CLAY COUNTY SWARMS WITH MANY "LIGHTNING BUGS."

A Brazil dispatch says: Swarms of fireflies, or "lightning bugs," visited Clay county last night. Every field and pasture about this city for many miles was fairly alive with the flies, and there seemed to be millions of them. They hovered about four leet above the ground-, and appeared as a blanket of fire over the face of the earth. The oldest inhabitant can not remember seeing them in such numbers.

LIMIT ON STREETS.

OR RIDING BICYCLE ON WALKS

Says it Applies to Everyone and Those Who Fail to Comply With Law Must Take the

Consequences Fop Violations.

City Marshal William Shumway said today that he intended to arrest every automobile or motor vehicle driver who violated the speed law on the streets of this city in the future. He said the law governing the speed would be enforced to the letter against any and every offender.

The limit of speed in the business district of the city is eight miles an hour. He also said the ordinance prohibiting the riding of bicycles on the sidewalks would be enforced from nowr on, and that anyone caught riding on the walks would have to pay the penalty.

The officer says there have been a number of narrow escapes from accidents and some have occurred because of violation of these two laws. He and two special officers, Tuttle and Walsh, stopped a big machine, with five passengers, on East Main street Tuesday evening and placed the driver under arrest for exceeding the speed limit, but some citizens, he said, interfered and said the man was not going ten miles an hour, so they were released.

EIGHT THOUSAND HOGS: PRICES 10 TO

15c

LOWER.

Host Sales at $(5.05 to $6.15—Outside Demand Poor—Steers and Heifers Lower.

Receipts, 8,000 hogs, 1,300 cattle and 000 sheep, against 8,823 hogs, 1.522 cattle and 552 sheep a week ago, and 9,278 hogs, 1,792 cattle and 524 sheep a year ago.

Receipts of hogs were fairly liberal, the outside demand was not as good and other influences conIributed to decline in prices. The bulk of the morning supply, which included most of the early arrivals, was 10c lower, but later there was a further decline of 5c. On that basis the trading was active and the pens were well cleared. Sales ranged from $6.00 to $6.20, and were largely at $6.05 to $6.15.

There was not a large midweek "un of cattle, but enough to accommodate the demand, which was not as good as it has been recently. There was a lack of competition for all kinds of steers and sales represented a decline of 10c. Heifers, aside from top kinds, were also 10c lower, but there was not a great deal of change in prices of cows although the good kinds seemed hardly steady. Feeding cattle were 10c lower, bulls were about steady and calves strong.

There was a fair increase in the receipts of sheep and lambs, but the proportion of desirable kinds was no larger tha nnecessary, and prices for these were steady. There was a slow outlet for the common plain grades, especially thin lambs, which in some cases were 25c 1OWTer. Aside from a few small bunches of spring lambs at $6.75 to $7.00, sales ranged from $4.00 to $6.50. The best clipped lambs sold at $6.00 and there were few sheep here good enough to sell over $3.75.
