The gen eral opinion was that shippers were rather afraid of a Labor day market and as a re sult many kept away that otherwise would have been here. " Am hu been tha case for some time peat there were not enough cornfed steers In the yards to tell anything about the market and as a result the only thing to be said Is that prlcea are practically unchanged. Packers, though, all claim they want more oornfeds to go with their westerns and that they will pay atrong prlcea for desirable grades. The cow market was quite active this nornlna and anything desirable waa strong to a dime higher than at the close of last week, uood nesny neavy cows seem io ds selling tf the best advantage, but still even the medium grades and canners brought a little better nrlcea than they did last week. Hulls, veal calves and stags were fully steady today and anything desirable met with ready sale. The demand for atockers and feeder waa fully as active today aa It -was a week ago and owing to the more limited offerings Drioes tinned up. The better grades were about a dime higher than on Friday of last week and even the commoner grades were fully steady and In some caaea a little hlshar. ackera took hold of the western beef teers In good shape this morning and the desirable offerings sold strong to a dime higher than the close of last week. There did not seem to be any more than enough to meet the local demand. Common gradee did not ahow so much Improvement. Choice western dehorned feeders were also about a dime higher, while the common and eape rlKiiv the common horned cattle were not much' more than ateady and somewhat neglected, tha same as they have been light along. Range cows that had any kill to them ware In active demand and aold atrong to luo higher. The medium .grades and cannera also brought fully aa good prices as they did laat week.

Th burned structure waa situated la th extreme southeastern portion, of the city, and. besides being In very Incooyenlent location for the travel- public, the building, which was of frame, would have been a disgrace to a town of 600 population.

EXPECT TO MAKE CLEAN SWEEP Seath Dakota May Not Have aa AatW Repahlieaa la the Legls later. PIERRE, S. D., Sept. 1. (Special.) While there Is practically no organised opposi tion to republicanism In South Dskota, with the open ng of the campaign, September 16, the work will be pushed as vigorously as If a hot campaign were on. A strong effort will be msde to secure a majority of 20,000 or more, and tb only thing which can pos sibly cause failure In this la the fact that republican voter will feet that It Is not necessary for them to get out on account of the large majority expected, and will al low the vote to be light by neglect. The work of the campaign managers will be di rected toward securing aa heavy a vote sa possible, and with It the large majority desired. The lsst legislature did not contain enough of the opposition to republicans to even make political matter Interesting, and tne coming session promises to nave even fewer of the opposition, as Indications are In favor of carrying every county in the state this year. Codington county may be an exception, as a so-called non-partisan legislative ticket has been put In the Held In that county by . a few republican, and In case they succeed In defeating the reg ular nominees, that county will probably have the only anti-republican delegation In the session, and be the only break in the solid line.

The Postoffice department a few months ago made arrangements to Install the free de livery system In thla city, and today It waa put Into effect There will be at the start five carrier routes, which have been established and men assigned to each, but It ia not believed that thia number will suffice to give the best ot service, for since the order placing the city on the free de- livery list was Issued ' It has been found that the business can be handled only with the greatest difficulty by this number ot carriers. Judging from the school census, recently taken, the city now contains population of 8,200. Award Free Scholarship. PIERRE. B. D., Sept 1. (Special.)

AMES, Neb.. Aug. 80, 1901. To th Ed ttor of The Bee: With reference to your editorial on Cuba tn Thursday's Bee. will you not treat tb matter analytically and candidly T I have read Senator Piatt's statement In tbe North American and fairly well kept the run of the general argument over the country, but there la always something omitted. No one recalls that beet sugar people have always offered to give th desired aid to Cuba in the form ot a rebate which would not ao conspicuously hand over to the Sugar trust ths control ot tbs distribution of sugsr in this country. People forget thst the ' reciprocity bill rould haye paased with the amendment abolishing the differential duty on refined sugar that Is, on condition of clipping ths clsws of the trust When an envoy, min ister of executive with limited power nego tiates a treaty which must be ratified. should he charge the legislature with moral obliquity It It chooses not to ratify? I can snd do see good reason and good morale In sustaining the executive In financial help to Cuba until Its Industries are duly de veloped and diversified and able to sustain itt peopls. I do not care how the help shall be given provided It is not so d s'gned aa to build up in Cuba ths sugsr In dustry of some American citizens v. hi! It pulls down sugar production of other Amer ican citizens in ths United States. The argument of our gain In Cuban com merce la a feeble one; people who grow can In Cuba ar not nearly aa valuable coBswaers of manufactured commodities as . ... i. people who grow beets in iNeorm.". all the controversy nothing nas oeen ,. more shsmelessly uafslr and ungenerous than the charge ao often mad by the Chi cago Tribune, that traitor to westers, agri culture, that the small bulk of beet auger doe not entitle It to recognition. We are not beet sugar alone, but eane In the south and beet In the nortn, ana the aggregate of sugar of our brother In Louisiana and Texa with beet ugr from California to New Tork la vea now a total by no mean negligible or con temptible. Th tatement by Senator Tlatt and other and o oft repeated that Cuban reciprocity will not Injur sugsr production I simply preposterou. Cuban reciprocity mean practically th extinction of all sugar productloa la this country, whether of can or beet. Tne sugar consumed In all th world can be produced on 10,000,000 acre of land, and no staple commodity may be so easily raised tn excess of the world's want. Tb welfare of thl stste and thla coun try Is the Important thing; and our abil ity to support la comfort la th future great number of families on small farm la of such transcendent value that thl hitch over the manner .In which w shall help the people of Cuba seem Ilk th perplexity of children In a gam of pusile. A to the opinion of the senator or tb executive on th point of Injury to our sugar production la th future, I beg leave to hold my own views. They are, after all. but men, and they may make a mistake Now Is th time for The Bee to Illuminate our mlnda by an exhaustive treatment of this beclouded matter, piercing through tb mists of political fancy work to the clear sky of pure reason. R. M. ALLEN. OFFICER IS RATHER HASTY Dassle of a Twenty-Thonsand-Dollar Reward Caaae Hint to Arrest Wrong Maa. FORT DO DOE, la.. Sept 1. (Special.) Harry Smith, a resident of Lehigh, nesr this city, was called upen to face an awk ward cnarge or murder today. He waa arrested by Marshal Schoonover of that place on suspicion of being a man named Dunham, wsnted for the murder of a family or Dve at San Jose, Cal., in May, 1896. A reward of 120,000 was offered for the arrest of Dunham. Bcnoonover tnought that he saw a re semblance between Smlth'a appearance and the published descriptions of Dunham, and put the handcuffs on his man without wait ing to verify the story. 8mlth satisfactorily proved his Identity and was released after brief confinement. It ia thought that the daisle of the $20,000 reward blinded the eye of the vigilant officer to the real facts in the case, as Smith resembles the published description in only a few particulars.
