IMPRISONED INDEFINITELY.

Our attention has been called by
County Commissioner r. P. McGreg.
or to rather peculiar state Of affairs
with regard to the imprisonment In
the county jail of persons convicted OF
violating the prohibitOry law who
may be unable to pay the fines and
costs assessed against them. II seems
that If such a person be placed In the
county jail for say 30 to 80 days and
at the end of that time is unable TO
pay his fine or costs there 10 no relief
for him under the law and be must re-
main in Jail indefinitely at an expense
TO thJ county for keeping of forty
cents q day, which amount lie also
added to the costs in his case, thus
steadily increasing the burden upon
him and giving him NO chance for
freedom unless perchance friends come
10 his relief and pay his way ont.
Last June man was sent 10 our
county jail for violating the prOhibito-
ry law, in July another and three more
went from here in September for dis
posing of whiskey at our soldiers re-
union. Last week q widow with Eve
small children was convicted Of Q viO-
lation Of the law on two counts. Be.
ing unable to pay her fine and costs
she was sent to Jail aud her little ones
taken from her and sent to the county
poor farm.
All Of the above mentioned men
are still prisoners at the county Jail at
an expense to the county Of forty cents
each per day, and there .is No telling
how long they win have to remain
there, as 1t seems the commissioners
(nor anyone else) haye no authority to
release them under the law except
their fines and costs be paid. This 1t
seems they are unable to do, and the
question arises what 10 10 be done
with them"
Chapter 100 Of the session laws Of
1889 reads as follows:
Sec. l. That section one Of chapter
l47 of the laws Of 1871 be and the
same is hereby amended 90 as to read

I've found a synopsis Of o pending bill
providing for the allotment Of the
Quapaw Indian lands just south OF
this city. By this bill the Indians are
TO receive. 200 acres each, but II is gen.
orally believed congress will amend
this, 30 as to moro closely conform to
the provisions Of the Dawes bill, and
mako the allotment at 160 acres for
each member Of the tribe. Il 10 said
this will be satisfactory 70 the Qua

to settlement or rather open to sale to
actual settlers only, whild nearly
every acre of the allotted lands will
also be made available TO white set
tiers under the provisions of the bill
regarding the leasing Of the land BY
the Indians.
The passage of this bill will give
Baxter Springs just what she has

appears to be satisfactory to oil inter-

SOME BEEF COMBHNE RI0UREA
Leading republican journals oil over
the country are exclalming IN one
grand chorus-"down with trusts"
Sbust the combines" and 1t 10 very
probable that the present congress
spurred TO action by the unanimous
sentiment Of the press, viii enact laws
that will choke of the evils that are
now depressing the people. The To-
peka Capital, In showing up the In
consistencies of the beef combine
men that there is no money In the
business for them, contains the follow
ing interesting figures:
Figures are dull things. They are
the meat of discussion and yet lite least
appetizing part. This is unfortunate
because they are full Of nutrition. The
least interesting and most effective
way of showing up the enormitics OF
the beef combine Is by means Of fig
ures of the cost of beef and the price
of cattle al given times. In lS69 fair
20 good, smooth second class cattle
brought $3.50 to 81 per hundred
pounds. Prime to choice fat, $7.25 to
$7.75. To-day the price of the latter
il S4.4O To $3.50, extra beeves. The
former, poor grades, run from 81 to "a.
In 1869 In Chicago porter-honse steak
was Is to Is cents pound. To-day 1t
is from l2h to % cents. Sirloin
steak, then l21f to Is cents; now 10 to
Is. Round steak, then 10 to l2H, now
8 to 10. The cheapest pieces are less
now than twenty years ago.
On the whole, then, cattle have fall
an of from 40 to GO per cent, while
meat has remained very nearly sta
tionary.
Why? Does it cost more to reduce
cattle 10 steakp BY no means. AS a
matter of fact It is doubted by no one
that at the same figures obtaining IN
1869 the profits would be greater now
than they were then. There have been
wonderful improvements In the
slaughtering and economy OF materi'
ais. Slaughter houses, moreover, are
centering In vast establishments at o
great saving Of labor and system.
The business has TO run to speciaities
in as high degree as has the law or
medicine. The saving on labor OF
slau entering alone has been estimated
At 10 cents q head. It costs 40 cents
- sleu0htar n ateer. Twenty per
cent saved there, why not everywhere
else? It is greater elsewhere. Every
thing is now utilized. There is abso-
luteiy no waste. Hair, hoOfs, hides,
horns, entrails and all employed to
swell the profit.
The packers buy cattle now so per
cent cheaper than the price twenty
years ago. They save 20 per cent fur
Their in slaughtering. Then they
make an immense saving in materials
formerly thrown away as offal. They
get approximately the same price ex-
cent for cheap steaks, roasts, boiling
pieces, etc. They have the business
all TO themselves. Last week their
only competitor in New England sur
rendered. They terrorize local BUTCH
ers and forbid them to bid for con.
tracts. They have powerful hold on
the foreign market and monopolize
the carrying power Of vessels.
Yet they claim TO be making little or
no profit! 1t won't wash. The aver
age of intelligence is too high In the
United States to swallow such state
ments."
