on the better gloves,
known as kid gloves. Who will be
benefited by this change in tariff?
The manufacturer only. The con-
sumner will be compelled to pay
$1.OO per pair for gloves he has
previously bought for 75c, and will
be asked to pay 1925 for a glove
he has been buying for $1.00.

Saw Him Home

Frisky was just a little fluffy. or
binary dog. without a pedigree, and
not credited with the possession of re-
markable intelligence, but with two
traits of character strongly developed
an inordinate desire for being petted
and a most intense jealousy.
My son. who lived about two blocks
away. had a pug pup which he fire.
quently brought with him when he
called .on us. The pug, being at the
cute and cunning age. naturally re-
ceived a good deal of attention from
the members of the family, much to
the disgust of Frisky. son one oeca-
sion my son and his wife had occasion
to leave the city for compile of days,
and the pug was left in our care
Frisky tolerated, with very bad
grace. the company of the little pug.
and tried to appear Indifferent to the
attention his little rival received. This
continued for two days. when he sud
denly changed his tactics. He made
friends with the little fellow and. after
gaining his confidence, lured him out
of the house. Then, engaging him in
play, he enticed him. by degrees, away
from the house until he had led him
all the way to my sons residence.
where he left him and trotted COM
placently home, seemingly much graft
fed in the fact that he had -piIoted
away the object of his jeaIousy.-The
Independent.
