WHERE, OH! WHERE?
Where is the place you can purchase kitchen fur-
nishings cheaper than here. We have the goods
and our prices are right. We don't promise the
earth for a dollar. But we promise you more
goods for a dollar, than you can buy elsewhere.
A look through our store will convince you that
we're right.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 22.
The break In rattle prices last week

day at all the markets nearly a third,
as compared with same days last
week. Run was 14.000 here yester-
day, mostly on stock cattle and she
stuff, and prices are five to fifteen
higher today, steers selling strongest
today. Killers were in almost pes si-.
mlstic mood last week, attributed to J
light orders for meats o;i account of j
hot weather. They were counting on
a heavy run this week, believing the
marketing of grass cattle could not
be controlled or restricted from this
time on. as few will concede that there I
is going to be any shortage of grass I

*rate salesmen will have the advant-j
age. but buyers will take advantage
of any heavy runs, and the keen edge
is soon worn off the market on mod j
erate runs. No prime fed steers have |
been here for ten days, some good
steers today at $0 SO. bulk of the :
grass steers In native division at $5
to $5.60. irrass cow« $1? ."0 fn $1! 7.". fed j
cows $4.50, heifers $6. bulls $2.40 to !
Veals are higher aeain this week,
after a good advance la«t week, tops
$7. Stockers and feeders remained i
about steadv last week, with the,
movement to the country largest of
the summer, nearly 300 cars. Mar-

week, stockers to $4.00. for,tors!
$4 to $4.00. The run of qua^n*^ < ne
cattle is moderate this week, and so j
far in Julv is a third smaller than I
corresponding tim last ,luly.
The hog is considerable short of
this time a year ago. and although !
?>rices ahe 00 cents higher than at
this time last year, buyers are fight-1
ing hard for reductions, and have been j
successful yesterday and todaw Run !
is 12.000 here today, market 5 to 10 ,
lower, top $6.57 1-2. bulk $6..°."> to
$6.50. Heavv hogs still lead in price,
account, of the very small number in-'
eluded in receipts. Pigs sell good,
at $5.25 to $5.75. In snite of protesta-
tions of buyers, it is believed that j
better prices will be paid later in the
week.
The mutton market has taken a
turn downward this week, after reach-
ing the high point of the summer^at
the close of last week. The run is
heavier this week, 7.000 here today,
and the small runs lately have been
main source of strength. While the
market appears healthy, prices will;
depend on volume of the supply.

be termed a dod-gasted fizzle.

probably be in actual warfare.

krt, and hereafter a shipping market
must be depended upon to take care
of the surplus.

that farmers can drive into the city.
If should now tackle another job. that
of providing ways and means for
farmers to water their teams while in
the city. For years two public water-
ing troughs were maintained on the
streets, but nearly a year ago. when
the joke for excavating for street
pavement was perpetrated, the trtfughs
were removed, and there is not now in
El Reno a place where a farmer can
water his team. No other city of it
size in all the Union is as lame in
this respect as El Reno is.

which is the host, will alone spend
more than $70,000. In addition the
thirty-two lodges of Boston will each
spend $r>00 to $1,500 for entertain-
ment and display. Some lodges, in-
dividuals included, will spend $5,000
in this way. The competition of
prizes extends to Seattle.
The uniform rank parade will be
entirely military and the value of the
prizes will total $1 1,000. In the
lodge parade on Wednesday there will
be gorgeous display by floats. One
of the most interesting companies
will be the Pythian Sisters, who have
promised at least seven floats.
It will take at least three hours
for the Wednesday parade, the long
est to pass one point
Many of the lodges will appear in
uniform dress of different designs;
living flags and emblems of the order
will also be presented in the parade

and 2.000 from Connecticut. Business
men are designing decorations for
their establishments along the line of
march, some promising that they will
surpass the best of the old home
week displays. From a granstand
<>n the Common, the parade will be
reviewed by Governor Guild, Mayor
Hibbard, and Supreme Chancellor
Judge Charles A Barnes of Illinois.
The meeting is the occasion of the
biennial assembly of the Uniform
Rank, Knights of Pythias. They will
encamp at Franklin park in 4,000
tents which have been ordered fori
the occasion. Their competition for
the $11,000 prizes is by efficiency in
drill as well as showing at inspec-
tion, and at the field there will b<
interesting cavalry and infantry man
euvers.
In the business meeting of the con
vention, which opens August 4, it if
expected that complete harmony wil1
prevail. Chancellor Barnes will pre
side. A Massachusetts man. Dr. Sid
ney Wood worth of Fitch burg, will b<
a strong candidate for supreme vic<
chancellor.
On the ev'ling of the opening da'
there will take plae. n reception t<
the supreme lodge, at which Speaker
John N. Cole of the legislature, will
preside. The governor, mayor and
officers of the order are expected to
make addresses On August 0 will
occur a reception and ball to the
uniform rank in Mechanic's hall.
One of the most interesting fea-
tures of those within the order wdl
be exemplification of the first and
third ranks in Mechanics' hall on the
evening of August 7 by Peter Wood-
land lodge of Lynn The great hall
^ ill probably be filled by Pythians
who will want to see this team of
one hundred or more men work with
its fabulously elaborate paraphernalia.
During the stay of the knights
there will be a never ceasing program
of sightseeing trips, ocean excursions
and shore dinners The reception of
the host of visitors is in charge of a
committee of twenty Ave
WILL HAVE CORN EXHIBIT.
This County Will be Represented at
National Corn Show.
The Commercial Club was inter-
viewed today by F. F. Feiguson, who
is in the service of the department
of agriculture, in regard to getting
up a corn show. His object is to have
ji big exhibition of corn made at a
meeting of the Farmers Institute, to
be held here late in November, and
from here the specimens will be taken
to the national corn show, which will
be held in Omftha, beginning on De-
cember 15th. Mr. Ferguson's plan i'
to offer premiums of $10 for the best
twelve ears, nd $5 for the second
best, of all the various sorts of fiel |
corn Tie thinks $ir.O would be re-
quired for the premiums in this coun
ty, and about the same in Grady and
Caddo .counties. He expeets to have
exhibits made in the three counties.
He is meeting with much encourage-
ment here, and there i no doubt tnat
the required sum will be raised in
K1 Reno, as -• v«-:-;i 1 h ading propert>
owners promptly subscribed liberally
he lived, over a loan which he made
to enable the county to build a cour*
house, is thought to have hastened
his end. He is survived bv a widow

Never before in the history of Can-
adian county was tin re so good an op-
portunity to make a good display of
the capabilities of this region in the
production of corn, and the county
will be greatly benefitted by having
the Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois farm-
ers see that. Canadian county's $"0-
to-$50 an-acre land produces as good
corn and as much of it to the acre
as does their land which is priced
three times that high.
