Cattle.
Trading has been limited on this di
vision. Demand was stronger than for
some time past, and salesmen had no
difficulty in clearing their pens.
The unusually light receipts on all
classes of cattle received on every uve
stock market in the country in the
last few weeks is believed to have been
largely responsible for the recent gain
in values. ' The' threatened packing
house strikes are not believed to have
ffected. to any great extent, the
stronger feeling noted during the last
few weeks.

with best stockers from $7 to $7.50.

offering generally found an outlet be

BOMBARDMENT
FIRING SURPASSES ALL PRE
VIOUS EFFORTS IN ITS
INTENSITY.
PETROGRAD ATTACKED
KRONSTADT DEMANDS IMMEDI
ATE SURRENDER OF KRAS
NOYA GORKA.
(Western Nenpiper Union Newt Seniee.)
Stockholm, March 12. The fight for
Petrograd has again flamed up, Kron
stadt's bombardment has recom
menced. In Intensity the firing sus
passed all previous efforts. At Ter-
iokl, on the RUsso-Finnlsh border, and
other Finnish places, tlie ground wa
shaken and windows were broken.
The Dagens Nyheter reports that
Kronstadt, by nrenns of signals, de
manded 'the Immediate surrender of
Krasnoya Gorka, on pain of complete
annihilation. Krasnoya Gorka made
only feeble reply to the heavy fire
from the battleships Sebastopol and
Petropavlovsk.
Telegrams received by the Nya Dag
light Allehanda say that Oranienbaum,
on the southern shore of the Gulf of
Finland, is partly in ruins and that
fires are raging there. The artillery
fire against the town was very fierce.
The dispatch says the open discus
sion of the situatipn by the Petrograd
newspapers proves that M. Zinovieff,
the Bolshevist governor of Petrograd,
now fears to exercise terrorism, as
was formerly done.
London. The Central News Hel
singfors ' correspondent says that ac
cording to a refugee from Petrograd,
the town of Tver, ninety miles north
west of Moscow, has fallen into the
hands of the revolutionaries through
the soviet troops having been with
drawn to Petrograd.
Russia today is in the beginning ol
phases of upheavals which will have
essentially the same result as the me
morable occurrence of March 12, 1917,
said Alexander Kerensky, Russia's
former "man of destiny."
"The fundamental causes of the out
breaks in Russia," Kerensky declared,
"are the same as those which brought
about the first revolution just four
years ago, and the outcome inevitably
will be the same the overthrow of
the dictatorship."
"The soviet claims that the present
risings are due to an allied intrigue
are entirely unfounded. Allied aid to
the anti-soviet forces ended with the
collapse of General' Wrangel. The
success of the present movement .de
pends largely on noninterference from
the outside world.' Russia must be
left alone."
Race Riot in Springfield.
Springfield, -Ohio. Race disorders
have broken out here following the
shooting of a policeman by a negro
who was being searched for firearms.
Large crowds were milling about the

fourteen negroes were shot during the
battle.
Eight Hundred Drown in Red Drive.
Riga. Bolshevist forces attempted
to reach Kronstadt from Sestroretak
across the ice, but were repulsed, ac
cording to 'Moscow advices. Shrapnel
broke the ice, and it is reported 800
of the Bolshevists were drowned.
Many wounded have been brought to
Kronstadt.
Flip of Coin Decide Race.
Jiew Orleans. The flip' of & coin in
the civil District Court here decided
that E. A. Allegeyer, son of a promi
nent Louisiana cotton man, should be
allowed to file his petition for divorce
before that of his wife. Lawyers rep
resenting Mr. Allegeyer and Mrs. Alle
geyer staged a race for the office of
the clerk of the court that resulted in
an even break. Both attorneys claimed
to be first. Selecting a 5-cent piece
the judge flipped it, covered it with
his hand, and asked the attorneys to
choose heads or tails. The husband's
attorney won.
Night Riders 'in Jail.
Scottsboro, Ala. Nearly fifty pris
oners, of whom thirty-four are alleged
members of the Tenants' union, are in
Jackson county jail facing charges In
connection with recent night riding
depredations. In some communities
residents are said to be panic-stricken
The night riding developed because of
dissatisfaction with the existing scale
for division of crops between landlords
and tenants.
Millions "Returned to Taxpayers.
Washington. Two or three hundred
million dollars will be returned to tax
payers as the result of concessions
made by the federal government in im
portant tax suits. The taxes in dis
pute arose under the section of the
1816 income tax law, which place a
levy on the profif derived from capi
tal assets stocks, bonds and other se
curities and provided that this tax

haven't been sick enough to be in bed,
but I was far from being a well
woman. At times I thought I had
kidney trouble, for I suffered almost
constantly from severe pains across
my back. Just over the kidneys. When
ever I tried to do any housework at
all that dull pain would be there, and
if I attempted to stoop over it just
felt as though my back would break.
I would get so weak and worn out
I would have to sit. down and rest
several times a day, and I felt tired
all the time.
"This condition made me awfully
nervous, so that I .rarely ever slept
well at night, and every now and
then I would jump'in my sleep, as If
in a fright, and my condition was
really becoming serious.
"Only two bottles of Tanlac have
brought about a wonderful change In
my condition. In fact, the results I
have received from this medicine have
really surprised me. Those terrible

LOOKED LIKE PROMISED MAN
Victim of Carelessness Came Back
With Pointed Remark Concerning
Companion's .'"-mediate Future.
Two negroes were forking in a
coal bin in a Mississippi town, one
down in the bin throwing out the coal
and the other wielding a shovel. The
one inside picked up a large lump and
heaved It carelessly into the air, struck
the other a resounding blow on the
head.
As soon as the victim had recovered
from his momentary daze he walked
over to the edge of the bin and, peer
ing down at his mate, said:
"Nigger, how come you don't watch
where you throws dat -coal? You done
hit me smack on the hald."
The other looked surprised.
"Did I hit you, nigger?" -
"You sho' did," came the answer.

"Uncle Jim, how does it happen that
you are so opposed to matrimony?"
The old fellow looked up with a grave
face, but there was a twinkle In his
eye, as he replied: "Me suhl I ain't

"Well, why is it you have never
married?" his inquisitor continued.
"Haven't you seen anyone you liked?"
