late Before the Ferret.
A Topeka dispatch says that an an
imal known as the ''black-foOted
ferret" is doing more to rid western
Kansas Of prairie dogs than was done
by the corps Of instructors at the state
agricultural college with anappropri-
alton Of $1,000 from the legislature
This is according to the statements
OF residents Of the western counties,
and instances cited by D. z. Lantz,
field agent Of the state agricultural
college in a recent report on the
kansas Mammals
The ferret made its appearance in
Kansas only about two years ago, but
Mr.. Lantz has found instances where
five or six Of them drove all Of the
prairie dogs out Of the county.
The ferret is an animal Of the
weazeI family, about IA inches in
length, OF a pale yellow or white
color, with red eyes Some one tell

than the state Of Kansas
The linotype was ordered April g.,
and shipped from New York City,
May s, arriving in GOodland Nay 19.
When the facts are considered that
the machine weighs a ton and that
it was shipped in seven big boxes, the
gentle reader will readily see that it
is no small job to erect and install
such an intricate piece Of machinery
comprising about 5000 different
parts.
The management Of The Republic
has for some time felt the need that

was a necessity-and if there is any
luxury connected herewith it comes
in on the side OF the linotype trust,
for the printer has to pay $3.50 for
a two-letter machine like the one
that has been installed in this Office
Besides that the expense Of freight,
metal, etc, brings the cost OF the ma
chine right around the $4,000 mark
While the linotype is a great labor

A continuance, therefore, OF the
very generous patronage Of the people

been in vain among the good people

too intricate and complex to describe

cation Of the Church which is to
save men from sin and to elevate hu-
mainly by the power Of the incarna-

one, and was made more impressive
by the stately bearing and dignity Of

As was told in the columns OF this
paper last week, it was learned from

''Alach" had been working at Den

KANSAS CITY MARKET.
The Condition OF Cattle, Sheep and
Hog Market

The Condition OF Cattle, Sheep and
Hog Market
Kansas City, No, May 23,-Last
week was more or less satisfactory TO
cattle shippers; heavy beef steers
selling about steady all week, while
the light weight killing cattle and
stOckers and feeders gained 10 to 25
cents The buyers wanted the cheap
cattle most and bought them first
Although the dressed meat trade is
said TO be still in an unfavOrabIe con-
dition, yet the cattle receipts here
last week were 80 per cent heavier
than same week a year ago and they
were handled at strong prices, and at
prices that averaged IS cents higher
than a year ago
The supply this week is even larg-
er than last week at $1,000 head for
two days Market was steady to 10
cents higher yesterday and that gain
was lost today Buyers were active
however, and the stuff sold readily at
the decline today. An extra large
percentage Of the receipts today are
good to choice beef steers and sew
eral sales were around $500, with a
price paid here in three weeks. Bulk
OF the steers sold at $500 to S5.S5.
Fat yearlings sold at $3.50, good heif-
ers bring $500 to s5-25, COWS $3.50
to S4-S5, veals $3.50 20 $3.50, bulls
$500 TO $3.50 Trade in stOckers and
feeders is usually the dullest OF the
year during Nay and June and this
season is not an exception Of the rule
Prices range from S3-25 to $500. A
London cable quoted an advance Of
cent on American beef yesterday and
il is conceded that there is much
better outlet for beef in the domestic
markets than a few weeks ago.
The hog market IS guaged almost
entirly by the volume OF receipts as
there does not seem to be any partf-
cular influence at work to control the
market either Up or down. All
weights are selling in the same notch
and quality is the only factor in max
ing the range OF prices Market is

a shade higher than last Tuesday,

muttons make up most OF the sheep
receipts and they are selling at s4-65
