Grinnell, July 27.-The Farmers
Elevator Company recently formed in
this city. made a deal yesterday by
which they get possession of the eleva-
tor on the south side of the Rock Is
land tracks, in the center of the city,
recently owned and operated by the
Kingdom Brothers. The elevator COM
pany also acquired the coal business
of Kingdom Brothers and will sell coal
and handle grain. 1t is understood that
the price paid was $1,000 and the
stock already taken in the company
will all be paid in this week to cover
that amount.
The city band of Grinnell is s1t5
richer today. because of the game yes
terday afternoon in the mud and the
mist, between the crack Humboldt
team and a picked team from the men,
bers of the Twilight Leaguers of this
city. The game was an interesting one,
tho somewhat one sided, as was natur-
ally expected, resulting in 9 to l in
favor of Humboldt. No score was made
on either side until the fifth inning,
when the visitors ran in five, largely
owing to errors by the home team The
grass was wet and the diamond mud
dy, making it impossible to do any fast
base running. and difficult to hold the
bail. Patton and Loos passed the 3all
FOR the home team with Doe in the
pitchers box for the last inning.
Smithson and Southwick formed the
battery for the visitors. Honors were
about even in the pitching. Hampton
was umpire.
The body of Mrs. w. B. Bradbury, an
old resident of Montezuma. passed thru
Grinnell yesterday morning. for inter-
ment at Montezura. She died at the
home of her daughter Mrs. John Lister,
at Oskaloosa.

the conferees OF the two houses, ocr:
casionally have engaged in acrimoni-
Gus discussion. Payne has paid his re-
spects sharply to Speaker Cannon, who,
he claims. packed the conference COM
mittee with stand-patters Of the type
of Fordney and Calderhead.
1t has been the custom of managers
of conferences on important measures
to discuss developments freely with the
speakers, but Payne has done nothing
of the kind. So far as the speaker is
concerned he claims the only man who
suggested packing the conference COM
mittee was Payne himself and that the
men he appointed were merely for the
purpose of preventing New England
from dominating the situation He has
sought no interviews with Payne and
this may cause trouble for the latter
in the future.
Aldrich Has Offended, Too.
In surrending the duty on hides of
cattle Aldrich and his colleagues have
offended men like Warren Of Wyoming,
Carter of Montana, and Smoot of Utah,
who consistently supported him in
amending the bill in the senate.
Nor has the president by any means
gotten all he wanted. In the four free

ing Some Bluffins.

Washington, July 27-The end Of the
long job of arranging the tariff differ
ences between the two houses of con-
gress has been reached. Every effort
will be made by the house conferees
to submit the unanimous report of
their agreement with the senate to the
house of representatives at its ses-
sion today.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Payne to ac-
company the report with a long ex-
PLANTATION, showing exactly what the
house has received in exchange for
numerous concessions it was forced to
grant. There must also be explicit
statements comparing the proposed
rates with those of the Dingley law,
and the meaning of the administrative
features of the bill, including the cor
poration tax.
Mr.. Payne has been so occupied with
his struggle in the conference chamber
that he has been able to give only
cursory attention to the preparation of
his defense of the report.
So far as the report itself is con-
cerned, it seems to be practically per-
fected. The members of the confer
ence committee decided to notify Sem
ator Aldrich and his colleagues that
the free hide proposition was to be
adopted finally, without waiting longer
for the assent of the range state sem
ators, or they would withdraw and
thus end the discussion
Evidently the bluff worked. Hides
are admittedly upon the free list to
stay. Once this agreement was reached,
it did not take long to close up most
of the other matters pending.
Good feeling prevailed to such an
extent that upon the lumber schedule
the conferees expressed willingness
to go below the senate rates on fin
ished lumber, with $3.50 thousand on
rough lumber. The latter is higher
than the president wants and before
acting upon the proposal 1t was decided
to consult him. This is one of the mat
tiers which will be passed upon at the
meeting of the conference committee
today.
AS soon as complete adjustment is
made by the republican conferees the
democratic conferees will be given a
brief opportunity TO examine the bill
in order that they may be able to sub
nit minority report in both houses.
The conclusion of the conference
work has not been reached without in
f1ictlng wounds apt to leave scars a:

Chicago, July 27-Cattle were steady
There were no choice dry fed steers

were in fair demand, but the supply

Two phases of cattle supply has at
tracted attention early this week One
is the first liberal supply of rangers
from the northwest this season, the
other decided contraction in the sup
ply of big bullocks from the corn coun-

This was regarded as an infallible
indication that feed lots in that quar-
ter are at least depleted. but it has
taken what appeared to have been an
Unfortunately long time. Proportion OF
weighty cattle is probably the small

to better advantage in consequence.
Those who have been predicting that
the good ones would eventually come

at Chicago last week was 227 pounds,

sows that have just weaned their pigs
are coming. Pigs We're scarce and in
good demand by shippers.
Provisions are receiving less atten-
ton from the generally speculative
trade. and the market is left more to
the packers and provision specialists.
Packers are divided in their opini On
as to the future course of values for

prices are high, that stocks are low
and that the movement of hogs is
light.
Sheep.
