MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent
Kansas City Stock yards, Nov, 211.
The outlet for killing cattle im
proved last week, and the liberal
receipts were disposed of readily
and at stronger prices niter the
first two days. Tne close of the
market was only slightly below
the close of the previous week, bit:
part of the loss on Monday having
been regained, except that calves
finished 50c to $1 lower for the i
week. The run today is fairly j
good for Thanksgiving week, 15,- !
000 head, but the market is strong j
to 15 higher on all kinds, includ
ing stockers and feeders. Eastern
killers have been placing heavy
orders in the western markets dur
ing the last week and competition
for cattle to fill these orders has
held purchases of packers down to
a point only slightly above re
quirements for quick consumption.
The same condition rules today'
and one of the heaviest buyers for
eastern killers here paid the top,
$6.25, for medium quality steers,
similar to the kind that went at
$5.75 middle of last week. Prime
steers are quotable at $7 to $7.40,
fair to good $5 25 to $6.50, grass
Colorados today at $5.30, almost
top notch for them, cows $3 to $5,
cauners $2.20 to $3, heifers up to
$5.75, bulls $2.40 to $3.HO, calves
$3,25 to $6. 900 cars weut to the
country last week, one of the big
weeks this fall, and this trade was
an important element in firming
up the general market. Liberal
supplies of high bred range cattle
were included, best Colorado feed
ers going at $4 to $4.Ho,best Stock
ers $3.75 to $4.40 Medium to
common stuff declined 30 to 50c,
but the accumulation of this class
was pretty well closed out at $2 50
to $3.35.
Hog supplies were smaller last
week, and the week closed a shade
higher than close of previous week.
Hun is 13,000 today, market 5 to
10 higher, top $6.05, bulk $5.50 to
$6, More heavy weights are com
ing than heretofore, and demand
for them is strong, sales today at
$5.90 to $6.05, packers and butch
er weights $5.75 to$6, weights be
low 200 lbs. $5.40 to $5.85, pigs
$4.50 to $5.25. A year ago the
monetary crisis was at its worst,
and bulk of hogs were selling at
$3.95 to $4.05. Reports from the
country indicate plenty of hogs to
come.
Sheep and lambs are coming
moderately, and market is firm,
although lambs are slightly below
a week ago. The range season is
about over, although some feeding
and stock stuff is still coming.
Hun today is 9000 head. Top
lambs are worth around $6, year
lings $5.25, wethers $4.60, ewes
$4.25, feeding lambs $4.90 to $5.40
wethers and yearlings $4 to $4.40,
ewes $2 50 to $3.25, breeding ewes
up to $4.25.

FLYER BRINGS HIM BACK
Dreaming Passenger Clears Coach
of Train at St. Joseph
Oscar Kent, a wealthy stock
man and a prominent prohibi
tionist of Republican City, Neb.
shattered the time schedule of
the Burlington flyer as soon as
it pulled out ol the Francis
street station at St. Joe recent
ly for Denver.
Kent insists he never drinks,
but of late has lost much sleep.
He dropped into a seat in the
chair car and at once fell asleep
and tuougbt Conductor Robert
Reilly and the train crew were
train robbers trying to hold
him up, instead of simply ask
ing him for his railroad ticket.
He slugged them and cleared
the coach of occupants. The
train backed into the Union sta
tion almost an hour later with
the stockman still “dreaming”
but in charge of the coach.
Special Agent Clel Moulter,
who endeavored to “awaken”
Kent, was slugged. After beat,
ing the stockman over the head
for several minutes with his
club, Kent inquired; “What’s
the matter?” and peacefully left
the car under escort of a dozen
policeman. Conductor Reilly
expected trouble, because of the
combination Friday, the 13th,
and train No. 13.—Ex
Both Are Disgusted
Republicans and democrats alike
cannot help being disgusted with
the lying their hide-bound party
organs have done during the past
campaign. A paper whose pro
prietor either holds a federal job
or is looking for one cannot be de
pended upon to tell the unbiased
truth about politics and even
sometimes about other things.
Why should your report about
daily affairs be colored to suit the
selfish interests or desires of the
man who happens to have his
money invested in newspaper ma
chinery? You have a right to
have pure news as well as pure
food. And also, why not pure ad
vertising? The paper goes into
the home and is read by your chil
dren. You are trying too keep
tlfeir minds clean and would raise
a row if you found an immoral or
impure book in the house. Why
not guard what they read in daily
papers as carefully? The Lincoln
State Journal columns are the best
evidence of its cleanness. A whole
lot of advertising is found in other
dailies that is kept out of the Lin
coln Journal, When you take the
Journal you pay only for your own
paper as it has no deadbeats; no
bad bills. Everybody pays in ad
vance and every paper is stopped
when the time is out. Its a co
operative plan, every item of waste
being eliminated and ‘you get the
benefit. Lincoln is your capital
and the Journal your paper.

