KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Special to the chieftain:

Special to the Chieftain:
Kansas City, Mo-, Monday.
Sept. 19, 1904.-Although cattle
receipts here and elsewhere were
the largest of the season last
week, all classes of killing stuff
sold 10 to 20 cents higher during
the week, and trade was active
every day. Stock and feeding
cattle sold Is to 30 cents lower,
most of the loss on light stockers
and stock calves. The Yards
were we'll cleared at the close of
the week, fortunately, as we
have 25, 900 fresh cattle here to-
day, with very heavy runs at all
the markets. OF course, although
the market is in shape to handle
big runs, which are expected, il
was hardly equal to the task to-
day, and prices are off 10 to Is
cents on all but the best kinds,
900 to 1000 lbs. Colorado steers.
Old Mexicos are selling at SO. 20
to S3.35, 1000 to 1850 lbs. native
Colorado at $3.50 to $3.50, 100
to 1900 lbs. steers at S3.40 to So. -
rs, cows and heifers S2.35 to So
25, Gamers S2.20 down, the latter
little better than before the
strike. Prime corn fed beef steers
gained 20 to 30 cents last week,
which encouraged feeder buyers,
who bought the large supply at
steady to Is cents lower than
previous week, but stock cattle
were neglected till the last of the
week, and until the price got
right, when plenty of buyers put
in appearance and cleaned up the
supply. Prices ranged from 50. so
to S3.75. Those acquainted with
range conditions do not look for
much change on Western and
Panhandle cattle balance of the
season.
Western sheep and lambs made
up nearly all of the 33, 700 head
that came in last week. Killers
took the lambs at 10 to Is cents
lower prices, but sheep were
steady, feeding sheep strong.
Run today is 10000 head, market
on sheep steady, lambs 10 cents
lower. There has been very
little change in price of sheep
and yearlings for two or three
weeks, yearlings selling at $500
to $3.50, wethers S3.40 to $500
and ewes at S3.25 to So. 40. 81 to
IS lbs. lambs bring SIS. 20 toss. 40,
feeding vearlings and wethers up
to $500, ewes around S3.25, and
young breeding ewes almost any
price up to S4.25.

SAFE BLOWERS In JAIL.
No Doubt That They Are the Gentry
Who Distinguished Themselves
at Waldo and Magdalena,
THEIR PANTS GAVE THEN AWAY.
They Waived Examination before Judge
Green Tuesday and WIN Await the
Grand Jury's Pleasure.

There is scarcely room to doubt
that the light fingered gentlemen
who robbed the Santa Fe station
at Waldo and blew the same com
pany's safe at Magdalena to
smithereens a few days ago are
now securely Gagged in the Socor-
TO county Jail.
Two men answering the descrip-
tion of the strangers seen at Wal
do and at Magdaleua, just before
the robberies at those places, were
arrested at Deming. One of them
was inclined to be warlike when
arrested, but his war spirit was
quickly quelled by the prompt
and business-like handling of
pistol by Sheriff Stevens of Luna
county.
The evidence against these
parties is strong enough to make
an excellent case in court. One
of them when arrested wore a
pair of pants stolen from the
express Office at Magdalena. The
pants were made by Chicago firm
for Mr.. Sedillo, the section
boss at Water Canon station.
These gentlemen of fortune also
had in their possession several
articles such as are commonly
used by burglars, but by nobody
else. They were also the posses
sors of a fine shooter" each and
plenty of cartridges.
The prisoners were brought to
Socorro and lodged in Jail. We'd
nesday they were arraigned before
Judge Green. They asked three
days postponement of the courts
action. This was supposed to be
for the purpose of consulting a
lawyer, but is now thought to
have been to gain time for an
outside pal to come to their
rescue. AT any rate, they waived
examination and were committed
to Jail in default of bail of 81 500
each.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
J. A. RIcKART,
L. S. CORRESPONDENT

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the eustachiau tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

DR.. EHMOES, U. S. GEOLOGIC SURVEY
Visits the School Of Mines aud Arranges
for Work Of Value TO New Mexico.


