SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM DISPLAY “OLD GLORY.” Although the number of private citizens who own American flags is still comparatively small, it is showing a gratifying gain from year to year. In time of peace we are but indifferent patriots; otherwise the degradation of the flag by those who use it as an alvertising medium would not be permitted. Itis not the law but public sentiment that passes final jndgement in such matters. However, within the next three weeks will come iwo days in which every owner of a flag should display it, while those who have none could make no better investment than the pur- chase of the national colors, With tomorrow will come Decoration day, in spirit the most beautiful of our holidays, shared now by the younger veterans of the war with Spain, “God’s acre” will bloom that day with the red, white and blue of patriotism, and the colors should fly above the dwellings of the living as well as above the rest- ing places of the dead. Two weeks later, on June I4, comes [Flag day, which year by year is winning more of the general observance which isits due. It wason June 14,1777, that the Continental Congress enacted “That the flag of the thirteen United States be thir- teen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white, in a blue field, rep- resenting a new constellation.” With the admission of new states new stripes were added, until the Congress -of 1818 Testored the flag to its original thirteen stripes by enacting “That the flag of the United States be thir- teen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be twenty stars, white in a blue ficld, and that on tho admission of a new state into the Union, one star be added to the Union of the flag; and such addition take effect on the fourth day of July next succeeding such ad- mission.” The story of the na- tion’s growth is told by the forty- five stars which now gleam in the field of blue. Enforced patriotism is a mock- ery, but the proper observance of Flag day, as urged by the American Flag Association, is an admirable idea. And let us hope that the banners flung from . ur public buildings and private residences will be whole and clean, not telling by their torn and bedraggled folds of indiffer- ence and contempt. Was the Captain’s Fault. Hamburg, May 2 .—The admiralty court has decided that the wreck of the Hamburg-American line steamer Prinzessin Victoria Luise near King: ston, Jamalca, Dec. 16 last, was due to Captain Brunswig's mistaking ona light for another and maintaining full steam at a time when he should not have done so.

SHIPMENTS CUT OFF Comntission Men Object to Latest Rule of the Packers. ADVANCE IN MEATS LIKELY Live Stock Dealers at Chicago Notify Their Customers Not to Forward Any Cattle Until the Difficulty With the Beef Trust Is Adjusted. Chicago, May 2 .—DMeat prices in Chicago may jump skyward this week unless the “beef trust” recedes from its recently announced intention to de- lay payment on certain of its live stock purchases until they have passed the government postmortem examina- tion. . The packers notified the commission firms that they no longer would stand the loss on condemned cattle and in order to protect themselves they had found it necessary to refuse payment, on “cow stuff” until it has passed the government inspection. During the latter part of last week thousands of letters and telegrams were sent out by the commission men to their customers, notifying them of the action that had been taken by the packers and advising them to withhold all shipments of cattle to the big mar- kets controlled by the trust until the diffienlty is adjnsted. This is expected to cut the meat supply tremendously before the week is over and prices are expected to go up correspondingly. Commission men declare it is the intention of the packers to enforce the rule with regard to “cow stuff” now in the hope that similar action may be taken later with reference to their purchases of sheep and hogs. Some of the leading commission firms and shippers have communi- cated with the secretary of agriculture at Washington with regard to the new action on the part of the packers and it is said assurances have been given that any attempts to delay payments on live stock, as threatened by the packers, would result in the with- drawal of the inspection service. RESULT OF A CONSPIRACY President of United Railroads Dis cusses Indictments, San Francisco, -May 2 '—Patrick Calhoun has issued a lengthy state- ment addressed to the American peo- ple in which he says the returning of indictments against himself and asso- ciates 1is another step in the pro- gramme to gain political control of this city by Rudolph Spreckels and sthers for selfish purposes through a tombination with the Labor Union party. Mr. Calhoun says: “The evidence is now complete that self-confessed criminals have been re- tained on the board of supervisors to do the bidding of Spreckels and his fellows. In the language of one of the prosecutors they are ‘merely good dogs.” Their evidence has been pur- chased and their services secured through immunity contracts. “I charge that the motives of Mr. Spreckels and his associates are base and malicious; that his plans are self- ish and injurious to the welfare of this community; that they seek through the assassination of character to injure the United Railroads and further their own financial plans and that inspired strikes, violence, de- struction of property, boycotts and these indictments are each a'part of Spreckels’ plans to confiscate the property of the United Railroads, to replace our street rallroads by lines owned by Spreckels and to that end to control the politics of San Fran- cisco. I would be surprised that any body of American citizens could be Induced to find these indictments if I did not know the methods which have been pursued by Spreckels’ corps of hired detectives and his constant ac- cess to the members of the grand jury, who have been misled by his profes- sions of virtue.” Result of an Old Fer Towa City, Ia, May &z .—Elmer Pratt, a prominent young farmer of Johnson county, shot and killed W.

Brownsville Police Unnecessarily Se- vere With Negro Soldiers. ‘Washington, May 2+.—Captain Will- fom Kelley, who was chairman of the cltizens’ committee which began an investigation of the Brownsville aftray- on the day following the shooting, was A witness before the senate committee on military affairs.

ANOTHER. SPECIAL VENIRE Adjournment Again Necessary In the Haywood Trial. Boise, Ida., May 2 .—Five of the tew remaining talesmen of the- spe- cial venire in the Steunenberg murder case were in order disqualified when the trial was resumed during the morn- ing. Three of them were opposed to capital punishment, one was against hanging a man on circumstantial evi- dence and the other had an irremova- ble opinion. The sixth talesman, Harmon Cox, a veteran of the Civil war, a pioneer of the gold rushes of the sixties and now retired from farming, his last occupa- tion, consumed nearly all of the morn- ing session and involved Clarence Dar- row, for the defense, and Senator Borah in a series of amusing quarrels. The talesman seemed slow of thought and after the state had passed him for cause the defense promptly started out to disqualify him. Senator Borah kept up a fire of objections and op- posed the repeated challenges of the defense. Mr. Darrow openly charged that the talesman was incompetent to try a man for his life and asserted that the state itself could not want him on the Jury, Mr. Darrow and Senator Borah stood up before the jury and fenced through the examination, which ran all the shades of opinion and impres- sion as to all the material facts so far developed in the case. The defense finally passed Cox. The remaining talesmen of the sec- ond special panel will be examined during the day and there must be an adjournment for another special venire. DEATH OF MRS.
