Kansas City LiDestock Prices Kansas City Stock Yards.

Kansas City Stock Yards.
 Jan. 31, 1916. The depres- sion of 10 to 25 cents on steers, and more than that on butcher cattle last week, was forgotten today, every thing in the killing line 10 to 15 higher. Best steers here brought $8.5O. Receipts were 5000 head, and packer buyers were out early for cat tie to start killing gangs with there having been a close cleanup last week, as re- ceipts were light after Tues day. Buyers were in a will ing, not to say anxious, mood and the predicted rise in cat tie values in the next thirty or sixty days, estimated at around a dollar per cwt. in some quarters, appear more. logical than it did last week. Receipts were 5000 head here considerably less than on re- cent Mondays. Good to choice beef steers sell at ST. 75 to $8. 50, medium to com mon kinds $6.50 to $7.50, western fed steers $7.00 to $8. .25, cows $5.50 to. $6. 50, heifers $6. 75 to $8.50, veals $500 to $10.50. Quaran- tine receipts of cattle con tinue very light, some 963 lb. steers here today from Wag- oner at $6.9O. In stockers and feeders there has been no change in prices since a ago. A larger percent age of the supply runs to beef cattle at this season, and the stockers and feeders find ready sale, stock steers largely at $6.25 to $7.5O, feeders $6. .75 to $7.5O, a few cattle up to $7.85, breeding cows and heifers $5.25 to $6.75.
 Sheep and lambs broke 25 to 35 cents last week, and the is weak to 15 lower today, receipts 12OOO head. claim there is a bad outlet for dressed mutton, is the only reason for lower prices, as supplies at the markets continue mode rate. The best lambs here sold at $10.25 to $1O.35, some yearlings brought $9.10, $7.75, ewes $7.1O. Feeding lambs sold up to $9.- 75 and $9.85 last week, and some brought $9.7O today. Prospects point to a recovery in the fat sheep and lamb but feeding lambs may sell lower.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS Some of It May Interest You; All
 OfIt Is Worth Perusal

sCit Hung. Nigger Cit Hung
 Irwin Cobb, the popular
 short-story writer, has a
 fund of anecdotes which he
 delights to tell after a good
 dinner. One of his favorite stories is that of an incident that occurred in his native state of Kentucky.
 The story runs that anegro man was sentenced to be hanged for chicken stealing or some equally heinous crime. The hanging was to take place in the court house square and the entire popula- tion of the town had turned out to witness it.
 In the crowd was the wife of the condemned man, who was arrayed in all the fine raiment possible to borrow or beg. By her side was the man she had already chosen for a second husband, and the parson awaited near by to perform the marriage cere- mony when the wife had been released from the bonds of her first marriage.
 With the perversity of the male species, the man con- demned to be hung possib- ly understanding his wife's desire to be on with the new love sought to delay his ex- ecution by harranguing the. crowd. The sheriff did not interfere knowing that the speech of the victim would be his last, but allowed him to continue his talk.
 The wife, impatient to get to the wedding feast, bore the delay as long as possible and when she could stand it no longer she approached the scaffold and called to her husband: ''Git hung, nigger, git hung"
 Likewise we say to the editors of the Winslow Mail and the Snowflake Herald: Make good, men, make good" Start your recall petitions and your impeach- proceedings; but be careful lest you start some thing you can not finish. The people want to learn or not you are bluff ing. The grand jury last week called some of Chap bluffs and found him fourfushing. Wedoubt that he and Smith will make any better showing in the recall game.

Chapman Stricken
 with Forgefulness

Redeemer Chapman of the
 Winslow Mail was a witness before the grand jury last Friday afternoon. The News is not advised whether his appearance before that body was made at his own solicita- tion-so that he might as- sist in bringing to speedy justice the bunch of arch conspirators" that ''infests the court house" or whether some other agency caused his appearance.
 Neither are we advised as to the nature of the disclo- sures made by Chapman in his testimony before the grand jury, but we imagine that he was suddenly strick- en with forgetfulness when questioned about various al- legged fraudulent transact ions about which he had pre- viously said so much.
 Anyhow we have not no- ticed any exodus of the "court house gang, and we naturally assume that Chap testimony before the jury carried no more weight than the harrangues he publishes weekly in his organ of discord which is none at all.

