Kansas City, Mo-, July rs, '03.
Special to The Press:
Quarantine receipts at 1926 cars
80 far this week are u third
more than last week, but only
half the run of the corresponding
week last year The market
closed last week in fairly good
shape, but lost ground the first
two days this week. Since Tues
day, however, prices have I'M
proved, and are nearly on u par
with last weeks close today.
The run today was light, and up
to noon not much had arrived
better than u poor quality of she
stuff. After noon twelve loads of
fair to good steers came in and
sold readily at strong prices.
Geo. N. Ball, Myra, Texas, sold
l42 steers this afternoon, 1903
pounds, at ~. 10, and Seay Bros,
Belcher, Texas, sold 104 steers,
S7S pounds, at 1920. These
prices are considered higher than
Mondays market, but not quite
as good as that of last week. The
proportion of cows has been large
this week, but demand has been
good for them, at prices ranging
from $2.15 to S2.75. Hardly any
bulls have arrived, only canning
kinds at $500 to $3.50. Veal
calves have not improved much,
but one bunch, this was good
enough to bring ST 40. Run of
calves on Quarantine side has
been light. Steers sold mostly

City Council Meeting.

The City Council met in regular
session Tuesday night of last
week. Petition of Wilfred B.
Turner for permission to erect
acetyline gas plant and construct
asphalt sidewalks in front of his
business house, referred to COM
mittee on fire limits.
The quarterly reports of the
Treasurer, Secretary and Marshal
were read and referred to the fl
nance committee.
City Attorney J. I. Thomson
asked the council to pass an ordi-
nance providing for the working,
by the city, of convicts found
guilty on appeal to the county
court and placed i'll custody of
the marshal for non-payment of
fine and costs. The matter was
referred TO the committee on or
dinaces.
Further on the subject of the
duties and compensations of the
city attorney as heretofore fixed
by the council, the city attorney
stated that the San Angelo ordi-
nance purported to have been
copied from the ordinances adopt
ed by the city of Temple; that
our city council had adopted all
the duties of the Temple ordi-
nance but had cut out many of
the compensations, although the
compensations come out of the
convicts without a cent of cost to
the city. He said 50 long as that
was the case he thought the city
was not interested in preventing
her attorney from collecting
reasonable compensation from
defendants, especially as only a
small portion of the fines and
fees were paid at all. He said
out of 26 cases already tried, he
had collected about four fees.
lie then said if there was anything
unfair to the city in this matter
he did not propose to urge it up
on the council. He asked if any
member Of the council saw any
objection to his position and as
no one replied he said he would
ask the council to amend the
duties and compensations of the
city attorney so as to contain the
same provisions as the Temple
ordinance on the same subject,
which he stated permitted the
attorney to collect fees out of de-
defendants alone, except in the
single instances of attending
council meetings, for which it
allowed fee that came from the
city.
He showed that our ordinance
required the city attorney to at
tend meetings when so re-
quested, and said if it was the
sense of the council that the city
attorney should be excluded from
the meetings that that clause
should be left out. No one made
objection, or made any remark
and finally alderman Bird moved

committee on ordinances (Which
is composed of himself and Alder
man Morgan) and 1t was so done,

Literature as q Trade.

To write successfully means to serve
long and hard apprenticeship. 1t
means to do many things badly in or
der to learn to do a few things we'll;
to read many authors, and good ones;
to live with words till ore knows their
value, and it means, too, that one must
know something about the reality of
life. In short, writing is trade, just
like bookbinding or typesetting. 1t is
different, of course; it has q higher side.
we believe, but to think only of the
higher side and ignore the trade par,

