ONLY TWO POSTAL DEPosITORs.
NIarysviIIe Folks Stin Pace Faith in
Old Stocking '.Hi,.-Out.''

Marysville, Kan, Aug. AT the
end of the first week of postal savings
deposit business at the Marysville post
office Postmaster Forter reports that
only two deposits have been made
and both of these were made on the
first day the service went into effect.
The first deposit was for one dollar
and tho second one was for ten dol
lars. Not a card or stamp has been
sold.
Marysville is the smallest Office in
the United States at which the postal
savings deposit system has been in
stalled. It is credit to be recognized
in a class with the larger offices but
the fact is that this community has
little need for the service.

The highest point of woman s hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the c1asping of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to-
be is often fearful of natures ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering Incl
dent to its consummation. But for
natures ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mother s
Friend is to be found a medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
1t is an oily emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-
ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. It is intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
ing through which the mother usually
passes. The regular use of Mothers s
Friend will repay any mother in the
comfort it affords before, and the help
ful restoration to health and strength
it brings about after baby comes.

A somewhat spectacular runaway

Young Wilson made a flight through
the air when the wheels of his rig
hit the rails of the car track at
the front Of the McGregor store,
that would have done credit to an
aviator. AS he came down the lad
protected his head with his arms
and did not try to break the force
Of his fall by extending his hands
as he lighted on the pavement.
This probably saved him from SER

the pavement for a distance but
finally had to let go his horse. By

somewhat damaged by the rough
usage.
Singularly enough, the other run

M arket Notes,

Tuesday the demand was fairly
good for all the desirable steers offer
ed, but the supply Of fat steers was
small.
The demand for stockers and feed
ers very weak from the country and
the Chicago traders have good many
on hand. 1t looks as if they would
have to accept lower rates before
they could make a complete clear
ance.
Chicago hog packers were slow to
take hold Tuesday and tried to pre-
vent the advance of a nickel, but the
shipping was strong enough to force
them into line.
The demand for sheep and lambs of
light weight and good quality was
quite strong Tuesday and prices, in
some cases, were 10 cents higher. The
market was a little slow for the
heavy sheep.
Stockers and feeders purchased at
Omaha in April totaled 1850 head,
against 1884 the previous month and
22,1S6 for the corresponding month
last year. Iowa was credited with T.
III and Nebraska came next with s..
423. The total for the first four
months this year was 100,677 head,
against S6,427 the corresponding time
last year.

Horses Clear Readily.

Chicago, May 10.-Horses held the
slight improvement noted Monday and
trade was in fairly healthy shape
throughout. Buyers were more num-
erous and, as supply was moderate,
dealers had little trouble making a
clearance. Receipts the first two
days this week totaled around l,545,
against 1902 same time last week and
1,1S1 corresponding period last year.
There were some drafters that reach.
ed $3.50 and others were obtained at
$200@225, while a fancy class was
quotable at 1915 and higher. Other
lighter arrivals sold mainly at $165@
100 and some went at $3.50, but those
at $125 and lower were aged or blem-
ished.

THE LEAK IS REPAIRED
Large Crowd Gather at River to See
Diver Go Down.

A large crowd of Oskaloosa people
witnessed the repairing of the big
main under South Skunk river Fri
day afternoon. The operation, or
what could be seen of it was inter
esting and most of the onlookers
remained until the diver had com
pleted his work. Chas. Gunderson,
OF Chicago, was the diver employ
ed by the water company. The
trouble was taken care of in a very
short time and only a little over
an hour was required to mend the
break. Supt. Horace Hawkins was
OF the opinion that the supports I'M
der the pipe had cen washed away
and in settling a joint had been
opened. Mr.. Gunderson found the
pipe in good shape but the lead in
one joint had disappeared which per
mitted the muddy water to enter.
II IL thought that the chemical action
OF water corroded the lead. Mr.. Gun
derson went under the water several
times. the first time being merely a
trip of inspection. Mr.. Gunderson
reported the pipe was in excellent
condition and resting on the hard
gravel bottom of the river. He and
his helper departed for Chicago Fri
day evening.
