Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. H.
The market on beef steers Is lower this
week. and has been unsatisfactory
since the middle OF last week Chi
cago had big run OF cattle yester-
day, and the cattle reporter Of the
Drovers' Journal, in a paragraph de-
scriptive OF the market there yesterday
started with the assertion that prices
on beef steers were 25 to 80 cents low
er than the middle OF last week, and
the more he wrote the worse he felt
about II, finally closing with the state
ment that numerous sales were so
cents lower than the best sales last
Wednesday. This bad condition has
been fully reflected here, but prices are
on Is to IS cents on steers The main
difficulty is that packers are unable to
move their product promptly account
Of shortage OF refrigerator cars. This
is a temporary trouble, and not near
ly as threatening as a bad condition
Of the demand at consuming centers
Run today IS 200 head, 1900 here
yesterday, top steers $500, as moth
ing fancy is included, bulk OF steers
S4-75 to $5-75- Cows and heifers have
class relatively small, and demand for
light weight cuts OF beef good, cows
at $3-25 to $4.S5, heifers $3.50 to
$500, Gamers and cutters $2.z5 to
$500, bulls S2.90 to 1926, calves shade
lower. $S.25 to 1926. Country buy
ers are taking offerings Of. their kind
Of cattle readily at steady prices this
week, stockers $S.25 to $3.50, feeders
$3.75 to $500 When conditions i'm
prove in the beef steer market, which
they are confidently expected to DO
soon, trade in heavy feeders will be
stimulated and prices on them viii
likely go higher
A run Of $4,000 hogs today was at
tackled by packer buyers with fine
spirit, sales strong to higher, top
$40. bulk Of sales s6.97h to sos,
light hogs $6-S5 to $7.O5, pigs around
$500. Supplies are rather heavier
than have been expected, and just
about equal receipts at this time last
year, yet the market is active at all
times, competition sharp, and urgent,
demanrs Of killers largest ever known
here Quality OF the hogs is good, and
there is nothing that would indicate
any reduction in supplies very soon,
which is matter Of surprise to most
traders here, as they had predicted
small runs for February.
A supply Of II, 900 sheep and lambs
was quickly taken yesterday at q small
reduction in lamb prices, sheep re-
naming steady. Run is 5000 today,
three or four big shipments Of IS to
u pound lambs at that figure, a few
6S-pOund lambs at $40. YearIings
sell at $40 to $3.50, wethers up to
$3.50, ewes $4.85 to S5.25, yearling
ewes up to $3.50.

Something New in Kentucky.

Fairbanks OF Indiana and Shaw Of
Iowa was stumping Kentucky. After
a successful meeting the Kentucky
colonel who had the two republican
statesmen in charge invited him into
the hotel barrOOm for some refresh
ment.
'What'H you have?" he asked Sena-
tor Fairbanks.
"a little cold apollinaris,'' was the
reply.
''And you?" said the host to Gov
ernor Shaw.
Il think I viii have a glass OF but

The barkeeper turned to the Ken
tuckian. What shall I give you, COLO

long sigh. Under the circumstances,
he said, Il think you can give me a

Author Tells of Horrors Endured by
the Natives.

Very black is the picture OF Congo
life drawn by E. D. Morel in his new
ly published book, RED Rubber" He
says: Out there in the forest, the
brolan man through the long and ter
rny11e watches of the night-what is
his vista in life? Intending labor at
the muzzle Of the Albini or the cap
gun; no pause, no rest. At the ut
most, if his fortnightly toll of rubber
is sufficient, if leaves and dirt have
not mingled in too great proportion
with the juice. he may find that he
has four or five days month to
spend among his household. If so,
he will be lucky, for the vines are
ever more difficult to find; the dis
lance to travel from his village great
er. Then the rubber must be taken to
the white mans fine station, and any
number of delays may occur before
the rubber worker may leave the sta.
ton for his home. Four or five days.
freedom per month-that is the very
maximum he can expect Five days
to look after his own affairs, to be
shadow of the sentry's rifle. But how
often in the year will such good for
tune attend him?
Shortage on one occasion only will
entail the lash, or the chain and de-
tentlon-worse, perhaps, If the white
man has fever or an enlarged spleen
that day. And if he flinches! If, start
ing from an uneasy sleep there in the
forest, when shapes growing out Of
the darkness proclaim the rising OF
another day, he wakens to the knowlt
edge that his basket is but half fuN,
and that he must begin his homeward;
two days march betimes not to miss;
the roll call, his heart fails him, ana
ne turns his face away, plunging
further into the forest, fleeing from
his tormentors, seeking only one thing
-blindly to get away from his life
and all that it means-what will hap

"WeH enough he knows. Has he not
seen the process with his own eyes?

Hotel WAYS Abroad.

