Improved Market on Killing Steers
Is Due TO Scarcity.

KANSAS CITY, No, Oct 1O.-The
general situation in the cattle market
has improved quite a good deal in
the last ten days Country buyers
have bought more freely, and packers
have done the largest buying this fail
within the last ten days They pur-
chased more than $4,000 cattle yes
terday- The largest attendance OF
country buyers at the American royal
live stock show this week has been a
benefit 70 the market, as they come
in competition with the packers on a
good many cattle that in times OF
slack demand would 90 TO one or the
other without any question Receipts
Of cattle and calves were upwards OF
I 10000 head yesterday, and above 90
I 600 today, yet the market is steady 70
strong on everything at all desirable.
One reason for the improved mar
ket on killing steers the last week is
that good to choice fed steers are ex-
tremely scarce, and prime lots almost
entirely unavailable The top price
/ last week was $3.50, but a prime lot
Of HerefOrds sold at $500 yesterday.
Fancy fat steers at the show will prob
ably bring a still higher figure later
in the week Corn and grass steers
sell at S4-25 70 S5-25, straight grass
natives $3.50 to S4.25. Cows sold low
er late last week, but are strong this
week at S2-25 to sass for most Of
them, choice ones up to $500 or
S3-25, Gamers $1.65 to $2.2O, bulls

The best stOCkers and feeders are a
/ little higher, but the bulk sells at $2.75
to 1855, with good to choice natives
and westerns at 1878 to S4-25. Good
runs and a healthy market seems to
be the outlook just at present
Hog prices are going down steadily

A Scientific Test OF the Eject Of Sig

A Scientific Test Of the Effect Of Sig
mails Viewed From Fast Trains.
From Chicago Journal
For the purpose Of making eye tests
and studying conditions under which
train signals are displayed oculists
will be placed on the engines that pull
the fast trains on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad. The
tests will be made preliminary to q
revision Of the system Of examining
trainmen for defects Of sight and may
result in a change in the present man
ner Of displaying lights and sema-
phOre arms.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers is responsible for the proposed
unique test
The OcuIists will be instructed to
obtain necessary data upon which to
base proposed changes in the environ
ment and visual requirements OF rail-
way engineers and firemen.
The road men have complained
that their eyes are tested theoretically
rather than along practical lines. It
is said that men are examined for
eyesight and refused further employ
ment by the railroad companies when
they we're perfectly qualified for serv-
ice had they been given the proper
n
CIaredr have been accepted in certain
Instances when their eyes were not
up to the standard, so far as good
conditions were concerned, although
they could go through the tests given
them at headquarters.
The safety Of millions Of lives de-
ponds upon the ability OF locomotive
engineers to read and interpret cor
reCtly the various signals displayed TO
govern the operations OF trains
The two qualifications must be COM
D-ned in every man handling an en-
CINE to insure safety. Trainmen are
governed in the manipulation OF trains
very largely by signals.
With the assistance Of Leon B.
Clausen, signal engineer for the Chi
CagO, Milwaukee and st. Paul system,
an Oculist has devised a new series OF
semaphOre charts for testing the Wis
ion OF railroad employees.
Under ordinary conditions a six
car train, running at the rate OF sew
enty miles an hour, can be stopped
inside OF 1000 feet with the ordinary
brake and with conditions as they ex-
ist today with the modern air brakes.
Consequently a signal must be read
as few seconds are necessary for the
| engineer to shut on the steam and
apply the brake, and in each one OF
these seconds the train is covering
eighty feet

Newspaper Campaign OF the Railways
Against the Presidents Policy.
From Chicago Tribune.
The campaign which the railroads
have been carrying on in their efforts
TO change the trend Of public opinion
with regard to necessity Of rate Iegis-
latiOn as advocated by President
Roosevelt is becoming more active as
the date for the opening Of congress
approaches The Middle Western
states, which produce a large proper
ton OF the tonnage through their en-
ormOus crop yield, are being canvass
ed throughly by representatives Of
the publicity bureaus, which have
charge Of the PRONUNCIATION OF the
Official railroad ideas" and every
sort of effort has been made to in
duce newspapers to come to the de-
tense Of the railroads.

printing a dispatch from the Register
and Leader Of Des MoineS, dfvulged
the following state Of affairs and me-
thOds Of the railroads in conducting
this campaign:
Several months ago It became evil

and Of the nation proposed to effect
control Of public sentiment in Iowa
latest manifestation Of the pro-rail-
road and anti-Cummins bureau, as
the Register and Leader OF Des
Moines calls II, is in the written Of
fers to the editors to pay them for
the insertion Of editorial matter, de-
tending the railroads against the pop
ular demand for rate regulation by
congress.
"a Des Moines lawyer has sent out
n letter to the editors Offering to paw
Tor the insertion Of a propaganda, re-
eerred to as editorials, in the newspa-
oers with which he has correspondent.
Editors have received similar offers
from an agent in Chicago, who claims
TO be a member Of the Chicago Press
club. Eastern agents have called per-
| 5onally on some OF the editors OF the
state and tried to make contracts on
| the same basis. The existence Of a

