Cattle Steady With a Fair
Line of offerings,

Yesterday was another good day on the
Wichita live stock market. Both hogs
and cattle showed up in very fair proper
lions and the keen demand and higher
tone of the market actuated promp bid
ding and sales. The market was to 10
cents higher, and this quotation was bet
ter than the early morning reports from
other points. 1t was a good day all
around and trades were made easily and
~ steady advance over the closing quo
"a lions of the day before. The buyers
z;1cere in the field all day for hogs and
the grade did not cut so much figure
as would be expected on a rising mar
ket Dold took most of the better class
of hogs, and a top II cents higher was
placed over the day before The TOD
price of the day was $3.35 and six cars
sold at once at this figure. The first car
to cross the scales was one that had ar
rived late the night before and sold on
the opening at top prices, and was among
the heavy ones Of the days supply. Fol
owing this were scattering punches of
wagon stuff in small lots and of varying
quality, but all selling at the best they
could command Later in the day the
hOld-overs and the fresh receipts COM
menced to move, and the activity of the
market was asserted. The top figures
ruled all through the balance Of the trad
ing, intermingled with other sales at vari-
Gus prices, according to grade. The av-
erage weight was again good, being
pounds better than the weight for Tues
day, which was also heavy. The receipts
were fairly liberal, but in spite of this
fact the market was ct all times strong
and hogs sold on the upward tendency.
It was another day of narrow bulk
range, ~ cents taking IN all the car
offerings and some few local stock AS
for the average quality, It was only fair
with nothing at all choice offered. There
were mixed loads of some very good hogs
running with lights or coarse heavies,
but the general average may be said to
be only fair At the close all of the most
desirable hogs which came in early
enough were sold and also several Of
the loads which arrived late the night
before. Most of the shippers sold out
their hogs at very satisfactory prices.
and the business done was prompt and
active.

to the Maybrick and Dreyfus cases as in
stances of the suffering Of innocent peo-
pie because of public opinion
Mr.. Knight denounced Mr.. Bishop, the
Dover physician who attended the poison
ed women, and was most bitter in his
condemnation Of the methods OF the San
Francisco police.
Mr. Dunning, the husband Of one Of the
murdered women, also came in for III
eral share Of the attorneys vitrfolic sen
fences. Particular attention was called
20 the fact that Mrs BOtkin, the alleged
author OF anonymous letters that were
mailed in San Francisco in June, was in
Eureka, Cali, all Of that month and could
not have possibly mailed the letters here.
Mrs Grace Harris. who identified Mrs-
Botkin as the woman who purchased the
handkerchief which was found III the box
Of poisoned candy, was denounced as an
untruphful and dissolute woman. The tes-
ti1nony of the candy girls who identified
Mrs Botkin as the woman who purchas-
ed the candy. was also vigorously at
tackled by the lawyer.
In speaking about the alleged purchase
of arsenic by Mrs. BOtl1n on June l,
knight sought 20 show the inprooability
Of her keeping the poison until July 81.
when she purchased the candy. he did
not however. directly deny the purchase
OF arsenic Writing Expert AInes, VINO

that Mrs. Botldn was the author OF the
ANONYMOUS letters and also addressed
the wrapper on the candy, was denounced
as coming here and testifying for the
prosecution because he was paid to tes-
tfy that way.
Mr. knight laid great stress upon the
fact that the arsenic found in the candy
Was in lump form, whereas Druggi 5;
Grey testified that Mrs. Botkin pur-
chased powdered arsenic. He also said
there was no legal proof that Mrs. Dun
ming had died Of arsenical poisoning. An
autopsy. he said. was necessary TO prove
the cause Of death in any poisoning case.
Mr.. Knight contended that the prosecu-
ton had failed 10 show motive on MIS-.
Botkin's part for the commission or the
crime. 1t had been shown during the
trial that Mrs Botkin had persistently
refused to allow her husband 10 procure
a divorce. and this showed that she had
no desire to marry Mr.. Dunning.
Mr.. knight closed with brilliant pc
rcration. in which ne described Mrs. Bot
kin as an innocent, prosecuted woman,

the horrible suspicion that had rested up
on her through the Vaccinations or the

WAR BULLETINS.

New York: A leading cab
met minister says the European
powers have agreed that Spain
should sue for peace.
Washington: 1t is stated here
that no peace proposition will
be considered unless it comes
direct from the Spanish minist-
er of foreign affairs.
Memphis: Yesterday after
noon a regiment of Rough
Riders reached this place via
Kansas City M. & B. Ry. The
first section had stopped to take
wateriand had whistled to start,
when the second section round;
ed the curve In the track Just
before the town is reached and
dashed into it. Four soldiers
lost their lives and others re-
ceived fatal injuries. The chief
fatalities occurred in a coach
which stood in the center of the
first section which carried
troop G from Wyoming. This
coach was completely telescop-
ed and the soldiers within were
jammed and buried beneath
masses of timbers. The wound
ed we're removed to a vacant
building in the town.
Washington: Officials be-
lieve that the real crisis of the
war Is near at hand.
Washington: Commodore
Watson sails today in the New
ark to join Sampson, when he
will take under his command
an armored squadron with cruis-
ers and proceed at once to the
Spanish coast.

has created the greatest excite
ment about the navy depart
ment of any order issued since
the war began. 1t is taken as
evidence of a determined effort
to close the war. There are
some who express the opinion
that it may be a bold move TO
eall Germany at once, because
of the talk of compelling us to
keep the war out of European
waters.
New York Journal dispatch
from Juragua: Our army is
now within a little over an
hours march of the gate of
Santiago. Gen. Chaffee leads
the brigade in front and with
it has occupied Sevilla, where
Gen. Linares declared he was
going to make a stand and
drive the Americans back. In
stead of making a stand. or so
much as firing a shot. he with
drew his forces and is now ac-
tually entrenched in the outer
line of the defenses of the city.
New York: The war tax be-
comes operative on the first OF
July and is likely to restrict
operations in Wall Street for a
little while after that. People
will become accustomed to the
new measure and business will
continue the same as if it never
had occurred.
