Small Proportion of Fat Heavy,
the Kind Most Wanted at
Present Time
EXPORTERS GOOD BUYERS
Cows and Heifers are in Fairly Active
Demand, But Suckers and Feeders
Are Weak-GeneraI Demand For
Hogs Continues Active at Advanced
Prices.

Chicago. Jan. 24.-Cattle-The mar
ket was slow at easy prices, with Il
very small proportion of fat heavy
kinds mostly wanted at present. Ex-
mand by eastern shippers is good.
Cows and heifers are in fairly active
demand, but stockers and feeders are
weak. owing to the large supply.
Trains were considerably delayed,
and an hour before noon about 1876
loads of stock were still back Demand
held good for all steers of a strictly
choice, smooth class. but the light and
medium steers that came late fell In
with many of that class that had
hung fire on the market all morning
and general trade in the plain and
medium classes of beef cattle continue
ing sluggish and unsatisfactory thru
out the day.
Hogs.
The general demand continues active
at advanced prices. There was hard
ly enough hogs of good quality to go
around today, and prices were strong.
Estimated receipts of hogs at the
opening Of the weeks market, $4,000.
being only about half of the 65,61S run
q week ago. The decrease in receipts
was partly due to the break in prices
caused by last weeks heavy run, but
good many traders felt it was due
largely to the fact that the supply Of
hogs of marketable weight is very
small and the mtlder weather lately
prevailing had tendency to make
holders keep the young stock.
Sheep.
There was a fairly active general
demand, prices ruling steady for fat
sheep and lambs and easy for thin
lots.

having state institution in our midst.
Then, instead of helping to pay this

other counties would pay this into our
county and our town. This would be a
school also for every person in the

for the girls aud boys OF Barton county
especially. Other girls and boys would
come also from other states and territor

A PLEA FOR THE NORMAL
COMMITTEES APPEAL To CITIZENS
OF BARTON COUNTY.
Gives Reasons Why Everybody In
This Locality Ought To Be In
terested In Gettlng Normal
For Barton County.

A committee OF Barton county citizens
composed Of a. j. Wray, w. X.
Crowther, T. W. Harkless, S. z. Finley
C.. ID. Goodmin, w. A. Martin, d. G'
Thurman, L. s. Wilson and a. b, Stone
makes the following appeal to the
citizens of Barton county in behalf OF
the normal:
Every farmer 10 the county
who desires to give his girl or boy
better education than he could give them
in the county school, can easily send
them TO the Normal at Lamar. They
could at least have their children
a mart of each week, as the distance to
drive would not be great, and they could
spend their Sundays at home at least
which IS great thing for the young
woman who goes away to school to not
be entirely from under the care and IN
huence of the parent and home, Again,
this education could be obtained 10 much
cheaper than by sending away to some
other point and paying out the money
iu some other county or locality.
Third, the large appropriation that
would be made 10y the state for tho
benefit of this school each year would
be of vast Importance to our county
This is a matter that would continue
from year to year, and when we look at
what the state is doing for other normals,
we can not fail to sec that 1t would be
great benefit. During the last session
of the legislature, they appropriated
for the Warrensburg Normal the follow
ing items: Teachers salaries, SlOO,OOo;
power plant, 81, 900, remodeling old
building Sl5 900; apparatus for gymnas
ium, $1,000; library, $500; general
apparatus, IS, 600; atheletic arena, $1,000;
new walks, 81 600; re eapportionment for
gymnasium, SIC, 0,2O3; to complete GYM
nasium, 10000, making total Of sl9o,
7O3, nearly 100000 per year. This
amount will increase instead. of decrease.
Then, 10 addition to that, we have the
amount that would be paid by the stud
ents, each one paying perhaps S2oo 10
$3.50 per year, which would be expended
in the midst of county. Then we would

Trouble The Result OF A Law
suit Between The
Parties

An exciting shooting NtFray occurred
at the Frisco depot Wednesday evening
says the Lamar Lender, as the parties
aud witnesses in Beaver, Surbrugg case
were on their way home. 1t appears AS

Beaver, who was the plaintiff in the
case against the Surbruggs for aliena-
ting the affections OF his wife, was at
the depot but he did not attempt to
board the train until it started. He
concluded to get on the smoker, it is
said, 50 that he might be away from as
many Of the Surbruggs as possible, hav
ing been told Of threats made against
him by different members of the Sur
brugg family.
Surbrugg remained on the steps Of
the smoker but Beaver got on aud cluug
to the iron railing. AS he attempted to
go up the steps it is said Surbrugg
struck him on the head and shoulders
with the heavy end of whip or short
club. Beaver crowded by Surbrugg
but before he got out OF his reach Sur.
brugg is said to have landed him a
heavy blow with his instrument that
knocked him to the floor Of the platform
just in front of the car door. Surbrugg
made for his victim who turned over
