PP ateety The Fight Against the Trusts. Witha preliminary victory against the Beef Trust scored in New York and Missouri in ce of similar im- port,t souragement for a belief that conclusive results in the direction of a restriction of the trust evil may eventually be reached through the courts In the Missouri case the ruling of re is renew TWO DROWNED NEAR SALINA The Fiancee of One Flood Victim Had Just Arrived From Wisconsin Salina, Kas., June 6.—The waters of the smoky Hill river and other streams near here are still rising and considerable damage has been done to crops, bridges and buildings. Two so signal a setback for the combine _ that the case may now be carried to the Federal Supreme Court by tie defendant packing companies. In the New York case the Beef Trust is enjoined from carrying on business iv-vielation of the provisions of the Donnelly anti-trust law, The situa tion now existing in each State is such as to give an advantage to the people as aginst the combine These new developments, consider- edin conjunction with the fact that the F moving al Government is itself inst the Beef Trust mean that the when anti-trust laws are to be hon- estly and rigidly epforced and great consolidated corporations compelled | to respect those laws. A vietory to this extent, however, has not yet| been won, Beyond all question, the Beef Trust will tight to the bitterend to prevent enforcement of the laws, All that is possible to money and political influence will be brought to bear in the trust's behalf. The full power of Trustdom will also beexert- ed for final trust victory in what is regarded as a critical test case. Very able and skillful lawyers are doing their best to win the fight for the trusts. , No matter how the legal conflict between the people and the trvsts may terminate, the public mind is set upon an ultimate achievement that shall free consumers and retail deal ersfrom the oppression of monopoly, | It may be that this can be arco . may time is now come people themselves at the polls. The Republican party is in power in the Government, and the Republican party is controlled by the trusts. If the latter are now too strongly en- trenched the people must remove the Republican_party. from power, and place in control of the Government that party which has always oppos- ed the tariff and all other forms of special privilege that have created and fostered the trusts, This party is the Democratic party, and on the anti-trust and anti-tariff issue and on its consistent record of opposi- tion to the trusts and to a high pro- tective tariff the Democratic party should receive an overwhelming pop- ular vote when the issue comes to a settlement.—Republic. iene Gives Packers Three Days. Jefferson City, Mo., June 5.—After overuling the motion of the beef packers to quash the writ of ouster asked for by Attorney General Crow, the Supreme Court to-day gave the attorneys for the packers three days in which to file their return to the proceeding instituted by the State This action of the court was a sur- prise to the packers and a vietory for Attorney General Crow, who con- tended that the return: should be fil The packers had pre- viously saved their exceptions to ed at once, about ten miles from Sulina. One, W. R. MeDowell, is the son of the Rev. L. MeDowell of this town. He; was attempting to cross on horse back when the horse fell and threw him. Heclungto a bush while aj friend on theshore threw him a strap but in eatching hold McDowell jerk- ed it from his reseuer’s hands and was swept awry by the floods. The, other man was Joseph Bass of Madi- | son, Wis. He waserossing in a boat with a small girl and had reached What he thought was the bank and | jumped out to pull the boat to shore | but went into about fifteen fret of | water, He caught at the boat and, doing so overturned it, throwing the | little girl out. She caught the boat, und was resefed by her father, Mr. Bass’s fiancee, Miss Minnie Sul- livan, arrived yesterday from Wis-| consin and their marriage was to; have taken place soon. The Ohio Republican Platform. Boston Herald. The platform adopted by the Ohio Republicans in convention yesterday isa better performance as a “key- note” than that made by Senator Beveridge for the Indian Republicans afew weeks ago. It has some ring to it. Perverse and foolish in sever- al particulars it may be. but it isnot qualified and conditioned to inanity. Ir is possible to understand what it signifies on the first reading. There is not a breath of reform about it. There are no evils to be corrected, no wrongs to be undone, only the Demo- cratic party to becondemned. What- ever the Republican party has done is right, and must be perpetuated. “Charlie Grosvenor says as much in his speech, and his speech and the platform are at one in lordly conceit of wisdom, virtue and patriotism, The protective tariff forever! Amer- ican rule of the Philippines forever! This is the programme of Ohio Re- publicanism this year. TheSherman law, which has not prevented the formation of a single trust, is glori- fied as the Republican protest against trusts, The keynote of the perfurm- ance is audacity. Another Shot at the Arlington Speech. Washington June 6.