KANSAS CITY MARKETS.
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, May 31.-Supplies of cattle were smaller at all the markets l last week but trade was disappointing, and declines were general except on stockers and feeders, which advanced
 25 cents from the low close of the previous week. Killing grades lost 10 to 40 cents. with the market very un- even from day to day. Run today is only 5000 head here and light at other points, and the market is strong to 15c higher. Range offerings are limited today, but include 9 train of Arizona cattlt. which embrace stock steers at $40 to S4.60, killing steers, $5.15; cows and heifers at $3.75 to $4.55. Hay fed steers from the west are worth $5.25 to S595, top native steers, S6.95; best veals, $500 and stockers and feeders from s3.50 to $5.40. Texas cattle are moving to market rapidly now, and northern packers are buying them by the train load at Fort Worth, which is an adverse circumstance toward the market for fed cattle at the northern markets. Heavy rains. and numerous washouts in Oklahoma and Texas have interferred with movements of stock from those sections.
 Sheep and lambs received the se- verest cut Of the season last week, muttons declining around $1.00 per cwt. and lambs about SO cents lower. Heavy runs at all points was the cause together with smaller demand from re- tailers. The supply today is 7500 head, about half the run of last Monday, and receipts will likely be small balance of this week as fewer are in sight at the various railroad feeding stations en route to market. The market is 10c higher today, wooded lambs worth $6.10 to $6.50, clipped lambs $5.50 to $500, Texas muttons $4.00 to s4.25, feeding sheep $3.5O to $4.OO. goats s3.1O to s3.50.

Half the nervousness, half the irri- tability that is so common in every day life, is really sickness, and in most cases a condition that accompanies kidney trouble.
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons, but when the kidneys are SICK and not doing their duty, the uric acid poison permeates the body and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irrita- tion causes nervousness, irritability, headache, dizzy spells; makes you lan- guid, unfit for work and inclined to worry over trifles. Besides, there IS nothing more annoying than a bad back, and backache is the most com mon sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning, suffer day and night with a dull aching in the back, and it hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool and get the kidneys well. No person can feel cheerful and healthy if the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Deans Kidney Pills, taken in the be- ginning, will set the kidneys right.
 Continued treatment cures cases of lOng standing.

inches in the lead and that is going some on grain controversy.
 The chaplain accepted the count and then told the secretary that in view of the fact that he wanted to be so very accurate it would be a good idea to count the oat kernels. In it's final ity it is the grain that counts after all The count shows 200 kernels in that one head so the reader may see that they were not spread out over an un- usual length of straw just to gain length of head. Two hundred kernels is a good many oats. At least they would make a pretty good mess of breakfast food for a hungry man.
 The chaplain will begin cutting his oats today and tomorrow, when he gets well out into the patch, the board of trade will send a photographer out to take a picture of it. The chaplain is resting easy under the latest devel- opment of the situation but he says it may as well be understood now as anytime, that he proposes to keep the oat record and if any other rancher has the temerity to bring in oats eight and a half feet high with heads on them three feet long, he will skin him if he has to plant another crop to do it.

ing twenty-four inches long. This fact was published in The Republican and the chaplain got sore.
 He couldn't endure to have Scotts- dale second on any proposition. He had to come to town on memorial day to help celebrate so he got up early, resolved to put the other ranchers in the shade before another sun had set He went out into his eight foot oat field resolved to not pick up any of the short undersiZed grain but to se- lect it a little in view of the fact that competition was getting keen It only took him little while to find a bunch of it that measured eight feet and six inches tall, thus beating his own rec ord for height by six inches.
 But that wasn't all. He had a head record to smash also, so he sorted out his eight foot six sheaf until he found good sized handful that would also stand a head inspection. The longest straw was surmounted by a head thir- ty-five and three quarters inches long and the heads on the whole bunch av- craze thirty-one inches. The chaplain claimed the long head was three feet but Secretary Cowgirl of the board of trade, to whom the grain was brought and who keeps the records, is heartless. He proposes to give a square deal, let the honors fall where they may and he measured the chaplain's grain with circumspection and docked him a quarter of an inch. But it still left the chaplain eleven and three-quarters

 SALT RIVER VALLEY
They Grow Eight and Half Feet High With Heads oa Them Thirty Five and Three Quarters Inches Long, Carrying 200 Kernels.

Chaplain Winfield Scott of Scotts- dale, has challenged the world. He wants it understood without equivoca- tion that Scottsdale, taking it up one side and down the other, is incompara- ble, unapproachable and the best ever. The Scottsdale oranges, peanuts, veg etables and grains make a high class aggregation that the rest of the world must pause and wonder at. But when it comes to oats the question is evne a more delicate one. The chaplain won't accept anything but the gold medal and it must be eighteen carat fine. Reference has been made several times to the chaplain's eight foot oats. He had the valley record for tall oats and seemed well satisfied but the oth- CT day another farmer who is a free born citizen and has a right to get into the running, brought in a bunch of oat heads that made the chaplain's lit tie exhibit look cheap. He still had al-
 titude to his credit but the new candi- date had a length of head that was the best to date, the heads on his oats be-

 Eighty Years of Service.

St. Petersburg, May 3f.-A veteran soldier, with the record of eighty years military service. and whose age Is de- clared to be 12S, has been visiting St. Petersburg from the Tver disti jet.

A PHOENIX CASE.

John Rehwalt, of 32 s. Second Ave, Phoenix, Ariz, says: For years I was subject to attacks of kidney trou- ble. The pains across the small of my back and over the kidney regions were very severe, and at times sharp cricks would seize me and would make it almost impossible for me to straighten after stopping. I could scarcely touch the region around the kidneys, as the slightest pressure caused throbbing pains. I procur- ed Deans Kidney Pills at Adams Pharmacy. and they promptly relieved me. A continued use cured me, and gratefully say that have not had any return of my old complaints"
