From Their Hades Correspondent.
Five Philadelphia saloonkeepers
have been startled recently through tho
receipt of letters from Hades. The
signature to each letter is the same;
it is that of a young man who died,
some few months ago, of alcoholism.
The handwriting is also the same, a
hand slanting to the left, and consid
erably disguised, though the saloon
keepers think they recognize it as the
handwriting of a certain church dea
con. Here is a sample which the Rec
ord gives of the silly letters that have
worried not a little the five saloon
keepers:
“Hell, Oct. 1, 1901.
“Dear Henry:—It is hot down here,
and I have not yet got accustomed to
• the heat. This is absetos paper I am
writing on. Henry, I am waiting im
patiently for you to join me. You will
some day; there is no fear of that.
The boss, Mr. Beelzebub, says so. Mr.
Beelzebub is very fond of you. He
tells me you and the other men in
your business send him more people
than any other men in the world. I
know you sent me here, Henry.”
England now has seven admirals of
the fleet and nine field marshals.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.
Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
vant cannot do it. Hence these direc
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cufTs. When wrinkles appear ap
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits In
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the Iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
Ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before It is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Sometimes it is hard to tell a long
faced crank from a long-headed sage.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations From South Onialia
and Kansas City.
SOl'TH OMAHA.
Cattle—There was another liberal run
of cattle, so that the receipts for the
three days are considerable in excess of
the supply for the same days last week.
Packers were ail liberal buyers of good
stuff, so that the market on most lines
was fairly active and not much change
was noticeable in the prices paid. There
were quite a few corn-feds offered on the
market, and anything at all desirable met
with ready sale at fully steady prices. A
string of seventy-six head sold as high
as $6.25. which was considered a good,
steady price. There were a good many
stockers and feeders on sale, but th€* good
to choice kinds sold at steady prices. Cat
tle lacking quality, however, and the me
dium weights were neglected, and in some
cases, perhaps, sold a shade lower than
yesterday. There were a good many west
ern beef steers offered, and as the de
mand on the part of packers was in good
shape the market ruled active and steady
to strong on desirable kinds. Common
stuff also moved better than yesterday
and sold at good, steady prices. Cows
sold all the way from steady to 10c
lower. Stockers and feeders brought
steady prices if they were good and were
a little weak when the quality was com
mon.
Hogs—The light receipts of hogs con
tinued and under the influence of a good
demand prices improved a little. The
market opened a strong 2%c higher, and
in some cases 5c higher. The bulk of the
bogs sold at $6.20 and $6.22%, with the bet
ter grades from $6.25 to $6.40. Some of the
commoner kinds went from $6.17% down.
At those prices the hogs changed hands
quite rapidly and it was not long before
the bulk of the offerings was out of first
hands.
Sheep—The' supply of sheep in sight was
quite liberal, but the bulk of the receipts
at this point was made up of feeders. The
fat ones sold at right around steady
prices, as packers seemed to want all that
were offered. Fat lambs were also
scarce, but the market could safely be
quoted steady. The demand for feeders
was fully equal to the supply and strong
prices were paid.

REPORT ON LABOR DISPliTES.
Machinery for Settling Differences Inade
qnate for the Work.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19—The indus
trial commission today made public its
report on labor disputes and arbitra
tion. It is a comprehensive document
reviewing the testimony of the wit
nesses who have appeared before the
commission on the subject and takes
up in detail the evidence on collective
bargaining, conciliation and arbitra
tion and the laws and court decisions
governing labor combinations. Local
systems of collective bargaining and
agreements between employes, it is
stated, have been most highly devel
oped in the building trades, the brew
ery, boot and shoe, banking, wood
working and metal working trades,
some branches of the clothing trade
and in the transportation business;
in other words, where both employers
and employes are strongest organized.
Py far the larger number of written
agreements prescribing the conditions
of labor are made between organiza
tions of working men on one side and
employers acting individually on the
other. There is a growing movement
in favor of the collective bargaining,
conciliation and arbitration as between
organizations of employers and em
ployes, covering an industry through
out the country or throughout large
sections where the conditions of busi
ness are generally similar.
A growing movement is noted to
ward establishing state anl local ma
chinery for arbitration in the bitu
minous coal industry, where there is
now, at least in most districts, no ef
fective method of disposing of the mi
nor disputes which arise from time to
time. In this trade there is especially
no permanent joint committee of the
entire central competitive field to
which differences are taken. Systems
of arbitration as to specific disputes
have been, however, established in a
formal manner and on a national scale
in stove molding, of which the foun
dry, the machinists (now not in exist
ence) and the printing trades. The
state boards of arbitration are doing
much toward furthering industrial
peace.
Chronic Anarchy In MacedouU.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—The Balkan
states correspondent of the Times re
ports a state of chronic anarchy in
Macedonia owing to the lawlessness
of Albanians, whose attitude toward
the Christian population is worse
than that of the Kurds toward the Ar
menians.

MANILA, Oct. 19.—Five hundred bo
lomen attacked a detachment of forty
six men of the Ninth infantry at
Bangajon, on the Gandara river, island
of Samar, killing ten and wounding
six. The remainder of the company
arrived in time to prevent further
slaughter and routed the enemy, kill
ing over 100 of them. It is believed
that the enemy only retired for rein
forcements. As soon as the news was
received gunboats were dispatched.

Some grocers say they don’t keep De

a stock on hand of other brands contain

won’t be able to sell first, because De

Do you want 16 oz. Instead of 12 oz.
