MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, January
20, 1913. The cattle market averaged
steady last week, though the best fed
steers declined 10 to Is cents, and
stock and feeding grades sold little
higher. That has been the trend of
the market for two or three weeks,
but today conditions are changed a
little. Fed steers are selling steady
to strong, the market closing firm on
them, butcher grades firm, stockers
and feeders about steady; but little
shaky. Killers had good orders to
fill today, and the hesitating tactics
of feeder buyers permitted killers to
get the half fat steers at $3.50 and
upwards. The run here today is IA,
900 head, and the fact that this num-
Der sold so well in conjugation with
heavy supplies at some other points,
indicates healthy beef trade. APP
parently country buyers have about
reached the end of their daring, and
the margin between feeders and fat
steers is probably at its narrowest
point. Best fat steers brought So. 25
today, bulk of the steers $500 to Sc. 90.
Quarantine steers ranged from So. So
to S720 today, and some meal fed
cows brought $3.50 in the southern
division. Stock steers bring SIS. Is to
1925 and feeders 1915 to $50. Colo
RADIO feeders sold at 1925 to s7.65 here
last week, landing on the high spot
of the winter so far. Cold weather is
stimulating the beef trade, and small
er cattle supplies ahead, which are
expected, should meet firm market.
Hogs sold stronger each day last
week, though total gain for the week
was only 20 cents. The run is 5000
today, moderate for Monday and the
market ruled steady to 5 higher.
closing rather mean. Tops sold at
S7.47 1-2, bulk of sales 1928 TO S1.45.
Long feeds are showing more plainly
each week. average weight here last
week 210 pounds, against FOG pounds
average for the month of December,
and 200 pounds for the year 1912.
Lamb prices slumped off 80 cents
last week, yearlingS about the same,
wethers and ewes off a quarter. a
break in mutton in New York is
given as the cause, liberal runs also
contributing. Receipts today are 10.
900 head here, market strong to 10
higher. Colorado lambs brought S.. IS
and 1856 TODAY, yearlings worth 1925

Legislative Notes

Under terms of resolution adopt
ed by the house after having been
messaged to that body to the senate,
the state legislature will Investigate
the employees and expenses of all
state offices and state departments.
Speaker Brown this morning appoint
ed a committee of five members to
act with three members of the senate
in conducting this investigation.
The resolution which was introduc-
ed last week, declared that official re-
ports and newspaper statements
showed that there are at the present
time more than 1000 employees of
the various state institut ions and
state departments. 1t demanded de-
finite information regarding the salar-
les paid these various employees and
the actual service rendered the state
in exchange for these monthly pay
checks.
A similar resolution, covering the
same facts and demanding an investi-
cation, had also been introduced in
the house by Reitzel, of Washington
county. Then came the message that
the senate had adopted the resolution
and it was substituted ror the ReitZel
document and called up for immedi-
ate consideration. The house passed
the resolution without opposition.
At the session this morning Speak
er Brown named the following mem
bers of a committee to act with three
members from the senate in conduct
ing an Official investigation and re-
porting their findings to the legisla-
ture: Gibson, of Cowley: Riddle, of
Marion; Orr, of Atchison: Brewster,
of DoniphaD, and Cook, of Trego.-

BEST WAY TO TAKE EXERCISE
No Better Plan Than That OF Indusn-
Ing In Long Walks Has ~ Vet
Been Devised.

Walking, if properly and regularly
followed, would become not only a
restorer of health to many who at
the present time are on the road to
disease, but also a source of pleasure.
Let the arms swing if you feel like
it and the limbs, too; open the nos
trils and fill the lungs, and the move
ments will send a gentle electric vi
bration through the entire body, the
result of which is the awakening of
new life Never take the lazy gait,
as it soon makes one tired and pro-
duees languor. A little perspiration
ON the homestretch may prove to be
a blessing not only in carrying effete
matter from the body, but in bring
ing an increased supply of oxygen
into the blood and putting the blush
of health on the cheek.
Perhaps the best time to walk is
in the early morning. The air is
then the most highly charged with
the life-giving oxygen and the freest
from dust and smoke which rises
later in the day At this time, also,
the mind is liable to be free from
worry and anxiety, hence in the best
condition to drink in the blessings
of freshness for us on every hand

President Fitzgerald Talks
Of W. N. Program.
SfO,OOO,OOO Spent.

President j. M. Fitzgerald of the West
ern Maryland Railway says that he ex'
poets the Western Maryland to be in a
position within three or four months to
enjoy all the advantages arising out OF
Connellaville extension; to be ready in
that time to take business under the con-
ditions which the road has been building
toward since the Connellsville extension
was first talked of.
The greater number of the improve
ments which are expected to bring the
road into this condition will be complet-
ed by July l, or before that time. The
ballasting on the Connellsville extension,
making possible the handling of fast
freight, was held up during the winter
months, but has now been resumed, and
It is expected that it will be completed
within three months or less.
This means that the end of scheme
of improvements costing $40, 200, ,OOo is in
sight. The improvements other than the
ballasting of the Connellsville extension
include the new west yard at Hager =
town, which will, it is expected, be COM
pleted by July l. the new passenger sta
ton there, now nearly completed; sever
al extensions to the side tracks between
Hag gerstown and Cumberland, and the
five new tracks between these towns.
they include the new engine terminal
facilities at Cumberland, the two new
freight houses there--one already COM
pleted, the new passenger station there
and the new line through Cumberland,
including bridge over the Potomac
liver. The telephone line between Hag-
rrstown and Cumberland is being COM
oleted and President Fitzgerald says the
che road expects to be dispa tching trains
oy telephone there by May l5
This means that by the middle of the
summer the Western Maryland Railroad
expects to be getting the first of the in
creased business to come to it from its
connection with the New York Central
and the Erie.
Mr.. Fitzgerald refused to make any
comment on the number of cars he ex.
pected to come to the road with this new
ra in its history.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.

Motion pictures by telcgraphic wire
is the most recent nine days wonder.
1t will be recalled, perhaps, that
the Franklin Institute of Pennsylva-
MIA, which is one of the foremost sci
entitic institutions in America, not
so very long ago honored Prof. c.
Francis jenkins, who has just invent
ed the telephotoscope, by presenting
him with the Ellison gold medal for
prrfecting his phantoscope and for
being the first to project motion pic
lures on the screen in life size or
larger. Professor Jenkins was also
honored by receiving the French deco
ration of the cross for his research
work and his scientific inventions.
From his original invention grew the
motion picture machine and the talk
ing picture machine.
Professor Jenkins has now clabo-
rated on them both by producing the
telephotoscope. By this wonderful
invention, he claims, it is possible to
reproduce things enacted in one city
upon screen in the theatres of other
cities through telegraphic connection.
In operating the telephotoscope a
camera is placed near the scene being
enacted. The camera is connected by
wire with large copper plate that
is chemically treated and connected
with very high-power battery or dy-
namo. The plate and wires are con-
ncctcd with the moving picture cam
era especially constructed with shut
ter and the handle of the camera is
turned around in the same way as by
takers of regular motion pictures.
The image is received Oh specially
prepared glass andtransferred through
the back to the copper plate, this be-
ing in contact and perfectly in accord
with the screen fitted at the other
end of the wire.
Whether at a distance of I, 10 or
100 miles the scene is reproduced on
this plate and transferred to the spe-
cially prepared glass connected with
the battery and baths for developing
and projecting on the screen by a
specially constructed machine for
that purpose.
