Two Cunning Chicago Packers May he
Prosecuted Therefor.
CHICAGO, Oct. Thomas Il. Roush
swore out warrants to-day for the arrest of
John Cudahy and Austin w. Wright, oharg.
ing them with conspiracy to run corner
on short ribs. When the cholera scare be-
gan, many packers being afraid of heavy
losses. made haste to sell. Wright. it is
claimed, was on the long side Of the market
and much of the ribs were unloaded on
him. lie believed that as soon
as the cholera scare blew over he
would be long on staple article of
limited production. while everybody else
would be at his mercy. The allegation is
made that Cudahy, Chicago represent tatiye
of the big Omaha Chiago firm, agreed to
back him in carrying the ribs. Thus rein
forced. Wright carried out the campaign.
To-day there were 142, 900 barrels of pork,
%, 100000 pounds of ribs, and o.
900 tierces of lard in the
Chicago market. Ribs went from
$40 to $10.50 during the day. and deliveries
amounted to only 100000 pounds. 1t is
said Cudahy and Wright got the whole
quantity. The deal is of great importance
in view of the fact that the visible supply
of ribs is only 23,00O.000 pounds, against a
short interest OF 45,000,000 pounds. The
shorts are in hot water. Neither Cudahy
nor Wright had been arrested up to late
hour tonight.

Open the Campaign With Great Meeting
at Woodsdale.
WooDsDALE Island Park, Ohio, Oct. L.
The democrats opened the csmpaign in this
gta.a here this afternoon. Crowds of peo-
pie entered the grounds long before trains
from Cincinnati began to deliver their car
goes of uniformed democratic clubs. Vice
Presidential Candidate Stevenson and other
speakers were escorted to the grounds by a
special train. The exercises opened with
an old-fashioned picnic. Mr.. Stevenson,
in his address, SAID he brought good news
from North Carolina and Virginia, as we'll
as from Illinois. He spoke hopefully of
success in Iowa.
Speaking of the reasons for Cleveland d 8
re election, he said Cleveland's administra-
tion WAS admitted, even by republicans, to
have been an honest one. Bonds were paid
as fast as matured, nearly hundred mil
lion acres of land restored from wrongful
holders to the people. He turned over the
government with almost humid ed millions
| of dollars in the treasury in money saved
by the economical administration of af-
fairs. The question then was what would
be done with the surplus. Now it is, where
shall money be obtained for the expenses OF
the government, This yoar the estima ted
deficit will be hfty-two millions. and the
treasury is confronted with bankruptcy. The
cause of this Is th9 lavish even unnecessary
appropriations by the billion dollar con
gress. The present house is made to ap-
pear extravagant because III addition to
the necessary expenditures it was forced to
pay an item of ST., 900, 900 left by the billion
dollar house and had added to it 49,, 000, 900
by the republican senate, while the Nc
Kinley tariff outs off S50,O00,0oO of national
revenue. In the one instance where the
republicans removed the tariff namely. on
sugars. they had by that same bill taken
$l5, ,000, 600 year for fifteen years from the
people to pay the sugar growers a bounty, u
clear case of making one class rich at the
expense of the county.
Stevenson decla,ed that the tariff does
not regulate wages; they are regulated by
the law of supply and demand. Wages are
higher here because lively American meth
ods of labor are moro productive than
those of the listless European workmen.
Dealing with tho force bill no declared it's
enactment would put into the field on cleo
tion day an a my of 500, 900 federal office
holders to be paid from the treasury Of the
government.
Ex-Gov. Campbell made q humorous
speech in which he spoke of Stsvenson's
record us the creator of democratic post
masters, relating an incident where the
present candidate tor vice. president had.
as a favor to him (Campbsl) decapitated
sixty-hve republican tostmasters IN two
minutes. He regarded II man of that aort
as a vigorous and true democrat. When
the cheers following this statement sub
dued, Stevenson arose and said he consid-
cred that the highest compliment he had
received in his whole life.

MoRRIs PARK Oct. 1.-The rich Matron
stakes was decided this afternoon at the
opeuing day, before 1900 lovers OF tho
race horse. The weather WIS perfect. A
strong wind was blowing down the straight
away and made a lightning fast track--a
record breaking one. Much Of the import
ance of ths Matron stakes was lost to sight
when DIR. Hasbrouck, with 122 pounds
chopped two full Becnnda off the five fur
longs record. No one thought him fast
enough to lower $50. the record originally
made by Aides over the same track, and du-
plicated by himself and others afterwards,
and when :57 was hung up by the official
timers the spectators were amazed and in
clined to be skepticaI. When Yemen bea
off his opponents III the second race of six
furlongs and lowered the record for that
distance from 1:10I to 1:O934, doubters
were convinced that 1t was surely record
breaking track. There we're seventeen
starters in the Matron stakes. The betting
was one-sided, Miss Maude and Sir Francis
being respectively first and second choice
at two and two and half to ono. The
others were backed at from eight to one to
100 to ten: Kebecca Rowstt colt headed
tho bunch half way down the hill and
looked sure winner a sixteenth from the
finish. Suddenly Garrison, on Sir Francis,
came out of the bunch with rush, fol-
lowsd closely by Miss Maude. Rebacca
colt made final effort but Driver Dono-
hue was no match for his opponents, Sir
Francis winning by q head from Miss
Maude. The stakes were worth $43, 600.

THE MAIN STREET PAVING.
An Improvement Noticeable as the Worl
Neared the End.

An Improvement Noticeable as the Work
Neared the End.
Now that the paving of Main street from
Cutler street 10 Helena avenue has been
completed there is noticeable improve
ment in the last third of the work over the
other parts. While this may in measure
be due to the fact that the men at work on
the paving became more expert as they
went along, the bulk of the credit belongs
to the Montana Lumber company. which
furnished the blocks for the last third Of
the paving. The blocks furnished by the
Montana Lumber company were of fir, the
same as those for the other part of the
work, and they had the advantage of being
thoroughly dried and free from sap. There
was no delay in the delivery of the blocks,
so that work was not stopped at anv time
for even part of day on that account. The
contract for the delivery of the blocks, and
the maDnsr in which it was carried ont,
only adds another notch 10 the already high
reputation of the Montana Lumber company
for prompt dealing and best quality of
goods.

MIsgoULA, Oct. 1.--[f5pecial. THE repub-
licans held mass meeting in the opera
house this evening. In the afternoon it
was discovered that the drums, which were
10 head the proposed parade, were missing.
After considerable search they were dis
covered on the top Of tho First National
bank building, and the parade consisting
OF about thirty email boys, got started
rather late. The crowd did NOT fill the
house to its full capacity, but was orderly
and attentive. and included many ladies'.
Hon. Allen Miller, of Ogden, Utah, WAS the
first speaker introduced. Hia remarks
were principally on the tariff Issue and
English manufacturers. The old questions
of wages and protection were gone into,
but she usual Tnags Of statistics that are
generally fred at political mass meetings
were not produced. After MIR. Miller had
closed his remarks number of the audi
ence arose to depart. and Judge Francis
WAS introduced to about two thirds of the
original crowd. He dilated on the force
bill, southern elections and the war record
of the republican party. By the time he
concluded what he had to say the audience
was much smaller than when he com
menced. The meeting could be styled as
particularly enthusiastic. The remarks ON
the force bill were particularly pleasing to
number OF republicans present.
