BEEF GOING HIGHER.
Big Meat Packers Deny Reports Of a

The Failure of the Corn Crop is Primarily
Responsible for the High Prices of Beef
Prospects That Prices Will Go Still
Higher.
Chicago, April 10.-The story tele-

paper that the recent advance in beef is
not justified and the big Chicago pack
ers are making an effort to control the
meat market of the country and ad-
vance prices to consumers is emphatical-
~ denied by Nelson Morris, Geo. F. Swift,
Armour & Co., and other packers.
The advance of prices on dressed
beef" said Nelson Morris this morning,
is the natural result of the scarcity of
cattle. Already this years receipts of
cattle at our principal points-Chicago,
st. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City-are
10000 head behind last years record.
Last weeks receipts are 1000 head short
equal to 1900, 600 pounds of dressed beef.
We are 10000 head short already this
week. The price of live stock is now So
per 100 pounds higher than last year. ]
expecIlto see prices go still higher.n
y Mr.. Swift denied that there was d
com biue among the packers. Manager
Favorite of P. D. Armour & Co., said the
only causes for the high prices of cattle
are the scarcity of beeyes and the failure
OF the Germ crop.

As she recalled the past, and tried to
penetrate the future, a smile of supreme
satisfaction passed over her honest face
as she remembered that her life's work
would be perpetuated
The room in which she sat contained
hundreds of volumes of records; and,
turning to her daughter, she said, =
"My daughter, this room, as you we'll
know, contains the records of my life's
work, in which for many years you have
so diligently assisted me.
"By earnest application you have COM
passed my methods; and it is a happi-
ness to think that when ] leave, the
glorious work will, through you, go on.
The mission is noble one. Do as I
have done: never permit a woman's ap-
peal to go unheeded.
These records tell of every case ever
submitted to me; and it is my wish that
the facts they contain shall in time prove
a much-needed education to the women
of the world
Thus did Lydia E. Pinkham hand over
to her daughter, Mrs. Charles FL. Pink

of her sex; and that wonderful remedy,

of 1877, 900 men were wounded and
4,653 were killed ON the government side
Viceroy Ii, as he lay wounded at
Shimonoseki, frankly admitted the
weakness displayed By China and ex-
pressed regret for it for her sake, but
said he thought the defeat of China
would advance the cause of civilization
in the East, and it was therefore not al

The details of the battle fought at
Iapingshan, February "a, between about
5000 Japanese and $4,000 Chinese under
Gen. Sung, show that the japanese troops
left their quarters at 2 am, and did
