retailers make up their minds thai
there is more profit in large sales a
small profits than in trying to hold w
the meat-consuming public.
Local receipts SO far this week are
about half the five principal western
ago and the five principal western
markets have received in three days
only about 100000 head against 1854.
600 last week and $4,000 year ago
This is the sequence of the 81 raid
early last week, which prompted
many country operators to quit the
game temporarily at least. Packers
seem confident, however, that they
have only to repeat the break of last
week to change country sentiment.
One of them said today: LAS
weeks break caused them to lock
hogs up; this one will start a run"
All of which remains to be seen The
last break certainly locked them up.
Cattle.
There was small demand for steers,
and where prices were changed they
were lower.
Big beef steers got hard swat yes
terday. Excessive receipts combined
with modest demand for all kinds
of cattle was the chief cause of the
slump. The supply late in the day was
figured at close to 10000 head,
which was a much larger contribu-
ton than the trade anticipated after
the small advanced car report of yes
terday. No class of buyers had strong
orders to fill and with an idea that
prices We're much too high they pro-
ceeded to apply the ak to the best
of their ability. First bids were much
lower and sellers baked at swallowing
the decline, but later had to take their
medicine.
1t finally developed that the supply
had to be sold at a reduction of 10
OILS cents from yesterday and there
were some who quoted prices 20 cents
lower on the plain heavy cattle which
were the hardest to sell. Eastern ship
pers had lighter orders than usual and
were particularly bearish for the big
heavy cattle which they generally buy.
Even the good we'll finished cattle re-
ceived some cut, and only the strictly
choice were close to steady.
The easiest cattle to sell were the
light handy weights on the yearling
order, but they We're also a little low
er than they have been. Buyers are
evidently trying to get away from the
expensive kinds. They say the big
cuts of meat are hard to move and
there is much better outlet for the
light stuff. That is why they show a
preference for the little cattle over
the big ones.
Sheep.
A bad eastern market caused a slump
in lambs. The bulk of the stock went

| Des Moines, April 2S.-Dr. Ida Guth-
RE who lies in Jasper county Jail
| charged with the dynamiting of the
home Of DR.. Alexander Hall Of Prairie
City, an old sweetheart, was the CEN
trail figure in a love tragedy four years
ago in Barry, Ill. At that time she
pursued an old lover from Barry to
Jacksonville. ILL.,, fired three shots at
him with revolver, one Of which took
effect In his arm and crippled it for
several months. The man in the case
was James Decker, wealthy farmer,
who now makes his home near Jackson

One Of the intimate friends Of Mr..
Decker told the circumstances Of the
case over the long distance phone yes
terday.
He declared that the woman and
Decker were in love with each other
for several years, ana that Decker
finally became infatuated with another
woman. "They went from Barry to
Jacksonville to get their marriage
license" said Decker's friend. Or
Guthrie followed them there and when
she met Decker on the street pulled
a gun from her clothing and fired three
or four shots at him. He has COM

Centerviile, April 2S.-Moulton ex-
poets soon to be made full division on
the Wabash railroad, and that the
railroad will build a 16-stall round
house and establish repair shops there
This was the proposition submitted to
representative citizens of the town at
a conference this week with railroad
officials.
1t is said that the contemplated i'm
provements viii result in bringing sew
enty-five new families of railroad and
shopmen to Moulton. The city is now
freight division, but under the new
arrangements would also be a passen-
ger division. 1t is about midway be-
tween Des Moines and Moberly.

need not dwell upon the unpleas-
ant details. The most disagreeable
portion fell to me, although Johnson
took hold like a man after the first
few moments of reluctance. The 9th
ers devoted themselves diligently to
scraping off the ice, gathering up and
casting overheard the accumulation of
litter about the main cabin and the
various ~staterooms, and assisting us
only as we passed the heavy, rigid
bodies through the stern-ports. We
performed this unpleasant task Of
burial hastily, but with all gentleness;
there was little to do except to wrap
the stiffened figures as best we might,
weight them, though they were them
selves like stone, and consign them to
the gray sea. Not heartlessly, but with
unspoken prayers upon our lips, we
watched them sink silently into the
depths they had resisted SO long.
Never shall l forget the face of the
child, the last to be buried, nor the
sickening feeling with which l sank
back upon a bench, staring about the
vacated cabin when the awful task
was finally accomplished; yet the re-
~alization that 1t was over with, the
cabin cleared and h%abitable, made new
men of all of us. The bedding was
brought forth and aired before the
open ports, the furniture restored to
position, and a fire started in the huge
box-stove. This quickly warmed the
icy interior and, yielded a new aspect
of cheerfulness. De Nova and Kelly
explored the stewards pantry, discov-
ering a quantity of frozen biscuit,
several hams rigid as rock, together
with numerous TASKS Of some liquid
turned into solid ice. We found can
dies, also, hard as nails though they
burned fairly well after a period OF
suffering, and we fitted six OF them
into the great lantern. BY noon we
had completed the work, and had
brought Lady Darlington and Celeste
aft for dinner.

CHAPTER XIV.
In Which We Learn the Story Of the
Donna Isabel.

The short Antarctic day left us lit
tie opportunity for the work on deck.
However, l kept the men employed as
long as possible. first setting them at
hauling up the longboat and slowing
it safely away under shelter, and then
at untangling some of the raf1e forward.
They went al this last task rather
unwillingly, for it was carried on in
full view of that i~ce-casketed figure
guarding the forecastle, yet they got
out two fairly serviceable spars and a
considerable amount of cOrdage so
protected by the ice coating as to
be still of value. When we finally
knocked off and started aft in a body,
a dark, cloudy night was about us, the
| snow falling so thickly as to make it
| impossible to see across the deck.
Dade was busily preparing supper in
the wrecked galley, the red glare OF
his fire shining forth through the
drifting flakes, while glimpses Of light
stole out in welcome from the forward
cabin windows.
The latter appeared shipshape. and

Keen observers predict a big boom
In property in Wantland, Colorado, the
new town which is being built in the

irrigation system is being built to irri-
gate 10000 acres Of very fine land sur-
rounding Wantland. The land is be-
Ing sold by the State of Colorado for
80 cents per acre, under the Carey
Act, and water rights cost $500 an

Gated at Wantland. Full information

off Earia that when a certain harper
was performing the people who were
listening heard the bell for the open
ing Of the fish market, and rushed off,
with the exception of one man who
was a little deaf. The harper, coming
up, addressed him thus: MY good sir,
/ an much flattered by your staying
to hear me when all the rest ran off
at the sound of a bell" "What?" said
he, has the fish-bell rung? Then I'm
off too. Good-by."-Strabo.
