weighing 10 pounds ard up sold at
the low level of $l5.75 to $3.50 and
it was a stubborn proposition to eff
feet many sales even at that range
and the prospects We're that many,
many loads would be carried over I'M
sold. Fat hogs are not plentiful, and
we can see no occasion to retard the
movement of these sorts, but stock
men should lend an ear to the fact
that it is an inopportune time to liqui-
date their habitat and unfinished
hogs.
SHEEP.-A striking feature of this
trade during the past week has been
the activity of the big packers E. for
top offerings, they paying the crest of
the market, namely, $3.50 today,
whereas a week ago they wanted the
best lambs at $14.75, while city butch
ers at that time were paying SIS to
$15.25 for the top. Thus it will be
seen that the big fellows have been
very energetic operators on the finish
ed lambs and from their relative ba-
sis of buying the market is 75c high
err. though basing the market general
ly with last weeks market, regardless
Of the buyer, today's sales will ave-
rage generally 25s higher. The trade
on the different varieties of sheer
has not fuctuated to any extent what,
ever, offerings of these sorts being
negotiated at stationery prices com.
pared with week ago.

MUCH HARD LUCK
Mrs. Carrie Sherer Tells Story
of Many MisfOrtunes.
Mother Left Her With Small
Brother To Support.
MARRIAGE AND MORE TROUBLE
Husband Takes Her Back After
Soldier Episode.
Fifteen-Year.Old Sister Held by
Juvenile Officers.
MARRIAGE AND MORE TROUBLE

Mrs Carrie Sherer, 1900 North
Western avenue, who was picked up
by the police Wednesday during an in
vestigation which involved her sister
Christine Faidley, Eula Earl and three
soldiers from Camp Funston, has gone
back to her husband, Vernon Sherer, it
was learned today. The story of the
Sherers gives one the impression that
they have a liberal share of hard
luck"
Her mother dying when she was
but 1 years old, Mrs. Sherer, it seems,
was left with a. small brother to sup
port. Then she married Sherer, a
baby came; her father, who had mar
ried again, died and Sherer found him
self facing heavy financial obligations.
1t seems that Mrs. Sherer became dis
couraged and. in time, fell into the
habit of keeping company with GER
tain soldiers.
Little Fellow Wanderer.
The little brother, now eight years
old, was neglected and ultimately the
Provident association picked him up.
Miss Kate King and Kilmaurs King,
humane agents, later found, however,
that he was wandering the streets,
staying at night with whatever boy
friend might chance to take him
home. The boy was taken to the de-
tention home and placed in the care
of Mrs. W. D. Bundy and it was then
that the Kings began an lnVeStlgduOn
that gave them the true insight into
affairs. Mrs. Sherer, it seems, was
away a great deal at nights, leaving
her baby at home, and keeping COM
pany with soldiers. Her sister.
Christine Faidley. Is years old, who
boarded with her was also bit wild
it is said and the Kings obtained in
formation that led to the arrest of
the sisters. All made affidavits in the
office of the county attorney Wednes-
hotels on different occasions with SOL
diers One of these men-Sergt. Cecil
D. Myers, is said to be under arrest
at Camp Funston charged with a stat
utory offense against Christine
Faidley and it was stated today in the
office of the county attorney that the
man would be dealt with by the mill
tary authorities.
Husband Takes Her Back.
Sherer called at the Jail to see his
wife this morning and offered to take
her back, providing she would walk
in the straight and narrow path for
tie sake of their baby, which is now a
year old. He stated that he was now
in a. position where life looked brighter
and that if his wife would return to
him and take care of their baby their
home could yet be made happy.
Christine Faidley, who made affi-
davits confessing that she stayed al
the Thorne hotel with Myers last Sat
urday and Sunday nights, is now in
the keeping of the juvenile officers
The authorities seem to blame her to
a certain extent for the misfortune OF
her older sister.

VALVES ARE HERE
City Expects To Have Water
Plant Equipment Soon.
One Car Of Machinery Lost En-
Route to City.

