Obituary..
~ W. MAIN

Mrs. Mary @. Foetisch died Friday,
April 8, 1909, at 10 o'clock p. m. at
her home one mile north and one mile
west of carlton. The funeral SER
vices were held at the house at 10
o'clock Sunday morning, Rev. Cham
bers Of the United Brethren church
officiating. Enterment was made in
the carlton cemetery where Mrs.
E0etiseh was laid beside her husband
who preceded her to that LAND of
rest" some years ago, Mrs. Foetisch
was orly 65 years of age at her death
but had lived In America 55 years,
having come from Germany with her
parents when she was only 10 years
old, to live in St. Louis. Later she
with her husband came to Kansas,
homesteaded, and builded up the
beau iful home which she has now
left, and which has eyer been a beacon
light for her husband and children
and as well haven Of rest for any
friend or neighbor. Mrs. Foetisch was
widely known among the people of
this county. $40 know her was to
love her" and every Neighbour feels
that in losing her he has sustained
great personal lOss-fOr no sweeter,
purer or nobler example of woman
hood has 1t been our good fortune to
know. And though shs has gone
where "the weary rest from labor
she still lives Ia the memory of every
neighbor as an inspiration tu nobler
living. Always mild aud self-possessed
she went her way, yet ever held out
the fright hand of fellowship" TO
these whose paths touched even fer an
instant hers. She is survived by six
children: w. G. Foetisch. Of Renfro,
OKLA; Henry Foetisch, of Portland,
Oregon; Ernest Foetisch and Fred
Foetisch both of carlton. Mrs.
Emma Scheck of Albuquerque, N M. 3,
and Mrs. o. M. Balch of Wyoming.
All the children were at their
mothers bedside when the last mo-
ments came, except Henry, who was
not we'll enough to come. Death was
due TO pneumonia, from which she
had been suffering for two weeks.
Her condition had been critical for
several days aud death was not
entirely unexpected She was sur
rounded with every care and comfort
that loving children could give, but
her strength was not sufficient TO
rally. We extend our sincerest sym
pathy to the bereaved ones,

Purpose makes man his own second

Purpose at its best must be above

than talent, geniuS, wealth or power,
men of mighty purpose, men conse-
Grated to the daily living in the in
spring illumination of an ideal; men
who make each day count directly for
something real, who face each days
sunset with new harvests Of good for
those around them and for the world.
The great thing in life in not in
realizing a purpose, but In fghting
for it. If we feel the possibilities of
great work looming up large before
us and impelling us to action it is our
duty to consecrate ourselves to it.
Failure In a great work is nobler than
success in petty one that is beneath
our maximum of possibility. We have
nething to do with results; they do
not belong to US anyway. 1t is our
duty to do our best bravely a2d rest
ia the sweet comfort OF this fact alone,

Market Report.
Kansas City, Mo.

Cattle supply here was normal last
week, but other western markets were
lightly supplied, a circumstance which
saved the market from suffering
decline, except for slight weakness
the first days of the week, which was
afterward recovered. The run today
is 10000 b cad here, market strong to
10 higher. Killers maintain their
bearish attitude, but conservative
maj keting for the last month has en-
Oled statesmen to hold up prices
The argumentthata an Easter fasting
cut down consumption has now been
removed, and some improvement in
the outlet for beef is expected in the
market next week or SO although the
buying side continues to predict a low
condition of the beef trade for the
immediate future. Top steers last
week sold at Sc. 20 with a fair number
at So 10 to 1886. and some 1900 pound
steers in the quarantine division sold
at $500 here today. Bulk of steers
bring IS. so TO S6 80, COWS 800 to s. %,
heifers 81 90 to SO 90. calves 81 90 to
81. so, bulls So % to s. 25. There has
been small change ia the market for
stockers and feeders since week ago,
stockers at $500 to SIS So and best
feeders at $500 to So go, with few
feeders, on which packers also bid, to
the country at 1915 to So 20, for a
short feed.
The hog run begins to show signs
of falling off, but shortages for April,
which were predicted first part of the
month, have not developed yet. Run
last week was 81, 900 head, practically
of the same volume as same week a
year ago. Run today is 5000 head,
market steady to 5 higher, top 81 20,
bulk Of sales s6.75 to s7.l5, pigs 1925

now on an average than any time 10

high point of 1908, and present range
OF prices not equaled since March,

Sheep and lamb receipts are holding
up pretty good, and the market does
not show much change from a week
ago, lambs possibly shade lower for
the week, and Texas grass sheen
little higher. Run is 5000 here today,
market steady, with an insistant
demand from packers for lamb year.

his grandchildren: One night Bill
Blankenship was in Oakley, leaving
his wife and chidren aloae on the

of the youngsters displayed consider
able braVado In order to comfort his

coming over the hill singing "The

mother recognized the sounds, but
Ghey struck terror TO the heart Of the
boy. He crouched behind the kit

misery and fright. The mother re-
preached the lad for his brags.
