She had started up the stair and seemed seized with a fainting fit and fell sustaining such serious injuries that concussion follow.

With rail roads better equipped to handle business this year than last , cattle supplies are coming more freely than usnal for September , and the market is naturally declining.

Prime steers are scarce and higli , one lot today sell ing at $7.25 , the high figure for this year , although numerous lots have bold during the- last few months at $7.10 to $7.20. Good corn fed steers bring $0 to $0.75 short fed steers 65.25 to $ (5 ( , fancy heifers up to $5.00 , and top cows $1.75. Grass steers declined slightly last week and are a shade lower today , but they meet a good demand and ready sale , good weight , westerns at $1.25 to $1.85 , a few up to $5.25 , common and rough steers at Stf.75 to $1. Cows and heifers have borne the brunt of the declines lately , losing 15 to 25 cents last week and 10 lowijr todayheifers celling at $15 to $1.25 miiinly , cows $2.75 to $ ,5.(55 ( , bulls $2.:35 : to $15.75.

Frost , rector nf f St. .lames IJjpisuopiil church. hint night outwitted David 13. Richardson , alleged to bo a clever swindler , and handed him over to the police. Richardson made preliminary calls on minitiier , arranged for a baptismal service , and later returned to report a dis- treeing accident. Under this plea he would secure funds. Frost entrapped him and an oilicer uanght the schemer while trying to bunco a divine. Air. Frost claims he was bilked by Richardson in Lincoln sevepal months ago.- Cell for Abe Ruef. Abraham Ruef , the convicted boss of the Schmitv. administra tion , who IMS been living in luxurious quarters in rented house under guard of Klison William J. Biggy , must now go to the city prison. Biggy has been appointee chief of police and no one hiiM been selected to talco liia place as guardian of Ruef. Biggy has decided that he will remove the fallen boss to the city prison , where he can watch him as chief of police and elisor , too. Ruef is expected to give im portant evidence in the trolley bribery cases of Patrick Calhoun and T. L. Ford , the corporation lawyer , now trail before Judge Lawler. It is whispered that his "privilegeb" at the city prison will depend largely on the extent of his "coming through" for tlie prosecution at the bribery trials. "Quincy Adams Sawyer" The Gehlintj Theatre was open ed Thursday night for the sea son with"Quincy Adams Sawyer'1 on the boards. A fair house for an opcr.ing night greeted the play. The book ' 'Quincy Adams Sawyer" has had a wide popular ity because it was a clean whole- home stof ) and the drainati/iation is as well received for the same reason- The east was a good one each making the best of his part and pleasing the audience. Karl Hewitt in the pleasing character of Quincy Adams Sawyer had a pleasing self possession which put the audience in sympathy with him. Perhaps the hardest character wasAlice Pettengill the blind girl and was played with feeling by Miss Dinsmore , while Miss Wright and the other ladies of the company made good in their rolls , Miss Inman in her triple roll being best as Mrs. Put- man. The play is interesting and appeals strongly to the pub lic. George Gilligan left 'Tuesday for Mexico , Mo. , where he will attend a tniletary school for the ensuing year. Miss Dorrthea White left Wednesday for Lincoln where she enters upon her first year at the State University. Mrs. John Oswald returned last Thursday from a two weeks visit to relatives in Stella. She was accompained by her sister. Mrs. Young and her little daughter who vistcd over Sun day with her. Henry Meyers returned Sunday night from a tr.ip of several months in California. Tie has spent considerable time with Ins son. Perry who has a fi n e position with a wholesale house. He has seen most of California and many interesting western places of interest and is thoroughly roughly delighted with the west. Equality. We attain to the doctrine of equality by degrees. We begin by thinking ourselves better than others. Tins proves uu. satisfactory. We encounter refutations of our superiority In ways that inconvenience or Humiliate us. We forsake our pedestal only to mount another i little nearer to the ground. We now say we are different from others. This much really seems due to ourselves , a cwi- cession that self-respect de mands. We atr happy for a time in our differentiated position. But by and by not even this satisfies us. Is it worth while to differentiate ourselves from our fellows ? Is it not the -superiority in a new form , ? We step down on the . Around , hardly knowing how to behave ourselves ; for the airs of our past elevation still cliiig to us. Gradually we learn that our rank is a matter of no real importance , of no vital interest to genuine people anywhere. What is real im portance and ol vital interest is whether we can seYce. society. Whether that service take the form of direct cooperation or of individual effort is insignilicant. It is the service that counts , and this being a thing of spirit is always supreme in quality. As the love and the joy of it grows upon us , we lose siget of ourselves. This is the teach able attitude , the method by which we rise into companion ship , the ilower and aroma of all service. And having at tained equality we say little about it. The Circle. MADE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE Same Offer of Bargains , Put In Dif ferent Form , Quickly Cleared Store of Stock. A merchant in a western city wns desirous of reducing his stock with out delay , and was willing to make n liberal sacrifice of profits to do fio. He. announced a 20 to 525 per cent , reduction sale. It waH honii-fldu and the prices had heon cut , hut Iho public had seen such announce ments before and was slow to come in. The merchant was discouraged. Then he had an idea. The newspa pers next day carried big "ads" an nouncing that at this store every fourth yard or every fourth article of the same price would ho sold for nine cents , no matter whether it was worth ten cents or $ .10. A wom an came in to buy an article which cost five dollars. She houtrht two others which cost the same amount , and then a fourth , for which she paid only nine cents. The fourth , eighth and twelfth ynrds _ of every kind of cloth went for nine cents. The store was packed and jammed and the flock cleared up in a hurry. Yet it was practically the same Ufi per cent , reduction sale which had licen advertised so unsuccessfully. The proposition was merely put in a more convincing way. THE LAW OF COMPENSATION. Bridget had been going out a great deal , and her husband , Mike , was displeased. "Bridget , where do yc spend yer toinie nights ? Ye're out iv'ry avcnin' fur two weeks , " he said. 'Shut up , Mike ! I'm gcttin' an I'd Station , " she answered. "An' phwat are ye loarnin' ? " said her indignant husband. "Why , to-night wo learned about the laws of compensation. " "Compensation , " said Michael. "What's that ? " "Why , I can't explain ; but fur in stance , if the sense of smell is poor , the sense of llmste is all the sharper , and if yc/ are blind , ye can hear all flic better. " "All , yes , " said .Mike thoughtful ly. "I see it's loiko this. Fur in stance , if a man is born wid wan leg shorter than the other , the other is longer. " Sunday Magazine. HURT HIS FEELINGS.

