STORM IN SCOTLAND.
A Terrific Gale Sweeps Over the
Northwest Coast

ABERDEEN (Scotland), Aug. ia
terrific storm swept over the Scotch
coast last night at Frazerburgh, town
thirty-seven miles north of this place
on the northeast coast; 800 fishing craft
were caught in the gale. A life-boat
was sent to their assistance. The crew
of the Diadem of Cullen, a town on
Cullen Bay North Sea), were saved by
the gallantry of James Brown, dis
charged Dargi hero, who swan to the
boat with a line. When this line had
been fastened to the endangered craft
the spectators who gathered on the
shore dragged the Diadem through the
surf and landed her safely Fears are
entertained for the fishing fleet.
The schooner Pioneer, from Sunder-
land to Banff, thirty EIGHT miles north
of Aberdeen, with a cargo of coal, is
ashore, and it is feared that she will
become a total wreck. The life-saving
brig is trying to render assistance.

Raisin Growers Alarmed.

FRESNO, Aug. 1.-THE cool weather
of the past two or three weeks is caus-
ing the raisin growers of this section
considerable anxiety. The severe frosts
late this spring shortened the first crop
of grapes to quite an extent, and the
cool weather lately has held the ripen-
ing back from three to four weeks. In
some localities picking will commence
the middle of next week, but in other
places it will be two weeks yet before
the grapes will be sufficiently ripe to
pick This will make the curing season
so late that there will be danger OF

this statement. According to his usual
custom, he asked not to be quoted df-

that no one who heard him talk can
believe that he could be induced to take

home trade although there are as many
cattle for the market as ever.
There is no real shortage in mar
ketable cattle, all reports to the con-
trary notwithstanding. The receipts
at the yards in Kansas City, Omaha
and Chicago yesterday were large.
1.-The foreign demand being very
heavy, as | explained, the prices to
cattle dealers as we'll as to butchers,
are high. The packers are not reaping
any great rewards. The recent heavy
shipments to the cattle yards may ease
the strain a little, but 1 do not look
for lower prices.
1.-The remedy for competing butchers
is simple. They must raise prices. 1
have not heard any complaints from
consumers The butchers are complain
ing and they must work out their sal
vation by getting more money for their
beef
'"They must get together and keep
up their prices with the general adj
vance if they really want to protect
themselves"
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Record"
says: Investigation at the stock yards
in regard to the recent advances in the
price of beef brought out the state
ment that never before in the history of
the American cattle market has there
been such a demand for all kinds of
meat as at the present time. The de-
mand for export cattle is enormous.
The statement is made that the prices
of all cattle viii be higher next year
than they are now, but in three years,
when all the thousands of feeders find
their way into the market, there is
likely to be a slump of from to 3
cents This year Kansas has 100000
head of cattle. which is record break
er for that State. The big ranches in
Montana, Wyoming, North and South
Dakota are sending cattle at present.
Most benefited by the increase in prices
is the stock raiser. At present every
things costs more alive than formerly,
making it necessary for the packers
to advance the prices on all dressed
meats. The prices quoted yesterday
to local butchers were cents a pound
for best straight beef in the whole car
cas- and 49, cents a pound for loins and
ribs. when together in even sets. One
lot of sixty barrels of the latter was
sold at 1919 cents pound. All other
meats have been more or less affected.
Prices have gone up in pork, mutton,
veal and all dried and smoked meats.

CAUSE OF RISE IN BEEF PRICES
American Packers Trying to Drive
Australian Meats Out of Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA representa-
tive of the firm of Nelson. Morris & Co.,
when asked as to the cause of the rise
in the price of beef. said to a World
reporter:
THE advance here is caused by the
efforts of American packers to drive
Australian beef from the English mar
kets and establish American beef in
stead. We want that business. and in
order to secure it we are shipping i'm
mense quantities of beef to England.
Just now the business abroad is be-
ing carried on at a heavy loss because
we are cutting prices to kill competi-
ton.
THE consequence is that the export
of American beef is much heavier than
ever before. Naturally under these
conditions there is less. beef for the

clothing store of Mayor Morgan of this

point blank at the officer twice at a dis
tance of only ten feet. One bullet went
through Hoffman's hat, and the second

FIND LIZARDS IN THE WATER
Men at the Sterling Factory Decided to
Drink Beer in the Future.

