further prohibition.
She took great pleasure in church
work and in the social life of the
town; and iter home war. the scene
of many pleasures that will remain as
bright spots in the memory of her

Hers lias been an active and useful
life. She enjoyed travel and when
well advanced in years would take
long journies to different parts of the
country usually taking with her some
one to whom she telt that such a
trip would be a benifit and a pleas,
u re.
She will be generally mourned and
sadly missed by ahost of loyal friends
who recognized and loved her for her
many splendid qualities.
Lucretia Theodosia Crane was born
November 10, 1825 at Aurora, N. Y
of New England parentage, her fath.
er Daniel Crane being a New Eng
lander of the old school. In an ear.
l.v day they moved to Indiana where
on March 17 1852 she was married
to Anderson Miller. The same year
they moved to Missouri and in March
1859 they came to what was then the
village of Falls City and this has con
tinued to be their home, residing
all these years upon the old home
stead.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were the par
ents of six children, two died in in

Catitt died many years ago. Mrs. \V.

mourn the death of a devoted and
loving wife and mother.
She was exceptionally near and
dear to her grandchildren who will
miss her greatly.
The burial services were held at
was expected, in view of tile en
couragement offered last week. Yes
terday was stormy all over the west.,
a condition against heavy loading in
the country, and the run today is
probably less than it might have been
had the weather remained good All
the markets have light runs, and the
market here is strong to 15 higher.
The cold snap puts ginger into the
demand, and unless there is a bigger
run later in the week than it looks
like today, further gains in price may
be recorded. The feeling in the conn
try is better titan any time before in
tlift last two months, and it is believ
ed that most of the late gains, and
whatever may be made now, will stic
for a little while, anyway. Best steers
sold at 6.30, but there were several
lots at that price, and bulk of the
steers sold at 5.60 to 6.25. Prime
offerings would go up around 6.50.
• 'uws sell at 3.50 to 5.10 today, best
heifers up to 6.00, veals tit ti.no to
8.50, hulls 4.00 to 5.00,. stockers 4 2*'
to 5.40., feeders 4 75 to 5.55.
Hog markets have been running &
long pretty even for a week or two,
violent ehang< s having disappeared
almost entirely lately, and the mar
ket is on a more reliable basis. The
strength lias dominated the situation
for a week or more advance last wee
about 10 cents, and the market is 5
higher today. The late market was
the best today, medium weight hogs
up to 7.93, heavies up to 7-90, lights
7.85 bulk of sales at 7-80 and upwards
