' bout the same experience as has - the party in this county. On ' last Saturday primaries were held \ there and the result was a crush- k jug i defeat for thc bolters and renegades - t cgades and the triumph of true . . t r ' r pu blicanism. Commenting on ! this victory the Beatrice Express I says : ) \ 'l'he result of the republican , i ,1- " " . primaries is an excellent example 1 , . ' 1lr of what the people can do when \ they ) become thoroughly aroused l ' . to the existing conditions and be- I . gin to realize their meaning. " You can't fool all the people all I , " the time. " 'Vhile we boast of our free American institution and ' , t . the fact that every man is a sov- t . I r , . - _ . ; a ercign , yet the fact is that we arc usually so engrossed witlm , . our personal - sonal matters that we pay but little 1 attention to public miLtters. The result is that matters of the most vital i importance are allow&l 1- ' to go by default or fall into the hands 'of men more interested in their personal schemes than in the prosperity of the city or county. Nevertheless the people will stand about so much Rndno more. When the limit is reached the bonds are broken and the men who have allowed themselves to be imposed upon and deceived rise in their wrath and make things right. This is what happened in Gage county last Saturday. The republicans - publicans of the county have been so occupied in gathering in their share of the republican prosperity that they have paid but little attention - tention to party business. A ring of self-seeking , scheming politi- cians , most of whom were demo- 'crats , laid their plans to capture the republican party and hold it as a captive. By devious ways and crooked paths they had led many of the voters of the county away from the straight and nar- row road to patriotic republican- : ism. They had become so strong as to become defiant , but the long suffering voters at last became aroused to the situation ' and you know the result. It must not stop at this. The republican party must be controlled by the rank and ' file of the republican voters. Men who have professed the democratic faith , arc welcome in the republican ranks , if they become converted , but the people of Gage county are now and ever will be opposed to any attempt of democratic politicians to control the old republican party. 'chat is what the landslide of Saturday means Ou Weekly Market Letter. Kansas City Mo , Monday , jVlar. 21st , Y04.-Cattle receipts here ! last week were 35.449 , about 6,000 more than previous week , and 4000 more than same week last year. .All the markets had liberal l supplies of cattle , and , lower prices were the rule after Tuesday , market . being steady first two days oJ the \veek. 55,35 was reached Tuesday for beaf steers , which have heretofore stuck at the 55.22 mark.

The decline on beef steers , when n\arly.everyone has been expecting an advance , scared off many buyers of fleshy feeders. rhe receipts today are 6,000liead but a liberal Iun at Chicago and 10 cents lower prices there makes the market slow here. Beef steers arc plentiful and prices barely steady with close of last week. Cows and butcher stuff arc scarce and steady. Stockers and feeders are steady as the spring like weather always benefits this trade at this season. < . Hog receipts at Kansas City last week were 34OYlabout 6,000 more than previous week , but 2,000 less than same week last year After Tuesday the prices were lower each day , the week closed with a net loss of 20 cents Market is lower again H > -day and and the best price is $5.15. with bulk of sales at $4.96 to $5.10. Light hogs sell relatively better than they did two weeks ago. Depression - pression in provision market and lack of support ' is given as a reas- on for continued lower prices for hogs , , Sheep receipts last' week were , 23,734 , practically the same as previous week ; also same as cor- respon ding week last year. Lambs made up large majority of receipts , and were mostly common quality , Best lambs and yearlings - ings sold steady , but the common lambs were 15 to 25. . cents lower. Ewes and wethers gainell0 : to 15 cents during the week , owing to scarcity. Run today is 7,000 and the market is strong on everything - erything except medium to common - mon lambs which arq very steady. The largest bunch of fed cattle sold here today was marketed by J. S. Snethen of Hum oldt , Neb. , consisting of fortr carloads of shortfed steers that brought 54.40. JOHN M. IIAZELTON , . Live Stock Correspondent . . . p. - - ' - . . . . . . .
