games the rule is that the cards may
be cut, but not otherwise marked This

card index systems. Fashions change
in card games as in everything else

this longtime popularity and that Is TO
be found in It's superior merits. When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-

CATTLE-For a Thursday there was a
very fair run OF cattle, 172 cars being re-
ported in. This brings the total for the
week up to =. $40 head, or about 1000 head
in excess OF n week ago. Still receipts show
q few hundred head short of the same
week last year. The market as a whole
was in fairly satisfactory condition.
Desirable beef cattle were in good de-
mand and practically everything coming
under that head changed hands in fair
season in the morning at steady prices.
Good .cornfed steers sold up as high as
S7.45, thus making a new high top for
the year.
Cows and helfers Of good quality were
not much different from yesterday. On the
other hand the less desirable kinds were
a little slow and some statesmen thought
they had hard work in securing steady
prices.
StockSrs and feeders were in pretty large
good many cattle Of that description In the
yards and as prices were high, there was q
tendency on the part OF buyers to shade
prices a little. Thus the trade on that
kind of cattle might be described as slow
to generally a little lower.
