his death, though not unexpect-

by all who knew him. He bore
his terrible suffering with pa
thence and resignation and enter

calm and peaceful as babe, and
those near him did not know he
was dying until after the final
summons had come which gave
him release from pain and usher
him into eternal peace and rest.

Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Tues
day, June z. 1908.
The fairly good run of $4,000
cattle, including 1000 calves ar
rived here last week, but the sup
ply is smaller this week, account
of dissatisfaction of shippers
with the market last week.
Prices are sharply higher this
week because of the small run,
and also account of a better de-
mand from local packers, who
are now operating up to their
normal capacity, same as before
the recent high water. Supply
yesterday was 5000 head, and
run today is 5000 head There
is only small run of guarantees
this week, 12O carloads in two
days, about one-third the supply
of same days last week. Pro
portion of grass steers from
Kansas, notably Ellsworth and
Greenwood counties, is lighter
this week, but those who have
had stuff here are well pleased
with prices. Steers are 20 to 40
cents higher today than at the
close last Friday, top So 90, and
good weight Kansas grass steers
at S.. 80 to Sc. 45, which is a re-
covery of the large portion of the
break suffered last week. Cows
range from $3.50 to 81. 25, heif-
ers 1925 to $500 for bulk of
sales, with choice fed heifers up
to 1878, bulls $2.75 to 1925,
calves So so to 1925. About 200
carloads of stockers and feeders
were bought here last week for
the country, prices held nearly
steady for the week. The mar
ket is strong to 10 higher today.
following a similar advance yes
terday, stockers at $500 to 81 65,
feeders $500 to 81 80, with few
choice feeders at $5.35.
The hog supply is small also
this week, and prices are rapidly
advancing. The ability of pack
ers here to again kill as many as
they wish, up to the capacity of
their plants, is fast putting the
market here to the front. Run
is 10000 here today, market 10
to Is higher, top $6.67 IL, bulk
Sc. As to Sc. 60, as compared with
bulk of sales at $685. to $3.50 in
Chicago today Eastern killers
have been taking a large per-
centage of the receipts here for
a week past, but local packers
are now setting the pace in the
buying.
The mutton market has taken
a sharp turn upward this week,
in common with other classes of
live stock, spring lambs at $500
to $3.50 yesterday and today, rs
to S1.OO per cwt. higher than a
week ago. Grass ewes sold at
40 today, and clipped yearling
lambs at 1925 to 1913. Sup
plies of range stuff are growing
small, as Texas and Arizona are
about through running, and
Utah has not yet fairly started.
Feeding lambs are available at
around 81. so, stock sheep $500
to 1918

Upper Clear Creek Strike.

A Denver News special from George
town on the 18th inst, says: Prob
ably no strike made in the history of
mining in upper Clear Creek created
so much enthusiasm as that reported
today from the Sporting Times. The
property ir located on Griffith noun
tain within sight of Georgetown ana
is owned and operated by H. A. Col
burn and son of Idaho Springs. In
the early working of the property a
large quantity of high grade gold and
lead ore was shipped from the surface
workings. On account of the broken
up condition of the ground the ore
measure was lost and all efforts to To-
cate proved futile. Consequently "A
cross-cut tunnel was started down the
mountain side.
Late last night n six-inch streak OF
solid galena was struck. giving values
of four ounces in gold. 81 per cent
lead and so ounces in silver.
Tie ore is of the same character as
that extracted from the surface. This
proves the continuity of the ore to n
great depth and opens up large block
of virgin ground which will no doubt
prove bonanza to the lucky owner.

Half an hour later the night watch
man was startled by shrill cries from
the second floor. Rushing up the
stairway he collided with the COW and
was himself almost overcome by
fright before he recognized it.
The COW began a mournful mooing,
while the girls peered out of door
ways.
Grabbing the animal by the tail, the
watchman succeeded in getting the
COW as far as the landing. but when
the COW saw the long flight of stairs
she refused TO bulge further.
Then the co-eds. with kimonos over
their shoulders. began to offer sug-
gestions. One of them tried to tempt
the COW with candy. Another brought
out guitar and endeavored to charm
her. or perhaps scare her. Still the
COW refused to move.
Finally the watchman found it nee
essary TO wait until morning Then
he got help and carried the COW bod
lily down the stairs.