—Mr. Richard- son, of Alabama, in the course of some remarks, caustically criticised President Roosevelt's Memorial day oration at Arlington. He recalled the visit of the late President MeKin- ley to Huntsville, Ala, a year ago, and the reception given him by the Confederate and Union veterans, The The noble sentiments Mr. MeKinley uttered upon that occasion. Mr. Richardson said, endeared him to the South, and he told of the great sor- row felt there when Mr. MeKinley fell at Buffalo. Reluctant as he was to do so, Mr. Richardson said he felt it ; F 4 é i 5 June 18,and were fighting for further timeto file their return, and were not prepared for the short time given them to-day. This will bring the matter up on June 8 for heaging. In the case of the Schwartzsehild & Sulzberger Company, the order of ouster Was set aside to-day and this eompany will stand with the remain- ing companies on the return. Their Positions on Trusts. South Bend, Ind., June 5 —The National Grange Patrons of Hus- bandry, through National Master Aaron Jones, has issued a proclama- tion calling upon all men who seek power by trying to be elected to con- gress, the state legislature and execu- tives of the state and nation to define their positions on trusts. President Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox are commended for bringing suit against the Leef trust and pre- venting the merging of the Great Northern and Northern Pacifie. A demand is wade that suits be iusti- tuted against the steel, cual, sugar and oil trusts. A Negro Was Shot to Death. Town Creek, Va., June 6 —Wiley Guaun, a negro, was the victim of a mob to-day. After assaulting the 12-year-old daughter of Frankhn Green, who resides in this commun- ity, Guann endeavored to esvape, but was surrounded by a posse. The negro was quickly shot to death. Bryan on Hanna's Boom Lincoln, Neb , June 6—A contest between the President and Senator Hanna for the Republican nomina- tion in 1904 is predicted by William J. Bryan. In the Commoner to-day Bryan discourses as follows: “The incidents at the Ohio Repub- the same ‘price for thirty-two grade liean convention indicate very clear- ly that there is a strong determina-_ the State Supreme Court constitutes jjen were drowned to-day at Kipp, New Record Price For Cattle. New records were made on prices paid for dressed beef steers at the} stock yards yesterday. A. Hirsch, of | Formosa, Kan., received $7.60 for 1,342 sixty-five cattle averaging pounds, and Peter Tribble was paid Shorthorns and Herefords, averag- ing 1,304 pounds. There hasalwavs Hanna shall become the Republican candidate for President in 1904. Some of the Republican papers that are not friendly to Mr. Hanna lay great emphasis on the fact that the convention in its platform indorsed the administration of Mr. Roosevelt. There is no significance whatever in this fact The convention did not dare to adjourn without indorsing the national administration, but the feeders of Kansas and Missouri over which state had the honor of holding , the best record paid for cattle on the Kansas City market. Yesterday’s | Sales gave the honor to feeders of , both states. High prices were paid yesterday for | numerous other bunches ef cattle. ,J. M. Rose, of Frankfort, Kan, re- ceived $7,574 for a string weighing 1 290 pounds apiece, und there were fact remains that there was a very jagood many other bunches selling strong sentiment for Mr Hanna's nomination in 1904. Every man who gives intelligent observation to the political situation must under- stand that, judging from the situa- tion to-day, the contest for the Re- publican nomination in 1904 will be between Theodore Rvoseyelt and Mark Hanna; and it is not too much to say that despite the prejudice and the predilections of Senator Foraker, Ohio will take the lead in the Hanna boom.” Are the Boers Subdued? Captain Ollie Henry, an American, who fought in the Boer army in South Africa, is in the city to-day on | his way to Newton, Kas., where he will deliver a lecture. Captain Henry went to South Africa_in 1895 from Hawaii, where he took part ina revo- lution. “I believe there will be another war inSouth Africa,” said Captain Henry thismorning. ‘‘The Boers will retain their guns, their farms will be re- stocked, and they will receive 15 gard the terms of peace as a victory for the Boers. All the British secur- ed was an agreement that the Boers will recognize King Edward as their sovereign, There will be anindepenc- ent government in South Africa, I think there will be another war and that England will be driven out of the Transvaal.” , A prohibitive tariff, levying a bur- densome tax on the American people created the trusts, the more power- ful and malign of which arenow prey- ing upon the people by virtue of the monopolies which they enjoy through the operation of the tariff. This bald truth of the situation is now being borne in on the popular mind, and the result is a deep rooted determination for relief. The high protective tariff must go, The trusts will go with the tariff, under whieh alone can they maintain monopolies that compel American consumers to pay more for American products than those same products are sold for in European markets. The tariff and the trusts will be the issue of the congressional eampaign of 1902 and 1904, On this issue the party of the trusts and tariff will be removed from power in the government.