staged during the past few years so
frequently in this country: If there be
anything OF value in impresslng upon
the mind lessons OF cause and effect
in life; II there be anything of gain in
the tragedy, as a contrast TO the ideal,
then all of that worth is wrapped up
together in this Thaw tragedy
We slip along thoughtlessly through
life unless incidents attract our atten.
ton Optimism and sunshine are the
joys of living, but now and then we
must know the frightful storm the
awful calamity, in order to bring out
in all its beauty the sunshine that fol-
lows.
Here's a tragedy that is depicting
the worst side of pretentious life.
ruined their lives and the lives of all
about them by their sin. And there's
material for serious reflection In all of
that wretched story.
The wages of sin is death, we're told
and where more strikingly than
here? Nor is it all physical death,
It's death to that mother and those
sisters of Thaw, who despite their
millions and their titles and their FAM
lily prestige, have been dragged down
into this disgraceful mire. Stanford
White had wife and family they
knew his wickedness for it drove them
away from this man, mighty though
he was in his profession. It's worse
than death, the result of all this evil
doing. Z"
And 1t is only a typical case. Few
of them result in bullets and murder
trials but all of them, sooner or later
result in disintegration of the home
and happiness of not only the guilty
but also the innocent
There's a forceful danger sign stuck
up in life's skating pond by this trial
and the more terrible the details, the
more striking will be the letters that
spell Danger" on this sign
The acts of Evelyn Nesbit's mother
are worth knowing that they may
stand out as warnings to perhaps other
thousands of mothers.
There's nothing attractive about all
this disgraceful, wretched story of
wickedness. The American people
have judgment enough to digest these
details, saving the good for their sys-
TENS and discarding the bad.
There's no way to bar out this puO-
licity. for the American people have
always boosted their free press, and,
besides, they're demanding just what
the newspaper is today giving them
New York papers have sent their
best men-men whose names appear
often on the pages of current maya
zines--and the Associated Press has
it's most splendid talent, covering this
Thaw case. 'A
It's news, of course, and that shows
that the public is insistent. But, deep
er than that, is the fact that such aw-
fulness stands out as a warning sign
to humankind
It's not to be deplored that the pa,
pers are printing these things half so
much as it is to be deplored that they
actually take place. ... '.

WEAK WEARY WOMEN.

Learn the Cause of Daily Woes and
End Them
When the back aches and
throbS
When homework is torture.
When night brings no rest or
Sleep.
When urinary disorders set in.
Women's lot is weary one.
There is a way to escape these
woes.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure such
ills.
This is one Kansas woman's
testimony:
Mrs Melissa A Love, of 211
Hendricks street, Fort Scott,
Kan, says: Last winter I had
an attack of the grip, and it af-
fected my kidneys so that I suf
fered for a long time afterwards
with pain and lameneSs in the
small of the back. I had felt
this trouble coming on all during
the fall, and cold took was the
final means of bringing it to a
climax. If I swept the floor or
exerted myself in any other way,
I had to go and lie down, but the
dull heavy aching would COM
mence again as soon as I got up
and stirred around. My son
urged me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, and I got a box at T. w.
Atkins drug store, and began
using them. I found such graft
flying relief that I continued the
treatment until my trouble had
entirely disappeared. My ex-
perience certainly warrants me
in recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills to others"

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas lily mdrkct kep0Q-
Kansas City Stock Yards, April
23d 1907.
The liberal run of IA, 900 cattle
yesterday and 1900 today has
failed to injure the market on
killing grades in the least, in fact
the market is strong and active
on them today, except that
heavy steers move trifle slowly. :,
There is phenomenal demand
from all sources for killing cat
tie, and the gain of 5 to Is cents
secured last week in the face of
liberal run of 49, 900 cattle has
more than been held this week
Toppy steers are scarce, the
best here today selling at $500,
except the fancy steer at So. 80,
and the highest sale last week
S6.O5, although So Is was bid for
one lot of steers that were for
warded to Chicago by the owner,
where they sold Thursday at
&C. 5. Bulk of steers are selling
at the highest figures of the
year, at So 20 to 1913, including
many steers weighing around
1000 lbs Cows and heiferS gain
ed Is to 25 cents last week,
strong this week, cows S.. 40 to
$4.85, heifers $4.15 to $3.50, bulls
higher, 1925 to $3.50. Calves
are considerably lower than a
week ago, selling at S37 to So so.
In spite of the extra good mar
ket on killing cattle, country
grades are much lower than a
week ago, medium class thin
stock steers 80 to so cents lower
in many cases. Buyers have
been kept at home by farm work
for the last week or two, and the
high prices of a week ago cur
tailed the demand, which left
many cattle in the hands of trad
ers at the end of last week, and
many bargains are available this
week in all classes. Stockers
range from 1878 to S.. 25, feed
ers $3.50 to $5.35, Stock cows
and feeding bulls have held
steady, the former at $2.75 to
1918, feeding bulls So. 25 to 1915.
Hog receipts are moderate and
the tendency of the market is up
ward this week, light hogs to
Z 1-2 higher today, at $685. to
$6.67 IL, medium weights 5
higher, at Sc. so to 1892 1-2, heavy
hogs a shade higher, $6.45 ito
So. 55. Supply is $4,000 today,
about like a week ago. Buyers
cut back old sows and stays,
which generally sell so to IS
cents below the others. Compe-
tition is strong this week, re-
ceipts barely sufficient for the
lISSll InSdO I'll DUO, dI1o UIlS OuU-
look is more promising than a
week ago.
The mutton market seems
well settled at the highest point
it has reached, bulk of lambs to-
day at $3.50 to $3.50, top yester-
day $685. Medium grade lambs
sell at 1925 to So. so, clipped
lambs 800 to $7.25, clipped
wethers today at $6.1O, wooded
ewes $3.50 clipped ewes late last
week at $685. to $3.50. Run was
81, 900 last week, supply 5000 to-
day, being held up by the strong
of the sensational
prices. A reduction in the sup
ply is imminent, and strong
markets are likely to continue
for awhile.
