Live Stock Markets.

Special to the Tribune.
Kansas City Stock Yards. Aug. 5, 1907
"A large reduction in cattle receipts last
week, as compared with the previous
week, enabled statesmen to secure advan-
ces on all kinds, ranging from 10 to %
cents. The supply is 1900 today, sew
eral Thousand less than was expected
and the market is firm. A feature lately
is the strong demand for country grades,
this class showing most advance last
week, and supplies below actual require.
ments. One train OF medium class Col
orado stockers came in last week and
sold at 1885, but the movement from the
west is not started as yet. A train OF the
Parsons beef steers are expected today
or tomorrow. which will give pretty
good line on the market as compared
with last year; they are expected to sell
at s4.75 to $500, if as represented. Top
fed steers today sold at s715, and bulk
of grass cattle from native territory
brought s4.6o to $3.50, native feeders up
to 1915, bulk Of stockers and feeders
s3.75 to s5.15, grass cows s265 to s425,
heifers up to S4.75, bulls $3.50 to $3.50,
veal calves % to 80 cents higher than
week ago, at $3.50 to 1925. Receipts
from quarantine territory are only about
one half as heavy as during July and
volume of supply from that section will
continue moderate till the close of the
season, in October.
Sheep receipts are extremely small,
only 14,0O0 head here last week, and
2,5OO here today. The market made
gains at the close of last week and is
firm today, top lambs s765, Colorado
spring lambs today at $3.50, Colorado
ewes $500, top native ewes $3.50, weth-
ers worth up to 1886, and yearlings
s6.2o. A bad break in eastern mutton
markets last week was almost unobsery-
ed here, as the outlet to other sections
from this point has been sufficient to alb
sorb all that came at strong prices. A
few Arizonas were included last week,
but supplies we're mostly natives. There
is strong inquiry for stock and breed
ing stuff, and this would sell almost on
the same basis as mutton grades.

Random Thoughts

A new form of sickness has appeared
at one of our neighboring towns and it is
said that there are several very bad
cases. 1t is known as morbus sabbath
Gus, or Sunday sickness, and is disease
peculiar to church members. The at
no symptoms being felt on Saturday
night; the patient sleeps well and awak-
ems feeling well, eats a hearty breakfast.
but about church time the attack comes
on and continues until services are over.
Then he feels easier and eats hearty
dinner. In the afternoon he feels bet
ter and is able to walk, talk politics and
read the Sunday papers. He eats a
hearty supper, but about church time
he has-another attack and stays at home.
He retires early, sleeps we'll, awakens on
Monday morning refreshed and able to
work, and does not have another attack
OF the disease until the following Sun
day. a similar disease is quite preva-
lent in Ebert
There is something quite touching in
the loyalty of the average country news
paper to the town in which it is pub
lished, and the lack of appreciation it
meets at the hands of the people and
interests it SO nobly supports and heralds
abroad, says an exchange. In the course
of a week we look over many weekly
newspapers, each one claiming that its
town is the best in existence, its people
the most cordial and progressive, its bus
mess advantages and resources without
a rival; and yet, columns of the adver-
tising space Of those same papers are
necessarily devoted to plate matter be-
cause many Of the business men take its
efforts as matter of course and feel no
obligation toward its support. The ed
tor's desire is to serve the town in which
he lives and those with whom he chances
to mingle, and he is truly deserving of
better encouragement and support than
he too often receives.
The people of this section OF Colorado
have splendid cause this year to feel op-
timistic as regards the business condi-
tions. Our crops are all very good, the
outlook for wheat, oats and potatoes be-
ing far better than was anticipated six
weeks ago, and the outlook for corn in
the districts lying to the east of us is also
very promising. The prices for all farm
products and stock are extraordinarily
good, and as result the business men,
especially those that make the proper
effort to secure trade, will enjoy good
business this fall.

The daily sentinel., 1907-12-10

The first announcement of the
most deplorable tragedy reached the
city last night la a message to The
Sentinel. and the details, here given
for the first time, are most pathetic,
The tragedy cast pail of sorrow
over Rifle, one of Grand functions
nearest neighbors. The bereaved
family is well known iii this city.
Sunday afternoon late the two lit
tie sons of Lewis Plummer, well
known ranchman residing just on the
outskirts of Rifle and formerly In
the meat business in Rifle, were play
ing in the kitchen of the home. In
some manner they had secured pos
session of a 20 caliber rifle belong
ing to Mr.. Plummer and playfully
proceeded to load the barrel with
grains of wheat. The little fellows
did not believe that the gun was load
ed
After the barrel of the gun had
been stuffed with the grain, Bert, the
younger of the brothers, took the gun
and, playfully pointing II at his bro
ther Louie, said: "NOW l AM GO
ING TO SHOOT YOU" He pulled
the trigger. There was sharp re-
port, and, with a cry of agony. Louie
fell to the lloor mrgtally wounded.
1t was the old, old story: the gun
thought to be unloaded had proved
20 Oe loaded, aJd aisJtiier- tragedy
had been added TO the long list OF
sad deaths brought about by the al
legged unloaded gun.
