The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb., Nov. 25.—Spec
ial market letter from Nye-Schneider
Fowler Co.
The week opens up with scarcely
any corn fed cattle on the market as
usual. There Is a liberal run here
with a good sprinkling of common
grass beef steers and a large propor
tion of cows and heifers. The latter
show a decline from a shade to 10
lower while some of the common
steers have been picked up more
readily than heretofore for beef on
account of no better ones being offered
for sale. The stockers and feeders
are fully steady with the exception of
light steers and calves with which the
market is glutted. Dealers shipped
calves from this market to Kansas
City Saturday and the Kansas City
dealers who were over stocked shipped
calves up here. We look for a steady
to strong market on good killers for
the balance of the week.
We quote:
Choice corn feed beef.$6.4O0»$7.25
Fair to good...4.25(a) 6.30
Range steers. 4.60(a) 5.40
Others from.3.76 to 4.50

Fair to good. 3.75(ai 4,40
Stock heifers. 2.75(3; 3.25
The firm tone mentioned in our
letter of a week ago in the market
has manifested itself very decidedly
since and Monday found the best hog
market we have had for several weeks.
Tuesday’s run was the heaviest in
several months. Bulk $5.60 to $5.80.
There was considerable activity in
the sheep barn with good killers
readily moving at stronger prices.
Feeders are fully steady.
Battle Creek Enterprise: Tobias
Hanen, father of A1 Hanen, who drew
No. 3 in the Tripp county land allot
ment, was in Battle Creek yesterday.
Naturally, Mr. Hanen is highly elated
over bis son’s phenomenal good luck,
which now appears to be increasing as
the time for filing approaches. It is
reported that since the “Miss” who
drew No 1 is possessed of a lawful,
living husband her claim will be as
were her dreams of wedded bliss.
The man at Ponca who drew No. 2 is
said to have so much land already
the government balks at allowing him
to take more. If all this be true, Mr.
Hanen is slated for first choice.
Rebird item in the Lyuch Journal:
Monday morning the Niobrara river
decided to pay Holt county a visit and
by eleven o’clock the south end of the
north bridge was about 30 feet from
solid footing. T. Courtney, super
visor for Boyd county, \nd our super
visor, Mr. Roberts, met at the bridge
Tuesday and after looking the ground
over decided that it would be neces
sary to build a new 36 foot span to
insure a crossing for the future, and
this will be built at once. Building a
temporary bridge was pushed with
vigor, fifteen men and three teams
worked like trojans Monday and Tues
day. Tuesday evening about six
o’clock the work was completed and
traffic opened.

To Cure Hay Fevar.
Take one pound of ragweed leaves
(with stems, flower and seeds Indis
criminately or without them), boll in
two quarts of water down to on©
quart aud strain. Divide this one
quart into three parts—vis, one pint
and two half pints. On the first day,
take one-twelfth of the one pint every
hour—twelve doses. The second day
take one-twelfth of one half pint ev
ery hour, and on the third day take
the same quantity—viz, one-twelfth of
one-half pint.—Detroit Free Press.
Fish and Salt.
And the mystery still lingers—why,
is it necessary to salt a fish caught in
the salt ocean? A sea bass caught off
Seabright requires just as much salt
in the seasoning as a black bass
caught in the saltless waters of Lake
Erie.—New York Press.

GROWTH OF CARICATURE.
John Law’s Wild Schemes Gave It a
Tremendous Impetus.
Caricature is nowadays one of the
principal methods of criticism. No
movement can overreach the mark
without eliciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists all over this and
all other countries.
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back, but the greatest Im
pulse it ever felt came from the age
of tremendous speculation, when, In
1719 and 1730, John Law was manipu
lating things financial in France. Nev
er before bad the financial world been
so carried off its feet as it was at that
time. Members of the nobility were
waiting for a chance to purchase
shares in Law’s schemes. Duchesses
and ladles of high renown tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
so great was the press of business in
^making contracts, and one hunchback
is reputed to have made 100,000 francs
in this way in a few weeks. The
French went veritably mad over the
schemes to become wealthy. Natural
ly the papers of the time, especially
those of Holland, caricatured the state
of affairs. There were pictures of all
sorts caricaturing Law, the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
It was this tremendous amount of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth in Lon
don in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more in the
political field, and soon afterward it
caused the shelving of Robert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has caricaturing been one of the
bitterest and most effectual methods of
(checking publiQ men and Iheix
schemes. . ...—.
