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

Kansas City, Mo, April 3O.-Specu- 1ators were very active in the country week before last. and as nearly all the cattle were bought for delivery last week. the market could not stand up on account of the liberal receipts. The run was not excessive, but following as it did. a week of fairly good re- ceipts, buyers held the whip in hand and the market crumbled away all through the week The total loss was 20 to 50 cents. good to prime cattle losing least, as is always the case. StOckers and feeders were not much wanted, in view of the discOuraging fat cattle market. and suffered in av- craze loss of p cents. Representa-
 ton of cattle from the range country in the west and southwest was light
 Oklahoma contributed the largest va riety, ranging from prime branded steers at $6.S0 on down through all the grades. Hayfed Colorados sold to the killers at $4.65G 5.1O on Thursday. which was at the bottom of the de- cline. Horns and brands were dis criminated against more than usual by stocker and feeder buyers, who had an opportunity to pick around. 4 good clearance was made by the end of the week at e full range of $3.25@490 for western feeders and stockers. The sup ply now is lighter all around and pros poets look brighter for this week; mar ket was strong yesterday, showing best at the close.
 The mutton market broke in the east early last week, but the break was not felt here till Thursday Trade was brisk all week till near the end, but closed dull. Net loss for the week 10 to 15 cents. Texas grass sheep were expected late in the week, but none have arrived as yet. Some ewes fed al Carlsbad. New Mexico. weighing S3fb, sold at $4.6O. and clipped lambs from the same locality, 6Sfb, at s5.75. Lambs in fleece, 69fb, sold today at S7, clipped wethers at $5.25. A full range of prices just now on the different classes, in cluding clipped fed stock, which will predominate from this time forward, and that in fleece, is, lambs S5.6O67.30, yearlings $5.25@6.5O, wethers $505.SO, ewes S4.4O65.5O. Spring lambs sold last week around $S. Texas and Ari- zona grassers will have to be depend ed on to supply the demand for some months now, as not over 20 per cent of Colorado stock in feed lots remains to come, and local fed stuff is about all in.

to two or three samples which are
 bound to be favOrites. As soon as the
 result is sent to Washington these un-
 known favorites are taken up with re-
 gard to the way they have stood the chemical test and the contract is awarded. In this way it may happen
 that the lowest bidder often is not in the running when it comes to making a choice, for the combined judgment of number of men has been required to determine the successful bidder.
 In the early days of the navy to- bacco was supplied to the sailors as a portion of his daily ration, but that was abolished forty years ago. Instead of giving him an indifferent article free, the government now insists upon the best, and then sells it to the sail or at the contract price, plus a very small per centage to cover the cost of handling. This is the tobacco that every man of the navy smokes and cheWs when he gets it from the naval stores On board ship and at can teens, however, all the well known fancy brands of smoking and chewing tobacco can be purchased by officer and sailor alike, provided only he has the price. Uncle Sam exercises every care to provide his sailors with the best and the specifications provide that the tobacco shall be manufactured from pure leaf tobacco of the growth of the current or preceding year in which the contract is made and which shall have undergone a natural sweat. Deliveries are made at the New York navy yard fifty thousand pounds at time.

HUNTERS IN CHURCH
A Colorado School House
 Saw Unique Service.
The President and His Party in Runt- ing Costume Attracted a COngrega- ton from Miles Around.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, April 3O.- Unique in the history or Colorado was the church service held at the Old Blue school house on the West Divide creek, which was attended by Presi- dent Roosevelt and his hunting party and all the ranchmen and their fam flies for miles around. The little dis trict school building was not a tenth part large enough to accommodate the congregation and as a result the or gan was moved to the platform in the front. On this platform seats were provided for the president and his party, Rev. Horace Mann of Rifle, Col, who preached the sermon, the choir and the trustees of the church. The members of the congregation stood or sat on the ground or in their convey ances which were grouped around the building.
 The sermon by Rev. Mann was of an unusual kind. It began with a story, teemed with slang of western flavor and was full of advice suited to congregation inuring itself to the hardships of mountain life. It touch ed upon the responsibilities of the po- sition of the president as well as the characteristics of some of the men who have occupied that exalted place. Af- ter it had concluded the president spoke for about ten minutes, and ex- pressed his we'll known views on good citizenship, the morality of man, pa triotism and duty to home and coun- try. He was cheered heartily through out his remarks.
 After services were concluded, he shook hands with every man, woman and child present. The services began at II o'clock. Long before that hour ranchmen and their families began to assemble. Many persons drove or rode on horseback from New Castle. Rifle and other towns from five to ff- teen miles away.
 The presidents party presented a picturesque appearance as they came up. All were on horseback and they were dressed in their hunting clothes.
 The courier, Elmer Chapman, ar rived here tonight from Camp Roose- welt The presidents hunting party had an unsuccessful day yesterday. bagging only one bob-cat. The hunt CTS have not fully decided upon the question of moving camp. Game is so plentiful on West Divide creek that they may remain there for the balance of their stay in the mountains, though they have been planning to go to the head Of Garfield creek, about fifteen miles from the springs, early in the week. There is one objection, how ever. at least two days would be lost in making the change. Secretary Loeb will visit the president tomorrow in company with Chapman.

