HOGS ARE SCARCE.
Chicago Packers Discharge 5000 Men
Owing to a Remarkable Shortage In the
Hog supply.

Chicago Packers Discharge 5000 Men
Owing to a Remarkable Shortage In the
Hog supply.
CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-It is reported that
since December about 5000 employees
have been discharged by the packing
companies at the Union stock yards
and that the plants are working
at half their capacity. It. is also
said that unless the supply of
hogs is speedily increased it may be
necessary to make still further reduc-
tions in the forces. The shortage in
the hog crop which has caused this
state of affairs is unusual. From No
vember l to December 81 western
packing was but 1880, 900 hogs,
against 3,s20,0OO for the same
period last year, shortage of
1,54O,oOO. Chicago during the same
period this year packed 100000 against
100000 year ago, shortage of
nearly 100000 hogs. This exceeds the
calculations of packers, who declare
the shortage will continue until spring.
Usually at this time of the year the
packing houses are running at their
fullest capacity, but now the remark
able scarcity of hogs and the big
prices makes the packing of pork
a decidedly costly and unprofit-
able business. The packing neccs'
sary to supply the present orders
is done, but with as small force o,
men as is possible. Commission mer
doing business at the yards figured thai
the crop would be short and the prices
high, but not to it's present extent
The shortage they ascribe to IVA
riety of causes. Robert Strahorn, o.
the firm of Strahorn & Co., who ha!
been in business for over thirty years
| said:
1.-The heavy spring rains plays prominen
part in the question In many sections tn
continued wet weather killed OF the spring cro
| of pigs that would be marketable now. Thel
the low prices OF the product early in the sprinl
| made the farmers careless. and instead OF keep
ing their hogs, as they usually do, until tn
| holidays, they started earlier and crowde
| them with cheap corn and sent them TO tn
| market The supply was greater than the dc
mand then and prices mended Now we fee
the result of the actions OF the farmers. w
will have to wait for hogs to mature, and in tn
meantime prices will naturally be high"

BLAINE RESTS EASY.

His Condition Not Alnrming-Belief That

His Recovery Is Regarded as Impos-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Mr. Blaine
passed n very comfortable day. There
S no longer any fear among the rel

dissolution, although there is always

failure, which would bring speedy
ieath.
While Mr.. Blaine's physicians are as
discreet in their utterances as men
we'll can be, their manner of express
sion impresses those who converse
with them daily that Mr.. Blaine's case
S hopeless; that, while he is in no imme-

fatal, and that his span of life is
measured by the progress of the dis

Tho Mercury Drops Away Below Zero aii
Many Points Great Suffering In west
ern Kansas--Trains Bloctaded by snow.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 27.-The
severest weather that has touched tho
southwest in years prevailed Monday
From the Arbuckle mountains in
southwestern Indian territory to the
Missouri river is one glare of ice and
snow, over which 2O-mile an hour
gale is blowing. AS outlined in these
dispatches, the sudden change in the
temp perature caught the people of the
poorer regions of Kansas exposed to
the ravages of the storm.
The snow in Seward county, Kan,
banked so high over the country roads
that communication is impossible, and
the wires being all down it is not
possible to learn from there the
exact condition. Many families in
the interior are known to be
without food to last twenty-four
hours, besides being insufficiently clad
to withstand much of this sort of
weather. There are at least dozen
families, embracing 100 members,
know to be IN this condition. Stevens,
Morton, Meade, Finney and Hamilton
counties are also suffering. In Finney
all the poorer clas ses are in sod houses
and are safe from suffering from cold,
From Larned to Coolidge the Santa
Fe road is blocked and passenger
trains are standing in country drifts.
There is no effort being made to extri-
cate the freight trains, which on the
Southern Kansas, central branch Union
Pacific and Santa Fe are standing on
sidetracks by the dozen, and it is
estimated that 5000 cattle in cars en-
route will freeze to death before they
can be moved. Agents on one line are
ordered to let the animals out and herd
them wherever pen can be found.
Robert Phillips, cattle-driver for a
southern Kansas ranchman, reached
here with a trainload of cattle for the
stock yards and he was frozen almost
stiff. He will not recover.
Wichita has had only two trains,
both local, all day and much suffering
is reported from the nearby country.
A special from there says: down in
the Indian territory guide found four
Cherokee blanket Indians frozen to
their ponies, which were pushing their
way through the snow just across the
line from Caldwell"

HOW HERR MADE MILLIONS.
Pitiiess Persecution of the Baron dc
Reinach to Secure Panama Funds
Startling Revelations in the Scandal.

