Leave It to Democrats.

The republicans on the committee
however. are inclined to wait upon the
democrats to make the first move on
the ground that the democrats are the
dominant party and the initiative should
be taken by them.
While it has been predicted that Presi-
dent Wilson will make no reply to the
charges of Senator Townsend, reiterated
by Senator's Weeks and Warren. should
the republicans give the name of any
senator as having been unduly Influenced
by the President he may change his
mind.
Senatorial courtesy has made it rule
not to attempt to compel members OF
the Senate to divulge any conversations
which they may have had with the
President of the United States This,
it is said, is another reason the COM
mittee is hesitating about calling upon
Senators to answer questions as to what
President Wilson has done in the way of
influencing their votes.

MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City Stock Yards April IA.
The beef trade was good last week
and live cattle advanced Is to 80
cents after Tueday, which more than
restored the loss Of Monday and
Tuesday. The supply today is much
larger than anticipated, and though
there is a good demand and prices arr
nearly steady on everything, buyers
succeeded in forcing a reduction OF
10 cents on heavy steers. Top here
today is 1915, and that price has
also been refused for some choice
Kansas cattle here today, bulk Of
which sold at $500 to $40, includ-
ing the Starke steers at $685., which
brought $3.50 in st. Joseph today.
Butcher cattle are steady today,
stockers and feeders also. Thin cat
tie advanced a quarter last week,
and sold as high as fat cattle IN
many cases. Seven thousand went to
the country from here last week, as
compared with 1900 same week last
year. That surplus over last year is
in line with the business in previous
weeks since January, and some deal
ers assert that more cattle are ready
for market than anybody figures on.
They point to the big runs at Chicago
last Monday and today to justify that
view. On the other hand, cottonseed
meal dealers say demand for concen-
trated feed is far below a year ago
everywhere, which indicates a dearth
Of fat cattle, even though an abun-
dance Of corn on farms must be con-
sidered. Forty loads guarantees
came in today, steers at S.25 to
$40 some choice hAifers at SS.lS

CON MAN AT HoIslNeroN.
Slick swlndIer Works George cooney
For Over $50.

About three weeks ago a stranger
giving the name Of Thos. A. Hunter
came into Hoisington and proceeded
to make himself agreeably acquainted
with the various business men Of the
city. He first called at the Farmers
& Merchants State Bank and intro
duced himself to ]. L. Pieper, telling
him that he was a cattle man from
Trinidad, Colo, and that he desired
to lease a large acreage Of land ON
the Cheyenne Bottoms on which to
pasture his large herd Of cattle dur
ing the summer and wanted to Sc
cure a good man to help him secure
the leases and care for the stock for
him. Mr.. Pieper referred him to
George Cooney, and as he agreed to
pay Mr.. Cooney a satisfactory salary
Cor his services they proceeded to
make the necessary arrangements for
the leases and for receiving and car
ing for the stock.
Satisfactory leases were secured on
several sections of the McLain ranch,
the leases being drawn by Osmond
& Cole of this city; windmills and
tanks and car load Of salt were con
tracted for, and in every way Mr..
Hunter showed that he understood the
cattle business, so that not the
slightest suspicion was held as to
whether or not he was what he rep
resented himself to be.
When Hunter had completed bis ar
rangemennts at Hoisington and start
ed to leave for Colorado to look af-
ter the shipping Of the cattle he went
into the First National Band and
drew a sight draft on a bank in
Trinidad for 5000 but was told that
he must have a satisfactory endorse
ment before he could get the money,
and here was where Mr.. Cooney was
slipped up ON for he was asked to en-
dorse the draft, which he promptly
did, Hunter receiving the money and
giving Cooney $50 as part pay on his
salary. A few days later the check
was returned saying that no such
man as Thomas A. Hunter was know
az the Trinidad bank or to the bust
ness men of the town or the cattle
men of that community.
Of course Mr.. Cooney had the
draft to pay together with the pro-
test fees and other charges, making
in all about $160, and now the Off
Gals and especially Mr.. Cooney are
camping on the trail Of one Hunter
and desire to bring him back to-
Hoisington for another little business
trip.
If the fellow is finally located, Mr..
Cooney has one sweet desire and that
is to be sworn in as deputy sheriff
and go after him. He says the fell
low will wear bracelets on his wrists
and ankles and as a further precau-
ton will be chained to the chair Of
the coach.
