Receipts for the week were 52,600 bead, have been the heaviest so far this year, fully twice as heavy as last week, and western range cattle have constituted fully 15 per cent of the arrivals. During the early part of the week there was a keen demand for fat cattle and butcher stock, and prices ad vanced fully 16c to 25c. Later In ths week the demand fell off somewhat, particularly on the medium and common grades, and while these are selling In nearly the same notches as at the close of last week the better grades show an advance of fully 25c. Competition from feeder buyers has been keen all week and the outlet very satisfac tory In view of the very heavy supplies. Volume of business In stackers and feed ers has been the largest so far this year. Demand has been keen from the country for anything with weight and quality at prices around 25c higher than last week, but the heavy supply was more than could be read ily absorbed by the country ao that toward the latter part of the week prices declined sharply and at the close all except the best grades aro all of 25c lower than a week ago.

Conservative Buying for Immediate Makes or More Wholesale Conditions. New York, Sept. 31. Dun's review to morrow will say; "Ths gain In business with the advancing season Is not yet general or uniform, and ratner less of it is seen In the east than at otner points, wners none at all ap pears, or where there Is some actual re cession. It Is dus mors to uncertainty than lack of confidence In the future. At bot tom, business tn various branches hss hesl tated becauss the outlook la more or less clouded and the tendency to act with cau tion In anticipating forward wants grows In many qfarters. But while the present policy of conservative purchasing, more largely for Immediate and certain needs, contrasts sharply with last year's rush to contract far ahead at almost any figure, and Is disappointing to some Interests, It Is one which clearly makes for more whole some condition and more stable progress. The Inevitable reaction from the extreme prices reached during the time of un precedented demands baa already gone some distance In certain of the chief materials oflndustry and the readjustments have In some cases brought with them signs of re viving activity. though some of the buyers still hold off for further concessions by sell ers.

A bronzed young rancher rushed into the office of the British recruit ing office Saturday. , "I want to enlist," lie announced, "and I want to enlist in the part of the army that will get to the front the quickest! i , , "I got a letter this week from Eng land telling me my only two brothers and my uncle had been killed at the front. I want to get over on the fir ing line as soon as possible to avenge their deaths." ? Charles, Scandrett, a wealthy rancher of Wintertown, Neb., re ceived the letter from home the first of the week. In two days he had given a mortgage on his ranch, set tled up all his affairs and was on the way to Omaha. He was given his choice of any branch" in the service. Leaves in Ten Days. , "What branch do you wish to en ter," asked Sergeant Edney, recruit ing officer. ' , "I don't care -just so it gets me to the front at once. He also preferred the British to the Canadian forces, for the men joining the Canadian army , are sent to Canadian training camps for a while, .and those signing Up for the .British army go as soon as a ship is ready. He was told" he would be at the front in ten days and he went away happy, "Scandrett is just a sample of the cases we have daily," said, Sergeant Edney. "The Britishers are coming in fast, now that they know were here! Many from the northern and western part of the state are leaving their ranches to enlist." Thirty-three British citizens have enusiea at me recruiting siauun the last five days. , Denver and Kansas City. British recruiting Offices established by Captain. Ivan Finn at Denver and Kansas City are doing a rushing busi ness, word came to sergeant taney that a second office would be estab lished in another part of Denver, as the one established a week ago was snowed under with aoolicants. . At Kansas City Captain Finn and Ser geant Bowen are recruiting men far beyond their expectations. The Canadian Highlanders' Kiltie band popularly, called the "Ladies from Hell" passed through Council Bluffs today enroute to Kansas City. The band will return and play for Omaha during Ak-Sar-Ben week at the British recruiting station. Every man in this band has seen service at the front and was wounded, too,, so he could not return. They will wear tunics and kilts and play bagpipes and fifes., Strike Settled Soon is Belief of Conciliator in Movie Man Has Rather Unpleasant Time in This One Warner Oland, who plays the vil lain to Pearl White in the Pathe serial, "The Fatal Ring," has been 'called upon to do many dangerous and unpleasant things in the making of the picture, but it is doubtful if there has been anything quite to un pleasant as that which he was called upon to do the other day. After a struggle with Misl White upon the top of a fast moving railroad train he had to make a flying leap to es cape the trainmen who were supposed to come to Miss White's assistance. To prevent almost certain disaster it was arranged to have Mr. Oland make his jump as the train was pass ing over a trestle beneath which is an arm of the sea. The location man had visited the place at high tide and found plenty of water in which a man could jump with little danger, but when the time came to take the scenes things were different. No one thought to measure the depth of the water on this occasion. Mr. Oland did his jump magnificently, but as there was less than five feet of water his feet' were caught in the mud and held as in a vice. It took three men to pull the unhappy actor loose. Had there been a little . more water he might easily have been drowned be fore assistance arrived, This serial is now being shown '. Omaha theaters and is meeting with much favor. . In fact,, it has been well received throughout t this coun try, and in accordance with popular demand this company have extended same from fifteen to twenty weeks.
