The report of the committee which
investigated the work done around No.
13 school is none too severe in con-
demning the execution of important
contracts without the knowledge or
approval of the board or building COM
mittee. In this instance, judging from
the investigating committees report
nobody in particular was to blame:
the $lO50 extra job, like Topsy, Just
grew. That is scant consolation to
the taxpayers, who have to foot the
bills. We are confident that they would
prefer TO have the responsibility fixed
and recorded, as they would if spend
ing large sums of trust money indi-
Nidually.

Strong and ACTIVE
Hog Market Was an Ideal
One Yesterday
WAS A SHADE HIGHER
Receipts Reached the Two
Thousand Mark.

There were 700 hogs at the Union
stock yards yesterday. They went to
buvers like hot cakes, and after o'clock
seven car loads were sold, weighed and
driven into the packers sheds in less
than twenty minutes. Such quick work
showed the real condition of the market,
which was strong, active and buoyant.
with the exception Of a few loads the
quality was what is described as com
mon sense" hogs; there were no extreme
~ heavy or extremely light hogs among
them. They were all nice, broad-back,
clean hogs htat would be considered and
quoted as fair in any market. The
wagon hogs were not numerous. The
trade feeling at the yards was good and
while the prices paid are not quoted
higher than those that prevailed Satur-
day, vet, as a matter of fact, they are
q shade higher, as can be seen by the
representative sales. There IS some In
dication that the market will materially
improve soon. It Is not improbable that
a 50-per cent increase in the receipts
will be made within thirty days. Some
old shippers are returning TO the yards,
after trying Kansas City and other mar
kets Cheskey & Funk Of Nickerson
were at the yards last night, after
long absence. The used to ship hogs
here in large quantities, but some time
ago they began going to Kansas City.
They are coming to Wichita again, and
they are welcome. They have learned
that Wichita Is. everything considered,
4 decidedly better market than Kansas
City for the shippers of western Kansas
and oklahoma. Day & Youmans, Of Al
ameda and Fritz & Bunch, Of Ponca
have also returned d big business to the
Union stock yards. On the whole, things
are coming the way of Wichita, and
q daily market of 900 hogs in the near
future IS not a violent prediction

RELAPSE N STOCKS
Hesitation and Apathy Char
acterize the Market.
FOREIGN MARKETS CLOSED
Speculation on Resumption of
Normal Gold Flow.

| New York, June 4-The stock market
relapsed again today into -eactionary
condition, showing the same apathy and
hesitation which characterized it for
some time previous to the slight FLIP
which gave an appearance OF some ami
nation and strength last week. There
were times today when stocks were Of
fered quite freely and in considerable
variety, and the entire absence Of de-
rnand MADE prices vulnerable 10 the ef-
forts by professional bears 70 get them
TO q lower Level. The actual news OF the
day offered little 10 account Tor the
weakness in the market. Probably the
correct explanation is the conviction. now
become general IN Wall Street that last
weeks buying was due TO the closing up
OF some extensive short accounts by one
or two operators on large scale While
that demand found very scanty offerings
of stocks it failed entirely to attract any
additional demand. Commission house
business continued at a very low ebb.
There was some speculation in Sugar
during the day, based on the dividend
prospects. The price was run up TO
1873, but later fell back below Saturdays
price, closing a shade of on the day.
The Whitsuntde holidays In London and
on the continent left the market without
any index of foreign conditions. Some
sentimental depression was caused, how
ever, by the delay IN the occupation OF
Pretoria, and by suggestions OF money
market difficulties in Berlin. The bears
prOfessed some uneasiness also over pos
sible complications in the far East. The
closing of the Illinois Steel company's
mills in South Chicago made the steel
IL,
day, but the tone of the group became
steadier in the late weakness OF the mar
ket:- The heavy loan expansion by the
banks disclosed by Saturdays bank
statement. bringing the loan item to the
largest figure in the history Of the clear
ing house, was unexplained by news OF
any special transaction. In this connec-
tion discussion was caused by the dis
patch from Berlin to the Associated
Press reporting a project by German f.
nanciers to Introduce the imperial per
cent bonds upon the American market,
owing to the great abundance of capital
in the United States. TIE treasury de-
partment's estimate OF the amount OF
money in circulation on June shows an
increase for the United States of $l41s2.-
4G2 for the month, In spite OF the gold
exports Of over $4,000, 90 and the taking
up IF the treasury surplus Of nearly S.
10000. The prospects OF an early re-
sumption Of gold receipts from the
Trarsvaal the expectation that ship
ments will soon be received from Cape
Nome and the Klondike and the high
rate Of production reported by American
mines arouses the discussion as to the
future effect on prices of this large sup
ply of money metal. The small broker
age failure announced during the day
was without effect on the market. Clos
ing prices were as follows:

METAL MARKET.

New York, June 4.-Speculation was
very slack in the market for metals to-
day. This was caused by the absence
of cable advices from London, that mar
ket being closed since last Friday. There
was a generally steady undertone, how
ever, in anticipation OF favorable re-
ports from abroad tomorrow. Tin in the
local market ruled quiet and nonlinaliy
quoted at $50. Pig iron warrants We're
weak and unsettled. Lead continued
dull and unchanged on the basis Of :. s71zs

We're mighty nice hogs, barring a few
stays and a sow. The fact that Mr.
Funk has been going to Kansas City
indicates that Wichita is a better mar
ket. He will do an increased business
with the stock yards.
Day & Yeomans of Alameda had two
good loads Of hogs on the market yester-
day. This firm finds no market better
than Wichita
L. w. Robinson of Towanda came over
yesterday and picked up Al nice stockers
at the yards. He expects to buy enough
additional to make two good loads,
which he will ship today. The stockers
weighed 4o7 pounds on All avera ge, and
were nice, triIn-looking cattle. Mr.. Rob-
inson has now 100 teams working on his
farm. He has under cultivation 1900
acres of corn and is putting In LOCO acres
Of alfalfa. He and his father have 10
600 acres in an, and are making a barrel
Of money by intelligent management.
They expect TO crib 10000 bushels of
corn the coming fall and winter. most
Of which, If not all, they will feed. Mr..
Robpson's father is one OF the best
done more TO have stock rates cheapened
than any other man, and whole lot

ne has done for the shippers
Elmer Rein was telling yesterday how
his famous brother Lester became
jockey He was. when a freckle-faeed
boy, in West Side butcher shop, and
being boy OF some life, used to ride
calves. Mr.. Moore, the butcher. picked
up race horse and got Lester to ride
him. From there he went to Sam
Throwbridge, of Sumner county, and
when Sam sold out to a St Louis man
he threw his little jockey in on a con-
tract Of $40 per month. Three years
afterward he was earning a salary Of
$4,000 year His income now does not
fall very far short Of $4,000 a year.
Riding calves was a lucky business for
him.
Ed Healy started out for Beaumont
Sunday to see his sheep, and met Bishop
Hennessey on the train. The latter was
going TO Winfield to confirm a class of
children Ed told the bishop where he
was going and the purpose of his trip.
The bishop limited to him that ii was
not proper thing for a good Catholic
to do on the Sabbath day. Well" said
Ed, THAT'S strange. Here's a bishop
going on Sunday TO look after his flock
and he blames me for going to look af-
ter mine" The bishop appreciated Eds
witty retort and laughed heartily at the
way he came back at him.