ABOUT THE SPIGKLER CASE
Communications Referring to Case
From Interested Parties
Iif last week’s issue of The
Tribune there appeared a report
of the preliminary trial of Otis
ISpickler, who is charged with
running an automobile carlessly
and causing the death of Mrs.
Mul ler.
Now it was not the intent of
The Tribune to misrepresent
anything connected with this
case, our object being purely
and solely thatof furnishing the
public with a news report of the
case, as it appeared at the trial.
Hut it seems that there are
different views concerning the
matter, and in justice to all,
The Tribune herewith repro
duces a couple of communica
lions, which are self explana
tory :
Editor of the Tribune: I quote
from your lust week’s issue the
following paragraph.
“Will Holt slid Mr. Reischick
arrived at the scene of the tragedy
a few momeuts after it occurred
and measured the buggy tracks
which showed that the team did
not shy out of the road but was
evidently pulled out into the ditch
by the driver.”
This is incorrect. None of the
Rieschicks nor myself so far as I
am aware were at the scene of the
tragedy and I am sure nobody
could tell from the tracks whether
the team was pulled out nor
whether it ran out because scared.
Wm. RlBSCHICK.
The following communication,
The Tribune feels, is an unjust
attacK upon it, as our report of
the case was based upon just
what the preliminary trial ap
peared to bring out,and nothing
more. In justice to the attorney
in this case we wish to say that
we are personally responsible
for news that appears in these
columns and that the average
attorney has grief enough with,
out being censured for this act
in which be had no part or lot:
Palls City, Neb., Nov.23, 1908.
Editor of the Tribune:—An
attorney ought to try his case
in the court room and not in his
newspaper. In speaking about
the Muller tragedy in your last
issue of your paper you say:
“Mr. Poehlinger testified that
he was coming to town with a
load of corn and was about two
hundred feet from the accident
when it occurred. He said he
knew Spickler, but when called
upon to pick him out from the
crowd in the room he selected
the wrong man.”
If you had at the same time
published the trick of the attor
ney wrho deceived this witness
the whole dishonesty of this
transaction would appear in its
true light before the public. It
has been the custom of an attor
ney making a defense to have
his client next to him. In this
case the attorney had a brother
of the client standing near to
witness and the real defendant
concealed in the crowd. When
the attorney asked the witness
to identify the defendant, the
witness supposed that the attor
ney was making an honest ex
hibition of bis client and not de
ceiving witness by having the
wrong brother standing up for
identification who bears a strong
facial resemblance to the de
fendant.
You state in this same article
that Mr. Holt and Mr.Riescbick
swore that they could tell by
the tracks in the road whether
the team ran out because scared
or was pulled out by Mr. Muller.
If these two parties swore to
this, which I doubt, they are
certainly extraordinary wit
nesses. I am not aware that a
wagon when “scared” makes a
different track, in a hard road,
from a wagon when “pulled.”
Again I quote from your paper:
“Much of the talk antagonis
tic to automobiles that a few
excitable people have been in
dulging in recently is very silly.
The world does move and with
its moving will come automo
biles, cars, and street cars, and
perhaps air ships.”
I never knew that it was silly
for a person to become excited
over a tragedy. The simpletons
I-—
are the people who pass such j
things by without notice. 1!
might add that tue legislatures
of the variou- -lutes enact laws
to regulate these improved
vehicles. Engineers have been
held guilty of manslaughter be
cause they negligently operated
their trains and the legislature
of this state has made it the
duty of any person operating an
automobile within the city lim
its not to speed it taster than
jsix miles an hour, it is also'
enacted that when evej a person
sees a team scare at his automo
bile it is made liis duty to stop
his automobile and aid the far
mer with his scareil team to
pass. Had your man, Spickler,
did this the tragedy would not
have happened and my mother
would still be living.
You have also sought to cre
ate sentiment against a lair
trial of this case by writing an
untruthful statement about the
Dr. Miner incident. It is true
these horses did scare at an
automobile when that automo
bile came suddenly onto them
at a turn of the road near
Scholl’s corner, but if all auto
mobilists would be a little cir
cumspect there would not be so
many accidents happen nor
would teams become frightened.
Before the accident the team
that my father drove was con
sidered a safe team and if it has
become unsafe since on account
of this tragedy, is it to be won
dered at? By the way, why
didn't you publish, if you want
ed to be fair, the fact that your
man, Spickler, has operated his
automobile without a light and
knocked a boy and his horse
over and broke the boy’s leg.
Iam sorry to be compelled to
resort to newspaper discussion
and I would not do so if the at
torney for Mr. Spickler had not
sought in this manner to create
public sentiment in his client’s
favor. W. H. Mul,leu.

INTO THE
PRIMITIVE
BY ROBERT AMES BENNET Lylrayrwaltqw
The beginning wag at Capetown, when Blake and Winthrope
boarded the steamer as fellow-passengers with L.ady Bayrose and her
party—which included the beautiful Miss Leslie. Three days later
the ship went to pieces in a cyclone on a wild and isolated coast, and
these three—the American engineer, the Englishman, and the heiress
—were the only survivors. And when highly cultivated civilization was
brought face to face with the primitive, what law could prevail but
the survival of the fittest ? It is a story full of vigorous strength and
unusual charm.
