BROAD HORSE TRADE.
Chicago, M&v 21.—The industrial'de
mand for business horses stimulat
ing receipts above even the record
volume or last year's offerings as evi
denced by the run of 2,403 horses the
current week, against 2,202 for the
corresponding week a year ago. The
increased demand for commercial
classes is shown In the remarkable
manner in which the late spring re
ceipts hold Up as compared with the
same period last year, as the decline
in receipts the current week totals but
218, While receipts the same week last
se&Son droped oft 1,008 head. Heavy
business offerings Were toned by the
execution of large orders by express
and Ice companies for the season's
supplies, the bulk of their purchases
ranging at $180@200, with a few ex
tra pars taken at $425@480. Local
consumption Is largely in excess of
last season, as industrial demands are
broader and more urgent. Choice har
hess classes are steady at $160@375
and upward, but medium quality driv
ers are slow at $75@140 the principal
demand being by the southern trade,
which Is taking a much better class
of offerings than the earlier consign
ments of the Season. The demand for
lip-ht plain southerners is nominally
eliminated from the market and such
classes have been difficult to sell at a
decline of 10(g)20 from early spring
quotations, The demand for heavy
trucking mules is more active at $150
@200 and Upward, according to age,

ket closes With a good clearance of all

A VIVID DESCRIPTION
EDWARD K. CARNES GIVES INTER
ESTING WORD PICTURE OF
RECENT QUAKE
Former Ottumwan Writes Hie Brother
in-Law, Edward J. Rosenauer—Tells
of Unfortunate San Francisco—Re
lates His Own Experiences.
A vivid description of the city of
San Francisco immediately after the
terrible horror which visited it recent
ly and the narration of his own indi
vidual experiences during the earth
quake are included in an interesting
letter received from Edward K. Carnes
by his brother-in-law, Edward J. Rosen
auer. Mr. Carnes, who is a brother of
W. A. Carnes, formerly resided in this
city, and his letter, which follows in
part, will be read with interest by his
many friends:
4
v"
The Letter.
"Just the evening before the terri
ble calamity befell our beautiful city,
I had written you a lengthy letter. In
it
Jr had enumerated the spots of inter
est and beality, together with its ad
vantages.
"The morning of the quake, which
occurred at 5:16 o'clock, we were in
our beds asleep. Being somefrhat used
to slight sesmic disturbances we did
not awaken at the very first warning,
which usually is a heavy distant rum
bling, but during the next forty-two
seconds I certainly lived years. Our
home was situated high on the hills ov
erlooking the bay district and the city
for many miles, and we were rudely
awakened by being tossed here and
there by the house rocking and out*
bed rolling out from the Wall only to
be tossed back again. All over the
house everything was flying loose. All
the vasefi, pictures, statuary, chairs,
tables and dishes were being violently
thrown down and the noise of hun
dreds of buildings falling, chimneys
crashing through the roofs combined
with the screams of people, the baying
of animals and the terrible whinny of
the stock, the crack and crash of
buildingB falling, the cry of the dying
and wounded were heard as we were be
ing toBsed from side to side trying fran
tically to reach the outside of the
house over a litter of broken dishes,
furniture and plaster.
"Let me impress upon you the fact
that one second of an earthquake
seems an hour. Now magnify this If
you can by forty-two seconds and take
my word for it, you Will live in that
short space of time, a seeming cen
tury of such torture that it is beyond
description or human comprehension,
except by experience, to have the
slightest realization of the horrors of
it. All this time I had Katie in ny
arms trying to reach the front door.
Immediately back of our room at the
end of*the hall I had my study situ
ated and in there I had 2,500 glass
vials filled with specimens on shelves
covering all four sides of the room, to
gether with my book case, secretary
and library.
"All of my vials were thrown down,
the book Case tossed across the room
iand every piece of furniture upside
down on top of that jumble of glass.
To pass through such an experience
and not be injured was indeed a mira
cle. All over the city the same thing
was in progress, and from apartment
houses sleeping occupants were dump
ed with beds and all among the plas
ter and brick, two, three and four stor
ies, out into the streets, by the falling
apart of the houses. ....
Death and Destruction.
"The occupants fell under and
amidst the debris, sometimes to have
their lives snapped out like a flash.
The streets were filled with people,
crawling in their night clothes oyer
piles of bricks and mortar, and run
ning here and there. Some of them
were insane, others with ghastly
wounds covering their bodies, their
fates Covered with blood, and every
where there were scenes 'of death, de
struction and panic.
Relatives In Danger.
"Your sister Sue and her husband
were in the third story of an apart
ment house and were confined in the
place one and one-half hours, as the
house had twisted so that they could
not get the doors open. A fellow came
up the dumb waiter and broke into
them that way and they got Out. The
place where they lived was swept with
Are and they got out only a very little
of their possessions. Merely what
they could carry in their hands and
on their backs.
Park a Blessing.
"Beautiful Golden Gate Park has
proven the greatest blessing to this
city, and every town and city in the
world should have an isolated park
Ivhere thousands of homeless people
would be safe in the event of some
great calamity like this,
I have been ab!e to see so far Is that
'high livers' will have a chance to
give their stomachs & rest and you
don't hear complaints from indiges
tion and no one says 'No thank you, I
never eat it, eto/ Everybody eats ev
erything with a mighty relish'I can as
sure you. I had a plate of corn tieef
hash mixed with potatoes and onions
and
beanB
and rice all In one skillet
that 1 made myself, and good, why it
beai anything I ever tasted. We all en
joye,d it immensely and while I can't
say
we
-ss
are getting fat, yet we are eat­
ing as often as possible, and feeling
good. jjf
Keep Prices Reasonable.

tions ion coining back into the city I

friends and come over each day. to
look after matters at the oflloe and
then we will be all O. K. The vlgl
lafltles (of which I am a member) have
succeeded in keeping prices at their
normal figure and the same thing
holds good across -the bay in the other
towns so that will be a fine thing.
The building trades have agreed to
keep prices the same as before and as
long as extortion does not start mat
ters will progress rapidly. In conclu
sion, as there seems to be none, 1
will say that as you read your papers
in the east remember that it cannot' be
pictured or painted in print by any
living mortal one-half as bad as it is
and no pen can ever describe the loq£
you see in every face you meet, the
misery that 1B ever before your eyea,
the vast waste of burned buildings,th 3
thousands of homeless SOUIB without a
penny in the World, with only the few
rags upon their backs and wives and
hungry children at their side. I tell
you could the world but see what is to
day- presented ih San Francisco, the
result of a moment's work, the fear cf
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe
would take new root in their hearts.
The city, that will spring up will not
be filled with the wickedness that was
in the old, for I an sorry to say th's
was certainly a wicked city, and the
wrath of heaven seema never to be
appeased,
"AVlll write you more later on and
will' try and get you some good pic
tures and souvenirs. r»
