KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
ooooooooo ooo o o o
Riekart, Correspondent

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 10
The cattle market is slowly climbing,
new limits being set in the various
classes almost every day. The last of
the Hendricks cattle were sent in last
week, and they brought the best prices
of any of that string, which has been
in process of marketing for several
weeks past. Middle class oil mill
steers bring $3.50 to $500, one drove
in the quarantine division here today
selling at $6.25. and string in the ma
tive division, weighing 1882 lbs, sell
ing at $500. Some of the light steers,
under 1000 lbs, sell at $40 to $3.50.
Total receipts of cattle here today are
about normal for Monday, 10000 head.
showing that railroads are in pretty
good shape. Everything in the native
division, as well as in the quarantine
division, sold strong to 10 higher.
lStockers and feeders do not find much
call during this extreme weather, but
1.-The demand is up to the supply, and
lprices remain steady, stockers $4OO to
ls3.5O. feeders $500 to $5.75, few fancy
feeders at $5.85 to $685.. Veal calves
Iare higher. best at 1925. 1t appears
hat most feeders are trying to get theil
cattle on the market this month, which
may point to some bare spots in Feb
Iruary and March. If that is true, i
might pay to hold some cattle back, il
lspite of high cost of feed.
Hogs arrived freely last week, an'
= were warmly welcomed by packers
though the market had its ups ant
downs. The run is 1900 here today
market 5 higher, some light hogs t.
: 1O higher. Top here today is seas
only a fraction under top in Chicago
bulk of sales here today $6.10 to $6.4C
The quality is improving here, averag
! weight last week 1870 lbs, which !
leight pounds heavier than averag
weight in the month of December. Vo
= ume of receipts show no signs of fai
ling.
Sheep advanced % to 40 cents las
i lweek, and lambs made even create
Igain, although there was a sag in tn
II market at the end of the week. TIL
o run today is 10000 head, and the ma
ket is back up to its best time, hume

WILL ASK COURT TO
AUTHORIZE BONDS
VIII Make Slight Raise in Taxes as
Levy For $4,000 Issue Has Been
Made For Two Years.

The city council met in call session
last night for the purpose of taking
up the proposition of issuing $4,000
funding bonds, for the purpose of TAX
ling up the old warrants, issued in
1907, 1908, and 1909, for which there
were no funds to pay.
The attorney general has just re-
Gently refused to approve the $4,000
Issue, voted by the citizens in 1909, to
take up the warrants up to that time.
The attorney gave as his reason for
refusing to approve this issue tnat the
lproper procedure had not been fol-
lln%ed lie also pointed out the way
lin which this matter could be disposed
fof, as it had been in several other
towns, the bonds for which the SUI
preme court of the state mandamused
him to approve.
! A representative of SpitZer & Co.,
of Toledo, Ohio, met with the council
last night and offered to purchase these
bonds and furnish all blank bonds,
legal procedure, etc, necessary to set
the issue approved. The bonds will
be taken at their par value. That is
the bond company will, in effect, cash
all of the old warrants at par, if one
thousand dollar, twenty-five year pei
cent bonds are issued for each thou
sand dollars worth of the warrants sc
purchased.
After considering the matter care
fully. the council decided to accept
this proposition. and an ordinance was
passed providing for the issuance o.
$4,000 bonds This will take up tbs
entire outstanding Indebtedness, ex
cept the bonded Indebtedness of tht
city, and will place the city on cast
basis. The issue will also take vi
the interest on these warrants.
The procedure for this issue will b'
through the district court, and in th'
ordinance, published elsewhere in thi
issue, the date is fixed for hearing
in the court, at which time any tax
payer may demonstrate against the is
snanee of these bonds.

STATE COURTS HAVE
NO JURISDICTION
Judge Brewer Holds State Tribunals
Are Without Jurisdiction in
Such Matter.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 15.-Two cases
involving important questions of law
affecting the five civilized tribes of In
dians were passed upon today by di-
vision No. 2 of the Oklahoma supreme
court commission in an opinion by
Judge Brewer.
In reversing the action of the district
court of Carter county which granted
an Injunction to restrain the hearing
of an allotment contest before the COM
missioner of the five civilized tribes
and dismissing the case of Judge
Brewer holds that the courts of the
state are without jurisdiction in such
matters and cannot enjoin contest
when pending before the commissioner
of the five tribes.
After title had passed from the or
iginal allottee, Buckner Burns, Choe
taw Indian, to H. A. Ledbetter, an
other Indian, Della Bowman, brough
contest claiming q better right to The
allotment than Burns. LedDetter ant
others went into court and got an in
junction restraining the contestan
from further proceeding in the matter
The erection of state following tn
adoption of the Oklahoma constitution
did not remove any of the restriction
Iagainst the alienation or disposition c
the allotted lands of the Indians, az
cording to another opinion by Judg
Brewer, in which he held that leas
given by Choctaw Indian in violatio
of the terms of the Atoka agreement
void. The case is that of A. j. Chal
man versus ]. G. Silver from the di
ltrict court of McClain county and a
Ifirmei.

