CATTLE There was the usual dearth of
cattle at the yards today and nothing ot
any consequence was doing. While the re
ceipts have not been as large as the ex
cessive run of last week, they nevertheless
show an enormous gum over tne corre
sponding week of lasuear, as will be
noted by a lance at .Us table at the head
of this column. With two successive weeks
of such liberal receipts, and with othet
market points sufferlngtcunder the same
oversupply, It is not surprising that values
have had a lower tendency. mis nas
transpired In spite of the fact that the de
mand has been exceedingly good, conse
quent upon an unprecedented demand for
meat products.
During the first two day of the week
beef steers were very free sellers at good
steady to strong price-- On Wednesday it
became apparent that packers, owing to
liberal purchases on the two preceding
days, Were getting pretty well filled up and
the market showed some signs of weakness.
This was followed on Thursday by a break
of fully loc. and as no Improvement took
place on Friday tne market at the close
of the week Is genemlly lOo lower than at
the close of last week on good kinds, with
warmed up and Inferior grades l&o lower
nr mnr.
Cows and heifer kept pace with tm
steer market during the first of the week
that is, the market was active and fully
steady. During the latter half of the week
the proportion of cows and heifers received
was very large and the market broke un
der the Influence of the large offerings In
spite of the very good buying demand.
Today it Is safe to quote the market for
the week 104 15c lower on fair to good
kinds, with common and medium grades
IMiSSc lower.
During the first half of the week fleshy
feeders were In extremely active demand
and sold at the highest figures of the
season. A good many weighty feeders
that had more or less corn sold at $5.00
and up, as high as 36.35 being paid for
some. During the latter part of the week
fewer country buyers were In attendance
at the yards, due possibly to rough and
cold weather keeping them at home. For
the lack of good buying supnort the market
eased off. the weakness being still furthei
Increased by a tendency toward an accumu
lation of cattle in the yards. The result
wss that even the best grades at the close
of the week are 104?15c lower than the hlirh
time. The light and thin stockers hive
suffered worse than heavy cattle, for the
reason that they have been more plentiful,
while the buying demand has been at no
time very active. Thev are In consequence
lM?2Sc lower than lat week, with the com
mon kinds 2M?40e higher.

HOGS Opened close to 10c higher this
mornlrg, the early sales being rlvht m
$6.70, with a sprinkling at $6.72 and a top
as nign as ins market was not
particularly active at the advance, but still
the hogs kept selling and a considerable
proportion of the receipts had changed
hands within a comparatively short time.
By the time half or two-thirds of the hogs
had sold advices from other selling points
Indicated a lower close and buyers here
suddenly came to the conclusion that they
did not want the hogs at such high prices.
The trade came ta a sudden standstill and
from that time on It was hard work to get
over 9D.QO lor anyuuiig. in uiner words,
rood share of the early advance was !,,
The hog market this week has been very
erratic and prices have swung back and
tortn wun surprising rapiaity, out the gen
eral tendency has been sharnlv imu u ...
Thus on Monday the prices on an average
were about 6c higher, but this advance was
lost on Tuesday and still more on Wednes
day, the hogs that day selling at the low
point of the week, or 7o lower than on
Monday. Thursduy'a market was a shade
higher and Friday's market 12c higher

SHEEP Of the few sheep and lambs re
ported in three cars were yearlings sold
before arrival at $;. and one car of good
lambs also sold bvfore arrival at ,.5o.
There were not enough actually on sale to
make any tet of t lie market and about
all that could be said of the day s trade is
to cull It nominally steady.
Receipts of sheep this week have been
about the same so far as numbers were
concerned, but slightly heavier than a year
ago. This mesns that the run has been
large. As noted before In these columns,
the receipts have consisted very largely of
ewes, with the result that packers became
overloaded snd the market broke sharply.
Even the best ewes declined 25c, with the
medium kinds 2611 36c lower. The break on
ewes also carried down the market on
wethers and yearlings, which are Iblli'
lower than last week. Strictly choice lambs
on account of the moderate supply have
remained fully steady, but the medium
grades, which have been more plentiful,
are 26c lower for the week.

Companion. Their combined subscription list is greater than that of any other three
magazines in their class. The reason: these three magazines fill every literary need of a
refined American family. Their combination in one great family group at a saving of
nearly one-half is easily

REVIEW OF REVIEWS
The more magarlnes there are

with it is to read the Review ot
Reviews. Entirely over and above
this reviewing section, it has more
original matter and illustrations
than moat magatlnes, and the most
timely and important articles
printed In any monthly. The Re
view of Reviews covers five conti
nents, and yet Is American first
tod foremost.

