for the conservation of the crops she
raises and this, with the knowledge
of the climate, soil and adaptable

Market Report.
Kansas City Stock Yards. June 5.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 5, 1911.
The cattle run last week footed up
80, 900 head watch was 900 more than
previous week, and 5000 more than
last year. The market on fed steers
above the middle grade was strong all
week, and a new high top for spring
months, at $e,35, was made. Below
the middle class steers prices declined
a little, because of the increasing
number of cake fed cattle from the
South now being put on all the mar
kets, which latter class answer the
same purpose as the cheap corn fed
steers, and do not cost as much mon
ey. The spread between the best and
the worst has thus been widened
something that should have happened
t. the market months ago. The run
today is 5000 head here, only two
thirds as large as on last Monday.
There are fewer dry weather cattle
here today than week ago, but there
are more quarantine cattle, but the
shortage today is mostly In corn fed
cattle. These are selling strong TO-
day, in fact all kinds are stronger,
though stockers and feeders are con-
siderably lower than a week ago, the
decline on those classes in the last
ten days amounting to 25 TO 60 cents,
most on stock cattle. Top steers to-
day s6.15, bulk of steers from corn fed

Men Who Work In Shadow Of
 instant Death

Tn all the vacations in which a man can make a living in the United States there is none more perilous than the manufacture of gunpowder and none in which the public, which usually suffers severely in case of accident, takes so small an interest. The word gunpowder itself carries suggestion of peril which is reflected in all the superstitions of the men who work in the trade.
 The men who work in powder plants are a study in themselves. Probably in no other business do the human agents take more precautions against disaster with such pitiful results.
 Men who work in powder plants are in constant fear of death. They are face to face with peril every second. Instead of growing hardened to it. as do the laborers in many other fields of danger, they appear to be the most superstitious class of men on earth. They are we'll paid. A man who has nerve enough to work at this trade is worthy of his hire. He can command S10 a day, sometimes $20 He prac- tically makes his own rules, since he is the one to suffer from an infra action of them. His every suspicion is re- spected by his employer. He cannot is a matter eternalIy in dispute, as in other kinds of labor, but he can dictate the conditions under which he works from the moment he enters the factory until he leaves.
 These superstitions seem absurd sometimes, but they are the law of the gunpowder factory. If you are an employer you break the law at the risk of financial loss; if you are a fel- low employe you violate it at the risk of your life.
 One of the first laws among the em- ployees is that of self preservation They have a deep rooted fear of the casual visitor. Few men have gone through a. gunpoWder plant out of mere ct 0oity. They are not wanted and are told so frankly. If they suc- ceed in obtaining the permission of the superintendent or possibly of some one higher in authority they are subjected to an extraordinary ordeal before they are admitted to the sa- cred precincts.
 First they are searched, and no po- lice official is more adept in the art of "frisking'' than is the outer guard Every piece of metal from pocket knife to garter clasp-every coin, match. suspender buckle, everything that could possibly strike a spark, Is The hatband of the most fashionable derby is examined with care to see that it carries no metal initials. And this examination is not carried on alone by the official whose | favor you have gained A represen- tative of the employees take an active l part in the examination, and if he | has any doubts he will politely request | you to Gtrin to tho skin. se

M'GINNITY SAYS
 HE WILL NOT SELL
Newark Owner Denies He Has Given Option on His
 Club

Newark, July ,17-Joe McGinnity, owner and manager of the Newark team. declared last night that. the story which appeared in a New York newspaper in the morning to the effect that he had given an option on his club to a syndicate of local capitalists headed by Frank Mihlon, sporting man, is all news to him. Joe denies he has given an option to anybody or that he is going to sell
 l, Early in the season, when. the att tendance was not as large as it had been in former seasons an emissary who it is said represented Mihlon, who also is interested in the velo- drome, asked McGinnity what he would sell out for, and Joe named a figure that was prohibitive. That was the last heard of the matter until a few days ago, when the Iron Man, piqued because he had been hooted by some knockers on the bleachers after calling" them. announced that he was ready to sell.
 That McGinnity will retain the club until the end of the season at least is emphatically declared by his friends as well as by Joe himself The man who claims an option on the club refused to tell who is associated with him in the alleged syndicate. He says he will see McGinnity this week and talk the matter over with him.

Once inside the powder factory you are under even more careful scrutiny Your shoes are taken away, and you are provided with felt slippers. Con- no piece of metal which under any provocation could strike a spark, you may feel at liberty to roam around, but yoU are not. Your every move ment is watched carefully, and should you make a gesture calculated to in spire distrust you would be hustled out of the building and told to leave the neighborhood within a given time.
 I had graphic illustration of the extreme care taken by these men to prevent an accident and to save their own lives. After having been care fully searched, and after having sur- rendered everything which might al I was admitted to the plant. Se- cure in the knowledge that I was thoroughly "disinfected," assumed a nonchalance which I was far from feeling as I watched the various pro- cesses of making gunpowder. I was so well at ease that I drew a tooth pick from erny pocket and calmly picked my teeth.
 Instantly I was thrown to the floor and while two husky men held me a third searched my clothing. When finally I was released it was explain ed to me that they feared the tooth pick might be a match.
 Laboring under the constant fear of death, the employees grow extraor- dinarily superstitious. Once allow a woman to set foot within a powder factory and the entire force will quit It is one of the axioms of the trade that woman brings misfortune, and 1t is useless to argue the question: A woman photographer for a newspaper on a Sunday assignment" once was admitted into an Illinois powder fac tory by an inexperienced official. and the next day the plant was shut down. The employees struck. The plant re- mained idle until an entire new force was ecruited-Chicago News

 EASY MONEY FOR OUR BOYS
Mechanics Make Tom COnnery Sad by ClOuting Hartford
 Twirler Hard
(By Wagner.l

Scout Arthur Irwin of the New York Americans was sitting beside Manager McCann on the bench yes terday at Steeplec so the Me cfanfcs fell all over themselves to make a good showing. They unload ed a ton of base hits at the expense of Pitcher Rossbach and trampled on Hartford by 14 to 9. Tom Connery Gloomy Gus Soffel cracked one over the fence in the first inning but he kissed himself good bye when the Mechanics got going in the third.
 Rossbach didn't have anything on the ball and the Mechanics combed him for IT jolts, including home runs by Kaun and Hey and triples by Crook, Hey and Stowe.
 In spite of the complaints of the bad diamond, the teams did good work in the field. Gus Soffel was the only one to get an error on ground bali Shincel and Moves had mis- plays on bad throws and so did Litschi. Soffel lost his nerve and finally turned his back on the hot drives that came his way.
 Tom Connery split finger in catching a throw to first and retired in favor of Herman Shincel. Si Mo Donald, the former Waterbury catch CT, whom the Senators secured in ex- change for Mutt Waters and $400, had difficulty in handling Rossbach' s delivery and was finally sent to first to let Shincel catch.
 Bridgeport played fine ball in the field. Lou Litschi knocked down a. hard one from Hart's bat in the sixth and threw to Stowe for a force out of Soffd. Foot Ruell made three good stops and Tom Crook was in fine form. Rocky Stone held Gibbs up in great style.
 There were three home runs. Sof- fel hit the second ball pitched in the first session over the right field fence with nobody on base. In the second Benny Kauff sent Hi Ladd in ahead of him by driving a liner into the tent in left field Skipper Hey put one over the right field barrier in the seventh with nobody on the paths.
 Freddy Gibbs was the hurler for the Mechanics and he had the Sena- tors clinging to the ropes. He gave them seven scattered hits, famed eight and passed two. The score:
