GREAT GAMES OF BALL
The Hot Springs and Fort Robinson Ball
Teams Played Two Great
Games Here.

Teams Played Two Great
Games Here.
Saturday afternoon, the Hot Springs
and Fort Robinson teams met on the
diamond here and engaged in fierce
struggle for supremacy. From the
start it was evident that both teams
hal donned their batting clothes
beforehand. and the way they swatted
the sphere was caution, both pitchers
being at the mercy of their opponents
throughout the game.
The fun started with the first ball
that was thrown over the pan when
one of Fort Robinson's colored boys.
lined it out for safe hit, this was at
once followed by another and the first
man scored. Hot Springs did practi-
cally the same thing in her half of the
first.
But it was in the last half of the
second that the home boys started the
real excitement by landing for singles,
doubles and triples until they had put
eight men around the circuit. They
secured another in the third, drew a
blank in the fourth, one run the fifth,
blanks sixth and seventh, and three
more scores in the eighth, these we're
made by Coe smashing out home
run with two men on the sacks ahead
of him which were required at that
stage of the game in order to win.
The Fo,I Robinson boys got one in
the first. 5anks in second and third
one in the fourth, none in the fifth or
si~.E, one in the seventh, but in the
eighth they jumped on Hoye and
Strengthened his twists out in great
shape, making two home runs and
bringing in seven tallies, and in the
ninth two was all they could muster.
The game closed with Hot Springs
the winner by a score of Ii to -.

ate the belief that matters have pro-

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City. Mo. Jan. 31.-Cattle- Receipts at Kansas City last week were 45.S00 head, including calves. .5,- 900 head more than the previous week and 6,000 more than the same week last year. This was the largest run since the range season closed. A much larger percentage of stockers and feeders arrived than usual at this season, and declines were met with every day up to Thursday, amounting to from 20 to 40 cents. Fed western steers also declined daily till Thurs day, losing from 15 to 20 cents Cows were off 10 to 20 cents. Friday the run checked up and there were TO further losses. Conditions yesterday were exactly the reverse of those of last Saturday, and more than half of the losses in values of the whole of last week have been regained. Fed western steers sell from $350 to $40. A nice string of about 100 white face feeders from Colorado, weighing around 800 pounds sold at $4.5O This was 15 to 9 cents more than they would have brought the middle of last week. Fair grades of stockers and feeders bring $325 to $375.
 Sheep-Receipts here last week were 21,0GO head, about like previous week, and also the corresponding week last year. Packers started a big cry about breaking prices on account of heavy supplies in the east but al the end of the week prices were only 15 to 25 cents lower than at the high time
 The supply is liberal at 5000 head and the market is 10 to 15 cents higher Prices on western ewes and wethers are the same as at high time, namely S4.00 for ewes and $4.50 for wethers. Top lambs today $575; yearlings $5.15. Practically no feeding stock has arrived within the past several weeks. The sheep run has fortunately been very consistent here, averaging four or five thousand each day during recent weeks, market in this wey es- caping bad effects of excessive runs.

THE FIGHT HARDLY BEGUN
There Is Little Prospect That It Will
 De Peacefully Ended.

Indianapolis, Jan. S1-The mine operators and miners here attending the joint wage conference spent the day resting.
 The joint wage scale committee will meet tomorrow and begin an active discussion of the demands of the ope- rators and miners, which are widely separated.
 The outcome of the present confer ence is being watched with keen in- terest.
 IL is understood that the operators are more in earnest about their de- mand for a reduction than ever be- fore and they will fight for it. There is a feeling also that the miners are firm in their demand for their scale on a strictly run Of mine basis. a fiat differential of seven cents and uniform wage for outside employment. The battle has scarcely begun.
 More or less apprehension is being shown on both sides. Should it happen that no scale can be agreed upon it will mean a great strike in the com Dettive field.
