TlLFORO is JOKEO
Democrats Play Political Franks at
In:on stock Yards

| There was a sample of Democratic
treachery at the Union stockyards yester
day that ought to receive the condemna-
ton Of every citizen who don't believe
in getting the most of joke.
H. T. Tnford is livestock inspector at
the yards. He is one of those true-blue
Kentucky Republicans, who command
respect among all classes of people who
admire a man who at all times and
places posses the courage of his convic-
victions. The boys at the yards always
refer to this Kentucky Republican as
Dad Tilford-" That Is an endearing term
because he is considered to be the head
and the front Of the stockyards crowd
Dad Tilford reads the Bible and TIE
Wichita Eagle fact which accounts for
his correct religious and political prln-
ciples.
Mr.. Dick Parsons IS the man who COM
n1itted a dastsrdiy deed. When he got
up yesterday morning he went ont in the
yard and got his morning Eagle. He
took It into the house and cut out one
leaf and in its place put in leaf from
a Democratic campaign sheet. Il con-
tanned a nasty cartoon OF Mark Hanna
and President Mckinley. Then Mr.. Par
sons took the mutilated Eagle out on the
doorstep and laid a sample Of bzickbats
on it and left Il to dry Until he ate his
breakfast
When Dad Tilfora got 10 the stockysrds
he sat down on the long bench IN the
duck yards TO read the very latest news
from the world a. large. He got Up 70

Hog Receipts Were Good for
Thursday.
MARKET WAS STEADY
Lower Prices Predicted for
Today.

The receipts of hogs at the Union
stock yards yesterday were fairly IT'D

quoted the market III cents lower. but
the sales did not show il. There were
sales made at the top price Of the pre-
vious day and there were no better nogs
on yesterdays market than those that
sold for the top price on Wednesday,

MEMS WIS ujLLISH
But Offset by Lack of Outside
Interest.
NOVEMBER 1-4a3-8 LOWER
Coarse Grains and Provisions
All Lower.

Chicago, Oct 4.-Lack Of outside spec
ulation offset buliish news today and
wheat closed A@2sc lower for November
delivery. Corn closed 1sc and oats a
shade down. Provisions closed 1Oc to
TIC lower.
The wheat market was dull affair
throughout. Under the influence of an
advance at Liverpool and unfavorable
weather in the northwest, November
opened at rs to 7SAc. Local feeling in
clined TO the bear side, however, and as
the outside furnished nothing in the way
Of buying orders to counterfeit this the
early strength was lost. AT I74Q77Bc
the market steadied for a time because
the seaboard reported 10000 bushels Ia
ken for export, but the steadiness failed
to hold against the speculative dizziness
and a further decline to 773sc ensGed-
The close was steady, November 1zQ2sc
lower at TIC. Seaboard clearances in
wheat and -four were equal to $4,000
bushels. Primary receipts, with St Louis
and ansas City out, were $500 bus hels,
compared with 1,02S.q00 bushels at all
points last year. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported $3.50 cars, against 444 last
week and 791 year ago. Local receipts
were 20S cars, of contract grade. The
Ohio state report made the estimated
yield of that state 100000 bushels,
compared with the government estimate
of 100000 bushels.
Corn was quiet. The market started
firm IN sympathy with wheat. For
time trading was mostly in October,
which is now in the hands of one man.
Shorts bought early, but finding that
their leader was not supporting the mar
ket later dumped their purchases back
into the pit Favorable weather west
and the difficulty Of making shipping
sales caused a reaction from the top, but
the close was steady. November sold
between 37$4c and 371lc, and C osed 1sc

Oats were dull and featureless, influ-
entail people staying out of the pit save
in a small way. November sold between
