THE STOCK RECEIPTS
 WERE RATHER LIGHT
- s5-i' - ' r..--. 2 .


 KANSAS CITY; Mo, May 9. = Total cattle receipts last week fell be- low thirty thousand head, and the spread of prices between the finished cattle, and warmed mp kinds was not as pronounced as is due at this sea- son of the year. Prime cattle sold firm all week, and the demand for cheap beef is such tnat the lower grades were readily taken without much decline. Packers are insisting on reductions on the medium priced cattle, that have been selling under $7.25, but so far have been satisfied to refrain from cutting. the price much, because of the free arrival of grass and cake cattle from. the South, which latter sell at $j-to $6.5O, and fill the bill for low priced, meats. The run today was estimated at 5000 head early, but totaled 900 head before the final count was made, account of a big run in the quarantine division. Steers are selling strong. to 10 higher, nothing strictly, choice. included, top SS.l5 and bulk of steers. in native division at $6.50 to $7.9O, a.few com mon steers under $6, quarantine steers lat $49O to S7.5O, beet fed. steers up Ito SL70, and corn fed Colorado steers at $s.10, for. one lot. Cows, bring $4, to $6.I5, heifers $4.75 to s740,. bulls S4-25 to s6.5O, veals $6.5O. ts $7.5O for best. The limited. offerings of stock CTS and feeders are holding steady with recent declines, and the demand is ample to, absorb the supply, stock CTS at S4 to $6r feeders s5.25, to s6.2O.
 Hog supply last week was 52,OOO head, fairly liberal for this year, but 3O,0OO head less than same week last year. Packers are disappointed in the hog runs, and are ..fOreed to pay stronger prices this month than they had counted on, in fact the market is advancing a little .eacn, week, and now stands at the highest point of the month. Run today is 5000 head, mar ket five higher, after an attempt on the part of buyers to get them at steady prices, top $9,624a, bulk of sales close up to the tep- at..$9.45 $9.571a. Lignt hogs b4ing up to $955 and total spread in prices is not more than '25 cents, between. top and bottom for all weights, except pigs, which bring around 1925. -..>
 Sheep supply is about, normal for this season of the year, and the mar ket is dropping the last week-or two. Recent imports of dressed mutton from Australia, and the fact that 12,- 900 carcasses are enrOute for that port have had depressing influence, and packers are determined to put the price at figure that will wipe out any profit that might be made on the expected importation. The run is 5000 here today, market 15 to 9 lower, lambs worth $7:50- to $9, about $S.5O the limit on shorR lambs, weth- CTS worth up to $6.50, and ewes at $4.JO to $5S5. Texas. muttons are sharply lower than recent prices, and range from $425sto' $5.75, goats worth around '$355. Packers are buying very few goats, but -eOuntEy demand is strong, and sufficient tO.take every thing offered at the price mentioned.

