MARKET LETTER.
Report of Great Western Stock Mar.
ket at Kansas City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug
20, l9lO.-Trade in stock and feed
ing cattle here last week, although
the largest of the season, 500 car
loads to the country, was a disap-
polntment. Receipts for the week
were heavy, at $4,000 head, includ-
ing 10000 calves, and the proper
ton of stockers and feeders was
large. At the finish, the number
remaining in the pens showed an
increase of 5000 head over the
close of the previous week. There
was small advance on Monday, as
is usual at the beginning of each
week, in anticipation of brisk
business later in the week, but
prices began to sag on Tuesday, and
the close of the week was 20 to 40
cents lower. Demand for heavy feed
ers was not nearly up to require
ments, and a good many heavy feed
ers went to packers, because of the
advance of Is to 25 cents in prices
of killing cattle druing the week.
The best feeders ranged from $500
to $6.25, and Missouri and Illinois
feeder buyers took some fleshy
steers at $500 to $500. Best light
weight stockers sold at $3.50 to
$5.25, medium and common stock
ers and feeders $500 to 1915. The
run today is 1900 head, and the
proportion of stockers and feeders
is large. The market on natives is
strong to shade higher, as the ac-
emulation left over from last week
took some of the customary Monday
bloom off the market today. A
string of Utah feeders, 884 to $50
pounds, sold today at $500 to $500,
the latter price for the dehorned
end. There will be a big trade in
stockers and feeders this fall, from
now on, and dealers say that the
probabilities point to a continuation
of present range of values, or some
thing near them. Killing cattle are
strong to 10 higher today, prime
native beef steers worth $500 to
$3.50, medimu fed steers 800 to
$7.75, best heavy grass steers, fed
corn on the grass, at $500 to $7.25,
straight grass steers $3.50 to $5.75,
quarantine grass steers $500 to
1910, grass cows $3.50 to $4.25,
veal calves $500 to $7.75.

JUST SURPRISING.

Sioux City Journal: If William
Howard Taft had told Albert Baird
Cummins that he would recognize
the Cummins party as the republi-
can party of Iowa when the ques-
ton was put up to him in the fam
Gus document alleged to have been
written by Ora Williams prior to
the 1908 convention, do you sup
pose everything would have hap
pened just as it has happened in
the Cummins campaign in support
of essential principles of popular
government.
If the old guard in the senate
had given Senator Dolliyer that va
tee that prepared the senate tariff
bill, do you suppose Senator Dol
liver would now be using tooth and
nail against the Payne tariff?
If Speaker Cannon had insisted
on the enactment of a special tariff
bill reducing the duties on print
paper and wood pulp, in advance
of the general tariff revision, dc
you suppose all the uplift newspa-
pers would now be gouging the
political stuffing out of him?
If Taft had left Jimmie Garfield
at the head of the interior depart
ment and allowed Gift Pinchot to
run amuck with his conservation
ideas, do you suppose these eminent
reformers would now be denounc-
ing Taft as the blind tool of the
Guggenheims?
If Robert j. Collier found that
roasting Ballinger hurt circula-
ton" do you suppose Golfers
would now be roasting Ballinger?
If you feel the slightest inclina'
ton to answer all or any of these
questions affirmatively, you are but
child grown tall in politics. The
inside BASEBALL of the great
game is wholly beyond your com
prehension. You should go or
reading the uplift magazines and
newspapers and voting for thu mer
you believe to be right, as you are
given to see the right. Maybe some
good will come of all the ferment
regardless of the rottenness of the
yeast that set il going.

S75.OOO.OOO More.

The Payne tariff law has been in
operation just one year. During
that period it has produced a reve-
nue. greater by $75,000,00O than
the sum collected in any previous
year in the country's history, ex-
cept the banner year, 1907, when
the Dingley law went into effect and
the country took the first upward
bound from the depression caused
by the democratic Wilson tariff.
The Payne tariff was denounced
by the insurgent Iowa platform as
betrayal of party pledges, yet 1t
is greater money maker for the
country than any Of its predeces-
sors. The Press has urged all along
that the new law be given fair
trial before it is condemned. 1t is
justifying every claim of President
Taft Would it not have been bet
ter for the insurgents of Iowa to
have waited until it had had a
chance to prove its merits?-Ex.

TOWN WAS IN DARKNESS
Bearing of Big Engine at Power Plant
Got Hot and No One At River
Plant TO Turn on Power.

