FEEDERS BUYING CATTLE.
Illinois. Iowa and Missouri Stockmen
Purchase Animals at Kansas City.

Illinois, Iowa and Missouri Stockmen
Purchase Animals at Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 10. -(Spe-
ciaD - Quite number of Illinois
Iowa and Missouri feeders purchased
cattle here last week. Since the strike
began about four weeks ago, commits
sion men have advised shippers not to
send in anything except those kinds
of cattle that could be handled by
butchers for immediate consumption,
that is, good quality killing cattle For
that reason not many stock and feed.
ing cattle have been coming for some
time, but last week moderate ship
ments of this class were received.
Commission men here held orders for
good many cattle, as soon as the
price should get right and they
thought last week a good time to fill
part of their orders. A total of 49,
173 head Of stockers and feeders were
shipped out from this point last week
to the country of which Illinois took,
2,S52 head Iowa 896 head and Mis-
souri, 5,006 head, the balance going
to Kansas and other states.
A good medium set of feeders was
bought last week at $500 to s3.25.plain
stockers for $3.50 to $500 while a
good fleshy set of feeders suitable for
a short feed and of good breeding and
we'll colored were secured for $4 to
s4.40. Several droves Of good quality
Panhandle steers, thin in flesh, weigh
ing around $50 pounds sold at $3.10 to
$325. Heavy wintered western steers
we'll bred 1.15O to 1850 sold at 1915
to s4.25 and good western stockers at
$2.25 to s2.75 1t was the opinion of
most traders that fair to good stock
steers were selling last week at the
lowest point of the season. AS a good
many stock and feeding cattle have
been held back on account Of strike
conditions, the run of the same will
be heavy at this point from this time
forward, and it now looks as though
those who have either good corn
crop or plenty of roughness could get
their cattle this season worth the mon
6y.

Need a Mausoleum.

The needs of a mausoleum or receiv-
ing vault at the city cemetery are felt
daily. There is no place to rest a
dead body that is to be later removed
to another city for interment. This is
now the case more often than former
Iy. With SO many families living here
temporarily during the work on build
ings at the Naval Academy, some
deaths must necessarily occur, espec-
ially among infants. The parents not
wishing to inter the remains here, but
to remove them later to their own
burying ground somewhere else. find
it very annoying and inconvenient
not to be able to place the dead body
of their loved one in a mausoleum. The
vaults at the cemetery is full, besides
it is damp and out of date, and it
would be a proper thing for the ceme-
terry committee to have a receiving
vault or mausoleum built at once.

HORSE FALLS IN A WELL.
An Accident Occurred At The
Millersville Festival
Yesterday.

What might have been q very SER
ous accident occurred last night at
MillersviiIe on the grounds of Cecil's
Grove, where the harvest festival was
held.
A horse and trap driven by Mr..
William 4. Feldmeyer, Jr., of Col.
Iege avenue, containing himself and a
Young lady visitor from Washington,
drove upon the grounds after night
fall In the centre of the grou unds is
an old well, now unused and covered
with boards, over which was placed
a lot of brush. Every resident of the
Millersville vicinity knew of this we'll
and its locality, but to strangers not
familiar with the country it was de-
lusion and snare.
As Mr.. Feldmeyer drove into the
grounds, not knowing of the existence
of the we'll, and not being able to dis
Germ anything strange in the appear
ance about the place owing to the
bright lights facing him and obscuring
his vision, he drove his team directly
into the well, and the horse fell
through the boards up to his neck.
The occupants of the carriage got out
and were unhurt, but somewhat shaken
up by the unexpected accident to the
horse. The animal rested in his un-
comfortable position for some time nm
til ropes were procured and with the
assistance of several men he was re-
leased from his perilous position.
Strange to say the horse was uninjur-
ed except for slight scratch on one
leg and the harness was not broken.
The horse was driven today. The
accident caused quite a little excite
ment and q crowd soon collected.
By singular coincidence as Mr..
Feldmeyer turned his horse to leave
the scene of the accident one Of the
wheels of the runabout ran into an
other ditch or portion of well cover
ed over with brush. He quickly pull
ed out and averted second accident.
Three wells and an ice house are said
to be located close to the one Of the
accident. Mr.. Feldmeyer desires to
thank all those from Annapolis and
Millersville who assisted him in get
ting his horse ont of the we'll and who
otherwise rendered aid. Miss Little.
of Washington, the young lady accom-
panying Mr.. FeIdmeyer, exhibited
great composurs at the time of the &C.
cident and her calmness was remarked
by many. She never lost her head fol-
minute nor became IN the least ner.
vOus.
