What the Sugar Trust Costs You.


Assuming that a cent per pound has been ths
profit on this business, what does this imply %
the ordinary citizen? The average household
in the United States is made up OF i've persons
who, on the basis we have given above, con.
sumo in year $50 pounds of sugar. OF, In other
words, the head of the average household has
been compelled to pay during the last year, by
the exactions OF the trust $3.50 more for a nee
essary article of food than would otherwise
have been demanded. To the wealthy this is
but a small contribution, but unfortunately,
this tax Of monopoly does not fail in proper
ton to wealth. The family of the poor man
eats almost as much sugar as the family oil the
rich man, and 10 one who is earning but Sl.5o
or 81 a day. and who finds that he is compelled
in the course Of twelve months 10 undergo

ends meet at the end of the year, the imposi-
ton of needless tax of s.. 50 merely 20 paw an

A Boston Man Attempts to Kill His Wife
and Then Suicides
BosToN, July 13.-This afternoon DR..
W B. White, medical electrician, seventy
five years OF age, residing at Jefferson
place, shot his wife, Ellen, an attractive
young woman of about twenty-five years
Of age, and then committed suicide. Dr.
White had been married twice. BY his
first wife be had several children, who
are all grown up and doing well. Some
two years ago his first wife died and he
married his present wife, who
was then, it is said, ballet
dancer and a very pretty girl. OF late the
couple have not lived happily together,
the doctor becoming imbued with the idea
that his wife loved some other man.
While both were eating dinner to-day
the doctor got up from the table with the
exclamation, ELLA, you don't love me"
She made no reply, and he LETT the room.
After Mrs. White had finished her dinner
sne went up to her room on the second
floor and began 10 change her apparel.
Only a few minutes had elapsed when
the servant girl heard a pistol shot,
closely followed by another. Going
up stairs, she saw Mrs. White lying on
the floor with blood flowing from wound
IN her right temple. DR.. White himself
was lying on the lounge dead, with a
woundin his right ear. In his left hand a
revolver was clutched. The girl, greatly
terrified, rushed screaming down stairs,
and out on the street. Several physicians
soon arrived. They are Of the opinion
that DR.. White was instantly killed His
wife Will probably recover. The house
where the tragedy occurred was owned by
DIR. White. and had been occupied by him
for twenty-five years. He was a very

IoxIA, Mich, July 13.-This usually
peaceful town was disturbed by two hor-
rible tragedies yesterday-one in the in

stauiey's usual working-place, and
viciously stabbed the man standing there
in the back. 1t was not Stanley, how
ever. A desperate struggle ensued be-
tween the wounded man and bis assail-
ant. The noise Of the struggle attracted a
crowd of convicts and several keepers,
whom the infuriated assassin kept at bay
for short time. A. Meany, the wounded
man. is not expected to live.

IN THE OPERATORS BEHALF.
Associated Press Dispatches From Brazil
Highly Colored.

It would be well for the Associated Press to
secure correspondent at Brazil, Ind, who is
not in the pay of the operators. Every item
that has been sent out from there by the Asso-
ciated Press has read very much as if it was
dictated by the operators. The information
furnished in Wednesdays dispatch was TO the
effect that ''trade has become so disorganized
that it is doubtful now if the operators can
afford to pay 20 cents. as at first offered" That
is a disgusting lie, sent out solely for the pur-
pose of interfering with the donations to the
distressed strikers. The matter of fact is the
operators will hold out only so long as they
think they can compel the miners TO accede TO
their terms, and so long as the demand for coal
is slack. as is the case at present. IL the
operators thought there was a possibility that
the miners would be able to stand ont against
them during the ensuing winter they would be
eager to pay price above 20 cents at mo-
ments notice.

BRAZIL, July 12-lSpecial. The contribu-
tions to the miners relief fund from Tuesday
up to to-day have been considerably less than
heretofore, the falling of being attributed to
the false reports which had gone out that arbi-
tration had been agreed upon and that Riley
McKeen of the Nandalia had proposed re-
ductiOn in railroad rates to the operators to
enable them to pay the miners 10 cents more
on the ton. The dependents reported to-day
