Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 2, 1912.- Cattle receipts here this week 29.- 600, last week 4,400, same week last year 43,700. The market has answered the slim receipts with a substantial rise in prices this week, steers getting the big end of it. Prime steers of big weight are wauted, and sell quarter higher than last week, tops here this week on different days $7.90. Middle class steers sell at $6C0 to $7.25, which is 10 to 9 cents higher than last week. That class has been helped by bids from Illinois feeder buyers, in competition with the packers. A train load of good feeders, weighing from 1075 to l340fb, most of them good enough to kill now, was shipped to Mon moath, Illinois, this week, at d cost of from $6 40 to $6 so. This busi- ness indicates the opinion of sea- soned feeders of the spring market for fat steers. Nothing decent in the feeding line sell under $6 co, and stock steers sell at $500 to $5.75 for nearly everything. Oil Mill steers have been plentiful this week, market 10 to 9 higher on them, sales at $500 to $6.10, bulls S4.60 to $490. Killers resist the advancing cattle market, and the Chicago trade paper of yesterday says buyers there shot the inflated market of Wednesday at that point full of holes yesterday, Continued light receipts can have only one outcome, higher prices, in spite of temporary victories of the buyers.
 Hogs received here this week 60000, last week 5,200, same week last year 54 800. The market has been uneven, but seems to be in- clined toward higher prices. Open- ing sales were strong to higher today, but the close was no better than steady. Top today is $6 s, hulk $590 to $6.3O, light hogs $575 to s620, pigs $4 90 to $5 %. Average weight here for January was l89tb, a small increase over average weight in December, but 37ib under the average weight in January last year.
 Sheep this week Az, 400, last week 52800, same week last year 31 400 Prices were higher Tuesday, but have sagged each day since, includ. ing a ten cent decline today. Top lambs brought $6.45 today, best yearlings worth around $5.25 wethers $4 60, ewes $4.00. Smaller receipts are expected for some weeks immediately ahead, and buyers still hope for recovery in prices.

nature of the case would permit re-
quested the noisy pair to accompa-
ny him to the city hall. Small
wood made a temporary get away.
Lee refused the Marshal's request
and even showed fight and sassed

RICHARD A. KIRBY,

James T. Bradshaw has aEnounc-
ed himself as a candidate for Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioners.
This is an office which means much
TO every citizen of Missouri and the
people cannot be to careful in Sc
lecting this officer. Jim Bradshaw
is we'll known all over Missouri. He
has done loyal work for Democracy
for years and this is the first time
he has asked anything for himself.
For years he was actively engaged
in the newspaper work, always
boosting Missouri and Democracy.
At the present Mr.. Bradshaw has
position in the Railroad and Ware
house department and is thorough
ly familiar with all the duties Of
that office and we believe that Jim
Bradshaw is a true man and can at
all times be found doing justice to
all who may have dealings with
him personally or with any Office
with which he may be connected.
Furthermore we believe that his
long service deserves recognition
and that the people will make no
mistake in electing him Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioner.

THE VOLKSFEST
Saengerbund Holds Open
House at Springs Park
For Friends

While it was unfortunate that
there was some rain early In the
evening, that handicap did not SER
iously affect the opening day Of the
annual Volksfest of the Delaware
Saengerbund at Brandywine Springs
Park, and the attendance was excep-
tionally large. All of the features
mentioned we're there, including the
German village, the German kitchen,
the German band, German lunch, ETC.,
and nothing was left undone that
would add to the entertainment OF
the visitors. Contrary to the evident
belief Of some persons, the festival
is not confined to Germans, for the
Saengerbund extends an invitation to
and welcomes all OF its friends. 1t
is a whole-souled body of men who
consider everybody else their friends
and desire to manifest their hospital
ity on just such occasions as this.
The Volksfest will be continued
this afternoon and tonight. It is To-
Gated between the scenic railway and
the lake, an ideal place, where all OF
the park visitors are royalty enter
tanned. In addition to the Volksfest
many of the park amusements are
running and will be all week, In

SAYS GYPSY
LADS POINTED
GUN AT AUTOTSTS

In addition to the complaint made
to the police by Mrs. Hackendofn, OF
Roselle, who charged sthat two boys,
members of the Gypsy band, encamp-
ed at Union street woods, threatened
to shoot her yesterday 'because'shesre-
fused TO allow them to ride in her
wagon, the police last night heard Of
more trouble Of this kind.
Last night James Firth, of Ninth
and Van Buren, streets reported to
Chief Black what he believed to have
been an attempt to hold him up as
he was passing the Gypsy camp. He
said he was driving along the Elsmere
road in an automobile with two wo-
men companions, when he noticed two
Gypsy boys in the road. AS the auto
approached one of the lads, armed
with a rife. placed the weapon TO his
shoulder and aimed it at the occu-
pants of the machine. Mr.. Firth said
he does not know whether the rife
was discharged, as he hurried from
the place and the engine of the car
might have drowned the noise of the
report, if there was any. The boys
are believed to have been the same
ones with whom Mrs. Hackendorn had
the trouble.
People living on the extreme west
ern side of the city object to the
Gypsies and many complaints are
heard. The Gypsies, however, have
paid the required State license OF
$500 and a long as they pay rent
for the ground they occupy and COM
NIT no depredations the authorities
cannot order them away.

development of municipal markets,