Water is tabooed at the Sterling
factory. Not that the employees of
the bicycle works are not temperate
enough but if they must have snakes
they prefer to have them with the
usual accompaniment of drinking
from the flowing bowl. The thing that
caused all this commotion was the fact
that when one of the men at the
factory went to take drink last Sat-
urday he dicovered in the water a
lizard fully seven inches in legth and
a little over an inch in width. Shortly
after the animal was found in the
water drawn from a common hydrant
it was sent to this office with the fol
lowing letter:
Kenosha, Wis.,, Oct. Twill you
blame a man for drinking (beer) when
such freaks as this are found in the
drinking water of this city. A very
narrow escape indeed had one of our
employees when going to take a drink
of water today.
Will you kindly name the freak and
also call Health Officer C1eary's atten-
ton to it and ask him to have the users
a little more careful in the future.
Yours respectfully,

FISH sHANTIEs TO GO.
Chicago Yacht Members Make Purchases
of Docks in the Kenosha Harbor.

OF DOCKS In the Aen0sna Harb0r.
The Kenosha harbor is to be made
the rendezvous of the Chicago Yacht
Club for following closely on the pur-
chases made by Commodore Fred Morgan
of the Moder & Shearer docks it is re-
ported today that Commodore Charles
Whitley, of Muncie, Ind, has just
closed a deal for the purchase of the
docks owned by the estate of Albert
Borkenhagen. The docks are situated
directly opposite the Morgan docks and
are considered very valuable property.
They will be used for yacht purposes.
It is not improbable that the docks
will be improved in a manner similar
to the docks owned by Mr.. Morgan.
One thing is certain and that is that
the old fish shanties which have stood
for SO many years along these docks
will be removed. The sale of the docks
will be a hard blow to the fishermen
and it may be that this will mark the
close of the fishing industry in the
city. No other docks are available for
the use of the fishing tugs at present.
is one Of the best known members of
the Chicago Yacht club. He is an
enthusiastic sportsman. He owns and
sails some of the fastest yachts on the
lake and for some years past has
wintered the beautiful boats in the
Chicago river. It is reported that
other Chicago and Indiana men are
negotiating for property along the
habor but as yet no other deals have
been announced. One of the men in
terested in the sale of the Borkenhgaen
property stated this afternoon that the
deal had not as yet been concluded but
that minor details were to be arranged
and that the deal would be closed in the
next few days. The docks will be
turned over to the new owners at once.
It is very probable that some effort
will now be made to improve the river
above the island bridge and for the
erection of a swinging bridge at this
point.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
Steam Heat Will Be Turned Into the
Mains of the Heating Plant Next Week.


The managers of the Kenosha Heat
ing plant announce that their system
in the city is practically completed and
that the water will be turned in all
parts of the city in the early part of
next week. The mains have all been
laid except the line along Deming
street, and this line will not be laid
until later, on account of the. fact that
the consumers in this part of the city
are not as yet ready to have the heat
turned on. The machinery for the
working of the plant has all been re-
ceived and placed in position at the
power house. The machinery consists
of two large condensers and two pumps
each having the same capacity as the
large pumps used at the public water
works station The company will not
put in an independent plant at the
present to supply the hot water, but
will use the exhaust steam from the
engines connected with the lighting
plant. Manager Schott announces that
the company have been very successful
in securing customers and that the
plant will start in operation with a
total of 18 customers. Some the Gus
toners are large consumers and the
business is very encouraging. Mr..

for the people to see the value of the
system and as soon as this was seen it