Hot water is not laid on" (piped)
at foreign hotels, says the Travel
Magazine. If you hear a gentle tap
on the door in the morning you may
interpret it as meaning that a copper
ever of hot water has just been set
down outside for your personal use.
If you order a. bath it will be pre-
pared for you accordingly, and sweet
voiced maid will give you notice when
it is ready. You are not expected to
operate the water valves at all, and
it is doubtful if you would succeed if
you tried.
From variety of vacant rooms at
hotel shown you you select the one
you prefer, with a definite agreement
as to price. You are not required to
accept humbly and thankfully, in blind
faith, whatever room the clerk deigns
to assign to you as in America. 1t is
expected, however, that you will order
your breakfasts at the hotel, being
free to get your other meals elsewhere
if you prefer.

GREAT RATS ON OCEAN.
Immense Loads of Timber Trans
ferred Over the Sea.

Nearly as, large as the largest trans
Atlantic liners are some of the huge
sea RATS by means of which timber is
transferred from the Columbia river
and Puget sound to Sam Francisco or
southern California. Occasionally
these bundles of logs measure $50
feet from end to end and contain as
many as 5000 pieces of timber. To
fasten such raft so that it viii with
stand the force of the seas to which
it is exposed in the trip down the
CURED. AS; the cigar shape offers less
resistance to the force of the waves
than any other, this has been adopted.
In order to pile the timber in this
form a huge skeleton or shipway is
constructed. This is practically a
cradle, which is moored in the water
adjacent to the boom where the raft
timber is confined. By means of a
boom derrick the poles and piling are
lifted from the boom Singly and
placed in the proper position in the
cradle. They are so adjusted as to
overlap each other, the plan followed
being somewhat similar to that in lay
ing brick wall, the end Of each stick
being placed opposite the center of
the one adjacent to it.
After completion the raft is wrapped
with iron chains lashed around it at
intervals ranging from IL to 20 feet
apart. These chains are composed Of
one and one-half inch links and the
oft he,
chains have beer. stretched taut by
hand or steam windlass. To prevent
the chains from slipping iron staples
are driven through the links into the
outside poles. In addition to the
chains, however, "side lines" as they
are called, consisting of wire rope, are
stretched around the raft between the
chain sections, so that when the
wrapping is completed the mass of
logs is bound together very securely.
When the wrapping is finished the
raft is ready for launching.
In building the raft two two-inch
chains are stretched lengthwise from
end to end through the center. One
| of these is bolted to sort OF bulkhead
at one end, consisting of band OF
/ iron, which is fitted around the pro-
| jecting ends of the outer pieces. The
| other chain is connected at the for
1 ward end with the towing hawser and
/ secured inside the raft by lateral
/ chains. To move this unwieldy bulk
two powerful steamers are usually d.
rectly ahead and the other to keep
the raft in the right course.

ures, subject on which Mr.. Rookie
feller's general education board has
all manner of statistics, there are
some essential practical things that
his thirty-two millions would do. For
example, it costs, even at present high
prices, about $4,000 to build a house
in Brooklyn with all modern convent
ences and of sufficient size to contain
two families of five persons each.
Technically these are known as two
family houses. The education gift
would build 10000 of such houses.
giving happy homes to 100000 people
who now merely exist in crowded
tenements.
Albany is city of 100000 people.
All of them could be comfortably nut
into homes that might be built with
such a sum. The total assessed real
ty valuation of Albany is s64, OOO, 900.
of which more than one-half is bust
ness property. So that the education
gift might purchase the homes of an
entire capital city. The cost of liy-
ing last year in the United States was
sos per person. giving all the neces-
sites of life. At this rate 304.762
people could be supported for a year
out OF the donation. Nobody in such
cities as Newark, Washington, Mil.
waukee, Detroit, or New Orleans
would have to worry about food OF
clothing. The mere interest on the
sum would support perpetually the
entire population of such cities as
Ansonia. Conn; Johnstown, N. Y, OF
New Rochelle. Any city of $4,000
people could live on, the income of the
gift.

Why "a Canard 2"

Does anyone know the origin of the
word "Canard," duck, as meaning a
false report, especially in a newspa-
per? I came upon the explanation
only recently, says writer in Vanity
Fair. It is this. About 1860 French
journalist, being hard up for news,
wrote an amazing story in a leading.
Paris journal to the effect that he had
kept and fattened 20 live ducks, and
one day being short of duck-food he
killed one, chopped it up, and distri-
buted it among the other 10. The fol-
lowing day he slaughtered another
bird, and the Is ducks ate it up. So
he went on from day to day, until
there was only solitary duck left,
which had, of course, assimilated most
OF the other 10. The enterprising
press gentleman then related that he
had this last duck for his own dinner,
thus practically eating the score of
birds at one meal. The amazing yarn
went the round of the papers at the
time, and formed the origin of the
term ''eanard" for a humping big
story.

There is no more perplexing trouble
for physician to treat than debility
cases, especially in women, In which
there Is no acute disease but in which
the patient every day sinks lower and
lower despite changes OF medicine and
similar experiments.
That DR.. Williams Pink Pills win
restore health under these conditions
Is no speculation but the fact has been
proved In hundreds of cases similar
to that OF Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, Of 1008

Il never felt well after my first
child was born. had a gnawing pain
in my stomach and could not hold any
food down. My head ac..ad a great

to be half blinded with pain. These
spells would often last for over an
