Vol. MI FALLS Cl I Y, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JULY 22, I 'M . Number 30 MARKET LETTER. Letter From our Regular Correspond ent at Kansas City. Kansas City, July 18, 1910. Forty thr< < thousand cattle arrived here last week, including six thousand calvi s. and while this run was nearly twit, as large as the supply of the previous week, everything sold more easily, and at. some slight advance over the prices of the wkee before. Tin buoyant agent was the fact that buyers had large orders to fill, the slim buying of the previous week having allowed fresh meat channels to run dry to a certain extent. The crest of the supply from the quaran tine country has been passed, as one third of the total cattle last week cam. from below the line, whereas, a few weeks ago, half the receipts w'ere coining from quarantine terri tory . Kansas pastures are contribut ing more freely, and will likely fur nish a larger share each week for a time Advices from Colorado state that cattle are three weeks or a month ahead of their usual condition at this time, and that run from there ( will start in August in good shape. Drought cattle from the northwest have been running to Omaha and Chi cago for some weeks, and one big outfi is getting ready to ship several thousand steers from Wyoming to Kansas pastures this week if the dry weather continues. The run here to day is 12,000 cattle, not including 2000 calves, market steady. Chicago run is 2,000 today market lower, and buyers hung back here trying to get cattle cheaper, but eventually had to come through with steady prices, lop $8.00, heavy Kansas grass steers $0.25 to $7.25, lighter steers $5.00 to $6.00, grass cows around $4.00, bulls $3.25 to $4.75, top veals $8.50, Stock ers $3.26 to $5.00, a few fleshy feed ers up to $6.50. Hog values declined 42 cents last week, and the feature of the week, outside ,of the big slump, was that light hogs got the biggest end of the decline, especially after the mid dle of the week. The run was52„000 head as compared with 24,000 same week last ytar, but that light run was on account of washouts on rail roads all over Kansas. Run to day is 6,000 head,1 market opened weak, but shippers were active and the close was 5 to 10 higher, heavies again coining in for their full share. The rally today is regarded as only temporary, as the destination of the market is to a lower level before the end of the month. European coun tries are said to be curtailing con sumption of lard to an extent not real i/.od by the trade, due to high prices, but more to the use of vegetable oils and other substitutes . J. A.

Democratic Convention. Ti e democrats today are holding their convention. At the time of going to press nothing has been done. Hitchcock of the World-Herald is telling the convention why we should not have county option. His reasons are rot worthy of a man who holds the position in state politics as is held by the editor of the World-Her ald. It is too early to predict what will be dene in the convention, but it is evident that the Richardson county democrats feel that only heroic measures will stop the movement which has been started by their ‘‘peerless leader.” Some two years ago the writer had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Hitch cock and Mr. Bryan throwing bo quet.: at each other, in a mutual ad miration society meeting in Omaha. They, at that time talked loud and long about the reforms for which they stood, for the Jeffersonian idea, for civic righteousness, moral de cencj, etc. It was a regular love feas', and was enjoyed as such. But, oh, today, what a difference. Bryan, we believe, stands today for a movement which will benefit human ity and Mr. Hitchcock fears it will be so unpopular tkat the democrats will be defeated in the election this fall. lie seems to think that all the democrats and the wet republicans will vote his way. The boasted Jeffersonian idea was, wo believe, high in its ideals.-- ., Some things do change, blit Ss yet: we bavn’t. heard of a case where a! drunken man rn^rtyj aji ideal husband1 and father. *.*».♦* i it * j TREASURER’S REPORT.

Veidon, Neb., .Inly 18, lb 10,—-Editor Kalis City Tribune Will you kindly permit me space to say a few words to my many democratic friends oil the question which la now agitating all i 'asses in this state, via, "County Option.” Strictly, 1 am not. a dem ocrat For the first, time In thirty four years I wish 1 was, that I might lie lr» position to help uphold this niov nieiii.. In writing this I wish to say before 1 was eighteen years ohl I overheard n man say of me, "Ask him; he will tel! you. he always lias a reason." I will say for myself if the other fellow has a wetter one I give up, and always try to Judge by results. Tin; fact is that It makes no differ ence to the distillery and brewery in - Wrests wlmt politics a candidate may have, lull only, which candidate they can amice tne best, bargain, 1ms forc ed me lo take my present position, and the fact that I state is proven by the World-Herald statement,"That fqr * lie democrats to adopt county option would defeat the party." If the democrats adopt a better policy than their opponents surely they do hot want to fool unwilling brew ers and distillers Into voting it If they don't want to. Regarding Ibis sumptuary legisla tion of which \ve hear so much, what does the Herald nnd Falls City News mean by it? The suit now pending bi’foii Tin' Supreme court on ap peal from the United Stales district court by the millers, regarding bleach ed flour, restricts our rights to use bleached flour arid the law forbidding the butchers using formaldehyde to prevent the detecting of taint (ri meat* prevents the placing of that on the niarke* again,' interfering with, somebody's right'to eat or tlrftik wliat they please. Tn fact, all the pure food luglKbrtion we have dot's this. Head bet ween tile lint's, Mr. Democrat; <lo you propose, if given, the opportrinfty to repeal,tllbfri1? Again, yeti’day “the democratic ■ party has always been lit favo' of granting to everybody tho Utmost freedom." So do I. ITert* we rrti on common ground. The re publican jr.iriy has always been a party of blgli' tariff. " Taft. Aldrich, and Cannon,' 'want to rend alt repub licans out of the party who do not agroi, wiib this, and 1 think they will succeed. Illtcticock, Dahliuan and Heed would read all democrats out of the party who do not agree will: them and I think they will suc ceed too. Hv all menus stand pat. Satan always dees. 'I’lii' World-Ilerald say#, “The dem ocrats all agree on The initiative and refl'i endturi." Iluh! There is no time like this time. Tin* deinoo (irnts had plenty of votes in the last legislature with what help the re publicans would give to have car ried it Why didn’t you pass it if you were so much in favor of it. The World-Herald again says, “Eighty per cent of tin* democrats are opposed to county option,” And rlglT here permit me to say the twenty per cent are democrats, like myself who voted for you because you advocated advanced politics and if you are going back to tin* old ex ploded cry of sumptuary legislature and personal liberty we will try and find some'one who Is not going back ward—maybe C. O. Wheadon. Again the World-Herald says: “To not put for or against county option in their platform does not show cowardice.” One much' more capable than Hitch cock said 1300 years ago. “He that is not for me is against me.” Closing permit me ty thank .1.
