Victims of Forqers.

Des Moines, Aug. 16.-Special:
Iowa farmers who spend the summer
in the west have been made the vic
tins of numerous forgeries, according
to Secretary Hall, of the Iowa Bank
ers' association. Mr.. Hall received
word of the arrest of F. w. Rhodes
at Manitou, Colo, accused of forging
the name of Jacob Arnold, OF Dexter,
to a check for $475, which check was
cashed. 1t is declared that one Well
er click at Salt Lake City, got $3.50
on the name of a farmer living near
Essex, and that check for $1,000
was received a few days ago by the
Des MOines bank, puTporting TO be
signed by an Iowa farmer now at
Salt Lake City. but it was not cashed.
Similar forgeries on Iowa farmers are
reported at Ogden, Utah, and Flo>
ence, Colo. Detectives have been
set to work to break up the gang.

Market Notes.

The quality was poor in the cattle
section Tuesday and there were no
high sales recorded. The market was
quiet and about steady for all grades
of steers. About half the receipts
consisted of rangers.
Stockers and feeders met with a
fairly good demand from the country
the rains having stimulated inquiry.
Prices ruled steady to strong for
everything that was desirable, while
the common and medium were slow
and weaker
Sheep and lambs sold steady most
of the day, but late arrivals put
crimp in the market for the common
and medium stuff, and most of it fin.
ished little lower. In fact, the whole
trade was quite slumpy.
Cattle buyers are much interested
in the range trade this year, and are
taking the grass cattle at relatively
high prices. Buyers say the rangers
kill out better than the natives.
The rapid advance of high prices of
more than a dollar during the past
month has caused all pork products
to retail much higher in Chicago and
packers predict that there will be an
other boost before long.

JuveniIe Crime Growing.

Humboldt, Aug. 16.-Special: 1.-THE
amount of juvenile crime in Iowa is
something appalling. 1t is growing
larger every year, although the aver
age citizen seems to have no realiza'
ton whatsoever of the seriousness
of the situation" Such is the verdict
of Judge D. F. Coyle of Humboldt,
Judge of the Fourteenth district OF
Iowa at the hearing of several young
boys accused of entering and burglar
izing a house. Judge Coyle thinks
that the fathers and mothers of the
boys are largely to blame and also
thinks that the public schools and
Sunday schools are falling of short OF
teaching some of the most important
things of life.
