CATTLE-Butcher cattle are now sell
ing about 20 cents under last weeks clos
ing prices. A 10 cent drop on Tuesday
was followed with steady market on
Wednesday and Thursday, but prices de-
clined an additional 10 cents today. This
drop applies more particularly to the COM
mon and medium grades of cattle, about
the only kinds that we have had on sale
this week, and it is probable that choice
cattle would sell for as much now as at
any time last week. Veals are Is cents
to so cents lower than last week. In the
stock and feeding division the better
grade stuff has been moving out readily
at about steady prices. while the COM
mon and tail end stuff has been selling
a little lower than last week. There has
been a fair movement of all kinds and
the yards are well cleaned up. Mich
cows have been selling at steady prices.

do.
He blames the sheriff. lie declares
Sheriff E~verhardy could have prevent
ed the l%ynching had he desired to do
SO, as the state militia was at his com.
mand, and they would have been sent
but the sheriff declared they were not
needed.
The warden at the pc nitentiary had
no right to keep Alexander there, rs
he had been convicted of no crime
said the governor, lie could do moth.
ing else than deliver him to the sheriff
when that individual insisted that il
should be done. hut the life of the
negro should have been preserved at
all hazards and IL Is To the lasting
shame OF the great state of Kansas
that such an infamous proceeding
should have been allowed to take place
within u few miles of the capital city.

$500 for the apprehension of anyone

College football, during the season
recently closed had no worthier repre-
sentatives than the students Of the
Carlisle Indian School. in the essen
tials Of manliness and sportsmanlike
conduct generally. The games in which
they engaged were as many and an
fiercely contested as those Of any other
college team, and the spectators, in
some instances, were neither so con-
siderate nor SO sympathetic AZ they
might have been. Yet their games
were exhibitions OF clean. straight foot
ball-such as all true lovers Of the
sport like to see. The umpire's de-
cisions were v once Questioned.
and their defeats were accepted with
the spirit of men who had done their
best, and who had therefore, neither
excuses nor explanations to offer.
They have won . place for themselves
In the regard q many who would re-
joice In their success in other fields
where the rewards ars less fiecting

patch says: Fred Alexander, the ne
gro who Saturday evening attempted
to assault Miss Roth, and who was
supposed to have assaulted aud killed
Pearl Forbes in tins city in November
last, was this afternoon taken from
the sheriff and burned at the stake at
the scene Of his crime, half a dozen
blocks from the center Of the city.
Probably 5000 people witnessed the
lynching.
Alexander was brought to the city
from the penltentiary AT Lansing at
4:4o o'clock this afternoon and placed
In the county Jail. The citizens gath
cred in great numbers and finding
p~caceable entrance to the Jail impossi-
BILE, armed themselves with railroad
irons. The jail doors were battered
down and Alexander dragged to the
scene of his crime. followed by hun
dreds Of bowling, frcnzied men and
boys.
h spot chosen for the stake was
the exact one On which Pearl
Forbes body was found on the morn
ing Of November z. Ii Is ON Lawrence
avenue near the Santa Fee track. and "a
hundred yards north Of Spruce street.
b first thing done was TO plant the
railroad iron upright in the mud. This
was made fast To cross irons firmly
bound To the upright. Around the i'm
provised stake wood and boards were
piled. To this the man was dragged
and chained in n standing position to
the upright railroad iron. Chains and
irons were wrapped about him. and
with hands still shackled he was made
fast to the post. Coal oil was then
poured over him.
Before the match was applied John
Forbes. the father of the murdered
girl, stepped up to Alexander and
said:
Are you guilty Of numbering my
daughter?f
II don't know what you have me
here for said the doomed man.
Forbes replied: ''For killing my girl
on this very spot"
"Mr. Forbes, il that's your name. YOU
have the wrong man."
Burn him, burn him." cried the
crowd.
And they burned him.

Ohio and Indiana. but It's growth is
healthy In the states farther west. II
is evident that the old states nus look

Uaited states supreme Court Says Hif
Crime Is Estraditsbie
The most notable decision in the su.
preme court OF the United States Jan.
uary u was that in the Medley case.
Justice Harlan reviewed the case at
some length, referring to the crime
with which Medley is charged and
showing that Cuba was foreign terri.
tory In every aspect of the case, A.
held by the joint resolution Of o n
gress which brought the war with
Spain to an open fact, by the protocol
and By the treaty of Paris, Section j97O
OF the revised statutes 6xes a provision
OF extradition between the United
states and the foreign countries Of
criminals and in the Judgment of the
court held good in this case. Spain,
having by treaty relinquished all claim
to sovereignty over Cuba, and the
United States merely occupying the
island with It's military forces in ac-
cordance with a resolution Of congress,
the island - no less a foreign country.
and the court decides Medley must be
returned to Cuba for trial, and the
Judgment of the circuit court in deny
ing the application for a writ of ha-
beas corpus is affirmed.
Secretary Root said that he was
glad To hear that the supreme court
had decided that Medley could be ex-
tradited for the reason that the failure
OF the United States to return Medley
To Cuba for trial for the embezzleinent
of Cuban postal funds would give
American justice a black eye in Cuba,
especially ~ the United States was do
ing all it could to reform and purify
the administration of justice in that
island.

Secretary Hay wa back at the state

severe cold he has had for some time.
Minister Wu called early and there
was a conference lasting half an hour
ON the Chinese situation.
The department has now received
responses from all the powers relative
to the dispatch recently forwarded
through our diplomatic representa-
tives abroad urgently requesting that
negotiations be expedited as fast as
possible All OF the powers concur in
this view, and express an earnest desire
to reach a final settlement. IL is
rather a singular and unaccountable
fact, however, that some of the powers
have referred To delays caused by the
United States, whereas the efforts of
this government throughout have been

this reason that the recent proposition

Some Odd Ways in which Women

Earned It
The women folk OF the Methodist
church at Oxford recently set out to
earn money for certain church pur-
poses, and a meeting was held at
which each woman or girl recited the
method by which she had earned her
contribution, says the Boston Journal.
Some of the recitals were funny
enough to convulse the audience, and
a few are epitomized as follows: Miss
Mary DObbs started out to do some
janitor work, but got tired and sub
contracted the job, though saving for
herself a margin OF profit. Mrs. M.
Collins said that one day her husband
was tearing around the house hunting
for his o%vershoes and said he would
give a half a dollar TO know what had
