Obituary
Ellis Headlight.

Ellis Headlight.
Alvan Lester Saunders was born in
Nashville, New York, Dec. %, 1884,
and emigrated to Wisconsin and en-
listed in Company G 1st Regiment of
the Wisconsin Cavalry, August 25,
1861, and was honorably discharged
in the city of St. Louis, Mo, October
%, 1851, because of disability.
He was married to Mary Taylor of
Ottawa, Kans., April %, 1867. To
this union was born one son and two
daughters. There remains to mourn
his loss, his loving wife, his son. jeff
.erson Saunders, of Hays, Kansas, and
his daughter, Mrs. A. t. Carelton, of
Trego county. His other daughter,
Mrs. Jessie Branch, wife of Elmer
Branch died May 4, 1907.
He was born into the kingdom of
God own dear Son, in 1873 and unit
ed with the Methodist church and
God took him on last Sunday, May 81,
1911. and he is now enjoying the Sab
bath that hath no end.
He was not rich as far as this
worlds goods were concerned - but
what if he had left a fortune, it
would be of no benefit to him now.
Burial robes have no pockets in them.
We brought nothing into this world
and it is certain that we carry moth
ing out. He seemed more nearly con-
cerned as regards the comfort and
care of his family, for they were the
objects of his solicitations and tender
ministrationS.
IL
for his family and his fidelity to his
friends whose names were legion.
Really we must all learn, that all
that remains of life worth living af-
ter marble monuments have crumbled
into dust and canvas becomes stained
and soiled, will be that which we
have put into the lives of others
through deeds of loving service.
The flowers will soon blossom over
his grave; the birds carol their songs
over his tomb, but his tender affec-
tions and many kindnesses will ever
be enshrined in the hearts of those
whom he knew and loved.
There were placed ON the tomb
stone of a great man these words:
! Here lies what once was Mathew
Prior, son of Adam of eve
Can Bourbon of Nassau claim high
err"
Farewell friend, brother, father,
husband, your hfe's work is done,
and the finale of all matter is writ
ten upon your career, but you will
ever remain in our lives as one we
knew and loved. To God who doeth
all things well, and in whom there
is no variableness or shadow turning,
we commit you, knowing that he has
done, is now doing, and will continue,
to do all things well.

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas CITY Stock \ ards, May 80,
1911.
A good Decoration Day run of cat
tie came in today, 1000 head, and buy
ers went after them like hot cakes in
winter, the market strong to 10 high
er. New high tops were made on
yearlings at S6.35, and heavy steers at
S6.25. Everybody bought literally
yesterday, when the supply was A.
600 head here, but it did not dull
their appetite for today, and the
hope is being fostered in live stock
circles that we are on the eve of an
advance in cattle prices. Corn fed
offerings are dwindling and while
pasture cattle in the west, and dis
tilery cattle in the east, together
with increasing quarantine receipts,
will fill up the gap in a measure, it
begins to look as though receipts the
next two months might be a little
Shy. Some dry weather stock cattle
appeared here yesterday, from south
west Missouri, but not enough to ac-
count for the break in prices on
country grades that occurred yeSter-
day, 10 to % cents. That class is SELL
ing steady to weak today, and it is
the first time this year that fat cat
tie and stock cattle were both travel
ing away from each other, and both
in the proper direction. Quite num-
ber of cattle now sell at Sc, and bulk
of stesrs bring bring S5 go to Sc, cows
81 to S5.25, heifers 81. rs to Sc, bulls
81 to S., calves s4. so to $3.50, quaran-
tine steers S4 35 to So 60, stockers and
feeders S4. 73 to $500.
The hog run today exceeded first
estimates more than five. thousand
head, the total reaching $4,000, but it
did not do as much damage to the
market as might have been expected
Early sales were steady, but the mar
ket soon got on five to ten bower
basis, where it stayed till the close,
top S6-12 1-2, same as yesterday,
bulk S5.95 to So. 05. Rains the first of
the week throughout Kansas inter
fered with farm work and gave own
ers a chance to market some hogs,
| hence the big run today. Supplies
are not expected to hold up as heavy
as today, and the break today is not
taken seriously.
| Sheep and lamps are slipping this
week, off a little yesterday, and a
quarter lower today. Natives form
bulk of the supply, and quality is
nothing to brag about. Spring lambs
reached 81 today, clipped lambs worth
S6.5 so for best, yearlings $3.50, wethers
$3.50, ewes s4.25, goats S3 to s3. IS.
Texas stuff got started little by the
] recent bulge in the market, but this
break will stop it again, and moder-
ate runs are expected. Supply today
200 head.

While our neighboring towns all
around US are boasting of great
things happening in them, Jetmore
can now boast of a real elephant kill
ing, which took place last Sunday.
Probably the only elephant that was
ever killed in Kansas. The Kit Car
son Wild West show had an elephant
which became vicious and unmanage-
able, and soon after the arrival of the
show here last Sunday morning, he
was choked down and shot, after
which his body was buried. He was
young elephant, being about nine
years old, and had killed four
trainers, the last one at Macon, Mo-,
two weeks ago today, since which
time they kept him chained up in a
car, not daring to take him out on
account of his bad disposition. The
show management decided the safest
thing to do was to get him out of the
way before he caused more trouble.
The show management reports that
these animals, when once fully con-
quered, nearly always remain docile
and easily handled, but if not con-
quered, are dangerous proposition.
The one killed here weighed about
two tons, and was valued at 81, ,5O0.-

The Weather Twenty Years Ago

:. When the disastrous crop failure of
1890 occurred there was comparative
ly little wheat lost, as the farmers
had, on account of the low prices
then prevailing, largely abandoned it
and turned their attention to corn.
But the loss of the corn crop that
year was so sweeping, and following
as it did so closely on the failures of
1887 and 1888, that during the fall of
1890, every man seemingly, who could
raise the money to buy the seed went
back to wheat culture, and an i'm
mense acreage for those days was
sown. Weather conditions for large
yield were good during the fall and
winter and until about the first of
A April, 1891, when it become Cry and
so continued during that month and
the first half of May. Wheat fields
began to turn yellow and the farmers
were "blue'. The worst field in this
locality was fifty acres owned by
former sheriff w. A. Ware, two and a
half miles southwest of Osborne
afterwards owned and occupied for
several years by A. Gilbert of this
city, but now owned by Fred Mellies.
Mr.. Ware repeatedly offered to take
$50, or 81 per acre for the field. Dur
ing that entire dry period the writer
saw it two or three times a week.
There is no question but if set afire
on the sixteenth day of May, 1891,
every acre of it would have burned.
But on the seventeenth day of May,
or twenty years ago yesterday, it be-
gan to rain, and it kept at it pretty
well during the remainder of the
spring and throughout the summer
and fall. Mr.. Wares field made the
minimum yield for that year, or
twenty-five buShel per acre. Many
fields made over thirty bushels, and
we occasionally heard of one yielding
more than forty bushels per acre.
That was the year thousands of
bushels of wheat rotted in the stack
on account of the great excess of
moisture. Our farmers better un-
derstand stacking and handling their
crops now, and doubtless like pre-
cipitation now would not cause near
ly so great a loSs.-Osborne Farmer.
