Cattle Demand Strong.

Denver Stock Yards, Sept. l3-
The receipts of cattle last week
were very good though hardly as
heavy as the preceding week.
The eastern markets were lower
and this market went off some
early iu the week but later most of
the decline was regained, leaving
the good cattle pretty close to
steady with week ago, while the
medium and palmer stuff closed
about a dime lower. The demand
was strong all week and the market
in good shape. Good Wyoming
beef steers sold at $3.50 and most
of the pretty decent killers offered
brought $500 to S4.75. Cows sold
largely at 1925 to S3.65 for the
good ones with fancy stuff on up.
Medium COWS brought S2,l5 to
S.. %. and Gamers all the way
down to Sl.5O. Bulls sold at $500
to 81 10 and veal calves at 500 to
$500 or about steady with a week
ago. Feeder and stocker demand
very fair and good heshy steers
held up well. Plain stuff closed a
little lower owing to eastern de-
cliues. Good to choice steers are
bringing S3.75 to s4.35 and fancy
kinds on up. The fair to good are
going mostly at s3.35 to S3.75.
Stock cows are selling at 81 % to
81 10. and in good demand To
days receipts 1000 head. Market
active and prices 10 to l5 cents
higher than last weeks close.
The demand for hogs was strong
all week and at the close values
show little change from what they
have been all week, prices ranging
from $3.50 to SS.15. On Thursday
a top was made at $500 which is
the highest price paid here since
February, 1892 when SS.27! was
paid.
The sheep deemed was good and
prices held up well on all grades
Receipts were not heavy and more
sheep and lambs could be used
here in good advantage.

ALL GIVEN A PART.
New Members of Commercial Club to
Be Assigned Work.

The head pushers of the Topeka Com
mercial club are losing no time in pre-
pairing to reap the fruits of the harvest
are under way in which every mem
Der of the club will be given some
definite programme. in which he can
play his individual part in making the
city a Greater Topeka.
Friday night the regular monthly
business meeting of the club Will be
held and every member, old and new,
lis expected to attend. Some definite
programme will be announced at that
time.
Another big rally day will take place
next Friday. All of the members who
assisted in the securing of new MEM
bers last Friday will be expected to
help in this next event. In addition a
number of the new members have sig
nified a willingness to lend their efforts
and with almost double the number OF
workers, the membership should be
day night. In this event, the meeting
will prove the greatest ever held by
the Commercial club.
Tomorrow letters will be sent to ev-
cry member of the club asking for sug-
gestions as to the best means of max
ing the Greater Commercial club more
effective in promoting Topeka's inter
|ests The following Is the letter which
will be sent out:

doubt of her election.
Some Ill Feeling.
There is considerable hard feeling
between the Democrats and Repub-
licans over the city because in their
advertisements lately the Democrats
have placed a Republican head above
their ads and they have solicited the
votes of the people of the city with
out stating the name of the party. In
some cases the list of candidates and

arms over this A prominent RepuD-

are doing their best to pull the wool

This is the sentiment expressed by
three out of four supporters of the G.

Won't Use Voting Machines.
The long talked of voting machines
will not be in use-regardless of the
fact that they have been practically
promised a number of times. But the
city is not losing either money or time
by the new proposition. They have a
con tract with the Kansas Voting Ma
chine company for the machines and
they will be used at the next election.
The voting machine company undoubt-
eddy has the best machine on the mar
ket and some day it is bound to be one
of the biggest concerns in the city OF
Topeka. The city officials were anxious
to try it out and give it a good recon-
mendation to other cities but the work
at the factory did not follow closely to
the election date.

home. When they heard the whistle of
the engine drawing the approaching train
they ran down to the track to watch it

SALOONS QUIT BUSINESS.
West Virginia Will Lose $4,000 in
Revenues

CLARKSBURG, W. Va, July 2-The
new state and municipal license year be-
gan in West Virginia yesterday, and
about $50 saloons in dry counties are
compelled to quit business, the result be-
ing the loss of $150,OOO state fees and half
as much more TO the municipalities.
West Union, the county seat Of Dod-
ridge county. is without drug store, the
county refusing to grant a license because
the druggists are suspected of selling
liquor. Fairmont, one of the largest towns
in the state, is dry, and on account of the
wrangle resulting a quorum of the city
council could not be secured to grant
druggist, hotel. restaurant and other Ii
censes, and such places will be compelled
20 close or take their chance of prosecu-
ton and heavy fines for conducting their
business in violation of law.
Complications in many parts Of the state
are reported as the result of refusals to
grant licenses.

STRANGE WINS AT ANNAPOLIS.
Beats Williams and Claude for
Mayor in Primaries.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July BY a major
ity of III votes James f. Strange was
nominated for mayor of Annapolis by the
democrats as the result Of yesterdays
primary election. His total vote was 49,
against 235 for Mr.. William f. Williams.
Mayor Gordon II. Claude, who sought a
denomination, and who 1t was expected
would give Mr.. Strange the closest rub.
made surprisingly poor showing. getting
but 124 votes.
The primaries were held under the
Crawford county system for the first time
in the history Of the town, and attracted
more than usual interest because of this.
and also for the fact that the fight, up
until morning. was regarded as an ex-
ceedingly close one, and while many
voters We're not pledged to any of the
candidates Mr.. Strange'S nomination was
practically conceded by noon.
