a local photographer has been an
nOyed for some time by finding when
he returned to his Office in the morning
that the gelatine plates on which mega
tives are taken, and placed in the
rack over night to dry, were disfig-
ured with holes and blotches here and
there, often running them. He attrib-
uted 1t TO his assistants awkWardness
or carelessness. The young man was
sick yesterday and did not come to the
Office. Several sittings were had, and
the negatives were placed by the pho
tographer himself last night in the
rack. On returning early this morning
and going to the rack he saw a number
of mice jump out of it. The mystery
was solved. The plates were, as usual,
ruined, the pesky little rodents having
eat numerous holes in them. a couple
of College professors who sat for their
pictures yesterday will have Ito come

THEY lay awake of nights in Boston
thinking of some new reform. The
latest reform idea to get abroad there
is that which proposes to remove the
interdict against the use of the knife
at the table. If a man prefers to feed
with his knife, let him do so in Gods
name, and if he cuts his throat, why.
that is his own look out. The idea is a
good one if it is of Boston origin. One
of the awkwardest things imaginable is
to see man who is not left handed
trying to eat peas with fork.

THE CONVENTION. |
The Delegations All in and Hard
at Work.
Wire Pulling the General Order of
the Day.
The Convention Meets at 5 O'Clock
This Afternoon
The Temporary Officers Already
Agreed Upon.
CONVENTION.

AS is well known a great many of
the delegates to the congressional con-
vention arrived in the city yesterday, as
did also several of the candidates.
They lost no time in getting down to
work electioneering for their respective
candidates. The Shawnee county
delegation backed by strong follow
ing of strikers made formid bic
showing. They talk very confidently
of electing their man MIR. Metsker.
All of to-day speculation has been
rife among the delegates as to the
merits of the different candidates and
the possible combinations that
may or can be made. In the
multiplicity of candidates it is impos
sible to arrive at any rational conclu-
sion as to the result. The candidates
will all secure complimentary votes,
and after that the breakup viii set in,
and the work of combining will
begin. The struggle between
three or four of the lead
ing candidates promises to be
quite lively.
The friends of j. NJ. Miller of Nor.
ris county are quite active, likewise the
friends of D. G. Metsker of Shawnee
county and of Finch of Usage. The
Emporia boys are talking Scott whC
is recognized as one of the ablest OF
the candidates.
Harrison Kelly of COffey has also /;
strong following.
A meeting of the candidates ant
their friends was held in the White!
this afternoon, to decide Upon tempo
rary organization. There was no strife
no contest about it at all. The onl.
object in the meeting was to expedite
matters. Mr.. w. A. Morgan of Chast
county was chosen temporary chair
man, and DIR. NJ. L. Stockton of Coffe
county temporary secretary.
The following committee on resolu
ftions was chosen. Chairman, H. L
Fighter of Morris, T. w. Rash, Butler

THE DRESSED BEEF COuBINE.

'HH y DRESSED BEE 20 onA "a.
The argument of the Kansas City
Times to the effect that local
butchers or rather handlers of meat
dressed by the packers, are responsible
for the high prices of meat, which it
admits, still exists, in spite of the
great decline in the price of cattle. is
the merest bosh and rot. Where
ever the dressed beef Is sold to the ex-
clusion of the home butchered article,
it gained a foot hold by being offered
at reduced price which was placed
sufficiently low and continued so I'M
til local butchers were driven out, and
was then put up as high as circum-
stances would admit. In no other
way could it drive out the local butch
ers and gain control of the market.
The local handlers of the combine S
dressed beef are merely the agents of
the packers, who fix the price as they
are directed to do. When it
is necessary to put it down
even to nominal sum.
they do 50 at the bidding of the COM
bine. To say that they alone are to
blame for the high price prevalent, is
to talk nonsense.
But the existence of this fact alone
namely that the price of beef is higf
while that of cattle is Iowa fact
which the Times most reluctantly add
mits-is evidence enough for the mos
stupid or incorrigible, to prove that
the price of either cattle or beef, o.
both, is not fixed according to the laws
governing supply and demand. If j
was there could never be the disparity
known and admitted to exist between
the price of cattle and that of dressed
beef.
That such an unnatural disparity eX'
lists is proof enough. if no other was a
hand, to show that the price of cattl
is controlled by the big FOUR just a
the price of Irvine is fixed by the twiB'
trust. The farmer at one end is rob
bed in the price of his cattle, while thu
consumer is swindled at the other enc
in the price of his beef.
1t is in .the power of the people t,
smash such monopolies as this iufa
nous cattle combine, if they only have
the courage. If not, they have NJ
right to complain.
