''Gone to Ills Rsward.'j
lYOlo Mail l


 Probably one of the most remark able obituary notices ever printe d was published in the Sulliva n county (New York; Review toda y from its Montela, Ulster county, correspondent It is as follows:
 Sam Lobdell is dead. Some days ago he was stricken with poisoning from wound in the neck while fighting with his wife when he was drunk. Doc tors Grindle, of Eureka, and Butts of Claryville, were in attendance, but despite their utmost efforts, the poison spread until as last resort they used the knife. Tn, oper ation was of ID avail, however, and now he aln't here any more.
 Sam was an unique character. Only once in generation is a com munity pestered with such hu. man viper, sujh a moral X. He was the unsolved conudrum. What IS he good for?' His only virtue was the persistence of his wicked ness, his only excellence the stabil- Tity of his unrepentance.
 "Booze.hghter, liar, .beater, chicken thief, egg stealer; profane and vile of speech to the point of Eausea, he was the trademark of sin, the seatient emblem of vice with no crime, work, beyond his capacity. But he has gone hence, and 1t is never our inclination to kick d man when he is down.
 Yet at death his proverbial luck was with him. He goes below just as the whitening frosts and the chilling winds are ushering in a long and tedious season for the good who are left. As was often the case when in life an1 in jail, he'll keep warm and comfortable at others expense. Well, so long, Sam, and so long as it is long, good luck"

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
tRy J. A. RicIart. Correspondentl

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 4, 1911. Cattle recelpts last week were less than one half as large here as in the previous week. The holiday Thursday accounted for a part of the decrease, but not all of it, and the reduced size of the run started buyers to thinking. Prices began to advance the first of the week, and firm markets were the rule every day, the close being around quarter higher than close of previous week. Today the market is steady, receipts I3,ooo head. Except for the fact that Chicago has 28,ooo head today, and a lower market, sales here would be stronger. Stockers and feeders are stronger today, some sales ten higher than Friday, most of those classes selling at $4 to S5.6o. A part of the Chicago run today is show cattle, but these will be sold on the market later in the week as Christmas beeves, and so have to be reckoned in calcula- tions of killers. Native steers sold up to S8.Io here today, and there is a good delegation of Kan sas grass cattle, off a post grad uate course on meal or shock corn here today, at S5.35 to s6, some good short fed steers at S6. 90. Best cows bring S5.25, veals S7. Colorado and other range cattle are slowing up this week, with prices almost as good as any time this season, on all kinds. Quar- antine cattle are mostly low grade, although few cattle from the mills are starting. Some II4o pound steers from Oklahoma oil mills sold at S5.75 today, and others late last week, $50 pounds brought S4.85.
 Packers succeeded in putting high prices down a little last week though the market showed come back qualities at the end of the week. The run is I2, ,ooo today, market shade higher, heavy hogs at S6. 30 to S6.35 medium weights S6.Io to S6.35, lights S5,75 to S6.2o, pigs S4.25 to S5.25. Pack CTS are running rather close stocked, as fresh meat trade ab- sorbs nearly all their purchases. As soon as the run of hogs at eastern market points subsidies little some improvement in prices at the western markets is expected though the help of the Eastern order trade.
 Sheep and lambs made two sensational advances last week, total gain 35 to 50 cents for the week. The action of the market proved that packers have small stocks of mutton in coolers, and strengthened the belief of astute commission men that prices will advance in the near future. Some say that skyrocket markets may be expected after the new year. They therefore advise owners to persist in feeding, The run is TO, ,ooo here today, market 5 to 10 lower, lambs up to $6, weathers S4, ewes s. 50. Poorly fatted stock sells far below these figures.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining or the Eustachian 1uDe. When this tube is tnfiamed you have Q rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to It's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an intlamed condition of the mucous surfaces

Spring Consistory to Be
Called, Is Announcement
From Vatican.

ROME, Dsc. B.-Pope Plus has de-
cfded to hold another consistory in the
spring. according to semi-official an
nouncement at the Vatican. A number
of new cardinals will be created and
Il seems certain that the control of
the Sacred College will be taken away
from the Italians.
Caunsed Surprise.
The announcement caused great sur
prise In clerical circles. 1t was believed
Pope Plus created 30 many cardinals at
the recent consistory because he be-
lieved 1t was his last.
The decision of the pontiff indicates
that he had decided to add enough pro-
Eressive prelates to the Sacred Col
iege to insure q successor to the throne
of Rome who win carry out the policies
It is believed that four cardinals will
be created. three Of whom will be for
eisner&. Mgr: Bello., patriarch Of Lis
prosecute on a charge Of conspiring
against the state, is believed to have
been the cardinal named secretly at the
last consistory. II conditions In Portu-
elevation to the Sacred College will be
made at the consistory In the spring.
Calls It Persecution.
The Vatican believes Monsignor
Bello is being prosecuted and thatsan
effort Il being made to stamp out the
power OF the church in Portugal.
Nevertheless, Il u regarded here as
unlikely that the government will carry
out it's reported plan Of banishing the
prelate to Africa.

Eutricht, Holland, where the church
has made remarkable strides in the
last few years, Is almost sure to be
given the red hat Father Ehrle, pom
tifical librarian. is also likely to be

Should any Italians be elevated, It 10
believed the honor would fall upon
Mgr. Giustini. secretary OF the Con-
gregation Of the Sacramentfsts, and
Archbishop Dilla Chiesa, of Bologne,
the chief supporter Of Cardinal Ram
polla in his candidacy for the papacy.
Particular Importance attaches to the
fact that even IL only one more for
eigner receives membership in the
Sacred College and no more Italians are
elevated. the power Of the Italians will
be broken.