A ray of hope begins to dawn in the
water situation. Part of the machin-
cry for the new pumps is on the way.
The check and gate valves for the two
low duty pumps. says Superintendent
Shaw, have already arrived. There
Is another car load which is now lost
somewhere on the road and which is
being traced by the railroads.
Commissioner Newland has received
word from the electrical company
building the machinery which will be
q part of the new outfit, that it has
completed its contract and has shipped
the machinery to the pump builders.
superintendent Shaw said this morn
ing that the rest of the machinery
could be expected soon. 1t is esti-
mated that after all the equipment is
on the ground it can be placed in
Operation within week.
Practically since Engineer G. E.
Hopper took hold of the pumping
Station pressure has improved and
has been kept up to normal most all
The time. If INSTRUMENTATION and fric-
tion among the employees at the plant
has been the cause of the failure OF
the water department to deliver the
required amount of water, as has been
reported, it seems evident that Hop
per has been able to smooth out the
rough spots. He has made no radical
changes in the mechanical operation
of the plant.

TAKE CARE OF ROADS
War Finance Committee Takes Up
Plans for Controlling Them.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The war
finance committee has begun making
plans for federal controlled railroads,
Secretary Glass announced today. Six
roads, SO far, have received financial
assistance from the government-Bal-
timore & Ohio, Southern, Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, Illinois Central and
Central of Georgia.
The revolving fund, provided the
railroad administration in the railroad
con 81 act. was not sufficient to meet
the demands of the various railroads
for funds. The question of 1oaning
money direct to the roads was taken
up with the result that a decision was
reached for the war finance corpora
ton to take over the financial burden
from the railroad administration. The
loans, said to aggregate about $43. 000,-
900, were made Independent of the
railroad administration at per cent

IS BACK IN U. S.
Maj. C. H. Mielke Returns to
Fort Riley
After Being Gassed and
Wounded in France.

(From Trench and Campo
Maj. Charles H. Mielke, surgeon in
charge of the 340th Machine Gun bat
talon of the Eighty-ninth division,
arrived at the base hospital at Fort
Riley last week.
Major Mielke was severely gassed in
action in the Toul sector on October
4 and also suffered machine gun
wound and was struck with a piece of
shrapnel.
Dugout Shelled.
Major Mielke's dressing station,
which was located in small dugout,
was shelIed about o'clock on the
morning of October 4, and Fritz kept
up the heavy Smelling, together with
the turning loose of large quantities of
mustard gas shells until daybreak.
One of the first shells tore the door
off the dugout and for hours the heavy
Smelling continued and every minute
Major Mielke and his staff thought the
next would be the last.
When daybreak came they were
rescued and taken to hospital back
of the lines The gas attack was SO
severe that all of Major Mielke's
clothes were burned off and the flesh
from the bottom of his feet to the
shoulders was blistered. His eyesight
was impaired for several weeks, but
he is gradually regaining his sight.
The wounds from the machine gun
and shrapnel are not severe and it is
thought he will soon recover.
Returned to United States.
Major Mielke returned to the states
on the first ship carrying overseas
casuals and for some time was sta
toned in a convalescent hospital in
New York, from which place he was
sent to the base hospital at Fort Riley.

find a quantity of liquor there; that
the sheriff came out with his deputies,
searched the place in the daytime and
that, altho <hey found no booze.
caused Henrickson great humiliation,
pain and mental anguish.
2 He says he has never violated the
bone dry law and that the defendants
knew this when they made the COM
plant; but that they and others "con-
Bpired and connived together" to ruin
his standing and bring him into pub
lie shame and disgrace.
Talk Behind His Back?
Henrickson appears to think that
there has been considerable talking
behind his back. He says that in July
Mrs. Reynolds told Mrs Myrtle Smith
basement and that the only reason
she knew for it was that they went
there to buy Intoxicating liquor.
He claims that someone told some
one else whose name ne does mol
know that he had a secret signal code
to let people alleged to frequent his
place know whether he had liquor in
Stock Or not and whether it would be
safe for them to come there He says
st was reported that these signals
consisted of hanging white and col
fored clothes in certain ways on the
fclothes line. He also charges that
Mrs. Reynolds told certain persons
zvhose names he does not know thai
he was very liable to set the Reynolds
Mouse on fire.
Says He Was Heavily Damaged.
q Henrickson says that these reports
together with the act of the sheriff il
searching his place have caused hin
great humiliation and mental anguish
and that he has been actually dam
aged in the amount of $4,000. He also
wants $4,000 exemplary damages
making a total sum of $1,000 which
he asks to recover.
