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

Kansas City, Sept 20, 1872
Last weeks stoeker and feeder mar
ket started OF with a flourish, but
liberal cattle supplies came in each
DAY after Monday, and by Thursday
values had settled back about %
cents on good kinds, and more than
that on middle and common grades.
Total cattle receipts here for the
week were 1900 head, including
5000 calves, and Of this number
5000 head were bought for the
country. Three loads of useful ma
tive stock steers, not Jerseys or IIol-
stems, sold Thursday at S4.75: two
weeks ago these steers would have
commanded $685.. Others at $500
We're like the $3.50 cattle of two
weeks ago. A Northern Iowa feeder
took out two loads OF nice stock
heifers, pretty fair fieshed, weighing
$40 pounds, al $4.90 on Thursday.
This buyer also took with him two
cars of range feeding lambs, 81
pounds, at $500. The run of cattle
here today is $4,000 head, including
1000 calves, indicating another weel
of fat cattle receipts here. The ger

lower, but stockers and feeders are
selling with considerable spirit, firm
in some cases, steady to lower in
others. There are a good many buy
ers here today, who realize that there
will be only few more weeks Of
heavy cattle receipts this season. In
November the runs will begin to
tighten up, and whatever the trend
of prices may be then, the available
cattle for the country will be scarce.
Texas and Oklahoma raised more
cotton this year than last, but within
the last week dealers in touch with
the situation say there will be fewer
cattle fed at the mills this winter
than last, which is important if true.
There Will be more cottonseed meal
and cake to dispense to northern
feeders, and less cattle to compete
with the cattle fed in the corn belt.
Prime steers have been an unknown
quantity here for ten days, though
they are quotable up to $10.S0.
Branded steers sold up to S10.10
today, but medium Westerns are half
a dollar lower than q week ago, sales
at $3.50 to $S.25, including Colo
radios at the former figure. Quaran-
tine steers sell at $4.25 to $5.75,
native grass cows 1915 TO $4,000,
veal calves $500 to $3.50, bulls
$3.75 to $500.

She Wanted Music.

Speaking of songs, it is told that
the other day a young lady from a
nSighboring town went into dealer
here for sore sheet music. 'Instru-
mental or vocal?' asked the dealer.
Yes, Put Your Arms Around Ne
Darling; Everybody's Doing 1t Now, y
said the young lady.
'Ahem, ahem, well, 'er, | hate to
do that right here now, said the
gentlemanly dealer, But if you will
call again this evening""
The yourg lacy started for the
door, blushing and explaining that
she meant the songs, and out she
went.

Foolish Habit Of Swearing.

After years of thoughtful conrem-
plation on the subject of profanity,
we have arrived at the conclusion
that there is absolutely no excuse for
swearing outside of a newspaper Of
fee. In the office it is a very sue
cessful adjunct in getting out a paper
and extremely helpful in proof read
ing and indispensibly necessary III
getting the forms on the press. II
has been known, also to materially
assist the editor in looking over the
paper after it is printed, and comes
as balm to wounded feelings when
the linotype man makes it read and

family should be tabooed as a very
foolish and wicked habit

\ Neck and Tail Race.

Il was once one of the parties 10
the very closest nearest or tightest
foot race | ever heard of, said the
Old time westerner, who is now work
ing with the Knoxville sewer diggers.
1t was thiswise: | was out on the
prairies near Cheyenne in the fall Of
&C. and strayed away from camp with
out knife, gun or club. Presently
saw the ears Of some animal sticking
up from behind boulder and quite
rightly figured that they belonged 10
an antelope. | commenced figuring
on how TO capture it and finally de-
Cided to slip up and catch the animal
by the tail and kick it to death. Drop
ping down on my hands and knees, Il
crept srealthily forward until that
short little taillet was not over two
feet from my finger tips. Great Sit
ting Bull, but how my palms did itch
TO grasp that tail and begin the kick
ing act. What a surprise il would
be TO the boys to see me bringing in
the fresh meat! Finally the supreme
moment came. | made a spring
and caught the tip ends of the hair
of that animals tail between my
thumb and finger just as he leaped
TO his feet and bounded away, me
still holding to the little hairy fringe.
Well, TO make long story short, that
buck ran west to the Green river,
north into the Yellowstone country,
southeast to the Black Hills and ali
over twothirds of what are now the
states of Wyoming and Nebraska. All
that time | was clinging TO that bit
of hair and that animal unable to
gain enough TO break my hold and
me not sufficiently fleet of foot to
make an extra step and grasp him
squarely by the tail. Finally he
stumbled into a prairie dog burrow,
but he was going so fast that he
slipped right out of his skin and ran
over three miles before he fell dead
from loss of blood. | fell with the
antelope and sprained both ankles
and scarcely knew what had happen
ed until | woke up next morning and
found myself wrapped up in the fresh
skin and nearly chilled TO death
During the next two weeks the boys
rode their ponies around that queer
race track and | have their word for
ii that in several places my tracks
were 1917 feet apart. You bet-it

HE Blind SDOl

In every eye there is a little spot
that is totally blind: Young eyes,
old eyes, sharp eyes, dull eyes, blue
brown or black eyes-all of them,
even the most perfect, have, in each
retina, little round spot which is
wholly blind both to brightness and
color This spot is located just at
the point where the optic nerve en-
ters and IS approximately one-twelfth
of an inch wide. -
Several interesting experiments
can be made to prove the presence
CT this blind spot. For example,
cover the right eye with the hand, or
a bandage, and gaze with the left
eye steadily at point on the wall
or screen about seven feet distant.
Let apother person be seated against
the wall on your left hand side, in
such a position that his forehead is
On level with the point at which
YOU are gazing and his near cheek
about twenty inches distant from it.
Do not turn your eyeball, but gaze
steadily as al first, and his face will
disappear, and the wall will
seem 10 be perfectly blank. If you
spread a sheet of paper on the wall
and not the points at which pencil
moved back and forth by another
person appears and disappears, you
will be able to make an accurate map
of the blind spot us projected on the
wall.
Another experiment IS performed
by painting nine larse letters in three
vertical columns Of three letters each
upon sheet Of paper. Hold the pa
GER at such distance and in such
position before the eye that the cen
raj letter of the square falls within
he blind spot, while the surrounding
sight letters are still yisible.-The
Christian Herald.
