Denver Cattle Market.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, March
l2-The market was dull here last week
and about all classes of cattle closed Is
to Is cents lower than the proceeding
week, except the very best beef grades
There was good demand for choice
beef cattle and trade in this line was
fairly active. Good steers however,
closed about dime lower and common
ones are Is to Is cents down from
week ago. Packers are not paying
much attention to the half fat steers
and there is wide range in the price
between these and the good ones. Good
COWS sold well and closed about steady.
One bunch of fancy Wyoming hay feds
brought $4.65, the highest price paid
here this season for hay fed cows.
Others sold at 1916 and most of the
better killing grades brought $500 to
1885. Medium cows sold at $2.25 to
$500 and common stuff from 1925
down to $1.25. Common cows were
very dull and closed about quarter
lower. Bulls were in good demand and
sold strong. Veal calves were also in
good request, tops bringing e6.75, the
highest price of the season. The feed
er and stocker market was very dull on
account of the demoraliZed condition Of
the eastern markets. A very light de-
mand for feeding cattle is reported at
all points. Buyers here were bidding
cautiously as they have lost money late
ly on about everything bought here and
forwarded to other markets. Prices
closed about Is to rs cents lower than
the proceeding week. Most of the
weeks business 10 feeders and stockers
was done around $3.50 to s4.35. Re-
ceipts today were less than thousand
head, market quiet and about steady
with last week. ier ne l3
While the decline here last week
looks large it must be remembered that
prices held up well here the week be-
fore while other markets were lower
and cattle are selling here as well as
anywhere else.

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1906-04-17
IS HOCH wEAKEN4NG?

Is not the Kansas City Star mis-
taken in charging that Governor
Hoch is weakening in his administra-
ton? It says:
"A plausible dispatch IS that from
Topeka which says Governor Hoch
has weakened in his advocacy of a pri-
mary election law The governor weak
ened in the matter of Tom Kelly, in
the enforcement of the prohibitory
law. in the Standard Oil fight. in rail-
road rate legislation--in everything. in
fact, save his desire for a second
term"
AS a matter of fact. Governor Hoch
can make just as good a speech in
favor of honesty in state affairs as he
could before the Tom Kelly incident.
He can be just as forcible as ever In
lecture telling how to enforce pro-
hibition. He can take Standard Oil by
the throat when he is up before an
audience with just as much energy as
he did fifteen months ago. And the
Star will discover that he is as Wig
orous a regulator of the railroads as
its great and good friend, Mr. Stubs
and he does it the same way. too.
by the way.
How. pray, has Governor Hoeh
weakened? In what respect is he
different from what he was year
ago?
OF course we realize that Governor
Hoch is blest with an over production
OF good intentions, and he is a little
short on results; ne is long on prom
Uses but short on performance. But,
really. is he any different from what
he was a year ago? Has he really
xyea lened

THE SPRINGFIELD I,YgcHTNG

THE SPRINGFIELD LYECHING.
The series Of outrages committed by
the mob at Springfield, No, calls for
prompt and vigorous action on the part
Of the Missouri authorities, but Cover
nor Folk appears to be rising 10 the
emergency. Not only did he send six
companies Of militia to the scene Of the
disturbance to prevent further trouble
but he took immediate steps to discover
and punish those responsible for Satur-
day nights terrible lynching. He has
placed a reward on the conviction Of
each member of the mob, and he has
already sent a special attorney to assist
IN indicting the guilty parties
It is doubtful if there has ever been
a more terrible and disgraceful lynch
ing than that which was perpetrated
by the Springfield mob on Easter eve
At a time when most OF christendom
was looking forward to a bright Easter
morning, with its message of JOY and
good will, that mob at Springfield was
horribly numbering three men, at least
two Of whom are believed by the
authorities to have been innocent of
any crime.
The fact that a considerable number
Of men took part in the affair made it
none the less murderous. There was
no call for it. Doubtless the rest of the
world Will regard with horror civilized
America, where three men, possibly IN
nocent of wrong. can be hanged and
burned at the stake publicly by fellow
human beings.
It is high time that severe punish
men should be melted out to such muir
derers and that lynching should be
stomped out. The rest of the country
expects Governor Folk to do his utmost
to punish the Springfield lynchers. and
it has faith in his ability to accom-
ralfeh If