DO YOU len or LIFT2
Kansas City World

From Kansas City World.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who writes
some good things sometimes, has a
poem on two kinds Of peOple-those
who lift and those who lean.
She says there are twenty Ieaners
where there is one who lifts
She is right
In every household there is some
one who is the main dependence
That one goes ahead with the work
carries the burden and the worry
while the others lean. Usually il is
the mOther-mOre's the pity-whO
does the lifting
In every business il is So One
takes the initiative, does the planning
He seems cut out for his task Of
leadership and voluntarily assumes
it The others depend on him. It is
50 much easier to follow than to lead.
In the church a very few do the
work and make the sacrifices Of
time and energy. The others lean on
the leaders.
The same thing is true in state
legislatures, in congress. A very few
men do the real work Of legislation
The others simply mark time They
lean on the strong spirits.
Are you lifting or leaning
There is a lot Of work to do in the
wOrld-nOt merely big tasks-cOm-
mon everyday work. And some do
more than their share because so
many shirk- There are tired, over
wrought souls who break under the
strain because so many lean upon
them
Is there some willing man near you
who is lifting more than his share OF
the load? Roll up your sleeves and
give him a lift
Is there some tired, worn, nervous
woman upon whOm-fOr shame!-
you have leaned too long? Turn in
and help the Overtaxed brave one.
Quit leaning.

realization of better forms of life. For Russia such an aim can be only the abolition of landed property. Only thus could the government, without as now, restricting itself to humiliatlng and compulsory concessions to factory workers and students, without fear for it's existence. be the guide of Its pco-
 pie and in very truth lead them.
 Your advisers will tell you that the
 liberation of the land from the right
 of property is a fantastical and unre-
 alizable idea. According to their opinion to force 100, 900 live people
 to cease to live. or to show signs or life and to squeeze them back into 9 shell out of which they have long ago grown-this is not fantasy and is not
 only realizable, but the wisest and most practical work. But one need only seriously reflect in order to un- derstand what is truly unrealizable, al-
 though it is done, and what on the contrary, Is not only realizable. but timely and necessary, although 1t mas not yet even been begun:
 Suggestions to Emperor.
 Personally I think that in our time
 landed property is as crying' and op- vious an injustice as was serfdom ht- ty years ago. think that it's abolt- tion would place the Russian people on high plane of independence, wei | fare and content I also think that this measure would undoubtedly de- stroy all that socialistic and revolu- | tionary irritation which Is now spread | ing amongst the workers and is likely | to be of the greatest danger to both
 the government and the people.
 But l may be mistaken, and the so- lution of this question in either direc- l ton can be given. I again say only by | the people themselves if they could
 have the possibility of expressing it. | So that at all events the first thing
 which now lies before the government | Is the abolition of that oppression
 which prevents the people from ex- | pressing their desires and needs. one l cannot do good to a man whose mouth | has been gagged in order not to hear | what he desires for his welfare. Only after having ascertained the desires
 and needs of your people, or of the
 majority of them, is 1t possible to rule | the people and to do them good.
 Dear brother, you have but one life
 in this world, and you can spend 1t
 painfully in futile efforts to arrest the | God-ordained progress of mankind
 from evil to good from darkness to
 light, or you may, entering into the
 needs and desires of the people and | devoting your life to their satisfac- l ton, peacefully and joyously pass 1t
 in the service of God and men.
 l However great is your responsibil- | ity for those years of your reign du- ring which you may do much good or
 much evil, yet still greater Is your re-

sponsibility before God for your life here, upon which depends your eternal life, and which God has given you not that you may order all kinds of evil deeds or even merely participate in them and permit them but in order to fulfil His will And His will is that good and not evil should be done unto men.
 Think about this not before the face of men, but before God-i. e.. your own conscience. Do not be troubled by those obstacles which you will meet, if you will enter upon this new way of life These obstacles will disappear Of themselves, and you will not notice them If only that which you do you will not do for human glory, but for your own soul.--i. e., for God.
 Pardon me if I have unintentionaliy grleved you by what I have written in this letter. I was guided solely by the desire of welfare for the Russian peo- pie and for you.
 Whether have attained this the fu- ture shall decide, which, according to all probability. l shall not see. have done that which considered my duty. Truly desiring your true welfare.
 Your brother.
