SMALL RUN SENDS HOG PRICES BACK UP TO $9

CATTLE IOC TO 15C HIGHER

Indianapolis, Ind., August 3.

Receipts, 3,500 hogs, 1,200 cattle and 400 sheep against 4,596 hogs, 3,758 cattle and 741 sheep a week ago and 5,784 hogs, 1,613 cattle and 373 sheep a year ago.

The receipts of hogs were fully one thousand less than the daily average this year. There was a strong demand from outside sources, which caused aggressive competition and uneven but decidedly higher prices, 10 to 25c. Hogs weighing 225 pounds upward sold at $8.35 to $8.65, with 190 to 220-pound kinds at $8.65 to $8.85, and the regular weights at $8.95 to $9.00.

There was a small Wednesday run of cattle, not enough to meet the normal requirements of the trade. There was an active demand from all sources for the good cattle, and they were 10c to 15c higher, making a gain of 25c so far this week. Plainer kinds sold only a iittle better. Feeders and bulls were steady to strong, and calves 25c lower.

There was a falling off in the receipts of sheep and lambs and prices were strong to 25c higher. Lambs sold for $4.00 to $6.50, but most of the supply wa9 a class that sold for $5.50 down. Breeding dwes sold as high as $4.25 and sheep for $2.00 to $4.00.

Matt Enright Dead.

Matt Enright, formerly of this county, died at his home near Pampa, Texas, last Saturday. He had been in bad health since early last spring, but his death was unexpected. The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble and he died suddenly. He was about 53 years old. Last October a year ago he and J. A. Corbin left Hancock county for Gray county, Texas, where they purchased farms. Mr. Enright had a farm of 80 acres.

He leaves a wife and two sons and one daughter. He was a brother of Dan Enright, of West North street, and a brotherinlaw of Thomas Coffey, this city, their wives being sisters. Mrs. Enright was also a sister of Lute York. Hia son, Virgil, is sick in a hospital at Kansas City, where an operation for appendicitis was recently performed upon him. His condition is such that he has not been informed of his father's death.

6000 RESULTS FROM MEW SEED WHEAT

Dayton M. Kyser Raises Almost Fifty

Bushels of Wheat to the Acre on

Wilson Farm.

Dayton M. Kyser who lives on the farm in Blue River township, of Supt. George S. Wilson, of Indianapolis, raised perhaps the largest yield of wheat per acre that has been raised in Hancock county this year. Last fall Mr. Kyser sent to Iowa and purchased enough seed to sow two acres of wheat. He sowed a bushel and a half to the acre and persons who saw the wheat before it was cut say that it was too thick, that the the yield would have been larger. As it was he threshed 98% bushels of wheat off of the two acres—machine measure. The grain is small and solid and will weigh even more than the machine measure. The grain is in demand for seed, at a good margin over the market price.

WILKINSON IS OUT AFTER THINGS

This County Many Years and tory, Creamery and Horse Show

Was Widely Known. Contemplated.

the next meeting. As funds are necessary in such an enterprise as this, it was voted to charge a membership fee of $1, and dues 25 cents per quarter. Quite a number signed the roll, and it is expected that the Club will start on its campaign with about fifty members.

It was stated, among ather things that there was an opportunity to get an electrical appliance factory with a little effort, and also a creamery.

Steps were also taken to hold a horse show this fall, and a committee was appointed to get the matter under way. Mr. Robert L. Staley is making a new half-mile track in the northeast part of towji, which will, it is said be an excellent place for such an exhinition.

Appointed for His Ability. Charles F. Reeves, of this city, has been appoined a deputy in the office of the State Accounting Board at Indianapols and is now engaged in the work there.

Mr. Reeves is particularly suited to this work and is a valuable man in the place. It is not an easy matter to secure men that are accountants, stenographers and typewriters combined. There are numbers with one or two of these accomplishments, but it is the exception to secure a man equally good in each. There is said to be no more valuable man in the office than Mr. Reeves, who for six years was the official reporter of the Hancock circuit court, after having served in Government offices in Washington. On retiring from the office of court reporter he went into the Capital State Bank. He is also a graduate of the Indiana Law School.

