OOOOOOOOOOGOOOOQO MAIIKEt SlUUAIiY OOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOO Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 15.

Moderate cattle receipts arrived last week, and there was not much change In the market. Feeders sold higher the first days of the week, account of the many buyers her, but demand fill oft after Tuesday, and the advance was lost. Killing cattle held fully steady during the week, medium and light cattle showing some slight gains and calves advanced 25 cents during the week. Dry weather cattle are running freely to Chicago, 15,000 rangers there last week, about twice the normal supply for this season. Rains have stopped the movement from most sections exceptnorthwest owners holding back because of plenty of good feed, and running water in streams dry a short time ago, and It looks like Kansas City would have rather light supplies of cattle another week or two.

Run to-day Is 18,000 head, Including 2000 calves, and the market averages steady. Beef steers are a shade lower In some cases but cows -and stockers and feeders and calves are stronger to-day. Light runs should strengthen the market, but there are two bear features present this week, namely, the extra heavy marketing of rangers at Chicago, and absence of demand for kosher meat In the East, due to a series ot Jewish holidays extending over nine days, commencing next Saturday. Top native fed steers are worth $8.00, although best here to-day sold at $7.70, bfst heavy Kansas wintered natives and westerns $6.25 too $7.15, straight grass steers $4.50 to $5.75. grass cows around $3.75, veals $6.00 to $7.50, stockers $3.00 to $5.00, feeders $4.25 to $6.00.

Colorado and Utah have had a few cattle here In the last week, beef steers at JI4.30 to $4.90, stockers at $4.25 to $5.00. and some New Mexico stock heifers sold a few days ago at $3.10 to $3.75. Some of the Rear Beef Bteers from Colorado will be here to-morrow. The surprise In the hog market last In our Men's Department we are in fine shape.

Oonsolldifctod October 1 EL New Reflector for Mount Wilson Expected to Reveal Wonders. Weighs Five Ton and Mutt Be Carried Up Hill a Mile High Many Difficulties to Be Overcome In Mounting. Los, Angeles. Cal. Recently there appeared In a British periodical an artlclo written by an Englishman seriously discussing the theory that Andrew Carnegie and Dr.

George E. Hale had built the observatory on Mount Wilson In an endeavor to get a corner on solar energy. The article has caused amusement In scientific circles, where the Mount Wilson observatory Is looked upon as the greatest contribution that has yet been made to the science of astronomy. In spite of the fact that the big "Bnow telescope" Is visible from Los Angeles, there Is probably little conception here of the Importance the observatory promises to play In the development of astronomical science. The coming of the famous astronomers of the world this sumroor for a convention here will do more to call attention to the progress of Los Angeles as a scientific center than anything that has yet occurred.

Within a month or six weeks there will be an Item of news at the observatory which will Interest the entire world. It will be known at that time whether the 100-Inch lens recently cast in France Is to be a success or not. If It Is, new secrets of the heavens will be revealed as soon as It can be set up on Mount Wilson. I I Ur 1 a i ul 1 1 1 1 1 7 1 1 li 1 1 ijn-iiiii--.

Not only did this pood man and noble woman take these unfortunate ones into their home and give to them every care and attention, hut they took the affliction of these and the burden of those who were denr to them on their own hearts and gave to them the sort of sympathy and ministration that Is rare. It Is seldom that the writer has been privileged to see a manifestation of that great heartedness and sympathy which makes the whole world kin such as was evident In Yates Center during the first days of the present week.

It seemed to be the desire of everybody to be of some service to the strangers who were within their gates on a sad mission. If this paper ever felt Inclined to say unkind words about the county seat town of Woodson county that inclination Is forever gone.

"There is such a thine ns being too conscientious 'remarked young Mrs. Langton, dolefully. "Have you suffered from It?" asked her friend. "You may smile if you like, but I have suffered from the effects of the abnormally developed conscience of my mother-ln-law.

Do you remember the amethyst pin you admired so much when I wore It to your luncheon?" "Indeed, I do. It was so pretty with your wisteria gown." "It was," declared Mrs. Langton. "It was lovely with that little dress. And to think that I bought a Bult and a hat with special reference to that plnl The worst of It Is that Walter doesn't sympathize with me at all.

