1t Is a habit with a good many peo-
pie about town to throw handbills in
to automobiles standing along the
streets. The automobile owners
throw them out on the street and
the wind picks them up and drifts
them in around the buildings making
very great fire menace. This prac-
tice must be stopped at once.
Every citizen will please clear
their premises of all dead leaves,
straw. hay, dead brush. etc. We are
short at the present time OF water
for fire protection and a little extra
care on your part will be greatly ap-
preciated.
Allow no hay, straw, corn fodder
or other coarse feed to be stacked
outside your buildings. There is
quite a. heavy fine for disregarding
any of the above. ] certainly do not
wish to make trouble for any one,
but we must have the city cleaned

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Sept. 25.-Hog receipts
continued light today, there being
only around $500 in the yards. This
number, however, compares well with
the 1904 received a week ago and
shows a fair increase over the 2,103
of the same day last year.
The market today continued the
downward course of all of last week
and was quoted around 25c lower on
the general run, with choice lots of
assorted lights close to steady. Ship
ping demand revived today, and ship
pers for the first time in three days
were actively bidding for hogs. The
general weakness of the market,
however, caused them to bid lower
and to buy their hogs at weak fig
ures. Packing grades of hogs made
up the bulk in the yards and the
packers showed no inclination to bid
actively, causing a dull session
throughout.
Top hogs sold at $19.55, and the
bulk of sales was made at from
$18.75 019.00.

Children and Fairies.

To the children fairies stand for all
the wonderful and unpredictable posi-

its charm of nnezpectedness, says the
Atlantic Monthly. A child Is a bit pug
zled by the inevitable; In the fairy
world it does not exist. In that world
he slips away from the world of grown
ups, with its endless consequences re-
mOrselessly bounding the gay, irre-
sponsible little child doings. He loves
the grownups and 1t is pot from them
that he wishes to escape, but from
their world, their difficult, unylelding
world,
