A flat five cents lower and weak to 5 cents lower on a split were the reports sent out from about all the western receiving points, i lows: Chicago expected 36,030 hogs, re ceived 35,000, against 31,000 the day before and with 3,897 left over', and the market was last given as follows: "Owing to the large run of hogs prices started 2 to 5 cents lower, with a limited demand. Later in the day the packing- Interests showed more enthusiasm and with the'r activity the market ruled firmer. The market, however, was mostly slow and 5 cents lower." Kansas iCty received 11, 900 hogs, against 7.1S3 on Tuesday, and the market was given on the close this way: "Trade opened slow at 2V to 5 cents de cline; closed active at a shade better price."

L The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: "The wool market has, on the whole, shown some improvement during the past week. Prices as yet have shown no ad vance, It is true, but a firmer feeling pre vails and there has been more business transacted. The cause of Improvement was the report of an advance In the price of heavy weights by a leading worsted mill and the possibility that a further advance would be established on these goods next week. The bullish feeling 'a intensified, also, by the course of the Lon don sales, at which prices have advanced about 20 per cent on some lines of cross breds, and fully 5 per cent on Merinos. The month of January was a disappoint ing one. The volume of business trans acted was considerably less than last year. The sales amounted to only 17.SS2. 000 pounds, as compared with 23,610,000 pounds in 1S9S. The sales of the week in Boston amount to $3,395,000 pounds domestic and 770,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 4,666, 0000, against a total of 3,524,000 for the pre vious week, and a total of 4,137.000 for the corresponding week last year. Sales since January 1, 1S59, amount to 17.S22, 000 pounds, against 23,610,000 pounds last year at this time.

As it was, the prices paid were all that the quality of the offerings f.uld expect, and the weakness was ma terially augmented by this untoward fea ture of the day.

The other was made up of lights and sold at a eood bulk price. harlie Granville of Sedgwick was on the jT.arket with a car of light hogs which fcold at the top of the bulk. The Farmers and Drovers' Bank of Mt. JHnpe were shippers of light hogs good cn.-ugh to take the top of the bulk range. ole Bros., of Mt, Hope, were on the mar-k-t with a car load of very fair hogs of medium heavy weight and selling without dock or cut-out for the top of the day, lf ng one of the two tops of $3.55. Joe Knoblauch of oClwich was in with a iar of medium light hoga of fair grade ung at a good bulk price. Campbell Horton of Caldwell and Ed A eidline of Augusta were late arrivals v th hogs which will cross the scales this rnitig. There were three cars of stosker cattle, head yarded for feed and rost. billed t' m Colorado to Eureka. They left late :-t evening for their destination. Ihe roads contributing to yesterd.-n's r .-elpts were as follows: Missouri Pa- i.tic. b; Santa Fe. 3; Rock Island and Frisco, 1 oach.

The cattle which sold yesterday, and this means all that were offered, went at EU-ady prices. The sale stock was main Jy heifers, and Dold bought all that was on sale. The demand was good and both f.it cattle and stockers and feeders would 2'dve sold well. The quality of what did j-. j was just fair and it all sold well. Fallowing are the three sales recorded: S"1 Av. Wt.

Commis-lon houses so'd pork while the packing hauso inter ests bought heavily of lard and ribs. There is now a brisk inquiry for provis ions all over, and the immediate future seems very satisfactory. The January liquidations caused the general weakness in both provisions and the slightly lawer lie hog trade. All this is now out of the way and a better tone is looked for. The market yesterday closed -strong all along the line. Ribs closed 7 cents up, and lard Si- cents up. Other markets yesterday were as fol- a-glO. Hogs Owing to the large run of hogs, iprices started ZHfUSo lower, with a re stricted demand. Subsequently the pack ers took hold more freely and the market ruled firmer.

