MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yard Correspondent


Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb.
s, 1909. Cattle receipts here
last week we're $4,000, about
5000 head more than during the
previous week. Liberal receipts
at Chicago after Monday, and
great weakness there, caused a
depression of ID to % cents on
steers here up to Friday, but the
week closed with some signs OF
strength. Cows and butcher
grades held more nearly steady,
calves advanced % to 80 cents,
and stockers and feeders closed
the week a shade lower than the
close of previous week. The
greatest loss on steers was on
the more expensive kinds, as
buyers were reluctant bidders
when asked to look at anything
worth So or more. Top steers
early in the week brought $500,
but while nothing good enough
to test prices was here after
Wednesday, the limit at the end
of the week would have been
around S6.35. Supply of cattle
today is 1900 head, market
steady on steers, and strong to
a shade higher on COWS and
stockers and feeders. Urgent
warnings were sent out against
heavy marketing this week &c.

Continued from page Two.

will relate an incident that oc
Cured years after his tragic
death, SO strange, SO curious,
and so absolutely uneXplain-
able, as to make it seem that
something more than mere acct
dent (as it certainly was) was
involved in it.
In the year 1869, the legisla-
ture of this state, of which |
was a member, at its first SEES
sion at the city of Lincoln,
passed an act appropriating the
sum of $500 from the treasury
of the state to help build the
monument then being erected at
Springfield, Illinois, to the mem
Dry of the great president. 1t
provided that the governor
should draw the money and
transmit it to the monumental
association at Springfield.
The legislature finished its
labors and We all went home,
and the incident passed out of
our minds.
Nearly fourteen years after
wards business called me to
that city, and while there, |
went out to Oakridge Cemetery
to visit the tombo of Mr.. Lincoln.
1t had been long finished, and
after going through and around
that stately pile, and when |
was about to take my depart
ure | remarked to the custodian,
a Mr.. j. c. Power, that | had
had the honor to help appropri-
ate $500 from my state to assist
in building that beautiful struc-
ture. "Then," said Mr.. Power,
"You are from Nevada, [ pre-
sumo" I said "No, | am from
Nebraska" I'VE never got any
money from Nebraska was his
reply. care you certain o f
that" | said. ~ am said he.
"The only state to give $500
was Nevada" Then | said,
"There is something wrong, for
| am as certain the appropria-
ton was made and that [ voted
for it, as | am certain of my own
existence It was arranged be
tween us that | would go home
and examine the record, and
that he would have the aSSocia-
ton do likewise with their re-
cord and clear up the mystery.
On my arrival home | exam
med the session laws for 1869,
and [ found the act as | remem-
bered it, and without waiting to
hear from Mr.. Power, [ wrote a
letter to the auditor of the state
and asked him what had become
of that appropriation. In due
time | received his reply saying.
it had never been drawn against,
but had lapsed back into the
treasury under constitutional
provision. That relieved me
greatly, and | notified Mr.. Pow
er accordingly. | had been told
by that gentleman later on that
the association was in as much
need of the money then as it ever
had been. and would be greatly
pleased if the legislature would
Inappropriate it. This was in
the fall of 1882, and a new legis-
lature would be elected in No
vember, and | wrote Mr.. Power
to have the monumental aSSoci-
alton certify the fact of the need
of the money with matter of de
tail, and would see what could
be done.
| wrote a letter to Hon. c. II.
Gere, editor of the State Jour
nal, and who had been a mem
Der of that same Legislature that
made the appropriation, giving
the facts of my strange discov-
cry and asking him to take the

1onged during the trial. and be
ing curious to know why he
challenged none but elderly
men, and especially a Mr.. Webb,
Whom | knew to be one of the
best citizens of the country,
asked him why he did it. His
reply was characteristic and SO
eminently sensible, that | have
never forgotten it.
He said, Il will tell you some
Thing that may be of use to you
hereafter. Never try a young
man with an old jury, nor an old
man with a young jury. An old
nan and a young man have no
interest in common nor any sym
Dathy for each other. The old
man would say the young scrape-
grace ought to be punished on
general principles, while the
young man would say the old
reprobate was old enough to

ishment for that reason"
| have since, from actual eX-
perienCe. come to know that his
estimate of human nature in the
particular mentioned, is toler-
IDLY correct as a rule, but like
Ill other rules, general or other
wise, is subject to exception. 1t
shows however, how thoroughly

