KANSAS CITY MARKETS
Effect of the Strike on Prices and
 Receipts.

Kansas City, July 17.-Thc flood a'arm had no sooner been eiimina ted than the great strike among the pack Ing house employees at all markets was lnaugurated. The flood damage was small and when the water went down there was hardly any signs of q flood left, but the effects of the strike are most uncertain at this time. The pack CTS say they intend to run their plants regardless of the unions ani have set about making preparations 10 that end. Armour is buying both cattle and hogs and killing about 15 per cent uf an ortii- nary days kill. Swift is killing a few cattle and killing hogs at the rate of about 60 head per hour. The other packers say they will be in a position to operate partially some time this week. The various plants here have about 40 per cent of their old help re- maining, as only about 50 per cent laid down their tools. Of course these men that remain are mostly common labor CTS, most of the skilled workmen be- longing to the unions. The new men that are secured will also be unskill- ed, and it will take time to get things running smoothly again, but it is fig ured that the packers here will be able 10 dispose of 50 per cent of the amount of stock they ordinarily handle after the first of this week. Eastern order buyers are active and the I50O cattle that arrived yestrday morning were sold steady to 10 cents hi9acr prices, Shippers should not crowd the mar ket, however, as only d limited number can be taken care of this wEeK. 1he ste cker and feeder business i5 os course only indirectly affected by the strike but buyers are timid about taking hold in the present unsettled condition of affairs. Later on it will be seen that nothing can permanently cripple the meat producing business, and country buyers will take heart. The 1000 head of hogs here were sold to .ArInuur and for some shipping orders at to 10 cents higher than ruled the day before, top $5.O5, bulk S4.95 to $5.O5, light hogs up to 8. Not many sheep here: prices 25 lower than week ago.

faces. Though the Indians acknowl- edge that they are having a goo1 time and making money in divers ways, all appear homesick for the Arizona sun. For several months the Indian en- campment has been in veritable slough of mud. Arizona Indians do not like rain.
 Within the building an effo1t has been made to contrast the wild and cultivated Indians. In little booths are squatted aborigines, smoking riDes, bows and arrows and baskets anl blankets. At the head of the line sits that old scoundrel. Geronimo, pick ng up dimes frcm visitors attracted by a legend that calls him "a medicine man." It is to be presumed the crowds would increase if the visitors generally knew the crimes of the ineffab'e cd wretch. On the other side of the thronged corridor are rooms wherein Indian girls are deftly doing all the work of the skilled housewife and bcys are working on the making of wagons and harness, are setting type and do- ing other civilized things In the model kindergarten little "Injuns" are being instructed after the rot ap- proved psychological methods. Out on the lawn the worlds fair Indian band is playing gcod operatic music, wkel it isn't furnishing accompaniment for good military drilling by the dark skinned students of the school. Of blankets and baskets there are a plenty, yet the idea of showing tte comparative development of the re1- skin has been the chicfest one. The original appropriation for the Indian exhibit was s4O,OOO. Colonel McCowap succeeded in having this raised to S65,- 900. To this sum the fair commission agreed to add SIP, ,0OO. I understan1 there has been some difficulty, as the fair IS in dire need of every cent that can be taken in. With the means at his hand, Colonel McCowan has done m9gnificent work. The building. one of the most pleasing on the grounds, was erected at a cost of s17 ,000 The remainder of the appropriation has gone for the gathering and transporta- ton of the Indians and their products and will have to /be drawn upon for the subsistence of two hundred or more students till the close of the fair. Somewhat of an addition is being de- rived from the sale of the articles man ufactUred in the building, including the dclicacies that come from the room of the class in domestic science.
 Next the Indian school is a typical Indian trading post, presided over by Will Benham. He appears to be do- ing an immense business at this point as well as at several booths he has in other parts of the grounds.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES coNSI

The power of this vast area with its agricultural and mineral wealth to sus- tain a population much greater than that which it now supports is sug- gested by a comparison of it's area with the area and population of tn. prosperous countries of Europe. The total area is S75,O25 square miles and is slightly less than that of the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Ger many, France, Spain, Italy and Switz- erland, whose total area is SS5,97S square miles, with present population of 202,3t3,573. as against population at the last census of 14,7OS,616 in the territory under Consideration, whose agricultural and mineral possibilities fully equal those of the European states named

BANKING STATISTICS

The prosperity shown by these figures is further evidenced by the banking institutions of the states form ed from this territory. Their capital stock amounted in 1903 to over $1O3.- 100000. against about $9S, ,OOO. .OOO in 1890; their circulation to S56. OOO against S15,644,O0O in 1890: their loans and discounts in 1903 to $5O2.412. .OOO against $269,O16,OOO in 1890. and their total resources in 1903 to S1.713.SOO- 900, against $746,9O3, 900 in 1890, while 9 still more gratifying evidence of the prosperity of this section is the fact that individual deposits in national banks in 1903 amounted to s471.22O.- 900, against $21S,6O9, ,OOO in 1SsG an in crease of more than $254,OOO.0OO in in dlVfdual deposits during the period.

HUMAN NATURE.

1t is interesting to read in the Demo
cratic newspapers the eulogies on the
life of the late Senator Hanna. One
and all praise him for his honesty and
sterling character ana even Homer
Davenport, the great c~artoonist who
attacked. Hanna during the Nc
Kinley campaign, when he originated
the cartoon with Hanna dressed in a
suit covered with dollar signs, has
drawn his last cartoon of the great
Republican leader showing Uncle
Sam, grief stricken, watching beside
the senator's bed with the shadow OF
Mckinley standing near. Tile thought
occurs, IL all these are really honest
opinions, why were they not shown
during his lifetime, when these same
newspapers and men were doing all
they could to slur the man they now
and to turn public1, esteem
him? 1t requires no answer,
however, for it is human nature ard

NEARLY REACHED THE LIMIT.

According to official records, the
past two days have been the coolest
February 16 and II since weather bur-
eaus were established. This is not
hard to believe. With the thermomet-
or down to zero and three and four
points below during the early morning
hours, and with a piercing northwest
erly wind cutting the face and biting
the ears and nose, the people hurry
along as if they were half frozen to
death, some hold their wooden gloves
over their ears and run, others bend
oyer to buck the wind and pull their
coats up so as to cover their chins.
1t is cold weather and there is no
mistake. It has been cold all winter.

and during the long months of De-
cember and January, people have con-
tinued t shiver while they would
tell each other that such weather was
80 unusual that it could not last long,
that it would soon be warm again.
But the warm has never come. There
has been very few days all winter
when the mercury has gone above the
freezing point at any time during the
day. At noontime, 20 and 25 has been
a fair average. Ice was never known
to make so fast and there was never
so much of it. Even with the traffic
there ia in the harbor now, it is hard
to keep the sound open and boats
travel with difficulty. The shores are
piled high with ice.

been a rain or q mild day. that is,
