MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, June ,.
1914 The moderate cattle supply of
5000 today brought out the full buy
ing force, and sales were steady to 10
higher on steers, and fully steady on
other grades Choice heavy natives
sold at $3.50 to SO, bulk of the native
steers S7.85 to s.. 40, and native grass
steers weighing around 900 pounds at
81. 30 to S7.75. Three loads of dogie
steers, 742 lbs, at $40, furnished a
good argument for those men who
contend that there is money in feed
ing common cattle. Those steers
cost $40 here in January, and
weighed $40 pounds at that time,
more than doubling their value in
four months Seven loads of North
Texas quarantine steers sold at 81. IS
today, of the cake on grass kind, 1126
lbs Ten cars of common South Tex
as grass steers $40 pounds sold at
So. Is, and some 1858 pound grassers
brought 81. 35 yesterday. The South
Texas movement is one-half over,
and the balance will be strung along
for five or six weeks vet, which means
with them at any time. A feature
this week, was % cars of Montana
hay and grass steers, drawn this way
by the strong demand here, resulting
from light supplies at this market;
they sold at 81 so to IS, and the specu-
lators WHO shipped them hurried
back home for more. Bulk of the
stockers sell at $685. to S7.65, few
at IS, stock cows and heifers largely
at S6 to $3.50, which prices are a
material reduction from a week or 10
days ago. Veals have been marked
down half dollar this week, best at
So. $50 to 80.

United Press Dispatch.
 St. Louis, Mo-, July Miss Esther Coheon, cashier of the Coheon Grocer O., was robbed i'll the down town district this morning of $8,00O which she was carrying in satchel. She was on her way to the bank with the money, which was in cash and checks. A highway man darted from an areaway, snatched her bag and escaped through hallway, despite the fact that the girls screams a. reused everyone in the neigh borhood.
 The girl said her assailant, who appeared to be an Italian, was about 21 years of age. $1,- 100 dollars of the money was in currency, the remainder be- ing checks and drafts.

Fish Die In Shallow Lake.

Memphis, Tenn, July 13. - Five hundred acres of dead fish line the shores of Wauponoca lake at the Wauponoca Outing Clubs reservation in Arkansas, according to reports received here today. Lack of rain is as- signed as the cause,
 The lake, scarcely more than two feet deep at the deepest point, ordinarily covers 1,500 a. cres of ground. During the last few weeks the lake has dried up rapidly and unless heavy rains come soon it will be entirely dry.
 At normal stage this lake a. bounds with fish. The 800 acres of water which has been dissi- pated into the air has left thou sands of fish dead on the banks. The shores are lined with dead black bass, carp and the like, and hundreds are dying daily because of insufficient water.

Drouth Broken At Wynne.

Wynne, July II. This sec tion of eastern Arkansas was visited last night by the first
 rain of any consequence since
 May 4. The rain was accompa- nied by a severe electric and
 wind storm, but no damage is reported being done to property or growing crops. During the period since May 4, all records for extremely hot weather have been broken for June, and the latter part of May. Despite the fact that practically no rain has fallen for almost ten weeks, the crops have stood the dry, hot weather well. It is said that most of the old corn is entirely ruined for lack of rain and that the recent rainfall will not help it much, but it is believed that later plantings will yet make a fair yield. Cotton in some plac- es is damaged, but with the ex- ception of later plantings the crop is above the average, and a good yield is expected with most planters. Some report the finest outlook on their plant ations that they have had in many years.

Publicity Prmotes Good Gov
 ernment.

