Kansas City, Mo-, Monday, Oct. 10,

City amounted to $4,000 head, includ-
ing 10, 900 calves, against 1880 head,
including $500 calves, same week last
a large proportion of the receipts.
Western beef steers sold badly all
week, and even good native steers
sod week, although not many of the
latter were here. Western she stuff
sold better than any other kind of
cattle, and ranged for most of the
week about Is cents better than close
of previous week, but sagged a little
Friday and Saturday. Veal calves,
except the fat light weights, sold 25c
to SOC lower. Stockers and feeders
changed very little all week. and
business in this line was big, 1T 11O0
cars taken to the country. Trade in
this line was not active, even appear

tai made last week one of the largest
weeks at this market. Run today is

weak to lower in spots. Beef steers
are again dull, stockers and feeders

and not a few OF them are expecting

Sheep rum last week was moderate
at $1,000 head, and prices changed
very little. All kinds except FEEDING
wethers were steady nearly all week,
they being 10c to 15c lower. Feeding
ewes and lambs held up fully. Fat
wethers brought up to 1886, lambs

PEACOCK VS.. THE RECORD.

He Again Fines Members Of the Rec
ord Force for Examples Sake.
Unfortunately for THE RECORD
it seems that under the present dis
p%ensation of justice, whenever an
example is wanted of the punishment
that will follow a transgression of
municipal law THE RECORD is Sc
lected as the proper institution to
furnish the example.
Last spring it will be remembered
that with great gusto it was pro-
claimed that all persons failing to
keep their premises in proper sani-
tary condition would be heavily fin
ed. The start was made by Justice
Peacock filming the RECORD. The
fine was promptly paid without com.
plant, the avenging Nemesis was
satisfied with her ten pieces of sill
yer. Since then the condition of
back yards and alleys remain about
the same as they were then, but
there has not been another fine lev
led for this offense from that day
to this. and there probably will not
be until a few loose boxes are left
behind the RECORD office over
night.
But yesterday another example
was required to uphold the majesty
of the law. There is an ordinance
providing that all bicycle riders at
night should be provided with a
light IN their whee.s. This is a
good ordinance N should be entorc-
ed. For a year past it has been uni
versally oisregarded as every citizen
knows. Night before last the once
boy OF the RECORD othce and a
member OF the JOB department were
summoned to appear before Justice
Peacock tor riding their wheels
without the lantern attachment. An.
other example had to be made.
Fines OF $3.50 were levied against
each. 1t maze no difference that one
was a boy OF tweIve a of age,
bright and industrious, remaining out
OF school hal he may earn four dol
lars a week. A fne-not the mini
mum-with all the trimmings was
assessed against him. The officers
had to have their fees even if the
boy did have to work two weeks to
pay them. What mattered it that
every night men are seen riding
wheels without lanterns, the REC
ORD Office boy must be made the
example for the town. There will
probably now be as many more fines
on this account as followed the REC
ORD fine of a few months ago. These
are a few samples of the spasms of
justice.
