POLITICIANS MAY
 NOT BE HONORED

New Orleans. May flowing to the numerous controversies which have dis turbed the New Orleans school system in recent years over the naming of schools public building and parks for men prom inently identified in politics, bill provid- ing for the abolishment of such christen- ing practices is being prepared and will be presented to the legislature which meets at the capitol Monday next.

PAGE WANTS A VOTE ON
 CONGRESS MILEAGE GRAFT

Washington he is allowed something more than s70. The new senators and congressman from Arizona spent not more than $50 to get to Washington and drew in mileage more than $500 each.
 The system has glaring inequalities in that members who live at great distances receive large sums of money for nothing while those who live near Washington get but small amounts. For instance, the Virginia member who lives just across the river in Alexandria gets but little ben eft from this stupendous graft. He comes in on an electric car for 15 cents, He only receives about $5 in mileage.
 MT. Page says he wants the members to go on record with a vote on the propo- sition.

Stock Market

Kansas CITY Stock Yards, March, 4th,
1912. Unfavorable shipping weather
sA over the West reduced receipts of
live stock at the markets about one
fourth, and prices advanced sharply on
all kinds of cattle except stockers and
feeders, which classes held only steady
The action of buyers last week, in their
anxiety to secure some of the small
crop of cattle every day, disclosed the
emptiness of their pretentiOns that
meat channels are clogged, coolers over
stocked, etc, thus tearing off with a
single movement most of the stock bear
arguments that have been in use for
some weeks past Killing cattle ad-
vanced Is to 80 cents during the week,
under The stimulus of the active COM
petition of buyers who heretofore balk-
ed on an average run. Country buyers
are still holding aloof, account of the
extreme scarcity of any and all kinds
of feed. Another storm Saturday has
cut down the run of live stock consider
ably to-day, though supply of 5000
cattle got through to the selling pens
here to-day. The market to-day is
steady to 10 higher, the killing kinds
getting the advance, as they did last
week, and stOckers and feeders selling
steady. Top steers sold at $7.85 to-day,
but if prime lot were available, it
would 60 above eight dollars. Bulk of
the native steers sell at 5000 to Sac,
heavy cows up to $575, heifers $6.75,
bulls $5 So, veal calves $500. Forty
loads of quarantine cattle came i'll to-
day, and sold high, half the steers at
$500 TO Sc 90, balance downwards to
$500. Estimated receipts for tomorrow
are 5000 cattle here, which should be
handled af steady prices.
Hog receipts last week were only
40, 600 head here, the lightest week this
year, and the market worked upward
about IS cents. The run is 5000 to-day
prices up 10 to Is cents, top $500, bulk
of sales $6.25 to $655, light hogs 500 to

while the run of 1900 estimated for
tomorrow here may halt the upward
tendency. sentiment favors higher
prices Immediately ahead. Receipts
are apt to run light this month, account
of muddy country roads for one thing,
and the opening of spring work IN the
country, for another.
Sheep and lambs caught the bulge in
prices going round last week. aged sheep
closing a. quarter higher, lambs not
quite as much. No first class lambs have
been received here lately, buyers COM

has been against feeders, and lots of
