The most notable cattle sale ever held
In the sale paUIIon at the Kansas City
Mock yardb 'was that held yesterday, when
101 head of the famous Cross herd of Here
fords, Including the show herd of Sunny
Slope farm, were sold at auction. Tho
nalo was notable in the total receipts, the
cattle selling .for a total of $3I.CM. It was
notablcMn that a cow was sold for the
highest price ever realized for a Hereford
in this country or for a cow of any other
breed since the high prices shortly fol
lowing the civil war. It was notable in
that it broke the record at the Kansas
City le pavilion for prices either for
cows or bulls. ,
' In opening the sale. Colonel Aoods, the
auctioneer, spoke feelingly of the late
Banker Cros, who was so popular with
Hereford breeders.
Mrs. Cross was present through the sale
nnd showed great familiarity with each in
dividual animal brought out. A noel feat
ure of the sale was that the clerk was a
woman, the llrst instance of the kind at a
Bale In Kansas City. Mr. Cross stenog
rapher acted as clerk. She waq as fa
miliar with the breeding of the cattle as
was Mr. Cross himself.
The Fensational cent of the day was
the purchase by K. B. Armour, of Kansas
Citv! of Beau Real's Maid, for J2.23?. the
highest price ever paid for a Hereford cow.
Beau Real's Maid has taken prizes over all
cows of beef breeds many times and is un
doubtedly the finest individual beef cow in
the world to-day. The bidding started at
.! nH n,nl lin In IlITTinR Of iJi tO SlW.
until 11.800 was reached. Here it hung for a
time and then suddenly soared again to
$2,130. at which price the beautiful creature
was knocked down to Mr. Armour. Thomas
Clark, of Buckner. 111., was a strong bid
der for the animal and after she had been
sold at the highest price ever known, both
Mr. Armour and Mr. Clark were warmly
cheered by the crowd. Besides this, several
other animals brought ery his prices and
the 104 head sold averaged $333 1. each. This
Is a higher average than has been attained
nt any sale at the pavilion for some time.
Tho highest price at which an individual
ever sold at the pavilion before was Il.IuO.
which was brought by Heslod jOth. a Here
ford bull, at the Funkhouser sale a few
weeks ago. The purchaser was J. M. Cur
ult of &niaVcity. The highest price
ever realized for a cow at a pavilion tale
heretofore was J1.023. which an imported
cow Queen's Heifer, brought at K. B. Ar
mour's sale. She was bought by Scott &
Whitman, of Ruble. Kas.
Several years ago, in the fat stock show
fiavs of 1SS4. Gudgell & Simpson sold twenty
l,ull at an average of J1TC23. The same
e-ir James A. Funkhouser sold eleven
'bulls at an average of 4"3C: and twenty
n"ne cSwsat an average of JI'O.63. But not
Individual sold as high as come of jes-
tevtaMr Cross' sale at Emporia last March
twenty-six imported bulls brought an av
erage of J7K53. and twinty-lx home-bred
bulfs an average of NSS CRW,1
fiold at an average of J-Ii.60. One bull
broucht the phenomenal price of J3.000.

BURLINGTON TO CONSOLIDATE.
Will Spend 9200,000 In Improvement
Plann Are Now Beinir Pre
pared far (be 'Work.
1a. F. Goodale. of St. Joseph, chief en
gineer of the Burlington Route, is busily
engaged preparing plans and specifications
for improvements in the sv stem's termi
nals in Kansas City, which will probably
cost at least $200,000 but will put the road
in much better shape than heretofore.
As is well known, the Burlington sys
tem comes into Kansas, City over two of
its own Jines the Hannibal c St. .Jobcph
railroad and the Kansas City, St. Joseph
& Council Bluffs road. "While both roads
are Burlington properties, and are operated
under the general management of that
sjhtem. they have alwajs maintained here
two sets of yards, two round houses, two
freight depots, etc. Now this Is all to be
consolidated, and it is upon this work that
Chief Engineer Goodale is emplojed draw
ing plans.
The plans contemplate consolidating the
terminals of the Hannibal & St. Joseph
and the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Coun
cil Bluff . The present Hannibal jards
will be used for passenger and repair
tracks, while the new jards of the Kan
sas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs,
will be greatly enlarged and improved to
nccommodate all of the freight traffic of
both lines. An immense freight depot, the
largest in the city, and SO0 feet long, will
he built at Twelfth and Mulberry streets
and the freight platform will ctend 60u
feet bevond this, thus giving a total of
1.4C0 feet over a quarter of a mile of
Moor space for the handling of freight.
The freight depot will be but one story
hlt-h, except a portion at one end, which
will be two stories, the upper floor to ac
commodate the offices. The two round
houses now in use will be torn down and a
new one built, to hold more engines than
both of the present one, but with every
thing about it of the most modern tvpe.

