A BUSINESS REPORT.
Live Stock and Grain Market-A Slight Decrease
but Doing Well

The live stock receipts at the stock yards
shows a slight decrease from last week.
The cattle business has been fully as good
if not better than the preceding week and
the market has ruled steady and even
active.
The hog market has been rather lively,
although the prices were little off for
few days The market closed this last
week as high and firm as that of the pre-
ceeding week. 1t has ranged from g. O5 to
s425 on good prckers. The supply of hogs
at the yards during the past week consist
ed of better grade. on an average, than
last weeks The farmers have awakened
to the fact that it does not pay to market
poor and half fatted stock and
there is less of that kind on the
market, consequently there is not such a
wide range of figures in the prices Good
packers are always in demand while COM
mon and poor stuff is not wanted at any
price. Good stock of any kind always
means good prices, but poor stock means
very poor prices
The millers and grain buyers report
fair supply of grain on the market. There
is some decrease in the supply of this
week, compared with last, but that is
principally attributed to the busy season
when all the farmers are putting in their
wheat and looking after their respective
fairs.
Prospects are very fattering for a large
acreage of wheat next year as the recent
rains have put the ground in a splendid
condition for sowing and there is more
wheat being sowed this year than last
The hay and corn crop is far beyond the
earlier expectations of the farmers. They
have great deal of old corn on hands yet
and this years crop is so much better than
they once anticipated so there will be
enough, and even more than enough, to
run them through the coming winter
There is being large amount of good
fodder cut this year which shows that the
farmers and stock raisers intend to feed
large amount of stock the coming season.
Good corn has been selling this week
from "a to 81 cents per bushel, while oats
are almost as high and in constant de-
mand. WIchita's grain and live stock
market has very fattering prospects for
the coming year, with all the rich south
west tributary

premiums is something so entirely
out of the ordinary run of fairs, that it is
hard matter for our farmer friends
to tell which competition they
will enter. The list is being in
creased daily, and the books will not be
closed to them until the last day in the
evening. 1t would be impossible to tell of
the many wonderful things which may be
seen, and it should be sufficient to say that
visit to this fair will never be regretted.
Make up your minds to go every day if
possible, and if you can not go every day
go as often as you can.
THE FINE STOCK EXHIBIT.
Owing to the great number of pure bred
Clydesdale, Percheron and other English
and French horses in the state, the associa-
ton have decided to add another division
for each in Class A, making the amount
of premiums in the new divisions the same
as provided in the premium lis. The
horse display promises to be very fine.
The display OF hogs at the State fair was
very fine, but it is thought by many, who
should know what the requisites are, that
the number of points scored by the highest
scoring hog at Topeka last week, will be
easily discounted.

cock of Sumner, an old settler and well
known 70 this community, spent the day
in Wichita yesterday with the last named
gentleman. Mr. II. in a call said he had
been spending some time in the east and
in the Canadas and was now on his way
home. In talking Of the hard times in the
west and the money stringency Of the east
Mr.. II. said after several visits TO Kansas
and years OF life on the Pacific coast, he
would acknowledge that he could see no
reason why a business man or farmer
should give up Kansas for the Pacific
coast. He sees more energy, more thrift
and more prosperity on a whole in Kansas
than il any section Of the west

bred horses in the land will be here, and
that every race will be a horse race from
start to finish is a certainty.
1t is pleasant for the officers of the asso-
| citation TO know that their efforts have
caused our own Wichita to be talked
! about in manner as never before, and
that they have left no stone unturned to
make a success of this enterprise. Many
of our citizens have been lending a helping
hand The merchants have done very
much towards making the outcome a sue
cess, and now, in the last week, when it is
so essential to hurry matter, it is to be
hoped that if necessary, some sacrifices
may be made. There must be nothing incom
plete. Strangers will be here from abroad,
and will, to a very great extent, measure
the enterprise of our people by what they
see and hear The several state OrganiZa-
tions have completed their arrangements,
and will, no doubt, prove very interest
ing feature of the fair. During the past
week arrangements were perfected to have
the Second regiment X. n. g. and the
Wichita Battery go into camp during the
week upon the grounds. The camp will
be located in front of the grand-stand upon
the in-field, and will be so arranged as not
to obstruct the view of the races. Every
day some interesting feature of the camp
will be presented, and on Saturday the
fair will be wound up with a sham battle.
This, of itself, should be very entertaining.
Many of our citizens have known what it
meant to stand in front of the powder and
ball of a real enemy, but very many of the
rising generation have never had an
opportunity to witness anything that
would give them the slightest idea of war,

