Last Saturday Mr.. H. E. Rog-
erSon, well known as one of the
most enterprising, whole souled
and generous hearted gentlemen
that ever lived in this country,
gave a magnificent dinner at the
Rogerson Hotel to many of his
friends. 1t was the pleasure Of
the publisher to enjoy the feast,
(the editor being absent. The
meal was properly cooked and
nicely served and it was a feast
for a large number of people.
Uncle Frank Lester and the
publisher of The Slayer after
eating a full shareof fruits, veg
etables and turkey, turned their
attention to large coa.coa nut
cake about l. inches across and
five inches thick, aud when they
were ready to leave the table
there was less than half of it
left. OF course, Uncle Frank
says the publisher ate it, and
promises to have a special cake
baking for the purpose of filling
him up, but we will leave it to
the public ITO decide whether

Kansas City Stock Report.
Kansas City Stock Yards
November II, 1901

November IL, 1901
Cattle receipts during the past week
have been only moderate and with
the exception OF stoockers and com
mon feeders all kinds OF cattle have
been in active demand. There was
a noticeable falling of IN the receipts
Of Gull lots of range cows during the
past week and all grades OF cows
were wanted at prices that ranged
from steady to 20 cents higher as
compared with the prevailing values
of the week before. The highest ad
vance secured was on stock cows
and hiefers the best heifer calves hav-
ing sold at all the way from 40 up
to $50. The best offerings OF feeders
sold up to 4.40 and all good lots
We're readily disposed OF at satisfac-
tory prices, but there was little de
mand for the commoner grades and
local dealers accumulated some hold
ings that they were Obliged to carry
over the end OF the week.
Corn fed cattle and desirable grass
beeves sold well although the former
showed n weaker tendency towards
the close of the week. The top price
for the week was reached on Tues
day when lot Of 1371lb natives
brought 500, and while there are no
toppy grassers offered, competent
statesmen quoted them as worth 800.
The first fed steers OF the winter
were received in the Southern yards
and consisted OF four loads Of the A.
&. Pannill cattle from kaufman, Tex
as, 2 loads OF which averaged 99llbs
and sold at at 4.50 and 2 loads 1864
lbs that realized 1865. Range cattle
were well received and sold generally
at 300 to 400 and 80 to 60 cents high
er than at the low time in October.
The poorest of the Southern cows
sold at LIS to 2.25 and fair to good
lots at 2.40 to 800
There was little change in the hog
market during the week and the
closing prices We're about like those
of the previous week. The consensus
of opinion is that there will be little
II any greater reduction in hog val
ues for some time to come and that
there need be no fear OF not receiving
remunerative prices for hogs fed on
high priced grain. The best heavy
hogs sell at 800 to 600; mixed and
medium weights at $40 to5.9O: lights
at 5.25 to $50 and desireable pigs at

NO OBJECT IN VOTING.

IN estimating the stay-at-home vote,
we hear all about the very light vote to
be cast by republicans this year but few
stattsticians seem to take into account
the percentage OF democratic voters
who will neglect to exercise the right
OF suffrage this year. When one stops
to consider the situation he wonders
what there is to induce the democrat
70 vote this year. The most OF the DEM
ocrats IN Iowa are disgusted with the
narfy,e action at Des Moines and act
ualiy ashamed Of their candidate. There
Il certainly little inducement offered for
them to vote. Those democrats who can
overlook the mistakes of their party
realize that their ticket has not the
slightest chance for success and there is
little use for them to vote. In fact the
only democrat that has any interest in
the campaign this fall is the democrat
who has had enough of populism and
ancompetency and is going to vote for
"A. B. Cummins because he likes Cum
minis. This man will vote early and feel
all the better for it. Cummins is the
kind of q man he admires for he is hon
est. fearless and independent.
In view of this condition Iowa may ex-
pect to see the slightest democratic vote
that has ever been cast. However, the
republicans who are always busy Will
feel little need of casting of their ball
lots and the pluralities they might have
for their candidates will not be realized
In many localities there Is likelihood of
their representation in the next state
convention being greatly reduced. Polk
county is making a terrible stir which is
expected to give 1t at least seventy five
delegates in the next state convention.
II the same interest could be aroused in
other counties it would be well but ev-
eryone expects very light vote.

DEMOCRACY AND NEGRO EQUALITY.

Here's something rich. 1t gives the
record of the democratic party as to ne
gro equality. Not the new democratic
that has been chasing after
every ism in the hope of success, but the
old democracy. A writer In the New
York Sun says: II have been considera-
bIy amused by reading the comments OF
several of the leading newspapers in the
south relative to the president inviting
Booker T. Washington to dine with him.
Below is copy of a short catechism on

ln-Favor of Married Teaeher.

AT asst a legal check has been set to
the practice, common in many cities, of
disch,lrging from the school service any
women teacher who Is fortunate or un-
fortunate enough to get married. In
San Francisco the city attorney has told
the board of education that the mar
riage of teacher is not matter of
school department business. The board
may make rules tending to bring the
department under good discipline and
system, but rule forfeiting teachers
position upon her marriage is not a
valid one, the attorney says. Moreover.
the law prescribes the conditions upon
which one may secure teachers GER
tificate, and the board can not add to
the conditions. This opinion is support
ed By the ruling of the judge of a San
Francisco court in quit of a teacher to
retain her position. He held that In
San Francisco marrying teachers may
hold their positions to the end of the
contract
