CATTLE The receipts today were very email , as was to bo expected on a holiday , nnd It could hardly be said that there was nough o ( any on * kind o ( cattle to make thorough test of the market. The ght receipts , however , appeared to have t beneficial effect upon the market , ns It caused a good , healthy feeling in all de partments of tne trade. A considerable proportion o ( the cattle on sale consisted o ( half ( at or warmed up atecrs that had not been on corn long tnoush to be well finished. There were , no prime or choice cornfed beeves In the yards. Buyers all appeared to b hungry for supplies , aa they have all been short mils we * * , owing to the heavy f lln- "rr In receipt * , and they bought up everything rarly. The. prices pdd. as compared with yi-stertay. wwe fully steady or even strong. There were a fe/w marts ot grass westerns vhifh met with ready sale to packers at good , toady price * . Practically everything was sold and weighed up at an early hour , everyone being In a hurry to fret away. The few loads of cows and heifers In the yard * sold at strong prices and sellers were well plea ed with results. The qual ity was not very good and for that reason sales did not make much of showing on paper. Bulls , ( tags and veal calves brought steady prices. In the feeder division there was a little better feeling , but It is hardly advisable to quote the market any better. The num ber of country buyers coming In Is still small and until there Is a decided Increase In that drection there would appear to be no occasion for values advancing very much.

The quality of the offerings was Just about on a par with the average at this point. The market opened a shade higher under the Influence of a good , brisk demand and favoruble advices from other selling points. Good heavy hogs sold largely at S3.45. medium weights nnd mixed right around S3.47H. with light weights on up to S3.50 nnd choice light at S3.55. Yesterday It will be remembered that there were a few loads of trashy stuff , both heavy and light , at S3.40 , with heavy loads largely at S3.42W and medium weights nt S3.45. while there was only n sprinkling of light nnd mixed loads nt I3.47HThe top today was S3.55 , as asalnrt S3.50 yesterday. After nbout seventy loads had changed hands the market slowed up. buyers seem ing to como to the conclusion that with such a largo run , and the prospect that there would be a good many hogs hero at the close of ths week , there was no neces sity for their paying such strong prices. After that the market lost Its wire edge , nnd , as sellers were all asking strong prices , the trade bicnme less active and closed slow , with all the strength of the morning loft and possibly more , A good manv of the late sales were nt S3.42V& . or 2UQCc lower than the early sales. A glnnc * at the table of average prices nt head of column will show the hogs to day Bold fully 15c higher than on Monday and about lOe higher than on Thursday of last week. Today's advance carried the market to the highest point touched since November 10. when the hog * sold nt about the same prices as today. Another fact that may bo gained from a study of the table above Is that the hogs brought the most money that they have on any Thanks giving day since 1854. Representative Pales : No. Av. Sh. Pr.

SHEEP There were only two fresh cars of sheep In the yards , nothing extra as to quality and only a load or two of holdovers , the latter being feeders. With such limited offerings thsre was nothing to make a test of the market , but buyers all seemed to want supplies of mutton ? and It Is safe to wiy that anything desirable that could be u > > od by the killers would have sold nt fully steady or even Btronjr prices. The moderate receipts so far this week nt all market points have clven the market a much needed breathing spell and values accord ingly have recovered a good deal of the loss occasioned by the slut o ( last week. Still this Is poultry week and no very active demand ought to be anticipated just at this time for muttons. The market on feeding sheep continues rather slow. The decline In the marketer ( or ( at sheep appears to hav frightened would-be buyers of feeding stock and they have all of a sudden stopped buying. It was not so very long ago thnt men were falling over each other to get ( eeders nnd paying- extravagant prices , but they stopped buying all at once and Just at the , tlmo when they might have secured stock and ( eeding sheep nt lens money. As a xalwmnn puts It , cheep men seem to go In flocks. Quotations are : Good eras * westerns , .10 J4.20 : ( air to good.

