Stock Market

/ Kansas (lty Stock Yards, Nov.
Il 8, l909-Last week was ban
ner week of the sesson in receipts
of range cattle, the whole range
country extending from the Pan
handle through New Mexico,
Arizona and up into Colorado
and the Northwest being well
represented in the supply. The
railroads have been promising to
furnish more cars, and the decline
of shipment from native terrific
rv in the last few weeks is enabl
ing them to ketp these promises.
| he market was lower at the
opening last week, but improv-
ed after, Tuesday, and closed the
week in good shape with ten
cents advance Friday The sup
ply today is liberal from the range
districts, but the total run is
moderate at 5000 head, mar
ket strong to 10 higher on kill
ing stuff, 10 to 25 higher on
stOckerS and feeders. Beet steers
from Colorado and the West have
sold up to $3.50 recently, al
though steers weighing over l.
300 lbs. are wanted and would
bring around $6 90, but the bulk
of the steers $500 to So 90,
stnckers today $4 SO to ) 475;
COWS $3.50 to 81. 20; heifers up
to IS 90; stock COWS and heifers
50 80 to IS 75. Beef steers from
Texas and New Mexico 81 90 to
$4.75 stockers So 40 to 81. go;
COWS and heifers $3.25 to 81. 10;
Gamers around S2.S So: calves
1915 to $6.75. Calves gained
25 to 80 cents last week, and are
a quarter higher today. A train
of commonish Arizona stOckers
sold here recently at So 20 to
So 80. The feature IN the cattle
trade here last week was the ex-
ira strong call for range bred
stockers, and the total shipments
of stockers and feeders to the
country was 800 car loads.
Sheep and lamps sold good last
week till Thursday when there
was some loss in the price, but
the market is good today, 10 to
15 higher, run today 5000 head.
Offerings of the range stufs are
light today, but some new tops
were made on ted stock, and ma
tive lambs at $7.35; light Weight
yearlings $6.35. Choice range
lambs would probably bring this
price, and grass yearlings are
quotable up to $3.50; wethers
So 90; ewes $4 DOT $4.35. De
mand from the country keeps up
fully as strong as any time this
fall, feeding wethers and year
lings "a SO to 81 50; breeding
ewes $+OO to $5.25, according
to flesh and breeding; old ewes
around 1925. Eastern reports
are encouraging, and indicate
that mutton is going into con
sumptive channels as fast as it
can be dressed, and if the visible
supply can be properly distllbut
ed in the marketing, prices should
be satisfactory some weeks
ahead.

eminent unless that majority can con-
quer itself. That is. unless that ma
Jority exercises the self restraint that
men with great power ought to exercise.
And why? I am not going into the vari-
Gus parts of the world. but I can call
your attention-if it was not that 1 am
in responsible position now, with re-
Spect to foreign countries, and 1 have
got to speak with care-call your atten-
ton to a good many instances where
those who are in favor of popular gov
eminent and who, if I may use the eX-
preston, pull the tail feathers out of
the eagle in defying liberty and apos-
trophiz1ng everything that we think
dear, and yet just as soon as they be-
come majority they think that gives
them the right to control the minority
absolutely, and if the minority show any
disposition to question it, they send
them to Jail.
What is the effect of that? They
say this is popular rule; this is the
rule of the majority. So what does the
minority do? Why, the minority says:
We will take to the woods, and
they do take to the woods. And so we
have that system that alternates be-
a revolution and an election and you
call that popular government.
Winners and Losers
Now, why is it that that works
that way? It is because the majority
and the minority do not govern them
selves and do not exercise that self re-
straint without which popular govern
ment is absolutely impossible and that
is the application of the text that comes
homes to me in thinking and dealing
with these countries that are strug-
Cling for popular government. A mi
nority that is beaten in the election
can not stand the defeat. 1t has to go
to the woods. They are not good losers,
and the majority are not good winners

rests in the knowledge of the majority |
that it has got to keep within the

Seattle and Galveston to Be
Connected by Rail.
The Gulf & Northwestern Start
cd in Western Kansas.
TRAVERSE NEW AREA.
Many Western Counties Would
Then DO Connected.
Other Items of Interest i'm
Railway Circles.