II.
 There seems to be no reason
 that would appeal to sensible
 people why towns, counties anc
 state government should be ir
 debt. Many towns in Arkansas
 are not in debt according to re-
 ports made to the Greater Ar.
 kansas Association at Little
 Rock recently. We have nc
 data as; regards how many
 counties in Arkansas are out of
 debt or whose scrip is worth par, but this general rule may
 be stated. The better the aver age administration over a term of years, the greater the value of scrip and the less the amount of public debt. The peo- pie have a right to expect a business-like administration of public affairs and in many places in Arkansas they are getting it. If they are getting it in some places they should be able to get it in all places.
 A law that will have direct bearing upon the efficiency with which public affairs are admin istered is Act No. 3, known as the Publicity law, which will be voted on by the people in the September election. This law provides that the public officials shall give detailed reports through the newspapers, of funds and public affairs.
 !, The fact that these reports have to be compiled and pub lished, is the thing that will works sweeping improvement in our methods of handling pub lie business. No business cor poration handling the thous- ands of dollars or weighty af- fairs that the average public of- ficial handles would think of op- erating without making detail ed reports to the stockholders or if it were tried, the stock holders wouldn't stand for it very long. You are stock holder in the concern to which you pay taxes and have right to know what is being done with your money. By supporting Act No. 3 and by getting your friends to work for it and vote for it, you will be doing pub- lie sevice.

Finds 93-Grain : Pearl.

It was a glodious Fourth of
 July for Vim. Churchill Of Cali
 co Rock last Saturday morning
 when he was struck by a streak of luck and found 93-grain pearl at a point above town.
 The pearl is one of the largest
 to ever be found in this part of White river and Mr. Churchill
 has had some good cash offers for the gem, the largest offer being $450. We understand the pearl is being held for a higher price and it is quite likely that the offer will be accepted with in a short time. The pearl is a pealer and is an extra large find.
 Many pearl diggers have been in he river the past several days and a goodly quantity of mussel shells have been marketed, though the present small rise in the river has re- tarded the work to a great ex- tent, but work will reopen as soon as the river goes down, and more good finds are expected soon.-Calico Rock Progress.

Interstate Commerce Commis- sion Strongly Condemns Waste and Profligacy
 of New Haven.
Press Dispatch.

EUmteQ PreSS L1Spatch. Washington, D. C., July 13.- A denunciation of the manag- CTS of the. New Haven railroad and a condemnation of it's poli- cy was contained in the report today of the Interstate Com lmerce Commission investiga- tion. The West Chester deal was characterized as "A story of profligate waste of public l funds"
 The report declared that the road was not necessary as a part of the system because par |allel with it's other lines. The purchase of the Rhode Island Trolleys was cited as another instance of millions wasted in acquiring property that would bring an annual deficit instead |of a surplus and constitute a de- billy to the New Haven System.
 The report further condemns the acquisition of the Boston & Maine road, saying that it
 
 would probably have continued to pay dividends if it had re- mained in the hands of the for ner management.
 The report of the commission lis regarded as the most con- demnatory document ever issu- ed by the Commerce Commis- sion. The report declares that the directors consciously violat- led tho Federal Anti-Monopoly laws but does not attempt to fix the responsibility between Mellen and Morgan. It con- demns the control generally, and declares that it is up to the Department of Justice to act upon the Commissions finding in making the directors crimin- ally reSnOnSihle A cornn;c- |sion official has stated that Folk said the directors were directly responsible for the total loss to the stockholders through mis- management, which was some where between sixty and nine |ty million dollars.

TAFT WILL NOT

McReynolds, Lane Or Lehman Considered For LurtOn Va cancy On Supreme
 Bench.
United Press Dispatch.


 Washington, D. C., July 13.- It is stated authoritatively to- day that ex-President Wm. H. Taft has not been considered but that a democrat would posi- lively be named to succeed the late Justice Lurton, who died Sunday at Atlantic City. Attor- ney General McReynolds, Secre- tary Lane, Frederick w. Leh- man of St. Louis are considered che most likely to receive ap- pointment.
 At the White House it was stated that it is doubtful if the president will fill the vacancy soon as he desires to consider the appointment thoroughly. He may act before congress ad- Journs however to secure the confirmation of his appoint ment before the October term opens. The body of Justice Lurton was brought here this evening with Marshall Wright of the supreme court in charge of the funeral arrangements.
