Receipts for the week ending to-day show
a total somewhat less than for the week pre-
ceding. the account indicated about amount
ing 10 about 5000 tons. in comparison with 4350
tons for the week preceding. The situation is
practically unchanged here. although the alb
sence Of strictly choice wheat hay is more
marked than at any time PREVIOUS this
season. There is plenty Of good hay coming,
hut for retail purposes we must have gllt-edse
wheat hay and choice quality red or black tame
cat. These two varieties viii probably be in
fair demand throughout the entire year. but
there is such an immense amount of other
grades that for the present at least there
seems to be a very discouraging future for
same
I'VE are continually hearing Of large lots OF
hay that are being housed in private store
houses and in many warehouse buildings where
the owners are not considering for a moment
marketing their hay under present prices II
does seem at present from the number Of new
barns erected that viii have a large sur
plus OF hay at the end Of the present season un-
less as We have expressed ourselves before,
some unexpected demand springs up"

Funston Avenges His Wounded Hors,

Colonel Funston sat on his horse,
watching his kansax boys fire at the
enemy at Caloocan, when an orderly came
UP with the commanding generals COM
pfments and an order TO stop firing.
'.Cease firing!" shouted the colonel
Only few of the nearest men heard
him and the firing kept on.
Cease flrng"' ordered the colonel
again. and this time the bugle gave forth
the peal and the firing, after scattering,
stopped altogether. Just then ball from
colonel's pony Quick as a flash Funston
whrled around. fire in his eyes.
Commence firing" he shouted at the
top of his voice. "Give 'em - at nine
hundred yards!'
1t took three or four rounds of ammuni-
tion all along the line to avenge that
horse, though the colonel still rides it.