fortunate in securing Mrs. Coen to
sing for them. Mr.. J. II. Purdy was pre-
vented from putting in an appearance at
this church at one or two other similar
entertainments recently, on account of
sickness, causing no little disappointment,
but he says nothing but sickness will pre-
vent him from being on hand on Wednes-
day evening Many will want to hear this
fine elocutionist once more. Many will
also want to hear Miss Mabel Moore, per-
haps for the last time before she leaves for
Denver. This promising and accomplished
young elocutionist is great favorite with
the people, as is also Miss May McCul-
Tough, who has few equals in her comic
specialties. The door will open at o'clock
and the exercises will begin at sharp.

promises to be the greatest fair and agri-
cultural exhibition and race meeting ever

THE UNITED STATES COURT WORK.
Little to Do With Murder Cases and Twenty
Eight for the Next Term-A Docket OF
-Four Hundred Cases for March Term.

Judge c. G.. Foster left on the noon
Santa Fe train yesterday for Topeka, the
term of court having been announced as
ended at 9 O'Clock a. m. yesterday. He
was accompanied by District Attorney J.
w Ady, of Newton, and the assistant, p.
L. Lopez, of Topeka. During the term a
number of larceny cases were tried and
only two murder cases. in one of the muir
der cases the instructions of the court to
the jury were quite conclusive that the
court was of the opinion that the man on
trial was guilty, at least, of manslaughter.
The jury was out but few minutes and
returned with the surprising verdict, mot
guilty" 1t was recalled that the jury had
been drawn by an assistant clerk who had
selected a certain class of fellows, who, in
their strong desire TO propagate the idea of
personal freedom" might go so far as even
give personal liberty to a criminal who did
not deserve such favor. The murder
trials were few.
The indictments returned for murder are
as follows:
Kenneth Campbell, charged with the
murder of James Right.
Jake Pecora. charged with killing Jake
Cline
J.E Adams charged with the murder
Of Captain w. l.. Couch.
Glide Maddox, charged with the murder
of John Miller.
j. E. Stanley, c. W. Bears. j. R. Jacobs,
F. r. Thomas and A. L. Jacobs, charged
with the murder of Frank Brady.
w. J. Wood, manslaughter, for the
murder of w. H H. Schuch.
7 n
Belden, charged with the murder of Chas.
Grant.
Another indictment for murder was re-
turned but the arrest has not been made.
The murder cases continued together
with the indictments returned make TWEEN
ty-eight murder cases for the March term
of court. The first district grand
jury found all the murder in
ictments and others amounting
to one hundred and eighty while
the Second district grand jury dealing
with Kansas reported seventeen indict-
ments, most of them of scarcely a serious
nature For the March term there are in all
about four hundred cases, which IS the
largest docket ever found in this district
Eleven of those sentenced to terms in

Tuesday will be the first day of the reg
ular program, and as its title designates,
will be devoted more particularly to
breeders" That is, they should be on
hand in sufficient numbers to witness the
display of their own neighbours stock. The
other departments will all be open and the
fair will have begun in earnest.
Wednesday will be Alliance Day." and
the arrangements made tor that day will
be of character to please all classes of the
Alliance membership. This, it is expected,
will be one of the biggest" days of the
meeting.
Thursday will be "Wichita Day." and
every business house in the city should be
closed, and every man, woman and child
should be at the fair The mayor will
probably issue a proclamation, asking the
merchants and others TO close their places
of business and all hands join IN showing
what kind Of crowd Wichita can turn
out. This will also be a big day, and on
this day Ashland Wilkes" will be on
hand TO show his many admirers and
friends that they have great representa-
tive in this grand son of Red Wilkes"
Friday will be "Children's Day" The
association have thrown open the gates to
any child attending the public schools
under lG years of age, and this will be a
big day. 1t might be well to close bust
ness on Friday afternoon, in order that ali
the parents may have an opportunity 10
go with and care for their little ones. The
secretary says let all the children come;
the more the better, but suggests that it
