George Gleeson, a liveryman of St. Joseph, Mo-, leaned far out of the sec ond-story window of his mother-in- laws home here, today. and cut his throat with razor from ear to ear in sight of several hundred people who had been attracted by Mrs. Gleeson's s screams.

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

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 1.-Cattle re- ceipts dropped down to about 25,O00 head last week. and as the demand did not show corresponding shrinkage, the markets were fairly active, and killing cattle gained 15 to 25 cents during the week The better demand from pack CTS is encourag aging, and if receipts are moderate this week a fairly good run can be handled next week without hurting prices. A few shipments of good steers from western Colorado sold at $3.75 to $4.25, and heavy cows at $500, but most of the range stuff was medium to common quality. Stockers and feeders held about steady, but more common stuff was in cIuded than usual, and the range of prices was wider, at $2.75 to $4.O0. Stock calves sold 25 to. 50 cents lower, and were dull, at $2.50 to $3.75. Re ceipts of cattle yesterday were 2.000 head; market steady. Buyers and salesnlen made terms quickly yester- day, and business was over before noon.
 Mutton and lamb prices remained unchanged last week. Some nice light Mexican yearlings, from San Luis valley Colorado, weighing 76 pounds. sold at $5.50 and $5.6O, and were called higher. The best lambs sell at $650 for westerns, and nearly all of the good lambs sell above $500. Fair to good western yearlings sell at

NOTHING BUT DESPAIR.
All Hope of Relief Is Abandoned at
 Port Arthur.

Chefoo. Jan. 1.-Copies of the Port Arthur Novakrai, dated December 24 and 25, have reached here. For the first time since the siege began, the Novakrai, whose sole aim has been seemingly to inspire the garrison, be- trays signs of a pethetic hopelessness of the most heroic resistance.
 Discussing the battle of 203- Meter hill the Noyakrai says: "The hill re- ceived on it's breast a hammering of s00-pound shells which split even the rocks and went through 18-inch steel as through paper. Who but Provi- dence can save us from the thunder bolts?
 we do not expect the Baltic fleet. We do not expect relief, but we can fight till death. What Port Arthur goes through it is impossible to de- scribe, but Russia will know what her sons have suffered. It is past human genius to paint or describe Port Ar thurs suTeTinSs as they really are.'
 The lighting at 203-Meter hill, ac- cording to the Novakrai, lasted six teen days. until December 6, when death. which had no rest for sixteen days, ceased her work"

Meeting of the Doctor and
 His FinanCiering Frau
MINGLED JOY AND GRIEF
The WOman's Plea for the Confidence of the Husband-The Doctors Bail Bond of $10,O0O Was Made up and He Was Released.

Cleveland, ohio, Jan. 1.-Sherin Barry and Dr. Leroy $. Chadwick ar rived here today from New York. Taking a carriage at the Union sta tion, they were driven at once to the county jail, where a bail bond for $1O,- 900 was furnished for pr. Chadwick's s appearance in the criminal court next Tuesday, when he will be given pre- liminary hearing.
 The bail bond is signed by Virgil r. Kline, counsel for pr. Chadwick and also by J. P. DawIey, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick. As soon as the formalities in connection with the bond were completed, Dr. Chadwick was admit ted to the woman's department of the jail, where he held a long conference with his wife.
 Tn permitting Dr. Chadwick to visit his wife today Sheriff Barry may find himself in trouble with the federal au- thorities because of the visit between the physician and his wife being al lowed without formal application to the federal authorities and the neces- sary permit for the visit having been granted. Recently, Federal Judge Wing directed that no person be allowed to see Mrs. Chadwick without a permit in writing from the court or the Unit cd States marshal, the same to be asked for formally and in writing.
 The meeting between the two was pathetic in the extreme. Both broke down and wept convulsively for sev- eral minutes while clinging to each other. There was no artifciality about the scene. Genuine grief and genuine joy were intermingled. Little by little the first shock grew less se- were and the two sat down for a talk that continued for an hour and half. There were pleadings and partial re- sponses when the more serious pre- licament of the husband and wife was at length appreciated.
 Dr. Chadwick has lost his all in the operations of his wife, and along with It the independent fortune of his only child has been swept away. There was sufficient reason, it would seem, for some show of hardness on his part. Mrs. Chadwick tried to inbue him with the thought of her innocence of any wrongdoing. His only response to these pleas was: "I hope sO.''
 The troubles into which both have been plunged were thoroughly dis cussed. The wife told her story inter spcrsed by violent fits of weeping, in which at times Dr. Chadwick joined. There were no apparent evasions, but there were constant cries of '"Trust mel" Trust mel" on the part of the woman
 When Dr. Chadwick arose to leave the jail, Mrs. Chadwick apparently felt more severely than ever the deso- lation of her position. She knew neither that her husband was her champion and protector nor that his
