Live Stock Market.
Special to the COURIER.

Special to the COURIER.
Kansas City, Mo-, Tuesday,
April 5, 1904. Cattle receipts at
all the markets last week were
liberal and the proportion of
beef steers at Kansas City was
large. Light weight steers sold
steady and with fair life, but
plain heavy cattle were sluggish,
and lost Is to 25 cents. Best
stockers and feeders were almost
steady, but medium and common
kinds sold lower. Cows and
heifers sold fully steady. There
was some Improvement in the
general market after. .Wednes-
d ay, and the market yesterday
was strong to 10 cents higher.
Run to-day is moderate sfor
Tuesday, at 10000 head,s and
prices are strong. More good
steers are here than have. been
offered any day for a long. time,
and the demand is good. Top
price is S5.25. There has been
some improvement in the stocker
and feeder situation this week
also. Choice stockers sell from
S4 to $3.50, but medium to com.
mon kinds exhibit some drag
yet. A few days of bright and
warm weather would help prices
and movement in this line very
much. Cows and, heifers still
hold their own, and sell better
than any other class. Bulls' are
about steady, veal calves scarce
and firm.
Hog prices changed very little
last week, although fluctuations
were frequent. Market was
higher yesterday, but has lost
the advance to-day. Light hogs
now sell within 5 or 10 cts. of
heavy weights. Quality of
hogs is as good or better, than
at this time last year, : but
prices are So lower. Receipts at
all the markets are running
about 20 per cent. heavier. .'than
a year ago. Top price to-day
S5.25, bulk of sales So. Ito
$500.
Sheep and lamb prices fare
gradually improving, although
still 81 to $3.50 under
year ago. Wethers and
ives sell better relatively
than lambs or yearlings. An
exceptional bunch of wethers,
121 pounds, western, sold sat
$3.50 yesterday. Ewes sell ur
to $5.75, lambs at 1925 to S5.85.
yearlings up to S5.25.

Two Shooting ARRAYS.

A shooting scrape occurred at
Westville Wednesday or Thurs.
day of last week in which VIM.
Smith, the Westville druggist,
shot Jas. Henry in the leg. 1t
seems as though Henry went in
to the drugstore and demanded
whiskey, which Smith refused to
give him, and thereupon Henry
became abusive and Smith eject
ed him from the store. Henry
continued his abuse of Smith
after being put out of the house
and Smith took a shot at him,
striking Henry in the leg, in.
flicting flesh wound. No ar.
rests.
Robt. Fletcher, a Mendon
blacksmith, was in John Hick.
ey's saloon at that that place
Tuesday repairing beer pump.
Tom Austin came in and, Fletch-
er says, moved some of his tools.
Austin denied the charge and a
quarrel and fight followed in
which Austin slashed Fletcher
across the head with a knife and
also cut his clothes in several
pla es. Fletcher thereupon
struck Austin with small ham,
mer, but the weapon was not
large enough to lay him out, yet
was sufficient to put Austin to
flight. After he ran out of the
saloon Fletcher got a pistol, went
to the saloon door and fired at
Austin three times, but neither
shots took effect. We understand
that each party to the affray
contributed a dollar and costs to
the village exchequer, but no
state warrants have been issued
nor is there likely to be any.

for JOS. W. Folk to support in
1900 when Folk was running on
the same ticket, but Jim was too
bitter pill for Folk to swallow
in 1902 when Folk was a hold
over. If Jim is nominated for
congress again this year can
Folk consistently support him?
Folk endorsed the Democratic
party and the state Democratic
administration in his speech at
st. Joseph, but he has since
changed his mind and has been
abusing Gov. Dockery and "the
state Democratic machine.
Did you believe Folk at St.
Joseph or do you believe him
now?
Folk charges Gov. Dockery
with winking at boodling. Gov.
Dockery denies the charge, and
publishes Folks own telegram
thanking him for his assistance
in the Kratz and other Doodle
! cases. Do you believe Folk now
or did you believe him when he
sent the telegram to Dockery?
Folk says that Gov. Dockery
must either acknowledge respon-
sibility or admit his incompe-
tency in the Kansas City and ST..
Louis primary ''outrages. .
Gov. Dockery did admit his re-
sponsibility and wrote to the po-
lice boards of both cities asking
them to see that there was no
police interference at the polls.
After the charges of police in
reference were made, Gov.
Dockery called for full investi-
cation and for the dismissal OF
every policeman from the force
who was found guilty. In ST.
Louis the grand jury, over which
JOS. w. Folk holds mighty sway,
was called upon to make an in
vestigation and several indict-
ments have been returned, but
there have, as yet, been no con.
victions. Here the responsibility
has been shifted upon Mr.. Folk.
He must acknowledge it, and il
he fails to convict the accused
after all of the bowling he has
done, it will then be in order fol
him to admit his own imcompe.
tency.
Folk insists that Doodle is ar
issue in the gubernatorial cam.
paign, and that he is the only
Moses that can lead the Demo
cratic party from the awful deptf
of degradation into which it hal
sunk. Doodle may be an issue
but it is no more 80 than Mr.
Folks inconsistencies, among
which is the Doodle fund that il

Struck the Wrong Man.

For sometime past bad blood
has existed between A. G.. Phil
lips and P. w. HALEY of Key
tcsville. HALEY seems to think
that Phillips has been following
him around" while Phillips is of
the opinion that HALEY has con-
stantly assumed a threatening air
toward him. Saturday last:they
met in Gaston's drugstore, and
Phillips, noticing that HALEY
had knife in his hand, advised
him to 60 out and let him (Phil-
lips) alone. When Phillips got
ready to leave he noticed man
standing just outside thes door
whom he mistook for P. w. Hal
ley, and fearing that's. HALEY
would stick a knife in him as he
passed, Phillips thought's"dis
cretion was the better part of
valor" and struck the ,~man
standing in the door in the ..back
Of the head. Instead of being
P. W. HALEY it was Halley's
brother, Robt. M. Halley,..whom
Phillips assaulted. A fisticuff
followed in which HALEY broke
his right hand over Phillips
head necessitating the sremoval
of a portion of the bone between
the first knuckle and the wrist
by DR.. B. Hughes. Robt. M.
HALEY will be disabled for twork
for several weeks.
Phillips very much regrets
that he struck the wrong man,
and will settle with Mayor Ed
wards as soon as the amount of
his fine is determined.

 MT. Rutherford emphasized the danger of Great Britain being dependent on one source of supply and said he believed there was a great future for the cotton industry in Egypt the Lagos territory and Nigeria. He said he hoped the gov ernment would help the British cotton growers by constructing railways and in transportation generally
