Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 2. Heavy
cattle supplies and weakness in prices
have been the rule the past week.
Medium weight range steers selling at
1926 to $3.50, suitable either for pack
ers or for the country, had some advan-
tage in the competition. and held steady,
but common stockers and rough feeders
declined l5 to 25 cents, and sold mainly
at 1915 to 1928. Killers also sold low
er, at $500 to $3.50 mainly, and cows
also lost 10 to Is cents. including can
ners, selling at $2.25 to 2.65, with
few punches up to $500. Demand from
the country was better than any previous
time this season. and $50 car loads went
out. Supply of cattle today is 81. 600
head, about he same as last Monday,
but demand is better and prices steady
on everything, cows strong. and corn
fed cattle 10 higher Next week is the
American Royal Liye Stock Show and
sales. an event which always brings
large attendance of feeder buyers look
ing for high Class stuff.
Sheep receipts last week $1,000 head.
run today 70OO Prices declined Il to
% cents on killing sheep and lambs last
week, but demand from the country
was large enough to hold prices nearly
steady on that kind. A consignment
of IL doubles of breeding ewes from Ida
no sold late last week at 81 so, weigh
ing 102 ID. Feeding lambs sell at So. 90
to $500. Market today is strong, lambs
for slaughter at $500 to 1915, wethers
and yearlings 81 go to $500, ewes 81 90
to 81 40. Demand is plenty large
enough to absorb any runs likely to
come, and prices will be governed by
volume of receipts. as on that will de-
pend the amount of competition arons-
ed. That is to say there is no danger
of the market becoming demoralized.

If, however, he dribbled it out to
thousand different people and waited a
year for his pay he would not be able to
do any business but would be compelled
to go out of business and join the Grand
Army OF Tramps. A newspaper does
business on the latter plan. 1t has,
however, to pay for stock and material

Some SeosoDoble Advice.

Tt may be a piece OF superfinous advice
to urge people at this season OF the year
co lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken az soon as cod
settled In the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is SO widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hest

other. 1t is for sale by Ritter Bros Drug

BALES GINNED TO DATE.
Census Bureau and Cotton Ginners
Issue Simultaneous Reports.

Issue Simultaneous Reports.
The census bureau at Washington
Monday issued "a bull Aetin showing
the quantity of cotton ginned from
the growth Of 1905 to September 25
to be 2,35S,O31 bales.
These figures were compiled from
telegraphic reports Of special agents
of the bureau who have canvassed the
ginneries Of the various states and
territories and the report is one of a
series which will be issued regularly
hereafter until the completion of the
ginning of the crop of 1905. The re-
port is earlier than any made in 1904,
rendering comparison impossible.
The cotton report Of the National
Ginners' Association was also made
public at Dallas, Texas, Monday. It
indicates that ginning is from Is to
80 per cent over in the southern part
of the cotton belt = and there will
have to be late frost to make any
top crop at all.
Many gins are idle in some Sec
tions due to short and late crops.
Summarized the report shows that
29 per cent less cotton has been
ginned to this date than at the same
time last year. The condition of the
crop is 34.16 short Of last year and
there is practically no top crop.

REVENUE MEN GAFFED.
Ninety on Trial for Conspiracy ir
North CaroIina-One is Fined
S24,0oo and Goes to Jail.

At Greensboro, N. c., Monday morn
ing, the federal court, Judge J. E.
Boyd, presiding. convened in, regular
session.
Special interest attaches to this
term by reason of the fact that over
ninety cases involving revenue Off,
GERS are to be tried, the most i'm
po:tant of which are the cases
against G. w. samuels, R. H. Har-
den, Starkey Hare, l.. S. Davis, G. II.
Walker, J. W. Hasty and A. c.
Bryan, former revenue officers, charg-
ed with conspiracy with distillers to
defraud the government out of large
sums of money. These men were in
dicted at the recent special terms of
federal court at Greensboro, and are
all out under heavy bonds. The town
is filed with lawyers, witnesses and
defendants.
No cases tried in the state in years
have elected as much interest as
these.
The most important case disposed
Of Monday was that against D. l..
Arey. wealthy Salisbury distiller,
who was sentenced to pay fine of
$4,000 and serve a sentence Of three
months in prison, he having been con-
victed at the June term Of court in
Charlotte. Arey appeared and volun'
tarily surrendered himself and left
Monday night for Salisbury to serve
his sentence. He took with him s22,.
coo, the amount of the judgment
against him, and will also pay fine
of 5000 and costs, amounting to over
S1,6O0, making altogether over s24'
900, which this defendant pays to the
government.
Desperate efforts were made by
Arey and his friends to have execu
ton in this case stayed, but without
avail.

Insurance. eop!e Formed
Pool to Influence So|ons.
HAM LION WAS THE CHIEF
schiff Says Equitable Finance Gem.
m;ttee Wes Simply "Alt Hyde, All
Hyde and Alexander" and
No Others.

When the legislative committee On
the insurance investigation adjourn
ed; at New York Friday until We'd
>nesday, October. 4, it concludes a
week in which gre~Ser progress has
been made than in any week since
the investigation was begun. At Fri
days session, when Alfred W. Maine,
an associate auditor of the Equitable
Assurance Society, was called to the
stand it was disclosed that the EQuit-
able Life, the Mutual Life and the
New York Life companies had formed
a pool TO lcok after legislation before
the various state legislatures.
Andrew Hamilton, to whom Presi-
dent Mccall of the New York Life
paid several checks, was one Of the
chief members of the legal staff for
these companies and was employed
and received money for services from
the Equitable amounting to So, ,596
In eight years.
Edward I. Devlin, the real estate
manager Of the New York Life TO:
the United States a..d Canada, testi-
fed as to the cost of the building in
Paris. It was brought out that the
Paris building was carried on the
books Of the company at valuation
Of s1,102, ,604, whereas with the orig:
nal cost and improvements on the
building, actual money to the amount
Of s2.533,1O4 was paid, over $1,000
900 being charged OF the valuation on
the" books o. the company.
The most important witness was
Jacob H. Schiff, head OF the banking
firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. AS one
roint after another was brought out
he grew excited and vigorously de-
Tended his attitude while director
of the Equitable society and claimed
his firm had acted in a conscientious
manner in all its dealings with the
society.
MT. schiff asked to be allowed to
make a statement. He made an I'M
pass:ened attack on the state super
intendent of insurance and statements
he had made concerning Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. during the investigation of the
Equitable.
The entire finance committee was
at the mercy of one man. 1T was all
HYDE" said Mr.. schif, "all Hyde and
Alexander. Mr.. Hyce wrote the mes
sages regarding the offers made by
my firm for participation in syndl'
Gates. Mr.. Hyde signed all the re-
ceipts. Mr. Hyde wro,e all the let
ters."
In the matter of James H. Hyde
and associates syndicate, Mr.. Schiif
accused Mr.. Hyde of trying to shield
himself. He said: The vice OF the
entire insurance sisuation has been
irresponsible power
During the testimo ony, too, Mr.. Schiff
made the charge that the minutes OF
the finance committee regarding a
certain meeting were false. He later
qualified this, however, by saying ii
the transaction under consideration.
one in Union Pacific preferred, was
actually made, he did not hear it,
though he was present at the meet.
