tion. So much for Mr.. Wylie's train
ing. AS a teacher he has been very
successful, willie his opportunities for
practice in the field OF "ensemble" :"
and orchestral playing has been Of the

tion in America. For one year he
was concert-master in the Chicago
Musical College Orchestra and while
10 Berlin, he played first violin in the

On leaving Berlin Mr.. Wylie, refus
ed to consider several tempting offers
to cOncertze in both Europe and
America, went directly to Kansas City
and opened a series Of violin evenings
under the roof Of the jenkins Music
Co. His programs are made up Of
the choicest Of Standard violin litera
ture and were well arranged with Z
view to displaying an enoromous de
gree of technical proficiency ant
broad, serious muslclanship. He hai
successfully carried through the only
series Of high class chamber music IL
the West and has been made the r.
cipieut Of every honor that his col
leagues have had to bestow. Hi
playing is marked by total absenc
of effort, great breadth Of tone ant
brilllancy, steel-like surety and
rare degree of refinement. Mr.
Wylle has been engaged to direct tn,

and will be present to teach personall

OF Federal aid or legisla-
tion.
No one ever heard Of Theodore
Roosevelt becoming a protectionist
until he became the Republican can
didate for Vice President and now as
the candidate for President.
And yet he has stood and will stand
again, upon the Republican platform
pledged to protection as a principal
and those protectionists who believe
in the sancity Of tariff schedules and
prescribe members Of their own party
for advocating any reasonable mOdi6-
cation or change aud all Of those who
are waxing rich at the expense of the
people, the protected classes aud the
"crimlnal rich, will be asked to look
upon Theodore Roosevelt as their
friend and protector.
No man should be prescribed for a
change of opinion If it is the result Of
research or the fruit Of mature judge
ment.
But it may and often does indicate
mental instability or willingness t
yield principle for place.

Market Letter.

Kansas City, Mo, Wednesday,
September Z, 1904. Outside of a slow
market yesterday on cows and calves,
all kinds of cattle have gained a little
every day since Thursday. There has
been no strictly choice dry lot steers
here, one bunch that brought S5.85
yesterday, being the nearest approach
to it. Grass steers have gained 20 and
80 cents in the past week, COWS and
heifers 20 to so cents, veal calves are
about Sl.OO higher, stOckers and
feeders 80 to 40 cents higher Moder-
ate receipts at all markets, when every
body else was expecting heavy runs,
and a demand little ahead OF the
supply on all kinds, is responsible for
the gain in price. The demand for
stock and feeding cattle is phenomenal
from localities where there is a good
corn crop, Illinois and Iowa Top
price for beet cattle yesterday was
S5.85, and the cattle we're the best
since week before last, when $500
was reached. Packers are buying
fair lot OF grass steers, 1850 TO 1900
pounds, at S3.7 to S4,35, grass western
steers 1926 to $4,OO, and grass she
stuff at 80. .S5 to 1915. Some choice
100 pound cows sold at S440 last
week. A few fancy veal calves bring
So 90. Good to choice stock and feed
ing steers range from sS rs to S4 %,
and fair set can be secured at S2.75
to So so. Stock she stuff and bulls
bring $500 to s2.75.
Hog prices have gained steadily since
the set back of last Tuesday or
"Wednesday. Top today is S5 50, bulk
of sales S5,S5 to s5.45, Light and
medium hogs now sell nearly together,
with heavy weights close up. A good
many thin hogs, and coarse sows and
stays are coming and they are cut
severely IN price, but the number is
not large enough to keep down range
of bulk of sales, Receipts are hight at
all points this week, and everything
seems to boint to good markets for
bogs balance of this month
Ackley & Bedford of Wellington,
Mo-, had in the 30th a carload of hogs.
Fred Franz, of Alma, Mo, brought
a carload of stockers here the 1st.

Won His Gift Back.

The fact that cats always instinct
lively find, their way home is rather
remarkably illustrated by story told
by a young man who lives in German
town, says the Philadelphia Record.
He is an expert in the art of pyrogra-
ply, and about year ago he present
ed a girl of his acquaintance with a
burnt-wCcd boz which seemed to be
highly appreciated as a specimen of
his own handiwork. One evening last
week the young Photographer attended
a euchre where the ladies had present
ed the prizes for the contest. The
young gallant, taking hand, won the
identical box he had presented to the
young lady. On recognizing his own
handiwork, and being somewhat of a
wag, he took the box home, and on the
under side burned a grotesque figure
of a cat, with the inscription over the
head, The cat came back" and at the
feet, You can't lose me-" With this
addition to the already much orna-
mented box was returned to the girl
who had SO kindly donated it to help
make the euchre success.
