Society ristorical This paper issued in two sections, one for Tuesday, one for Friday. Friday Section, for the week endingFriday, January 28th, 1916. Gives all the County News, Our Market Letter Kansas City Stockyards, Jan. 25, beef cattle came in todav than any day before this winter, although the total supply of cattle was moderate at 10,000 head. A few cattle sold at $8.30 to $8.50, among them a drove of steers that went out four months ago at a cost of $7.65, which were called "fleshy feeders" at that time.

A string of good Kansas fed steers sold at $7.35 to $8.15, which range might define the limits on pretty good heavy fed steers. A few droves of cattle were unsold at a late hour, being held at $8.25 to $8.75, Sales today were slow, and most of them around 10 lower. Butcher cattle find a better outlet than steers, but high costing cows ane lower today, medium cows and canners steady. Best cows sell at $6.25 to $7.00, good heifers around $7.50, choice baby heifers up to $9.00. Bulls sell at $5.75 to $6.25, veal calves $9.00 to $10.50.

Stockers and feeders are holding about steady this week, tops selling around $7.80 and bulk of the stockers at $6.50 to $7.25, and feedens at $6,75 to $7.25, choice 'White Face feeders up to $7.80, Chicago reports a sluggish beef cattle market and lower. prices, with an estimate of 18,000 cattle for Wednesday, which means further weakness there. For the moment, the beef cattle trade is in a rut, but distribution of meat is heavy and the market has immense reserve power. Hogs sold 15 to 20 higher today, receipts 16,000. Top Was $7.75, bulk of sales $7.40 to $7.75.

Figures on stocks of product in packing houses show more moderate accumulation than usual at this season, and less than has been expected, in view of large slaughtering figures. Lighter average weights and continued wide outlet explain the bullish figures on stocks of product, and also the strong tendency of live hog prices, Receipts show a tendency to decrease, although still running at a pretty high tide at the Northern markets, where heavy marketing of hogs of indifferent quality continues, Quality here is good, average weight last week 204 lbs. The Eastern killers like the hogs here, and local packers find quick market for the cut meats, hence a strong market here, only 5 to 10 cents under Chicago and St. Louis today. Sheep and lambs sold 10 lower today, receipts 10,000 head.

Order buyers took some lambs at $10.65, bulk of the lambs $10.35 to $10.55, prime ewes worth up to $7.50, yearlings yesterday to $9.40, no wethers here lately, but worth up to $8.00 or better. Feeding lambs are higher, some weighing 56 and 60 pounds at $9.75 yesterday and shearing lambs to the country today at $9.90, 65 lbs. average. Market Correspondent, J. A.

RICKART, A Sudden Death When the startling news that "Tom Poe is dead" flashed over town Monday morning 1 it was. hard for the people to believe. He attended church in Solomon Sunday morning and at midnight lay 2 corpse. The cause of his death was a hemorrhage of the brain, brought on by a violent spell of coughing. Mr.

Poe was a diligent worker, a friendly neighbor and well liked by his acquaintances. He was born at Marysville, on Oct. 16 1885. He was married to Margaret Ellen Ross, Dec. 9, 1908.

To this union two children were born, Harold, age 5, Marie, age 2. Others to mourn his loss are his father and mother, five brothers and six sisters. Mr. Poe settled near Abilene in 1906, and moved to this vicinity about a year ago. He was residing.

on Geo. W. Lank's farm south of town at the time of his death. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon in the Presbyterian church with Rev. Bartholomew in charge.

There are hopes without fruition, There is work will not be done: There are plans that lack. fulfillment, There are heights will not be Whensoe'er the summons cometh, There are words we meant to say; There are things we longed to finish Just before we went away. -The Solomon Tribune. Thos. Poe was the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Geo. Poe, who reside in the 4th ward, Lyons. Lyons LYONS, RICE KAS. Must File Insurance Rate Cards In set terms the state requires all insurance companies doing business in the state to file their rate cards, "just as the railroads and then the law pennalizes the company that deviates from that rate.

Now the only way an insurance company can comply with that law is to file a rate on every piece of property in the state. For each company to compile such a book as this at its own expense would be prohibitive of time and money. And so all the companies take the book of rates prepared by a very excellent gentleman by the name of Eldridge. Mr. Eldridge is a private citizen.

He is not a state official and is under bond to nobody. And yet, in effect the great state of Kansas says to this man: "You 90 into every city and town and hamlet in Kansas, fix the rate of insurance you think ought to be paid on each and every piece of property print it, in a book, and Kansas, will fine and imprison any insurance agent who fails to charge the price you name." Of course we are not casting any the contrary our hat is off to him. A man who can frog up a scheme like that and then get a great American commonwealth to nail it down for him commands our highest. admiration. We are only wondering what would happen to King George of England if he should undertake to exercise in the British realm the power that Mr.