The volume of busi ness on the cotton exchange was moder ate today, with outside selling the fea ture. The forenoon scope of fluctuations, however, was too narrow to materially benefit either faction. The opening was steady, with prices 1 to 2 points higher on the near months and 1 point lower to 1 point higher on the far months. The trading basis following the call was about at last night's final figures. Next to a weak set of English cables (and a full offs-ct of the foreign news), was a very bullish weather map. A cold wave of al most unknown severity was in almost complete possession of the cotton belt, being attended by light snow. Dispatches reported a standstill to picking and farm ing on all sides. Receipts at the ports and interior were light Private cables stated that the easier tone to the Liver pool market was directly due to the report that Neill had confirmed his big crop es timate.

EIGHT 'CRIMINALS ESCAPE Officers Hot on the Trail of the Fugitives. Eight prisoners escaped from the Sods wick count jail yesterday morning, as a result of the clever audacious and really icientiflc work of Harry Tackett, one of the worst desperadoes in this section of Kansas, and not until 6 o'clock did any Of the helpers or authorities aboat the jail know anything about the break for libertj It s the biggest jail delivery ever happen ing In this county, and the most cleverly manipulated. Harry Tackett was not satisfied to es cape by himself, but assisted seven, others tj go with him, and was offended because eierjone in his part of the jail would not accept the chance for liberty. Thos,e who escaped are: Harry Tackett, from cell 5. Bill Rhodes, from cell L James Murphy, from cell 9. Harry Alley, from cell 2. Fitz Simmons, from cell 8. James Robinson, from cell 4. Albert Adams, from coll 3. C. II. Howard, who escaped with the party, returned to the jail about 6 o'clock and informed James Potts, the fireman, aoout the occurrence, Mr. Potts had juht l.ffo'un to fire up for the day. The two thTi went up to Sheriff Simmons' rooin and Mr. Potts called loudly for Simmons, tajlng, "For God's sake, hurry up, the prisoners are escaping!" Mr. Simmons was not at home, and Mrs. Simmons an&werod the call, and Douglas Simmons, who had been awakened by the call, hurriedly dressed himself. AH was excitement about the jail. Howard helped about the work of alarm, and Mrs. Simmons ran across to notify Deputy Syl Duncan, who soon had the plan of search mapped out. Sheriff Simmons arrived from Topeka on the 8:10 train, and as soon as he heard of the occurrence he ordered cards printed and sent deputies out In accordance with the plans of Mr. Duncan. A reward of JM was offered for the capture of each of the fugitives, and Mr. Simmons after w ard raised the reward for Tackett to $lu0, making a total reward of ?-109 which he is offering personally, and will pay out of his own pocket. About 11 o'clock Tuesday night Douglas F'mmons made his uual visit to the office of the jail before retiring, and opend the b'g iron door leading from the office into the main corridor of the jail and peered in towards the rotary to see that every thing was in the usual order. Soon after this Harry Tackett bgan to get out his finely tempered instruments and began the work of escape. He poured acid on the big Iron bars, locks and bolts aud began the ediou3 work of sawing through to liberty. He first sawed into tho rivet holding the large lover that is used to operate file rotary, thus freeing the rotary. Then he 5 awed the lock of his cell, then a bolt at the 'bottom of tho cage whereby he lorined the brace to the sliding door of h: cell. He could then get out of his cell a.nd get away, but he wanted to do more. There were others in the jail who proba bly wanted liberty is well as himself, so he was nerw enough to work longer in their behalf. He then stepped across to the east side of the cage and sawed a large hck off of the rotary brake. This al lowed the big revolving case to be moved at will, and the inmates of tho cell began to turn it oog by cog. Harry Tackett was working like a tiger, for he aew the valuo of time in such an undertaking. He walked around the rotary and told every one to get ready to escape. The click of tRe rotary made a loud noise, which alarmed tr-e criminals, but they kept turning, and after a while Tackett got more brave and told the boys to "make the thing sing." After all who desired to go, got Into the cage, work was begun on the bars of the neat window, and thy were coon sawed In two. A big board had been taken from the bath room with which to pry the bars opn. but this method was too slow for Taokett, and he grabbed the bars with his hands and bent them. So desperately had h worked that he was blowing and puff ing like a prize fighter and was wet with PW ration. Ke was the acknowledged .eailer and hero of the gang and lite orders 4.1s comrades were Imperative and were run ed with dexterity. Vfor getting outklde the jail, the crowd f grated hurriedly without consultation Th cokl wintry night did not discourage an of them, although all were thinly -3ort and units! to the cold. Tackett a 1 Rhodes went off in a westerly dlrec i i-i .ind when last seen were together. ltz Simmons struck out by himself and woit north through the allev. near which r tr.ed to escape after killing Tom Miller. T i others of the gang took different di ro turns-, no two keeping together. Tho conduct of C. II. frlowvwn!, wno first broke the news of the -Whotamln escape. worthy of a good word, though he is ir Ae-r sentence to the penitentiary for staling. He took the opportunity given h in by Tackett to get out off jail, tout toe 'iow intended to run away. He wanted t see his wife and child, and consequent 1 went to his home- at 634 Bast Central jin-i remained with them about half an ""i ur, when he returned and gave the a1 inn. "1 "would liave given, the alarm njiner," raid Howard, "but I know it wuld not do, for the boys would have c in me up. Tackett -was very threaten ing in -his attitude to all of us, and as he -tl a gun we knew he had to e I'stened 1 1 When I got out I knew I wauld have i) g" Mmewhore in order to make them X e th it I wanted to get away.