Tribune. Kan, Oct. 1.-THE county
commissioners of Greeley county have
been presented with a petition signed
by seventy-five per cent of the voters of
the county asking them to call spe-
cial election to vote and raise bonds
for the proposed new Gulf & North
western railroad. The railroad company
was represented by their secretary and
a number of directors.
The petition was granted and the
railroad company deposited cash suf-
ficient to pay for the election proclama,-
ton and all expenses the county VIII pc
to in calling an election. This petition
provides that the railroad shall run
north and south through Greeley coun-
ty and through the limits of Tribune,
the county seat of Greeley county. The
call recites, THAT if the bonds are car
ried by majority of the voters of the
county they shall subscribe for stock in
the railroad company to the extent of
$1,000 per mile, for every mile built in
Greeley county. but not to exceed
$70,O0O'
These bonds are not to be given the
railroad company and no stock is to De
received until the road is completed and
in operation, which shall not be later
than June 1, 1912. This proposed road
is to connect Seattle and Galveston.
Every county including Cheyenne. Wal
lace, Greeley, Stanton, Morton, Stevens
and Seward has been presented with
the same kind of a petition, and in each
case the county commissioners have
made a call for an election on the same
basis as Greeley county has. Sherman
county is at the north side of the state
and was the first to make the call, and
the bonds were voted, carrying four to
one in it's favor.
The object of the road is to run
through each county seat town, nearly
all of which are in a direct line north
and south across the western tier OF
counties. The management of the road
has given the voters to understand that
if the bonds carry that the financial
part of the rest of the road has been
arranged for. There is one thing sure
and that is that this would make di-
rect connection with the Rock Island at
Goodland, Kansas, and with the Rock
Island at Liberal Kansas.
The average distance between the
seat twons is about thorty-two
miles, this makes a long distance for a
team and an expensive one in an auto
mobile for the commercial and travel
ing men, and even the ranchmen who
have lived here for years this distance
seems long and they favor this PROPOSE
ton. and while the suggested railroad
schemes have been looked upon as
fake by IT, people of the whole west
end of the state of Kansas, they are
now enthusiastic over the chance,
which they think is sure thing.

Mrs. Stuckey viii Stay at Home
With Her Son.

Ottawa, Kan, Oct. IA free
man until the second week in jan
uary, by virtue of the bond given fol-
lowing the waiver of his preliminary
hearing on the charge of abduction.
w. M. Stuckey has gone to Chanute to
hunt a job. Mr.. Stuckey's last en-
ployment in Kansas was as minister
to the Christian church and editor of
the semi-weekly Star in Williams
burg. He hopes now to get work of
any kind that will support himself
and family and perhaps provide
something toward his defense in
court.
Stuckey has no definite work in
view, although he said that he had
received offers by mail of jobs pay
ing from SIS to 500 month.
Stuckey expressed the utmost con-
ddence in his ability to finally free
himself of the case.
II am going to get out of this
thing" he said, land get back up. L
believe every man ought to have
chance when he is down, and that's
bond is fixed, I'm going out to go to
work. 1 can find plenty of employ
ment at good wages to take care of
my family and myself"
Mrs. Stuckey Joined her husband
here accompanied by her small son,
and seems devoted to the man who
preferred a pretty young girl to his
wife.
MY husband is going to live this
down." said Mrs. Stuckey, land I'm
going to stand by him. He is going
to try for work at Chanute, and if
he doesn't get it there he'll keep go
ing until he does get it. I am going
back to Williamsburg. Any notion
that I'm going to leave there" said
Mrs. Stuckey, referring to expression
that have been made about Stuckey
since his return, lis a mistake. I'll
stay. All Mr.. Stuckey wants now is
a chance, and I'm going to do what
can to help give it to him.

ENDS HIS LONG FAST.
Judge O'Gara of Tribune Ate Nothing
for Twenty-Five Days.

