Special from United Press.)


 New Britain, Sept. 29-Horribly burned in a kerosene explosion in the kitchen. of their Bristol home, last night, Mrs. Mary Toncesk and her r. weeks-old son died at New Britain Hospital early today. When neigh bors came in response to the moth- CTS screams, her irstthought was of the baby.
 The dead woman was the wife of John Tonceuski, a foundry worker of Bristol. They had been in this coun- try three years. The explosion oc- cured while the mother was trying to start a fire in the kitchen stove, using the kerosene to hasten the kindling of the wood. The resulting flames spread to an adjoining bed- room, setting fire to a crib containing the infant. The chemical saved the house from total destruction.

Worlds Greatest Oil Well.

Missouri State Fair.

The eleventh annual exhibition of
the Missouri State Fair will be held on
the State Fair Grounds at Sedalia,
September 80 to October s. The
members of the State Board of Agri-
culture are the directors of the state
fair and they have made made an extra
effort this year in the way of exhibits
and entertainment.
The live stock industry of Missouri
has made wonderful growth since the
State Fair was established. The re-
ports from the 1910 u. S. Census show
that the value of horses and colts in
1900 was s42, ,0o5, 900 while in 1910
the value was $113, 708, 900 showing
an increase of over ITO per cent. For
Mules in 1900, SIS, ,4S2, 900 and in
1910 1858, 900 showing an increase
in value of 1s0 per cent. The value
of Swine 1900 was SO, $4,000 and
in 1910, $31, $4,000 The value of
sheep in Missouri in 1900 was S.
$4,000 and in 1910, $7,s75, 900
showing an decrease of over 1876. per
cent.
A reasonable supposition is that the
Missouri State Fair has had much in
fluence in the development of the
Live Stock Industry during the last ten
years for it is at the State Fair where
the best herds in the country are shown
and it is there where the farmer and
breeder gets his inspiration to breed
better live stock. The State Fair is
an educational institution that reaches
people who are past school age as well
as the young folks.

WAS AN INVENTIVE GENIUS
Man Devised contrIvanee for RivetIna

Why It Failed.

THAT man once invented great
labor-saving device that he expected to
make him rich, but his hopes all came
to nothing"
What was it?'
ut was contrivance for riveting
little knobs upon tho stingers Of honey
bees, thus rendering them harmless
He got his idea from seeing a cow with
knobs on her horns to prevent her
from goring."
why was it that his invention
didn't pan out?
That was the strange part of it.
soon as he would get his little knob
fastened upon the stinger of bee the
blamed thing would just sit around.
tapping on the floor Of the hive with it.
Before he had completed his invention
no bee had ever been able to make a
noise Of that kind. Well, sir, all the
bees that had knobs on their stingers
Just seemed to give up their ambition
as honey gatherers, and there they
would sit, proudly drumming on the
floor Of the hive, hour after hour,
while the bees that didn't wear knobs
would hang around listening, instead
Of going about their business. So he
had to give 1t up; but I understand
that he's working on a new thing
which he expects to turn out much
better"
What is it?"

The Market Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug, IA

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug, IA
1911.
Cattle prices spread out more last
week than any week before this sum-
mer, the best cattle selling strong to
25 higher, middle and lower grades IS
to 80 lower Some of the thin light
quarantine cattle were punished even
more severely, buyers seizing one of
the few opportunities that have come
to them this summer to bear down
prices. Nobody believes the depress-
ion will stick, because everybody
thinks cattle supplies thss fall are 60
ing to be slim all around. At Chicago
last week 5000 range cattle from the
northwest arrived, while year ago the
same week Is, 900 came in, and two
years ago $1,000 were received. To
day there is turn for the better here,
market strong to ten higher on all
kinds, the rise extending to the lower
grades. which were hammered last
week. The run here is $4,000 head
including 100 car loads of quarantine
cattle. A string of 26 cars of Texas
steers sold here today at $500, and
fair to good Oklahoma steers brought
S4.75 to $3.50, few down to $4.00.
Dry lot steers are accumulating value
rapidly, top natives here today at $7.75
best heifers quotable up to $7.25.
These are alluring prices to feeders
who are taking out desirable feeding
steers at $500 to $500. Improving
crop prospects encourage the buying
of stock steers, which sell at $3.75 to
$5.25. Grass steers from native terri
tory reached $6.75 today, bulk at
$5.2s to s6.35. A shipment of Wy
oming grass cattle is here today, en-
bracing horned beef steers, 1000 to
1900, at $500 to $5r49, grass cows
at S4.25 to $4.- rs, and few grass
yearlings, $50 at the big price of So
25. Calves remain steady, best 81 .00
The smallest hog supply of the year
came in last week, yet buyers had the
temerity tosstry to depress prices. No
body expected such spectacular rise
as has been witnessed in the hog mar
ket in the last month, and it don't set
we'll with the packers. The big fight
they put up last week prevented any
advance, and it even paved the way
for decline, which went into effect
today, 5 to 10 cents. The run today
is only 1000 here, top $3.50, bulk
$3.50 to $7.45, The cause of the
scarcity of hogs now is said to be be-
cause too many lightweight hogs were
shipped to market in May and June.
Sheep and lambs took on new life
the middle of last week, and the close
o fast week showed gain of 25 to 40
cects. Run is $4,000 today, market
strong. The first decent Utah lambs
OF the season arrived late last week,
and sold at $7.15 to $7.25. Eastern
Colorado alfalfa fed lambs 63 lbs.
sold at $7.15 today, and ewes in the
same shipment brought $3.75. Ari-
sona lambs bring up to $500, natives
about the same price. There is a
growing demand for feeding and breed
ing stock. and some feeding wethers
have hanged hands at S335, breed
ing ewes up to 81 65 in the last week.
