BLOW TO THE CANAL
Report From Washington That
100000 Appropriation Will
Be Cut Off.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS MAY SUFFER
Money Recommended for Work
On Mississippi River
Next Year.

1t is intimated in an ASCOT
ated Press dispatch from Washington
that the proposed appropriation OF
$1,000. 600 for the Hennepin canal the
ensuing year will be cut out of the
river and harbor bill. 1t is also
claimed other provements in Hi
nois will be retarded as a result of the
desire of congress to shave down the
bill and turn the money to what are
CLAIMED to be more urgent needs. 1t
would certainly be regretted if work on
the Hennepin canal were to be de-
layed a year. This improvement has
been carried to the point where II
seems folly for the government to
seek to throw cold water on it. The
three cities should unite, and at once,
and demand of their representatives
that they direct their batteries on the
committeeman and convince them
that they are making a grevious er-
ror in trying to interfere with the
progress of this important work.
For the MIssIssIppI.

pleted at Washington last night, aP,

teams stated that II was an exhibition
game between the Kirkwoods and the
South End Athletic club.
Before the game the manager of
each team made statements TO the
crowd. Each accused the other of
playing ringers" Manager Hunsick-

ringers on his team, but claimed that

Of powder are frequently noticed to-

left hand 30 badly mangled that it
was amputated, \ ramrod struck him
in the mouth knocking out several
teeth.
Frank Honeywell, of Bluff ST., had
his face filled with powder by the ex-
posion of II toy 'cannon. The grains
were removed from his face by a sur
geon. 1t Is believed that he will not
suffer any serious consequences.
DR.. j. p. Boyd attended an unknown
Italian on Otto St, Wednesday, morn

which made it dangerous to passersby.

Price OF Cattle.

Will the price of cattle keep up?
That is very live question just
now, in which the whole western
country is interested. That more
meat is being consumed by the b usy
American people than ever before IS
an established fact. And ii pros per-
ity and plenty of labor at 90 cd
wages continues, there would seem
TO be every reason for beef cattle to
remain at good prices. In discass.
ing this question a writer in the
Sioux City Journal furnishes these
figures:
Now let Us compare the situati on
as to supply and probable demand.
The estimated population OF this
country in 1892 was 90, 403, 900 peo-
Pile; in 1899 it was 74,14S, 900, an
increase OF 1915, 900, or a trifFie
more than II per cent. Thenumber
Oh Deer cattle IN the United States in
1892 was 81. 615, 239, and in 1899.
27,994, 22o, being a decrease OF o.
657, OLA head or about 20 per cent.
Here we have an increased capacity
Tor consumption Of ID per cent aad
q decrease In quantity TO draw from
70 per cent, or differences OF 40 per
cent. in other words, in 1892 we
had one beef animal to evere IL per-
sons IN the country, and today we
nave one beef animal to every ~ per-
sons. This condition ofaifairs must
necessarily increase prices, / find
during the same time the number OF
swine has decreased from SO 1893, 900
in 1892 to 1861 ,631 in 1899, a
loss OF Ia, 745,3SS, and sheep from
"A, 7l6,3G5 in 1892 to 3o.11f, 463,
a loss of 5,S23,ol2.
