The week has been n tiad one for cattle , and prices have broken bad y on all grades , rsprohuly on the pretty good grass nnd corn foil steers. 1'rlcca were weak nt tlin opening of the week , nnd notwith standing n rapid fulling off In receipts the m irkot wont from bad to worse , nnd the bronk In values amounts to from 3 c to We. Shippers nnd exporters have been big losnrs the Intter part ot last week and the early p'lrtof ihN. und their absence added to the other depressing features of tlio trade. Tlio principal reason for thu dec tnc , how ever , may easily bu traced to the heavy re ceipts of western eiilllo nt all markets , 'llieao cattle were rounded HU n a hurry , regardless of condition an.l rnshnil Into the market to tnko adviuitauo of the recent Imko in prices. This rcsulto I as usual tu the demolition of prices , and with plenty more of the same kind ofuatllo lusbht It"Is MsjIiMs to look for any mariiod improvement soon. Cows have ulso suirered , and prices are from 20c to ! ! 0o timer than last week. Tlio situation lu stouk- nrssind feoilOM b s unilergono no notlcnblo cluiir.'o. Tlieru has , < tarhap9 , been n Uttlo freer movement , nut It took n bli break In iirl'osto stnrt them going. I'lccs are very low now , low enough , It would seem , to suit Vows ovn of the most hcarl ° l > . llos huvo lluctu.ited within n lOc to I'o range , lint the fooilu. ? Is t.lll strong on goo I heirs and prices fully as high as ucek ago. It looks ns If the p.icklnz demand wns falling oir. There has been au Incrca-u In thu ship ping demand , IIOWOVIT. thatmoro than coun- toibalances this , Shippers' purchases tlio P'ist wenk ha\e been friini 50 to75 per cent of tlio entire receipts. The hogs are running rather IttMit now nnd the uood butcher and heavy hogs continue to command n premium of friini r > u to too on light nnd mixed stutf. OATTI.K The supply was light for a .Satur day. In fact , the lightest run ao far this mouth. Receipts for thu p et thrro days have been light , the combined rucnlpts bulng less than tlm number on sale Wednesday. This fact prevunte.l n further break in values and pro duced a r.ithcr better feeling on nil sides. Theio were comparatively fuwdecent cornfud cuttle here , and with moderate competition from shippers and exporters prices ruled 10o to I5u higher than I'rlday. On thu general run of half fat and grass slulT th'i market was no better. Go d to choice corn foil stocrs weigh ing from I.VOO to l.VO-lbs. sold at from ti.W to # 1.8' . with pretty cool mo ilfed Texans as low as $2.70. On all but the best ripe eornfed cattle tlo the trade was extremely slow , but a fair clearance was finally clfcclcd. There worn elylil. or ten loads of cows and holfer.s on sale and the trade was generally at ahoutstcady , nltbough extremely low prices.

Chicago Herald. The recent reported burning of Fort McKlnnoy , In Wyoming , reminds many nn army mnn of the destruction of old Fort Discovery , in Now Mexico , some twelve years ago. And it reminds at least one good woman , who Is today the wife of n wealthy merchant , of the one trouble that life has soon lit to visit u pen her. * Discovery was manned by two Com panies of Infantry , two cavalry troops and u battery. Among the cavalrymen was Mark Whtpplo , as handsome an en listed man ns over went Into the army , nnd a soldier as full of the mental ma terial for good deeds ns any company commander would desire to find , But ho was , up to the time Fort Discovery burned , considered one of the moat un fortunate follows that over slopped Into a uniform. Soldlora who could not com pare with him In appearance or soldierly bearing , and who by no moans were as well Informed on matters generally both In and out of the army , passed him con stantly in the matter of promotion. Time and again , when there was a va cancy in the corporals' line , all the troop would agree this was the time for Whlpple , and time and again , right at the moment when nothing shouldt have happenedthis man Whlpplo found him self confronted with his pestiferous ill- fortune , and all hU hopes were dashed in the selection of some other soldier. In the llrst place , Illggins , the rankIng - Ing duty sergeant , was discharged and a general promotion of every mm com missioned olllcor in the troop was decided - cided upon. Lieutenant Adams , the adjutant , remarked to the company com- mandor-that Whlpple would make a good man for corporal , and his promo tion was decided on. But the very even ing when his name was to have boon rend ho failed to answer at rollcall , nnd , of course , a man "not present or ac counted for" could not bo selected for military honor of oven so modest a sort. It Is true , when ho did turn up at bar racks , some three hours later , , ho ex plained his absence so well that the captain told him to go back to his quar ters and "bo careful next time ; " but moimwhilo another soldier had put on chevrons , and Whipplo continued to walk'post and carry a carbine. Next time Gil Elliot , a corporal , became - came and was so hopelessly intoxicated while on guard that ho couldn't toll the ofllcor of the day from nn Apache upris ing , and ho was "broke to the ranks , " with a suggestion of official displeasure in a five days' imprisonment. That loft the way open again , and Whlpnlo seemed to know intuitively that the au thorities intended promoting him , but at the Sunday inspection , when hisnamo should have been read out as a ' 'orporal , his cartridge box was found so full of cactus loaves that the major , who in spected him , wounded his lingers shame fully , and , pulling olT his thin , white gloves , that had proved no sort of