Tribune, Kan, Oct. 11.-Judge P.
H. O'Gara, former police judge of
Tribune. Greeley county, Kansas, has
just finished fasting for twenty-five
days. For twenty-five days he abso-
1utely ate nothing. He is a man that
has weighed about $50 lbs, and now
weighs 204 lbs. After the twenty-sec-
ond day he took two spoons full of
matted milk. He has given the prop
osition of fasting a considerable study.
The story coming from Kansas and
especially from the western portion
may De looked upon as a joke, but
this statement can be vouched for by
any of the physicians of Tribune and
by most any of the citizens of the
town. During the time that the judge
was fasting he absolutely ate moth
ing, and drank only water, and then
only when he felt a slight hunger. He
slept we'll and slept about eight hours
out of the twenty-four.

CAR SHORTAGE INCREASING.
SurpIusage of Freight Cars Has Been
Entirely Wiped Out.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE railroads of
the country are face to face with a
freight car shortage. This fact be-
came known when the car efficiency
committee of the American Railway
association issued its semimonthly bull
letin, which disclosed the fact that the
surplus freight cars of the entire coun-
try has practically been wiped out.
Where a little more than ~ months
ago there were nearly 100000 idle
freight cars standing on side tracks
and in yards, there is now a small
shortage being experienced in several
lines of traffic.
The prediction is freely made that
before the winter months set in the
country will be facing the severest car
shortage in the history of this coun-
try. The statement of the American
Railway association is a compilation
from carefully gathered statistics fur
nished by all the mileage represented
by that organization. This takes in
practically all the roads in the United
States. It is shown that the actual car
surplus has been reduced to $3.50
cars, which is one-third fewer cars
than were available two weeks ago.

George Peterson Found Dead in
His Own Home.
Had Been Crossed in Love AZ
fair Five Years Ago.
LIVED AS A HERMIT.
Had Been Dead Several Days
When B0dy Was Discovered.
Unkompt Condition of Stock At
tracted Outside Attention.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. u.-Disap-
pointed in love, George Peterson, the
hermit of Mcpherson county, shot him
self in the kitchen of his farm house.
leaving his stock to go unfed, and his
farm to be neglected. Acting Coroner
Pierson called a jury which decided
that the man had come to death by a
revolver held in his own hands.
Peterson was found in his farm
house, dead, with a revolver lying by
his side. He owned a farm four miles
north of Mcpherson, valued at about
81, 900. His wealth is estimated at about
$4,000.
According to the report of the cor
oner's jury, which was based on when
the man was last seen, and the general
himself the Saturday before.
Peterson was about SO years of age.
He was born and reared near McPher-
son. About five years ago it is said,
he was bitterly disappointed in love.
Since, he has never appeared his right
full self. He was seldom seen in Nc
Pherson and never left the farm except
on the most urgent business. He en-
ployed no helper, and might have laid In
his farm house several weeks, had not
neighbors noticed the unkempt condi-
ton of his live stock.
1t is thought that worry over his love
affair prompted self-destruction. For
two years he has been regarded as I'M
SOuilu IneHldl1y, Dul DIS ne never dl-
tempted to do any harm, little attention
was paid to him and he was left I'M
molested
Sheriff Custasson of Mcpherson coun-
ty, who was called Immediately after
the mans body was found, spent two
days in examination before he finally
became satisfied that the man had not
been victim of foul play. Peterson
left a large sum of money in the house,
which was not molested. Evidently no
one but himself had been on the farm
for many weeks.

WIFE LEFT WITH FARM HAND.
Now F. A. Barrows of Great Bend Is
in East Looking for Couple.

Great Bend, Kan. Oct. If. A.
Barrows, a wealthy farmer and
stockman living near Galatia, Kan,
small village fifteen miles northwest
of here, has notified the sheriff that
farm hand by name of Wells had
eloped with his wife Wells, until re-
Gently, worked for Barrows, and was
discharged because Barrows became
suspicious While Barrows was away
from home yesterday, Wells and Mrs.
Barrows disappeared, leaving three
children to care for themselves until
the father returned. Barrows does
not care so much for the return of
his wife, but wishes to prosecute
Wells, who is said to be a soldier in
the regular army and is out on fur
Tough.
Mrs. Barrows is a nice looking wo-
man of about 80, rather tall and slen-
der and a blonde. Wells is a robust
young man of dark complexion and
dark hair. The Barrows children
are aged 8, 5 and years. Barrows
left for the east, where the couple is
supposed to be.