—St. Louis Republic. Ruling a Husband. Torule your husband, my dear duty to contrast Mr. Me Kinley’s sentiments at Huntsville with Mr., Roosevelt’s remarks at Arlington, May 30. To Develop Swamp Lands. Cape Girardeau, Mo, June 5 —B. F. Davis, of this city, and-W. L. Cooper, a solicitor of London, Eng , have completed arrangements for organizing three London companies for developing the Alt estate, consist- ing of 20,000 acres of swamp land in this county. One ofthe three com- panies'is to develop the mineral and oil prospects, while the others will drain and cultivate the ‘lands. As soon as a few more of the prelimi- naries are completed the companies will be chartered by the state. Lon- don capitulists have just finished a thorough examination of the lands, and they are convinced of the great value and future prospects of these undevelo;.ed lands. Pays Cash For a Mine. Joplin, Me., June 4.—A $60,000 mining deal was made yesterday in which J. Frank Allen, of Webb City, paid that amount for the Gussie K.~ zine mine and lease. The property consists of twenty acres of rich min- eral land located three miles south of Webb City. There are two shafts sunk @y the property, ‘but there are no mills, as they were swept away by the late cyclone.

The woman who believes that she is asserting her independence every time she puts on a hat partic- ularly displeasing to her husband is asclever and as intelligent as the Irishman who buys a return ticket at a railroad office, and, on entering the car, remarks to the passengers, “Ihave played a good joke on the company; I have bought a return ticket, but I don’t mean to come back.”—Max O’sell in Baltimore News. Cloudburst at Courtland. St. Joseph, Mo., June 5.—A cloud- burst to-night destroyed the greater part of Courtland, Neb., @ small town near Beatrice. Seven inches of water fell. Fields are devastated. It is-impossible to tell whether any lives have been lost. Several build- ings have been wrecked by the storm and it is feared a number of persons are killed. Every effort is being made to get communication with the village. It is believed crops in that section have been practically ruined by the cloudburst A heavy rain fell in other parts of the county and in places the damage is very great. 4 jat from $7 to $7.50 per hondred pounds While the best cattle were prime quality and well fattened, they were not exactly fancy steers, and the buyers said that better ones would have sold as high as $7.75 if they had been on the market. Mr. Hirsch was well pleased with , his sale and the profits made on his investment. When corn was low priced he bought a large quantity for twenty-five cents a bushel. He had fed his cattle on this low priced corn since November, and during that time corn was selling at anaver- age price of sixty-five cents a bushel. He stated that the cattle would have made him a good profit, even if he had been obliged to fatten them on sixty-five cent corn, Convict Makes an Offer. Jefierson City, Mo., June 5.—Chas. Williams, colored, sent to the peni- tentiary from St. Louis in 1897, and received at the prison July 11 ofthat Year, was given a lifesentence. The crime of which he was convicted was vurglary in the firat degree and at- tempted larceny. He has charge of the big round gate through which persons are admitted into the prison yard. To-day he sent the governor a letter asking for a pardon, in which he raid: “Tam a much older mau than you are, governor, and it stands to rea- son that I will pass over on the oth- er aide sooner than vou, and Lexpect to have the same position in the oth- er world, except to be on the other side of the fence, that is, assistant gatekeeper to St. Peter, and pass him the keys, and when you come along I will be sure to tell St. Peter how good you were tq me on earth, and he will immediately pass you in. Think it over, governor, and act promptly, as my days on earth are but few.” The governor says that were “Chance,” the name by which the negro is familiarly known, so situat- ed as to give an acceptable guar- anteethat his influence with St. Peter would be sufficiently great to make good his pledge, there would be no delay in the granting of the pardomr for which he asks.
