matters pertaining TO the OleOmargarine in

were unanimously adopted declaring thai
the wholesale dealers license of $3.50 and
the retail dealers of SIS were exOrbitant
and fOstered a monopoly discriminating iE
favor of large manufacturers and dealers
and against the small ones; that the tax of
2 cents per pound On oleomargarine met all
the requirements and objects of the law
and fully protected the agricultural classes;
and that the manufacture of OleOmarga-
rine enhances the value of cattle
from So to 81 and hogs from 12 to Is
cents per head. All friends of the cattle
interest were urged to memorabilia Congress
for reduction Of the special licenses and
for a repeal of all the obnoxious prohibit

was drafted and signed by all the commits

and several hundred citizens, setting forth
the Objectionable features of the Oeomar.

had, especially in aiding the large manu-.

as well as the throwing out of employment,
of several thousand men, and particularly
praying that the special licenses should be
reduced.

FATAL. COLLISION.

Collision on the Missouri Pacific, Resulting
in the Fatal I'M uring of Two Postal
Clerks.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. pa collision
resulting in the loss Of two lives, took
place soon after six O'Clock this morning
about three and three quarter miles east of
Greenwood on the Missouri Pacific railroad.
The trains in collision were passenger No.
3, coming west, which was due i'm this city
at 1880, and freight train going east; and
the disaster was the result of a mistake of
the train dispatcher at Greenwood. While
turning an awkward curve, the
tngines crashed together, and both
eff them were derailed. The
tain men escaped by jumping from
their engines when they saw that a COLI
S on was inevitable. But the crew of the
postal car could not thus save themselves,
and two of their number were killed. There
were nine of them at work in the car when
it was teleScOped, and it is marvel that
any of them should have escaped in jury, as
the car was completely wrecked. One of
the clerks named MagOf1in, who has for
several years lived at Independence,
was instantly killed. He was worked
at the end of the car nearest
the tender and was evidently struck Oh the
head or thrown violently to the ground
when the collision occurred. He was dead
when taken from the wreck, F. Ii. Beebe,
the head postal clerk, who resides at Wyan-
dOtte. when taken out from among the
debris was found to have been frightfully
scalded, and no hope is entertained of his
recovery, although he was still alive at last
accounts. o. p. Miller, another Of the
clerks, was also injured, but not seriously.
Later reports are that Bccbe, although lie
may lose leg, is not fatally injured.
