Ellis Gets Fifteen Years =.

VIM. Ellis, col,, alias ''Kiana
Kid" who was tried at the late
February term of the Macon cir
ciut court for the murder of two
Italian miners at Keota, Macon
county, last Christmas eve, and in

agree, II favoring and one op-
posing the death penalty, plead
ed guilty to murder in the second
degree before Judge Shelton
Monday and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for 10 years.
Ellis expected to be hanged and
spent the greater part Of last

deliverance. He looks upon the
extremely light sentence as an
answer to his prayers, and says
Monday was the happiest day of
his life. He has notified all of
his coal miner friends at Keota
to come in and see him off to the
penitentiary.

The Electric Railroad.

George B. Harrison OF Gla5-
g ow, president Of the Missouri
Central Electric railroad, was in
Keytesville Wednesday after
noon for the purpose of confer
ring with the local stock holders
in regard to the present status
and prospect of building the
road.
Since Col. Chase, the promoter,
had moved to the south of the
river and had undertaken the
esta blishment Of an electric line
from st. Louis to Kansas City,
some distrust was felt by the
people here as to the probable
intention of abandoning the line
heretofore surveyed and agreed
upon between Cuiya Junction
and Brookfield.
Mr.. Harrison's visit here was
for the purpose Of assuring our
people on the north side Of the
river that there is no intention
Cf abandoning the route as
originally surveyed and charter
ed. On the contrary it is the
purpose Of the company, he says,
to build this line first, Not only
SO, but the law, as interpreted by
Thos. Shackelford Of Glasgow,
and concurred in by j. c.. Craw-
Of Keytesville, whose written
opinion was exhibited by MIR.
Harrison, ,compels the building Of
the road on route the mentioned
in the charter before any branch
from the main line can be built.
The people on the south side
of the river may build an inde-
pendent line if they so elect, but
cannot build one under the char
ter of the "Missouri Central"
until the line mentioned in its
charter shall have been COM
pleted.
Gen. Price and j. R. Dempsey,
the Charlton county directors of
this road, are watchful of the in.
terests of the people on the north
side, and will see that they are
rightly represented.
We are glad to note that Pres
ident Harrison is very hopeful Of
the ultimate completion of the
road, and thinks there will never
be any trouble to get it financed
when everything shall have been
gotten in readiness, which is
expected to be done sometime
during the present year.

Live Stock Market.
Special to the COURIER.

here last week was 29,992; pre-
vious week, 34,940; correspond
ing week last year, 26,9S1.
Smaller receipts during the week
at all the markets benefited prices,
and the week ended with a net
gain of 10 to 30 cents, distribute
ed over all kinds. A large per-
centage of the receipts were beef
steers, about 20 per cent of which
brought S4.65 to S5.25, and 69
per cent, 81 to $3.50; II per cent
sold under 4 cents; previous
week % per cent of the beef
steers sold below 4 cents. The
most gain was on medium priced
steers, some sales early Thurs
day being fully 80 cents above
the previous Thursday. Cows,
heifers and butcher stuff brought
10 to Is cents; best COWS and
heifers brought 50 % to S4.25;
! fat bulls sDld about steady;
veal calves gained % to 40 cents;
stockers and feeders were in
good demand both from country
buyers and spectators; they ad-
vanced 10 to 80 cents. Supply
this week is even lighter than the
first two days of last week;
prices yesterday were barely
steady on account of the big sup
ply at Chicago, and to-day's
market is strong and active, and
has more:than made up the loss
Of yesterday. Stockers and
feeders are especially strong this
week, and country buyers COM
pete with packers for good,
fleshy steers. One bunch of
1920 pound steers at S4.57 1-2
went back to the feedlot yester-
day. Commission men expect
the market to be good the bal
ance Of the week. Market clos
ed to-day at the best point,
packers in some cases advancing
their own bids near the close.
Receipts of hogs last week
were 39,41S; previous week, e0,-
506; corresponding week last
year, "a, ,484. Smaller runs at all
the markets did not help the
prices, as is usually the case,
packers seeming to have control
of the hog market just now, and
being apparently most indiffer-
ent for supplies. Prices declined
% to 30 cents last week; good
advance was made yesterday,
and extremely light supplies CO.
day were expected to advance
prices 5 to 10 cents more, but the
market turned out to be barely
steady. The excessive weakness
in provisions, and the reasons
therefor, is the principal bear ar
gument. Top to-day is $3.50;
bulk of sales S5.10 to S5.45,
heavy hogs bringing $40 to
S5.55.
Receipts Of sheep at Kansas
City last week were PATIO; pre-
vious week, 81, ,546; correspond
ing week last year, 1850.
Wethers and ewes sold steady;
lambs lost 10 to 10 cents, and
yearlings showed some weakness.
The run this week for two days
is 12,OC0 head; market yesterday
was steady on sheep, and 5 to 10
cents lower on lambs and year.
lings. To-day's market is
steady all around, and top price
for lambs is $3.50; yearlings,
S5.10; wethers, $3.50; ewes,
S4.15; quality of stuff to-day is
not extra good.

The Doctors Eailed.

Kilgore, O., April 11.--A rather re-
markable case has just come to light
in this place Mr.. John T. Riegle
had been suffering for some time with
an aggravated form of Kidney dis
ease which had caused him great
deal of discomfort.
He tried the treatment Of several
doctors, but did not get any better.
At last he CHANGED to read an sdver-
tisement Of Dodds Kidney Pills, q
remedy which has been making many
wonderful cures, and he bought some
at once and began to use them. Ho
says of the result:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills do just what
they are advertised to do. can
praise them for the good they have
done for me. They cured me COM
pletely after the doctors had failed
and | wish that every poor sufferer
could hear of them. for know they
will cure Kidney trouble" -u
There seems to be no case of Kid

not cure perfectly and permanently.
