Property Owners.
Property owners are advised to make application for gas ser-
vice to be extended to the curbing in front of their respective proper-
ties, on streets that are to be paved and where gas mains exist, prior
to the time of paving. This Company will make no charge for ser-
vices run to the curb before the paving is put down. After the
streets have been paved, 110 gas connections will be made from the
main to the curb unless Uie owner of the premises desiring gas se-
cures from the City the necessary permit for opening and replacing
the paving and file said permit with this Company at the time of
making application.
There Will be no charge, however, where the permit Is secured,
for making the service connections from the main to curb.

Live Stock Report.
Spcclal to the Messenger.
Kansas City Stock Yards, May 24,
1909. Quarantine catt|s receipts here
last week were 229 cats, a big in-
crease over recent weeks. The ad-
vent of grass cattle in fairly liberal
numbers being responsible for a
share of the increase. The market dt
clined 10 to 25 cents during the week
most losa on grassers. Some steers
half fed through the winter, but wth
no feed after going on pasture, sold
at 15.35, from vicinity of Collinsville,
other lower grade grasser? as low as
$4.05. The run today is 88 car loads,
market 10 higher, top corn fed steers
in quarantiqp division today 16.45,
meal fed steers from Texas at |5.80
and $6.00, and steers fed cake on
the grass at 15.00 to $6.50. Not a
great many cows are included, sales
of some at 12.75 to 94.76, veal calves
25 to 50 cents lower than a week ago
best $6.75. Supply of cattle fli the
native division here is smaller by sev
eral thousand head than on any re-
cent Monday, which confirms predic-
tions of traders that light runs may
be expected for a few weeks. It is be
lleved that price breaks during the
next month or two will be Of fcort
duration, as the wlfele cattle sftjia-
tlon is braced by an undercurrent of
strength In the consftmpttve demand.
Hog prices declined 10 to 15 cents
ing strong to 5 higher, top |7.35, bulk
$6.80 to $7.30. Light hogs have been
more freely offered during the past
week, and the percentage of well fin-
ished hogs is decreasing. Indications
point to a shortage of 15 per cent in
hog receipts here for May as compar-
ed with last May, and with the heavy
trade in pork product as well as the
fresh pork, the situation seems to be
safe for awhile.
Tribute to Claremore.
The good town of Claremore again
made good 'n the matter of enter-
taining the state presa association
last week. The writer has been at-
tending such meetings In the old
Indian Territory and Oklahoma for al
most twenty years and believes that
Claremore has a little the best of any
other place where the press boys
have ever met. Then the large atten-
dance at Claremore waa an inspira-
tion. Oklahoma ought to appreciate
her many bright newspapers. Tliey
have been the pioneer) la carving oat
this great state and are still keeping
pace with its wonderful advancement.

Most Rogers County people are fa-

banks, a prominent and respectable
farmer near Catoosa, a few months
ago killed his brother with a 22 rifle,
tiring a shot handed him by the vic-
tim for the purpose. The reason giv-
en out for the crime was that the
dead man was swearing in the pres-
ence of the accused's children. Much
interest is being manifested in the
trial.
