 voted to this. The meat Is sliced and pack ed by girls, 75 being employed in this room An average of S0,000 cans are sent out a day. Recently the various plants have been experimenting with glass cans. They afford the customer view of what he buys and in that way command a better price, but they have not as yet been per- fected so that the meat keeps as well as in the tin.
 A considerable portion of the product Is shipped in barrels. There will always be a demand for more or less meat put up i'll this way. The burlapping method of pre- pairing the meat is fast going out of style Tt is fading industry" said Foreman W. G. Houle. "The demand for canned goods Is carrying everything before 1t. Since have been with the Libby Company the amount put up in this way has shrunk, until there Is but small fraction of the meat sewed up in the cloth in comparison with the quantity that was done up that way five years ago."

Colossal Smokehouses Daily Preserve
 Tons of Meat at Stockyards
 From the Chicago Daily News.
 If China Is pArtitioned, the Boers con- quered and the Fiipinos pacif1ed the smoke nf battle may blow away, but the smoke that cures meats at the Union stockyards will continue to wend its way out of the bg ovens. Armour & CO.,, Swift 6 Co.,, and Nelson Morris & Co.,, send out to all points of the globe an immense quantity of this meat. Libby, MoNeal & Libby alone ship approximately 100000 pounds in a c1onth. Every one who was born in the cuunt6y and every city boy who has visited farm remembers the little old-fashioned smoke house. A grim, suffocating place, where the juvenile adventurer with record for de- htruction found his Waterlo. A few chunks of meat within, attached by stout cord to the roof of the house, and enough holes In the top to allow the smoke to creep slowly out-these the boy remembers. And this was the prototype of "houses" that are used to prepare meat for the world.
 When beef is brought out of the pickling cellars 1t Is taken to the "soak-rooms." In the Libby plant there are 106 hogsheads ready for the meat The meat Is allowed to soak in fresh water until all the salt is out of it. The big casks are then emptied, filled once more with fresh water and the meat given another soaking. From the same room iron doors lead into the brick smokehouses, where the meat Is cured. There are IS of these houses. Each has a capacity of 125 barrels of meat. There are from 22 to 26 pieces to the barrel. The temperature of the houses when the meat Is hung up is 1SO degrees. The smoke surgss up in great smothering waves from the kilns below. It takes seven days to place a lot of meat in one of the houses, smoke 1t and get 1t out.
 There are three methods of putting up smoked meat-canning, barrelling and lap ping. Most of 1t is canned. Libby, McNeal

SAFFORD'S SUCCESSOR.
He Will Be Chosen at Primary
Tomorrow.

The Republican primary in the Thirty
eighth representative district, which in
cludes the First and Second wards, oak
land and Tecumseh township, will be
held tomorrow afternoon
The contest has been narrowed down
to two men, M. c. Holman, president
of the Commercial club, and J. B. Belts.
city councilman. Both men live in
North Topeka. Mr.. Holman has always
been a promoter of the interests of To-
pelSa, and though he has a large business
he has freely given of his time and
money to help boom Topeka. Mr..
Belts has been less active in public life,
but is a successful contractor.
1t is seldom that man like Mr.. Hol-
man will consent to serve the interests
of the people in the legislature, and
when he does he ought to have the right
of way. While nothing can be said
against Mr.. Belts, it is evident that Mr.
Holman can best subserve the interests
of the city and he ought to be nomi-
mated and elected.
The people are tired of the Baker
Burton controversy, and it ought to be
kept out of this contest. The represen-
tative will probably have a chance to
vote for a third man, and he ought to
be free to do so. Mr.. Holman entered
the race at the suggestion of Congress
man Curtis which means that he would
undoubtedly vote for Curtis for United
States senator. He is a strong personal
friend Of Mr. Curtis. Mr.. Belts is also
to feel relieved that they will be able
to vote tomorrow without having to
take a part in the tiresome Baker
Burton fight.

for the Republican primaries in the
Thirty-eig representative district to-

CUT TOO DEEP.
Cabinet Considers 100000
Tax Reduction Too Great.

Washington, ec.EThe cabinet meet.
ing today was largely devoted to a DIS
cussfon of the question OF coinage for the
Philippine islands and as a result, II IS
probable that the secretary of war VIII
request a hearing on the subject before
one of the committees of congress. Near
~ all Of the business of the islands is
transacted in Mexican dollars and army
commissaries and other supplied with
United States money are at times great
~ embarrassed in making purchases
from the Filipinos, by the fact, that
knowing nothing of our money or its
value. the latter often refuse to accept
it. The proposition which seems to have
met with favor by the administration is
to purchase silver bullion at the present
market price and coin it into distinctive
dollars having a gold value of about SO
cents each. These dollars probably will
contain little less silver than the pres
ent standard dollars. The scheme has
not yet been worked out in all of its
details, but as there is at present gov
eminent coinage mint in Manila, it IS
hoped that by the early action of con-
gress the new coins may be put in cir
culation before great while, possibly
before the winter is over.
The cabinet also discussed the house
bill revising the war revenue act which
proposes a cut Of about $40,000,000 in the
revenues.
There is no difference of opinion
among the members of the administra-
ton this subject all thinking that the
cut is too deep and agreeing that it
would be unWise in the extreme to make
the cut greater than $50, 000, 900.

1t is said that if the sultan OF Turkey
were allowed to consult his own tastes
he would only have one wife, instead
of the 80 he now maintains in his
harem. He dare not abolish the insti-
tuition, for he knows that the day he
saw the last of his royal harem would
also see the last of his reign. Each oc-
cupant of the harem receives the title
of princess, hence 1t is the ambition Of
every Turkish officer to get his daugh-
ter into it. She is given a large dover.

costs the country about $4,000 900
yearly. The sultan is probably the

100000 from his private estates. He
has $4,000, 900 invested in America.

In India the chief pastime OF the ma
tives is ram-fighting. The greatest
possible care is taken in rearing and
training the rams for fighting. When
the horns first appear on the lamb they
are pulled out. A second pair then
grows, which are much larger and
stronger than the first. AS the ram
grows older it is taught to buck. The
trainer uses a shield, which is padded
somewhat, so that the ram will not
break its horns. Gradually the animal
learns to take long run before buck
ting and finally, when full grown, it is
all that two men can do to hold the
shield against it's onslaughts. A re-
markab1 thing about the animals is
that the one which has been defeated
will never face its conqueror again.

has wasted somewhat during the six
weeks of her trance, and physicians
have forced a little liquid nourishment
into her system. Except for this she
has eaten nothing It was thought pos
sible that she might have been put
to sleep by hypnosis. A hynotist was
called but he failed to awaken the