NEWSPAPERSIN LIBRARIES
Insufficient Space for the Most Im
portant Index of Dally
l.lfc.
a Proper and convenient housing and
handling of bound newspaper files present
pi 'blems that few libraries have ever
satisfactorily solved, but it Is rather sur
prising to learn that the library of con
gress Is having trouble of this kind. With
all the space In the great building and
with the care that should have been ex
ercised by architects to provide for all
needs,, It seems strange that suitable ar
rangements were not made for newspa
pers In the beginning. It npepars, how
ever, that these files, consisting of 36,fl0
volumes and Increasing at the rate of 1.600
volumes a year) are now shelved In the
cellar, which Is hot, damp from the steam
pipes, dusty. Inconvenient of access and
wholly unsuitable for them. They are
rapidly becoming damaged by the bad
handling to which they are subjected and
by the dampness, and congress Is to bo
asked to make provision for their proper
Installation.
The difficulty seems not to be so much
a lack of space as of shelving or stacks
rulted to the bulky volumes, but that these
were not built before the books were re
moved from the capttol shows carelessness
or a singular lack of foresight on the
part of some one In authority. The mat
ter is worthy of comment because of the
value of newspaper flies and the , Import
ance of preserving them. Most other
library matter can be replaced, or, If out
of print, republished, but it Is practically
Impossible to replace newspapers, and yet
though few reference books are of equal
importance, these files are commonly given
the least care by librarians. They are
made difficult of access and the service
In connection with them la Inadequate.
For historical purposes newspapers are
the most valuable of material, and old
newspapers when carefully and consecu
tively pr,prved are often In great de
mand by collectors . and by historical so
cieties. So far from being neglectful of
such flies librarians should give them spe
cial attention, should make them easy of
access and should keep a constant and
watchful eye on patron who use them;
for, sad to any, few of such patrons are
to be trusted not to mutilate the papers If
given opportunity; to cut out what they
desire Is so much easier than copying. It
is probable that with the wood pulp paper
now In use newspapers printed today will
be In a state of disintegration before many
years, , but It la worth whllo to preserve

SPILLING CONFISCATED LIQUOR
Bad l.edbetler Has Itasspcd tn.fMHT
Gallons of llooae at
Maakosee
At the southwest corner of the federal
court building In Muskogee. I. T., thl
brick wall furnishes Ihe buffer for Bud
Lcdbrtter In action, and there thousand!
of gallons of liquor, from the finest cham
pagne to the lowest grade of beer, have
been spilled. A spadeful of soil from thai
spot burned In the fire will give off an
odor of burning alcohol." If the glass of
broken N bottles were allowed to remain
there would be a pile half as high as the
court house itself.
I'nder the law when an officer finds
liquor In Indian Territory he must confis
cate and destroy It. I yd bet ter la a speciej
officer whose, duly it is to suppress boot
legging. He hss come nearer breaking it
tip than any other man in Indian Terri
tory. But even he Is at this time more
or less discouraged.
To keep liquor out of a town of 26,000
people with Ave railroads In the city. In
addition to having half a hundred other
towns In his district. Is not a email mat
ter, especially when a bootlegger can
double his money on every quart of whisky
he can get Into the territory, and when
profit end thirst create geniuses In the art
of getting liquor past the marshals.
When Ledbetter finds any considerable
quantity of liquor he gets a dray, hauls the
stuff to this corner of the old court house
and destroys It by hurling the bottles
against the brick wall. Letbetter In action
always draws a big and thirsty crowd. AH
are willing to assist, with the hone of
being able to get sway with one bottle
without Ledbetter seeing them. Often
liquor runs in a stream down the gutter
and negroes will kneel down and drink It.
When this Is done a match is applied so
that flames will spread over the top of
the liquor soaked ground. This keeps the
negroes off, no matter how thirsty.
The court house corner was selected be
cause It Is sheltered from the wind In
I the winter and there Is a large shade tree
valued in the summer. How much whisky
haa been spilled there Ledbetter does not
know, but he says there have been thou
sands of gallons. He has figures to show
that during the Isst three years he haa
confiscated 10,000 gallons of liquor, worth
at Indian Territory prices $SO,O00. 1
Bud I e1 better Is 64 years old, a six-footer
and weighs more than 200. He haa been
an officer for twenty-five years and haa
never been seriously wounded In a fight.
He has been a deputy marshal In Indian
Territory for thirteen years and Is consid
ered the best field deputy in the country.
He made his reputation at that reckless
period when the fight for supremacy was
on between the government officers and the
gangs of outlaws which ylnfested Indian
Territory. I
Since the outlaw days are past Ledbetter
has been specially detailed to break up the
liquor business. He haa worked faithfully
at It for three years, and while he hag
not suppressed It entirely, It Is harder to
get a drink in Muskogee today than it
ever was before, and that, too. In spite of
the greatly Increased population. He can
find liquor where no one else would ever
think of It.
His most effective resource Is the "fence"
he has established on the express lines
and freight trains entering this district.
He has spotters, and scores of packages
containing liquor are tipped off to him
before the trains reach Muskogee. By
watching a negro walking down the street
he can tell by his actions whether he Is
a bootlegger. By shaking a box or trunk
he can tell every time whether there le
liquor in 11. Kansas City Star.
