Kansas City, Mo" Thursday,
March 10th, 1904 Quarantine
receipts this week amounted TO
LOO head, II slight increase over
same days last week. The
market has fluctuated very little,
and averages steady for the week.
The supply has been mostly
steers, as usual, and has included
some of very good quality. Top
price for the week was 81 30, and
other sales were made at 81 10 to
i %. The week has been very
satisfactory to sellers, consider
ing the bad market at st. Louis.
Several split shipments between
Kansas City and st. Louis have
resulted favorably to Kansas
City. The reason for this is that
the supply here has been light,
and not any more than the de-
mand. Buyers were unable to
fiji all their orders III the native
division on account of light runs,
and have been good competitors
in Southern Division. Cows and
bulls have been scarce and
steady; cows sold from ~ 80 to
SB %, and bulls So 50 to SO. %.
The majority of steer sales were
at S3 so to $40.
The hog supp y has dropped to
II very low point this week here,
and also at all other markets =;
quality was also poorer, and
weights lighter, indicating close
marketing in the country. The
light run failed to benefit prices,

II regret TO note the feeling OF
pessimism that seems to exist
among some of your cattlemen,
We are simply going through one
of our periodical periods of de
preston in which all industries
are sharing alike. No class OF
business men are doing as well as
they were two years ago, But q
better day is dawning. With
good crops and the Presidential
election out of the way the tide
will turn. Tell your people to
stand bravely by their guns
There is nothing fundamentally
wrong with business conditions
We are suffering from overtrad
ing and overspeculating. W.
have been on speculative
debauch and this is the cold, gray
dawn of the morning after. Thu
cattle business is not going tC
perish from the face of the earth

Keyser, W. Va, Nov. s.-Former
Senator Henry G. Davis is putting the
finishing touches on his West Virginia
campaign by a flying trip over the
lines of the West Virginia Central rail
way. In speaking here to an audience
which filed the Music hall, Mr. Davis
said the trusts were all kept up by the
tariff, "altho,' said he, 'tas you know,
I am not free trader, I think the tariff

should be reduced, but without fear of
contradiction I will say that every one

Final Report Makes Recommend
atoms on Aldermen and
IL. County Commissioners.
SEVEN DEMOCRATS ARE
SAID TO BE ALI. RIGHT
In -Four Of These Gases, They Re-
ceive Preference Over Re-
pubicans.

The Voters league herewith presents
It's final report of the year. This re-
port deals with the records and qualif-
cations of the party nominees for alder
men and county commissioners and,
where possible, makes recommendations.
In two wards, the first and sixth, the
situation as regards candidates is such
that tho league is compelled to with
hold any Endorsements. None of the
candidates possesses the proper qualifi-
cations for service in the city council.
The eleventh ward presents two excel
jacobson and Wilhelm Peterson, and
the league takes pleasure in commend
ing both.
Of the remaining wards, the third
and tenth offer the clearest chance for
discrimination by intelligent and disin-
terested voters. In these wards there
can be no doubt Of the duty Of voters
to ignore party lines and send back
to private life Claus Mumm and James
Dwyer. Their retirement from the
council would work in the interests OF
cleaner politics, cleaner city and more
businesslike council administration.
There are prohibition candidates. IN
and eleventh wards. Investigation
shows that they are in no instance any
factor in their respective ward contests,
and they are therefore not discussed in
this report.
.. The County Commissioners.
The county commissioner situation in
the first and second districts calls for
the best efforts of every citizen who
wishes to see honest and capable county
government. Two unworthy candidates,
M. w. Nash and John P. Hoy, were hap
PLY disposed of at the primaries.
There yet remain A. L. Lennon of the
first district and Alderman Peter Mel
son of the second district. The same
measure Of effort at Hhe coming election
will eliminate them and assure good
county administration for the next two
years.

Shooting Which Involves
Reformer and Police.

New York, Nov. "a shooting ARRAY
with many features resembling the
highlander outrages of the San Fran

the death Of Mock Duck, one Of the

Mock was waylaid as he was passing

When his assailant, who was captured

The situation was becoming serious. A

SUMMARY OF WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

The fall Of Port Arthur seems
imminent. Detailed reports Of the
operations against the position In
dictate that the prolonged attack is
nearing its end and that the JAP
anese are now entering upon the
last stage Of the memorable siege.
For the first time the Associated
press correspondent with General
Nog1's army has been permitted to
send dispatches direct from Port
Arthur, and these show that prac-
tically all the outlying defenses are
in the hands Of the Japanese, who
are sanguine Of immediate victory.
The armies Of Oyanla and Kuro-
patkin still confront each other
along the Shak-he river, inactive
except for skirmishes and artillery
exchanges.

st. Johns, N. B., Nov. 3.-The
electors of Canada are deciding today
whether the government of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier shall be continued in office and
whether the Grand Trunk Pacific COM
pany shall be permitted to construct
transcontinental railroad, largely sup
ported by the federal treasury. The
campaign has been an active one and al
tho the indications at times have
pointed to the return of the liberal gov
eminent by reduced majority in the
house OF commons, a number of cOnfus-
ing elements has made the outcome I'M
certain.
The liberal majority in the late par
lament was 81. This majority, how
ever, was re uced to 48 at the close Of
the last session of the commons by the
pointed to office and thru the loss Of a
seat in a by-election in St. John.
The liberal party is depending for
ton Of the country. It also relies on
strong support in Quebec province,
where out Of sixty five members Of the
last parliament from that district near
ly sixty are. supporters Of Premier
Laurier. The conservatives have been
twenty-five members in Quebec today
and it is believed that success or
failure of their efforts in that province
will decide the result at large.
A Glance at the Field.
The Canadian parliament consists of
the senate and house of commons, but
senators are appointed by the govern
ment, and the government is the ex-
ecutive Of that party which controls the
commons. Put aside the senate, then,
