WHISKY TAKES A DROP
TRTsT CUTS THE PRICE TO $1.22,
A REDUCTION OF FOUR CENTS
A GALLON
FIGHTING THE INDEPENDENTS
Iong-Threatened War Is Finally On
Action of the Trust creates
Much Excitement In Business Cir
cIes-Quotations of the Organized
Interests Recognized as ohc'al
by Board of Trade.

PEORIA. ILL.,, Sept. lon the board
of trade today whisky was quoted at $l.zz
gallon. this price being on the basis
of finished goods. Inasmuch as the mar
Let has practically stood at SIPS on the
same basis for over year, the suoueh
decline of a cents is not only sensational
but is regarded as very signlhcant. II Is
the trust product that is held on the
Peoria board, so the change is authorized
by the Whisky Company OF America tiie
gigantic combination of all the trust
houses recently formed, and the onlcers
of which were elected only few days
ago.
While those men who are directly iden-
tilted with the affairs of the trust are
not disposed to admit it, a number OF men
who keep in close touch with the WHISKY
market say this sudden move is the De
ginning of a hard fight with the lnde-
nendent houses. III the past year the
whisky market has seen some Slight
fluctuations, but a decline OF cents mas
not happened for long time. In TACT 1t
is such a decided innovation that the
hoard of trade men, and more particular
w the dfstiIlers. are making it their chief
topic of conversation.
About a year ago there was fight on
between the trust and the Independents,
and for several days it was a struggle to
see which element would furnish the OF
fetal quotation, and what the quotation
should be- After a general seesawing
the trust price was recognized as of1cial,
and has since been quoted exclusively.
Since that time there has bee~ COM
parative calm, and the price has hover
ed very close to the SIPS mark. But with
the reorganization of the trust interests
it is without warning this phenomenal
drop in the price comes. Various inter
pretations are put on 1t. Commercial
men not personally interested do not hes
itate in giving the opinion that the price
is cut by the trust In order to compete
with the Independents or, In other words,
the independent houses have made such
sacrifices in order to cut into the trusts
business that the latter is compelled to
quote less prices SO as to retain it's pat

Date E1NeO Tor heleas1hE the ReS-
iment From Service Is Sept. 90
In the Meantime the Volunteers
of Duty-AII of the Sick Are Do
ing Nicely.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The North
Dakota men spent today quietly at the
Preside and have again settled down to
the routine of camp life. The camp In
which the men are now stationed is
model one. All the tents have floors
and stoves, and there are sidewalks run
ming the whole length of the company
streets, with Il separate one for each
tent. Straw beds have been provided
each man, together with feather pillows.
Thirty men were told off for guard duty
yesterday afternoon, but this number
was lessened this afternoon, and most
of the men will be given the fullest
amount of liberty. There may be a few
drills later on, just enough to afford
the men the necessary exercise, but this
is yet undetermined. At any rate there
will be no more hard work. Even the po-
Icing of the camp is looked after by
civilians, and all the men have to do
from now on will be to cook their food
and eat it.
1t was announced this morning that
the First North Dakota men will be
mustered out of service Sept. %. Sept
and the ordnance officers will be at the
Preside to receive the arms now in the
possession of the men. Work has been
begun on the preparation of the muster
rolls and everything will be ready by
the time the date set for leaving the
service arrives.
This morning Col. Truemann called the
officers together and gave them full and
explicit directions as to the routine to
be observed in preparing for the final
muster-out.
The sick belonging to the regiment are
doing well, and it is now thought that
every one in the hospital will recover.
The North Dakotans speak in terms
of commentator of the work done by
the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment. The
two regiments were together on only
one occasion, but the Dakotans say the
Minnesota men made an excellent repu-
tation for themselves while on the firing
line as we'll as while they were doing
police duty in the city.
About twenty Minnesota convalescents
have received discharge papers and will

SAVED FROM THE LAKE.
Affair at Calhoun Which Possesses
Elements of Mystery.

On Wednesday evening, Fred Hall and
q companion, who were sailing on Lake
Calhoun, rescued a man and woman
struggling in the water. The couple had
been rowing, and the woman had either
thrown herself into the lake or had fallen
in, while her companion had jumped in
to rescue her. When the two were saved
by Hall and his comrade, both were
nearly exhausted, and could not have
kept up much longer
Samuel NJ. Ewing, the proprietor of
boat livery at Lake Calhoun, stated last
evening that the story given by the
couple was to the effect that the woman
had fallen in accidentally. Others give
a different version of the affair, and say
that the woman deliberately tried to
drown herself. After being rescued the
couple borrowed dry clothing at near
by house, where the woman was S2ard

remark occasioned the belief that the
woman had attempted suicide.
The woman in question is the wife OF
a wellknown travelling man. and her COM
panion was said to be the uncle of her
husband.

BITES OF ANIMALS.
Almost Incredible Jaw Power Pos
sessed by Some.

SeSsed by Some.
Apart from the concomitant danger of
blood poisoning, the severity Of the bites
of feSh-eating animals is out of all pro-
portion to the weapons by which they are
inflicted. The teeth, even of the largest
carnivora, are merely The ''spearheads,"
but the force which works" these n
struments is prodigious. 1t seems as if
for the moment the animal threw all its
bodily energy into the combination of
muscular action which we call a bite
In most cases the mere shock of impact
as the animal hurls itself on it's enemy
is entirely demoralizing, or intlicts pIysi-
cal injury. muzzled 1nastif will hurl

fasten it's teeth in his throat or shoulder.
Then, the driving and CRUSHING force OF
the jaw muscles is astonishing. The
swapping power of an alligator's jaws is
more or less Ineligible. They are long
and furnished with row OF pointed teeth
from end to end. But the Jaws of a ion,
leopard, tiger otter, ferret or baboon are
short, and the long and pointed teeth are
few. Yet each Of their species has a bit
Ing power which in proportion to its
size is almost incredible.
Sir Samuel Baker, Who had n long and
varied acquaintance with the bites of the

and with one jaw on ole side AMI the
other on the other bit clear through the
chest and back "rhe fatal wound was
tho bite, which, through back and chest,
penetrated to the lungs" Europeans are
killed by the tigers bite as well as LAGER
ated by its claws. A Mr.. Lawes, son of
a missionary Of that name, was killed
after being shaken for few moments by
a tigress, which then left him. He died
next day. In nearly all cases the bite
penetrates the lungs. This kind of wound
is characteristic of the attacks of many
of the felidae. Scarcely any bird RECEIVERS
