Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, March IS, 190S.- Cattle supplies this week amount to only 31,000 head, as compared with 33,000 last week, and 45,000 same week last year. The market has gained little each day, total advance for the week 15 to 25c. The opinion prevails that if re- ceipts continue light, as they are expected to do, the market will make sharp advances next week. The Lockhart steers brought $5.6O Monday, as compared with $5.45 previous Monday, and $525 for tine first shipment three weeks ago. Other Colorado fed steers sold at $4.75 to $5.50, cows at $3.75 to $4.- 05, heifers $3.S0 to $5.10, stockers $3.50 to $4.65, feeders $4.50 to $4.- 75, stock cows $2.S0 to $2.S5. Utah stockers brought $400 to $4.45, and cattle from Oklahoma and the Panhandle country sold in line with above prices, top Oklahoma steers $5.70. There was better demand for stockers and feeders this week than for week or two back, and prices advanced 10 to 20 cents, top stockers $500, feeders $5 25.
 Sheep and lamb receipts are small, 26,000 last week, and pros- poets point to continued moderate receipts, with further gains in the price. The market is up 15 to 30 cents this week top lambs today $7.20, highest this year, and only about 50 cents below this time last season. Yearlings are worth $500 to $6.50, wethers S5.50 to $6.10, ewes $500 to $5.75. Buyers took hold of goats readily when sheep were not available, paying 400 to $4 50 for them, while brush clean CTS sold at $400, and feeding lambs at $6.40 to $6.60. Heavy lambs sold at $7 .05 today.

AMONG the peculiarities of the political situation in Arizona at present is that many of the most outspoken opponents to an in- structed delegation declare most positively that they are for Taft, hope to him nominated, and are sure he will be elected; but they don't want Arizona to send to the Chicago convention a delegation instructed for him. As THE OASIS has remarked heretofore, what's the odds whether they are instruct ed or not? They will climb into the Roosevelt band wagon.

BASE BALL.

During the entire winter Hermo- sillo, Guaymas and Empalme have had good base ball teams, and there has been played in each place a series of games that have drawn many people to the town from abroad; while the games them selves have been real base ball In their efforts to have good teams and give good base ball the men who came to the front as managers of the teams in the respective towns mentioned had the undivid. ed, united and hearty support of the entire public of their towns.
 Now it is possible for Nogales to gather and maintain a base ball aggregation that will be credit and benefit to the place. But it takes management to do 1t. Mon- ey must be raised, ball ground laid out and fenced, with good grand stand erected. Heretofore there have been none of the neces- sary accessories to the game be- cause there was no one to get in and do the necessary hustling But now it seems that when an ef- fort is making to something there is disposition to divide forces and fritter away strength.
 Why would it not be better to unite the two nines-the Nogales nine and the Nogales National nine-into a single club, culling the best players from both to make a strong nine, and have therein an aggregation fitted to play ball, and put up good game against any aggregation that may come along

substantial service on the part Of
the prosecuting officer recites the
opinion. The whole conclusion is
simply that should such information
be fled and the individual implicat-
ed return plea OF guilty the
prosecuting officer gets no Tee.
There can be no fee required ex-
cept where sanctioned or expressly
provided by law, and as the section
relative to this form of police sur
veillance do not provide for a fee,
except where the officer enters and
prosecutes the case, then a fee taken
otherwise would be unlawful" is
the gist Of the opinion.
The effect Of this ruling will be
much greater than is at first appar-
cnt, as it is stated, and is matter
of record. that a very large percent
age Of the fees returned to prose-
cutting and deputy prosecuting attor-
neys result from convictions secured
on pleas Of guilty. The practice OF
accepting fees on this construction
of the law has been INDUCED in
without hesitation, as the officers
regard it as thoroughly permissible.
Under the new ruling, however
there may not be any such fees TAX
en- hereafter, and the revenue of the
Office of the various prosecuting
will suffer accordingly

Judge McCulloch recites the mer-

sections of the statute relative to