Pitiiess Persecution of the Baron dc
Reinach to Secure Panama Funds
Startling Revelations in the Scandal.
PARIS, Dec. 27.-A story unmatched
in all history and without parallel even
in standard fiction was told by prom
inent banker Sunday in explanation of
the series of events which has cul-
minated in the present crisis in France.
1t requires few words to outline the
main features of this terrible drama.
1t will be remembered in connec-
tion with Baron Rein ach's death
that it was said that the principal
documents bearing on the dis
tribution of the vast Panama cor
ruption funds had been stolen. These
dangerous papers have for n long time
been in possession of Cornelius Herr,
now fugitive in London, who for sew
eral days has been so prominently be-
fore the public in connection with the
Panama affair. 1t is now said that
Herz's connection with Reinach has
been that of 'blackmailer and his
victim"
1t is explained that Herr gained pos
session of the documents several years
ago and has ever since levied gigantic
tribute upon Reinach. The amount
eXtorted up to the time of the baron's
death is placed at no less than ten
million francs. When the rumors of
Panama corruption began to be publicly
discussed six weeks ago Herr is said
to have made them the basis for q
fresh demand for 4, 900. 900 francs. He
threatened to publish all his evidence
IN vic q
Reinach could not respond. Herr, in
eXorable, increased the pressure. He
affirmed that he could stop the threat
ened great exposure if his demands
were satisfied.
Reinach in his extremity appe aled to
Rouvier. He reminded the minister Of
| finance of the assistance he had rem
dered him in the past and which Rou-
vier described in his indiscreet
| speech in the chamber the other
day. The distressed baron begged
him to use every effort to
prevent Herr from executing his
threats. Rouvier sought Clemenceau's S
aid. The latter reported that he could
do nothing. When the result was made
known to Reinach he exclaimed: 81 am
lost" A day or two later he was dead,
whether by suicide or murder is still
an open question.
Herz's pursuit of Reinach, 'pitiless
and relentless for years, is described as
one of the cruelisC crimes in history.
He was almost penniless and without
influence when Reinach made him his
protege. To-day he has more than
s., 0OO 900 in visible property in Paris
and Frankfort, besides large interests
in England. 1t is affirmed also that
he himself instigated the briberies
which he afterwards used to ruin his
benefaetor.

Rev. DR.. McGlynn to the Priesthood.
WASHING RON, Dec. 24-The famous
case of Father McGlynn, of st.
Stephens church, has finally been
decided by the restoration to him of
authority to perform his priestly func-
tions. The settlement of the case
came within the scope of the general
power vested in Mgr. Satolli, the papal
legate, and the decision was promul-
gated by him Friday night at the
Catholic university where he is stop
ping.
The case was first formally present.
ed to Mgr Satolli on Wednesday last
by Father Burtsell, McGlynn's friend
and adviser throughout his controversy
with the archbishop, which resulted in
the suspension of the priest and his
practical communication.
He presented the plea of the deposed
priest, at the close of which Mgr.
Satolli told him to return to New York
and communicate to DIR. McGlynn n
message from him (the monsignor).
The purport of this message can only
be surmised, but it is believed to have
contained statement OF the conces-
sions required to be made by him in
order that his plea might receive favor

SERIOUS FOR DlAZ.

