KANSAS CITY MARKETS.
Review of Prices and Conditions of
the Week.

! Kansas City. Feb. 24-The general
| cattle market recovered somewhat from
| its bad condition the first of last week
/ by the close. and the situation is steady
/ TO strong except on medium class fed
| steers. which are barely steady. The
run today is about normal at 1000
| head, with she stuff and stockers and
feeders selling best. The country de-
mand continues strong. as the near ap-
proach of spring.is an important favor
| able item in figuring on the purchase Of
stockers. while the sentiment is gener-
ally favorable regarding the future Of
! the fat cattle market. with the usual
| large number of buyers such q condi-
ton of thought naturally makes. Heavy
feeders are approaching prohibitive fig
ures. bulk of feeders selling at S4.40 10
S4S5, a few below s4.25. while stock
ers bring $3.50 to $3.50. Top corn fed
steers here lately sold at $6.25. bulk OF
steers s4.65 to $5.35. cows $500 to S4.75.
heifers $3.50 to $500. bulls $500 to
S4.15. calves % to 80 cents lower than
a week ago. at $3.75 10 1925. according
to weight. age and flesh.
Mutton receipts are running short of
last year at this time. although there
IS liberal supply today, at $1,000 head.
The market on lambs declined 10 to l.
cents last week, warnings. wethers and
ewes holding steady account of scar
city. The general market is 10 lower.
covering all kinds. partly due to the
liberal supply, but mainly on account
of adverse reports from Chicago. Buy
crs claim the market here has been too
high, and are attempting to put II on
an equality with other points. Bulk of
lambs sold at 1925 to $3.50. weighing
&c to 90 pounds. nothing choice or fan
cy included, some IS pound yearlings
from the Arkansas valley today at
$3.50. ewes at $3.50 $40 although some
fancy ewes sold at S5.25 to $40 late
last week. Very few .wethers have been
included lately. one lot at $5.S5 last
week. and one medium lot at $40. The
market is in a good healthy state, and
likely TO remain so on the reduced sup
plies that appear available for the i'm
mediate future.

EVADING JURY DUTY.

Fertile must be the imagination of the
citizen who successfully evades doing
his duty on the jury. A man on one
occasion appeared before the judge and
exclaimed, pleadingly:
Sir, if you can excuse me, pray do.
don't know which will die first-my
wife or my daughter"
Dear me, that's sad" said the judge.
Certainly, you are excused"
The next day the man was met by
one Of the jurors, who in a sympathetic
voice. said:
"How's your wife,"
shes all right. Why do you ask"
And your daughter"
shes all right, too. Why do you
ask"
Why, yesterday you told the judge
that YOU did not know which would die
first"
Nor do 1. That is a question time
alone can tell."-CasselTs Journal.

The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1907-11-16

Dr. n. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department, in AZ interview,
defends the national pure-food law from
the attacks of those who charge the in
creased cost Of living to it's operation. DR..
Wiley admits that pure foods are worth
more, and should bring higher prices in
the markets than debased foods, and says
that any legitimate rise in the price on
this account is benefit to the consumer
rather than to the producer, and should
be regarded as blessing and not as a
curse. He calls attention to the fact that
while pure foods have advanced in price
the adulterated articles have declined.
Nevertheless he points out that the great
staple articles which form 80 per cent
OF the food supply, are not, and cannot be,
affected by this law. He warns the pub
lie that in no case does the government
guarantee the purity of anv article manu-
featured and sold, but merely aims to
have the goods sold for what they are.

SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.
THIRTY-sEvENTH REUNION OF
ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
S1Gibraltar Of the south" UnderEoes
Another Siege Concentrating the
One Which Was Among the Most
/ Remarkable I'm Military History.

The Society of the Army OF the Ten
nessee, composed Of officers who served
IN the great army of the West under
Grant and Sherman, recently held it's
annual reunion at Vicksburg, Miss.
/ There, where frowned during the
frst two years of the Civil War the
impregnable Notifications Of the Con-
federacy, choking the trade Of the
great river and cutting the southern
half of the republic in two, there, where
the great siege was fought out bitterly
and bravely on each side, but with vic
tory to Grant, the commander who
never led to ultimate defeat, the rem
nant of the society which, formed in
the field ia 1865 and included all of
the officers of the Army of the Tennes-
see, met in it's thirty-seventh session.
With it foregathered some of the
surviving Confederate officers who were
among the besieged in the fated city,
with Gen. Pemberton, from May 10,
1868, when the ring of assault was
finally closed around Vicksburg, until
the 4th day of July, when the suffering
garrison stacked their arms and $1,000
troops surrendered to the forces of the
Union.
The siege of Vicksburg is considered
one of the most remarkable in all mill
tary history. The difficulties to be
overcome were tremendous. Again and
again were the naval forces on the riv-
er and the army on land repealed from
''the Gibraltar of the South" but the
whole nation knew that the struggle
must never end until Vicksburg was in
the hands of the Union forces.
The United States government has,
in commemoration of the great siege,
purchased the fighting ground around
the city, 1888 acres, and is making a
