THE MARKET LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug,
24. Cattle receipts last week were
a little larger than in recent weeks
but were still short cf the normal
supply for this season of the year.
The market made a small advance
on g"ass cattle, but mVdium grades
of fed steers lost 10 to In cents.
Buyers < laiin the grass steers are
killing out better each week and
*
cost less money relatively than
medium fed steers Owners have
been holding their cattle back
partly because of good pastures,
and the impress on prevails that
we shall have heavy supplies dur
ing September and October. Some
traders also believe that demand
for feeders will not be as heavy
this fall as in recent yejirs of good
corn crops, account of the pros
pects of the high price at which
corn will sell. These are the pes
simistic views of the situation, and
do not coincide with the judgment
of many owners, who hope for a
better market later in the season.
Run is 21,000 head today, includ
ing 2500 calves, market slow to a
shade lower ou steers, but strong
on other grades. Nothing very
high class is here today, hut top
steers have sold at $0.75 to $7.25
diniug the last week, grass west
ern- worth $1.25 to $5,10, with a
few heavy steers above t! is. crass
cows $2.$0 to $5.On, bulls $2.25 to
$3.50. calves $3.50 to $6.25. About
450 car loads of stoekers and feed
ers went to the country last week,
and averaged steady for the week
stockers at $2.80 to $4 25, feeders
$3.60 to $4.75, a few choice stock
ers at $5.10 and feeders up to $5-15.
Market on country kinds is strong
today.
Hog receipts fell off last week,
but buyers managed to keep the
market down, except for a bulge
first of the week. Run is 5000
here today, market steady with
the close of last week, top $6.70,
bulk $6,25 to $6.(>0, indicating a
large proportion of inferior hogs.
Provisions have been selling un
satisfactorily. off 50 cents to 51
last week, a strong bear argu
ment- Pigs are bad sellers, 55.75
to 55.25. Present prices are 3o to
50 cents above a year ago at this
time.
Sheep supplies are running
ahead of August last year, and
the market is just about holding
steady, with a good many fluctu
ations- Run is S500 today, sheep
steady, lambs weak, lambs at
$5.25 to $5.75. not quite the full
test of the market, yearlings
worth up to $4.50, wethers $4.25,
ewes $4 00- There is <jnite a de
tnand for stock grades at $3.25 to
$4.00, with a few choice breeding
ewes lately at $4.50.
WM. HUSENETTER
For Commissioner of Public Lands
And Buildings
At a meeting of the republi c
can central committee held in
David City, on May doth, 190*,
the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted bv said
committee:
Be it Resolved:—By the
Butler county Republican Cen
tral Committee, that we most
heartily endorse the candidacy
of Wm. Husenetter of Linwond,
for the office of Public Land
Commissioner.
In support of his candidacy
we wish to mention some of the
services he has rendered his
party. He has been present at
every county convention for
thirty years. He has served
the senatorial district on the
state committee for ten terms.
He has represented this county
as a delegate in every state
convention for dfl' years. He
lias served three terms on the
state executive committee. He
has served two terms as chair
man of our republican county
central committee, and is now
serving the third time. He lias
never accepted a political office
carrying a salary with it. In
these various capacities he lias
always stood courageously lor
the best interests of the party.
He lias been thoroughly in sym
pathy with the recent policies
of Roosevelt, and two years ago
was a strong advocate for the
election of (iov. Sheldon. Mr.
llusenetter has a common inter
est with the farmers and ship
pers of the state in the enact
ment of the Roosevelt policies,
as he owns and operates a
large ranch at Linwood and is a
vigorous advocate of these in
terests.
In this endorsement of Wm.
llusenetter for Land Commis
sioner we wish to call the at
tention of the voters of the
state of Nebraska to the fact
that Sutler county, since its or
ganization more than forty
years ago, lias never had a state
officer nor a deputy*.
Mr. llusenetter has been a
resident here for forty years
and we do not hesitate to pre
sent his name, as we consider
that it is only justice to his long
service for the party*!

FISHING ON THE GRAND BANKS
Hardy Niaino Men Still Seek the Cod
in the Dangerous Region Where
Fog Is Ever Present.
Bueksport still clings to the Grand
Banks fishing, and ivco.itly the first
of her fleet of six hig Ashing schoon
ers got away for the region of fog
and cod. All arc liandlincrs; that
is. they fish from dories sent out
from the vessel at anchor. With
fairly good luck they should till
their holds inside of three months
and lie hack at Bueksport. If they
do well some of them will he sent
hack for a second trip. Time was

FIRES STARTED BY MOTHS.
Moths and flames arc universally
lonn-vted. yet few people suspect,
that dangerj/»uld arise therefrom.
The inserts are of m b frail struc
ture that generally they get destroy
ed before it is possible for them to
inflict injury, and it is hardly cred
ible that the wings would ignite and
retain the flame long enough to en
able the moth to fly to its surround
ings.
That, however, has occurred. The
moth was a very large one and its
wings must have been very dry, so
that when it floundered through the
flame it -et tire to one wing and dart
ed on to a curtain near by. which at
once flan si up. It is possible that
many ^minm r .evening fires in the
country con1;!' he attributed to it
source of thin Igbul. It is notorious
that mysterious iin often arise at
sunset in the hot months.
FLOUR BURIED IN WAR TIME.
While the grading of Main street
in this town was in progress the oth
er dav preparatory to receiving the
macadam, which is being applied to
the str. els. the workmen discovered
that their pick- went to n depth that
indicated a subterraneous cavity.
I poll investigation it was dis
covered that a trench to the depth of
three feet had been dug. presumably
during the war, and a number of
barrels of llour put therein and con
cealed from the enemy on the evacu
ation of Manassas by the confederate
troops.
A large qumitity of barrel staves
and a white substance resembling
deeaved flour were exhumed.— Man
