big THREE" THREATS.
An Adverse Court Decision May
Anger Them.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Rumors were cur
rent today that the big Three" are
preparing to pull out of the Union
stockyardS and go to Tolleston, Ind. as
was proposed last year. The reason for
this is that the big packers fear the
courts decision in the litigation now
pending before Judge Tuiey, whereby
the nOn-aSsociate packers expect to set
aside the agreement on which Armour.
Swift and Morris were induced Ivy the
Union Stockvards and Transit company
10 abandon the Indiana plan for con-
Sideration.
Mr.. Armour does not deny the report,
but says he has not put his money in
TOieston land for his health. He adj
mtS that the courts action is doubtful,
and does not attempt to conceal the
plans of thu big Three" in case they
find themselves face to face with an adj
verse decision. July %. 1891, in Lon
don, an agreement was made whereby
The big Three" were to be paid -, OOO.-
900 i'm securities and cash in considera-
ton of their remaining at the old yards
for term OF fifteen years. The small
packers promptly protested against
what they claimed to he an illegal dis
elimination and brought suit asking to
be placed Oh an equal footing with the
combine.
The small packers claim that the last
threat of the big Three" is merely an
attempt TO sandbag them. As under the
interstate law the output of the Zig
Three" concerns could not be marketed

plants be removed to Indiana. On tile

ninety-fiye years. They were the
daughters of a Revolutionary soldier.

It was found impracticable, however, as

FORD'S NEW DEAL.
agreement A dopted Providing for
Commissions.


CHICAGO, May 14.-One of the sur
priseS of the week is the attitude taken
by the Pennsylvania company on the
subject of passenger commissions. 1t
transpires that at the meeting of the
Ohio river lines in Cincinnati-which.
by tue way, was called by the Pennsyl-
vania people-General Passenger Agent
Ford, OF that road, produced a form of
agreement providing for the payment of
a commission of 81 on every ticket sold
between Chicago and Cincinnati and
between Chicago and Louisville, and
$3.50 on round-trip tickets between those
points. Furthermore. he strongly urged
the adoption of this clause, declaring
that commissions were necessity;
that the ticket agents were entitled
to them, and that he was in favor of
making them permanent institution i'm
the territory of the Chicago and Ohio
River Passenger association.
As the Pennsylvania has heretofore
been known as chief of the opposition
to commissions and was the leader in
the famous boycott against the Chicago
d Alton, this new departure was a
great surprise to the representatives of
the other lines present at the confer
ence. The clause was unanimously
ADOPTED. though some OF those who
voted for it suspected that Mr.. Ford'S
course was simply the carrying out of
some deep laid schemes by which they
were eventually to he placed at disad-
vantage.

TREACHEROUS SOIL.
Where the Snipe Shooter Gets the
Worst Of 1t.

H.
Snipe shooting on an Irish bog is an
excellent test of a gunner's skill and
enthusiasm. Iu "Forty-Flve Years of
Sport" Mr.. COrballiS says that lie was
out shooting with Lord Gormanstown,
who weighed $50 pounds. and his agent,
weighing 2lo when they came to bog
swarming with snipe.
The walking was dangerous, for at
every step the surface of the moss for
fifty yards rose and fell like a wave of
the sea.
Suddenly Lord Gormanstown put his
feet on tuft of grass. and down he
went up to his armpits. The agent
shook with laughter, which so disturbed
the bog he stood on that it gave way,
and let him in up to his armpits.
A man was sent to the nearest house,
mile away, for rope, and the two
heavy men, after remaining in the bog
for thIee-QuarterS of an hour, were
hauled out.
An experienced bog shooter, if he
finds himself going down. throws him.

same time throws his gun to his attend

IDAHO MINING FIGHT.
Owners and WOrkmen Preparing
for a Siege.

WALLACE, Idaho, May 14.-The
roubIe between the mine owners asSo-
citation and the miners of the Coeur
d'Alene region is rapidly nearing a
crisis. Five hundred non union men
who left Duluth yesterday are expected
to arrive here Sunday night and will be
landed in Burke and Gem. The mine
owners are determined to work their
mine with nOn-union men aid will try
10 prevent the union miners from inter
fering with them. Two thousand more
will be shipped and put to work at once.
United States Marshal Pinkham is
here and injunctiOnS have been served
upon F. K. jerome, editor of the Mullan
Tribune; Adams Albauch, editor of the
Wallace Press; Richard Cunningham
sheriff of Sho5hone county. and W., A.
Jones, one of the attorneys for the
miners union, to prevent interference
with the men. The miners have secured
an attorney to. fight the legality of this

to convict the prominent mine owners,
OH the ground that an injunction was
obtained by perjury. Both sides are
determined, and it is very improbable
that the trouble will be amicably adj
iuSted.

DATE OF DEDICATION.
A Change Suggested for the Chi
cago Celebration.


ALBANY. May 14.-State Worlds
Fair Commissioner Rowland and Dis
trict Commissioners Delaheid and Tap
pan have gone to Washington to rec
ommeDd, OIL behalf of the New York
state board. that the date for dedicat;ng
the worlds fair buildings at Chicago:
and celebrating the 4GJth anniversary
of the discovery of Am erica be changed.
by congress from Oct. II to Oct. 81. in
accordance with Commissioner John
Boyd Thatcher's suggestion made some
time ago. % Z "
The national board at Chicago favor
the change and it was at their sugges-
ton that the commission from this state
went to Washington. Said Commits
sioner Thatcher today said: "And the
change should be made for two reasons
first, SO as not to conflict with the an
niyerSary celebration i'll New York on
Oct. ~. so as to allow the New Workers
to attend the celebration; and second,
on account of its propriety. The firsto of
October falls or Friday, which was the
day Columbus discovered America, and,
furthermore, Oct. 81 is really the date
on which the 400th anniversary falls, as
has heretofore been pointed out"

PEOPLE WHO LACK SALT.

Venetians Do Not Use 1t in Pre-
pairing Their Food.
Salt does not enter into the food of
the poor Venetians. They never taste
it, and the hospital for the scrofulous
children at Lido is filled by those who
have not had this necessary article in
their food, says the Omaha Bee. Every
evening L have noticed poorly
dressed woman. accompanied by
two small children, boy and a
girl, go to a point Oh the river
and lean over the edge of the wall and
fill bottle with salt water. Becoming
curious as to the use made of it, APP
preached her, with an apology for the
question. and asked what she did with
the sea water. Turning upon me
sweet, sad face, in which traces of
beauty were still visible, she replied
that this was the only way she had OF
giving her children the taste of salt
which they required. The tax levied
upon this article by the government
placed it entirely beyond the reach of
the poor. Is it right, 1 ask. that gov
ernment should take from its people AL
article necessary TO health?
