SIOUX C1TV , la. , Dec. 3. The ninth nn-
nual convention ot the National Llvo Stock
exchange began hero at 3 p. ra. today. The
convention brings to Sioux City besides the
foremost representatives of the llvo stock
Industry of the laud , -the largest number of
representative railroad men ever In attend
ance upon a meeting of the national body
outside of Chicago. The National Llvo Stock
exchange la composed ot the live stock ex
changes of Chicago , Kansas City , South
Omaha , Kast St. Louis , Louisville , Kort
Worth , St. Joseph. PlttaburK and South St.
Paul , and each exchange has a full delega-
tlol with the exception ot Plltsburg. 1'rcsl-
dent W. II. Thompson , Jr. , In addressing the
convention said :
The maintenance ot the avenues of outlet ,
the foreign markets for our surplus , rests
largely with the producer. There Ma prod
uct comes In strong competition with that
ot other nations produced at times under
more favorable circumstances and much
cheaper thnn that of our own. Our success
lies lu the .quality ot our products , thereto ) c
let us never lese nn opportunity to Improve
more nnd more , the quality of our output un
til It la recognized and accorded the palm
of superiority It so Justly deserves , unequaled -
equaled by that of , any nation on earth. The
time Is fast approaching when the quality
of our productions will be the standard ol
admission to foreign markets.
It should bo'tho aim not only ot the pro
ducer , but also thosa who are Interested Iti
the exportation of llvo stock and meat food
products , to know that none but iho very
best In quality Is sent abroad.
All those Interested In llvo stock ahoulO
duly appreciate the * efforts being made b >
the secretary of agriculture to promote. nnO
Inere.isa the demand ot our dairy products
In foreign markets and the. dairymen lr
this country should show their npprocrit'cr
by keeping the standard of their jirodiint .il
such a high standard ot excellence thai mil :
doty all foreign competition at hopic line !
abroad.
Undoubtedly the beet producing Indimri
In the branch of agriculture justly claims
the most serious consideration , and It Is
ono ot more Importance to our constituent )
than any other. The market value of the
matured animals Is from M cents to $ ! . ' > (
per 100. pounds In favor of grade or matured
cattle , which fact should teacn the pro
dticpr that In order to obtain tnu bc.st price
for his feed he should tctxl It to the bettci
grade of cattlo.
RAISE BETTER OATTLU.

bo made , and which wo should recommeni
the producer to'lake In ordf > r to lucre in
the value of nls productions , , o-.vi : : Grad
ually getting riel of the common or plait
class of cattle'by crossing the breed will1
the best grades toibo obtained anil continue
this cross-breeding until we hive no'hlng lr

Prepare and nlarket your beef steer elthfi

years that the sap Is In the benf. , ind ll

the market , ho will ever be , or you cm evei

or fat that matured lifter the third yon

again , after that time , a greater quintl'.j
and heavier fted Is required. Tne heav )
cuts ot beef that'were once In demand an
fast losing their prestige , as now the sen-
cnil Inquiry and demand of thenons"iiinii !
Is for prime , young , light weighta of beef
Evidences of thlj may frequently be fccr
In the market ' .notations of cactlo soles
wherein prime yearlings arc ao'.d at th (
same price per poUnd as prime 4-year-olt
matured and finished cattle , which have
cost the producer a goodly sum per anlina
more to make.
Tn such of our constituency as deem the
"branding" of their herds a necessity , 1
would say , do not put your brand on thai
part of the hldo ot the animal which Is
valuable for leatHcr. The rump brant
means a loss to the producer of from W
cents to 73 cents per head , according : to ihe
size of the brand , while the side br.me'
depreciates the value of the hide of the ani
mal from 73 cents to $1.W per head , varying
-.vlth the extent of the brand used. The
hide and leather dealer makes these discrim
inations on branded hides when purchasing
from the slaughterer , and the slaughterer ,
of course , recoups himself by buying his
branded cattle just that much cheaper ,
therefore , the producer depreciates the value
of his animal to this extent , or In ohoi
words , pays for the prlvllego of branding his
own property.
MAHKET YOUNGER HOGS.
As an auxiliary to profitable cattle feedIng -
Ing , the pork and lard producing animal ,
commonly called the hoe. Is a nocciulty ,
The t\imo suggestions regarding early mntu-
rity nnd marketing apply with equal force
to this anlm.il as to beef cattle. Not many
years ag * > the heavy hog was In the greatest
demand by slaughterers on account of the
heavy ' uts of me.it and the largo yield ol
lard obtained , whiles today thp lighter cuts
of porlc 1 ave the preference at the hand ol
the consumer , and therefore , the slaugh
terer , wl'O Is obliged to cater to the cus
tomers , wants , must need have , the lighter
weights , nnd then again. Here has been
manufactured nnd placed on thu market
substitutes , iflhlch with many consumers
take the pluoo of lard , and at a less cost to
them , and to Eucli an extent , that for the
present at le.ist the heavy packing hog has
given way to his early matured lighter
A eight brother.
I think It proper to suggest to the
producer to gnido his hogs to the extent of
his ability. Have them ready for market
and market them aw young UH possible , not
we.t-lilng to exceed 300 pounds , or what
would 1) ? better still , aim to have them no
bred and raised that they will Jie In tine
condition and ready for market wh'n welih-
Inp from 2CO to .MO pounds. This will sub
serve his Interests In at least two ways. It
will have a tendency to reduce the stock of
lard and make It moro valuable to the
producer , and bogs marketed when of these

