Two Big Meetings at Highland At a meeting of the trustees and friends of Highland University Tuesday afternoon, Governor Hoch adressed the assembly on the question of raising $50, 000 to be expended in erecting a new college building.

The gov ernor urged to take hold of this project and bring it to a successful issue. The assembled crowds pledged themselves to raise about $10,000 from among the citizens, The sum of $8,000 was raised Monday night and now nearly $15,000 is in sight. Donations from all over Kansas are to be received and the build ling will be built in the near fu ture. The University is sadly in need of more room, and at its present rate of growth several more buildings may be added before lorg. At a meeting held at Highland Tuesday afternoon, Superintend ent Burlinget, of the G.

addressed the citizens in refer ince to the railway extention which is is proposed to build this summer, He said that there was no hitch as to the right-of way privilege, as he had been met more than half way by the people of Highland, and that the onthing that threatened to put an obstacle in the way of the early completion of the work was the fact that nearly every railroad contractor was now busily engaged in constructing spring work. The entire road bed of the G. I. will be overhauled and this will interfere with beginning the work on the proposed suburban line to St. Joseph.

Mr. Berlinget assured the people that the material would soon be hauled and the work may start by early summer. 00000000000000 -THEFARMERS' BANK OF LEONA Commenced Business April 19, 1895 Eleven Years Under Same Management We know your wants and. want your business 00000000000000000000006000 Here They Are: OUR WANTS Advertisements under this head for half cent a word.

Market Letter It woud seem that the country is still full of cattle, as the run this week is 34,000 in three days, increase. 5,000 over same days in the last four or five weeks. Prices held up strong on killing cattle Monday, but began to weak en yesterday, and sales today are about 10 lower than Monday, Fair to good beef steers make up bulk of the supply, a larger percentage of these than ever before at Kansas City at his season, so that the increase in receips of 22 per cent last Month did not express the increase in volum beef marketed. Packers increased their killing here 40 per cent in March over same month last year, while the buisness in country grades fell from 56,000 head last year in March to 41,000 same month this year. Packers took a good many cattle that ordinarily would go to feed lots, bad weather accounted for lack of bids on them for that purpose.

The best price in five or six weeks was paid for steers Monday, $5.90, top. yesterday 85.70, top today 85.75. fair to good steers at $4.75 to $5.30, heifers and yearlings $4.25 to 85.25, cows 83.50 to 84.75. Hog run is larger this week, nearley 16,000 yesterday, 11,000 here today, market higher Monday, steady yesterday, weak to 5 lower today. Light hogs are selling 5 cents below the top now, as usual at this season, top heavy bogs today $6.37.
