the confessions of four men arrested in

made the plates, but there is nothing to

with the issuance of the counterfeits. He
said he received $500 for making one set Of

 KANSAS CTrY, Mo, Saturday, Sept. "A, 1904. Cattle receipts this week were 78,l00 head, about 5000 less than last week. The packers laid down on beef steers after Mon- day, and nearly all kinds of kill- ing stuff has lost most of the gain of last week The lower prices is what kept the receipts below those of last week. Beef steers are 20 to B cents lower than last week, and top price of the week was only S6.10, paid Monday, since wben $500 has not been reached. Not many toppy punches have been here this week, and such an assort- ment to make high tops. Quite a good many Colorado and Western grass steers have been here this week, selling from> $500 to $3.S5 for $50 to 1160 lb. steers. Some old Mexico's, grazed in Colorado, sold at $2.90, 913 lb. Grass cows have sold at $2.10 to $500. Kansas grazed Panhandle cows bring $2.10 to $2.50 mostly. Gamers are about steady this week at $2O0 down. Grass bulls bring S1.75 to $2.25, veal calves q little higher, at $4.00 10 $5.50. Stock and feeding cattle have fared better this week than killing kinds, losing 10 to 15 cents Monday, but this has just about been regained by the best grades since. Others have gained little. Feeders are more wanted than stockers, and stock calves are the biggest drug on the market, Good to choice feeders bring $500 to S3.S5, stockers and stock calves S2.50 to S3 90, stock she stuff and feeding bulls s 1.73 to $225.
 Hogs started out the week with a big advance Monday and Tuesday, but dropped back next two days, ending the week stronger again and about 10 to 15 cents above close of last week. Top is now around $6.O0. bulk of sales $5.S5 or better. S6.05 was paid Tuesday, highest price in year Medium weight hogs now bring top prices; heayies and lights and pigs are shaded a little, with heavy weights gaining ground.
 Sheep and lamb receipts are now liberal, and prices are 20 to 30 cents lower on lambs, killing sheep a little lower, stock and feeding grades have also settled down a peg or two. Good to choice lambs now bring S4,75 to $5.10. western wethers and yearlings s3. .25 to $3. .S5, fat ewes $500 to $3.30, feeding ewes $2.T5, wethers $3.50, yearlings S3.65, breeding ewes around S3.50.

Peters Cartridge Co.

Much is heard in these days about
"giant industries" their marvellous rise
from small beginnings and the genius of
the men who have made such advance
ment possible. Some of the most re-
markable of these enterprises are con
Quoted in a quiet way, without blarc OF
trumpets, so that the public at large
does not realize their magnitude. For
instance, how many people know that
located in the Southwestern part
| Ohio is the most complete establishment
or the manufacture of ammunition in tho
world? Yet that is the literal truth. 1t
! safe to say that comparatively few OF
of the millions who have enjoyed and
prohtcd by the use of Peters Cartridges
and loaded shells have any adequate
knowledge of the factories where these
goods are made. The buildings Of the
Peters Cartridge Company aggregate a
floor space of almost 100000 square feet,
to which additions are constantly bcig &
made. They are crowded with machih-
ny of latest design, much of il automat-
ic and producing almost incroditab!c
esults, and all in charge of nof large
experience and great success in their
special lines Tho output in all kinds
of shells and ammunition amounts to hun
lreds of millions annually
The statement that this Company
operates the most complete ammunition
plant in the world is made adyiscdly
for while producing the greatest variety
of goods of any cartridge factory in the
world, ii does what no other concern at
acmpts--nakes practically everything
entering into the complete shell or car
ridge of whatever kind, except some of
the rawcst part Of the raw material and
some of the nitro powders. The result
is this Company not only obtains every
thing at first hand, but is able to watch
over every detail of the process and toI
hioN tlltl IL 10 ilSht. All lhhttltdip arc
arofully selected, and the finished pro-
uct is subjected to exhaustive tests, Il
number Of expert men being employed |
for this purpose alone. From these fac |
ries are sent out shells bearing the
f liar names: League" Referee,
,ew Victor" High Gun, Ideal" and |
Premier" as well az the rife and pistol |
tridgcs loaded with the famous semi |
okelcss powder, all Of which is large
scd in this section. Everyone who |
1ots any kind Of a gun is chiefly IN |
rcstcd in knowing that the amunItion
uses is thoroughly reliable and woIl-
igh perfect, but these facts concerning |