Martinsburg was in darkness for a
couple hours last evening, so far as
electric light was concerned, and con-
sequently peoaple were put to much
inconvenience.
The trouble came about by the main
bearing on the 1000 horse power Atlas
engine at the power house getting
overheated, so they had to shut down
and let the bearing cool off. The
darkness lasted from about ESQ to
$50 O'Clock.
To make matters worse there was
no person at the power plant AT Dam
No. to turn the power on. So Supt.
Shoemaker made flying trip down to
he river in an automobile, and by
$50 about two-thirds OF the incandes-
cent lights in town were on and short
ly after midnight the whole load was
on street arcs included.
The power was very uncertain to-
day, but Supt. Shoemaker thinks every
thing will be in running order iomor'
row.

HOW THEY LOOK UPON VIRGINIA
DEBT.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has the
following comment as an outsider, up
On the Virginia debt controversy:
Virginia and West Virg. MIA are still
fighting over those bonds. Ii has seem
ed at times as If they would come to
actual warfare. but now the matter is
to be left to the decision of
the Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States with the very prob
able result hat it will decide moth
ing bearing on the merits of the case.
II is one of the most curious instances
OF interstate litigation in our history,
and II is no wonder that lawyers disa-
gree over the situation. Before the
Civil war Virginia had gone into debt
deeply. in part for digging canals and
building railroads, but much for other
purposes, and hardly any of the $780,
100000 represented what is now pro
ductiye properly and not much OF 1t
in 1860 When Virginia rushed into
rebellion she created a large debt to
help The Cause, and when West Vir-
GINA broke away ii appointed a com
mission 10 think over the matter of
adjustment of the debt, but never
gave bonds to perform anything; in
fact has done no hing at all Virginia
denied the right of West Virginia to
secede under the Constitution which
was strange seeing that she rad al
ready seeded herself. In any event,
the West Virginians had the support
OF the Federal government. which was
better than any dry-as-dust arguments
of consti utional lawyers
Ever since the war Virginia has
tried by cojolery, by entreaty. by leg
islatiOn, or by legal proceedings, to
make her stepchild pay over some of
that money. She repudiated lot of
her debt as illegal and then assigne
a lot Of the rest TO West Virginia, and
this Is the matter that is to come be
Virginia do not seem to be in the
least alarmed over the situation They
do not propose TO pay the money in
any event, and it is hard 20 see how
they can be compe led to do so. even
If the Old Dominion wins in the courts
The claim is set up that Virginia die
all of the wrong, thai Western Vir
ginia never had any benefit of the deb
and that the only wise and honorable
thing for the people of old Virginia t.
do is to pay off all heir Obligations
This advice may be thoroughly disin

ONCE TROPICAL SECTION
Man Near Waynesboro Unearthed
Lemons, coeoanuts, Etc. In Sand
Bank rs Feet Deep.

While excavating TOR sand on his
farm at Tomstown near Waynesboro,
Pa, Geo. G. Rock one Of the large fruit
growers Of that section, made some un
usual finds.
For many years Mr.. Rock has fur
nished sand to builders, and it was
while he and large force OF men
were busily engaged in sinking a new
pit on his premises, at the foot of
South Mountain, and after reaching
a depth of IS feet, that the men be
gan to unearth many varieties Of
tropical fruits that were petrified
and had been buried in an avalanche
that took Place in the Blue Ridge
section thousands OF years ago
At depth of 70 feet, Mr. Rock
says he found lemons in a petrifed
state.
There were also cocoanuts and
oranges. which were so like those in
their natural state that the pores and
even the seed of one of the oranges,
that had been broken open with a

smaller nuts and the covering be-
tween the outer she'll that encased
the smaller nuts, was rough and
similar to that of the butter nut. The
latter was shown to Prof. Uhler,
geologist, Of Baltimore, Mr.. Rock
said and Prof. Uhler declared that
there was not in existence today any
fruit grown in the tropical regions
like it.
Mr. Rock also found while digging
In the sand pit, the head of horned
toad The horns stand out quite
plainly, and this is another thing
that is mystifying to biologists. 1t is
S ated that the horned toad was
never known to exist any farther
north in this country than the south
ern portion of Mexico-but Mr.. Rock
is in possession of the head of a pet
rified one that must have existed in
this region at one time.