Effort , with Charming Iteuularlty and the In * dlan. Appeared nnd Ate the Grain a Fn t n It Grew. t There were two Indians at the Indian congress on the exposition grounds , who , while they are not wolf known here , are Im portant personages In the locality where they reside. One of these men la Little No Heart and the other IB Two Hears. They are Both Sioux from the Cheyenne agency , S. D. The former la the hereditary chief of the Two Kettle band , while the latter la the war chief. Both are old men , probably on the shady eldo of CO , though they are as active and sprightly as boys of 16 years. In addition to being a chief , LUtle No Heart Is the Judge of the Indian'court of his tribe , and what is remarkable , there hin never been an appeaf from a decision that he has handed down. When at home , Little No Heart resides with his family on the banks of Bull creek , Just opposite the town of Fair-bank In Bully county. At one time he was a farmer In fact , for many years he was a farmer , but now ho has gone out of that business and has gone to chieflng and judging , finding It more profitable. Ho was driven out of the farming business , not because his crops were poor , not by low prices or competition , but imply because ho was eaten out of house and homo , so to speak. Years and years ago when the government furnished the Cheyenne River Indians with agricultural Implements , being a chief , Lit tle No Heart drew a plow , harrow , wagon , mower , horse rake , self-binder and a threshing machine , besides numerous other articles , such as shovels , hoes , spades , rakca , scythes and grindstones. With this stock in trade , Little No Heart concluded that there would be millions in tilling the noil. Ho went to Captain Charles McChcsney , who was at that time the Indian agent for the Cheyenncs , and asked that ho be given lessons In agriculture by the boss farmer , James Pearman. Pearman went to Bull creek and put In several weeks giving In structions , and when he left , theoretically , Little No Heart was a farmer. Ho had some flvo acres broken and planted to corn , In the fall he gathered a couple of hundred bushels of corn , and In addition laid his plans for farming on a big scale during the next year. The next seed time rolled around and Little No Heart sowed his five acres to wheat and broke up ten acres more of ground , which he put out In corn. Came I.Ike the Lot-Hutu. The prospect ( or a big crop was most nattering , but about the time that the corn was In the milk , ovcry Indian that Little No Heart had ever known , ap'peared upon the scene. They had heard that the old man was rich and that he had enough to feed the whole Sioux nation. They remalno.l until they had eaten everything that ho had drawn at the agency , nnd then they ( el | upon his cornfield like a blight. They gathered the ears , boiled and roasted them , and not satisfied with this , dried the corn and lugged It away for winter use. After they had devastated his cornfields , they attacked the wheat , which was about ripe. They cut It with their hunting knives , threshed and rubbed out of the husk and then ground it Into flour In stone mortars. It did not take long to bring destruction to this field , as the Indiana were almost aa numerous a. the spears of wheat them- LUtle No lleart protested , but It JAMES E BOYO & CO. , Telephone 1039.

He wag Informed that Indians owned all of their property In com mon and that what belonged to him , also belonged to them. This argument was a clincher and swine the point , the old man lost heart and yielded to the Inevitable. He quit farming and allowed his agricultural Implement * to rot by tha wayildo and the rank sunflowers and tbo cockle bun.t to grow on the land that was once so fertile and promised BO much. Since then he bos frequently delivered lectures V upon the subject : "Docs fanning pay ? " always taking the negative side of the ques tion and prpduclng some most convincing arguments. Little No Heart Is a ehrewd politician , and having made a failure of ( arming , bo looked about ( or other worldg to conquer. The Indians wanted a judee , to whom mat ters of difference could be referred. Being a chief and a prominent one , Little No Heart set up the pins for this and mad * speeches all over the reservation. Wbea the election was held , he defeated his op. ponent , Little Dear , by a handsome ma jority and has held the office for the last ten years , there being no time limit on to * tenure of office. Since hla election be ha * administered Justice with an even and Im partial band , but notwithstanding this , ha has evened up with moit of the Indiana who broke him up In the ( arming buslnesi. Whllo he lacks every clement of a dudaf there Is something very dudlsh In the makeup of Little No Heart. He dresses according to the exact dictates of fashion. Wears shoes that are porishcd until they have a luster that outshines the sun. Hla collar and cuffs are ns whlto as the snow , his clothe * nro tailor-made and of the latest out. His hair ho wears closely cropped and upon his well shaped head a wide-brimmed hat slt Jauntily to one aide. Ho wean gold bowed spectacles , and those give him a. very dls- tlngutehed appearance.

During his sixty odd years of life be has always been a great friend of the wblto map and has done much to bring about friendly relations between the Indians and the Bottlers of the frontier * . During the Indian war of the early GO' * ) whtn so many white people were killed la Minnesota , Two Dears , then a young man , rode night and day ahead of the Indians , notifying the settlers of the danger * that threatened them and urged them to fly from their homca. For that act ho was ostracise * \ by the Indians and for yean had no com panions of bis own kind. Later , when tha Indiana realized the mistake ! that they had made , they asked Two Dears to bo their chief. Ho refused , however , and some twenty years ago located with Little No Heart on Dull creek In South Dakota , wbcrft bo became the war chief of the Two Kettle band of Sioux. The old man has adopted many of the ways of the white m n. He has sent his children to the schools of the whltee , has built him a comfortable log house and makes a good living by railing cattle and borsea.
