CONFIRMATION ADMINISTERED
Catholic Church Receives Seventeen Into
Full Membership.

At the Catholic church Sunday fOre-
noon seventeen candidates were given
the sacrament of confirmation by Bish-
oP John Francis Cunningham, of Con-
cordia, bishop of the Kansas diocese.
Those who received this holy sacrament
were: Mrs Gertrude Butler, Katie and
Gertie Doerfer, Nellie DooIing, Ger
trude, Casper and Henry Brinkmier,
Willie Brown, Nellie and Clement Nick
les, Eva, Dora and Dell Beckett, Her
man and Minnie Kreuzer, Edna Lem
mer and Meldew Hayden Mr.. and
Mrs. J. V. Griffin acted as sponsors.
The church was crowded and the
music throughout the mass was good.
The service was long, lasting until 2:15
in the afternoon, but that was owing to
the examication of the class on ques-
tons from the catechism. The confr-
nation ceremony, the Amounting with
oil and the spoken words Of the bishop,
whose robes were gorgeous as well as
significant, was impressive.
After the confirmation, Bishop Gun
bingham in a short address told the
new-made members the life they should
live to be successful Christians. It was
words fifty spoken. Father Flemming
assisted IN the service.
Bishop Cunningham left Monday
morning for Norton to dedicate a Cath
Ole church in that city.

MINING COMPANY FORMED.
The Eclipse Mining Company Has Good
land Man in IL.

land Man in Il.
The Eclipse Mining company, with
its three claims in Chafee county,
Colo, and not more than one and a
half miles from the town of Granite, has
been formed, and subscription for stock
is being received. c. R. Fuller, of
Granite, Colo, mining engineer, is the
owner, and associated with him is a
GOOdland man, Engineer B. W Math-
ews, promoter of the company.
The new comPany's mining proper
ties are situated on Yankee Blade
mountain, and aresurrounded by paying
mines. The Eclipse has known veins
running through it, which, in adjoining
mines, have produced million dollars
worth of bullion. Assays have been
repeatedly made of the ore taken from
the Eclipse properties, which have re-
turned values from 50 to $40 per ton.
The promoters of the new company
will not incorporate until they are ready
to open the mines. The results secured
from this practically undeveloped
ground are very encouraging. Those
who desire stock do not have to pay
in their money until they have examin-
ed the properties and are satisfied that
it is a good thing. The stock is non
aSsessable.
Those who have given the mines
close inspection believe that proper
development will bring rich returns to
the investors

BEEF STEER AVERAGE IS s4.75
Biggest Shipment OF Hogs This Year AZ
feets Prices.

Kansas City, No, Nay 3.-Heavy
cattle receipts last Wednesday and
Thursday caused a lowering of prices,
and the gains of the first of the week
were lost, general market closing about
like close Of previous week, with she
stuff and stOckers and feeders possibly
a shade better. Receipts for two days
this week have not been excessive, TO-
600 head, but prices have been barely
steady, although no general loss can be
noted. Top steers brought S5.35 to-
day, Hereford steers and very choice.
Too many light to medium heifers ap-
Peared to-day and buyers bid 5 to 10
cents lower for them. Plain heavy
steers were also slow, but otherwise the
market was steady; $40 to S4.9 is
fsvorite price for fair to good beef
steers. Heavy cows bring up to $40,
heifers have sold in several cases past
week up to $40. Bulls range from
S2.65 to 3.S5, veal calves S2.75 to S5.z5.
Choice stockers sell up to $40, best
feeders around $50. Stock cows are
scarce and wanted at SIPS to S3.25.
Outside demand for killing stock is
good, and statesmen see no reason why
prices should not make some gains
during present month.
Hog prices are going down faster
than usual this week. Receipts are
heavy at all points, 81, 800 head arriving
here last week, the biggest week this
year. Market was off 10 cents yester-
day, and is weak to 5 cents lower to-
day, closing at the weakest point Top
price is S4.721z to-day, same as yester-
day, bulk of all sales at S4.55 to 81. 20.
Weights below 200 pounds sell up to
S4.65. Still further losses are expected.
Kansas and Colorado feed lots are
about empty Of sheep and lambs, and
the light run of 5000 last week met
with highest prices of the year. Lambs
sold up to S6.75, clipped lambs at S.,
ewes at $3.50, in fleece. Texas season
opened yesterday, and supply in two
days amounts to 1900 head. Prices
held up well yesterday, but are to 10
cents lower to-day. 1t is a fact, how
ever, that packers are anxious for kill
ing stock, and the mutton market is in
condition to stand heavy runs without
much injury to Prices.-J. A Rickart,
