THE more people we have in this
county, the better it is for the farmers,
and the way to get more people here
is to offer inducements for the estab-

employment is given to all who de-

there is no better way to accomplish
this than by tilling the soil and garner

TIE RAILROADS.
A Decisive Cut Made in Packing House
Products from Kansas City.
The Roads Make liberal Rate for the Same
Kind Of FreiGh; from this city to New
Orleans-Local Matters.

Local railway and shipping circles have
been considerably agitated for several
days past, regarding the reduction IN
rates made b. one or two lines from
Kansas City on packing house products.
1t was believed that this was the first
step toward the expected fight between
the Kansas City packers and the'Fort
Worth packing company. A cut of IL
cents per 100 pounds has been made on
cured meats, the former rate of 20 cents
10 relative points in Texas having been
whitfield down TO SO. Although this
move on the part of the roads has been
known for several days, nothing has
been said about it, owing to negotiations
which were pending between the Fort
Worth packing company and certain
lines leading to New Orleans, which also
had Ms an object the reduction of the
regular tariff. Yesterday these neCo-
tiations were cousumsred and the Fort
Worth packery is in a position to not only
meet the reduction made by the two
roads from Kansas City, but to exceed
them 20 the amount OF about 3 cents per
100 rounds.
The reduction of rates on freight from
the Kansas CITY packing houses was dis
covered by certain dealers getting their
supplies prepaid 10 Fort Worth. quiet
Investigation was begun, and IL was dis
covered that the cut amounted to IL
cents per 100. The roads were not alone
In reducing the price of meats TO Texas
consumers, as the packers in Kansas
Civ some time since cut down the prices
on Ger tain fresh meats nearly 6 cents per
pound. 1t Is generally believed by the
officers of the Fort Worth packing COM
pany that this has been done with the
purpose Of "freezing out'' local compe-
ton, and that it was inspired by Messrs.
Dodd and Armour. The Fort Worth
puckery was anticipating this attack aud

the worst wound being in the fleshy part
of the left thigh. She also received sew
eral bruises from pieces of one of the
castings of the door blown off by the
shot. The officers were at once notified
and overt Ok the would-be murderers
about a mile North OF the place of the
shooting. When the officers approached
them it was plainly to be seen that a
tight was imminent, but getting the
drop on the ruffians, they were made to
give up their arms. One was armed
with Winchester and a As siX-shooter;
the other with two six-shooters. When
they were marched back to jail and
searched, Anderson, alias Terry, was
encased in n steel breastplate covering
the whole front. The shield ID made cut

has prepared to meet it, and when the
Kansas City dealers learn the concession
made by the roads TO the local packers it
Is evident the fight will be stopped .
These concessions amount to rate hav-
ing been offered and accepted of So cents
per 100 pounds on cured meats
from this city to New Or
leans, and very liberal rates to
points within the state Of Texas. The
former rate from Fort Worth to New
Orleans was 81 cents, which was some
thing of Il contrast with the So cent rate
from Kansas City TO New Orleans. The
35-cent rate offered the home packery
will ENABLE ii to lay down dressed and
cured meats in New Orleans ut a figure
below the dealers either In Wichita or
Kansas City. This is not permanent
rate, however, and the question will be
finally settled at the January meeting Of
the Southwestern freight agents.
Superintendent Baruum of the Fort
Worth packing company was asked by a
reporter how the cut rates from Kansas
City TO Texas points would effect his
company, and he replied that it would
not injure the paCkery in the least.
"Iou can tell the public for me, said
he, "that we can sell cheaper meats
than the Wichita or Kansas CITY packers,
and that we VIII demonstrate the fact as
soon rs we get in the market
Is should be remembered that the Fort
Worth packerv is not yet on the market
with cured meats. and that the fight
which has been made by the Northern
packers is to shut off trade with it. Just
why great railway companies should
lend a hand in an effort to suppress an
industry OF the character of the Fort
Worth packery, is not clearly under
stood, especially IN state where moth
ing of the kind exists. There is not the
slightest fear of the result of the fight,
and the hostility already shown is moth
ing more than was expected bv the men
who have put their money into the Fort
Worth packery.
