Market Report.

Kansas City, NO. October ~, l9US
The market last week was very
uneven, opening with a good gain the
first of the week, and closing with
all OF the advance lost, and In the ease
OF stockers and feeders little more.
The run today is 25, 200 head, slightly
less than a week ago, but still Indie
ing that it will be a few weeks yet
before 6he range cattle receipts cease
to form the bulk of the total supply.
Tue market today is weak on steers,
and to 10 lower on cows, the decline
mainly because Of big rut and lower
prices at Chicago to-day. Stockers and
feeders are weak today also, as the
dry weather is having bad effece on
the demand from various points In
Kansas and Missouri. Reports of rain
in Kansas today and indications Of
rain for Missouri tonight and tOmor-
row are of some benefit to the market
today, but this week will be a good
opportunity to secure cheap cattle,
AS there was 5000 more stockers and
feeders held over from last week than
at the eud OF the previous week, and
as great a number as at the end OF
any week this fall. Some show steers
sold at So. 90 last week, but top ut the
open market, outside OF the Harbaugh
steers from Nebraska on Monday,
which were on the show order, and
brought IS 90, was 1870, and only a
few cattle above $780, Grass steers
are selling at SO. 40 to 81. go, COWS 50 go
to SO go, top cows 81 rs, top heifers
1926, bulls at 50 90 to $3.40, calves
81. so to SO 30, stuckers S. so to 81 30,
feeders $3.50 to $4.6O.
Hog prices declined another so cents
last week, making the loss for two
weeks 81 90, market s1.35 lower than
three weeks ago, when the big declio e
set Ia. The run is IL, 900 today, mar
ket 10 to 90 lower, top IS 10, bulk
$500 to $500. Average weight is
lightest ever known here, less than
$50 pounds, but quality is fairly good,
considering the light weight. Re
ceipts are running twice as heavy as
al this time last year, and heavier
than ever before at this point In Oc-
taber, but local packers are buying
tlem freely, and prices here are above
competing markets.

.Schmitz and Rlef End
Enmity in Love Feast
Forget That / Told the Truth"
Says Curly Boss as Tear
TrickIes Down His Cheek

In the lonesome hours of tho long
day and the dim light of the corridors
of the county jail, the old love has re-
turned and Schmitz and Ruef have
pledged anew the bond that cemented
them in the days of their ascendency.
Nightly they have talked the matter
over across the checker board and
have decided to forget and forgive,
uniting for mutual protection. Their
alliance is no secret. 1t has been
known to the prosecution for several
days and is common gossip among the
guards and prisoners at the Ingleside
jail.
The reunion within the gloom of the
musty structure was not matter of
q moment, but was brought about by
a slow and gradual process. First
there was the common enemy, the
prosecution, which drove them to-
gether. The careful snubs mutually
administered in the halls were
dropped There were brief but express
sive exchanges in the flash of the eye,
the nod of the head. Fate then stepped
in and did her share They met by
chance in the Nront office. There was
brief Good evening. Later they
met again in the same place and there
was more extended exchange Of
courtesies.

impeachable statements of Heney
by Rudolph Spreckels and Dis
trict Attorney Langdon yesterday.
.Sprcckels completed an affidavit
which will be made part of the
court srecord this morning and
Langdon finished and filed his
affidavit in Judge Lawlor's court.
Both of these documents, which
are here given in full, add inter-
esting data to the complete his
tory OF the. immunity dealings
with Ruef as told by Heney, and
not only substantiate MANY of
the most essential particulars of
Hcney's affidavit, but make new
exposures which positively refute
thesclains set forth by Ruef and
by Rabbis Nieto and Kaplan in
his behalf.

various conversations had with
members of the prosecution are

proved ready fuel. In few minu tes
the flames had swept through the walls
of the room where they originated and
before the startled nurses and pa
tients were aware of the circumstances
they were almost completely sur
rounded by flames.
NURSES SAVE CHARGES
Miss Jessie Greenwood. head nurse
of the institution, took immediate
charge. Under her direction her staff
of nurses ran into the building and
carried out the bedridden patients.
Mounted policemen in the vicinity OF
the park, hearing of the fire, gallopcd
to the spot as fast as their horses could
travel and rushed in to lend their aid.
On account of the distance and the bad
roads it was some time before the fire
engines could arrive, and though the
horses were dashed on to their utmost
speed the building was mass of flames

The patients were laid on the lawn
in front OF the hospital and housed in
the old hospital building as soon as
possible. Long after the fire was out

at work caring for the patients, and it
was not until late last night that they
were able to find rest for themselves.
A heroine of another caliber was Mrs.
Floy Holman, wife of the chief engineer
of the pumping plant. Seeing that
every man was needed to carry out the
patients from the burning building she
told her husband to aid the nurses and
stepped into his position. For two
hours she worked the boilers as she
had seen her husband do and sue

meet the requirements OF the bucket
brigade and later the FIRE department.
There were moments when it looked
as If the pumping station would catch
fire, but the plucky woman kept her
post, moving about the machinery with
