a great factor in the develop
ment of a country and the need
of same has been felt for a long
time in this section. The road
running east and north from
town is probably travelled as
much as any highway in the
county and is badly in need of
repairs. here has never

agree with your views. Editor
Mr.. Editor.-Wc have been
reading in your columns of the
influence OF benefits derived
from patronizing home institu-
tons. Those articles were
good and sensible. If as good
an article can be procured at
home for the same money,
there is the place to buy. 1t IS
hard to convince d customer
that he should pay more at
home for anything than he can
buy the same goods elsewhere
and pay transportation, 1t is
not natural for people to pay
a higher price for goode in one
store than another in the same
town. Especially is this true
of groceries or goods OF the
same make or brand.
Now We have comparatively
a new enterprise in town. 1t is
a bakery. The people in the
business have new quarters and
are equipped to and in my
judgement make as good bread
as here is in town. If this is
true and they will compete
with those shipping bread into
town, why not buy bread at
home? These people buy -four
and all else they use here. Ii
their products have not the
quality, OF if they cannot sell
to the public as cheap as others
can put this product in town,
it is up to them. Investigate
and satisfy yourselves. If the
people who handle bread want
us to trade with them they
should get prices of our home
bakery. The firm in question
report that they have disposed
Of only 1888 loavcs of bread in
the last twenty three days, not
counting the cakes, pies, etc.
Let US all pauonIze this ia
stitution if it merits it and use
our other business houses like,
wise. We have no fight to
make on other cities products.
Other cities work for them
selves. We must work tor

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Feb. 1S.-Receipts of
cattle for the midweek session was
on the liberal order, some 100 ears
or $500 head. as against 2.334 a
week ago and 1897 the correspond
ing day a year ago.
Shifting of values in the fat cat
tie trade continued to show a further
development of strength, despite the
expansion of receipts at the local
market. Wires from eastern centers
reported light runs and stronger
trend and this was a favorable cir
cumstance that aided sellers in get
ting action. Shippers were operating
as well as the local packers and clear
ance was made at a seasonable hour.
Stock cattle values were unchang-
ed as compared with yesterday, tes-
timony of appreciable betterment as
compared with late last week was
unanimous among both the buyers
and sellers.
Weihgt of numbers caused a a
ton in the hog market that carried
values a full dime lower than on yes
terday. Top for the day was $3.50.
while the bulk of the sales ranged
from s6.52h @6.55.
A good lively call vas had for
both lambsand matured sheep at the
local market and prices were quoted
strong to a dime higher than on
Tuesday. Top lambs reached the So
mark.

Donald remarked, pointing to a much
bedraggled native who had entered the
compound and was evidently waiting
for some one.
That's my old servant" he contin-
ued. IF you will excuse me I'll so and
hear what be has to tell u.s."
Ruth and John watched the two OF
them for some time, the tall, carefully
dressed Englishman and the dirty ma
tive.
They could see that the latter was
much excited. and toward the last Sir
Donald himself seemed to lose a little
Of his aplomb.
Finally they saw him nod CURLY to

pavement. A moment later he had re-
joined them. His usually placid face
bore an expression of anxiety.

struggle I'm his own mind. 1t had
brought him to an acknowledgment OF
the fact that she was the only woman
he wanted for his wife.
On the very tick OF her hour of trou-
bile he had ventured TO ask his reward
for service.
She had promised, and now he, baro-
net and retired officer of the British
army. shook like a boy at the thought
OF the happiness that awaited him.
They met at breakfast. Dorr still
showing the effects of his nights ad-

Their natural topic Of conversation
was or DORIS attempt TO capture the

John could give little satisfaction to
Ruth's minute inquiries. and the Eng
lishman confessed that he himself,
though much more familiar with the
native Ways and native temples, had
not much notion OF exactly how 1t had
oil come about nor how he had found
Dorr and extricated him.
The only thing ! gather from 1t all

Sir Donald looked at Ruth meaning

you say it's an III wind that blows no
one any good"
Instantly Ruth caught his meaning
and her eyes fell. Yes, she had prom

had risked his life for her sake should

that he would yet get the plans.

JAPANESE De MANDS YELLED
Memorandum to Powers Said to Have
Omitted Certain Items.

Picking, Feb. 1S.-If information
of presumably well informed sources,
both foreign and Chinese, is correct
the memorandum recently given by
the Japanese legation to the diplo-
matte representatives here OF the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Russia, respecting the demands
of the Toxic government on China
omits certain OF the requirements
originally presented to Picking.
These negotiations, which began
late in January, had for their object
the determination of the future status
of Japan's relations with China and a
decision respecting certain questions
regarding the future development of
the Chinese republic. Their course
has been guarded with great secrecy.

His volunteering to join John Dorr

last winter. At that time s4.00o was awarded The suit was for S10,o0o and 1t is understood that some of the jurors were in favor of that sum Tues day. Others wanted to award as low as S2,O00, but the figure of $500 was finally reached, after an hours delib- eration.
 Most of the time Tuesday was taken up by the Identification of the X-ray photographs taken last week of the plaintiff at Dr. O'Neilfs oface here, and by the arguments. After the pho tographs had been introduced in evil dence, and Dr. O'Neill had told what he thought they showed, Drs. Root, Yergason and Mason for the plaintiff testified that the X-rays are too cloudy and fndistinet to be of any value what ever. Some further medical testifnony was given in regard to ctrrhosis of the liver, the defense, and the spicula of bone, claimed by the plaintiff to be the cause of his symptoms. and then followed the arguments, which began in the afternoon. Attorney Barnett argued for the New Haven road and Charles A. Capen for the plaintiff. Judge Greene's charge was admitted by both sides to be eminently fair, and to the point.
 The jury retired at 4.45 and just an hour later came in with the verdict.
