Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, April 19, 1912.- Cattle received here this week 28,400, last week 21,5OO, same week last year 33,200 The cattle market lost some of its lustre this week, because of slightly more liberal receipts. but it still retains enough color to make it distinctive. when compared with any market anybody ever heard of before. New high records were made Tuesday on steers, at $855, heifers and steers mixed, yearlings, at $8.25, and cows at S7.00. In the case of heifers dealers say the price noted above was never equaled here before. The other records noted are for this year. Chicago's top this week was $8.75, only 20 cents above Kansas City, and buyers here protest that prices here on butcher steers, weighing around l200tb, and costing $7.25 to $7.75, are actually above prices of that kind in Chicago. Country buyers went against the high market to the extent of paying $700 to $7.50 for the best feeders, and $6.00 to $6 D for stockers, but the week is closing quarter lower on country kinds. The range country has furnished a small number this week, some sugar mill steers Mon- day at $760 and $7.80, weighing close to 1200tb, being the feature consignments of that kind. Quar- antine offerings have been reduced this week, 70 car loads in all, and a new high price for this season was also paid there, $785. Some South Texas grass steers are here today, rather low grades, weighing 760fb, which brought $500. A smaller run next week, which is prophesied, will lift prices little.
 Hogs received here this week 44,300, last week 40,6O0, same week last year 72,800 The market crept upward first of the week to the eight dollar nitche for top hogs, around which point it seems

 Mohave Miner: About 30,0O0 head of sheep are being sheared at the shearing pens east of Kingman. The animals have been grazed in this section the past month and are in fine condition. The greatest part of the sheep are owned by J. 1. Munds and Frank Purcell. While the losses from lack of feed have been quite large the sheep owners bringing their hocks to this county have been rewarded by get. ting early grass and weeds and greatly improving the young that had survived the hardships of the past month or two.

Abilene Busy Place.

The University Daily Kansan tells
how Abilene makes visitors think 1t
is a busy town.
Strangers who visit in Abilene go
away with the impression that it is
the busiest place in the west. Cause
why? This is it: The Commercial
club owns an old switch engine and
three box cars. When it is necessary
to impress a visitor, the steering
committee takes him to the Union
Pacific hotel, and then the switch
engine and cars are stated. They
run back and forth in front of the
hotel till the stranger sits up and
takes notice of the traffic rush.
Fine advertisement.

I'M cemetery with an eloquent eulogy
by Rev. DR.. Blayney. a personal
/ friend of the deceased.
DR.. McShea was born at Belle
Vile, Ontario. March 1S. 1888. He
was of Irish descent and his parents
we're pioneer settlers in Canada. At
an early age he was forced into the
world to earn his own way and he
resolved to obtain an education. BY
persistent effort he graduated from
the Belleville high school and later
from the state normal school at Tor

years in western Ontario he attended
the state university OF Michigan at

efforts for the welfare of his loyal
patrons, sparing neitEer time nor
energy. DR.. McShea was raised
strict Episcopalian, to which faith
he was loyal throughout his life'
although he has been a member OF
the M. e. church for many years.
Form and creed meant little to him
as he lived his religion in his every
day life, honesty and uprightness be-
ing the foundation stories upon which
he built his character. Always In
terested in civic and political issues
he has held many offices Of trust
by the voice of the people, both In
Illinois and Kansas. He has been
Mason for over so years, that be-
ing the only order he ever cared to
unite with.
In 1852 he was married to Mary
H. Mcleod at Exeter, Ontario, and
for almost half century they shared
the Joys and sorrows of home life
together. She having passed into the
beyond year and half ago.
The following members of the
family survive him, three children
Mrs. Ell. Arnold of Chapman, J. G.
Mcshea of Muskogee Okla, and Miss
Maud Mcshea of Chapman; four
grand children, Mrs. w. A. Smiley
of Junction City, Ercil Arnold OF
Chapman and Gladys and Royal Nc
] Shea of Owansco, Ills; one great
lgrand child, Edward Smiley, and one
brother, T. B. McShea of Indianapo-
lis. Ind. To these the memory OF
his life will ever be benediction.

OYSTER BAY, July 20.-How to form rev party without appearing to boss In doing it, is one of the hard est problems Colonel Roosevelt is fac ing with the national progressive con- ventiOn bus a fortnight away. The CO., lonel was asked today what arrange ments hau been made for the cOnven- tion in the way of the usual machinery for sucn assemblages and he replied that he did not know much about it.. There would however be no boss or ru- lership.
 Controller w. A. Prendergast of New York city will probably name Roose- welt for the presidential nomination. Judge B. B. Lindsay of Denver, usu- ally classed as a democrat will make one of the secOnding speeches. It is assumed that no other name than Roosvelt's will be presented. For vice president the name of Lindsay and Governor Johnson, of California and others are mentioned.

 MOTOR SCHOOL
Idea as Original as It Is Exclusive Occurs to Man agers of Arizona Motor Co.,; Free Course at Sign of Arrow

In line with their always progres-
 siVe policy, the Arizona Motor com
 pany of North First street, known
 from Maricopa county to the Canyon
 as the originator of the sociability
 tour and over all the state as sole agents for the products of the inn
 mense Studebaker auto factories. has
 inaugurated a feature of educational
 worth. the Automobile School.
 The lessons will be arranged in a
 series of lectures by experts of coun-
 try wide reputation. Thursday nights will be the time of class meetings. the first to occur on the evening of the eighth of July at o'clock At that time the subject of discussion will be Ignition, the Coil.
 Owners and prospective buyers will be admitted to the courses absolutely free. the only return the Studebaker people ask being the increased eff ciency of their output due to more careful and wiser use of the motor cars. The lessons will extend over a period of about eight weeks, or until September F, and will cover every thing necessary to the comprehensive care of the automobile. The engine | as the most complicated part of a i motor car, will be taken up in two successive weekly lessons, and other subjects will range from the radiator and cooling system to the transmits sion. A complete motor will be | placed upon the floor and object les l sons will be drawn from it's intrica- ces. All the explanation will be | made in a clear non-technical way so | even the most unVersed can under stand it. Expert mechanics will be present to strip any part desired for | inspection, and tables. charts and all 1 other appurtenances of the training 1 school will be in constant use. Of | particular interest will be the innu- | merable illustrations used to enlighten
 the lectures. They will be drawn from every phase of motor construc-
 tiOn and repair work.
 1 The live ones at the Stakeholder plant kept up their reputation for sales last week. J l.. Holmes, an auto man of widest experience in

DEFENSE WANTS
 ONLY A WEEK
It Has Only Two Witnesses to Be Heard and One of Them Will Be Darrow Himself; His Wife to Be Excused
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl

LOS ANGELES, July 2O.-Not more than week will be required to com plete the case of the defense in the bribery trial of Clarence Darrow, ac- cording to Chief Counsel Rogers When the trial will be resumed on Monday morning Lecompte Davis, who was associated with Darrow in the McNamara defense probably will be placed on the stand. Owing to various phases the case in which he took part or had knowledge of. it is expected that Davis will spend some time on the witness stand. Attorney Davis and the defendant are the only remain ing witnesses to testify for the de- fense.
 Early in the trial it had been plan ned to have Mrs. DarroW take the stand but because of a recent illness from which she has not fully recov- cred it hos been decided to spare her the ordeal
