Address eommunleatloae to THE JOUHNaKJAZCTTE ANOTHER CALAMITY IMMINENT. The fact that the entire atate may again be placed la. quarantine against the foot and mouth disease Indicates very plainly that there Is something radically wrong In the way the first outbreak was bandied. After the ex- pendlture by the state of almost .,00,000 sad aa equal amount by the government toward atamplng out the 'disease, it waa announced that the atate was free from further danger in this regard. i Then cornea the second outbreak, 'fend from all reports It is a serious one, tha dlaeaae being la malignant form.

That Illinois fscea a grave disss-: tar la tbia second calamity must be admitted and recognised now, and immediate and stringent atepa made to atom Its approach Into free territory. The state can probably afford another 12,000,000 appropriation, but It caaaot afford to allow such continued discouragement to breeders of fine stock. Many of them cannot survive another setback such as the first one proved to La. Already in thla second at break over $500,000 worth of fine Stock baa been slaughtered. Only a assail part of this losa will be paid ewaers who have devoted years of bard work and large sums of mcney toward developing the stock Industry la this state.

Another disaster of the magnitude ot the Srst one will discourage even tha most persistent breeders. While other evening papers in this territory in their Monday'a edition Stated that the assignments of the Methodist conference In session at Springfield could not be obtained for publication on that date.

STOCK MARKETS Special to Journal-Gazette. Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept 14 Stocker and feeder, purchases laat week were 27,000 bead, heaviest Jhia season, and extraordinary. Inasmuch as that number waa more tbaa alxty per cent of the total supply of cattle, killers getting only 16.000 bead. Prices on stockers and feeders were lower In the majority of rases, some cheap cattle, around being secured at bargain ratea, but a few loppy feeding steers at $7.80 to IS 60 were bought at strong prices. A large number of buyers are here today, and they bave arrived at an opportune time, aa the supply of cattle Is 28,000 head today, and prices are lower oa all classes.

Kansas and Panhandle shippers have made open threats that they are trying out the market this week, and ua-less sales ar at a price that will pay out on their cattle, or show a profit, they will atop shipping and make arrangements to go Into winter quartera. Should thla threat bold good, and there Is plenty of feed In the country to permit of Its enforcement, recelpte this fall will be cut down accordingly and prlrea will advance If the demand from the corn ststes comes up to ex-pectstlons.
