Near ENOUGH,

wear Enough.
We read about the simple life
And how it is succeeding.
But most of US are overjoyed
To take it out in reading.
A joy it is to contemplate
A life of bread and reason,
But at this moment. for our part.
The thing is out of season.
We praise this method to the skies
And e it highly rated,
But for our personal affair
Well take it complicated.
In dew for breakfast duly mixed
With plain and lofty thinking
Some men may joy, but we're not yet
From eggs and bacon shrinking.
To live as cattle in the field
May suit the mental plodder.
But we will make our bill Of fare
On different kinds of fodder
To live on Emerson and toast
May be sublime and filling.
AS for that noble scheme with us,
1T does not make a killing.
A sack of peanuts and a peach
A meal may make that's ample,
But. we confess. for daily fare
We do not like the sample.
Though we applaud the ones who thus
Their appetites may coddle,
We're mighty careful that we do
Not take them for a model

For Richardson County and Home

Col. Harding of humboldt be-
lieves in the idea of boosting the
home land. He has had post
cards made of his home and
is sending them around to his
friends. If everybody would be
as discriminating, and instead of
buying post cards Of foreign
scenes, would have cards made of
their homes, products, and natural
scenery, it would help advertise
Richardson county and not only
awaken appreciation Of and for
the things at home, but would
lead to home investments and in
dustrial developments.

Dawson.

The Old Settlers picnic at
Dawson was pulled off last Thurs
day and Friday in spite Of the
weather. In fact Friday turned
out to be an ideal day and en-
couraged a good attendance.
Dawson is generally able to get
out good crowd and provides a
good program. The fact that
their park is in the Nemaha bot
tom puts them at the disadyan-
tage of being shut out in case of
rain. However, the new channel
for the river carries the water be-
yond the park and Dawson will
have less to contend with in this
respect in the future. The ground
is an ideal one otherwise, and
can be made one of the finest
park grounds in the county.

lists from all over st. Joseph ter
ritory. Entries for the parade
are not to be confined to the city
of ST. Joseph, and the cash

Chautauqua in Debt.

1t is unfortunate that the en-
terprising men at the head of the
Chautauqua should be required to
dig down in their pockets and
make up a big deficit,
as a reward for their untir-
ing efforts to give Falls City
something really worth while.
The Chautauqua is too good a
thing to permit it to die out and
yet it cannot be expected that
men would be willing to give
their time and money freely for
the privilege of getting their
"heads combed. -

MARKET LETTER.
letter From our Regular Cores spond.
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Aug, %, 1910.
The action of the cattle mar
tet last week was encouraging to
owners of stuff yet to market, as
everything on the list advanced
ID to 40 cents, with the exception
of stockers and feeders, market
for which grades sagged after
the opening days, and closed 20
to 30 cents lower for the week.
Beef consuming channels broad
ened very much last week, and
although the total cattle sup
ply for the week was largest of
the season, $4,000 head, including
10000 calves, buyers for the kill
ers rode hard all week, and took
lots Of steers that ordinarily go
to the feeders. While prices on
country grades weakened last
week, and an accumulation Of
1000 stale cattle remained in
the pens at the close of the week,
The movement TO the country WAS
nearly 500 ears, also record for
tbs season. Run today is 10000
ca tie here, including 1000 calves,
market steady to lO-higher. Good
weight native steers got the most
gain today, best steers worth
$3.50, top here today $500. The
general feeling is that the good
condition of the market will con
tinue all through the fall months.
1t is conceded that the corn grow
ing area will ship less cattle To
market this fall than would have
been the case were corn pros
poets not so good. On the other
hand, hay is so high in price in
the mountain sections that eat
tie will be shipped out pretty
clean from there this season. A
train of Old Mexicos from Colo
RADIO sold at $40 here last week,
and some S74 Utah feeders
brought $500 here today, horn
ed killing steers in this shipment,
little heavier, at $3.50. Best
veal calves $500, stock steers
$500 to 1925, feeders $4.00 to
$500.
Hogereceipts were lightest of
the year last week, at $4,000 head
and the market gained 20 cents
on an average. Heavy hogs
gained the most, as packers are
meeting a very good demand for
big weight hog products. The
situation is regarded as bullish
from every angle at this time.
Run here today is only 1000, mar
ket supply and 10 to 20 higher
than the close of last week, and
heavy hogs today at $3.50, medi-
um weights 1910 to $9.O5, light
hogs $3.50 to $905.

death OF AN EARLY settler
DEATH OF MRS. ELIZA CROOK
FRIDAY, AUG. 9TH.
She Came to Richardson County In
1854 and Was Falls City's
Oldest Resident

Mrs. Eliza Crook passed away
Friday, August 10, 1910. For a
long time she had not been inI
the best of health, and for theI
past few weeks she grew much
worse and her friends knew the
end was near. She was a patient
sufferer of that dreaded disease,
cancer.
Death no matter to whom, or
in what form it comes always
brings with it the tear of sor-
row and the sigh of grief, but 1t
is not always that single visi-
tation of the destroyer brings
such widespread regret or draws
forth 50 many expressions of that
regret. This wide spread, outspok-
en- expression of SORROW was theI
highest tribute that the commu-I
nifty could pay to the character
and worth Of the departed. And
through years of close association
the people Of this city has come
to know Mrs. Crook so well, to-
so appreciate her wOmanly quali-I
ties. and so come under the influ-
ence of her christian character
as to feel that this tribute was
due her.
True WomanhoOd finds its high
est exemplification in the home,
and it was here that the true no
ability of she who has been called
away was most beautifully
shown. She was always a loving
mother to her children and grand
children. But this dear old lady, |
who had lived such a righteous
and noble life, and whose hands
have always been busy is now at
eternal rest.
Eliza Whitaker was born May
!, 1880 in North Carolina. When
a very small girl she moved with
her parents to Tennessee. And
on February %, 1916 she was
married to Jesse Crook, of which
union the following children
were born: John Crook, who died
in 1867 at the age of twenty-one
years. and VIM. II. Crook and
Sarah f. Wilhite, both of this
city.
In 1853 Mr.. and Mrs. Crook
started for Nebraska. They were
accompanied by a number Of rel
atives and neighbors and their
three children. On reaching An
drew county, Missouri, they dis
covered that the negotiations with
the Indians had not been com
pleted and that the Indian title
had not yet been eXtinguished.
Nebraska was not opened for set
tlement for eighteen months after
their arrival in Missouri and they
remained in that state. In 1854
they settled on the old homestead,
where they lived until moving
to this city.
For many years she and her
husband were engaged in running
a hotel in Falls City. In this
way she was known to most of |
the early settlers of the county.
Mrs. Crook probably lived longer
on the townsite of Falls City than
any person ever in it, and no one
was engaged in the active duties
oi life for a longer number of
years. 1t was only a few years
ago that she and her husband
moved to a neat little cottage in
west part of town to enjoy few
years of rest and recreation and
here her tired eyes closed on
the scene of her struggles and
opened again in the land Of re
ward.
The funeral services were held
from the residence on Sunday
morning at nine o'clock, conduct
ed by Rev. NJ. C. Brooks Of the
Methodist church. The remains
were taken to Steele cemetery
where they were tenderly placed
beside her husband, who died on
Christmas day, 1908.
