Our Weekly Market Letter.
Kansas City , 1\10. Apr l 11th ,
1904-The feature of last weeks
, , cattle trade was the largest pro-
portion of good quality beef steers.
The market fortunately was good
and steady gains were made all
'wweek , , as packers seemed anxious
for supplies , and there was a (
good astern demand. Top price
was . $5.25 , with several sales
above 5 cents. Light weight
dressed beef steers sold better
than other kinds , mostly at $4.25
to $4.75 , and were considered to
P 30 cents higher than the previous
week. The good beef cattle
s , market helped the feeder trade.
t Heavy feeders sold a little high-
t er. Some big strings of fancy
r , ' feeders vent out at $4.25 to $4.50
r but the majority of useful cattle
in this line sold at $3.50 to $3.90.

to sell well and make a slight
gain during the week , but were

to $5.10. A number of hog sales-

;

be ready to market before June
and the Texas marketing win be
late. Dealers therefore predict

next few weel\s. : Market is strong
to 10 cents higher today , light
weight : Mexican lambs sold at $6
the top price of the season. Weth-
ers sold up ts $5.30 ewes at 500.

Nausler is Chief.
Will Nausler , a young man
who was raised in this city has
climbed the ladder of fame. The
story of his ascent is told as fol-
lows by the State Journal :
'I'he swearing in of the entire
force of state house janitors as
special policemen led to a lively
contest for the position of chief.
Recently the force met in the sen-
ate champer and after prolonged
balloting William Ib Nauslel'
was chosen to command the vali-
ant band and to keep loiterers off.

ler is small in stature , being
only about five feet high , but it
is known that he makes up in
courage what he lacks l ill size.

After the ballot box had been
overturned and the excitement of
the election of the new chief had
subsided Mr. Nausler walked be-
hind the lieutenant governor's

stand and delivered an address ,
which commenced : "Ye call me
chief , and ye do well to call him
chief who for twelve long years-
has met upon the arena every
shape of man or beast " With
cries of "come off ! " the other
janitors fled , refusing even to
listen to the rest.
