Unheard OF Condition in the
Corn Market at Kansas
City.
Thousands of Cars on Track in
the Yards There-Today's
Quotations.
Difference Of Price at Kansas
City and Chicago Widening
Hogs Higher.

| Kansas City, Jan. 23.-A corn block
ade. with grain commanding high
prices and the great southwestern
country buying from the north and
east, instead of having corn for sale
is the anomalous condition that ex-
lists in Kansas City. Grain men say
there are thousands Of cars of corn on
track here and railroad yards so full.
it takes many days to get a train
started out of the city after it has been
ordered shipped Most of the corn is
coming from Iowa and northeastern
Nebraska, but the Dakotas and north
ern Illinois are contributing large sup
plies now.
Chicago, Jan. 23.-Weakness in coarse
grains resulting from slumps in outside
markets yesterday characterized the
opening of grain today. Wheat acted in
sympathy. but corn easily took the lead
by its depressing effects. Gables were
lower at the start, but improved later.
The Improvement. however. seemed to
have little strengthing influence. May
corn opened u to q lower at 637s to
63la. There was almost an entire alb
sence OF buying orders and on the
weakness shown at Kansas City and the
poor cash situation May slid down to
63ls G631s.
General unloading of corn, both by
outsiders and the local crowd. almost re
suited in a bear raid and pressed May
down to 623s, a less of cents since yes
terday. Late In the session shorts COW
cred and there were reports of corn
worked for Germany, and attention be-
gan to be paid to the small estimate for
tomorrow, eighty cars. Prices rallied
somewhat. but May closed very weak,
is cents down al 62A.
Yesterday cash corn at Kansas City
sold at 6sls to Go as against sc the day
previous. Everybody seemed to have
corn for sale. Several large lines We're
unloaded, but there was slight rally
to 633s toward the end of the first
hour. Wheat was weak on lower ca
bles and lack of any revival to the cash
demand, but was further depressed by
corn. Statisticians reported the crop
condition favorable and predictions
We're Tor colder weather in the north
west. May opened half to % lower at
1914 to 1885. sold off to 70, but on short
demand at low prices rallied weakly to
79K.
Wheat news continued bearish and on
Horn weakness the bears pounded the
market numerically. May slid down to
7Sss, but reacted well on covering. clos
ing weak 12Qss OF cent lower at 1850
Oats We're inclined to dulllnets at the
opening. The corn weakness was re-
flected in this cereal from the start.
May started Y 10 Is down at ASK to
45A, sold down 10 Asa and reacted to
1915.
Provisions showed improvement over
yesterday on better prices and smaller
receipts of hogs at the yards. The grain
weakness and some selling OF lard
brought small :etback

FINISH FIGHT AT VAIL.
Kid Hogan and Clarence English in
Fine Rino Contest.

Special to Times Republican.
VAIL JAM 23.-Kid Hogan, of Chicago,
and Clarence English, who claims the
| feather championship of Nebraska,
mixed to finish here Tuesday night in
| the opera house. Hogan claims to be
nephew of Malachi Hogan the noted
referee and sporting writer and to have
| a considerable ring record behind him.
| The men met at catch weights for the
| gate receipts and a side bet. The fight
| lasted a little more than two minutes
| into the seventh round when Hogan
went out from a solor plexis punch and
| hard left to the head.
| 1t was a hurricane affair thru the
! entire set-to. Both men fought like
| fiends and the referee was kept busy
| breaking There was no loafing or
| sparring for wind. They came together
| in the middle Of the ring and gave and
took In rapid succession of hot voliies.
| Hogan went down in the fourth but was
up again at three and mixed flercely. He
went to his knees in the fifth from hot
smash in the wind and was on his knees
again in the sixth. He was going fast
and IN the seventh English got home
for fair and the red headed Irish boy
from handshake to dreamland.
While both men have much to learn
in the boxing game both are more than
ordinarily clever and gave the crowd
their MONEYS worth in seven rounds of
hard, fast fighting. They milled al the
time ard fought like fiends from the
handshake to dreamland English had
the best OF it from the send off and had
his man ready for the auctioneer in the
fourth but was held out by his seconds
who feared lucky punch might lose
him the fight. Hogan's ducklng and
blocking was superior to that of Eng
lish but English had an appetite for
mixing and hard punch that brought
home the goods He was in no danger
after the first round.
English, the winner, Is built for the
game and likes It, He is pupil of Prof.
Ed Robinsin who is conducting a col
lege of athletics at Denison. He weighs
1875 when in condition ana with proper
care and decent life will develop into
possible champion.
Hogan put up game fight and was
fighting hard when his quietus came.
He lacks generalship with all his game
ness and will never make a first class
man.
The preliminary wrestling bout be-
tween Prof. Robinson and Cole. of
Omaha was an excellent exhibition o.
catch as catch can.
Coppock. a stock food salesman from
Ocheydan went in with Robinson and
faded like snowbaIl on not day

A Good Recommendation.

~ have noticed that the sale on Cham
berlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets is al.
most invariably to those who have once

prominent druggist OF Cascade. Iowa.
What better recommendation could any
medicine have than for, people to call

.er eating. when you have a bad taste
N your mouth, feel bilious. have no APP

Racine. Wis, May 6.-Fifty Italians
iaboTers employed by the Milwaukee
railroad made murderouS attacks Sun
day night on Miss Nellie Brown and
Mrs. Sarah Burns and fought so des-
pcrately against capture that only two
were caught, and this after the sheriff
had chased them with an automobile
The two prisoners were lodged in Jail
after running the gauntlet of mob
bent on summary justice.
The gang left its quarters in the
WOrlmen'S ears on the siding near the
town of CorliSS, seven miles north of
Racine, and walked to the saloon of
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Burns for a
carouSe. Near the saloon they met
Miss Brown, who is the daughter of
President William Brown, of the Cor
liSS Engine works. They inSulted the
girl, and when she ran enc of them
fired two shots at her from n revolver.
\ bullet tore its way through her
skirts and another graZed her head.
The Italians found the mother of
Deputy Sheriff Burns alone at the sa-
loon and when she resented their IA
miliartity they fired several shots at
her from their revolverS, but the bull
Jets all lodged in the wall and floor.
The noise of the shooting and the
screams of the women attracted a
crowd and the Italians retreated to the
railway station of the Milwaukee road.
The operator telegraphed an alarm to
Racine. where the sheriff loaded an
automobile full of deputies. The auto
mobile made the run to COrliss in
twenty minutes and officers and citi-
zcnS pursued the Italians and shots
were exchanged on both sides.
The Italians fed, but two of them
We're captured and taken to the rail

work TO persuade the citizens not to
lynch them. In the midst of the ex-
citement Il third Italian tried to effect
the release of his comrades and fired
at the officers. The mob pursued this
man to the woods. At this moment
train came along and the officers
brought the two captives to Racine
and lodged them in Jail.
