The Annual Review shows Decline frcm
Last Season.
CINCINNATI, March 27.-The annual re-
port of pork packing in the West, compiled
by Charles B. Murray, editor of the Prics
Current, will be published to-day. II
shows the entire winter packing to be 5,4O2,-
O64 hogs against 6,132, 212 last year. The
average weight was 251.44 pounds, a de
crease of 1888 pounds compared with last
year. The decrease in lard per hog is
2.1S pounds. The pork production
shows 273,S5S pounds less than last
year. Stocks of meat i'll the Yves:
including barreled pork were 113,OO0
pounds less than year ago. Ex-
ports since November 1 are 1900, 900
pounds less than year ago, and AS, OOO,-
600 pounds less than for the average of
seven previous years. 1t is reported that
the outlook for hog supplies indicates about
fifteen per cent shortage for the summer.

impossible that there may be falling on
of 500, 900 pounds, but thinks there is more
likely to be much less. The total packing
for the twelve months ended March 1, Was
9.1S3. 100 hogs, against ,3i2, 999 the prectd-
ing wear.

1t is with profound regret that we are
called upon to chronicle the death of
Willie Powell, who departed this life at
an early hour Tuesday at the resi-
dence of his father, Rev. Zlccheus Pow
ell, residing six miles northwest of the
city, at the age of 17years. The deceased
had been afflicted for some weeks
with inflammatorY rheumatism, which
flnally went to the heart, and thus ter
minated his life at the very Threshold
of useful and successful career. The
young man who has thus been called
away from the activities for which he
was so we'll equipped was brother OF
Mrs. A. w. Stubbs, and was the object
of many fond hopes aud bright expecta-
tions. He added to a wtll-stored mind
the sterling worth OF Christian char
acter and the loss which his family has
sustained entities them to the warmesl
sympathy of their friends.
Mr. Powell was born in Cayuga coun
~. New York, and came To Kansas in
1881 He attended school at the Nor
NAL for two years and was greatly be
loved by all the students of that institu
ton The funeral Will take place to
morrow from the family residence at
