]. Walter Flanagan has entered Jack
Gilman in the free .for-all race at Mill
ford, Delaware, on Saturday, October
Sth. aud will meet such fast horses as
Ashland Bird, Hero, Julia Marlowe
and Royfield. Jack Gilman held the
Wilmington track record for several
years and won all the prizes, and there
is no more popular horse in the State
to day than this great PAGER. He is in
fine condition and it is expected that
he will beat the track record in one OF
the heats. but the owners OF the other
horses are equally as confident and
some fast time can be expected. In ad
dition to this event there will be two
other races on the card and handsome
prizes will be hung up in each. l.. d.
Bailey, who owns Roy field, will not
start the horse at Mt. Holly, but will
reserve the speed for his contest on Sat
urday at Milford, and with good day
and track the racing will be the best
ever held on the Glen worth Stock Farm
track. W. H. Shields, the we'll known
grand circuit Judge, will act as starter.

fill Walnut Street from the First Ma

and cover over the Jump Block in
addition by lis width, and that the top

that hotel now stands above the earth.

took part were delighted with the en-
tire affair. The party from Milford

NOTICE TO PUBLIC SCHOOL PATRONS.

On Monday October 10Th, the first
reports will be sent from the Milford
school to the patrons Of the school.
The marks on these cards will represent
the teachers best judgement regarding
the work Of the pupils for the first
month Of the school year. They are
sent home for the express purpose of
informing parents about their chill
dren's work. The report card is really
a personal letter from the teacher to the
parent. 1t should BE carefully read,
Whenever marks are below seventy
five per cent they are unsatisfactory,
and parents should at once cooperate
with teachers in Temedying DEFICIENCIES.
They should do it right away. They
should not wait until next spring or
fall. In all probability it will be too
late then. The report card tells the
whole story. No parent can expect
to get more explicit information from
a teacher by personal interview than
is given by this report. 1t should not,
therefore, be merely signed but should
be studied in detail. I. A. HOOVER,

All Over America, the News OF the
Marvellous pandruff Cures Of
Partisan Sage Has Spread.

A few years ago there was intro
duced into America cure for dan
druff, falling hair and all scalp DIS
eases.
News of the quick action OF this
wonderful invigorator spread rapidly.
And today without any sensational
or untrue advertising, Partisan Sage
is used extensively In almost every
town in America. And what has pro-
duced this great demand? Simply this:
Partisan Sage does just what We are
telling the readers Of the Eagle 1t

We claim, and we back our claim
with e. ]. Jenkins money back guar
antee, that Partisan Sage is the most
invigorating and rejuvenating hair
tonic It cures dandruff, stops falling
hair and itching scalp; 1t makes the
hair grow strong and vigorous. yet
soft and lustrous. 1t is the only hair
dressing that reaches the root bulb
of the hair and destroys the dandruff
germ.
And to the women who are reading
this simple statement Of fact, we want
to say that Partisan Sage works won
ders with women's hair. It will turn
dull, harsh and faded hair into beau
tiful, radiant and lustrous hair in a
few days, and is the most pleasant /
and satisfying dressing any woman
aver used.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April II
1910.-Small receipts of cattle at all
the markets last week gave the situa.
ton into the hands of sellers, although
there was more resistance from the
buying side than there has been any
week since the recent uplift in the
market began. Consumers are max
ing big fight on the high cost of liv-
ing, and the hog and sheep market re-
ceived drubbing last week. Cattle
would have met the same fate but for
the meagre supply Today a liberal
run of cattle took off the mask, and
the market is 10 to Is lower. Meat
eaters are asserting their independ-
ence through the medium of cheap
eggs and vegetables. In the quar-
antine division here today II car
loads arrived, and while prices aver.
aged 10 cents lower than the close of
last week, trade was active and every
thing sold early at prices 10 to 25
cents higher than a week ago. The
run in quarantine division today was
made up almost entirely of Oklahoma
cake fed steers, which sold at $3.50 to
$40 for the steers weighing 100 to
1925 pounds, and the lighter steers at
$3.50 to $685. One lot of medium class
bulls sold today at 81. So, and some
commonish calves at S5.75, weighing
143 pounds. Veal calves are S1.00 to
$3.50 lower than a week ago, and bulls
40 to go cents lower than their best
$500 to $3.50, and good cows and hei.
fers in. quarantine division are quot
able at $3.50 to S5.75. A five car
bunch of South Texas grass steers, 10
20 pounds, sold here the middle of last
week at $625.
The hog market got the worst set.
back last week it has had any week
this year, prices off 20 to 80 cents net,
There was some gain at the end of the
week from the low time, but as a
promise of better prices this week it
was misleading as the run of $500
head here today is selling Is to 20
lower than the close of last week
Heavy hogs are selling here today
at $1025 to s10.35, medium weights I'D
to 5000, and top on lights is s1O.15.
A big break in provisions was the
main weakness in hogs last week, and
the downward trend in prices is due
to falling off of consumption, with
some slight increase in volume of
supply.
Sheep and lambs sold sharply low
er up to Thursday last week, but since
that time there has been some re-
covery, including an advance of 10 to
10 cents today. Wooled lambs sold |
at 1915 today, fifty cents above the |
lowest time and top on clipped lambs |
today is 1855, best yearlings worth |
5000, wethers ss.25, ewes s775. A
three car band of medium Texas NUT
ions arrived today, and sold at $500.
