GRAPHING WITH A TRUST.

1t now seems probable that the Ar
buckles, aided by the rebellious grocers,
will be enabled to renew their fight with
the sugar trust In the coffee war,
which was instituted by the Havemey-
ers,to break down Arbuclxle and prevent
him from starting a sugar refinery,
the latter was Worsted and the contest
was fastened to a close, perhaps, by
the big fire at Louisville, which de-
stroyed much of the machinery which
was to have been used in the new re-
fnery.
The ArbuckIes never reIinquished
their scheme of starting a sugar re-
finery, and have been pushing the work
on two which will have a capacity of
5000 barrels a day. When the news
reached them that the Hoyt company
Of Chicago had rebelled against the
trust orders were given for three shifts
of worImen highland day and seven
days in the week on all the buildings,
SO that they may be completed in
April.
The W. NJ. Hoyt company of Chicago
has caused a sensation by reviving the
old struggle against the sugar trust,
in which the company was obliged to
surrender several years ago. An agree
ment between the Wholesale Grocers'
company has been in force for some
years. under which the price of sugar
throughout the entire country was
made uniform, regardless of distance
from the source of supply and all other
conditions. The trust delivers any
quantity of sugar at any point named
at the same price, 1000 miles or a mile
and half from the factory, and allows
the grocers to make a uniform profit of
3-16 Of a cent a pound, the grOcers enter
ing into an agreement not to sell for less
than the rate so fixed. The Hoyts stood
out against this arrangement for a long
time, but finally submitted in 1895 be-
cause they were forced into it. Now
they have broken away again, and
have notified the trade in New York
that they have cut prices Is of a. cent.
1t is reported that several other firms
in the west have followed their example
and more are likely to do so, because
the trust has ordered all its customers
to meet the cut at their own expense
and declines to share in the loss Sugar
will therefore be sold at Il of a cent a
pound less than formerly, but the whole
salers will make a profit of only 1-16
instead of 3-16 Of a cent a pound
The result of the Hoyt announcement
was raid on sugar certificates in the
stock market, which have been tumb-
ling rapidly for the last two or three
weeks on war news. The officers of the
trust have issued a, circular to the effect
that the withdrawal Of the Hoyts is a
matter of no Importance and will have
no effect upon their business.
If the war shall extend through the
fruit canning season it will mean the
saving of much money to the consum-
ers.

COOPERATIVE LIVING.
Nine Families of Burton Settle the
Food Question in a Bellamy
Manner

Burton, March 23.-Nine of the most
staid and respectable families in Burr
ton, have thrown away their stove lids
and packed their dishes on the useless
stoves. Whether they have imbibed
somewhat of the restless something
new spirit of their maternal COM
monwealth or not, they have shocked
the ordinary ideas of economic propri-
ETY., and have formed a cooperative
living association, wherein the food
question is settled upon a cooperative
basis.
Burton is a small village located in
the midst of a, farming community, it
has no opportunity for importing choice
land products. The size OF the town
does not warrant the location of a ba-
kerry and all the wheat stuff must be
bought from the neighbOring cities.
AS a consequence of the limited pOpula-
ton, there is a very small supply of
hired help, even smaller than the limit
ed demand. The heavy burdens of the
household fall upon the housewife
alone, and very little social intercourse
can be enjoyed. In such a condition of
affairs, the Cooperative Living aSSOci-
alton was organized for the economic
and social benefit of its members. In
order to insure a reliable, orthodox
reputation, the association has enrolled
among its members bankers, merch-
ants, druggists and a representative
preceptOr and dominic.
The practical advantages of the club
may be noted as follows: First, the
saving of from fifteen to twenty-five
hours of Kitchen worry per week.
Second, the providing of well cooked
and well served meals, ranging in cost
from ~ cents to 9 cents per meal.
1t may be we'll to note that the low
rents ($8 per month for an eight room
house, and the comparatively low wa
ges paid to the cook ($25 per month,
with use of house, and with board for
herself and family of three children
may not be duplicated in larger towns.
A purchasing committee of three
members buys the provisions: grocer
les at wholesale rates, meat by the
quarter and side, and all provisions in
correspondingly large quantities. An
other member acts as treasurer, and
all bill are paid promptly every Mon
day morning for the week ending the
Saturday previous.
The real disadvantages, and those
likely to be met, may be Specified
careless cook, big rents, unsuitable
building, distance of home to club
house and monotony of living away
from the home board.
To sum up, for cents per meal, the
heat and worry of the kitchen are
avoided; hired help is largely dispensed
with; greater variety is provided with
a smaller outlay of labor and money,
and apart from the economic value Of
a months living being reduced to
S72O, there is a social feature that
makes meal time a, feast of fellowship,
as well as an aIleviator to the pangs of
hunger.

