Missing, J. w. G1enwood

Proprietor Acre of the Trego
House and c. E. Ridgeway, clerk
of the court are sadder but wiser
men because of their recent ex-
perience with j. M. Glenwood
alias W. r. Warning. Mr.. Glen
wood drifted into Wakeeney six
or eight weeks ago and rep
resented himself to be Kansas
City Star correspondent. He
took up his abode at the 'Trego
Hotel and in the course OF time
became acquainted with Z. b.
Ridgway who boards at the
Trego Hotel. One evening Mr..
Glenwood or Warning went to
Mr.. Ridgway and in very po-
lite and plausible way explained
that he was owing a dollar dues
in a certain lodge in Salina and
that he had failed to attend to 1T
while the post Office and banks
were open and would Mr.. Ridg-
way kindly write a check for
81 90. Mr.. Ridgwav did so and
received silver dollar in ex-
change from Mr.. Glenwood- War
ring. The same thing happened
a little later only this time it was
a bundle of laundry from Salina
and Mr.. Ridgway gave him an
other check for SLIGO and again
received the cash in exchange.
Nothing more was thought OF
the matter until Wednesday
morning when it was discovered
that Glenwood- Warning had
few de coop" and left behind
him an unpaid board bill. We
have not learned the exact
amount, and the two checks had
been cashed at the opposite bank
ON which they were issued. The
one dollar check had been raised
to $31 90 and the SIG one to
$41. 60. Both checks were cash
ed and Mr. Glenwood- Warning
had lost no time in getting out of
town. He was heard of at Limon
junction, Colorado aE up to the
present time he haAnot been To-
Gated. Mr.. Ridgway says here
after he will know who he is
writing checks for and Mr.. Acre
says no more credit will be ad
vanced for board bills especially
10 strangers. Efforts are being
made to ind him and if located it

ELEPHANT LOVE AT

Big Tom Loves Queen OF the
Yankee Robinson Show

You who visit the Yankee Rob

Tuesday, August Both, viii OBJ
serve one of the worst cases of
love sickness you ever enjoyed.
Big Tom. the largest elephant on
earth, has an affinity. She is
Queen of the Yankee Robinson
herd of elephants. Tom and
Queen were together years ago
with the old Robinson show
Twelve years ago they were sep
arated, Queen being sold to an
other show. When she was
taken away there was much ele-
phant sadness, and if ever there
was sorrow manifested was
when Queen and Tom said good
bye. They knew the ways of
the elephant world and were
impressed with the thought that
their cruel masters would never
permit them to see each other
again Both elephants took it to
heart. and Queen pinned away
in her sorrow until at one time
it was Thought she would grieve

the wounded feeling were healed.
Last winter Queen was purchas-
ed by Yankee Robinson and
brought to the winter quarters
OF the show When she saw
Tom, although he had grown
twice his former size, she recog-
nized him. No animal man pres
ent will forget that meeting. To-
day this couple are the Lappiest
animals in the world and the
way that Old Tom cares for
Queen is really an interesting
sight. Ask the elephant man
TO point out Queen when you
pass through the menagerie and
you will see the happiest and
most contented elephant in all
the world, unless it be Tom, who
loves Queen devotedly. All the
world loves a lover. and all the
elephants in the herd CORES
pondingly love Queen and Tom.

Kansas City Market Report.

y.
August 16. 1910
A moderate Monday run of
cattle here yesterday enabled
statesmen to secure an average of
steady prices yesterday, al
though Chicago had a big run
and lower market. Beef steers
showed little weakness yester-
day. but cows and stockers and
feeders sold strong, and calves a
quarter higher. The excellent
country demand keeps up, and
is the main sustaining feature
of the market, as traders have
bought many cattle away from
the packers yesterday and today
in order to sort out the thin cat
tie for the country trade, then
allowing the heavy end to revert
to the killers. The supply to-
day is larger than that of yes
terday, 10000 head, including
1000 calves, and the market is
steady on an average, steers
showing weak tendency again,
and cows and stockerS and feed
ers firm. A feature this week
is the small number of quaran-
tine cattle coming, less than
100 cars for the two days, yes
terday and today. This light
supply of Southerns does not
indicate that supply from that
territory is over for the season,
as owners are simply holding off
temporarily, account of better
grass and more stock water late
ly. The first train of mountain
steers from Colorado arrived to-
day, and sold at 20, and this
movement will increase from
now on. Top steers sold at S.
Is today. quite a distinction for
this market, as the best Chicago
could do yesterday on a run of
thirty cattle was SS.O5. Heavy
grass steers call at So. 25 to 81. .25,
medium and light steers S4 IS to
S.. "A, grass cows So. so to 81. .25,
veal calves Sc. 80 to S7.75. stock
ers $500 to $500, feeders 81. %
to $500
Hogs are ten higher today.
supply only $500 head. There
was decline yesterday, but it
was fictitious, as the general feel
ing among shrewd investors -
that the market Is gong to ad-
vance. Packers were slow too
get OF the bull side, but they are
about all lined up on that side
now. and with their interest in
provisions it does not suit their
purpose to break live hogs now,
on the light runs coming. Old
heads predict further gains on
heavies, and dropping back of
lights and medium weights, and
say that pigs will soon be selling
out at sharply lower prices.
Heavy sales of lard and side
meat in the last week, and the
belief in light runs ahead, the
account for packers completed
reversal on heavy hogs in that |
time. Sheep made a gain of Is |
to % cents to-day. lambs reach |
ing 500, and yearlings $5.65. |
Country demand is large, and |
S6.25 was paid for lambs yester,
day, and $500 for breeding ewes |
today, to go to the country. Fat |
weathers are $3.50, and ewes |
S4.3O for tops today. Utah |
range stuff has been making up
a good share of the supply lately, I
none is here today. |
The top lambs today came from |
the alfalfa section of Colorado.