' " 1 WOULD NOT BE DOWNED How Henry Plumlcy Turned What Mnny Would Consider Mlnfortune Into Glittering Success. "Nothing succeeds like porsover- cnce , " said Mark Twain at a dinner. "When the luck seems most against us , then wo should work and hope hardest of all. In moments of dis couragement let us remember my old friend 1'lumlcy of Virginia City. " ' collar fac "Henry I'luinloy ran a tory. Times were reputed to he hard with him. When his factory , which was very heavily insured , mmed down , there \his every in dication that he had set the place on lire himself in order to get the insurance money. Virginia City was the soul of honor in those days. Shocked beyond words , it rose en masse , pel zed Henry I'luiuley , put a halter round his neck , and lynched him. "Hut he did not die. The sheriff arrived and cut him down in time. 1I ! was tried and found guilty , and he served a term in jad. "On his release you wouldn't have thought that he'd return to Virginia City again , eh ? He did , though. He came hack , reopened his collar factory and prospered. "What , gave him bin start was Hie odd advertisement with which lie announced bin return to business among us. Proceeded by a brass hand , Henry , in a great gilt chariot , burst upon our streeiH. lie sat on a kind of golden throne , and he held on a crimson cushion in his la ] > an old , * old collar.

Inhabitants in the region of Xion's Will , Lee county , Virginia , are greatly puzzled ovoj > , the discovery of a strange bird in the mountains near by by .1. K. Witt , a merchant of that place. The bird is of great six.e , measuring nine foot from tip to tip. The feathers are perfectly white , except the tijis of the wings , which are black. Its head and bill are 18 inches in length , its webbed feet are seven inches'across. A grt-at pouch under its bill holds a gallon of water , and this gives Hie idea that the bird must be of the pelican family , found in soul hern waters. It is supposed Hint tlio bird was driven to the north by a storm and lost its bcar- 'ings. It will be brought to ICnox- ville , Tenn. , mounted and exhib ited.
