It is estimated that the steers | will average at the present time 1,500, aud if the pleasant weather contin- ues for a couple more weeks they hope to make them pull the beam at ; 1,700. They intended to ship this week but the market being in such a | bad condition decided to hold over a short time longer. | | | \ | am | Farmers, see Lane's new prices on dry goods. i | The net receipts of the bard con- cert at the opera house Tuesday evening of last week, were in the neighborhood of $75.

During the high wind of Monday evening which came up so suddenly about 4 o'clock, the walls of the brick livery stable on North Main street, left standing from the recent fire, came down with a crash. A boy standing in front of the building came near being caught, and had he | not had a slight warning by brick dropping from the arch of the front door would have certainly been buried beneath the debris. The walls have been dangerous since the fire and should have been condemn- ed by theauthorities andtaken down immediately. And this isthe way we like to hear our good advertisers talk. Mr. A. L. Weil, business manager for the old firm of R.