UOnal life of humanity, and the
Dlain common sense use he made
Of it on all proper occasions.
| am not writing the history
nor the biography of the great
president. On this day all over
mis- nation and all over the
world, much will be said on the
rostrum, in the pulpit, in the
columns of newspapers, and
round the treSideS of the DeO-
pie about his wOndrOus career,
md his tragic history, but it
does not come in my way to tell
me oft told story, of his obscure
origin, of his struggle out of or
phanage and poverty, for | have
not the slightest notion that
Mr.. Lincoln ever in all his life
felt that he was poor, or that
any other man was better than
lie, or that he ever felt that he
was at 4 disadvantage in any
presence. Let me illustrate
again.
\ client once asked him to go
to Washington and transact a
piece of business for him. Mr..
Lincoln listened to what it was,
and then told him to go to the
capitol and look after the bust
ness himself, saying, "you don't
need me- Out, says the eli
ent, 81 can't cope with those big
men; they will be too much for

Lincoln, "'you can do just as
we'll as | can; go to the capitol,

him what you want and you will
get probably what you are en-
titled to: and YOU will find when
you rub up against those fellows

He had the good sense to know
that no Office or station can
make any man bigger than ma
ture made him, and nature makes
the mass of men about the same
size physically and mentally. it
is said his education was faulty.
That is not a correct statement
of the fact, for as that word is
understood in this age, he had
none to he faulty; but | defy all
the world to produce three state
papers from the pens of all the
distinctive statesmen in the an
nails of history, that will com

Of the swallow as compared with

miles.

The swallow reached its nest in Ant

BREED THEATER.
Brother Against Brother, Stirring War
Moving Picture.

Commencing at the matinee today
the Breed theater will show one of the
greatest moving pictures of the civil
war since Stirring Days in Old Vtr-
eInia it being entitled Brother Against
Brother, and is by the same firm that
produced the former. This story of
the strenuous days is a powerful one
and deals with the political affairs OF
two brothers, one of which favors the
south and the other favoring the
north. When war IS declared the two
brothers of the opposing factions are
not aware Of the whereabouts of each
other. consequently sorrow ensues.
The federal brother who is an officer,
is called upon to sentence a young
spv from the confederate side, and
when confronted with the prisoner
discovers that he is his own brother.
He then orders him put in the cell for
condemned prisoners, and under the
pretense of consulting with him, his
federal brother enters the cell and they
exchange uniforms, permitting the
prisoner to escape. The erstWh1le
prisoner shooting himself in the Shout
Ger, inf1icting a slight wound, and pre-
tending to be shot by the visitor. NThis
wonderful picture contains many other
scenes true to life. making one of the
longest pictures shown in some time
Recognizing the great merit of this
picture. Manager McNulty has invited
the members of the G. A. r. post, Mo-
!. to be present Saturday evening to
enjoy It at his expense. He will be
pleased to identify the members wear
ing the bronze button of the post, as
he will issue no passes at this time,
and all members wearing the emblem
of the post will be admitted traits.
Six other big pictures are featured,
Madam Morell singing Taps and Mr.
Delaney presenting the stirring march

rural song "Meet Me at the Old Turn

The New Digestion.

The secret is simple. One must be
fearless. The slightest suggestion of
timidity. the slightest hesitancy in
selection, the remOtest glimmering of
caution will be followed by unhappy
results, in proportion to the fear OF
the consequences the victim has ex
pressed.
There is an old admonition, 'Be
bold, but not too bold" This does
mot apply to the new digestion. 1t
has been revised now ia read, "Be
bold; you cannot be bold enough"
On arising in the morning it is pos
sibl ethat your thoughts may turn to
Tnolasses candy; this is what your sub
liminal self demands, your psychic
consciousness insists upon. If the de-
sire at first is faint this is only be-
cause through long generations of
mental slavery your natural inclina-
lions have been buried under conven-
lions. Encourage this decire for mo-
lasses candy, let the first faint glim-
merings of am awakened freedom be
rewarded, and your soul-also your
ach-wiu begin to smile through
the clouds. Molasses candy at Z
o'clock instead of oatmeal is what you
have been craving for.-Life.