Eldridge swings in Kansas. Under the guise, therefore, of rereflections on Mr. Eldridge. On quiring the insurance companies to "file. their rates" the state of Kansas actually forbids these opulent organizations to enter into competition with one another.

And at the same time the same state hales into court the few haggard and gaunt cement companies that cutthroat competition has still left alive, and because in a desperate endeavor to save something out of the wreck they may, perhaps have gone behind the barn and entered into a sort of tentative agreement upon a price for their product, it prosecutes them for high crimes and misdemeanors. Surely when the law was passed somebody must have been asleep at the switch. And by the same token somebody else must have been mighty, wide awake. -Iola Register. The measure which the National Child Labor Committee Supports is the Keating-Owen bill, similar in form to the Palmer bill, which passed the House last year.

It interstate commerce in goods in the manufacture of which child ren have been employed, and has many supporters from all parts of the country. Besides the National Child Labor Committee, the' can Medical Association, the American Federation of Labor, the Feder al Council of Churches, and other national organizations have endorsed it. The National Child Labor Committee is carrying on a special campaign in its behalf, and urges all who are interested in child welfare to write their congressmen and senators to vote for the bill. Information in regard to the bill may be obtained from the National Child Labor Committee, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City. This is the season of the year when the mail order houses put in their biggest bid for trade from the small towns.

It is a well known fact that the local merchant usually lets up on his profitable advertising after the holidays and then it is that the mail order man gets busy. Te best. way to prevent this evil is for the home merchant to make an extra effort to draw trade to his store- by' offering special inducements at this time of year. Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up. Mrs.

Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N. writes: "I first used Chamberlain's. Cough Remedy about eight years ago. At that time I had a. hard cold and coughed most.

P.

E. Jordan, Route 2, Toyons, Phone 526F21 Mr. McAdoo's Mistake "Because of the decrease of imports on account of the war we have had an enormous deficit" declared Secretary McAdoo in a recent statement. As a matter of fact the importations for the nine months ending with September 1915, were only $25,000,000 less than they were during the corresponding period in 1913, a year before the war was dreamed of. But the duties collected during the 1915 period were $94,000,000 less than during the 1913 period.

In 1913 the average rate of duty was 18.3 per cent; in 1915 the average rate was 11.3. Mr. McAdoo errs therefore, in his diagnosis, The trouble is not that. imports have fallen off but that too many of those imports come in duty free or duty too low. It is merely another illustration of the old, old story of Democratic not-know-howness, They are always talking about a "revenue tariff" and they really tried to make one; but it doesn't produce the revenue.

It doesn't protect and it doesn't fill the treasury, 1 It merely enables a lot of foreigners to come in and skim the cream off of our market without paying anything to speak of for the -Iola Register. How Booze Does Its Fighting John B. Gough was once the commonest, raggedest, lowest, dirtiest drunkard in the slums of New York City. Once, in a drunken stupor, he staggered at night into thie mean room where his wife and baby lived, and in the darkness passed -his trembling hands over their faces and found them cold in de ath They had staryed and died while he was drunk. The shock of that night, reformled him.

He went out with a fience hatred of booze in his heart, and from that day he fought it. He became the greatest temperance lecturer in. the world, going up and down this country preaching against, whiskey. And how the whiskey men hiated him. And, when once he yielded to the temptation for alcohol that always gnawed at his vitals, and became drunk again, how they hurrahed and spread the joyful tidings: "Gough's drunk But Gough struggled back and stood straight, again and went on preaching against it, with an intensified hatred in his soul against the devilish thing that pursued him And after that fall he was a stronger power against alcohol than City Star.

Smith Center, John Connel- alv. Democratic congressman fror this district, (the 6th.) and champion of Pres. Wilson' former peace policies, finds himself out on a limb, so to speak, since the president's sudden reversal of front. The fact most prominently kept in the forefront by Mr. Connelly and his lieutenants during the last campaign was that he should be re-elected because of his strong sympathy with the prestident peace program, but since the latter has declared for spending billions of the people's money for a huge war equipment, Congressman Connelly finds himself in a very embarrassing position.

It he breaks with the administration and follows Bryan into the universal peace camp, he will lose the support of most of his party politicians, while ON the other hand it is almost suicidal for him to stand as the supponter of militarism, which is being condemned out every hand by his constitutents. -Press Dispatch. The Hays City paper says "We think a man who lets his subscription get in arrears for two, three or four and then stops the paper at the postoffice by marling is a moral cowand. If you intend to stop the paper you have read for years without paying for it, be a man and come to the office and pay up all the arrears and then the editor will havre no objections in stopping it, if yo.u desire it stopped."
