Guiding stockers and feeders. There
was a firm feeling the last days OF the
week, with some promise of strength
this week at Kansas City, though Chi
cago dealers sent out the worst kind
of a danger signal to shippers in their.
territory. A bad storm in Illinois and
Iowa cut down receipts at that market
today still further, and with an estl-

of the steers. Commission men say
that a good deal of paper is maturing
this month, which will bring in some
cattle that might be held back other

are worse clogged than ever, that 1t

ertheless, they are buying steers anx-

NIT making some profit on the medium
priced cattle, and concede that If re-
ceipts drop down a little beef may be
advanced a little, and show a profit
on the good heavy cattle they have in
coolers. Quarantine steers have been

Did you ever stop to think what
kind of an impression is made on
strangers coming into Bryan on a
southbound Central train by what they
see from the windows? Piles of rub
bish, litter scattered broadcast, on one
side of the track a ditch reeking with
filth and on the other a row of filthy
closets. 1t is enough to turn the stom-
ach of we'll bred dog.

Street Commissioner Burger re-
quests The Eagle to express his APP
probation of the hearty co-operatioR
of the citizens of Bryan in the enforce
ment of the ordinances in regard to
cleanliness and sanitation. He realizes
that the work of cleaning up is too
great to be all done in one day, and
will allow reasonable time. His policy
of treating everybody alike, without
fear or favor, is winning the plaudits
of all classes of people.

HOSPITAL PROJECT
See No Reason Why Building
Should Not Go Up on
Park Plot

Discussion OF Mayor Spruance's
plan for municipal hospital was the
main topic at the meeting of the New
Castle County Medical Society, held
last night in the Historical Building.
The president, DR.. II. w. Briggs, ap-
pointed as a committee to draft a reso-
luton to be presented at the next
meeting of the society, Civ the sup
port OF the society to the bill for a
municipal hospital, to be presented to
the Legislature The committee COM
prises DR.. Anthony Beck, Dr. G. W. X.
Forrest, and Dr. j. II. Spruance.
There was a general discussion over
the location of such a hospital, sew
eral members expressing the opinion
that It should be easy Of access.
A number of physicians said that it
was nonsensical idea that the hos
pital would depreciate land values;
they thought morocco plants would af-
feet the neighborhood more. They
did not consider this argument valid
objection to locating the hospital on
the land bounded by Sixth street,
Cleveland avenue, Ogle avenue, and
Fifth street.
Reference was made to the munici-
pal hospital located at Fourth and
Broome streets, several years ago,
saying no sickness or death was caus-
ed in the neighborhood by It being
there. Owing to the absence Of Mayor
Spruance, no definite action was TAX
en- regarding the hospital last night.

May Ask Council Tonight to
Grant Increases All

SUGGEST SALARY OF
$1,000 FOR THE CHIEF

Following the meeting of the Police
Commissioners yesterday afternoon a
communication received from the
police requesting permission to take
up with Council a matter which they
have been considering for sometime
increased salaries for every member
on the force, was discussed. The COM
missioners did not touch on the sub
ject in the regular meeting. They
decided to allow the men to carry their
petition to Council. AS a result of
this action the matter may probably
be brought to the attention OF Council
tonight when the various committees
Of that body meet.
The police will ask that the chief
of police be granted a salary increase
of $400 a year; that the captains be
given an increase of $50 year; the
sergeants 5000 a year and that the
patrolmen be given an increase that
will bring their monthly pay up TO
$50. The matrons are TO receive an
increase of 800 a year.
AT present the chief of police is
paid S1,S00 year, the captains 81 200,
the sergeants $1,000, and the patrol
men $500. while the matrons get $500.
In case Council cannot see its way
clear to grant the request, the police
believe the Legislature will not hesl-
tate to give Council the necessary au-
thority to enable the members of the
department to have their pay in
creased.

Leaky GaSOlene Tank ReSpOn-
Sibie for Loss to Dr..
RumfOrd

Two fires occurred last night, one
of which resulted in almost entirely
destroying an automobile belonging to
DIR. S. G. Rumford, entailing loss
of $500, and the other was slight and
did damage to the extent Of but $50.
DR.. Rumford's machine caught fire
at Concord avenue and Monroe street,
the blaze having probably originated
from a leak in the gasolene tank. The
Brandywine Fire Company was sum-
moned by telephone, but when the en-
gine arrived the car was practically
wreck.
The other fire occurred In the home
of Mrs. Augustus Scheu, at No. sos

the parlor having blown against a
lighted gas jet. In an endeavor to ex-
tinguish the flames Mrs. Scheu had
her hands burned. Some men in the