Sale of First Store Confirmed

Sale of First Store Confirmed
 The sale of the B. First general merchandise store in Holbrook was confirmed by Judge Sapp in superior court Thursday morning. The sale had been made several weeks ago by the admins traitors of the estate, the purchasers being R. B. Put ney of Albuquerque and w. J. Hookway of Holbrook. One of the administrators s. A. Simon, objected to the sale being confirmed, and employed Attorney R. E. Morrison of Prescott to con- test the matter. Thursday morning MT. Morrison stated that no contest would be made to prevent the sale proceeding, his clients, s. A. Simon and Mrs. Shapiro, being satisfied to allow it to stand.
 s. A. Simon offered his re- signation as administrator, and it was accepted by Judge Sapp. L. c. Henning, the other administrator, will now act alone and will pro- ceed with a partial distribu- tion of the money belonging to the estate, in accordance with an order made by the court.
 The purchasers of the First store will at once ln- corporate a company for con- ducting the business. w. J. Hookway, station agent for the Santa Fe in Holbrook, will resign his position with the railroad company and will assume the management of the store under it's new ownership. Mir. Hookway, during the years he has been agent for the Santa Fe here, has gained an enviable re- putation for integrity and business acumen, and in his. new business venture he will no doubt be successful.

WELL KNOWN WOMAN
TALKS TOO LOUDLY
Gets Upon the Nerves of Prominent
Citizens Who Seeks Redress in
Justices Court.

In this time of war and turmoil
there are a great number of people
who love peace, so much SO in fact
that they would fight for it, or near
ly SO at least. But search this old
world over from center to circum-
ference and you would not find any
one who loved quiet, peace and soli-
tude any more than our fellow
townsman, Bascom Huddlestun. Yes
terday when all was lovely he
thought he heard the voice of one
using language that no one should
use. Hank! What was being said?
Could it be any one resorting to pro-
family? But it was so, and what is
more, the person who was charged
with using this language was none
other than Elizabeth Beightol. This
would never do. Straightway to the
office of his honor, Justice Tucker,
strobe Bascom and swore out war
rant for the arrest of the aforemen-
toned Elizabeth, charging her with
the public use of profane and bias
phemous language which is, of
course, contrary to law.
The case was called for this morn
ing, but when the eventful time roll
ed around, it was dismissed by the
oou,+1, o&forpov II coomc that Mrc
Beightol has been in the habit of
talking too much in loud voice and
in order to protect the ears of the
community from this sort of thing,
Mr.. Huddlestun sought to have her
given a lesson in the proper use of
language upon the public highways
and byways where loud and ques-
tionable talk is a nuisance.

ed for taking up the National Pay

but are just negligent regarding the
matter. The plan of pay up week
is to have one week in the year
when the paying of obligations will
be the one thought uppermost in ev-
cry PERSONS mind. Places that have
heretofore observed the plan are en-
thusiastic about it and say that the
results are highly desirable and
cOmmendable.
The following menu will be serv-
ed at the banquet:

Result Of Felon.

Miss Irene Davis of Williams,
Wis of that place, was compelled to
submit to surgical work a few days
ago on one of her fingers which has
been troubling her for some time.
The flesh and bone were removed
down to the first joint and although
very painful, it is thought the fin
ger will now get well. About a
month ago Miss Davis submitted to
an operation for the removal OF
about a half inch of dead bone in
the tip Of the finger. The operations
are the result of a severe bone fell
on.

MAY DELAY COMING
OF TROLLEY Line
Reported That the ,Interurban Com.
pany Cannot Get all the
Material Wanted.

There is report (not Officially to
the effect that there is possibility,
or even probability, that the inter-
urban to this city will not be COM
pleted by the first of the year. This
is not due to any fault of the COM
pany but because of the inability to
secure the necessary material and
equipment to successfully carry on
the work.
At the present time, so the story
goes, the only material that is avail
able for use, with the exception of
the ties and rails, are the poles, but
there are no cross bars, guy wires,
or anything like that. The other
day when salesman was here sell
ling material for use in the con-
struction of the interurban, he would
not promise when the material could
be shipped. This makes it indefinite
when it will be possible to complete
the line into Webster City. The COM
pany is doing all in its power to get
the equipment as fast as possible and
get the line completed as quickly as
it can be done, and if the line should
not be completed by January first,
no blame can be attached to the
company.

Joint Meeting of Supervisors.

A joint meeting of the supervis-
ors of Hamilton, Webster and Boone
counties is being held at the court
house this afternoon.
At this meeting bids will be re-
ceived for the big tri-county drain
age ditch and the contract will be
let. The construction of this ditch,
the details of which have already
been published in this paper, is one
of the largest projects of this kind
ever undertaken in this part of the
state. 1t will involve the expendi-
ture of a large amount of money, but
it is thought that it will prove to be
of great benefit to the people who
reside in the territory contiguous to
the ditch.
Another contract for the construc-
ton of the Hamilton-Web coun-
ty ditch will also be let at this
meeting of the supervisors of these
two counties this afternoon.
