KANSAS CITY. MO.
Wheat Shipments increasing Daily
Three Thousand Cars a Week.
Business OF All Kinds Active.
More Building Going On Than
Ever BefOre-A Severe Lesson
To Mashers-Webfoot Davis.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 14.-There
were 3, I23 cars, or two and one half
million bushels of wheat shipped into
Kansas City last week and shipments
are Increasing daily.
Business of all kinds is hourishing,
and every man that ts able and will
work has plenty to do. While the city
has q few iclers, the out OF work labor
ing man Is . very scarce article.
There is more building being done 1t
tn q present time than has ever been
witnessed in this city and IL Is not .
boom either, but . necessity for rapid.
ly growing business and increasing
population.
Police Judge MoCsuley in his en-
deavor to make Kansas City "a good
place to live" has placed premium
of $500 on "mAshiug." An old man
about SO years old, and proprietor OF
hotel was arrested and fined this
amouns a few days ago for trying to
"masn" and making himself generally
obnoxious to q couple of young ladies
on the street. This makes the second
man that has had to pay $500 for the
same offense within the past three
months.

of the repu blican campaign which duty
he had been selected to perform a. the
same time and place. before he dis
covered there were better prospect:
for his political am bition in the dem
