sheriff Bradley interviewed in Chicago.

SheriT Bradley Interviewed in Chicago
George Bradley was in Chicago two
weeks ago with a load of fine Sher-
man county horses that attracted a
great deal of attention on the horse
market. The Chicago Live Stock
Journal contained the following:
George N. Bradley, GOOdland, Kan,
was on the market recently with a
mixed load of drafters and Boston
chunks, which were closed out at a
very satisfactory prices, says Col. J. B.
Jackson Of the DrOvers' Journal. Mr..
Bradley is a prominent citizen of Sher-
man county and heads the county
ticket IN the approaching county cleo
ton as a candidate for sheriff. He re-
ports Kansas rapidly coming to the
front as a hOrse-breeding state, having
at the last census 81, sos horses valued
at SIS, PIG, 565, being an average of
1854 per head. Kansas has more
horses than Missouri OF Nebraska and
only falls tweny-four head below the
census of Ohio. Mr. Bradley reports
that more good draft stations have
been imported into Kansas during the
last five years than during the fifteen
previous seasons. Tae climate, native
grasses, soil and water of Kansas are
admirably adapted to the horse indus
try and the state Is destined to ulti-
mately take first rank among states
that lead in the raising Of fine horses. -

KANSAS CITY MARKET.
Prices Waxed strong on Moderate Re
eeiPts-1Iany Beef Steers


ceiPts-Many Beef Steer
Kansas City. No. April I2--The
most striking feature IN the cattle
trade lately IS the large number Of beef
steers that have been offered. The
quality Of beef cattle has been good for
a week back and is good to-day. Prices
advanced generally last week on mod
crate receipts and a good demand.
There was a light run here yesterday,
but plain heavy steers lost 10 cents, as
Chicago reported cattle market there
10 cents lower
Best heavy steers and light weights,
she stuff stOckers and feeders sold
steady to strong. Run here to-day is
1900 head, and packers were Prepar-
ed to take large slices of the price;
they had not counted on the excellent
outside demand, however, which Ger
tainly proved the salvation Of the mar
ket to-day There were orders for ex-
port cattle galore, and plenty Of orders
from small eastern butchers.
Beef steers, though, are 10 cents low
er to-day, and about like the low time
last week. Top to-day was S5.25, aud
and three or four sales above $500.
Cows and heifers and all butcher cattle
continue to sell strong. Young heifers
sold at $40 to-day, while steers of the
same age and quality sold at S4.25.
Stock heifers bring so cents less tina
stock steers, which illustrates the good
demand there Is for butcher stuff
StOckers and feeders are quiet
this week. Extra good stockers. sell
readily at strong prices, but the rank
and file are slow TO move. Bulls are
steady at $3.50 to S3.75, veal calves
quiet at prices up to 5000.
Hog prices were lower last week. but
advanced yesterday. Light weights
have been gaining on heavy weights
lately, but yesterday the lights lacked
and were barely steady, while
heavier weights gained cents. Pack
eTs bid very nearly the same for all
qualities, and range of prices Is not
wide. Market Is lower to-day, with a
somewhat bigger margin against light
hogs. Top Is $50, bulk of sales S4.s5
to S5.05, weights below 200 pounds up
TO 81 80. Predictions OF s.. so hogs by
June are frequently heard.
Sheep and lamb supply is light this
week, and prices are advancing by
leaps and bounds; IS to 80 per cent OF
the Colorado fed stuff has been market
ed, very little local stuff remains to
come, Aaizona and Texas stuff viii start
late this season, and prices are there
fore expected 10 remain high Light
lambs sold at $500 yesterday, western

Definite Upon the Point That BE viii
Not Be Candidate for Governor.
At the PoPulist convention in Topeka
this week, the question came up of
nominating ex-senator ". A. Harris as
a candidate for governor. Mr.. Harris
has recently declared that he viii not
accept the nomination The following
letter has been written by him to Major
Harvey in February:
Il notice something from YOU In the
newspapers on the subject of my run
ming for governor. You know better
than anyone how appreciate the good
words aud kind feeling of my friends
ali over the state. You also know
something of what / have sacrificed in
politics am just beginning to once
more get IN touch with business affairs,
and It would be absolutely ruinous for
me TO again sacrifice everything for my
possible political Preferment. AT my
age It would be hopeless for me ever
to get on my feet again. There are
Others dependent upon me whose claims
are imperative, so / can only repeat to
you what havs said to others that I'm
der no circumstances can 1 permit my
name to be used as a candidate for any
Office. There are other men who ought
to and can unite the opposition to the
party, which is always the
wolf, even when masqueradiug in the
stolen fleece. W. A. HARRIS
Major Harvey replied to this letter
and urged him to run and the ex-sena-
tor then wrote another letter which
came this week. Both of these letters
were passed around among the dele
gates at Topeka. The second letter
follows:
1T is absolutely impossible for me
10 attend to my business and 90 into
politics in any way whatever. Ny
health is not very good at present and,
take It altogether, It would be absO-
lutely ruinous to me in every way. I
regret to appear obstinate m such a
matter, but am absolutely forced to
adhere to resolve. Very sincerely
yours, W. A. HARRIS"

Il IS expected that c. 2. Dewey, the
millionaire Kansas ranchman. his son
Chauncy, and the foreman Of his ranch,
William J. Mcbride. will 20 into the
federal court at Topeka this week and
plead guilty to the charge OF uulawfuIly

municatiOn within the last few days
with District Attorney Dean. II is under

able BY fine and Jail sentence, but by
pleading guilty they may escape by
paying a fine.
The evidence gathered by govern
ment inspectors has been 50 ample and
cOpiOus IN this case against the Deweys
that the escaping of the truth of the
charge Is impossible.

Rock Island railroad at GOOdland, was
instantly killed Monday morning about
nine o'clock, while coaling engine 1878,
being crushed to death against the boil
er head by the apron of the coal
dump
The accident was caused by the en-
gine being run into by train of about
Is cars handled by the switch engine,
as the train was being made up
for the second section of freight No. 81,
westbound. The hopper, containing
three tons of coal, was being discharged
on the tender of the engine, and was
nearly emptied when the heavy shunt
drove the engine backward. The
apron Of the coal bin shot forward and
caught Butler about the head and
chest, crushing the life out of him in an
instant.
Help was Immediately summoned. If
the engine was pushed ahead the body
might be further mangled by the wreck
age Of the engine cab. So, about 20
inches square of the heavy oak plank
ing of the dump was sawed out before
the body was released from the death
trap. The left arm was broken, the
upper part of the chest mashed in, and
the left side of the head and neck hOrTi-
bly, mutilated, and a part of the face
nearly cooked by heat Of the boiler
The body was removed to the Bower
&, Son undertaking establishment. The
sad news was conveyed to Mrs. Butler
first that her husband was seriously in
jured, then that he could live but a very
short time, and finally that he was dead
ali before she could realize that in the
midst of life and health her home had
really been touched with the chill of
death. She was fondling a baby in her
arms and was careing for her other
little child as the messenger of the
heavy news knocked at the door of the
home
After the body had been prepared at
the undertakes, it was transferred to
the home, accompanied by an escort of
the Federal union, to which the deceas-
ed belonged
The funeral was held from the Cath
