Kansas City Stock Report.
Kansas City Stock Yards,

Kansas City Stock Yards,
March l, 1902.
Cattle supplies continue very
light and prices to advance.
The increase in values the past
seven days amounts to fully 80
cents per hundred. The buyers
show a willingness to make
reasonable bids on all classes
of stock that is wonderfully en-
couraging to the producer.
There have been no strictly
choice export steers on the
market this week, the top for
the week being 6.65, but good
we'll finished cattle would bring
from $50 to 200 on todays
market. f. M. Ecton, Carroll
ton, Mo-, topped the heifer
market for the season today
with three heifers that weighed
82O-lbs each and sold at $500
per hundred. The general
range of dressed beef prices has
been from 500 to 6.65; butcher
cows and heifers 3 % to 600;
Gamers, $50 to.3.25.
The stayer. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1896-1903, 1902-03-06

The country demand for
stockers and feeders cont nues
to improve; the moderate Of
ferings of good quality finding
ready sale at steady values, but
dealers have an accumulation OF
light common StoCkers and that
class of cattle are some lower.
Prices range al the way from
1926 to 5.15.
Texas and Territory meal or
corn fed cattle are eagerly
sought for by all the dressed
beef buyers. At one time Mon
day with about one. half the sup,
ply in the native yards, there
was not a single steer buyer to
be found in the native divisions;
they were all bucking each
other in the quarantine division
where the market was fully 10
cents higher. W. f. Smith,
White Eagle, o. Y. topped
Wednesdays market with AZ
steers that weighed 1225-lbs
each and sold at $685.. Thurs
day w. w. O'Bryan, WEIGH, |.
II. raised Mr.. Smith out by sell
ing 81 steers that weighed 1889
pounds each at $50. The top
for the week was 5.S5 with gen.
eral prices ranging from 4.40 to
5.35.
Hog products during the
early part OF the week were al
most panicky, with live hogs
The stayer. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1896-1903, 1902-03-06

correspondingly lower. The
reaction that developed Thurs
day is still in evidence and
both hog commodities and live
hogs are quoted almost as high
as last weeks prices. Top for
the week was 9,42t, with prices
ranging from $50 for common
lights to 6.42t for prime heavies
The continued stringency of
sheep supplies at this point has
held prices well up this week
and the market has been active
and satisfactory compared with
last weeks quotations. Lambs
show slight weakness but the
fact is that the lower quotations
are tracea BE to marked fall
ing off in quality of the offer
ings and not to any depreciation
in values. Prices being paid
here are comparatively higher
than those obtaina BILE at Eastern
markets and producers would
find it to their interest to con-
slider the merits of this market
when making Consignments.
Native lambs have sold this
week from 6.35 to $50; ColOra.
do lambs 6.25 to 6.45; Western
wethers 500 to $50; Western
yearlings $50 to $50; Western
ewes $50 to $40.

ANNIVERSARY GREETING.

The following is the tenth anniversary
greeting of the supreme commander:
ITO the officers and Members. Greeting:
I'VE are passing the tenth mile
stone in the history of our order. To-
day. the colors of our order will
fly from the house tops Of 100000
homes, some of them draped with the
scmber hue that tells the story Of life.
that some of our sisters have gone on
before us. The home protection col
ors, on this our tenth anniversary, will
be intertwined with the Stars and
Stripes and the Union Jack in the lodge
rooms throughout the Jurisdiction.
During the past ten years many a
child has rejoiced because of the order
of the Ladies of the Maccabees. Homes
have been maintained where otherwise
it would have been impossible to do so.
Thirty years ago, when the fraternal
protection system was established in
this country, 1t was established by faith
without any actuarial basis, mortality
table or rates. This idea has grown
until we have passed the gulf of un-
certainty, and have reached scientific
basis. Charity and fraternity have
been extended, through the fraternities
all over this broad land of ours, entire
" obliterating sectional lines. The Sis
terhood of the States and provinces
clasp hands, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. and from Puget Sound to the
Gulf of Mexico.
Ten years ago, when our order had
its birth, young woman was appoint
ed supreme record keeper by the Su-
preme Tent, Knights of the Maccabees,
and advised that the field was open for
woman's order auxiliary to the Su-
preme Tent. She started out in pur-
suit of members. with the assistance,
sympathy and good wishes of the
knights of the Maccabees. and was ex-
pected to make her work pay for itself,
or, in other words, when she secured a
charter list she turned over the money
to buy supplies to fit out the hive.
Miss West was fully equipped with
experience along the line OF organiza-
tion work, inasmuch as she was great
lieutenant commander and State or
the Maccabees for Michigan, and as
sisted in laying the foundation of the
order in the State, having organized
fifty hives under the Great Hive for
Michigan. Before the revenue of the.
Supreme Hive was sufficient to permit
of workers being placed in the field,
she pioneered the work and organized
the first hives In fifteen States and
provinces, organizing In al sixty hives.
II became associated with the order
in 1896. when the order numbered s.
f70 members. We have worked side
by side for the upbuIlding OF the or.
der, and by the support and efforts of
our loyal officers and members in the
various States and provinces throughout
the entire Jurisdiction we can point to
our order, numbering 10000 members,
with an emergency fund OF nearly $780,
600 behind our promises to pay, and
hold it up as great monument to
cause and achievement.
Trusting that we may receive your
cooperation in the future as we have
in the past, and thai we will see large
accessions to membership during the in
coming term, remain, i2ap
yours sincerely and fraternally, y

BEGINNINGS OF L. o. T. M.

The years of the introduction of a new
order are years of toll. and often labor
unrewarded, but to those who have
watched the progress of the Ladies of
the Maccabees of the World from in
fancy TO maturity, it is sufficient recon-
pense for all the trials, the discourage
ments and the struggles to see the proud
position 1t has attained among the great
fraternal orders of today
Viewed from our present height of
prosperity and financial standing there
is personal pride in having pioneered
the work of this great order and directed
the office of supreme record keeper for
its first ten years. and 10 know that
through these successive years it's funds
have been secure, that not one dollar
has been lost or diverted, that all bills.
claims and liabilities have been met
that its laws have been strengthened