Mexican Revoiutionists Rapidly Gaining
Ground-FOllowing the Battle ut Guer-
zero, In Which Ten Men Were Killed,
Another Federal Garrison Is Attacked
and Five Slain-No Quarter Given by
Either Side.
NEUvA LAREDO. Mexico, Dec. 23.-
Reports, although conflicting, come
from every part of the northern side of
the republic indicating the growth of
the revolutionary movement. Dis
patches are rushing to and fro from the
Mexican officials to the United States
officers on the frontier, and in the near
future there will be a genuine revolu-
tion in Mexico.
Information was received here Thurs
day that Gen. Estrada, stationed at
Mier, about rs miles down the Rio
Grande, was missing from his post of
duty, and it is thought he has joined
the revolutionists, who are marching
toward the interior of Mexico This
is another indication that the outlook
is serious for President Diaz. A courier
says that the reported desertion Of
Gen. Estrada is confirmed and that he
is now at the head of thousand men
who are in every way familiar with
the Businesses of the interior.
1t is impossible to gain any informa-
ton from those high in authority, as
everyone is under the strictest orders
not to make public the telegrams, but
this much is positively known, that
there was battle the 18th on MeXi-
can soil, near Guerrero, about 80 miles
from the river, between the Mexican
troops aud revolutionists, with a VIC
tory for the latter.
There were five soldiers killed in tho
sl1irmish, the revolutionists completely
routing the federal troops, and in a
body 400 strong continued on their
march toward the interior. When last
heard from they were within few
hours march of the town of Coralvo,
which is situated so miles from the
river, near the Candida mountains,
and 80 miles from the Mexican National
railroad.
Another battle took place on the 10th,
when ten men were killed at Coralvo,
where there is a garrison. At this place
five of the Mexican soldiers were burned
half alive. A courier with official in
formation gave it out that the revolu'
tionists gave and asked no quarters.

He the Leader of the Harmonist So
ciety. Better Known AS the Economists
Great Wealth of the Organization.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 27.-Jacob
Henrici, father of the Harmonist
society, died at his home in Economy,
the quaint little village of the COM
munity, at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon
The deceased was born farm in Gross.
Karlback Bavaria, on January 10, 1903 and
came TO this country when he was 20 years of
age and shortly after connected himself with
the Harmonist society. He was received with
open arms. and when Father Rapp. the founder
of the sect, died in 1868, he succeeded him, and
has since been the governing spirit
The Harmouist society was founded in Wur-
temberg by George Rapp about the year 1900.
Rapp believed that he had Divine call and
was charged with the restoration of the Chris
tian religion TO its original purity, and the COM
munity was founded on this basis on the model
of tho primitive church, with goods in COM
mon A difficulty with the govern
mcnt in regard to worship impelled Rapp
to transplant his community in 1903 from Wur-
temberg to the United States They first set
tied near Zelonople, Butler county, this state,
where they founded the village of Harmony.
There were over 100 families in the society and
they employed themselves in agriculture and
manufactures In 1924 they sold their property
and moved to Beaver county, where they
founded the village OF Economy
On account of the peculiar religious beliefs
of the society, which keeps them from marry
| ing, its members have gradually decreased.
| until they are u mere handful us compared 70
| what they were formerly. AT their most pros
| porous period, which was about sixty
| years ago, there were fully 800
| persons who acknowledged allegiance TO
| the beliefs held by this society. Trouble came
| in 1872 and about one-thlrd of their members
left the original society and founded q new or
| ganiZation of their own. This split was the re-
| suit of their beliefs on marriage and as to tho
| amount OF work TO be done by the different
members.
| BY the death OF Father Henrici many believe
| the future success OF the society will be en-
| dangered, though others strongly maintain
| that it will so on usual and with little
| change in its affairs. What leads many OF Its
| most devoted members to have fears for the
| society's future is its small membership It's
| numbers are becoming less each year and there
| are only few who make formal application
| for membership.
| The society owns and controls about 2,5Oo
| acres OF ground in high state of cultivation
Besides this numerous other industries are
operated by IL, as there are factories and facii
tiles for supplying oil their needs. They can
exist almost Independently OF outside in
nuences, AZ 1t has been their aim to be q com
munistic community, and they have succeeded
in the past. The wealth of the community is
said 10 be about S300oO.0Oo though 1t has fro
| quently been claimed that IL was near 100000.