pro tection against the sharp needles of the plant , slapped the careless soldier in the face with them , and sent him to the guardhouse. Some of the men thought that an ox- .ccllont joke , and wondered for days af terwards if the major would bo so willincr to thrust his fingers into huvorsacks and similar places. The officers them selves found some sort of pleasure in guying the unfortunate brother on his swollen and inflamed dlcrlis , but they did not for a moment permit their badinage to bo hoard in the quarters. To bo sure , Whipplo asked permis sion to see the commanding olllcor , and , with ready tears , convinced him some enemy had concealed the cactus in the harness , foreseeing just what would happen. And , to bo sure , the command ing officer accepted the statement , being loth to believe anything bad of so uniformly excellent a soldier. But the most ho could do was remit the guard house sentence and return the man for duty. The day of this promotion had gone by. Then when Sergeant Bain and Cor porals Cooper and Smith ran away to gether , deserting the service of their common country for the poor repose of an Albuquerque gambling room , and when they had. bacn captured irainly through the courage and fidelity and endurance - durance of Private Whipple then was the day of his prospering. No one doubted ho would bo selected at least for corporal , and the less informed ex pressed a belief that ho mightovon nope for the stripes dishonored and discarded bv Sergeant Bain. The officers thorn- sol ves thought the matter over , and while a little skittish of the man whoso ill luck always attacked him on the eve of promotion , yet concluded good service and soldierly appearance must outweigh the unexplalnablo , und they directed the adjutant to m.iko Whlpplo n cor poral. At the retreat that evening ovoi'y man in the fort not on duty gathered on the parade ground to hoar young Whipplo road.out a corporal. But at the very instant when the buglers were blowincr "full In , " a loud voice sounded from the cavalry squad room , cursing the com manding officer from the solo of his foot from the solo of a foot that had marched one day at Gettysburg over a sod more red than green up to a cannon's mouth and captured the mighty gun from the solo of that honored foot to the crown of a "good gray head that all men know. " The voice was loud and angry with the withering incoherence ) of a drunken man. Whlpplo was not on the parade ground at the time , having been excused from rollcall for two days in compliment to Ills courage in overhauling the depot-t ors. The whole command forgot disci pline. Every man craned his neck to look for the blaze of wrath they knew must como. An orderly ran from the gioup of officers at the ( lag poles , sprang up the stops to the cavalry quarters , holding his saber from clanking , nnd bounded into the squad room. No one was hero. The four walls were guiltless of a volco , nnd the silent camp boxes dis claimed any knowledge. The open win- down permitted a view of sandy plain and jagged rook way , with scut to rod sago and cedar shrubs across a mile of level ; but there was no Whlpplo in sight So the little group of officers , somewhat crestfallen tit a punishment postponed and a good deal bound up In the resolve to sift this mystery , erased the name of Whipplo from the roll , and promoted another man. And as the orderly sergeant turned to salute the officer of the day , after hav- lug called the roll and announced to morrow's detail , ho saw the mosplvo frame and handsome fuuo of Whlpplo standing on the rocks beyond the officers' quartet B , and watching just be yond the range of speech that scene which ho must know mount the coveted honor for him. Clearly ho could not have boon in the bnrnteks when that mysterious volco did hlgli dishonor to his colonel's name. But , us usual , it was too Into. The officers wanted to know who had olTondod. and , wanting that , they lis tened only coldly to IMvato Whlpplo. Ho hud come with oxouses BO often. And then ho full in lovo. That IB pretty nearly the unpardonable sin in the army. A man lias lib rlgh't to the tender passion during hU llvo years on- gugoinont to Undo Sum. The womoa ho might love In fqogr climes nro seldom of the kind ho can xyod without trouble for himself or comfftfjmiso for them. And Whlpplo'o divinity was , of course , the very one of nlV'iborn women whom ho should have $ ( alone. She was the sister ot Majori'Conrad , a httndsomo slip ot a girl. Tjft ) out of school , nnd knowing too l hjot nrmy life to hot the mark of difference between rank and file. She found this man Whlpplo the beau ideal of cWollcnco. Ho was so tall and well favored . ' Uo turned with such nn case and ticccislon ns she watched him walk his \5eltt from her hammock over there oiipfficors'row. | All , the lieutenants woro'.Bo trivial busido him , nnd all the silly" twaddle they Indulged lu was so small in comparison to the noble things she could imagine of him. /nd so she cnmo to love htm. And that woman Is very dull Indeed who can love a man and fail to find some messengers. Whlpplo found out in an unaccount ably short time that there was iv heart which boat for him : hero were eyes which opened for him only of all the World , and hero were hands that wove of all the hopes and fears of sober life n garmcntof the possible which ho might wear. Her brother hoJird about It and laughed at her. But when ho found her buttressed in her resolves ho frowned Upon her. Observing how stronger still this made the maiden , ho issued com mands , nnd there it ended. But one night in May , now fifteen years ago , the climax came. There was u store of ammunition in the arsenal for throe forts hero In the territories , nnd a year's supply for Fort Discovery. At the sundown rollcall Whlpplo was present , at the left of the line , as usual , upright , attentive , military. 