CANTON , 0. , Dec. 3. I'rraMcnt McKlnley
will bo In Washington for the opening of
congress next Monday whatever may bo tlio
issue of his mother's Illness. Although there
das never bean In the history of the govern
ment a case exactly similar , It Is necessary
for the president to bo at the oapltol In per-
eon for the opening of a session of congress
to receive the Joint committee from the
two houses , and that until this committee
Ims awaited upon the president and received
his communication , the regular business ol
congress cannot proceed.
Mother McKlnley Is unconscious , and the
attending physician con glvo the family nc
hope that she will ever return to conscious
ness. The president can do absolutely noth
ing for her by remaining here. In view ol
thcso facts , the president feels that It Is hi :
duty to return to Washington so as not tc
delay the opening of congress at the regulu
time. Ho has arranged to leave Canton ai
2:05 : o'clock tomorrow afternoon In the apt1
clal car provided for him attached to tin
regular Pennsylvania train , which reachei
Washington Sunday morning.
Assistant Secretary of State Day expects ( <
return to Canton early next week. Ho wll
lca\o Washington as soon as posslblo nftci
attending the functions of the opening o
congress.
DAY OP SUSPENSE.
Today was one of great suspense In thi
McKlnley home. The nearness of the mes
tcnger of death was realized every inomcn
of the day , and that there could bo no otho
than a fatal ending of the Illness with whlcl
Mother McKlnloy was stricken Thursda ;
morning. Tlio attending physician could glvi
them no hope of a different result , and 1
Is duo to the rcmarkablo constitution of tin
woman she has reached the ripe old < g
ot nearly 8S years without Illness of any con
sequence , that ho attributes the fact that th
llamo of life was not extinguished earlier.
The family mirrouudcd the bcdsldo all day
matching intently for any rally from tin
comatose condition In which the patient ha
been slnco the beginning of the Illness , nm
at short Intervals the doctor called. But th
word from the sick room was almost withou
variation , family and doctor announcing fron
time to time Increasing weakness and sink
Ing away.
Only f.vlce was this report varied by thi
anncuncement of evidence of partial con
sclousnees. The first vas when President Me
KStiley reached the sick room. His slste
Helen announced his arrival , saying : "Mother
hero Is William. If you recognize him lioli
out your hand. " The enfeebled patlen
seemed to understand and to make an effov
to extend her hand , which was Immedlatol !
grasped by the devoted son. He thought hi
felt a responsive tightening ot her hnni
about his own as he did so , but the rccog
nltlon uas so slight as to be almost Imper
captlblc .
TAKES A LILV IN HER HAND.
It was some time later that a seconc
slight rally seemed to occur. A bunch ol
beautiful flowers was sent from the con'
oervatory of the white house , and when thej
were taken Into the room she noted theli
arrival and seemed to make an effort tc
reach for one. The president quickly se
lected a beautiful white Illy ami handed II
to her. She took It In her hand and carried
It to her bosom , It 'being apparent lhat sh (
was conscious of the fact rnd appreciated
the flower. Soon after this , about noon , shf
quieted down Into a rest that seemed to be
almost a natural sleep.
Mrs. A. J. Duncan of Cleveland , who wac
summoned from Chicago , whore she- Lad been
visiting , was the last of the four llv'as
children to arrive , and she came too late tc
bo recognized by her mother. She made nc
effort on entering the room to gain recog
nition , because- was realized that the , ef
fort would not succeed , and that It would
only disturb the patient.
From th's ' time on the gradual sinking ol
Mother McKlnley continued. How long the
constitution will withstand the assault of the
disease no one can tell , but It seems that It
crcinot be- much longer. The president has
scarcely been out of the house since his ar
rival this morning , and spent most of the
day In hie mother's room. As soon as the
special train , which the Pennsyhanla road
provided from PIttsburg , with Trainmaster
J. K. Turmcr In charge , reached the Canton
( station , the president hurried to the carriage
In which Charles H. Miller , 'udge T. T. Mc
Carthy and Editor Freeze of tbo Repository
had gene to meet him , and was driven to
the house.
Only when he felt the need of a little fresh
air and exercise did ho and his brother ,
Abncr , leave the house for a short walk
alcrig the street at the side ot the house.
There have been many callers at the homo
today , aged women and friends of Mother
McKlnley being numerous among those who
called to offer sympathy. The Inquiries by
telegraph are numerous and messengers
were running to and from the- house all day.
If a radical change occurs In Mother Mr-
Klnley's condition , the doctor thinks It will
come well Into the morning.
Dr. Phillips was recalled to the McKlnley
( omo an hourt or two after his first visit to
night , when the family saw evidence of rapid
sinking la Mother'McKlnloy's ' condition. Her
pulse was very slow and weak and the ovi-
dencs of weakening more visible than over.
Ht > called .still later and found the same con
ditions. At 10 o'clock ho said she might
llvo until morning , but ho feared not.
Later , 10:10 : p. m. Mother McKlnley Is still
sinking.
Midnight showed no ma'crlnlhongc In ihc
condition of Mrs. McKinluy or the course of
the disease. It Is surely wearing her out ,
and she shows groate' weakness every hour
The president Is still In her room but will
rotlro to secure eoms rest at 1 o'clock If
there Is no material chnngo it 'hat time.
12:50 : a. m. Mia. McKlnley. though still
living , Is growing steadily weaker.
2:30 : a. m ( Mother McKlnley still alive.
No perceptible * change.