Improvements nt the Union Depot
Pant Appronchlnc Completion
Some Tvew Feature.
The executive offices of the Union Depot
Company were changed jesterday to the
new rooms near the middle of the build
ing on the second floor, west of what will
be the ticket office waiting room. A bal
cony from Superintendent Sanford's olP.ce
and Baggagemaater Cpdegraff's office ovei
Iooks the waiting room and arcade 40 feet
long.
The work of retiling the floors has b.
gun. One of the improvements in connec
tion with remodeling the depot, nearly
completed, is the diivewav 100 feet long
on the Union avenue front, over which will
be a spacious open balconv thirty fet
wide. Settees and chairs will be placed on
the balcony for tho convenience of pat
rons. The waiting room space of the re
modeled depot will es-ceed that of the
Union station at St. Louis. ".SjO square

RECEPTION TO STUDENTS.
Y. 31. C. A. Will Entertain Thin Evening-
Pupil" of All the ltuxlnc!
CoIleRes of the Cltj.
The Y. M. C. A. will give a reception
to the students of the business colleges th's
evening from S to 10 o'clock. The enter
tainment w 111 consist of a gv mnasium drill
and a musical and litcrarj" programme,
given by the students of the different
colleges.
The educational classes of the association
are doing good work. The clas in Span
ish is. doing especially well, and there is
room for a few more who wish to take
this course, which will undoubtedly prove
or service in tne luiuru.
Conductor Snln Laid Off.
Charlj- Sain, who has been a passenger
conductor on tho Hannibal & St. Joseph
road for half n dozen jears. and has been
one of the most popular men In the serv
ice of that company, has been let out bj
the company. AVhile the notice from the
companj" was a dismissal, his friends claim
he will almost certalnlv be reinstated f-oon.
The trouble occurred December 4, when he
put a mar. off the train near Clarence.
The man had .1 tup pass that had expired,
which vi as refused. He objected to pajirg
his fare to the next regular station, claim
ing he must be let oft at the lirt flag
station. Conductor Sain had one opinion
and the passenger another and the pas
senger claimed he was nut off between
stations and suffered linanclallv because
of being thus prevented from keeping a
business engagement.
Generally Fair nnd Cold.
It was cold jesterdaj, much colder than
It was the daj- before, and not once dur

It will be just about the same to-daj- as

Tim Kennedy nnd .1. 31. Orford
AVcre Ilminrrntcil b the Po
lice Commissioners.
The greater part of the sei-sion of he
board of police comm!-ioners jtsterday
afternoon was occupied in listening to the
complaints filed against certain members,
of the force. Detective George Brjant and
Officers Tim Kennedy. James M. Orford,
AY. S. Murphy and Park Policeman Samuel
Smith were on the carpet. All of the men
were exonerated with the exception of
Smith, the cae against him being con
tinued until ne.t 'Wednesday.
Charges of conduct unbecoming an of
ficer were made by Mrs. Jennie Ixvse
against Detective Brvant. About siK weeks
ago Mr. Lowe was arrested on .1 charge
of robbing an ex-soldier named Clnrles
Reed. Detective Brvant was detailed rn
the case and he recovered from Mr;-. I.owe
322 of the amount of money it is alleged
was stolen from Reed. A few da.vs ago
Sirs. I.owe filed charges with the board
against Bryant, alleging that at the time
of her arrest the officer made a proposi
tion to secure her release if she would pav
him the sum of ?20. These charges fell
flat whtn investigated by the board jes
terday. There was absolutely nothing in
them and the board promptly exonerated
Detective Brjant.
Officer Tim Kennedy was before the
board to answer to a charge of drunken
ness. It had been charged that Kennedy
appeared in police court last Saturday
morning under the influence of liquor.
There was nn ncr-on nresent to ure-w the
charges before tho board. Sergeants New
ell and casKev anil a nan uozen unmns
tpstineil th.-.t ICennedv was not Intoxicated
and had not even been drinking. He said
that the lo'-s of sleep mane mm urovvy
on the morning he is alleged to have ap
peared in police court in a state of intox
ication. He was exonerated.
Officer James M. Orford was in the em
plov of the Williamson Laundry Company
for'several months, prior to his appointment
as a patrolman. When he quit AVillltm
son's emplov he was indebted to him in
the sum of J1"A 'Williamson made chaige
to tho effect that Orford had defrauded
him out of that amount of money, so the
officer claimed. The trouble between Wil
liamson and Orford dates back nearly three
jears. Orford admitted jesterdny thit
the debt is an honest one and that he would
have paid it long ago had not Williamson
nrpnw.l him of beintr an embezzUr. In
asmuch as the dealings between William
son nnd Orford occurred more than two
j ears, prior to the latter's appointment to
a position on the forre. the board declined
to consider the charges.
Agnes T. Bevington of X Hast Seventh
street, failed to appear to prosecute the
charges she had previously filed against
Officer W. S. Murphv for conduct unbe
coming a policeman. She charged him with
having cursed and abused her. There was
nothing in the charges and they were
promptly dismissed by the board.
Amos H. Kagy filed charges against Park
Policeman Sam Smith some time ago for
conduct unbecoming an officer. The case
was called for tho third time jesterday and
again continued until next Wednesday. Mi.
Kagv was notified to appear at that time
or the charges will be dismissed.
PrntcHt Against n hnlnnn.
Property- owners in the neighborhood ot
Charlotte and Campbell and Independence
avenue were before the board of poliee
commissioners jesterdav afternoon to pro
test against the transfer ot the dramshop
license of Thomas Bibbs and Hcnrj- Thomp

The matter ot front feet represented by the