He just laughs and says that untruths are always punished In some way or other." "I can't offer my sympathy until you tell me about It," hinted her friend. "It was this -way. Mamma Langton thinks that Walter and I are very extravagant. She was horrified at the amount of money we spent In furnishing the house, and when as an afterthought we bought the clock, though any one will admit that It looks as It It had been made for the spot at the turn of the stairway, she almost wept I made up my mind then and there that the next thing we bought which couldn't be classed with the necessities of life would have to be purchased by stealth. "One day when I met my husband down town I asked him to atop for a moment at the window where the pin was displayed.

I mentioned casually that It would be sweet with my newest dress, adding that of course It was out ot the question for us to buy it "Walter Is of a peculiar disposition. Just tell him that he oughtn't to spend his money for a particular article, and he straightway Is determined to have that very thing. Well, he went In and bought the amethyst. I suggested that we say nothing about the matter to his mother for awhile, and I had worn the pin a number of times before she saw It." "Then what happened?" "It was one day when I was dressing In a great hurry. I asked her to come to my room and hook my waist for me, forgetting that the plu was on my dressing table.

"'That Is something Bhe said, picking up the ornament 'Where did you get 'Oh, that Is Just a pin I replied, anxious to get out of it the best way I could. she asked. I returned.

Almost the first thing Mamma Langton said when we entered the house on our return was, 'Well, Beatrice, I fouud the owner ot the amethyst "I merely gasped, and she went on: 'Of course, you wouldn't have enjoyed wearing It until everything possible had been done to And the owner, so I deemed It beBt to put nn advertisement In the newspapers.

Moving Pictures and 8urgery. In a description of tlie use ot the moving picture as an aid to the study of surgery the Uerlliufr Tugeblutt says: "We looked with emotion upon the late, never-to-be-forgotten Professor Berkmann In the act of amputating a limb, and later there was thrown upon the screen every detail of an abdominal operation. Other operations were shown, and then the spectator saw In magnlfled pictures the pulsations of a frog's heart and the movement of the stomach and the digestive organs.

Among the most Interesting of the pictures was the series which showed the effect of various poisons on the heart action." Easily Explained.

The weakeness to-day is not taken as Indicating lower prices this week, but on the contrary strength Is expected, as lard and heavy meats are considered good property by packers.

Prop. 1 X' WHERE DO YOU Ita founder. The new building will be expensive and will complete the construction so far as Dr. Hale's plans go. The original plans for the observatory are already fulfilled In the equipment In dally use.

Some Idea of the difficulties to be overcome In mounting the big lens that Is coming will be gained from the fact that It weighs Ave tons. This piece of glass must be bung so that It will move with perfect ease In order to be kept In a fixed position the clockwork attachment which overcomes the motion of the earth. Dr. Hale's Invention Is a steel bearing floating In mercury, a principle In use on the 60-lnch lens which weighs one tan. Astronomers originally doubted the efficiency of the larg leuses.

It has been demonstrated that the spectra of the stars are Increased in a ratio corresponding to the size of the lens, I 1 V. .1. inn i v. i I and with the 100-Inch disc there are remarkable possibilities of developing new facts in regard to the universe. This lens, weighing five tons, will have to be transported to the top of a mountain a mile high, where tons of the original material for construction had to be packed over a narrow trail on the backs of burros.

The wagon trail built for the purpose of getting the 60-Inch lens to the top will again prove indispensable. An Interesting operation la going en at present In the construction of i a vertical solar telescope. It was found that for longer observations of certain phenomena of the sun the snow telescope did not offer the best conditions, although II fulfilled the purpose for which It was built. In order to test lils idea of a vertical tower, Dr. Hale had a water tower erected and made steady by guy ropes.

With tills he obtained such good results that he decided upon a vertical tower. This Is to be 165 feet In height In order to give a focal length of 150 feet from the reflector to the point where the Image Is recorded. With the equipment he will be able to get an Image of the sun 16 Inches In diameter. In order to use a tower 165 feet In height for photographic purposes and long exposures, where the subject li imply a ray of light, it was necessary to resort to novel means for avoiding vibration. It took months of wrestling with the problem to work out the comparatively simple Idea of erecting a double tower, no parts ot which should touch each other.

The outer tower, which takes all the vibration ot the wind. Is built of hollow shafts. With this Instrument the spectroscope of the sun's rays will be Increased from a length of 18 feet to 76 (eet, giving a broader opportunity for analyla. This tower will be completed la time tor use at the astronomical congress this summer. i OPERA OXE WEEK Monday, EDWIN STOCK The that you all know.
