TEXAS CATTLE SHORTAGE.
Prices Higher in tn at State Than in
the Open Market

Dallas, Oct. S.-Co1. William Hunter,
the states veteran live stock commits
sion agent, speaking of the cattle feed
ing outlook in Texas, said today:
During my experience in the cattle
business, which extends back to the
early '4OS, 1 have never experienced a
year in any way similar to this. Cat
tie suitable for feeding purposes are
commanding more money here at home
than they would net on the open mar
ket. It seems that the shortage of cot
ton seed is not so great as was at first
anticipated, and I believe that fully as
many cattle will be fed this year as
there were last. From some cause cot
ton seed has been bringing 81 to 81 per
ton more than a year ago, which has,
of course, advanced the price of meat
and hulls considerably. 1t will be seen
that high prices are being paid for
both cattle and feed, which is rather
an unusual occurrence, as my expert
ence has been that when cattle were
high feed was had at reasonably low
prices, and vice versa.
Northern cattlemen have bought our
cattle until there is a shortage SO far
as Texas is concerned. Prices are
higher on the general run of cattle, and
it is my honest opinion that we can
reasonably expect that a point below 81
per 100 will not be reached. Some con-
tend that Sc viii be paid, and, while
1 think this looks rather high, at the
same time l would not be surprised tC
see a few choice lots sell at that figure
However, 1 thing the general run vii

FOR BIG STEEL PLANT.
Reported Deal Between John D. Rock
efaller and Andrew Carnegie.

Duluth, Mimi Oct. S.-The statement
is made on what appears to be good au-
thority that John D. Rockefeller and
Andrew Carnegie are about to begin the
manufacture of iron and steel at Du-
luth and Superior. The report is to
the effect that Carnegie and Rockefeller
have pooled their interests and Will
make extensive improvements in the
plant at the head of the lakes, SO that
their output will be on par with that
of any similar plant in the country.
Mr. Rockefeller is known to have ex-
cured control of the West Superior
Iron and Steel plant and Mr. Carnegie
of the IrontOn Structural Steel com
pany's plant and the West Duluth blast
furnaces.
For some time past a number or eX-
perts have been employed at the West
Superior plant making a thorough in
vestigatiOn of it, and about three weeks
ago a party composed of officials of the
Carnegie interests made a visit to Du-
luth and vicinity, going over the ranges
and inspecting the IrOntOn plant and
blast furnace. Shortly afterward two
of the Rockefeller mines 0 nthe Mesaba
range passed into the control of Car
negie.
Mr.. Rockefeller, it is known. has had
the manufacture of steel at the head
of the lakes in mind for a long time,
prevented him from doing anything
The last legislature, however, passed a
bill providing that all iron mined and
manufactured in the state should be
exempt from royalties. This makes a
difference of 25 cents a ton and more
than saves the difference in the cost of
bringing the coke up the lakes.

BITTER CHURCH ROW.
Three Factions at Anderson, Ind,
Wage Vigorous War


Anderson, Ind, Oct. S.-A sensational
state of affairs exists in the Stewart
chapel neighborhood, east of this city.
and it is feared blood may flow at any
time.
For the past three years the Stewart
chapel congregation has been divided
into three factions on the subject of
baptism. The controversy was carried
SO far that it reached a point of per-
sOnal bitterness, and when the strong
est faction at last seized the church
there We're several clashes.
Rocks tied up in handkerchiefS as
billies were used by several rOwdies at
one meeting some months ago. Last
week the climax came, when the church
went up in smoke. The fire was clearly
of incendiary origin.
Last night the strongest faction met
at the home of Frank Skinner. The
next night his barn was destroyed by
fire of iucendiary origin, and the feel

KISS CAUSES A STRIKE.
Labor Trouble Near New Castle, Pa,
Due to Novel Cause.

New Castle, Pa. Oct S-The timers
and busters at the New Castle Tin
Plate works struck this morning be-
cause Richard Kissinger was discharg-
ed, the foreman alleging that he had
tried to kiss one of the girls employed
at the plant.
Both Kfssfnger and the girl make de-
mails and it is claimed that the foreman
reported Kissinger to the management
because he wanted to get rid of him
for other reasons. About 175 men and
boys are out and the tin mill is idle.
Kissinger is a member of the Tinmak-
ers' union, which ordered the strike. AS
the union is connected with the FEEDER
alton of Labor the latter will be asked
to sanction the odd strike.

late Emperor Napoleon, czar of Rus
sia and other dignitaries of Europe, and
who is we'll known in Cincinnati, mas
returned from the northwest, where he
went on a special mission. In speaking
of the trip DR.. Evans said:
Archbishop Ireland is recognized
throughout Europe as one of the most
advanced representatives of the RO-
man Catholic church in America We
have been in consultation regarding a
French colonization movement in the
northwest of some of the oldest and
best families in France. These noble
families were so impoverished by the
political changes that life under the old
conditions has been rendered impossi-
bic. There are thousands of other
families all over France who have just
enough to buy a moderate plot Of
ground in this country, and are anx-
ious for better opportunities than are
open to them now
Not only did DR.. Evans arrange with
Archbishop Ireland. but he also CON
suited with Bishop Whipple for the To-
cation of the Frenchmen.

