Provisions Live Stock, Grain and Stock Markets

RICHMOND MARKETS Orders for fish are not being filled as readily as they were two weeks ago, for stocks are not large and dealers say they are having considerable difficulty in getting enough fish of certain kinds to supply the trade. Frozen fish are coming in good quantities. They are in fine condition better, 'dealers say, than at the beginning of the season last year. Demand for fish, in general, is heavy. Oysters continue scarce, and there Is little liklihood of an early decline in prices. Shell oysters and clams are selling in larger quantities than at any previous time this season.

How the Colonel Came to Make a Speech at Cut Rates. "Well, gentlemen, what can I do for you today?" queried the colonel as he entered his office after a brief absence and found three farmer looking men in possession.

"What's your fig-err' "1 delivered two county fair addresses last fall and received $50 each." "Urn! Too high." "There was no fault found with my prices last year. It takes time to prepare one, you know, and then I must Journey down and deliver it. The figure I liamed Is a very reasonable one." "Look here, colonel," said the chairman of the committee after considering a bit. "have you got one of your old addresses on hand?" "I believe so." "And can't you put 'er In for twen-'-flver "But some one might get on to it. "We'll take all the chances of that. All the people , who will listen to you will be old Mrs. Cosely, who Is as deaf as a post, and old Jim Shaw, who will take it for a Fourth of July oration anyhow, and you won't run the slightest risk. Won't this make a difference In your figgers?" The colonel blushed and stammereJ and said he thought it would, and when the committee left they had his receipt for $30, and he agreed to be on time.

NEW YORK MARKETS tPnhlishers Prel New York, Jan. 3. Some sharp los ses occurred in the opening deal ings of the stock market, but gen eral declines were limited to a small fraction, some of the international stocks deriving strength , from higher prices abroad. This was most noticable in St. Paul, but the rise here was not fully up to the foreign advantage. Much of the business of the first hour was conducted in a hesitating manner, the uneasiness regarding monetary conditions and the successful bear drives against the special stocks, discouraging confident buying. After a series of irregular fluctuations, prices took a definite trend upward. Sold Harriman Stocks.

"There was a few years ago," said Major Hotchkiss, "a man at Badger Rock. Mont., who joyed In calling himself Wildcat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat. Not that that was his name, of course, or that his name was Bill or even William, or that, so far as I know, he had ever seen a wildcat or would have known a rattlesnake if he had met one, and I am certain there was no such place as Bender's Flat, but this is what he was pleased to call himself. In point of fact, his name was Ernest Wilberforce or something of that sort, and he came originally from Baldwinsville, Conn., or some such mild, wildcatless and nonrattlesnake neighborhood. "His finances became reduced, and the time came when something had to be done. He determined to take up the vocation of desperado in a purely commercial way. "Badge? Rock was at that time a small town eugaged chiefly in the business of transferring people from the railroad station to the stages which ran to certain gold and silver mines. A great many eastern people, capitalists and so forth, passed through it, but few stayed in the place more than a few hours. "One day, a half hour before the train from the east was due, the clerk of the iiotel was astonished to see this man "enter, clad in most striking cowboy costuni, wearing a belt with two revolvers and a knife in it and carrying a heavy double barreled shotgun wtth the barrels sawed off so that they

were not more than a foot long, making a weapon such as is sometimes affected by desperate characters, treasure coach guards, deputy sheriffs or other individuals engaged In turning their hands against their fellow men. "It is a piece of- ordnance which is supposed to be loaded with Inordinate charges of powder and irregular slugs of lead. It makes an excellent companion for one gentleman ,to wait around the corner with for another gentleman who has been telling about town that he (the first gentleman) is a liar. "To the surprised inquiries of the hotel clerk Wilberforce explained that he was now Wildcat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat, and that all he asked was the simple privilege of waiting behind the half open door of the office for Pete Smith of Tatchen's ranch. The clerk had never heard of any of these names before, but as there was no rule against it he assented. "It was not long before the train arrived, and an elderly and correct appearing man alighted and made his way toward the hotel. He was, in fact, a prominent Boston capitalist, and this was his first trip to the somewhat extensive region west of the Connecticut river. As he entered the door of the hotel his eye caught the muzzle of the shotgun, with its two cavernous shafts, apparently about the size of sewer pipe, which projected au inch beyond the edge of the open door. A glance behind showed a most murderous Individual, breathing short and with his finger moving nervously on both triggers. The Boston man stepped quickly to the clerk and whispered: "'Who who is that man? "that's Wildcat Bill, the Rattle snake of Bender's F'lat,' answered the clerk. " 'What what is he doing?' "Waiting for Pete Smith of Patchen's ranch,' replied the clerk. "'Will will he shoot him?' ' 'He will blow him Into pieces unless Pete shoots first." "'Is the the gentleman expected goon?' went on the man from the Hub. " 'Pete comes In at 2:45 for a drink. "The visitor consulted his watch and found it was 2:30. " 'Is there no way to stop such a terrible thing? he inquired earnestly. "The clerk shook his head. 'No,' he replied. 'Bill has shot twenty-two men, and, you see, he's got a three cornered file In his mouth now to file the twenty-third notch in his six shooter after he gets through with Pete. But, add ed the clerk confidentially, "perhaps he could be hired to postpone the operation for a few hours, say till after you have left for the mines.' "The upshot of It was that for $10 the Rattlesnake agreed not to shoot Pete till after 3 o'clock, and the Boston man again drew a full breath. 1 "Naturally so easy and rapid a way of making money could not be left uncultivated, and Wildcat Bill became a regular thing behind the hotel door at train time. He divided profits- with the clerk, and they did a thriving business. His terms for consenting to postpone temporarily" the awful slaughter of bis enemy varied from $5 to $50, according to the means or terror of the subject. Only one attempt proved a total failure. This was in the case of a rollicking youth from Louisville, who sat down and announced that he was going to wait and see the fun. He was finally tired out by the inexplicable failure of Pete Smith to arrive. "The game was kept up several years and would perhaps have been still going on had It not been for an unfortunate accident. One day a man came Into the of5ee with a black ebony eane. Having a valise in either hand, he was carrying this cane in a horizontal position tinder his arm. When the end of it poked around the door Wildcat BilL the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat, mistook it for the muzzle of some sort of weapon, uttered an agonized cry, dropped his own gun, leaped through a window and ran a half mile for safety. It unnerved him to such an extent tha-t he never returned to his profession and finally dropped out of sight." Many ills come from Impure blood.
