Concerning- Man who Made Good
William A. Margrave whose
death was recorded in this paper
last week was one of Richardson
county's remarkable men. By
most people it was supposed that
he lived in Brown county , Kans. ,
but such was not the case. For
several years his residence was
just a little north of the state line
in Kichardson county.
Mr. Margrave possessed some
of the attributes of greatness.
His was a strong rugged charac
ter that overcame obstacles and
never repined at hardship. I
think I never knew a more coura
geous man than he , nor one in
whose judgment I had more con
fidence. He was maligned by
some , for jealousy is the tribute
paid by mediocrity to ability.
But in the years I have known
him I never knew him to take an
unfair advantage of anyone. He
despised a cheat and a liar with
all the hatred that a big man has
for little things. He believed all
of his business associates to be
honest and would not have their
integrity questioned. If , how
ever , a man deceived him , he at
once severed all relations with
him and under no circumstances
would resume them. lie always
put it up to the man to prove his
worth and determined the issue
upon what the man did and not
what gossips might say.
* *
*
Mr. Margrave was born in
Peoria , Illinois , 61 years ago.
He moved to this country with
his parents early in life and spent
his boyhood on the bottoms near
Salem and near Troy , Kansas.
His ambition was manifest in
early life. The chief articles in
his creed were to keep all busi
ness obligations sacred and never
to believe ill of a man until the
man had proved the charge by
his own conduct. He worked
for Anderson Miller as a farm
hand for $15 a month , and worked
with Stephen Prior , the drayman ,
for a long time for the same
remuneration. He was always a
strictly sober man and had an
abhorence of liquor. A gentle
man who is worth his thousands
told me the day of the funeral
that at one time Margrave came
to him when he needed the ad
vise of a friend and in a kindly
way remonstrated with him for
drinking too much. Through
that conversation and the encour
agement that followed this man
had ceased drinking. Notwith
standing the day of the funeral
was hot and dusty and the place of
the funeral was many miles from
the home of my informant , his
whole family was there to pay
their respects to this quiet , unas
suming gentleman who had done
so much for them.
* *
#
An instance of the way the
deceased regarded a business ob
ligation was told me by another
gentleman. During the panic of
1893 Mr. Margrave owed the in
stitution with which the relater
was connected many thousands
of dollars , for one who does bus
iness on the large scale that he
did necessarily has indebtedness.
He went to those from whom he
had borrowed the money and
said , "things are getting a little
tight and while I will have to
sell my livestock at withering
prices to pay what I owe you ,
still when 3'ou feel that you want
your money , let me know. " A
short time after that they sent
for Margrave and said , "we have
a number of small borrowers
whose loans we can call but it
will hurt them worse than it will
you and we must have a part of
the money from you. " Without
a word of complaint , without
getting angry as a smaller man
would have done , he went to the
depot and began telegraphing for
cars. In a few days he was ship
ping stock by the wholesale , sel
ling it for prices that lost him
thousands of dollars , but he paid
his obligations in full within
three weeks. "That , " said my
informant , "put the credit of Mr.
Margrave on a foundation from
which nothing could displace it. "
An instance of his business judg
ment and courage is connected
with the same transaction ,
Shortly after selling his stuff he
concluded that the panic was
about over and that cattle were
at the lowest possible price.
Notwithstanding everybody was
frightened and holding on to his
money like grim death , Margrave
borrowed an immense sum of
money , bought cattle , fed them
as the price soared and the panic
disappeared , and in the end made
twice as much as he had sacri
ficed to keep his credit good.
* *
*
In early life Margrave married
an Indian girl at the mission
school and a more beautiful char
acter1 is hard to find than Mrs.
Margrave. The four children
have been reared with the utmost
care. They have been splendidly
educated. The home is filled
with good books , magazines and
daily papers , for all of the fam
ily are great readers of the best
literature. Those who know and
are capable of judging say that
the home life of this family has
been ideal. No man , no matter
what his color , has ever been
turned from this house hungry.
The writer knows of his own
knowledge of many poor families
who have been almost supported
for years by the dead man and
his good wife. These are the
things of which he never spoke.
If you learned it at all it would
come to you through some other
source , never through those
whose charity was so abundant.
# *
*
For a year or so trouble had
been casting its shadow over Mr.
Margrave , trouble for which he
was in no wise responsible. He
was meeting it with a courage
that at times astounded me.
Fortunately the misunderstand
ing was cleared up a few months
ago and that which he dreaded
but did not fear was removed for
ever. He came to Falls City a
week ago last Saturday to close
the matter up. After the last
tangled end was tied and the in
cident closed he said to me , "we
have both worked pretty hard on
this thing and we ought to
take a rest. ' ' So we determined
to go out to his ranch in the
west on September 1st and hunt
chickens. He was to take his
little grandson and I was to take
my little boy. Nearly all of the
afternoon we talked and laid our
plans. Down at the school house
corner a visitor was awaiting
him as he talked , but death is
always patient and bides his
time , and death waited to keep
this appointment even as it
awaits upon you and me. The
last time I saw him was as he
waved his hand to me as he drove
towards eternit } ' , and so driving
he passed out of my life.