MUSIC OF COWBOYS

Abilene, March 23.-The opening ses-
sion of the first annual convention OF the
Kansas Cattlemen's association was
held yesterday, and there was gathered
most enthusiastic audience of cattle
men from all parts of the state, central
and western Kansas being most gener-
Ously represented. The convention is
for the purpose of making the cattle
men better acquainted and to give
them chance to work for each others
J. G. Mccoy, the cowboy-time mayor,
is prominent, and the old timers are
glad to see him. They gave him re-
cept1On at the Central hotel last night,
and speeches were made recalling the
old times. He was mayor of Abilene
when wild BilI' was marshal, and
started the cattle trail in the direction
of this city. He found only two or
three of the old saloon buildings still
standing. He will lecture on The Cat
tie Trail tonight, and E. G. Little will
make preliminary address.
President Joseph White called the
convention to order with few remarks
on the object of the meeting. Rev F.
S. Blayney made the address of well
come, which was responded to by J. w
Robinson, of Ell Dorado.
Then followed business meeting
with a discussion of the benefits of
state organization, introduced by Sec
rotary G. A. Rogers. The cattlemen
propose to make the association of bene-
fit in getting better transportation
rates, according to the discussion which
followed. It was decided to postpone
the election of officers until Wednesday
afternoon.
In the afternoon in the opera house
Secretary F. D. Coburn, of the state
board of agriculture, made the princi-
pal address, speaking on kansas for
Stockmen."
One of the most interesting discus
siOns of the day was that on the cattle
situation in Kansas by all the mem
bers, led by Eugene Rust, traffic man
ager of the Kansas City stock yards,
and J. w Robinson, of Ell Dorado. 1t
was agreed that there are too many
feeders paying prices that are not war
ranted by the price of fat stock. The
price on the range is too high, and the
feeders were urged to be careful, and
not to get too heavily burdened with
stock.
Best Breeds for Beef was handled
by different breeders, and the advant-
ages of each breed given.
Last night the principal address was
by Eugene Rust, of Kansas City, who
talked of the governments work for the
live stock interests. George NJ. Nun
Lynch, formerly of this state, but now
of Colorado, made talks on the relations
of shippers to the stock yards and rail-
roads. Munger attacked both, and
Lynch defended them. A lively inter
est is taken in the coming business
meeting, as then the State Live Stock
association members will try to COM
bine this association with theirs. 1t is
believed that the organizations will,
however, be kept separate.
A feature of the convention is the G..
G. Gillett Cowboy band, which attract
ed so much attention in the recent con-
VentiOns at Fort Worth and Woodward.

CANYASBACKS FOR HIM.
Thirteen Pairs Shipped to the Kaiser
From Baltimore.

Baltimore. March 23.-Emperor Will
liam, of Germany, recently sent an or
der to America for fifteen pairs of con-
vas back ducks. The order was re-
ceived by A. Schumacher & Co., and
they commissioned Messrs. A. D. Ses-
sions & Co., to procure the ducks in
time to be shipped by the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer from New York.
The limited time allowed would not
permit Messrs. Sessions to procure the
full number of canvas-back ducks, ow-
ing to the lateness of the season, but
they managed to secure thirteen pairs
and a, half, and made up the difference
with redheadS.
The method of packing, which has
been found to be successful by Messrs.
Sessions, is to suspend the ducks by
their legs around the inside edge of
willow baskets with their heads resting
on the bottom. Ten ducks are placed
in each basket, and that number does
away with the danger of the ducks be-
ing bruised in transit and also leaves
sufficient room for the circulation of
air.

four associates in the Honduras syndi-
cate, reached this city yesterday from
Galveston, having come from a visit to
Mexico and Central America

Cortez to the inland and will be pushed
to the Southern Pacific coast.
Mr.. Valentine would not say how
much capital the Honduras syndicate
represented, but stated that the subsidy

amount to about half a million acres of
land.