Dr.. Samuel f. Emmons. who
has general supervision of the
metal mining division of the
United States Geological Survey,
has been visiting New Mexico
during the past week, getting
data on the conditions of the
mining industry. This is to
form part of comprehensive
report on this subject relating to
the whole country.
Professor Emmons was all day
in consultation with DR.. Keyes,
president of the New Mexico
School of Mines, in regard to
this work, and also concerning
other work To be done bv the
Federal Survey in New Mexico
upon which DIR. Keyes is now en-
gagged
The u. 5. Geological Survey
will soon have two mapping par
ties in the field. One party car
ries the primary triangulation
and precise leveling from the
Gila Forest Reserve to the Rio
Grande, and thence up the river
to Colorado, where it connects
with precise work already done,
and the transcontineutal surveys.
This work will occupy all winter
and next spring.
A second party of surveyors
will leave Montana shortly for
New Mexico and will construct a
large-scale relief base of the
region around Socorro, and to be
called the Socorro quadrangle.
The geologic mining and econ
Omic features will be worked by
DIR. Keyes, Professor Gordon and
assistants of the School of Mines,
and transferred to the base-map
as fast as the field work is COM
pleted. This work is already
we'll advanced.
Another similar area including
the Magdalena mining district
will probably be then taken up in
like manner. DR.. Keyes has also
this work of the geological map
ping we'll in hand.
DR.. Emmons left last night for
Washington, d. c., but will re-
turn again to Socorro later in the
season for the purpose of visiting
certain mining districts which
he was not able to reach on this
trip.

NEGRO DELEGATES
AROUSE FEELING.
Officers of Church Where Y. N.
C. A. Convention is Being
Held Make 0biec.
tions.

Marshall, Mo-, Nov, 21.-Consider
able feeling was aroused am ong the
citizens OF this city here this morn
Ing on account OF the fact that six
negro delegates we're allowed to sit
among the audience at the session
Of the Y. NJ. G. A. conven tion.
The officers OF the Christian church
where the convention is being held,
met in session this morning, and q
majority decided that the negro
delegates must be placed in q
separate part OF the church during
the remainder of the sessions or hold
their meetings elsewhere. The Com
mittee on arrangements will comply
with the requests of the officers OF
the church.
An invitation had been extended
BY the ladies OF the city to allow the
delegates to be present at a 5 5o'clock
dinner in the Castle Hall this even
ing, but when it was learned that the
negro delegates expected to attend,
1t was specified that the negroes
should not come.
It was contended by some OF the
ladies that, inssmu h as other cities
had served the negro delegates in a
sepsrate room, the custom should be
followed here. This WAS resented by
many OF the ladies, who said they
would have nothing to do with the
reception, even though the negroes
be allowed TO eat in q seperate room
1t was finally agreed that the negro
delegates should not attend the
dinner.

REACHING THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Apparently the full Of the Merchants bridge
route to the Worlds Fair grounds, via the Terminal
Belt and Wabash lines, depends upon the accepta
bility of the proposed by the Wabash for the
use of Its tracks and station facilities As hereto
fore stated, the Terminal Railroad Association will
move trains from intersecting points the East
Side to the Union Station to the Wabash junction
at Page avenue for exactly the same charge.
There remains, therefore, only the increased ex-
pense of running over the Wabash tracks distance
Of seven miles to the Union Station. For this track
use and the privileges Of the Worlds Fair Station
the Wabash Company proposes to make charge of
10 cents per passenger. II the East Side railways
accept this proposition and absorb the charge In the
through rate st. Louis will have reason to COM
plain. If, ON the other hand, this charge is made
arbitrary addition to the regular ticket rate the
programme will be far less satisfactory.
While in large measure this matter must be
adjusted between the railway companies, it is one
in which the public have quite considerable con-
Germ. The proposed new route will undoubtedly
prove the preferable route and it will be possible to
run trains on a headway Of one minute That would
permit sixty trains hour II business requires,
though 1t is obviously necessary to get rid Of the
grade crossing at Delmar avenue in some way. 1t
will be unfortunate If anything arises to prevent the
fullest possible use Of this new route.
