MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Nov. 27.-Receipts of
cattle were very moderate, as is not
infrequently the case after a holiday
Only % cars, or 600 head, arrived
as against 1,161 a week ago and 376
the corresponding day year ago.
The small assortment of beef ma
terial at hand this morning met with
a good reception and changes were in
the way of further betterment mar
ket on both beef steers and butcher
stock being rated as strong TO a dime
higher than on the last market day.
No change was quoted on stockers
and feeders. Demand was not ur-
gent from any quarter, but, as the
quota at hand was light. clearance
was made at prices that matched up
closely with those prevailing on Wed
nesday.
Heavy receipts of porkers at east
ern eenters created bearishness at all
centers. Locally the market was
quoted 5 q 15c lower. with light
kinds showing most decline Top for
the day landed at $6.45. while the
bulk of sales were at $610 20 $40.
Arrivals of live mutton were on

Try Some Motor Races.

The horse racing problem is one
that has given fair officials steadily
increasing annoyance during the past
few seasons, Liberal purses have
failed to draw the large fields that
used to appear in the different events
while the races themselves have lack
ed the excitement that formerly char
acterized them. AS far as the stake
races are concerned this paper has
long been of the opinion that they are
not worth what they cost, especially
20 fair at the end of the circuit, like
Brattleboro. The big majority of the
folks who watch the races, at the fall
fairs care much less for the speed al
which the horses are travelling than
for their ability to race against each
other. Why wouldn't slower classes
and lower purses furnish much more
real sport at a much less cost Brat.

An Advance Untruth.

"Hon. e. C. Smith is one OF the
most selfish men in the state of Yer
mont.
Now don't take our word for it
read these facts:
"On Wednesday, September Is, a
long train of cars on the Central Yer
mont was held up for an hour near
White River Junction. On being ask
ed by reporter of The Advance, the
| conductor said, We are held up by a
special train.
Ten minutes later train whirled
by.
In The St Adams Messenger that
afternoon 1t said, President Smith
of the Central Vermont railroad went
to White River Junction on special

why should one man delay 500?
And assuming that he was in a hur-
ry how much did it cost the railroad
to run that special? And did Mr.
Smith pay for it? If Mr. Smith didn't
pay for it, the passengers in the de-
layed train did.
And the Central Vermont pre-
sumes to call itself a public service
corporation.

kuRoPATKIN RECEIVES POST
Remarkable Reversal of Fortunes Of
81 Russian Soldier


Russian Soldier.
London, Oct 1--General Alexi
Kuropatkin has been appointed chief
of the Russian grenadier corps, ac-
cording to a Reuter- dispatch from
petrograd.
If the report regarding General
Kuropatkin is true it means a some
what remarkable reversal of the for
tunes of a Russian soldier. General
Kuropatkin's poor success as com
mander of Russia's great Manchurian
army in the war with Japan, which
led to his supersession by General
Linevitch, was at the time believed
to be largely attributable to his sub
ordination to Admiral AleXeiv, Rus
sian viceroy in the Far East, and to
friction among the generals. In his
history of the war, however, he frank
ly admitted his own mistakes and
paid high tribute to the gallantry of
his troops, who had been sent into
battle under unfavorable conditions.
General Kuropatllin, who was born
in 1S4S, entered the army at the age
of 16 In the war of 1S77-7S against
Turkey he earned a great reputation
lie was made major general at the
age of 81, eight years later became
lieutenant general and in 1903 hav-
ing acquired in peace and war the
reputation of being one of the fore
most soldiers in Europe, he quilted
the post of minister Of war and took
command of the Russian army then
gathering in Manchuria for the con-
test with Japan.

