Regulations for the observance
Lent have been promulgated by
Archbishop Keane and copies have
been sent to all the priests in the
diocese. The regulations are as
follows:
All week days of Lent are fast
days of obligation.
From this obligation many are ex-
cused by reason of youth, old age,

and plety.
Persons excused from fasting are
not thereby excused from abstinence
from flesh meat.

ing privileges are accorded:

are allowed flesh meat at meals on
days of abstinence throughout the
year except Fridays, Ash Wednes-
day, the Wednesday and Saturday

above stated, use it more frequently.
The Paschal time, during which
all are strictly obliged to receive the

ners of various nationalities be, as
far as possible, provided with con.

KILLS PANTHER MILE
AWAY IN MOUNTAINS

Gus arren, George eIgle and Bill
Holman have returned to Alamogordo
from their hunting trip through the
Sacramento mountains, going as tar
as the head OF the Sacramento river.
They report a big time. Holman, as
told by Weigle, killed a nine-foot pan
Their, a deer and took a number of
shots at other deer. Welgle and War
rem each got a deer. The panther,
though, seems to be the part of the
trip most interesting. Holman, who
had a large field glass, was scanning
the opposite side of a deep canyon,
when he espied some object on a
rock. He thought it was a wild cat.
and for luck, took a shot at it. The
object never moved, and to satisfy
himself, with the other boys, went
over to see just what 1t was, and
found to their establishment that Hol-
mar had really killed one of the lar
gest panthers ever seen in the Sacra-
mento mountains. The rife used in
killing the panther was fitted with tel
escops sights, and the distance from
Holman TO the panther was at least
one mile, making a remarkable shot.
boys spent n night looking for
bear, as the report got out in their

MARKET LETTER
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 16.-Last
week was a record breaker for the
season in the cattle trade at Kansas
City, with the heaviest receipts, ST.
600 head, including $4,000 calves, the
heaviest buying by packers, more
country buyers here. and the smallest
hold-over at the end of the week. The
American Royal show was itself a no
table event, and drew in a large num-
Der of feeder buyers. This combina-
ito nresulted in a general advance Of
from 5to 15c on all classes during the
week, besides the benefits accruing
from statesmen being able to make
ready sales all week. The supply to-
day Is $4,000 head. The market on
killing steers is weak to l0c lower,
all ether classes being steady. The
range stuff last week was Of better
quality than usual, and the bulk Of
sales of range steers was higher than
the advance would seem 10 justify, or
SO to S3.75, with most of the fair to
good steers, both killers and feeders,
at 1925 to S3.45. Cows gained ground
during the week, selling mainly at
$2.35 to- $3.50, with a few mountain
cows at $3.50 to $3.50; amer sold
at $3.50 to $40; calves advanced 25c,
nice light veals now selling at 80 10
S6.25; heavey ones, SO TO $3.50; bulls.
81 TO $2.35. The indications favor a
continued healthy market, with a de.
mand that can easily absorb any sup.
ply likely to come.
Sheep and lambs advanced IS to
25c last week and the market is
strong on sheep today; lambs are 10
to l5c higher; tpp lambs selling at
$7.25. The run last week was 43, 1000
head and the supply today is 5000.
The demand from all sources is prob
ably the largest ever seen in Kansas
City. others for slaughter sell al
S4.75 to s., yearlings up q 1925 and
ewes as high as $500. Packers have
not sorted very close and the stuff left
for feeder buyers has been pretty
ragged, but prices are strong al $3.50
10 So for lambs, s4.35 to SAYS for
wethers and yearlings; breeding ewes
at 81 TO $3.50 and a low class of culls
at S2.75 to $3.50. The phenomenal
growth OF mutton consumption m the
last few years shows no sign of abate.
ment, and sheep men are apparently
right i'm the midst of a long period of
prosperity.
