MARKET REPORT.

Receipts of cattle rather liberal this
morning, 31S cars being reported in

and decidedly lower advices from
eastern markets, the trade was slow
in opening and early bids were all

and the market showed an improve

closed weak at the full decling.

OBTAINED MONEY FALSELY.
Lou Smith Arrested at Manila for Oh
tanning Money Under False
Pretense.

On receipt of a telegram from the
sheriff at Bismarck, N. D., Henry Cum
mings, sheriff of this county, went to
Manila yesterday, where he placed
one Lou Smith under arrest on the
charge of obtaining money by false
pretences, as it is claimed at Bismarck.
Mr.. Smith, it is said, has been working
for some time near MALTA, in Shelby
county, husking corn, and when it be-
came known to the authorities that
he was in that locality the order
came for his arrest, and Mr.. Cummings
took him in charge and has him con-
fined in the county Jail awaiting fur
Their orders from Bismarck. It is said
there are some extraordinary features
in connection with the case which the
officers do not, at present, see fit to
divulge.

Of both systems might be combined by

Col
Prince Michael of the electorate of
| Valleluna sat on his fayorite bench In
the park. The coolness Of the Septem-
ber night quickened the life in him
like rare tonic wine. The benches
were not filed. for park loungers. with
their stagnant blood, are prompt to
detect and fly home from the crisp
ness of early autumn. The moon was
just clearing the roofs of the range Of
dwellings that bounded the quadrangle
on the east
Children laughed and played about
the fine sprayed fountain. In the
shadowed spots fams and hamadry-
ads wooed, unconscious of the gaze Of
mortal eyes. A hand organ-Philomel
by the grace of our stage carpenter
Fancy-futed and droned In a side
street
Around and about the enchanted
boundaries of the little park street cars
spat and mewed and the stilted trains
roared like tigers and lions prowling
for q place to enter. And above the
trees shone the great, round, shining
face Of an Illuminated clock In the
tower Of an antique public building.
Prince Michael's shoes We're wrecked
far beyond the skill of the carefulest
cobbler. The ragman would have de-
clined any negotiations concerning his
clothes. The two weeks stubbIe on
his face was gray and brown and red
and greenish yellow. as If 1t had been
made up from individual contributions
from the chorus Of musical comedy.
No man existed who had money enough
to wear SO bad a hat as was Prince
Michaels.
Prince Michael sat on his favorite
bench and smiled 1t was a diverting

sions that faced him if he chose.
He could have matched gold. equI-
pages. jewels, art treasures, estates and
acres with any Croesus in this proud
city Of Manhattan and scarcely have
entered upon the bulk of his holdings.
He could have sat at table with reign
ing sovereigns.
The social world. the world of art,
the fellowship Of the elect, adulation,
Imitation, the homage of the fairest,
honors from the highest, praise from

was waiting in the comb In the hive
of the world for Prince Michael Of the
electorate of Valleluna whenever he
might choose to take it. But his choice
was to sit in rags and dinginess on a
bench in a park. for he had tasted of
the fruit of the tree of life and. finding
1t bitter in his mouth, had stepped out
of Eden for time to seek distraction
close to the unarnored, beating heart
Of the world.
These thoughts strayed dreamily
through the mind of Prince Michael
as he smiled under the stubble Of his
polychromatic beard.
Loungng thus, clad as the poorest
Of mendicants in the parks, he loved

DO you agree to that?'
"Of course" said the young man
cheerfully. They're a nuisance any
way. always ticking and striking and
getting you late for dinner"
He glanced again al the clock In the
tower
The hands stood at three minutes
to 0.
Il think" said Prince Michael. that

fauguing."
He stretched himself upon a bench
with the manner Of one who had slept
thus before.

any evening when the weather is suit

and will give you check for the
money"
Thanks, your highness," said the
young man seriously. 1T doesn't look
as If would need that palace on the
Hudson. but | appreciate your offer
Just the same"
Prince Michael sank into deep slum-
Der. His battered hat rolled from the
bench to the ground. The young man
lifted it, placed it over the frouzy
face and moved one of the grotesquely
relaxed limbs into a more comfortable
position.
Poor devilw he said kindly as he
drew the tattered clothes closer about
the princes breast
Sonorous and startling came the
stroke Of 8 from the clock tower. The
young man sighed again. turned his
face for one last look at the house Of
his relinquished hopes and cried aloud
profane words Of holy rapture.
From the middle upper window bios
somed in the dusk a waving. snowy,
futtering, wonderful, divine emblem
Of forgiveness and promised Joy.
By came citizen, rotund. comforta-
BILE, home hurrying, unknowing of the
delights of waving silken scarfs on
the borders Of dimly lit parks.
""Will you oblige me with the time,
sir?" asked the young man. and the
citizen. shrewdly conjeeturing his
watch to be safe, dragged 1t out and
announced:
"Twenty-nine and half minutes
past s, SIR"
And then from habit he glanced at
the clock In the tower and made fur
ther grafton.
"By George; that clocks half an
hour fast. First time in ten years I've
known 1t to be off This watch of mine
never varies a.

a fast receding black shadow, flying
in the direction of house with three
lighted upper windows.
And in the morning came along two
policemen on their way to the beats
they owned. The park was deserted
save for one dilapidated figure that
sprawled asleep on a bench. They
stopped and gazed upon it.
"ft's Dopy Mike" said one. "He hits
the pipe every night. Park bum for
twenty years. On his last legs, l
guess"
The other policeman stopped and
looked at something crumpled and
crisp in the hand of the sleeper.
"Gee! he remarked. Hes doped
out a fifty dollar bill anyway. Wish |
knew the brand Of hop that he
smokes"
And then rap, rap. rap" went the
club of realism against the shoe soles
