HoGS-DesPite bearish reaction in tho
list OF provisions this morning, local hog
trade was strong from the opening. Ship
pers were out early and bought freely, pay
Ing prices pretty close TO a nickel higher
than average sales yesterday Packers took
the big bulk of receipts, however, the cost
OF their droyes ranging from strong to Sc
higher, the basis OF comparison depending
upon the time at which statesmen disposed
of their holdings yesterday. Supply was
normal, quality good as usual, and q per-
feet clearance made before midday. AS
compared with the popular price OF 3d. so
yesterday, the long string today went at
1895. The spread continues very narrow
and discrimination between good butchers
and lights is not as evident as 1t was last
week.
A large share of the hogs sold at 50 s2lk
q9.dh as compared with yesterdays bulk
OF t9.S0u9 35 Tops remained unchanged
the best light lots bringing $40
For the week thus far receipts have been
barely normal and the trend OF prices gen
orally higher. Current sales are all OF zoe
higher than those at last weeks close

New County Assessor.

At the meeting of the County
Commissioners last week H. NJ.
Diffenbacher was appointed COun
ty Assessor, succeeding F. B. New
cOmbe, who has held the office
two years. lSOm Wright and
Henry Harper of this city were
the only other applicants. Harry
Diffenbacher is a Great Bend boy
straight through. He is a son of
the late c. F. Diffenbacher. He is
an energetic young man who will
give the work for which he has
been selected his untiring efforts
and will doubtless prove a very
efficient officer, as did his prede-
cessOr. His list of deputy asses
sOrS will be found in the commits
siOners proceedings. The appoint
mentS for Great Bend are W. H.
Dodge and Henry Harper, with
Porter Young and L. C. Breeder
on the board of review.

Revoked His License.

On complaint of County AttOr-
ney Clarke, the billiard hall IL
cense held by Will Herman was
last week revoked by the city
council and mayor. The county
attorneys complaint was based
on the fact that many Of the per-
sons arrested in the past on the
charge of violating the prOhibi-
tory laws of the state, seemed to
make the Herman pool hall their
headquarters. Mr.. Herman, SC
the OfficereS say, had been fre
Quently notified that it was uT
to him to make a cleaning, but
they say the cleaning was never
made, with the result that the
county attorney again appealed
to the city officers who then re
vOked the license. Mr. Herman il
thus evidently made to suffer fol
not drawing the line on his viSi
tors close enough. He has dis
posed of the establishment to o
P. Holmes, who has secured a Ii
cenSe and opened the hall.

A Beautiful Tract of Land.

Beginning two miles from Ness
City is a tract Of land containing
4720 acres, and supplied by the
ever running waters of Walnut
creek. In this tract there are
25OO acres of good alfalfa land in
creek bottom, the rest Of the land
is second bottom, and all good
farming Land. The soil is rich
and mellow, and might be called
sub irrigated. On the place are
two houses and a barn. There is
also a school house on the tract.
With all these advantages, and
land climbing in price as it is,
this tract can be purchased at
prices ranging from 500 to $50
per acre. The entire tract will bt
cut into 160 acre farms, and each
farm is a good one. This gives a
chance to own a farm at a very
reasonable cost. You can see
plat of this land, and get full pal
ticularS by calling on WhitcOmt
& Wehrhahn in the Brinkman
Hiss building.

The Presidents Message.

President Taft last week sent
to congress a special message
dealing with transportation prob
lens principally. 1t contains some
new ideas, some Of which might
work out all right, but some of
which undoubtedly will not. In
brief, the message recommends
that the formation of trusts or
large business combinations be al
lowed under certain restrictions.
He would regulate the capitaliza-
tion of all interstate corporations
making it a requirement that all
capital stock shall represent legi-
innate investment, and be subject
to proper valuation, and the cap
italizatiOn be subject to approval
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. He also recommends
that the commission be allowed
to initiate action, without waiting
for formal complaint. He would
prohibit a railway from acquiring
by lease or purchase the property
Of any competing railway. He al
so recommends that a new court
Of five federal judges be created
to have exclusiv original jurisdic-
ton.
In this latter recommendation
we doubt if the people will be
with the President, for the reason
that in the past the federal judi
ciary seems to have been render
ing opinions mostly favorable to
the railway companies in suits
that have been brought. What
We need in this country is more
law by congress that will hold Wa
ter. As it is now we are rapidly
drifting in the direction Of the
federal judges practically making
or unmaking all laws, and they
because of the fact that they are
appointed to office instead of be
ing elected and that they hold fO
life, are too far removed from tn,
people to pay much attention tt
the wants of the people. Whar
we need as much as anything elSC
is reform in our federal ju
dietary.

1t COmngA Monthly Sales
What the Tariff Does.

Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, in
a speech at a Jackson day cele-
bratiOn at Danville, ILL.,, last week
said as follows:
1.-THE tariff enables one man to
get without earning what another
man earns without getting, which
enables the jewelled hand Of
greed to pick the threadbare pock
cts Of the needy. Driven by the
lash of public sentiment even the
Stand-patterS promised 'unequiv-
Ocally' to revise the tariff. They
kept this pledge with Punic faith.
Hereafter these promises like the
notes Of the bankrupt, will dimin-
iSh In value as they increase in
number. The tariff has been re-
vised by its friends. The rates
were reduced up. Prices have ad-
vanced. The cost of living has
increased, has Outrun both wages
and salaries. The consumer pays
100 per cent duty on his clothes,
l61 per cent on his blankets, pays
more for American goods than

A triple installation ceremony
took place at the G. A. R. hall
Friday evening last, when G. N.
Moses installed the newly elected
officers of the Post, and Mrs. G.
n. Moses installed those for the
Sons of Veterans, and the Ladies
Circle. a large number of the
"Old boys" and their wives were
out, and some of the younger
crowd. The ceremonies were very
nicely carried out. Following
the work an oyster supper was
served, and here, as is always the
case, everyone stood pat and got
their share. A pleasant evening
was indulged in by all.
