CATTLE MARKET
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Oct 30-Cattle sold 5 to 50 higher last week, with every indication that the market was gathering strength. Receipts of 2S,OOO head today met strong demand, trade active and prices shade higher The run is largely from distant points, and its character suggests that this will be the last heavy week in cattle receipts this sea- son. Total for the month will be around 360OOO head, exclusive of 30,- 900 calves, 10000 more cattle than were ever received here previously in one month.
 Beef Cattle
 Prime finished steers are quotable up to Sll, but the best heavy steers here today brought Sl040 Short fed steers sell at SS25 to So.50, warmed up steers up to SS.50, and though feed is high cattle that have done we'll in the feed lot are paying out at any stage. Finishing shipments are com ing from all quarters, and selling at g to S75, light steers S6 to S675. Range beef steers were numerous to- day, and sold at $675 to S.25, from Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, some heavy Oregon steers late last week at S15 to S. Local killers brought in 25 cars of canner cattle from St. Louis and Chicago to help out on orders here in the last week. Gamer COWS sell at S4.50 to $, medi- um to good COWS up to S675, choice weighty COWS g or better.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Shipments outreached 3S,OOO last week, and prices ranged 30 to 50 high CT. Offerings today contained some choice three-year-old New Mexico steers at S5O, pretty good Texas yearlings at g to S25, medium grades S625 to g. Fleshy feeders sell up to SS.S0, high bred range feed- CTS g to S.50, plain feeders S6.40 to g. Texas stock heifers weighing 625 pounds brought S6.35, this morning, some weighing 7l6 pounds, S575.
 Hogs.
 Heavy receipts of hogs at all points caused a decline today, but it was not as severe as 1t looked at first, the close ; to 10 lower, top Sl015, five cents below Saturday, bulk of the sales a.75 to SlO.l0. Heavy hogs and medium weights each sold up to the top, light weights up to Sl005. Local prices have not only been running above other river markets for some time, but are now close up to Chicago, conditions that will continue indef- initely because of feed scarcity in Kansas and Missouri, which means scarcity of fed stock at Kansas City.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 The market ruled 10 to Is higher, following advances late last week Prime lambs are quotable up to Sll. although the best here today sold at Sl090 Native lambs stopped at Sl025, fat ewes around g. Feeding lambs are stronger, and if prophecies of local sheepmen count for anything Winter prices are going to be high. and the feeding operation attended with profit Range runs will soon be over, when all classes will be scarce and strong. Feeding lambs bring S9.35 to Sl0, breeding ewes g to So.

passed.
The new law divides the militia into
"actiye" and "unorganized" classes,
the former being the militia, and the
other males subject to a call by the
government if the quota of guards
men is not sufficient to meet the fed
eral regulations under the Hay bill

advocated retrenchment in all use

Billy Sunday Says Maybe He'll be

Billy Sunday told 10000 people in
his tabernacle at Baltimore last night
that he was going to he one of the
persons to be caught up into the air
to meet the Lord on the second com
| ing of the Master to this earth; that
| he was going to return to earth to
reign with Christ during the millen-
mum. and then would visit Baltimore.

Christ will give me. Maybe He'll say:
| Bill, I'll let you reign over Maryland.
| If He does you bet therell be some
thing doing in this old state Won't

Applause Not Unmixed.
1t would be hard to analyze the eff
| feet of this speech ON the congrega-
| ton. The secretaries, who take the
! names and addresses of the trail-hit-
ters, applauded naturally. They are
| not easily surprised at anything Sun
| day says. Some of his other loyal
| supporters likewise applauded. Others
! in the congregation laughed-a little
uncertainty. And still others looked
| puzzled or hurt or disguised. 1t was
! rather trying for the conservatives
| for those who demand rather more of
| reverence and awe in their contem-
| plation of Christ than Sundays utter
ance had seemed to hold.
| But the evangelist did not stop
there. He asked his hearers if they
| did not think it would be a wonder
| full experience to return to the millen-
mum, perhaps to live on earth again
| throughout ali that 1000 years.
Back to Earth Again.
Think of coming back to this old
| world to reign with Jesus Christ and
| of being able to give the old gang the
high sign!" he exclaimed.
1t was a remarkable sermon he
preached twice yesterday-to an aud
fence of 1000 in the afternoon and to
one nearly three times that large in
| the evening. The theme was "The
Second Coming" and the text: "Then
We which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air; and so shall we ever be with the
Lord. Wherefore comfort one another
with these words."-I Thessalonians,
| iv, II Is.
But although the revivalist painted
graphic picture of the second COM
ing; of the glories that awaited those
! who should be included in the "body
OF Christ"-and he excluded a large
percentage of the church members
and some preachers l have met"
who, he said, were not really chris
tians-the number of converts was
comparatively small. There were So
in the afternoon and 1875 at night
