The Texas Kids

Morris Sheppard is to succeed Joseph w. Bailey in the Senate And he is but thirty-seven years # age, though he has already served ten years in the House. Mir. Bailey was but two years older when he come to the Sen. ate. and though he retires under fifty he is a veteran statesman- and more than that he is classed as one of the ablest men the South has sent to the Senate since the war. Sheppard has stood the ten year test which Texas exacted from Bailey, and he measures up to the high standards imposed by the Lone Star State. As an orator he Is considered quite equal to Bailey, though his manner is entirely different. Bailey has been a veri- table warrior, and in his early days would fight at the drop of a hat" Sheppard is mild hammered, slckly looking. but he i possesses dynamic force that has won in his service Tn the House, and while Bailey is q hard pacemaker to follow, yet
 Washington confidently expect: that the new Senator will make good.

SUIT BROUGHT TO
 TEST ELECTION LAW

Attorney John D. Yates, in be- halt ofGabriel Armiyo and Louis Chavez, has started an action i'll superior court intended to test the new election law
 On August 5th Gabriel ArmiJo and Luis Chavez appeared be- tore the county recorder and ask ed to be registered. They were required tn read the constitution in accordance with the law, which they either could not or would not do Application and atfidavits were at once filed and Judge Ling ordered an alterna- tive writ of mandamus issued, commanding the .ecorder to ap- pear in court to-day, Aug. 10th, and show cause for his refusal to register the plaintiffs.
 They allege that they have liv- ed here as good citizens, paid their taxes and voted regularly during the past thirty years, and demand to know why this privi- lege Is now denied them.
 The principal contention to be made is that they can not be de prived of vested rights-that IS, the right of suffrage having been granted them during the last 80 years, 1t can not now be taken away from them, qualification or no qualification. Regardless of what the decision may be oI this court the matter is one that will have to be taken to the su preme court for final settlement St. Johns Observer.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 12. 1912-Cattle receipts here last week were 54,600 head, which was l5,O00 more than in the previous week Generally speaking, the top half of the supply advanced I5 to 25 cents, and the lower half declined about as much. The lower grades were more plentiful, hence an easier mark for the hammers of the buyers. The ten dollar steers arrived early in the week, and by the end of the week had ceased to excite much comment, several lots selling at $l0.00 and $l0.10 during the week. The run of cattle to-day is barely 17,000 head. which is 2,000 less than the final count last Monday. Good rains in Kansas and Oklahoma last week kept some cattle at home to-day. and also started delegation of feeder buyers market wards. That favorable combination will influence the market this weeb. which means another good week for sellers. The market to-day follows the lines laid out last week, good cattle steady and easily sold, medium and common ones weak. Pasture cattle from Kansas formed big share of the run, and the good ones sold at lbs seasons top figures. Saffordvilte car ried off the honors with some $e1o grass steers. Greenwoo sold at $7.O0 to S8 65, and North Central Kar SUB steers at $7.S0 to $8.75. Only 100 cars of quarantine cattle came in, the steers selling at $500 to $6 50, steady prices. A shipment of Utah cattle here to-day sold at $5.10 for the COWS, and $6.00 to $500 for the steers, prices very inter- esting to Mountain cattlemen. Illinois buyers paid $7.65 for feeders to-day, and faucy stock steers bring up to $675. Another bunny supply of hogs came in to-day, 5000 head, and prices took their natural course under such Il run. 5 to 10 higher. Top hogs brought $S .371s, bulk $S15 to $S35. Packers . are empty handed, and as long as the public sticks to pork and beef. and sidesteps the cheaper mutton. live animal prices will reflect that choice. 7 Spring lambs are off Is to 9 cents to- l day, tops $7.25, paid for good Utahs. Fair to good ones sell around g co. and good wethers are going at s4.OO to s4 50, ewes around $500 Receipts of sheep and lambs to-day 15,00O here, largely from Utah and Arizona.