The Beautiful Young Cuban
Girl Prisoner
Who Has Won the Sympathy of
Women Everywhere
MAKES HER ESCAPE.
When Prison Roll Was Called
She Was Gone.
Iron Bar Across Her Cell Win
dow Was Filed.

Havana, Oct. S.-The beautiful young
Cuban patriot, Senorita Evangelina
Cossio Y Cisneros, heroine of the sensa-
tional adventure with the Spanish gov
ernOr of the Island of Pines, has es-
capped from the Casa De Rogerdiz
(hOuse of scrapings) where she had
been confined for several months on
charge Of conspiracy against the Grown
of Spain and of an attempt upon the
life of the Governor of the Isle of Pines
According to the statement of the
jailers, or attendants, she made her es-
cape some time in the night. At morn
ing roll call she was missing, and when
search was made for her, the attend
ants found that one of the iron bars
of the room in which she had been con-
fined had been filed and bent outward.
The bar could not have been moved
except by a great outlay of strength,
and all the circumstances go to prove
the cooperation of outsiders in her es-
cape. The authorities have not yet Sc
cured any clue as to the whereabouts
of Senorita Evangelina.
Several of the employees of the es-
adjustment have been arrested.

Damaging Testimony in the Trial of
Mrs. Atkinson for Forgery.

Glenville, W. Va, Oct Sup to this
time q witnesses have been examined
by the prosecution in the Atkinson for
gerry trial, in progress here.
A dramatic incident was the introduce
ton of John Morris, a blind man, very
old, but intelligent as a witness for the
prosecution.
Norris stated that he was a neighbor
and friend of Owens. who is jointly in
dicted with Mrs. Atkinson and that in

time after Judge Camden's death,

Camden and had fully adjusted his
land affairs and received from Mrs.
Camden, now Mrs. Atkinson, a receipt
for $40 more than the price of the land.
The witness was followed by others
who related conversations with Owens
of similar statements. The receipts
mentioned are the ones alleged to have
been forged by Mrs. Atkinson and used
by Owens.
The session yesterday was devoted to
examination of witnesses as to the pc
cuniary condition of Owens for the
purpose of establishing that Owens at
no time could have paid the amount of
money shown by the receipts.
A sensation was sprung by the pros
ecutiOn when they introduced George
w. Davidson and offered in evidence
receipts purp0rting to have been given
in the name of Judge Camden to Dav-
idsOn in 1889. Davidson stated on the
stand that the receipts were written,
signed and delivered to him by Mrs.
Atkinson about three years after the
death of Judge Camden.

Concerns Make Terms.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 8.-Eugene Wuest-
hoff, secretary of the Schhtz Brewing
company, returned last night from Chi
cago, where he attended a conference of
the representatives of the leading brew
ing concerns of the west. He said it was
decided at the meeting to reduce the price
of beer in Chicago to the low price of g
a barrel. This price is to be put into
effect at the end of a week unless the
small concerns decide prior to that time
to enter into an agreement to keep up
the price of the beverage
Mr. Wuesthoff intimated that unless the
small concerns are willing to cooperate
with the larger brewing companies in this
matter the former will be practically
wiped out of existence through the beer
war whic hit is intended to declare.

RATHER DIE THAN NORK.
An Obstinate Wisconsin Convict
N arly Starves.

Milwaukee, Oct. S.-The state prison Of
fciaIs have been confronted with one Of
/ the most remarkable cases of Obstinacy
on record and one that it is doubtful if
it can be equalled anywhere. Some months
ago the officials received Milwaukee
man under a years sentence, and about
the first thing that he did was to inform
the officials that he did not intend. to
work and that he would not work. He
said he had been in the prison before and,
as he put it. made a fool of himself by
working twenty-one months in order to
secure his release three months earlier
by good time. This trip. he said, he did
not intend to work. and he resoIutely sat
down on anything convenient when work
was assigned him.
The dark room of the prison has never
failed TO bring the most obstreperous
prisoner to time, but for this individual
X had no terrors. When he was put into
the dungeon the bread and water fare did
not trouble him much, but he astonished
the prison officials by absolutely refusing
to eat at all. This was accepted as
bluff. but the prisoner was as good as his
word, and he refused to eat anything for
so long a time that the officials became
fearful that he would starve to death.
The pangs of hunger seem not to have
affected him in any way, and certainly
did not imbue him with a desire to es-
cape by working. He did not even re-
lent sufficiently to eat the bread that was
placed before him. And it made no diff
ference what else was offered, he refused,
and persisted in his refusal until he be-
came so weak that the prison physician
was obliged to have him removed to the
hospital for fear that he would actually
carry out his threat of starving to death
rather than work He is now in the hos
pital recuperating, while the prison Off
cials are anxiously waiting for the time
to come when they can throw open the
prison doors and let him depart.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. 1t
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it dangerous he
took immediate steps to bring about
speedy cure. From the advertisement
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in
cluded therein, we concluded to make
a first trial of the medicine. To say that
it was satisfactory in it's results is
putting it very mildly indeed. It acted
like magic and the result was a speedy

Mrs Mehle gave birth to a boy two
years ago who only weighed three
pounds.
He was also a healthy youngster but
when five months old he died from an
