RICHMOND MARKETS Hogs and cattle are still climbing the high price ladder, and as new corn yesterday took a drop of five cents on the bushel many farmers are feeding their corn to stock and particulary hogs, as much more money can be realized on each bushel of corn in thi3 manner, than by selling it outrightThe millers of Richmond are buying corn at 33 cents per bushel while hogs of 200 and 250 lbs. average are worth $6.65 to $6.75 per hundred. By feeding corn to hogs the farmers can realize 70 to 75 cents on each bushel of corn fed, where they would receive but 35 cents on the wagon market. A bunch of good shoats can be fa ten ed in from DO to 100 days and the farmers of Wayne county ex pect that at the time, when they are ready to place their young hogs upon the market, those animals will sell for at least seven cents per pound, netting them even more than 75 cents for their corn. The milling companies of Richmond are suffering from the scarcity of corn and as the result the grinding of meal is far below average proportions. THE LOCAL MARKETS.

tributed. The high prices prevalent at the opening brought about larger offerings of stocks. In addition to this the bear factions were active and concentrated their attacks with success against Pennsylvania. The result was a precipitate fall in prices, which willed out the initial advances and drove some stocks considerably bolow yesterday's closing. Sluggish and Uncertain. The trading was almost idle at times and the price movement sluggish and uncertain, with the general list little affected. Bonds were steady. Large offerings of special stocks. such as Pennsylvania, Reading, Erie, Southern Railway and Amalgamated Copper, came on the market again and drove them to the lowest. The general market while not much affect ed fell back sympathetically. CAPTATN' bill' m'donald. Noted Texas Ranger, Who Figures In the Brownsville Incident. Captain Bill McDonald, the Texas ranger who figures in the Brownsville (Tex.) incident, was mentioned in Major Blocksom's report as the man who "would charge hades with a bucket of water!" He was sent by Governor Lanham of Texas to the scene of the shooting as soon as the executive learned of the affair. He is one of the most noted peace officers In the southwest and has been commander of a company of Texas rangers for nearly twenty years. He has been under fire so many times that he has become hardened to the dangers Involved In his occupation, has killed many men In the course of his discharge of duty and has been wounded so often that he Is scarred all over. . Only a few weeks ago he and three members of his company bad an encounter with Mexicans In ambush. The Americans were fired on in the darkness, and they returned the fire, being guided In their CAPTATN BILTj M'DONAIiD. aim by the flashes of the guns of the attacking party. They killed four Mexicans and wounded others. Ten years ago the captain had a fierce encounter with Sheriff Joe Matthews of Childress county and two deputies over the custody of a prisoner whom McDonald had arrested in an adjoining county. The sheriff -and his men avowed their Intention of killing McDonald, and, hearing of their threat, he was ready for them. They met In the public square and pulled out their pistols at once, Matthews getting in the first shot, penetrating McDonald's right lung. The wound did not finish him, and he fired at Matthews, the bullet striking a piece of plug tobacco and a notebook that shielded the letter's heart. The two men fired again, and Matthews sank unconscious from a bullet wound near the heart. McDonald got a bullet in the neck, but was not put out of business and. being attacked by the two deputies, fired at them and sent them flying down the street. Lord EUenborough And His Sa.rca.sm T HERE are few places that have given birth to more humor and wit than the courtroom. Many have heard of the humor of the fa mous Lord Ellenborough. One day a young member of the bar rose to address the court in a grave criminal case. "My unfortunate client" he began, repeated It two or three times and then stopped short. "Go on. sir; go onT said Ellenbor ough. '"So far the court is with you." At another time I(.in4ie Jackson, who despised technicality ad reveled in eloquence, began hi argument with "In the book of nature it is written" Ellenborough broke in with. "Be good enough to mention the page from which you are about to quote." One day during an Important criminal trial a surgeon was called to the stand, and when asked his profession he said, "I employ myself as a physician." "But," said Ellenborough, "does any one else employ you as a physician?" When Westmoreland was in the house of lords he rose to give his opinion on a question In debate and said, "At this point I ask myself a question." "And a stupid answer you are sure to get to it," murmured Ellenborough. St. Louis Republic.

President Roosevelt submitted a tnes sage to congress a few days ago concerning the gold medal presented to France by the United States April 20, 1900, In commemoration of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. The presentation was made by Secretary Root to M Jusserand, the French ambassador, at a celebration in Philadelphia. Accompanying the report was a let ter from M. Jusserand explaining the exact disposition made of the medal by France. A large case In the center of the Hall of Honor of the Museum of Medals at Paris has been given over to the Franklin medal, which is surrounded by Washington and Lafayette medals and other emblems suggesting the American revolution. A Saltan's Letter. President Roosevelt has received a letter from the sultan of Morocco expressing his gratitude for the appointment of Samuel R. Gummere as American minister to Morocco. The letter Is written in Arabic. The sultan addresses the president as "the iteloved, tho most cherished, the exalted, the most gracious friend, most honored and excellent president of the republic of the United States of America, who is the pillar of Its great influence and the director of its most important affairs, the most celebrated preserver of the ties of true friendship, tho faithful, Theodore Roosevelt." President's Western Trip. ' President Roosevelt will probably go to Indianapolis, Ind., on Memorial day this year to deliver an address on the occasion of the unveiling of a numuI xnent to General Henry W. Lawton, j who was killed in the Philippines . shortly after the United States took charge of the Islands. General Lawton was a Fort Wayne man. and the president had always regarded him as one of the great and faithful soldiers of the country. When at Santiago In com-! mand of the rough riders the president was immediately under General Law-, ton and only a few days ago promised the general's widow to send her son to West Point as a cadet. Indianapolis will probably be the first etop In a rather Important trip the president will make to the west early in June. He has accepted several Invitations to talk to colleges at their commencement season if he Is able to do so. One of these is In Missouri and the other in Michigan. He has a score or more of Invitations to other places, but some time ago he was disinclined to accept them. . Ace of the District. It has been 118 years since the legislature of the state of Maryland, sitting at Annapolis, passed an act ceding to the United States government a territory ten miles square, anywhere with in the state tbat the federal officials and commissioners might select. The bill thus passed on Dec. 23, 1788, was Immediately signed by Governor John Eager Howard, fifth American governor of Maryland. It thus became a law. Virginia's Gift. On Dec. 3. 1789. Virginia, following tho lead of Maryland, passed an act donating a tract ten miles square to the government, but It was not until July 1G, 1790. that President Washington feigned the bill establishing the seat of government of the United States on the banks of the Potomac between the j eastern branch and the Connogochegue j In accordance with the terms of the eighth section, article L of the constitution of the United States, which sets forth that: "Congress shall have power to exercise exclusive legislation, in all casia whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may by cession of particular states and the acceptance of congress become the seat of government of the United States." This was the article that had In 1788 Inspired the Maryland legislature to donate a tract ten miles square, under which the site of the capital was accepted by congress In 1700. The tract ceded by Virginia was afterward (in July, ceded back to the state of Virginia. CARL SCHOFIELD. In the De flop Cafe. Mr. Mouse Ah, I see Mr. Frog Is running a first class eating counter!
