local horse market again is in de-
moralized condition. rejecting a senti
ment that contrasted strongly with the
condition of the trade last week. when
prices SCARED on a healthy demand
from all sources. -
so far this week however, trading
has been letharsic in the auction ring.
and this lack of activity has resulted
in depressing prices for practically all
grades Of horses. the better classes.
nevertheless. showing the least depreci-
alton. This state Of affairs is also due
to a great extent to the compa rattyely
large number OF horses shipped here
this week. the total reaching 1887, as
against 1.131 the first two days last
week and 1861 the same time year
ago.
Bulk Of arrivals consisted of med
ium- weight animals. altho there was g
fair sprinkling Of heay weights and too
many lightweight and undesirable
kinds. Retail trade has been only

MILK IN ICE CREAM

The campaign for sanitary condi-
tons around diaries, catering to the
keokuk consumers, is being waged by
Or. Sherlock, local representative OF
the state board OF health, backed up
by the power OF that department. 1t
lis said that he has recently given
strict orders to several owners of
dairies in the vicinity Of keokuk. In
which they are told to clean up or
get out OF business.
Saturday morning DR.. Sherlock and
City Health Officer Evans visited a
dairy which supplies a large part of
Keokuk with milk and the conditions
found there, according to the officers,
were almost indescribable. They re-
port that no care is taken Of tho
stock and the place is in filthy
condition generally.
DR.. Sherlock stated that the owner
of the place had been repeatedly
warned to clean up the dairy hut he
has refused to do SO. When the ~
spection was made Saturday, Inspector
Sherlock gave the man strict orders
to clean his place thoroughly or he
would not be permitted to sell milk in
Keokuk. He was given until Wed
nesday TO comply with til einspector.a
orders.
Several diaries around the city are
in bad shape, said DR. Sherlock
Saturday, and drastic measures will
be taken to see that they are clean.
ed up. The recent visit of the state
officials in Keokak, is thought tc
have awakened the people to the
fact that the milk that they are buy

and they will demand that lsomething