4 BURIAL OF MINERS
Thirteen EntOmbed in an Oklahoma
 Coal Mine.

Wilburton, Okla, April 3O.-Thirteen miners were entombed and probably killed by an explosion at 1:20 this morning in the Katy Coal company No. 19 mine, four miles west of here. There is little prospect of their bodies being recovered for several days. The men went into the shaft at midnight.
 Foreman William Ray of the shift that left the mine at that hour, states that the mine was in good condition and that a gas explosion was hardly possible. His shift left a shot hang ing which the new shift may have fired. It is suggested, from the force of the explosion, which could be heard miles around and which tore heavy timbers aside and piled tons of dirt in to the shaft that a bad shot had set off some dynamite stored conveniently for the work in pushing entries.

A BIG TOBACCO BUYER
How Uncle Sam Tupplies His Sailors
 With the Weed.

Washington, D. C., April 3O.-(Spe- cial)-The office of the supply clerk of the navy department a day or two ago looked like a tobaccOnist's shop. This was due to the fact that bids were being opened for tobacco for the off, cers and men of Uncle Sam's fighting ships, and every bidder was required to submit a sample of each class of tobacco included in his bid. The sue cessful bidder will secure a contract for 15O,000 pounds, and in November next bids will be called for another supply in like amount. This tobacco consists of plug cut" and can be used for either chewing or smoking. The contract will be let, not necessarily to the lowest bidder, but to the one sup plying at the lowest price the grade best suited for the purposes. The present contract for tobacco was se- cured on a basis of 40 cents a pound
 Twenty bids were made by nine different manufacturers of tobacco, as follows: Butler & Boscher CO, Rich mOnd Va. S4, 34 1-2, 35 cents; P. LOT illard & Co.,, Jersey City, N. J., 31 1-2, 80 1-2 cents; Lupfert Scales CO, Win stOn- Salem, N. C., 40 1-2 cents; Larus & Bros. Co, Richmond, Va, SS, S9, 40. fl cents; Manhattan Supply Co, New York City. 35 1-2. S7. 5S, 39 cents; R. A. Patterson Tobacco Co.,, Richmond, Va, 36, 3S 40, fl l-2 cents; Ruc1er & Whitten, Richmond, Va, SS, 40 AZ, 46 cents; United States To- bacco Co., Richmond, Va, 3S, 29, 70, fl cents; Wright Caesar Tobacco Co., Richmond. Va, 45, 4S cents.
 The successful bidder will not be known for about three weeks and the method by which the result is reached is unique. The samples supplied by the bidders have the factory labels removed, secret Identification marks ply division being substituted. One sample of each of the tobaccos thus marked is sent to a chemist for anal ysis and a gOodly supply of the to- bacco travelling ''incog'' is sent to the cOmmandant of the Brooklyn navy yard who will appoint a board of five officers whose duty it will be to de- termine which of the tobaccOs come nearest to meeting the requirements. Many officers and almost all sailors chew, so that it will be an easy task to give the weed a thorough test. In addition to the Judgment of the tobac- co-chewing officers, the opinion of the 'jackies" will be taken into considera- tion and samples furnished by the bid ders will be distributed among the ordinary sailors.
 Final results are reached by the process of elimination. until the se- lection of the chewers dwindles down

Backed up by over a third of century

fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea

ask is fair and reasonable trial of their

DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively wonan's tonic on