MILLS TO MOVE TO GEORGIA
An Agent of the Big Lowell Cotton
Factory Said to Be Looking
For q Site

Atlanta, Ca, March 23.-It is said on
good authority here that the Merrimac
mills of Lowell, Mass, one of the largest
and oldest cotton manufacturing plants in
the New England states, will be moved
to Georgia Mr.. Pead, who is represent
ing the Merrimac mills, was at Powder
Springs today, and it is said that a deal
has been practically contaminated for the
establishment of a cotton mill to employ
four hundred operatives at that place at
once. This plant will manufacture the
grades of goods now made exclusively by
the Merrimac mills in Lowell, and in the
meantime the immense plant will be
moved from New England to Powder
Springs or some other site in Georgia to
be decided upon.
Mr. Pead has been in Georgia several
days, and in company with Mr.. Best, the
southern industrial agent, has visited
several points looking for a location for
the mills.

MISS CORELLI'S GRIEVANCE
A Rector Declines to Decorate His
Churchyard With Her Ad-

fresh grievance. Mr.. Norman, the old
sexton at Coombe Martin, recently died
He was the literary model of several

Dale in Miss Corellfs 1.-The Mighty
Atom
Miss Coreln announced her intention to
erect monument to his memory, and for
warded instructions to the vicar of the
parish that the monument must be
plain cross and instead of the name Nor
man must bear the name Reuben Dale,
with a note explaining that Reuben was
the hero immortalized in 1.-The Mighty

The rector, evidently cleric of much
logic and little imagination, observed in
response that in consigning the sexton to
earth he buried man, not myth;
moreover his churchyard is not available

HALE HOUSE GUESTS.
Are All Accounted for Except Four,
by the Management.

Butte, Mont, March 23.-The manage
ment of the Hale House claim to have
accounted for all but four of those sup
posed to have been asleep there at the
time OF the fire They are: Frank Krieg-
baum. Daniel Sullivan Martin Rooney
and Tom Starr.
Starr, according to the information con-
yeyed to the police, occupied a room on
the fourth floor. He arrived in the city
from Leadville only the day previous to
the fire and had engaged lodging at the
Hale House upon his arrival in the city.
Starr had been drinking on the eve of
the fire and had retired to his room in an
intoxicated condition It is believed
Starr was in such condition of helpless
ness that he could not have escaped per
fishing in the flames.
Kriegbaum came here only two weeks
ago from Park City, Utah. and was work
ing as a miner at the Moonlight mine. His
friends have seen nothing of him since the
fire.
The other two were residents Of Butte,
but out Of work.

RICH TURQUOISE MINES.
Discovery of Precious Stones and
Prehistoric Race in California

San Francisco, March 23.-Down in the
southeast corner of San Demanding coun-
ty tremendously rich abandoned tur-
quoise mines of a prehistoric people have
been discovered. There are large depos-
race that is believed to have been the
Aztec race. 1t is believed that from this
spot the Aztecs drew their store of tur-
quoise jewels. The discovery was made
by an expedition which left this city
few weeks ago.
The mines are sixty miles back from
Marvel in a wild, mountainous country.
1t seems to have been the center of vol
canic disturbances at one time. 1t is in
the valleys between the precipttous canon
walls that the turquoise mines are found.
on the hillsides there are hundreds of
abandoned pits which now show as mere
saucer-like holes. On digging in these
places numerous stone hammers and other
stone implements were found, and, above
all, plenty of turquoise. A few of these
are worth 500 each. Five and ten dollar
stones can be found by the dozen.

KANSAS DUST STORM.
Morton County Afflicted With a Bad
Storm

Norton, March 23.-The worst dust
storm of years has ragged here for two
days past. The storm came from the
northeast and moved in a solid wall
of dust The drOuth which has prevail
ed here for the last few weeks made
the time especially propitious for this
remarkable storm in the land of dust
storms.
1t first became visible about 4 o'clock,
when a hazy hue appeared in the north
ern sky. It's course could be traced by
an ever increasing cloud for about 80
minutes when it burst upon the city,
blotting out all objects with the suffo
eating, binding dust. Its equal has not
been known since 1895.
