The Live Stock Market
►South Omaha, Neb., Nov. 2.—Spec
ial market letter from Standard Live
Stock Commission Co.
The large run at the beginning of
this week was somewhat of a surprise
as it was generally predicted that
receipts would be light. Values held
up fairly well and are about steady
on desirable kinds. The heavy weight
feebers and the common light kinds
seem to be suffering the most decline,
while the fair to good medium
weights are in quite active demand at
steady prices. Cornfed cattle are
still very scarce and are full steady.
The cows and butcher stock are sell
ing a shade lower than last week.
We quote:
Choice range beef.$5.25@$6.25
Others down to. 4.00
Good range cows and heifers3.75@ 4.25
Choice corn fed beef.7.00(a) 8.00
Common to fair. 5.00(a) 6.90
Cornfed cows and heifers up to 5.00
Fair to good . 3 25@ 4.00
Canners and cutters. 2 25@ 3.25
^ Veal calves. 4.50@ 7.00

Prime feeding steers. ..... 4-40@ 6.50
Others down to. ' 3.00
Stock heifers. 2 90@ 3.75
The price of hogs moved up another
notch and the light weights are
bringing more money on this market
than anywhere else. Bulk $7.60 to
$7.70, top $7.75.
There is a good liberal run of sheep
again this week and killesrs are slow
and decidedly week. The demand
still keeps up for feeders and they are
selling around steady prices.
Sale of Herefords.
The attention of our readers is
called to the public sale of the Brook
mont Herefores at O’Neill, Nebr.,
Thursday, Nov. 18, 1906. There will
be 40 head of Hereford cattle in this
sale. The best of bjood lines are
represented and cattle of prounced in
dividual merit. Those of our readers
that have followed Hereford history
for the past 20 years are familiar with
this herd of cattle. Some of the best
sires of the breed have been used in
building up this herd and it is con
ceded that Brookmount Farm has one
of the greatest collections of Hereford
cattle in the U. S.
They are making this sale at O’Neill
on account of having a surplus of
cattle on hand with a desire to get
acquainted with and extend their
trade among the breeders and farmers
of Nebraska. This will undoubtedly
be the most desirable bunch of Here
ford cattle sold in the state of Ne
braska this fall. Cows, heifers and
bulls. Ask for a catolog which can be
had by addressing either Cooks
Brookmont Farm, Odebolt, la. or R.
W. Barclay, Mason City, la., the auc
tioneer in charge of the sale.

Recollections of O’Neill.
When I call up to see you, John,
1 know my heart a pain will feel
To see no more the old time friends
That once I knew around O’Neill.
They fought life’s battle long and
well—
What joy ’twould be to meet them all
When I come back to see you, John,
When harvest days are done some fall!
I hope God’s mercy has been shown
To those who bade adieu to earth—
Those sturdy, patient pioneers,
What pen can tell their noble worth!
Not all the heroes die in war:
I claim the bravest in the tight
Have helped reclaim the stubborn soil.
Such men are heroes in God’s sight.
How oft I wish for old time sake
That we a little time might steal
And live again the happy lives
Which we once knew in dear O’Neill.
—James Dorgan.

Lone Bachelor Found Dead in His
Home Last Suuday.
BULLET HOLE THROUGH HEAD
Thought to Have Left Considerable
Wealth, But Hiding Place of For
tune Not Known.
Robert Muellor, an eccentric
bachelor and pioneer of the county
committed suicide at his home five
miles northwest of O’Neill it is be
lieved last Saturday. The dead man
was found by a near neighbor, Mrs.
Hillard, Sunday forenoon. The body
reclined in a rocking chair. A bullet
hole through his head and a 38 re
volver lying with one empty chamber
by the chair indicated that the man
had placed the gun to his right
temple and fired. The bullet passed
clear through his head, struck the
wall and dropped to the Uoor.
Mueller, who was past sixty years of
age, had been a resident of this
county for twenty-eight or thirty
years. He was a native of Germany,
where he has relatives, but none here.
He had had irrational spells for
several years and the people living
near him kept watch of his move
ments, fearing something might hap
pen aDy time. He had not been well
for several weeks and when he was
not seen out around the place Sunday
morning, Mrs. Hillard, who lives near
by, went over to the bachelor’s lonely
home and found him dead.
The sheriff and coroner and under
taker went out from O’Neill. The body
was taken care of by Mr. Biglin while
an inquest was held by Dr. Wilson
and Sheriff Hall searched the premises
for papers and valuables it is believed
the dead man lert in hiding some
where. The inquest resulted in' a
verdict of suicide. The only money
found was 84 in silver and a few cents.
It is thought he has several thousand
dollars in money, notes and bonds
secreted away. His total property,
including the farm, is estimated at
$15,000.
Tlie remains were brought to town
and the funeral held Monday at the
Biglin undertaking establishment,
conducted by Rev. T. S. Watson.
A Good Show.
Recently in the Morning Tele
graph, a New York newspaper con
sidered an authority on matters
theatrical, there appeared a review of
America’s most popular plays. Of
course, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” headed
the list, and then came mention of
such old time favorites as “The Old
Homestead,” “Way Down East,” “A
Trip to Chinatown,” “Shore Acres,”
“M’liss,” “The Danites,” and “My
Sweetheart.” Coming down to the
last decade the Morning Tele
graph’s expert selected “The Music
Master,” “Ben Hur,” “Paid in Full”
and “The Farmer’s Daughteras as the
plays most likely to attain greatest
longevity.
“The Farmer’s Daughter,” which
is probably one of the most successful
of the present day rural plays, will be
the attraction at the Opera House for
Wednesday, Nov. 10.
Loses a Hand.
Chambers Bugle: Paul Roth, who
lives about twelve miles southwest of
Chambers, accidently shot himself
Saturday afternoon. The young man
was going after a load of hay and had
a shotgun with him. In some man
ner the gun slidped through the rack
and was discharged, the charge of
shot entering his left hand.
Mr. Roth was brought to Chambers
and Dr. Coleman amputated his hand
at the wrist. While the accident is
a deplorable one, yet the young man
is fortunate that he escaped with his
life since several of the shot grazed
his face. Mrs. Roth, his mother, was
summoned from Columbus, Neb., and
is now caring for her son at the
Waterman Hotel.
The Ed Butler house that has stood