SAVE YOUR HA!Rfc"cSc&wlUl Rheumatism Gone Complication of Diseases After Having the Grip 3ottor In Eyery Way Since Taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. The grip and other forms of eerious illness often 'leave the system in a thoroughly deranged condition. In such cases Hood's Sarsaparilla is just what is needed. Read this "The grip left me with a complication of diseases. I was constipated, grew very thiD and became discouraged. My wife procured a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and I began taking it. After taking sev eral bottles I gained in weight and felt 50 per cent better. The rheamatism with which I had been troubled left me and Hood's Sarsaparilla gave me strength. I have great faith in its curative power." William Calbece, Peabody, Kansas. 3 Sarsa- pariUa Is the best in fact the One True Blood Purifier.

I took that opportunity to run over and see my family and got back to the jail as soon as I could." Paul Shepherd, cellmate of Harry Alley, who is in jail for stealing an overcoat from a "West Side cnurch, was asked for Information concerning the work of Tack ott and the gang, and said that it -was the sllcke&t work he had ever witnessed. "I could "have gone easily, and had onco started to put my clotflies on, but when I thought of the few days I have to serve here I concluded it would be cheaper to 'remain at home,' "Why didn't you give the alarm?" asked a bystander. "Because that isn't what I was put in Jiere for. Besides, I would not have lived two minuter if I had attempted any such thing. Came very near getting slugged anyway for not going when they wanted mo to." Tackott's cell 'was next to Shepherd's, and when asked how the work was done Shepherd said: "Well, Tackett began at aJbout 11 o'clock with, his saw. Of course I could not see him a.t lirst, but I couid hear me grating of the instrument on the Iron. It (worked very bmootbly, though, and couldn't have been heard outside of tho room. He worked two or three hours at this. No one came to look in, and it seemed that everything worked to his "benefit. When he got out liimsef he went around witti a revolver and told every one to get out it they wanted to. The move ment of the rotary made a loud noise and I looked for the sneriff to turn up every minute, and there would have 'been a seri ous time if any one had attempted to stop Tackett, for lie meant business, llore of the prisoners would have got out, but a big blanket got fastened in tho cogs of tho rotary and stopped it so it could not ibe moved; and then those who were out began to work on "the iron bars of the window and -were soon out and gone. They got out about 5:15 o'clock. I am really glad 1 concluded not to go." "Were there any previous plans for this break that you; are aware of, or have 9ieard going on?" "Yes, I think there were. This scheme, I think, has been talked atoout for two weeks, and the leaders knew tintt sooner or later they would make ft work. Tack ett has bragged of his. experience in jail ibreaking and saJd this jail would not hold him.' fllrs. Simmons seemed greatly worried over the occurrence. She said: "I had been up and do'wn during the night with my sick boy, and at 3 o'clock this morning I casne down to get him a dose of medicine. I was in the dining room, which is next to the rotary of the jadl, and I urn not hear any unusual noise. L-Vltor that I "went to sleep, and as I had been losing so mnch sleep I suppose I slept very sound ly tifter that, though I am usually very easily awakened. When Mr. Potts broke the news to me this morning I could hard ly 'withstand the shock and became so weak that I fell on the stairway." James Potts, fireman, has liis headquar ters In the basement directly underneath the rotary of the jail. He said it w as sin gular that the prisoners took such an ac ceptable time io escape. On me several cold nights previous to this he had been sleeping in the basement in order to keep up the heat and had his cot directly under the rotary. Tuesday night he thought the weather would he warmer, so he conclud ed to sleep at home and get some needed rest. If he had remained at the Jaii it would have been imposs$ble for the ro tary to have been moved, without awaking him and he could have frustrated the plans. Had he known that Sheriff Sim mons was away, he sold, he would havo remained, as he had always done before with ottoar sheriffs, merely, however, as an accommodation. THOSE WHO WERE IN THE ROTARY. There were at the time of the delivory eleven prisoners tn the lower floor of the rotary. The four wfao did not get out are: Paul Shepherd, convicted of petty lar ceny; Jesse Looseo, sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for burglarv: George Harrison, sentenced to two years for forg ory, and George Tankersley, sentenced to a term for attempted manslaughter. Tan kersley claims that Tackett and Rhodes tried to drug him, but he would not tell for what reason. Ho said they gave him a drink of coffee which had "been drugged, and that he rmmedJateiy foil asleep and did not awaken until after the excitement was over.

