THE STATE EXCHANGE W. E. CARNAHAN BANK Cashier Obituary Katherine Coddington was born in Sydney, Champagne county, January 9, 1845, and died at her home in Allen township, Jewell county, Kansas, February 5, 1912, aged 67 years, 27 days. She was united in marriage to Henry McElroy, August 3, 1865, and came to Kansas in 1871. To this union were born thirteen children, nine of whom, five sons and four daughters, together with a lonely mother and two brothers and three sisters survive her.

She was a loving wife and mother. The funeral services, which were very largely attended by sympathizing friends and neighbors, were held at the Pleasant Prairie school house, conducted by Rev. C. E. Carpenter, and the body was laid to rest in the cemetery near the school house.

"There is nothing radical or unreasonable in helping a weak man to carry his week's wages home to his wife on Saturday night; there is nothing fanatical in enabling her to send her children to school with good clothes, good shoes, and a good dinner in the little basket. Prohibition serves the -child as well as the man.

It is for the wife as well as the husband. It is for society as well as for the individual. It is for the government as well as the governed. In Kansas it pays the doctor his bills, the lawyer his fees, the pastor his salary. It helps the milkman, the farmer, the baker, the butcher, the grocer, the newsboy, the dentist, the bookstore, the photographer, the tailor, the dressmaker, the merchant and the manufacturer.

This is why the people of our state are so thoroughly committed to its Gov. Stubbs. The members and delegates of the State Board of Agriculture, at its recent meeting in Topeka, passed a resolution: "That we believe in the justice of equal suffrage, and commend it to the voters of Kansas." One grayhaired member voted alone in opposition. Senator La Follette in a New York speech last week said: "'The cure for the evils of democracy is more democracy. We want the referendum and recall and woman suffrage.

There are seven million women and girls in the factories and work shops of this country. Surely they should have some say on the hours of labor and factory legislation. and if anyone opposes them in their plea, they be ashamed of their action in the years to come." Weekly Market Letter Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. 6, 1912. -A fair Tuesday run of cattle came in today, and it is selling a shade stronger than the market yesterday.

The total offerings at all the markets yesterday was short and it gave the week a good start. Chicago expects 17,000 cattle tomorrow, which is not enough to take the edge off anywhere, and the indications are that this will be another sellers week. Packers complain bitterly of the prices they have to pay, not SO much on account of prime cattle as on the lower grades. Cow buyers come in for curtain lectures from packing honse managers every day because of the high cost of the stuff' and steer buyers get called down for not purchasing more prime heavy cattle. In either case the buyer is helpless as long as receipts continne short, but should opportunity offer, he has his course charted.

Eight dollars was paid again today, equalling the top of yesterday, and more than half the The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. A young man- 21 years old -can carry $1,000 insurance for the small cost of $18.56 per year. This amount is substantially reduced by annual dividends. He knows that the amount of the premium will not be increased as he grows older. The policy will also have a CASH value in case he wishes to drop it.

I will arrange it so yon can pay 1-12th of the premium monthly at the bank. 00 00 W. E. Carnahan steers sell above $7.00 this week. Feeder buyers compete with packers on half fat steers, Illinois men daring to pay up to 6.80 in the last week for steers to put on feed.

Stock steers sell at 5.00 to 6., with very few cattle under 5.00. Bulls bring 4. to 5.50, cows 4. to 5.60, heifers up to 6.50, veal calves 7.50 for best. Thirty loads quarantine cattle came in today, steers at 5.50 to 6.40, cows 3.75 to 5..

bulls 4.60 to 5.00. Today is an off day in the hog market, prices 10 lower at the close though the top, 6.35, is only 5 cents under top yesterday. Dealers say local prices are on a parity with Chicago, and shippers have been shut out of the market for some time, local packers taking the crop regularly. Run is 17,000 today, about normal for the past week or two on Tuesdays, supplies having dropped down to a lower plane than was in force during January. Bulk of sales today range from 5.90 to 6.30, light weights at 5.75 to 6.15.

More bad news was handed out to sheep and lamb feeders today; market 10 lower here, top lambs 6.50. Swift's late report from Chicago today gave the market there as 25 to 50 lower, which makes it look bad for the balance of the week. Fair to good lambs sell at 6. to 6.35, yearlings up to 5.50, wethers around 4.50, ewes 4. Commission men have quit forecasting, believing, with Balzac, that a mute prophet only is infallible.

Run here today is 17,000 head, several thousand above the early estimate. J. A. RICKART, Market Correspondent..
