Recorder Lazarus has given an in
teresting and important decision in a
case tried before him the other day
1t was a case, in which the brother
of a girl had interfered with a love
affair which she had with a railroad
emplOye and which led to a row be-
lover. IF a girl falls in love-" said
Recorder Lazarus in his decision,
with a young man who is industrious
and has a good character, no power
on earth has the right to interfere
with her affections. Too much Of this
IS done by meddling relatives. A
young woman is always the best judge
Of her own feelings and no one
should try to tell her whom she
should or should not love-" This jul
dicial opinion has attracted consider
able attention and although it is ad-
mittet that, from theoretical point Of
view the learned judge is undoubted-
ly right, the opinion prevails quite
generally. that from practical
standpoint the theory, upon which the
opinion IS based, is by no means ten
able in mnay cases. The question
was asked, what the aforesaid learned
judge would do, should he discover
that his daughter, provided he has one
of marriageable age. had fallen in
love with some low born and obscure
young man, without education and re-
tinement, but Industrious and of good
moral character. 1t is generally be-
,ieved. that in that case the judge
would consider the question in an en-.
tireIy different light.

Market Letter.
Special to The Press.

Kansas City, Mo-, Thursday,
April 2Sth. 1904. about 800 cat
tie arrived in Quarantine Divi-
sion Monday of this week, but re-
ceipts have been light since then.
Receipts of cattle at all the
markets the first of this week,
were very light, as railroads were
unable to handle very much BUSH
ness, owing to wash-outs. In
consequence, the market was
very active on Monday, and
prices were % to 30 cents higher
than on the previous Monday, eX-
IRENE cases showing more gains
than this. Some of the best
steers that have been offered in
Southern Division this season,
were on sale Monday, i. g. the
prize cattle from the Chickasha
Fat Stock Show, . year olds
weighing 400 pounds selling at
$500, and yearlings $50 pounds
at 81 60. The market Tuesday
was 10 cents higher than on Mon
day, but increased receipts since
then Mt all the markets have
caused decline; still prices at
close of market today are 10
cents higher than Il week ago.
Outside Prize cattle steers have
sold from SO 80 to 81 30. Very
few cows or bulls have arrived.
Sheep receipts are dropping off
rapidly, and prices are advancing
Bulk of the receipts is wooded
stuff, although at this season,
clipped stock should be in the
ajority. No Texas or Arizona
stuff has arrived as yet, and re-
ceipts are sure to be light fc r
several weeks, with prices cores
pondingly high. Wethers and
ewes are particularly scarce, and
are wanted. Clipped Western
wethers bring So Is to 5.25, and
clipped ewes 1915 to S4.S5. Best
Western clipped lambs bring
So so to 5.65, while the choicest
Colorado wooded lambs are sell
ing at Sc. 65 to 6.75. Dealers adj
wise Southern shippers to forward
stock if fat, hut are also of the
opinion that it IS safe to make
the stock fat before shipping, as
prices will hold up, and half fat
stuff arrives at the market in ex-
ceeding bad condition, and sales
are apt to be unsatisfactory.

The Stockman Journal of

The Stockman Journal of FIT.
Worth, says:
The San Angelo Standard has
some evidence that there is pri-
vate understanding between pack
ers with reference TO buying
stock at the markets, and says /:
"A San Angelo sheepman had
several cars of muttons i'll Fort
Worth. Representatives. from
each of the packing houses there
looked at them. Only one of
them made him an offer. lie
sold one car to the only bidder.
Another packing house man
shortly after the sale had been
made, hunted him up and offered
him lower price for another
car, the muttcns being all the
same grade. lie declined the
offer, asking the same price. The
buyer was candid. probably not
being DESTROYS of double dealings,
and frankly told him that he
would not give it, but would take
half of those S. bought. All
of which he made good" This
might be used as corroborative
evidence, but the packers in this
instance do no more than an in
dividual might do. The buyer
that made the cheaper offer
would have testified on the stand
that he considered his bid all the
sheep were worth. Then what
are you going to do about it?
Why not give credit to the
right paper, brother?

Pond Creek, okla, Feb S--In the
case of Territory VS. Thos Tucker,
charged with wilfully obstructing a
public highway tried in the probate
court of Grant county, Jan. 2S, a YER
dict of guilty was rendered and a fine
of 35 ana costs was assessed against
defendant from which decision an ap-
peal was taken to the district cour
This case is important because Of the
fact that 1t involves the question Of
the right of the public to a road along
the line between the state of Kansas
and the Territory OF Oklahoma. At
torney General Roberts rendered an
opinion that there was no road there
and while it may take other proceed
ings to get the case before the su.
preme court of the territory it was for
the purpose of testing this question
that this action was brought.
The whole boundary line of the ter
ritorY Is involved and should the
county lose in the court Of last resort
it will mean that It must buy a road
along the entire north line of the
county and that all other counties bor-
deriEg upon Kansas viii be compelled
TO do the same or all travel must be
suspended, for our section lines run
ming north and south do not meet
those in Kansas by about 40 rods.
To purchase this land would cost
this county about $4,000 and would
probably reach $4,000 in the territory
if }he various counties were compell-
ed to buy a road along the entire
boundary line of the territory.
The case win be pushed to a con-
cmsion and the public await the result
with interest.
