Gone to the Fair.

If the State Fair at Phoenix is
as we'll represented by other To-
calities as it is by Winslow it's
success is assured if number of
visitors have anything to do
with it.
A man on the street today was
overheard to say that he rever
was SO supremely happy in his
life before; every one he owed
had gone to the fair, and he
could come right out in the open
and sun himself without danger
Of molestation. We always
thought he preferred the back
ways and alleys on account Of
their being so quiet and conduc-
tive to clear thinking, as he is a
very thoughtful man and easily
disturbed by chatter and piffle.
1t is hoped that the Fair will
be a success from every point of
view, and that those from Wins
low who have gone will let the
people in the southern part of
the State know that this town is
on the map, and that they will
have an enjoyable trip and re-
turn the better off from their
gleanings while there.
Among those who went are:
I. S. Draper, Gus Hansen and
wife, Ed Bargman, A. Clark,
Dr. Bazel and wife, J. C. Amen,
Burr Williams and family, Frank
Daper, Ed Sawyer, A. E. Gill
lard, Desmond Mahoney Geo.
Hubbard, j. K. LaPrade, Mrs.
D. J. Mahoney and Mrs. r.
Powell.
The following teachers of the
Winslow schools are ut Phoenix
to attend the Fair and the Teach
er's Convention which is being
held in that city this week: Prof.
and Mrs. Cornelius, the Misses
Ross, Whittocker, Cavanaugh,
Roberts, Carmody, Hackley.
Powell, Brake, ludlow, Hillard,
Brown and Mr.. Davis.

Kansas City Market Letter

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov.
3. 1913. Cattle receipts last
week decreased 5000 head from
the previous week, but it was a
hard week for sellers. Chicago
and markets in the East all had
heavy receipts, both killing and
stock grades, and adverse con-
ditions there constituted chief
talking point for buyers else
where. Declines here were not
more than 10 to rs cents and the
week closed with some signs of
bloom. Today the run is $4,000
head, some larger than was ex-
pected, but moderate receipts
are looked for later in the week.
Prices are strong today on good
to choice fed stock and on stock
cattle and feeders. Middle
grades of killing cattle are
steady to weak. 1t is figured
that the spread between choice
kinds and the lower grades will
WIDEN, The poultry season is
coming on and dealers find little
on which to- base optimism ex-
cept on the best cattle, which
are scarce. Some good heavy
steers brought $500 today.
Colorado and the panhandle are
furnishing some of the best
stockers and feeders to be OBJ
tanned anywhere, Colorado
feeders brought $3.50, 81. 10 and
$500 this morning and good pan
handle calves sell at $7.75 to So. :
25. Canada is sending some
stock cattle and butcher grades
to Buffalo and Chicago, but
Dominion cattle statistics indi-.
cate a shrinking bovine popuia-
tion, with little prospect of any
surplus above what will be re-
quired at home. Hog produc-
tion in Canada is far below home
requirements. Clean up signs
are written all over the quaran-
tine run, and few good cattle
are included. Prices are little
changed, steers selling at S.. %
to $6.55, cows $4.25 to $3.50.
Beginning Nov. 1st. Govern
ment and State regulations al
low quarantine stock cattle to be
shipped to all Missouri points
north of the river, to all of Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois and other
states. Several shipments were
sent out the first day of the op-
en- season. Hogs had a good
week, holding up steady to
strong all week, except for a
small decline right at the finish.
Receipts today 5000 head, mar
ket steady, top $3.50, bulk $7.55
to$7.85. Immune hogs, used by
serum manufacturers bring 10 to
Is cents above the general mar
ket. Packers may be depended
on to fight prices relentlessly for
the next few months, and the
volume of the supply will deter
mine how far they will be able
to go. Sheep and lambs are SO
to Is cents higher than a week
ago, and prices here are Is to so
cents above competing markets.
The market is 10 lower today,
but at that Western lambs
brought $7.75 here, and ewes
$4.75, as compared with top
lambs at $7.25 and ewes at $3.50
in Chicago today. Scarcity here
is what does it, receipts today
$4,000 head. Feeding stock is
also higher, lambs worth $6.25
to $6. go. J. A. RICKART,
Market Correspondent.

