DROP IN LIVE STOCK.
Hogs Have Declined $3.50 a Hundred
From the High Mark.

Kansas City, Nov. -17.-Live stock
dealers say that from the highest
prices of 1910 declines have accrued of
$3.50 a hundred pounds il prices of
hogs, S4.45 in the value of lambs and
$3.50 in the market for fat cattle. The
top prices paid yesterday were $7.55
for hogs, $3.50 for fat steers and $5.75
for lambs, per hundred pounds in
each case Yesterdays market was
what commission men call "a bad
one," with sheep fifty cents lower and
hogs fifteen to twenty-five cents lower
than on the preceding day, and cattle
fifteen to twenty-five cents lower than
on Monday.
Receipts of all kinds of live stock
were considerably larger yesterday
than usual and larger than on the cor
responding day last year. Packers are
so confident of plentiful supplies of
live stock for some months to come,
because of the big corn crop, that they
are buying only such animals as they
need for current orders. which, they
say, are smaller than usual.
Dry weather in the West is begin
ming to be something of a factor in de-
pressing the market. Scarcity of stock
water is said to be causing anxiety
among farmers in some sections. In
Southwest Kansas and Oklahoma,
where cattle are pastured on the fall
sown wheat, the dry weather is max
ing it necessary for farmers to keep
their stock out Of the fields.

new FAST TRAINS.
VIII Run From New York to Chicago
in % Hours.

Chicago. Nov. 17.-Indications Of the
quickened competition between the New
York Central and Penns ylvania lines for
the passenger traffic between Chicago
and New York, expected to result from
the extensive terminal improvements
in the eastern city are seen by rail-
road men in the announcements by
both big systems of new train service
to be inaugurated on November o. the
date of the opening of the Pennsylva-
MAS new 500 million dollar terminal
and tunnel into the heart of Manhat-
tan.
With the opening of the new tunnel
under the Hudson river upon the ar
rival of the fast trains leaving Chicago
on November 25, the Pennsylvania will
for the first time secure a direct en-
trance with its rails to New York city
proper, eliminating the necessity of
ferry trip from Jersey City.
Inc Pennsylvania is thus in sense
invading what the New York Central
has long considered it's strong hold as it
is the only road to reach the heart of
the city with its passenger trains.
On the date of the tunnel opening the
New York Central lines will put on an
entirely new p hour train to be called
the Lasalle street limited, as a COM
pliment to the Chicago bankers and
brokers that will constitute a large
percentage of its patronage while the

POLICE CHIEFS TO MEET.
Morris jenkins Will Attend the WITCH
tia Meeting Next Month. @

Morris jenkins, chief of police, plans
to attend the meeting of the Kansas
chiefs of police in Wichita some time
next month. The object of the meet
ing is to discuss plans for driving
crime from the state and perfecting
stronger police regulations.
The movement for meeting of the
police heads was suggested recently by
the Leavenworth chief of police and
L. Davidson and James H. Mcpherson,
chief of Wichita. In the next few
days invitations will be sent to the
heads of police departments in every
town of consequence in Kansas, ask
ing them to attend the gathering.
The invitations are being sent out
with the sanction of Mayor Davidson
of Wichita, who thinks the meeting
will result in much good for the towns
of the state. He said that no doubt
many new ideas as to the enforcement
of the city ordinances would be gained
by every representative present.
Chief Jenkins is of the opinion that
a discussion of the ordinances in vogue
in other towns will benefit the police
heads and have tendency to secure
better city laws. The convention will
take up such questions as the illegal
sale of liquor, cocaine and other drugs;
also the best methods to adopt to sup
press pickpockets and stop every form
of crime that is practiced in the cities.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made with
the Wichita Comm ercial club to enter
tain the representatives of the police
departments and the Kansas cops will
be taken in automobiles on seeing
Wichita" trip.
The date of the meeting has not
been announced but proba bly, will be
held early in December or the week
before Christmas holidays.

From Boston Press.

Progress in medical compounds
never ceases, and now it is stated by a
prominent medical mansthat any deep

be actually cured in five hours by the
clock. Opium and morphine have
been resorted to in the past as relief
measures. But now it is learned that
the system must be treated to rid it of
Inflammation and congestion. A tonic
laxative cough syrup does the work so
quickly and thoroughly as to be almost
magical. What heretofore has taken
weeks to cure can be accomplished in
hours. Get this formula filled or mix
it at home and always keep it on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark
one ounce compound essence cardioI
and three ounces syrup white pine
compound. Shake the bottle and take
twenty drops every half hour for four
hours. Then take one-half to one tea
spoonful three or four times a day I'M
til the system is purified and tones up.
Give children less according to age.
One filling will usually cure a whole
family, as the dose is small.

We are not producing foodstur enough We must enlarge the farming area of the earth, we must apply scientific principles to farming; We must adapt ourselves to conditions as best we can while we are going through the slow, tedious process of making the soil yield more abundantly." of hat

Reptiles as Peta.

How strange are many of our preju. dices! To illustrate this in common affairs, what boy is there who shrinks from picking up a frog? Moreover what young fisherman hesitaies to dig worms for bait. or handle them? Yet these same youngsters will shrink with loathing from a small snake The first impulse is to kill the reptil~ as horrid thing But the little brown or green snake of our country roads Is cleaner and nicer to handle than frog or an angleworm. He is usual ly harmless also. and If gently treated will make an amusing plaything.
 This prejudice is the result of GUS tom and education In some nations such reptiles are not dreaded. Lizards . and snakes are tolerated as well as butterflies. and are even used as pets. If you catch butterfly and give him taste of moistened sugar on your hand you may release him. He will not fly away, but will remain perched on your finger and continue to feed roads may be tanned to take files or millers from your hand, and so may the little gray lizards which abound In some portions of the country
 Kindness will work wonders with many of the inferior creatures which we hate or despise., Yet the prejudice against them is hard to root out. Often 1t exists unconsciously.
