the barrel demolished, so that the trunk
could be removed. 1t is impossible to

Orders Issued That Will Increase the
Supply of Meat.
Washington, April 17,-1n view of the
great rise in the price Of beef n the
scarcity of cattle the chief Of the bu-
reau of animal industry. DR.. Salmon,
has recommended to the secretary of
agriculture the admission Of Mexican
cattle into the United States under
stringent regulations calculated to in
sure a rigid inspection of all cattle ad-
mitted. 1t is hoped by this means to
check the tendency to excessive prices
to the consumer without injuriously
affecting the interests of the beef pro-
ducers. In accordance with these rec
concentrations Secretary Morton yes
terday issued a special order allowing
Importation of cattle from Mexico. Mr..
Morton said there was nothing new in
the matter OF the higher prices for beef.
The secretary said there was a shortage
Of about 275, 900 head of cattle, and that
the short corn and grass crops in pre-
vious years had something to do with
the rise. It is expected that DR.. Sal
who is making the investigation,
will go to Chicago before his report is
completed.

army comrade, Mr.. All. Parlin. a resi-
dent of Madison, Ne, and he incidently
mentioned how he a tried DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for a severe case of
rheumatism and a spinal n malarial
trouble, that he had suffered with con-
of his army life, and had been
greatly benefited by their use. BY his
earnest recommendation I was induced
to try the pills. After taking them for

IN HAYES that Barney Ellwanger, the
alleged wife murderer. was captured in

Most persons who are in any way In

body on the slightest ~provocation, n
the fact that they are unknown to the
persons whom they address is apparent
ly of little moment, says the New York
World. Since w. H. Crane has re-
turned to the city he has been In re-

day, and two-thirds of them come from
persons who are unknown to him. The

that" he exclaimed, and he handed
over the following:
Your play is an insult to any man
who has got a daughter. Why should
a father ever be compelled to give up
his child? Why should he be prevented
from making her happy, ever after she
is married? Is she not still his? Your
play is far fetched, despite the Bible or
anything else" The writer's name is

fool of a man. My son-in-law is going
to propose that you form an associa-

That association is going to have a
pretty big job on it's hands. Read this"
he said:

Another letter was from a man who
