Thanksgiving turkeys will be very cheap
this year. Commission men In st. Louis,
Mo-, say the turkey crop Is the largest ever
known. All agree that this is the direct
result Of the efforts of the / eef trust to cor

the packers decided to corner the poultry
market they sent agents throughout the
South and West, and offered such induce

was a rush to engage in turkey raising.
The result is that turkeys are now SO plen-

OBITUARY.

DIED-At her home five miles south
west of Kiowa, on Tuesday night,
March 81, 1899, Mis-. Cornelia Tyler,
wife of w. b. Tyler.
The deceased was born in Cooper
county, Missouri, Nov. 10, 1868. Her
| maiden name was Corneiia Hood.
When twenty years Of age she removed
to Harper county, Kansas, remaining
| there SIX months, thence to Barber,
| near Aetna where she resided until the
opening of the Cherokee Strip, Septem-
Der 1898, when, with her mother and
several other members of the family,
she removed to her mothers homestead
near the state line west of Ki0wa
She was married April %, 1894, to w.
Il. Tyler and resided on The latter's
claim until her death. She united with
the Baptist church at the early age of
l6 years, and, after coming to Barber
county, with the Christian church at
Medicine Lodge, in which faith she
continued during the remainder of her
life. Mrs. Tyler had been a sufferer
for a number of years and from a COM
piicatiOn of diseases. About eight
years ago the physicians pronounced
her afflicted with consumption and
heart disease, and later with Bright's
disease, for which she was treated by
DR.. G.. G. FGrley, of Wichita, and had
been pronounced cured, when she was
again attacked with galloping con-
sumption and heart failure. DR.. Bur.
nette, of KIOWa, attended her during
her last illness but he realized that the
case was hopeless. Her mother was at
her bedside day and night, and loving
friends and kind neighbors did all that
human hands could to relieve her suf-
ferlng and restore health; but all eff
forts were unavailing. He who doeth
all things best willed otherwise, and at
$40 p. M, on the 2lst day of March the
slender threads that held soul and body
together were severed and the soul
took flight to that land where sorrow
and suffering are no more.
On Wednesday a large number of
friends and neighbors followed the re-
IAdlllo W Iuo W. Gil uICu III AlOWd,
where q short memorial service was
held, Rev. j. Hamlne Smith officiat-
Ing, and thence to RlyervieW cemetery
where the body was laid in its final
| resting place.
Mrs. Tyler was one Of those noble,
amiable women who, it seems Oft times,
! are 10 be found only among the afflict-
ed: although scarcely day has passed
in recent years that she might have
been said to be in good health, she was
always cheerful, kind and entertaining.
Patiently she bore her cross, awaiting
that relief which One alone can give.
During her last illness she realized that
death was near and frequently said
that she was prepared and willing to go
when the summons comes.
A husband, a son four years old 1.-THE
only child). mother, a sister and two
brothers remain to mourn her depart