'All the evening ho was In common sight , pass- Inq from one squad room to another , or dropping for a moment into the club house , whore books and papers could bo road. At tattoo ho was in his customary place in the ranks and answered his name as promptly ns any mnn. And after that ho undressed and.luy down upon his bunk much in the usual fash ion , saying Uttlo lb his comrades , but waiting with them for the trumpeter to blow "taps , " and so close another day. But just as tliQ.throo last notes on the bugle sounded across the parade ground , hushing the quarters and doubling vigilance at the posts , some distant lips put up the cry "iirol" Every man in the fort hoard that Every man and woman hoard it again nod again , nnd saw it , too , n moment later. The bugle changed from sleepy "taps" to wild "assembly , " and the hur rying feet of soldiers told no further commands were necessary. Two hun dred men rushed across the parade ground to the store houses , snatched the few buckets p-oparod for thorn and plunged down the hill for water. They formed a line in a moment under the quiet ardors of olllcors , and they passed a swift stream up to the blazing tim bers. ' The men who t . .had been promoted in place of Private \Vhipple were close to the flre ana busy' with the work of ex tinguishing. When the cry of warning came they of all men looked neither to the right nor " .loft , but labored on. They had been pjacod there by order , nnd hero they worked with the same heroism which'ei nquors cities. But herb was ; the magazine and all the water in the world could not cut oil those llumos. TU'o timbers ul the powder room were blitzing. The boards on which the great cans sot were on fire. The roof above was crumbling into coals that fell in fearful showers upon the even ranks of pent-up horror. And in a moraojit .tho order , came to fall back. Bun it was too .sadly late. The strong brick.Avails ! , .the thick adobe and the massive stone worb'hurlcd in a hundred directions by an explosion that shook'tho very earth , and sent a linger ing volcano of flro aud fragments up into the silent sky. In all this time no one had seen Whipplo. Ho was on the > bunk when that trumpet chnnorod from "taps" to wakeful order. Since then his massive figure , his cool head and strong hand had not been noticed. No 6no counted the absence then , for there was incident enough. There was terrifying struggle in the hour that followed the explosion. Thoro'was tax enough lor men and wo men In caring for the hardy soldiers who had fallen when the walls went down. And there was a night of busy cursing , struggling , falling , triumphant olTort that drove any individual from the general thought. Major Conrad was the first to recover. Ho could not lind his sister. Without for an instant connecting her with any man. ho wondered where she was , A tour of the officers' quarters failed to discover her. A hurried search was as badly rewarded. Then cumo the news that tlu stables had been opened from the further side and that the best two hordes had been taken out , one of them with a Eido sad dle. At midnight , the worst being over , the company commanders ordered a rollcall , und the adjutants road the names by the light of burning bar- racka Private Whipplo was neither "present nor accounted for. " Ordinarily ho would have boon granted this night of grace. But Major Conrad abkod for a mounted'detail and galloped down the road with u'do/.on men. A mile from the fort they came to fresh hoofprlnts. Two miles and they could hoar the reg ular boat of Iron shoos on the shingly rocks by Navajoo. An hour , and the great white moon showed thorn a sil- houott ugulnsto the stars just rising the pass ton mlles from the fort. Daybreuk showed them a fleeing pair down there In the valley , Bottled to a dogged running with the fastest horses in the department , and the grim major ground his tooth with the hoDolossnoss of overtaking thorn. They should not have boon captured. There was nothing but resolution , ten acity behind them ; there was liberty before. But ut the very time when the chase seemed iftfot hopeless nnd oscupo assured , the \WL \ man In that flying couple turned llls'brldlo ' rein , dosorteu his slender oom'panlon nnd made for the hills. S The girl gave < a little scream of af fright and awoVVtJd a moment in the suddlo. Then , ' lo | ruined up , looked with staring eyes at the splendid sol dierly llguro rfdlhg so easily away from her , and , turnjjift , fronted Major Conrad und his men. 1/n The olllcor lihvp no greeting to his sis- tor. Ho scurfy looked ut her. Ho ' only detailed > man to take her in charge , then 1$1 Ifila pursuit across the level and Into M hills where Whipplo had sought u hiding. They plunged * down a canyo'n , they pushed up u nope ( , they followed the houvy trull of the fugitive , never once slacking roln , never for u moment paus ing oti the way. And at noon they found nn empty sad dle and a panting homo on tno very highest top of the very highest hill in the territory. Where the recreant \Vhlpplohimgonothoydld not know.

An Inquiry failed to fasten any- thin p upon him. Tlio ( jlrl closed her lips and would not speak. She was packed off to the states , for they could " neither compel nor punish hor. "Whip plo pointed to hia puesonco at the regular rollcalls and dolled discipline. They could not convict him. i The ruined fort was abandonoo.
