Situation Is Alarming.

The United States minister at Havana
advised the State Department TO-DAY
that the negro movement In Cuba now
appears much more alarming and wide
spread than was at first supposed. Al
various points conflicts have occurred
between the rural guard and small
bands of negroes. the rural guard SUI
fering several casualties.
Armed bands of negroes have ap-
peared near Havana and also at va
rious places in the provinces OF Oriente
Nav 20 burned a landing stage az
Cruces of the Cuban Central railroad
and the negro leaders are threatening
to destroy other foreign property.
Considerable alarm is said to exist al
Santiago and at Sagua la Grande, and the
negroes, who are well armed, are stealing
horses at various points The govern
ment is sending troops to the anecteo
provinces, and the president expresses
confidence in the ability OF the govern
ment to crush the movement.

longing to the Juragua Iron Company

for the action taken.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. l. 1912.-
Medium class steers slumped of IS to 30
cents more last week, as all the markets
were favored with considerable influx
of that kind of cattle from pastures in
Kansas and Nebraska particularly, and
from other sections. Cows and heifers
were scarce, and sold firm, and quaran-
tine steers, through lacking quality held
up steady, in line with butcher cattle gem
orally. Stock steers eased off Is cents and
feeders dropped down half dollar, be-
the grass now. The decline in country
classes was solely because OF the large
supply, as the demand for them was great
est of the season, and country buying the
heaviest. More than 1900 cattle went
out to country points, about 45 per cent
of the total supply for the week. Re
ceipts today are heavy, $1,000 head, in
Guiding $500 calves. The market is fol-
lowing the same lines as last week, steady
to weak. Prime cattle are firm all the
time. and lok safe some time thead, best
here last week $1O.90 feature sale to-
day is some 1,159 pound Colorado grass
steers, from Gunnison at $3.50, others at
$7.35; these were choice, and were as
high as any time this season. Kansas
pasture steers range from $500 to $3.50,
and stockers and feeders range from
$3.50 to $40. Cold weather and frosts in
last few days will hurry shipments from
blue stem territory, and prospective pur-
chasers of stock cattle or feeders will find
the next week or two the best time to
buy this fall. Hog prices are firm, but
the market is at point beyond which,
it is hard to pass. Run today 5000, prices
5 to 10 cents higher, top $s.72; bulk S. As
to $50. Heavy hogs brought $50 today,
and that kind will soon lead the others.
Sheep and lambs are weak to Is cents
lower today, run 25 600 head. Prices are
going down steadily in the face of bull
predictions from nearly every trader.
Feeding stock is coming freely, and should
be plentiful some weeks ahead, lambs
for the country now selling around $6.15.
fat lambs today $3.50.

held in Milwaukee the last of this

Il am confident of winning recogni-
ton at least" the city inspector af-
frmed, land am hoping to come out
somewhere near the top. The milk IS
of particularly high grade, both as
to cleanliness and as to butter fat
content. Moreover, interest in the Mil
waukee exhibit is very gratifying; the
difficulty is not in securing co-opera-
ton, but in selecting which milk it Is
best to send, all but three last month
being in class 1, signifying clean.
Il am delighted with the prospects
of fine exhibit from your city," wrote
the superintendent of the Milwaukee
milk department, to DIR. Babb, land am
glad that you expect to attend the
show
The contest is unusual in that any
milk may be sent, and there is no
clause specifying that only a fair sam
pie of the liquid will be considered.
DR.. Babb opines that this clause was
omitted owing to the fact that many
dealers spent much time in preparing
milk of extra quality, then swore an
affidavit labelling it as a fair sample.
The milk from Topeka will be sent
iced to the limit, and MIXED in a way
to keep it as free from bacteria as
possible. The seven dealers who have
been chosen to enter the contest are:

The old stone culvert, one and one

bv a culvert of concrete which has not

cent of money. The stone culvert was
good for several years but it's mode OF
construction was such as to cause the
automobilists considerable worry. This
worry has been eliminated by the con-

Frank S. Pratt, of Wakarusa, is re-
spcnsible for the new culvert. He re-
allied the benefits of good bridges as
we'll as good roads. He preached the

fered to pay the sum of $50 toward
the construction of the new structure
Mr.. Pratt then presented the matter
to a number of Topeka people and
in practically every instance. they have
responded with donations of 81 each.
The cost of the new culvert is $S5.95
and Mr.. Pratt has made collections or
received pledges which will aggregate
about $65. Among the Topeka people
who have donated to the construction
of the culvert are: w. I. Miller, w. w

The Other Defendants.
Most of the other defendants are

from Massachusetts to California oc-

The Indictments.
Each of the 80 indictments return

against all of the defendants, and the
charges are embraced in three
groups. They are:
Transporting dynamite and nitro |

state to another; as Ortie E. Nc i
Manigal confessed was done when !
these explosives were carried in suit
cases from hiding places at Muncie,
Ind: Rochester, Pa, Tiffin, o.; and |
indianapolis, to cities where JOBS
were to be blown up. |
Conspiring to violate interstate reg

Most of the explosions of which the
government has made a record were
directed against members of the Ma
tional Erectors' association, an Or
ganization of constructors who had
broken off relations with the union
and were conducting open shops"
The first explosion or attempt record
ed was at Miller's Falls, Mass, in the
summer of 1905 and the last Oct. Is,