CRUCE WILL CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
Free" Capitol Settling Down to State
Expense-"Reasons" For Move
is Plainly Seen.

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 17.--From a semi
official and reliable source, The World
has learned that Governor Lee Cruce
will call a special session OF the state
legislature to meet about March 10.
The astensible purpose of the special
session will be to enact some state
capitol legislation, as a result of Ok
lahoma City's latest attempt to foist
the expense of building the state home
onto the state itself.
For the past two weeks, persistent
rumors of a special session, emanating
from semi-official circles, have been
in the air and have. created more than
little interest in all circles. A pub
lie official, very close to Governor
Cruce, stated to reporter yesterday
that the proclamation calling special
session had already been prepared and
would be announced before very long.
The cIamoring is Strongl
II this be true, and there is no rea-
son to believe that it is not, there
will be much rejoicing among the
democratic politicians" of the state
who have been clamoring for a special
session of the state legislature ever
since the national congress passed the
congressional reapportionment bill
Governor Cruee has steadfastly refus
ed to aecede TO the demands from al
sides that he call a special session fol
the purpose of passing redistrictine
bill, he stating that he did not believe
that such legislation was important
enough to put the state to an expense
of 10000 that special session
would cost.
] Pressure o.. all kinds has beer
brought to bear on the governor, anC
he has almost been read out of th'
party by politicians who have accused
him of playing into the hands of th'
republican party.
Easy to End reason"
ABOUT lUTcG Nttho d5O OhAethOAAs
City devised new scheme to buil'
the state capitol, which it long ag'
pledged to do without cent of COS
to the state. This new plan actuall,
means that the state will bear tn
largest amount of the cost of building
state capitol.
Governor Cruce has seized on thi
as reason for calling the special ses
sion, believing that with this idea i
view he can aecede to the many dc
, mands made on him. and at the sam
time not back track" on his refusal t
call the session for the purpose OF rt
districting the state.
: 1t can be stated. however, that Will
the capitol legislation will be name
in the call as the reason for gettin
the legislature together, the redistric
e ing matter will undoubtedly occup
!, a larger portion of the legislature
Z time. This. however, depends entirel
on whether Governor Cruce is reall
v acting in good faith, and on how fs
t his control OF the Legislature goes.

SANITATION AND
HEALTH THOUGHTS

There are many problems of this life
to be solved by our people One of
them is how best to live long and be
happy Give to our neighbors every
thing we claim for ourselves. Do him
no wrong and help him over the hard
places. We all wish to avoid the pro-
verbal peck of dirt we are supposed to
eat before we die. We are also told
that cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Which is good logic if not good scrip
ture. Naturally everything through life
tends to shorten life and impair our
health. While some of those conditions
are beyond our control, others we are
responsible for ourselves.
Now under present management it
must be admitted that Vinita is very
unsanitary and in an unhealthy condi-
ton.
Where are the hitch racks for the
teams and horses brought to town by
} the business man and the farmer!
They are at the entrance of the grocery
J store and all other business houses in
the city They are sometimes on the
: sidewalk and in the gutter from morn
: ing until night and every one knows
the condition as to filth and eontamina
ton Every breeze of wind watts this
unsavory filth into the store and it set
tiles on the groceries and provisions
We then buy them for consumation or
our tables and eat them with relish
, The farmer also buys his groceries
takes them home for his family to ca
and thinks nothing about those condi
tions. Every article sold in our stores
is more or less impregnated with i'm
e purities which is the breeding place
of flies and other vermin.
The merchant, clerk and busines
man stands in the stencil of malari
for twelve hours every day. When h
i retires to his home his person an
d clothing is thoroughly saturated wit
.e his days association. Let's clean u
