Cat Story.

Our friend Ike Wilson comes for
ward with an interesting eat story. He
represents that Hiram French drowned
the family feline s litter of newly bonn
kittens. Thcrcupon Mrs. Cat repaired
to the neighboring hillside and con
scripted brood of baby rabbits, and is
proving n good mother to them. We
take it that they will become very play
full under her influence, and eventually
will become good mousers, if they do
not hear the call of the wild and run

MONTPELIER STILL CLOSED UP.
Rigid Quarantine to Remain in Force
for Present.

The Montpelier board of health met
Wednesday to ascertain what could be
done about modifying present quaran-
tine regulations. 1t was decided not to
modify the regulations this week, but
1t was the sense of the members that if
no new cases of infantile paralysis de-
velop they would modify the rules
next Wednesday. Public gatherings of
all kinds have been forbidden since
the last week in June and children I'M
der 10 have been quarantined ON their
home premises for four weeks. If the
regulations are altered next week it
will be to release the children from
quarantine, but public gatherings will
still be prohibited.

Kansas City Live Stock Market.

Kansas City Tuesday, July II. We
have $4,000 cattle in the first two
days of the week, 1000 on sale to-
day, top 1890. record price. All
good cornfed stuff is steady, all
other kinds unevenly lower; COM
mon and medium stockers the lowest
of the year. A large per cent of the
receipts is common and medium
dry-weather stuff.
The yards are blocked and the
Kansas City Stock Yards Company is
unable to handle the trade. There
aren't enough men to take the cattle
from the scales, and it is a fright
the way the cattle have to stand in
the alley before being weighed.
We expect a liberal run the re-
mainder of the week and mean
market. We quote good to choice
steers $12.10 q 1890: medium to
fair, $1,000 to $11.55. Good to choice
fat COWS, 1925 to $1,000, medium,
$500 to $500.

County Assessor Sam Torreyson
was greatly embarrassed last week
when he found the State Tax Com
mission intended to force him, and
all the other assessors of the State,
to assesses all property at its "full
cash" value. He must follow the re,
quirement or face heavy fine. AS
a consequence the bulk of every
body's taxes next year will be higher,
as to State taxes at least. But the
County Court will relieve the situa
ton somewhat by fixing the levy af-
ter the assessment is made to fit the
needs of the county as heretofore.
