THEORY CONCERNING
CONDUCTORS IS EXPLODED
BY RECENT AUDIT
The prevalent popular theory con
cerning •'•.he vast amount of money col
lected from passengers on railway
trains throughout the country which
finds its way into the pockets of the
conductors instead of the coffers of
the company, has suffered a severe
set-back in' the recent investigation
conducted by a New York auditing
company on the entire Burlington sys
tem. This company went to work sys
tematically to discover discrepancies
in the collection and remittance of
fares, followed cash fares paid and
employed subterfuge to uncover any
crookedness. According to the state
ment made by the railroad offlcialB, on
the eight thousand miles of road oper
ated .by the Burlington, there were
only five cases detected, three of them
being on the "K" line. In the entire
state of Illinois there was not uncov
ered a single case of dishonesty in the
Burlington's force of gold-buttoned
employes.

LARGE HORSE TRADE.
Many Eastern Operators Who Arrive
Late in Week Tone Market.
Chicago, Oct. 5.—Receipts for the
week promise to reach around 2,COO
offerings, with late arrivals represent
ing heavy classes of good quality.
Many new eastern buyers arrived lato
in the week and brisker competition
tones the market for heavy offerings.
Pennsylvania and Ohio operators are
executing liberal orders for feeders at
$160 @190 and upward. Northern and
eastern dealers are keener buyers of
heavy loggers at $160@200, With a few
choice drafters taken on personal or
ders at $210®215 and upward. The late
Inquiry in local account for prime
heavy drafters is broader than the ear
ly demand of the week, with choice ar
rivals clearing freely at tl70@215 and
upward. Cavalry mounts are in urgent
demand at $120@150, with all colors if
of suitable weight and quality accepted
except gray horses. The northwest de
mand for medium grade farm chunks
is of narrower volume and these
classes are dull at prices that leave no
margin to country shippers. The gen
eral market is more active at the fol
lowing unchanged prices:

Will sell $325,000 worth of Horses in

Canada land.
Low Rate Excursions Every Week.
$20,000 Worth of Horses
Last Friday.
$40,000 worth in the month of Sep
tember $83,000 since August 1 $287,
000 since January'1. Thus far in the
year we have paid out in cash for
horses and mules sold at our sales an
average of something over $1,000 per
day, for every day, including Sundays
and holidays. Our sale next week will
put us over the $300,000 mark. The
market is holding fairly steady and
probably will yet through the month
of October. You can get last spring's
prices for your horses, but, you can't
feed them from now till spfing ori $10
hay and 40c corn for the advance you
would get. At the present value of
feed it will cost an average, even on
the farm, of $6.00 per month to hold a
horse up in market flesh in town it
will cost you much more. So if you
have a horse worth $100 now you must
get at least $125 in March to do as well
to say nothing of the risk of sicknesp
and accidents from' now till then. The
October market is as good, on the av
erage business horse, as we can ex
pect between this and spring and bet
ter than it will be when the north
winds begin to blow.
Next sale October 3 2. At the noon
hour on that dftte we will sell colts
from weanlings up, brood mares, some
big western horses, and a few milch
cows. Time given on good paper.
We have a large attendance of farm
ers now and can get you a buyer for
the "odds and ends" you may wish to
sell. Bring them in next Friday the 12
