The receipts Of stock for the past week
were much heavier than for the pre-
vious week, but the demand was good,
and prices held firm except for hogs,
which dropped fraction. The renewal
of the epidemic Of the foot and mouth
disease has led to the establishment of
more drastic quarantine regulations. hut
stock can be shipped for immediate
slaughter, as for some months past The
reports that the Abattoir would be closed
even for these shipments were untrue,
and caused the light receipts a week ago,
which were made up to a large extent
by the shipments this week. Although

BABY IS KILLED
BY AUTO BEFORE
EYES Of MOTHER

Madison, Wis, Dec. Paul, the in
FAINT son of L. E. A. Kelso, instructor
at the University of Wisconsin, was
crushed to death by an automobile be-
fore the eyes Of his mother this after
noon.
The accident happened at Spooner
and Regent streets. Mr. and Mrs. Kel-
so and their little daughter and son
were returning to their home from an
afternoon walk. The auto, owned by
Capt. Fred Peabody of the fire de
partment, driven by William Lowe,
came down Regent street and turned
south on Spooner. The speed was so
great, however, that the machine ran
against the curb and upon the side
walk, striking Mr. Kelso and overturn-
ing the baby carriage.
The little boy was thrown from the
carriage under the front end of the
car and was dead when removed. Mr..
Kelso was dragged several feet and
severely bruised. Neither Lowe or
Mrs. Peabody, who were in the auto,
were injured.

Ioosening it to provide larger field