The Olive branch Sunday school class of the Presbyterian church, taught by Robert Wiliiamson, picnicked Tuesday afternoon at the Orphan's home at Knightstown. Those who attended were Misses Allie and Laura McKee, Margaret Baldwin, Ma^y Adams, Jessie Vaughn, Nellie Webb, Tillie Wray, and Mrs. Osbert Summer, Mrs Maud Herman, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Boone and Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Williamson.

with the result that a largely attended meeting was held Monday evening, at which the Business Men's Club was organized, with the intent of boosting the town and bettering the conditions generally. The meeting was not enthusiastic nor were large promises made, but there appeared to be a settling down to steady effort and striving success.

Dr. Benjamin acted as temporary chairman, and soon the following permanent officers were elected:

As Predicted in the Daily Reporter the

Lawyers Met Their Waterloo at

the Fair Grounds.

The Lawyers where shaved, shampooed and scalped in the ball game Tuesday afternoon with the Barbers at the Old Fair Grounds. The Daily Reporter predicted this result when it reported the challenge of the lawyers had been accepted by the barbers. The law3rers were successful with the business men, due in part at least to the fact that the latter had no catcher willing to be 'throwed at by a connon ball." But the Barbers were different. They are there with the goods and how they went through the Lawyers was awful. Charley and George Tindall pitched for the Lawyers and Earl Sample was behind the bat. Twenty-eight runs were marked up against this battery.

In the opening of the game Ed Boring was in the box for the Barbers, but the Lawyers found him for fourteen runs, and the score was 14 to 5 in favor of the Lawyers, when in the fourth enning Nolan Parish relieved him. The Lawyers could do nothing at all with the young man's delivery and only made three runs in the six innings he was in the box, while the Barbers added 23 to its total, Harry Wilfong caught him and was on the spot. The final score was 2S to 17.

RESOLUTIONS.

We, your committee, beg leave to submit the following resolutions: Whereas, by the removal of the Hon. E. W. Felt from our city, the American Bible Class of Bradley M.

parable loss. For ten years he has in a manner highly creditable to himself and to the satisfaction of the class occupied the position of teacher. Therefore resolved, (1) That we sincerely and deeply regret that it is necessary that he must go elsewhere, thereby dissolving the relation of teacher and class, which has been fraught with so much profit to us, and we trust with great pleasure to him. Therefore,

President, George E. Condo ice nized and heartily approved the impartial consideration, which he accorded to every member of the class and to their opinions, thereby evinca true catholicity and a broad mindedness, that is worthy of our highest commendation, marking him as a man not bound by creeds and dogmas, but one who concedes the right of things per-

A committee on Constitution and By-laws, consisting of John Garriott, D. M. Cooper and Bert Duncan, was appointed to draw up rules for the opinion to every man, in government of the Club, to report at taining to religion.

Resolved, (2) That we have recog-

Resolved, (3) That as we tender him our heartfelt thanks, we are conscious that they are but a poor tribute of our appreciation of his work as our teacher, and we earnestly assure him that we feel that it is beyond our power to bestow upon or express to him the full value of our appreciation of his work.

Resolved, (4) That while in some minor points we may have differed, yet in the great fundamentals of our religion he was sound and definite, ever maintaining a true orthodox, one not hampered by traditional dogmas, but voicing an independent assurance based upon the teaching of the Holy Scriptures, and entirely devoid lof anything like bigotry,,

Resolved, (5) While we regret his removal from our midst and that we are to be deprived of his personal association and instructions, we take great pleasure in commending him to the people among whom he is to make his future home, and to the church and Sunday school to which he may be affilliated.

Resolved, (6) That as a class we extend to Brother Felt and his family our best wishes for their future prosperity and happiness, and that we will ever -pray that every earthly blessing may be theirs, should sorrow and adversity befail them, may they in the hour of ^deepest trial hear the voice saying, "We will come to you, and comfort you, at the setting of the sun."

Go Up Head.

Editor Reporter—I see through the columns of the Daily Reporter where my old friend, White Stockings raised 38 bushels of wheat to the acre. Now thats nothing. I heard of afield of wheat once that was'so heavy they could not cut it at all and they just took horses into the field and tramped it out and the shelled wheat run out at the third crack in the fence all around the Held. Let us think.
