LIVE STOCK AGENT.
L. W. Drake of Ft. Worth Vlait
Vinita.
Mr. L. VV. Drake general agent
for St. Louis National Stockyard
was in town yesterday evening
and while here called at (be Chief-
tain office. When asked regarding
"stock matters and the condition of
the market Mr. Drake mid:
"At National Stockyards St
Louis Wednesday cows averaging
753 pounds sold for 83.10 and COS
pounds sold for $3.25 which was
very good sale for quality offered.
Receipts the past week have been
largely very common cattle all
go'od quality are selling high. St.
Louie market outranks any com-
petitive market and sells all tbeir
receipts daily. We looks for good
pricei for good quality stuff lor
balance of season." '
An Original Story.
"After the Ball" 'MBweet Marie
stood "On the Banks of the Wa
bash." singing "A Hot Time in
the Old 'Time Tonight." She
stubbed her toe. and had it not
been for "Ben BoJt." who was try-
ing to "Hang Something Over the
Moon" she would have "Fallen"
and then there would have been
"A Vacant Chair." After tbe res-
cue he persuaded' her to rest
"Neath the Shadow of the Pines."
Scarcely were they seated when
tbey saw approaching "Two Little
' Girl in 'Blue" singing "Who'll
Buy my Flowers?" Ben replied
"I will buy your flowers as they
remind me ot "My Boyhood Hap-
. j say Down on the Farm.' "
ia g rested tbey started on
th . 'homeward way. Glancing
l "Sweet Marie" said'- here
"an "'Alabama Coon."

Miscellaneous Sketches Suggested by
the Surrounding.
Br THE DAILY rHIkPTATW rij
The first thing which tbe visitors
from the prairie sections nf the
country tackles on coming here
re the mountains. The trails are
kept in fair condition as far up as
a person can go without undue fa-
tigue. But this does not satisfy
visitors from the flat country gen
tlemen or ladies. Entranced by
the beauty of tbe surroundings
and buoyed up by excitement and
the exhilerating atmosphere tbey
make their way up on paths which
would baffle any four-footed ani
mal and far beyond the limit of
prudence! When endurance is
taxed well-nigh to the utternjost
tbey start back and very soon
make the discovery they have
gone too far. And the further
down they go the more fully tbey
appreciate the fact for it is much
more dilhcult and tiring to go
down than up. Enthusiasm ani
mation and excitement have de
parted. There in just tbe drudg
ery of getting bHck to tne bottom
Isext day you realize more fully
than evpr you have been too far.
miri . i A. . .
-wnai aoes n cost?" Like ev-
ery oher report the hotel make
it cogl "good and plenty" if you
are going to stay but a short time
and give them an unnortunit v.
A real estate agent paid today that
cottages three to five rooms fur
nished rented at from f 100 totlSO
lor "the season" urobablv three
and a half months. A few weeifs
more would cost no more nor leei1
Tbe difference is in location fur
niture condition etc. These
rooms would perhaps rent to in
oiviauais at lour to seven dollars
week. A good many people
lease cottages and then rent out
the rooms. If there is a good
demand for rooms and they can
keep them occupied pretty much
all tbe lime it is quite profitable.
A meal ticket 21 meals at places
generally patronized by the tran-
sients who hire rooms costs $5 50.
Groceries are a little higher than
at Vinita; produce very . much
higher except creamery butter
which is 25 cents. House servants
are in demand and get good wages.
A great many families bring their
servants or nurses with them par-
ticularly the Texans who with
the Kansans next iorm the larg-
est .number of vjsi tors strange
coincidence or mixture.

W. R. BADGETT.
Just as we were speculating on
having been out from home the
best part ot a week without having
seen a familiar face except Bob
Kite who ran the Frisco train as
far as Newton the section from
Wichita being under Santa Fe
management Miss Alice Cooper a
smiling countenance was observed.
Tbe lady is stopping at Colorado
Springs and like everybodyelse
who cornea to Colorado for pleas
ure found it necessary to make
Manitou a visit. '
Lieutenant R. C. Day's regi
ment tbe 34tb left their rendez-
vous at Fort Logan near Denver
today for San Francisco cat for
tbe fact that the railroad was slow
in providing transportation facil-
ities they would have been away
Beveral days ago. There was no
emonslratlon no flowersjust a
regiment of sturdy Uiii!4ed States
volunteers going forth to do battle
in the Orient. The future move-
ments -of this regiment will be
watched with a great deal of inter
est by Vinila's people j
"We are Christians and turn no
one away" said an old resident
today; "but we do not solicit con-
sumptives; the hotels will not take
them and the owner of cottages
prefer not to lease them." There
are no throat and lung specialists
here whereas there are several at
the Springs." Tbey encourage
their patients to locate there and
so the matter is adjusted agreeably
to both towns. The beat intoima-
tion obtainable is that this climate
is an ideal one lor those amicted or
threatened with pulmonary diseas-
es if there are no complications
involving the heart. The extreme
dryness of the air makes it an un-
favorable prace for those who have
nasal catarrh though if there were
bronchitis complications it might
prove beneficial. .
It ib said to be 10 to 15 degrees
cooler at Manitou in the summer
than at Colorado Springs seven
miles distant. In the winter it is
very much warmer at Manitou
than at its sister town on tne
plains. The difference in favor of
Manitou in the summer resalts
frqm its proximity to the moun-
tain's 'snow. It Ja protected by
the mountains from the winter's
winds. A tewn that has the best
of it both ways ought to be happy.

There is no end of curio stores
and bazaars here and some of them
set a tolerably high value on fcome
of their treasures. A party named
Dickens conducta the "Old Curios-
ity Shop" at Colorado Springs and
has a branch here. Thfv Drob-