thinks it a public duty to do so, for
The Advance has undertaken to
roam over the whole field Of Vermont
activities in its condemnatory and
censuring way, and, if 1t be guilty OF
unworthy conduct in one group OF
instances, it is fair and unescap-
able inference that such will be its
attitude in the many instances.
The Advance says that on We'd
nesday, September Is, eight cars full
of passengers, on the hottest day in
the year, had to wait an hour in or
der that Mr.. Smith might be rushed
to the fair" There is not a single
semblance OF truth in that assertion.
Mr. Smith was not on any special
train or car ON that day nor did the
news item which is credited to this
paper appear in The Messenger on
that day. 1
Thursday, September 16, President
Smith left ST. Adams by special train
for Montpelier and Barre for the
the transaction of business, as told of
in the public press of that day, and
for a conference with President Hus-
tbs of the Boston & Maine, who join
ed him there and proceeded with him
TO White River Junction. From there
President Smith went south for an
inspection of the Southern New
England railroad He did not go to
the fair, as The Advance says he did,
because of pressing business engage
ment.
AS President Smith was not on a
special on the day The Advance
mentions, he could not have held up
any passenger train on that day. An
examination of the train sheets in
the dispatcher's Office for the day
when Mr.. Smith was on the road,
shows that no train, either passenger
or freight, was held up, which means
that the statement used by The Adj
vance as basis of its condemna-
ton of Governor Smith is false,
hood, either deliberate or the result
OF ignorance.
For The Messengers purpose it
makes no difference whether it was
deliberate or because of ignorance.
The Misrepresentation is made in
either event. and as such serves as a
potent object lesson to Vermonters
that they should be on their guard
against any utterance of The Adj
vance under its present editorship.
For, IL the falsehood were intention
al, it becomes Immediately evident
that they cannot put any trust in
the utterances of one man who would
resort to such tactics, and if it be the
result of ignorance. the effect is the
same, for man who has no higher
conception of his duties and obliga-
tons and no more respect for the
rights of others than to be willing to
do injury to any man or business
through ignorance, can hardly be
conceded to be of sufficient callber
to permit of his comments and OBJ
legations possessing weight, Neither
deception nor ignorance is worship

THERE ARE STILL TRAPPERs
Who Manage To Live in the Old Way
East as Well as West


Not far from Louisville but across
the river, in Indiana, Peter Mcdaniel,
trapper, whose home was a solitary
cabin at Beaver hole, on Fourteen
mile creek, is dead. He lived to be
II years old. During the last 20
years of his life he earned sufficient
for his modest bachelor necessities
by following calling which in the
popular mind is associated with the
frontier during the period in which
white men gradually worked their
way west from the Atlantic coast, and
before there were transcontinental
railways.
Every youth who is healthy is by
nature an adventurer. Those who
have been born in flats and brought
up in the streets may become men,

and peace-guarding policemen as the
natural enemy of their kind. But that

The mercenary side of the great
war is best known by the crisis in
the Balkans. Visitors to these coun-
tries even before the Balkan war say
that the most notable things there
were ignorance and poverty, dirt and
dishonesty. Particularly Bulgaria
and Servia have made no progress in
500 years and are about as far ad-
vanced as the half savage MeXicans
of the mountain regions of Mexico,
Rumania is slightly better Tor the
reason that the soil is more fertile
and the people are not quite so des-
perately poor. Yet the war had no
sooner opened than England, Ger
many and Russia promptly tried to
secure the aid of Greece, Bulgaria
and Rumania. Greece is not Balk-
an nation, but is often enormously
included as one because her near
ness. Apparently the German in
iuence has preponderated in Bulgar-
ia, British in Greece and Russian in
Rumania, while Servia and Montene-
gro were definitely on the side of
England and Russia from the start.
In saying that the consideration in
these cases is mercenary, it does not
mean that so much money is offered
and taken. The money is used more
indirectly. In the case of Bulgaria
it was pointed out that the Bulgar-
ians did the greatest part Of the work
in the war against Turkey in 1912
and then Bulgaria was robbed of the
fruits of her victory by Servia,
Greece and Rumania Greece has
'fretted for years over, the holding of
Grecian islands by Turkey and Eng
land offered to restore these islands
and certain parts of the mainland if
Greece would join the allies against
Turkey. Rumania is largely north
OF the Danube and her business ties
with Russia and her exposure TO Rus
sian threat of attack were used to
force her to take sides with her great
northern neighbor. The Balkan vol
cano has smouldered for months, but
the eruption seems now to be at
hand.