ing the slopes and the crown Of the
plateau.
Promptly the Federal infantry, which
had retreated to the west bank, re-
formed and, with fresh regiments in
the lead, charged across after the fee
ing foe. With wild cheers they dashed
upon the fugitives, who safely reached
the shelter of their own batteries on
the hills back of the forest screen lin
ing the south edge of the plateau. In
range of the fire of these guns the
Federals did not venture, although the
actual military key to the position,
Wayne's hill, was still held by Brock
inridge's men. Having retaken the
ground lost in the beginning, the Fed
erals rested, and both armies biv-
ouacked on the field.
During this fight between Breckin-
ridge and Crittenden a fresh Federal
brigade reached the camp of Rosecrans,
bringing up a wagon train with rations
to the hungry troops, who had tasted
since the battle of Dec, 81. The train
had slipped past the Confederate cav
airy of General Joe Wheeler, which
Bragg had sent on a ride in rear of
Rosecrans. When word of this timely
succor of the hard stricken foe reached
Bragg, he saw that Rosecrans was not
in retreat nor likely to abandon his
ground and himself ordered with
draWal from the contest
Before the arrival of the supply
train on Jan. 2 the Federal soldiers
were reduced to eating horse meat or
going hungry. The night after the bat
tie a steak from a freshly killed battle
horse was served to General Critten-
den, and he ate it with relish, not
knowing the nature of it until the day
after.
Some of Rosecrans officers had real
ly thought of retreating from the field
of Stone River. The weather was very
cold, and the Federal troops were told
to go without fires in their bivouac s.
The order was sent out, but Crit n
denis men had already lit theirs, and,
as the wind was high, they could not
/ be entirely extinguished. At the same
time some Of the cavalry moved about
with torches. Seeing the moving torch
es and the lights Of the fires from dis
lance, Rosecrans thought the Confeder-
ates had got around on the left flank of
his army and was preparing to spring
an attack there, as they had done on
his right flank Dec 81. He sent word
down the lines to prepare to fight or die
on the field. Crittenden was among
those who opposed retreat. He recalled
the gallantry of General Zach Taylor
the first night at Buena Vista, when he
was badly defeated. Said Taylor when
urged to retreat: 'My wounded are be-
hind me. | will never pass them"
Crittenden had fought with Taylor at
Buena Vista, as had Hanson, the brave
leader of the orphans" who fell fight
ing his neighbors of the Blue Grass
country. The fight of Jan. on the
east bank of Stone river may be called
a battle Of Kentuckians The Confed-
| crate leader, Breckenridge, was the most

They Are Made Up In Very Striking
Fashions.
Fur garments are very sumptuous
this year, or, rather, sumptuous look
ing, for the most inexpensive furs are
now being made into ideally lovely gar
ments. Women have hitherto looked
with contempt upon marmot and squir-
rel, but these now figure in chic little
boleros. Squirrel has to be treated
with care and is greatly improved by
the addition Of some ermine edging
and some good lace guipure.
There is a perfect craze for velvet,
both plain and spotted, for day and
evening wear.
The rough fur coats are mostly three
quarter length for motoring and other
purposes. The more sumptuous forms
Of carriage wraps are full length,
which is a wise proceeding, as they
can then be used for evening coats.

Dry oatmeal, cornmeal or bran rub

Try boiling potatoes half done before

Those who do not go out of the house
often breathe over and over again the

Nickel plating should be kept quite

the southern flag, as Crittenden was
most distinguished among Kentucky's
Federal sons.
Breckinridge's column was headed
by a Kentucky brigade, and Critten-
den had eight Kentucky regiments in
his column.
Stone River was, in fact, sequel to
the battle Of Perryville, XVI, fought a
few weeks before But for Bragg's re-
verse at Perryville, Stone River would
probably never have been fought, and
possibly the Confederates would have
had the upper hand in Kentucky.
The death of Hanson led to the pro
motion Of colonel to the command OF
the "Orphans." This was Ben Hardin
Helm, the man whom Lincoln once de-
clared was worth more to the northern
cause than the whole state of Ken
lucky.
The brigade fought heroically to the
end of the war. In the Atlanta cam.
paign, during 100 days fighting, 1000
Orphans out of LAO mustered for
battle at the outset were killed or
wounded. GEORGE Z. KILMER.

KANSAS farmers are again holding up trains in
their search for harvest hands, and atho good wages
are offered they have great difficulty in securing
help. Laborers have learned from experience that
the good wages paid in the harvest fields do not
compensate them for the hardships to be endured
there Every season Kansas farmers have trouble
to secure help and each year greater scarcity
Of hands This is problem the farmers must solve
# they are to continue to prosper.
Harvest hands are very often not treated fairly,
we might say decently They are frequently looked
upon as mere beasts of burden. The hours are too
long: men work from dawn till dark, toiling in the
hot sun without sufficient nonrishment Food there
is in plenty, but it is of character that does NOT
give the worker stamina to endure the hours of drv-
ing toll. 49,
What is more welcome to q tired man than q

harvest fields. The hands sleep in the loft of the
barn on most FARMS altho it is true that farm
ers have provided bunk houses for them. In most
cases. however, the clean hay is preferable to the
bunk house. II the hands want clean clothes to
wear, they must wash their things themselves in the
