KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
J. A. Rickart, Correspondent.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. I'll
Too many short fed cattle the first
half of last week at all the markets
caused prices to sag, and at one time
in the week the market was off 25 to
S5 cents on nearly all kinds of killing
cattle, including cows and heifers. The
last two or three days of the week
brought small supplies, and some re-
covery in prices, but the net loss for
the week was substantial, running
from 10 to 25 cents. A big lot of the
short fed steers sold below cost price
early in the fall, and it looked like a
case of beating the other fellow to it
with most feeders. Urgent advice to
hold OFF, and the knowledge of the ad-
verse effect of the Thanksgiving holi-
day this week on the beef market,
managed to stay the hands of the
shippers to a certain extent today. and
the run is only $4,000 head. All the
markets are lightly supplied, and the
sensitive nature of the market is ap-
parent in the rise of 10 to Is cents
today. Heavy steers have been es-
pecially under the ban, the babies"
having the call, and some yearlings
sold at the top today, $725. Steers
weighing above 1900 pounds are slow
to move at this time, and it is a ques-
tion for owners of such to decide
whether they have overstayed the
market, or whether they will be able
to come back. Most of the steers com
ing are short fed weighing twelve to
fourteen hundred pounds. and $5.25 to
$500 gets them. Cows sell at $3.50 to
$4S5, heifers up to 5000, calves $3.50
to $500, stockers $3.50 to $4.75, feed
ers $4.00 to $5.25, bulls 1926 to $4.35.
Hog receipts last week were $4,000
head, only five thousand head under
week last year The
market went down 55 cents during the
week, and there is no stopping it to-
day. Run is $500 today, price off 10
to Is cents, bulk of sales $40 to 1920.
top $7.271a, paid for heavy weights.
The increase in receipts has been
largely hogs weighing 1870 to 220 lbs,
showing that the country is revising
It's practice of feeding for weight.
While the run does not yet justify the
rapid decline in the market, dealers
predict the six dollar hog early in the
winter. Cheap food products of all
Kinds are cutting down meat consump-
ion.
Sheep and lambs broke fifty cents
N single day last week, and slowly
and lower other days, leaving the mar
ket in bad shape at the end of the
week. Run is $4,000 head today but
there is revival in prices, of 10 to
l5 cents. Best lambs are still under
six dollars, top today, not very toppy,
1T $3.50, yearlings today $4.35, wethers
worth 1885, ewes $365, feeding lambs
b4.40 to $4.75. Reliable figures from
Kansas and Missouri put the number

To the Editor of The Gate City.
CHARLEVOIX, Mich, Sept. 21.-For
a score of years resorters have been
coming here for pleasure and health
and every season one may hear argu-
ments more or less animated, On the
porches and in the verandas of the
hotels, as to what the name Charlie
voix" means, and where it came from,
and as so many different and conflict
ing answers have been given l finally
concluded to ransack the archives of
the village to see If the matter could
not be settled.
There Is a beautiful little Carnegie
library here and at last, among the
reports of the pioneer Society of
Michigan" I found that this county
was once called by the euphonious
name of "Reshkanka" l declined to
pursue the investigation of that name,
but was satisfied to learn that in
1S43 the Michigan legislature changed
tie name "Reshkanka" to "Charle-
voix," in honor of Francois Xavier de
Charlevoix, a Jesuit missionary and
traveller who has written some six
large volumes about his trips from
France to America, through Canada to
Hudson Bay, back to Quebec, then on
a tour of the great lakes and then
down the Mississippi And apropos OF
the recent hoax about the remains OF
De Soto, / might add that this his
torian Charlevoix credits Father Mar

of the Mississippi river. Marquette,
like Charlevoix, was French Jesuit,
who was not only a successful mis-
sionary, but a scholar and a man OF
science, and already his name Is at
tached to railroad, a river. city
and a diocese in Michigan. He is at
least the discoverer of the upper
Mississippi and one of the first naVl-
gators of that river, and the history
of the discovery of his grave at ST
Ignace is very romantic and interest
ing. When the Jesuits broke up their
mission at st. Ignace on account of
Indian persecution they set fire to
their house and chapel, and returned
TO Quebec. The site of the chapel
was soon lost. An Indian tradition
related how a black cross at st. lg-
mace. 'pointed out" the good fathers
grave. and an old Indian woman at
Petoskey always claimed that "kitchi-
wa-ka da-na-co-nag gay or great priest
had died at the mouth of the river
and his body was carried to Minis
sing" or St Ignace, And finally was
located the site of the mission chapel
founded by Father Marquette in 1870,
in potato patch belonging to MI
Munov. and upon digging down, there
was found enough to satisfy the ex-
nlorers that this was the grave of Mar
quette.

Indianapolis, April 6.-The Indiana
Republican convention adopted plat
form that ignores the Payne Aldrich
tariff law and declares for only pro-

When Senator Beveridge, in his

were received with storms of applause
from the delegates and the crowded
galleries.

Farmers should eat
more oatmeal.

Although the farmer of today is able
TO buy almost anything he wants to
wear or to eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food values when it comes
to his own table.
If he has been watching the extern
sive researches and experiments on
the question of the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all sides to "eat more
Quaker Oats.
Quaker Oats is mentioned because
it is recognized in this country and
Europe as the best of all oatmeals.

HITS "RAGTIME" PREACHING
Bishop Mcintyre Gives Advice to
Young Methodist CIereymen

Saratoga, N. Y, April 11.-"Rag-
time preaching" from pulpits with
poetry, politics, literature and travel
as themes, was condemned by Bishop
Mcintyre of st. Paul, in an address
before the class of candidates seek
ing admission to Troy Methodist con-
ference.
Bishop Mcintyre told the young
men they would attain success by not
following the custom of clergymen
who serve religion cold" to their con-
gregations, but by ardently preach
ing the great truths of the church. d"
He also counselled them to be content
with small salaries and not to be con-
tinually seeking for better clerical ap-
pOintmentS.
