transcribed a number of hearings for
Attorney Seymour and in several in

his shorthand report of one case for
Attorney Seymour when the defend

LIVE STOCK REPORT

To-day's hog market was fully as
good as yesterday and there was a
rather generous movement of the 10,-
900 head on sale. A top Of $7.20 was
made by city buyer for some select
ed butcher swine but he sorted closely
to secure the kinds suitable for his
needs. The bulk of the good 1870 to
230 pound hogs brought 81 to $715,
with rough hogs at So to $6.25. Pigs
steady with rs to 10 pounds selling at
$6.25 to $6.75, and peewees $5.25 to
$5.75.
Where shippers were to be inter-
ested in the choice 260 to 300 pound
hogs, sales were made at $6.95 to ST.
05, but the same kinds if left to pack
ers brought $3.50 to $6.95.
Buyers will undoubtedly fight any
prospect of material advance in
prices owing to the fact that st. Louis
is so much higher than other Western
markets, but there is good under
current to the trade at present values
and buyers want 'em.
The fat steer market lost yester-
days wire edge, closing 10c to 15c
lower today leaving the trade but
steady with last Friday. The butcher
market was dull with values 15c to
25c lower than the close Of last week
though Gamers and bulls sold steady
with the decline quoted yesterday.
Sheep receipts 1900. The market
is very high. To-day's trade was 25t
higher; top 5000 for Western-feC
lambs, with ewes at $8.25. Bucks 81
. Clipped stuff 81 to $3.50 under thes,

FROM MINING AND sCIENTIF-
&c PRESS.

Retirement of Mr. o. M. Bilharz
from the service of the st. Joseph
Lead Company loses to that concern
one Of its most capable employees,
and one whose sound ideas of tech
nology and sterling character have
contributed greatly to its success.
The st. Joseph and Doe Run Compa-
nies, now joined, have succeeded in
spite of rather than by virtue of the
direction given them by their titu-
lar managers. Our readers are al
ready informed Of the situation,
which is, in effect, that the control
of the companies has been Inherited
by men who have at the same time
failed to inherit the knowledge and
genius for hard work that marked the
pioneers of the company. Second
growth hickory has always been at
discount in the Middle-West and the
second generation of mine owners
often warrants the same prejudice
The recent substitution Of Mr.. g, II
Crane for Mr.. D. A. Jones as Presi-
dent has not helped greatly. The
fundamental trouble is that men moi
skilled in technology insist upon pass
ing upon technical questions and the
able men Of the staff Of the ST. 10
seph Company are not given a free
hand. A designer Of power boats MAY
be an excellent business adviser ane
50 properly the head Of the board q
i board Of directors, but he is not
unless otherwise qualified, fitted t
handle the complex managemcnt q
50 technical q business as mining a1is
smelling lead ore, while long distance
management will break any COMPANY
that is not too rich to spoil, as seems
true Of the st. Joseph.

FROM AMONG THE SHOWERS OF
TRIBUTES TO HON. FP.
GRAVES, WE PRESENT
THIS FLOWER.

Though AIN now engaged in farm
ing, | have never lost interest in the
great lead mining industry of St,
Francois County. have never owned
any stock in any of the great lead
companies operating these mines,
hence it cannot be said that my inter-
est is purely selfish.
But for many years was employed
by the Doe Run Lead Co., under the
management of Mr.. f. P. Graves. l
can say that to be associated with
Mr.. Graves even in a subordinate ca
pacity is indeed a pleasure His fidel-
ity and loyalty to his company could
not in my judgment be surpassed; his
kindness and regard for the men in
his charge inspired an interest al
most as vital to them as if they were
stockholders instead of employees.
The untiring efforts of this esteemed
gentleman, both in behalf of his COM
pany, which he SO faithfully served
for more than three decades, and the
men employed under him, whom it
pleased Mr.. Graves to treat as his
fellow-men--I say, Mr.. Editor, it was
his efforts that in a great measure
accounts for the development and
success of the lead mining industry,
not only of the Doe Run Co., but of
the whole county of st. Francois,
which is the greatest in the world.
And now coming to what is the
chief purpose of my remarks, ! be-
lieve that all those who have known
Mr.. Graves as l have, and who have
learned of the unkindness and un-
gratefulness with which he has been
treated at the hands Of the "young
bloods" whom it appears have been
debating the policy of the company
since the passing away of their fa-
Tiers, who. were the worthy friends
and associates of Mr.. Graves in the
building up Of the company, cannot
but be justly proud and thankful that
there is one man of large holdings in
the company, in the person Of Mr..
Robert Holmes who, it appears, ap-
preciates the sterling worth Of Mr..
Graves.
| Mr.. Holmes is certainly to be com
mended for his ceaseless efforts and
commanding ability to obtain results,
| looking to the welfare of not only
| the stockholders of this great com
pany, but the welfare of all those who
depend upon the successful operation
of the mines for livelihood for them
selves and their families as well as
the great community in which we
live. Let it be hoped that Mr.. Holmes
will, by his great foresight, Judgment
and business acumen, be able to an
chor these "young bloods" to the pol
icies of their fathers and, Mr.. Graves,
who were the pioneers of the industry
and so successfully built up the great
| business of so much importance to
this county, under infinitely greater
difficulties than those confronting
them to-day.

BATTLE OF SHILO AS SEEN BY
CAPT. w. A. KENNEDY.

This morning, April 8, 1862, So
years ago, your writer, then young
man, looked over the battlefield of
Shilo, where 10000 brave men lost
their lives in the terrible battle that
ragged for two days. My regiment,
the Sth Kentucky Cavalry brigaded
with the 9th Pennsylvania, 3rd Ken
lucky and 1st Kentucky. Hatcher's
brigade took part in this desperate
struggle, and after driving the Con-
federates back to their Notifications
at Corrinth, Miss, returned to our
camps to find our tents burned and
the woods and cotton fields strewn
with dead. General Grant states in
his memoirs, that on this small cot
ton field more dead men lay than on
any field he ever looked over. No
one that never looked on scene like
this can form the least idea, but to
the old soldier the picture is as vivid
as it were but yesterday. On this
little plat Of ground, about ten
acres, the dead lay 50 thick that you
could step from corpse to corpse all
over the field. Dead men, dead hors-
es, broken cannon, guns, blankets,
hats, everything, scattered in this
field. | have written this short story
to say that no tongue can depict this
horrible sight.

important streets in Pennington and
should be kept in proper condition.
While the rain that has just fallen
will keep the dust down for some time

dustIess road will be felt quite strong
