DEMAND NOT UNANIMOUS.
impossible at Present for Grinnel
Council to Grant Paving Petition.

SOuuSI " &lTdttI fAVIuQ H6IttlOUs
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, July 3-The paving details
are still unsettled, and are giving
grounds for much interesting discus
sion. A committee of business men
was before the council at a special
meeting yesterday, to protest against
the laying of twenty-f four foot pave
ment on North Main street, and ask
ing the council to change this to a
thirty foot width. The council stands
ready to do this on the petition of every
property owner on that street who will
be affected by the change, but finds it
impossible at present to get unan-
-imous demand for the change, The
desired action with regard to Main
street, would also undoubtedly involve
all the streets that receive the bulk of
the travel coming in from the country,
which fact makes the question much
more difficult of solution. At the meet
ing yesterday, the question of the tun-
mel for the heating mains of the Grin
nell Electric and Heating Company.
was brought up, and the fear expressed
that the company would delay paving
by failure to get this extensive work
done in time.
In defense, Mr.. o. K Cole pointed
out that the heavy burden of making
such tunnel should not be borne by
the company alone, but that the water
and gas mains should be put into the
same tunnel, and the cost shared pro-
portionately. At the afternoon session
of the council, Contractor j. F. Link,
of the deep we'll construction No. 4,
came before the council with the propo-
sition to stop the cast iron casing they
are now putting into the well at the
depth it has now reached, of 1,461 feer,
instead Of going down to the LAO foot
depth called for by the contract His
reasons given were that the casing is
now beyond all danger of caving in
of shale, and that extending it further
will cut off a part of the pure water
supply Of the lower strata. This ques-
ton has been before the present coun-
Gil, and fully discussed several weeks
ago, and it was decided yesterday, as
it was before, to abide by the contract
made by the last years council and
continue the casing to a solid limestone
foundati ton

Stockyard Notes.

| Liberal supply of Texas steers direct
to packers this week was bear infiu-
ence in the market for plain grades or
grassy natives and also short-fed
kinds.
| Good to choice handy weight fat
steers quotable steady with week
ago. Yearlings stronger and the plain
and medium grassers and heavy corn
fed steers 10@15 cents lower.
Smaller competition on hogs above
800 lbs than a week ago.
Wider spread expected between good
and plain lots from now on.
Gamers and cutters have worked
lower this week, in sympathy with
grassy beef cows, and nominal prices
are quoted 10@15 cents under week
ago. Poor old Gamers have been
drug, the killers taking few of that
class. Cows went at Gamer prices this
week which a week ago We're classed
as cutters and sold accordingly. Most
of the Gamers sold at $2.25M2.50, and
some inferior at 50, while bulk of cut
ters changed hands at s2.75@3, with a
few at s3.10@3.15.
There has not been much life in the
market for mixers and springers this
week. Dry weather in the east has
cut off much of the regular demand,
tho Buffalo traders were operating
quite freely early in the week. Prices
have not changed much since a week
ago. but business has been very dull
at former quotations. Most of the
good to choice cows sold at s4O@50,
with the medium at s30@35, and the
common cows down to s25.
Most of the grassy cows sold at 25
cents decline this week, and the class
es which a week ago were bought as
lower grade beef cows We're this week
switched into the grade of cutters, and
packers bought them at cutter prices.
For the past six weeks there has been
a 1oearish attitude among packers
which has resulted in the price range
being hit hard from extreme high
point this season The trade, however,
now comes to the conclusion that the
she stock has gone about low enough,
altho there is lacking any Ibullish en-
thusiasm among sellers. Prices should
rule from now on. the sellers claim,
without much f1uctuation. Killers have
worked the grassers down to the point
they sought long ago, and sellers say
they should DE SatlSned 10 hold them
there as long as the grassy stuff comes
marketward in liberal numbers.
The supply of bulls was much larger
than the demand warranted and buy
ers forced break of fully 25@40 cents.
Late in the week the bologna supply
was bought up mainly at 1925 a $50,
which was about a dollar lower than
three weeks ago. Fat bulls We're also
reduced and they sold largely at $40

CALLS "sPooks" TO PERsEcUTE
Washington Man Suing for Divorce on
Unusual Grounds

Spokane. Wash, July 3.-Declaring
that his wife daily threatens him with
violence at the hands of her "spooks."
Fred Jankin, of Garfield Wash, south
of Spokane, has filed petition in the
Whitman county superior court for di-
vorce from Emma Jankin, whom he
married at Rathdrum, Idaho, Oct. 81,
1908. Jankin alleges that soon after
they were married his wife began a
systematic course of occult practices
and would call up" the spirits of her
relatives and acquaintances at all
hours of the day and night for the sole
purpose of annoying him. He was i'm
portuned to join circles and seances,
and he adds, because he objected, his
wife repeatedly charged him with be-
ing untrue to her, declaring she had re-
ceived information from the Spirits
of departed friends with whom she
was in daily communication. Jankin
says that at the time of their mar
rage he did not know Mrs. Jankin was
interested in spiritualism, which is the
chief basis for the action.

Turkish Kindness to Animals.

In the matter of kindness to ami
mails it is said that the Turk cannot
be surpassed. Thus at STEAMBOAT the
wandering dogs are treated with great
gentleness and when puppies come
into the world they are lodged with
their mother at the side Of the street
in imprcvised kennels made out of old
boxes lined with straw and bits of car.
pet. And frequently when a young
Turk happens to be flush of money he
goes to the nearest bakers shop and
buys quantity of bread, which he
distributes among the dogs of the
quarter, who testify their gratitude by
jumping up at him with muddy paws
and shifting muzzles.

stockyards are to be made to bloom.
Instead of unattraytive lanes and
pens and roadways and great bare

stretches of flower beds, with here
and there buildings surrounded with
shrubbery The scheme originated
with j. Ogden Armour, and the first
fruits of his plan may be seen at the
general Offices of Armour & Co.,
where bright flowers are in bloom all
around the buildings. The packers
hope that the visitors to the yards
will find comfort in the flowers and
shrubbery after they have listened to
the thousand and one grating noises
which fill the air at all hours of the
day.

patch.
The wives Of the farmers organized
against the big dinner attachment on
thrashing days, aud when thrasher
owners came around to make contracts
and were informed Of the women's
edict many Of them refused TO make
contracts, saying they had no way to
provide dinners for the men.
All the farmers in some coppties
have formed thrashing companies
among themselves and have agreed
that every man must provide himself
with dinner. The Organization is
