the general interests Of all con-
eerned and will mark a great stride
in the improved political situation
in this country. Any position OF
the Republican party in any state
that will retard the movement
thus going on is to be guarded
against, and it is on this account,
no less than on that of political
consistency, that wisdom pro-
nounces against any endorsement
of the Populists or any utilization
with them. The Republican party
is fighting for the triumph of its
time and again asserted declara-
tions on finance and tariff, and it
is making no surrender of these
for the sake of carrying here and
there a Democratic outpost.

Defrauding the Knights.

CINCINNATI. Oct. 1s.-The post office inspectors are working on frauds per petrated upon Knights of Pythias lodges all over the country. The in- spectors are reticent because their work is not completed and the knights will not talk except to say that the fraud is likely committed by mem- Der of the order and that their officials turned the case over to the postal authorities. Bogus bene- fit orders have been presented to lodges all over the country and cashed, secur- ing $20 from each lodge. All signs and grips are said to be used by the swim dler and blank orders were stolen from different lodges. At Logansport, Ind, 1000 blank orders and the seal were stolen from Apollo lodge. The blanks duly filled out were cashed at Bellows Falls, Me-, Rutland, Vt., and other eastern points

The Grand Jury Returns Bills Against an
 Investment Company and a Postmaster.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct 20.-Among the in dictmcnts handed down by the federal grand jury yesterday were those of Messrs. Mcdonald and Wells, president and secretary respectively, of the Guar antee Investment Co.,, of Nevada, Mo. The grand jury did not indict Johnson, Slattery and Stevenson, but Col. Clop- ton, United States district attorney, says that he will file information against them for violation of the fed eral lottery law.
 The grand jury indicted S. T. Baker, C. II. Mekeel and w. l.. Scott, for n con- spiracy to defraud the government This is the Columbian stamp case, which last spring was dismissed on de- murrer of the defendants, that the in dictments charged no offense to the federal law. Baker was postmaster at Shrewsbury. Mo-, and the indictment charges that Mekeel and Scott, who were in the stamp business in St. Louis. offered him great per cent. of the value of all the Colum- bian stamps he would cancel for them. They are charged with bribing him, and he with accepting the bribe, the whole procedure being, it is charged, a conspiracy, whose effect was to be the unlawful increase of Bakers salary as postmaster and the defrauding of the government to that extent.

--------=-=-=---=- THE WHEAT-FED HOG.
A Practical Test Made with Satisfaction af
 Armour's Packing House.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Oct. 1s.-Thc Armour Packing Co.,, of this city. has been making series of practical tests to determine the quality of the wheat fed hog and its availability for pack ing. Tests made at the Kansas agri- cultural college, and also by farm CTS, have shown that there is more money for the farmer, on the present basis of hog values, in feed ing wheat to hogs than would be to sell it on the market at 40 to 50, or even 60 cents per bushel. But test which was completed at Arrnour's this morning also demonstrated beyond question that wheat-fed hog would dress out as well. if not trifle better, than the corn-fed hog.
 The test was made with seventy-one hogs that had been fed on wheat. Their total weight was 17,s2O pounds, or an average of 251 pounds each. and they dressed out l9,33s pounds of meat or 9.24 per cent. of their live weight. This is considered very satisfactory and is a strong argument in favor of feeding wheat to hogs.
 
 During the week of September 20 the house run of 1913 hogs at Armour's showed percentage of 6s. 9s, while it is said that the house run in eight weeks has not gone below 6G per cent, nor higher than 60 per cent, so that to-day's test is better than any that has been made for some time. On a basis of this test packers generally will accept the vheat-fed hog as being the equal in every way, if not superior, to the corn-fed hog, and the farmers who have been bewailing the low price of wheat will extract a good deal of satis- faction in the thought that they can realize mor. money out of their wheat by feeding it to the swine than by sell ing it on the market at the prevailing low prices.

ADvICEs received from Colorado in' dicate that the women who will have their first vote on general state cleo tion November 6 are evincing an inter- est in politics which had not been sup posed probable when the right of suf- fragc was conferred. All three parties, the republican, democratic and popu- list, have tickets in the field and there are female candidates on each of them. All accounts represent the women as taking as much interest in the cam paign as the men, and the indications are believed to be that the total vote ot the state will almost equal the state adult population.

Bold Bandits Hold Up an Express Train on
 the Texas Pacific.

the Texas Pacific.
 WEATHERFoRD, Tex, Oct. 20.-A re- port reached here yesterday afternoon that the west bound passenger train on the Texas Pacific railway, which left here at lO:3O yesterday morning, was held up and robbed by four men near Gordon about noon. At point about miles this side of Cor don four men, unmasked, ap proached the section gang and forced them to obstruct the road and flag the train as it approa ched, and when the train was stopped the ban dits forced the express messenger to open the door of the car. They also forced the section men to go into the car with sledge hammer and try to batter the combination off the express safe, but their efforts to open the safe were unfruitful. The messengers way safe was battered open and what money there was in it was taken by the robbers. The amount secured, it is estimated, runs anywhere between $500 and 5000. To-day being pay day at Thurber for the large number of hands that work at the mines, there was in the combination safe S30,O00 consigned to the Pacific Coal Co.,, which was to pay off the hands.