Funeral services will be held Friday, followed by burial at the Derby cemetery. George Lee Reed was orn in Richland county, Ohio, sixty-eight years aeo. He came to Washington county, Iowa, early in the 50's, and for more than thirty years made his home in that state. Here he spent the best part ot" his life in helping to develop wharf, is now one of the greatest states in the Union. Poor health compelled htm to seek a warmer climate, and in 1ES4 he bought the Record at Mulvane, where he has since resided. He has been Mulvane grow from a straggling little village to one of the most important towns In this part of the state, and he has done more than any other one man to brinz about this result.

Fi GROUNDS FI Forty-Five Stalls are Burned to the Ground, ANDERSON LOSES $600 Horses are Gotten Out With out Loss or Injury, The big fire which occurred at the State Fair grounds Tuesday night was seen from the high and elevated portion of the city. No alarm could be turned in as the grounds are outside of the city limits and the hy drant service does not extend to the grounds except for private use. The fire was first discovered about 9:45 at night in one of the stalls in the middle of the east and west string. The fire burned both I ways until about forty-five stalls had been j destroyed. Others would have met witn j the same fate had not H. C. Rots, who I lives in the vicinity of the fair grounds, j gone to the scene of the conflagration and j by the advice of hi.s father. J. M. Ross, i proceeded to demolish several of the stalls j a short distance beyond where the flames I were gradually heading tor. Ross at- i tacked the buildings with an ax and soon had several of them laid low, but jus tho time when the flames had caught up with where he commenced to chop the stalls down. Quite a number of fine bred j horses were In some of the stalls located i at another point on the grounds, but as it looked at one time as if everything was doomed to go, the drivers and trainers j turned the horses loose and begun to pre- j pare to tavo their property. One; Mr. An- derson. was not so fortunate as somer of the others. He had a coat burned, among other things, and in the pocket of his coat was about $300 in notes and $300 worth of memorandum accounts. There were no horses burned and all of thor-o turned looce Tsere caught again, ex cept one black stallion which had proba- blv strayed off further than the rest. The fair grounds are owned by the Keene Sj n- t dicato of New Hampshire, and is inder j lease to the State Fair association for tne J ensuing year. Mr. Sims, who is the lorai representative of the company owning the t property, estimates the loss between $1,000 and $1,500. He had not heard of the fire until informed yesterday noon by a resi- i dent who lives near the scene of the fire, j Those who saw the illumination supposed that it was some wheat or straw stacko much farther away.