MILLION DOLLAR MINING
 SUIT IS TRANSFERRED

When the civil calendar was called
 in the District Court in Tombstone,
 the case of John GleesOn vs. Martin Costello, for accounting and dissolu- tion of partnership, was granted a change of venue to the First Judic-
 ial District of Arizona, at Tucson.
 This case has become known as the Million Dollar Law Suit" because it involves mining property and op-
 tions to the extent of over $1,000,- 900, says the Tombstone Prospector.
 The complaint alleges that during the month of July, 1903, the plaintiff was the owner of a certain option on mining property situated in the Tur- quoise mining district and that the plaintiff, the defendant and James Reilly entered into an agreement whereby they formed a partnership for the purpose of taking over the option owned by the plaintiff, and paying to one Patrick Power, owner of the claims, the sum of s2O,OOO, which included partial payments al ready made to Gleeson.
 It was understood that all prop erty acquired by the partnership should stand in the name of tae de- fendant, Martin Costello, in trust for and for the use of said partner ship.
 At the time of forming said part nership, said Gleeson did not have the money necessary to pay his said pro portion of the capital required for such purpose, and said Costello agreed to advance such portion on behalf of Gleeson and to secure said advance transferred and assigned to defend ant as security certain promissory notes of the Copper Belle Mining company, a corporation, for the sum of $53,OOO, together with mortgages securing said notes on certain min ing property of said corporation.
 Further that said partnership bought mines and took options in the sum of many hundred thousand dollars. The complaint further al leges that the defendant, Martin Costello, claims to have acquired and to own all the interest of the said James Reilly in the said partnership, and all property acquired; and also that the defendant denies that any partnership exists or ever existed, and claims to be the sole owner of the mining properties. g .-=.-,.
 It is claimed that the defendant mas appropriated to his own use the proceeds of the sales of certain min ing property and refuses to account for the same. The plaintiff has de- manded of the defendant at various times an accounting of the affairs of said partnership and the payment of said GleesOn of such sums as may De lOunu uue tO PldlntllA anu 1uAIhoi that the said Costello convey to plintiff an undivided one-third in terest in property belonging to the said partnership, and an assignment of one-third of the money to be here after paid under the options now held, all of which the defendant has refused to do and still refuses to do.
 The case involves much mining property sieuated in the Turquoise mining district and the outcome of the same will be watched with much interest.

BURGLAR TAKES BEST
BRAND OF CIGARS
HENNEMAN'S STORE is
PLUNDERED OF GOODS
Marauder Takes Advantage OF Snow
to Stock up on Good Smoking Sup
ply-Nothing Taken but Cigars.

Some time between the hours of
midnight and daylight this morning. a
burglar entered the Henneman cigar
store on Main street. Entrance was
gained by means of the back window,
but so far the proprietor and the en-
ployes have been able to ascertain
nothing was taken from the store
with the exception of four or five
boxes Of good cigars.
The burglar not only knew his bus
mess but he also knew the difference
between a good and a cheap cigar. So
far as could be discovered nothing
was taken except cigars which retail
ed at 25 and S5 cents each. No ef-
fort was made to open the safe and
the cash register was unharmed
though nothing would have been
gained by tampering with 1t, since II
contained nothing but trade checks
The burglary was committed before
it stopped showing so that his foot
prints were blotted out, leaving moth
ing for the officers to work on in theil
efforts to apprehend the burglar
They are on the lookout, however, fol
a tramp who was in the store las
evening, ostensibly for the purpose o
begging the price of meal, but pos
sibly to size up the conditions within
the store.
Since the front windows of the stor
were frosted over the burglar wa
able to work as long as he desire
without fear of being seen from tn
outside.

SEOUL ALIVE WITH
PLOT AND INTRIGUE

Seoul, Corea.-The Minister of the
Interior in the Corean Cabinet who
recently visited Japan is reported to
have made certain proposition to
Marquis Katsura, the Premier, look.
ing to an amalgamation OF the two
countries. The widespread circulation
of this report, together with the fact
that members of the cabinet are IA
voring anexation movements. may be
regarded as purely political move
ment set on foot by the enemies of the
present cabinet and the disgruntled
"outs."
For the present, at least, the under
taking to oust the cabinet has been a
failure, for the last two or three weeks
Seoul has been full of whisperings
and all sorts of rumors have spread
from the inside and out until one was
reminded of the old days Immediately
preceding the deposition of the then
Emperor. Certainly the palace of the
new Emperor has been place Of con-
siderable discussion over the situ-
alton, and the Emperor is credited
with having been an extremely active
intriguer.
Viscount Some is determined to do
everything in his power to offset the
activity of those who would create
disturbances, but unfortunately the
Resident General, having been in ex-
tremely poor health, cannot be as ac-
tive as his home government might
have wished. There Is reason to be-
lieve that the movement has been
instigated by those who have In the
past profited by bad government. and
who, under the regime Of Prince Ito,
were put in the background.
