WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Report of Conditions of Western
Stock Market at Kansas
City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April
1S.-The stocker and feeder trade
last week did not reject the decline
in fat cattle prices, choice feeders
bringing up to 5000, and the gen.
eral run of prices holding around
steady at 1925 to S5.75 fer bulk
of sales. Receipts of cattle were
fairly liberal here last week, about
thirty per cent running to stockers
and feeders, outgo for the week a
little above 10000 head. The basis
of the strength of the stocker and
feeder market at this time is the
expectation of light receipts of cat
tie this summer and fall. Experts
say that grass cattle supply at Kan
sas City the last six months of this
year will fall 10 per cent short of
last year. There has been SEN
timent current for some time that
cattle supplies will show a great
shortage within the next year. 1t
is by thinking of these things that
prospective buyers fortify them
selves, when they buy stockers or
feeders on the market against the
advice of commission men. Advice
against buying stock cattle is rare,
however, and there is no advice
given against buying stock cows
and heifers. Prices on the latter
run from $3.50 to s4.75. Fleshy
feeders around $3.50 are considered
the dangerous proposition. Cattle
run here today is $500, market
strong to 10 higher, fed steers in
native division $3.50 to $685., quar-
antine steers $4.75 to $3.50, native
cows $500 to $5.35, heifers $4.75
to $6.15, bulls S4.25 to S5.25, veal
calves $500 to $500.

AN IMMENSE HIT.
Rain SEorE Scene i'm 1.-THE Goddess
of Liberty Rarest Treat ON
Modern Stage.

The rain storm scene at the
opening of the third act of "The
Goddess Of Liberty" musical
comedy watch Mort H. Singer is

the immense hits of the production
from a scenic standpoint and is
promised as the rarest treat of it's
kind in the history of the modern
stage.
Mr.. Ned Weyburn, who staged
the entire production of THE Cod
dess of Liberty" is famed 20 little
these days, for his. rain scenes. But,
in this play he las surpassed all
former efforts in at least one di-
rection--the realistic stroke of
lightning that flashes across the
heavens and fells within an instant
a giant tree that forms part of the
shelter of the plays hero and hero
inc.
Whole audiences have been held
spell-bound for several seconds after
the tree has crashed to the stage
ground, debating in their minds
whether they had witnessed real
ity or only surprising piece of
modern stagecraft.
One of the critics in Chicago,
where popular demand kept the
show running continually for one
solid year at the Princess theatre
before Mr.. Singer could start it on
its tour that the rest of the country
might be permitted to share in the
excellent entertainment, 1.-The Cod
dess of Liberty affords, declared
that the storm scene itself was we'll
worth a trip to the theatre, not to
mention the multitude of other good
things offered"
This musical comedy possesses
more catchy music, more pretty girls
than any other production of this
character now on tour, not except

Singer sends us includes such we'll
known players as Violet Seaton,
Robert Wilson, Johnny Fogarty,
Florence Guise and Elita Kane. The
chorus is just chucked full of
sprightly, dancing, vivacious maid
ems, who will simply dance their
way into your heart. This play
holds a record of over one year at
the Princess theatre, Chicago, and
enjoyed a delightful run at Weber S

COURT IS
SAVIOUR
OF YOUTH
DIVINE LAW SUBSTITUTED FOR
CRIMINAL CODE
BRADFIELO AIDS DELINQUENT
Sick and Starving Mother Causes
Grover Lad to Steal-Judge
Investigates and Plays Lady
Bountiful to Family

The laws of man were ignored by
Judge Bradfeld in the county court
Tuesday afternoon and the Divine
law was substituted IN the case OF
Fred Berry, a Is year old youth of
Grover who was charged with jul
venile delinquency. AS a result of
this unique Interpretation of his
office as judge of the county court,
Judge Bradfield has ayerted ignomy
for the lad and saved the life of the
stricken mother, whom the boy was
trying to provide with the bare ne
cessities of life.
Young Berry was charged with
stealing a pair of shoes from a
Grover merchant. The case ap-
peared as many others that come
into court. An investigation made
by the judge showed that while the
boy might be technically guilty,
there were circumstances in the
case that placed a different light on
the theft.
The boy and his mother lived on
homestead near Grover The
mother was bed ridden with huge
tumor. Although the lad did his
best, the pair were slowly starving
under the stress of circumstances.
In desperation the lad stole the first
thing he could get his hands onto.
When Judge Bradfield learned of
the circumstances. he refused to
prosecute the case as dictated by
the criminal law. Instead, he order
ed that the sick woman be taken
to the Greeley hospital where she
was relieved of 4O-pound tumor
Yesterday and today is reported as
being in a fair way to recover. Pro-
vision will be made for the boy to
make his way in honor and he will
be given help in his task of taking
care of his mother.