KILLED IN WINSL0W
THURSDAY NIGHT
MexieAa LAborsr Uses Knife
and Cets Killed.

A Mexican labofer who has
been employed in the budding OF
the new Round House was killed
Thursday night by City Marshall
&c. M. Bledsoe.
During the absence of the
night watchman, Marshall Bled-
soc has been acting in that capa-
1l., ). addition to his regular
dnt,es. and while passing the
Wiewam Saloon at about 1880
his attention was called to a dis
turbance going on inside. Lewis
Korn, proprietor of the Wigwam
was trying to get the Mexican
and his partner, who were drunk
to 90 outside and be quiet, when
Marshall Bledsoe. seeing that
his services were needed stepped
inside.
The Mexican, who had been
persuaded tosgo outside, was at
the inner door and his partner
was trying to get him to go out
side entirely, or to keep him from
coming farther in, when all 81 a
sudden he drew a knife and COM
menced slashing at the Marshall
who backed away from him turn
ing his side and throwing up his
arm to ward off the blows. The
Mexican, however, slashed his
clothes in several places and in
flicted q very. painful but not
dangerous wound under his left
shoulder blade. which necesslta-
ted the taking Of several stitches.
In order to save his life, Bledsoe
who by this time was crowded
into corner drew his gun and
emptied it all at his assailant,
four bullets taking effect, three
passing entirely through his
body.
A doctor was summoned
and the unfortunate man was
taken to a room where every
thing ppssible was done for him,
but he passed away at 2;;3O a. m.

Mr.. Joseph l. Keefer developed
some curious information on the an
cestery Of Gen. George Washington.
In an address which he delivered before
William Cushing camp, Sons Of Vet
Grams, at Washington. Mr.. Keefer de-
clared that President Washington's
forefathers were not named Washing
ton at all. Their name was plain
Washen. In 1860 when John Washen,
President Washington's great-grand-
father, sailed from the north Of Eng
land for the colonies and settled for
a new life at a place called Pops, near
Colonial Beach, be revised his plebian
name Of Washen for the more aristo-
cratic Washington Mr.. Keefer gave
sketch Of the deep researches which
led him backward over the branches
of the Washen family tree for more
than 80 generations, until he located
the original Washen at Cave Castle,
England, He had many interesting
pictures Of historical subjects, which
he displayed in connection with his
lecture.

l wonder what is the condition Of
that pump put away last summer.
The hired man took it to the barn and
the chances are he forgot to rinse It
out before leaving 1t. Wouldn't 1t be a
good scheme to overhaul 1t thoroughly
before the rush of spring work comes
on? If spray material was left in the
pump, you will probably find the
plunger stuck in the cylinder and the
protective screen over the intake eth
er clogged or eaten away. Soaking the
cylinder in kerosene will generally
losen things up, but new copper
screen will have to be placed over the
intake How about packing? 1t will
probably be worth while to examine 1t.
and besides you will want to take out
the plunger so that some oil may be
poured into the cylinder and worked
through the valves. To clean up the
pump is not a long job, to be sure. but
1t will take valuable time next spring.
Next summer you had better put away
the pump yourself. SO that it will be
well cleaned and the valves and cylin-
der lining coated with oil

Turkish foreign minister submitted to
the council Of ministers a draft of the
reply to the note of the powers. 1t is
understood that it insists upon the re-
tentiCn Of AdrianOple for the follow,
ing reasons:
First, beca ,se the Bulgarian inhabi-
tants are IN Ne minority in Adrian
ople, not only in comparison with the
Moslems, but as compared with 9TH
er Christians; second, because of the
splendid defense of the garrison:
third, the loss Of Adrianople, contain
ing the temples of the caliphs, would
ruin the prestige of Islam; fourth, the
loss Of Adrianople, which is the gate
of Constantinople, would endanger
the existence of the empire
The porte therefore prays," con-
unues the reply, that the powers
take consideration of the vital neces-
sites Of the empire and make repre-
sensations to the Balkan states with
view to peace. Turkey sincerely
desires to find a common ground of
understanding and will even consent
to fresh sacrifices :"
Regarding the AIgean islands. the
reply declares that Turkey refuses to
abandon the islands near her coasts.