I am glad that I knew William
A. Margrave , a man who made
good. He taught me many
thing all of which were of good
report. He was one of the
strongest man I have known. His
greatest accomplishment was
not the broad fields and count
less herds he left surviving him ,
rather was it the many charities
of which the world knew nothing ;
rather was it the sincerity of his
nature , his belief in his lellow
man. Those who knew him best
are his true mourners for they
knew him as he was.
His unexpected and seemingly
untimely death , calls to my mind
the following verses which have
been going the rounds of the
press.
IP WE HAD HUT A DAY.
We should nil the hours with the
sweetest things ,
If we had but u day ;
We should drink alone at the purest
sprinca
In our upward way ;
We should love with a lifetime's love
In an hour.
If the hours were few ;
We should rest , not for dreams , but
for fresher power
To bo and to do.
We should guide our wayward or
wearied wills
By the clearest light ;
We should keep our eyes on the
heavenly hllla ,
If they la.v In blirht :
Wo should trample the pride and the
discontent
Beneath our feet ;
We should take whatever a good God
sent ,
With a trust complete.
We should waste no moments : n weak
rejrret ,
If the day were but one ;
If what wo remember and what we
forget
Went out with the sun ;
We should bo from our clamorous
selves Set free ,
To work or to pray ,
And to be what the Father would
have us be ,
If we bad but a day.
A Tcnnal Beatitude.
Blessed be neighbors , for they
shall take care of thy children
when thoit art busy ; they .shall
bring in their choice recipes for
preserves and jam ; they shall tell
thee when thy horse is in some
one's com before the owner of
the Held discovereth it ; they shall
invite thce to their cyclone cellar
in time of storm ; they shall lend
thec of their dishes and furni
ture in time of visitors ; they
shall be on hand to help thcc in
time of the visitation of the
stork ; they shall care for thee in
time of sickness and they shall
give thce to eat from the choice
viands of their table. Remember
that beatitude and lend not thy
hand to Satan who dclighteth in
a neighborhood row. Ralph

Market Letter.
Stockyards , Kansas City , Mo. ,
Aug. 0 , I'.IOO. ' Notwithstanding a
doerense of 10,000 entile lust week ,
us compared with the wool ; be
fore , the market miule only the
nominal gain of 5 to 10 coutH.
Trade closed the week dull at
that , but with a better eler.raneo
than at at the end of the previous
week , mel killers also killed up
closer , and therefore more likely
to trade actively this week. The
trouble with the market Is thu
early appewranced of unusual
numbers of rangers at the North
ern markets. They are also extra
good ciuality 1200 to MOO pounds ,
and come in competition with medium -
dium to good natives. Of course ,
this is a weakening influence here ,
although we got none of them.
1'he supply today at all points is
moderate , 11.000 head here , and
the situation is stronger all round.
Market is strong to 10 higher.
Rains in the last day or two over
certain dry districts have helped
to keep down the supply today ,
by reviving the pastures therein.
The same inIInonce IPIS boon at
work during a week or more in
strengthening the demand for
country grades of cattle. Supply
of this class is still small , however ,
as branded cattle are scarce yet.
Dry lot cattle are scarcer each
week , a few last week at $0 to
$0.10 , balance of the dry lot cattle
at $5.155 to $5.00 , top t o d a y
$5..K ) , heavy steers showing
grass $5 to $5.40 , straight
grass steers $ -1.25 to $5 for I ho
weighty kinds , light steers $15.25
to-l , medium to choce heifers $1
to $5.25 , cows $2.50 to $ , ' 5.75 main
ly , bulls $2.15 to $3.50 , canners
$1.00 to $2.25 , veals $3.75 to $5 50
stackers $2.25 to $15.75 , feeders
$ : { . < 10 to $1.35 , stock cows and
heifers $1.90 to $2.85.
Hog receipts exceeded (50,000 (
head last week , large run said to
bo due partly to many contract
hogs being delivered at the end
of July , besides the usual rush to
market when a break occurs.
Prices closed Saturday 10 cents
above the lowest time , but 20 eta.
below previous Saturday. Run
is 7000 head today , with good
light hogs , 190 to 180 pounds,9ell-
ing at $0.35 to $0.-10 , price gradu
ally lessening as weight increases
or quality deteriorates down to
$0.20 for medium to common
packing or heavy weights. The
supply last week was double that
of corresponding week a year ago ,
during which week prices advanc
ed 35 cents. Present prices are
only 40 cents above a year ago.
Sheep supply was small last
week at 18,000 head and there
was little net change in values.
Markets were called strong each
day , but the week closed in about
the same notch. Supply today is
1000 head , market steady , spring
lambs selling ut $0.85 to $7.50 ,
yearlings $5 25 to $5.75 , wethers
$ -1.25 to $5 25 , ewes for slaughter
$ -1.00 to $5 , breeding ewes $4.50
to $5.25 , feeding wethers $1,00 to
$1.85 , feeding lambs $5.50 to$0.
