FOREIGN CATTLE MARKET.


Oficial Figures of Last Years Exports
Show There Was an Active Demand.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 17.-The Off
cial figures of the foreign exports of
cattle and sheep and dressed beef for
the year 1895 are at hand They show
the year to have been very active one
with our cattle and beef exporters, but
there was marked loss in the number
of sheep sent abroad, much of the sheep
trade being lost to South America,
which now leads all other countries in
supplying the United Kingdom with
sheep and mutton, the United States
ranking second. Exports were; Cattle,
S9S, l0S head; sheep, 266, 76O, and dressed
beef, 2.O74,644 cwt. These figures
show gain Of ll6,77O cattle and 1885,
III per cwt. of dressed beef, but a
falling off of 1856, 400 head of sheep as
compared with 1895. As these cattle
represent the best qualities, the i'm
portance of this trade to the western
cattle and sheep interest cannot be
over estimated. But for it, choice
heavy native steers that are now sell
ing on this market at S4.75 to S4.S5 per
cwt. to the export trade, would not
bring 81 per cwt within reach of
these figures.

When the house met yesterday
several republican members attempted

DUESTROW HANGED.
The Murderer Expiatee His Crime
Upon the SoaRold.
he DIED As Gen. BRAyDEyBURC. "
For . Brief Interval the Man Seemed "a
Realize His End and solybed Like
Child, but Soon Regained His
Apparent insanity.

UNION, Mo-, Feb. l7.-On a scaffold
erected in the Franklin county Jail
yard in this village, under clear and
sunny sky, surrounded by about 100
persons, the majority being physicians,
newspaper men or deputy sheriffs,
Arthur Duestrow, of st. Louis, was
legally hanged yesterday at one o'clock
for the murder of his wife and little
son in that city three years ago. The
condemned man who has simulated in
sanity since the day of the crime kept
up his role until late Monday evening
when, by his questions and answers, it
was evident that he keenly realized
that the end was near and that his
own efforts and those of his attorneys,
aided by an abundance of wealth,
were without avail in the battle for
life.
A few hours before the execution
took place, Duestrow threw off the
mask of insanity, sobbed like woman
and admitted that he killed his wife
and child. The condemned man, how
ever, soon regained his composure. He
walked to the gallows without a
tremor and mounted the steps of his
doom without shade of fear passing
over his face. He died as Gen. Bran
denburg," quietly and bravely, bidding
farewell to the man who had fought
to save his life.
Arthur Duestrow shot and killed his
wife and only child, boy aged is
months, at four o'clock on the after
noon of February 10, 1894. For some
time the millionaire medical student
had lapsed from duty to his young wife
and was spending much time and
money upon an inmate Of bawdy
house. On the day OF the tragedy he
spent several hours at the house Of his
mistress in drinking, and from there
went direct to his home, 1874 South
Compton avenue, His wife accused
him Of being drunk and he fired two
shots into her body. For a mo-
nent he seemed to realize the enor-
nifty of his crime. He kneeled beside
the dying woman and in maudlin tones
said: "Tina, Tina, are you dead'" Re-
ceiving no reply his drunken frenzy
returned. He grasped his child, who
had been spectator Of the murder,
held the shrieking baby by one arm to
the wall and fred shot into his brain.
With the smoking pistol in his hand
he ran into the street and surrendered
to policeman who had been attracted
by the shooting. The servant girl,
who had fed to the top Of the house,
was witness to the scene and 1t was
her testimony that convicted Duestrow.

Kansas Senate Committee Has Completed

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1S,-The senate
committee on railroads has completed
a schedule for maximum rate bill.
The committee made some changes
from the figures agreed upon last
night. The schedule as it now stands
makes general reduction in the rates
on coal of 90 per cent; in rates on live
stock of 10 per cent, and the rates on
grain and merchandise of ten per cent.
The committee was unable to come to
an understanding with the railroad
companies, and it is doubtful If COM
promise can now be effected. The

rates adopted by the committee be put
into the law, they will then commence
suit to prevent them from going in to
effect.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Supreme Council In Session In Washington
A MISUNDERSTANDING Scheme.

Supreme Council in Session In Washington
A Mortgage Paying Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-The annual
meeting Of the supreme council Of the
National Farmers Alliance opened
here yesterday. The council is the
governing body Of the alliance and
representatives from over q score Of
states gathered to talk over the affairs
Of the greater organization and
the interests of the agricultural
classes. The report OF President
Page recited that the past year
had been one Of intense po-
litical excitement, which so preoccu-
pied the people that, while there were
no political dissensions within the Or
der, very little consideration was given
to the upbuilding Of the alliance and
bringing into this great fold Of agri-
culturists those who, by their labor,
produce all the intrinsic worth of our
country" The report Of the secretary
treasurer says mortgage-paving fea-
ture should be started during this year,
to redeem every home in the member
ship in 20 years, by simply paying eight
per cent. interest for about IS years.
This, it is stated, will reinb all ex-
penses, and leave IS per cent more in
the treasury than has been drawn out.
