Railroads bal F1ght

The Frisco and Memphis railroads
have a fight on their hands down in
Cherokee county with the Katy. The
NJ K. & T. is uilding a branch road
to Joplin, and it crosses the Frisco
and Memphis near Columbus. 1t is
mineral road" known as the Missouri
Kansas & Northwestern. I. N. Sedg-
wick general attorney for the M K &
T., today lodged complaint with the
state obard of railroad commissioners
that the other roads objected to these
crossings, and asked relief. The rail-
road law gives the commission juris-
dictien in the matter of arranging
crossing rights when the roads cannot
agree themselves. This is the first case
of the kind that has come up, and a
hot fight between the roads may de-
velop.

ALL ABLE BODIED MEN
About to Be Called Out For
Service in British Army.

London, Oct. 24.-An error committed
by some of the provincial police has led
to the premature leaking out of the fact
that the war office contemplates the pos
sibility of having to call out every vol
unteer in the country. The war office
has distributed to the police officers
throughout the kingdom bills ordering
all reservists, militia, yeomen and vol
unteers to report themselves without de-
lay to headquarters, with the view of
active service. These bills are accom-
panied by letters ordering that the bills
be kept in safe place until telegraphic
orders to post them up are received.
The police of Lancaster overlooked the
letter and posted the bills causing wide
spread perturbation.

RIVAL OF AMERICAN HOG.

The American hog has a European
rival Denmark has come into the field
as a producer and exporter of hogs and
hog products, with a growth at least
interesting if not suggestive to Ameri-
can producers of a commodity whose
export value grew from $84, ,69s in
1891 to S119. 961, SOB in 1901. These figures
show the total value of hog products
exported from the United States in 1891
and 1901, respectively, the details for
1901 being: lard, SAC, $50, 14s; bacon. $37.-
4se. o26; hams, $22,s42,77s; sailed and
picked pork. So. .632; fresh pork. 49,
z24. 5s7; and canned pork. SOS. 1871.
The fact that hog products form the
largest single item in the expectations
of the United States. having exceeded
last year by two million dollars those
of the manufactures of iron and steel,
whose exports have attracted SO much
attention. lends interest to some facts
which have Just reached the treasury
bureau of statistics regarding the re-
Tnarkable development of the hog-pack-
ing industry of Denmark This infor-
nation is published in the Danish Elk
port Review" and shows that the num-
Der of head of swine in Denmark has
increased from 201 600 in 1851 to 1,16s, :
coo in 1898, the latest year for which
statistics are available. The prohibition
of the importation of live hogs into Ger
many and the United Kingdom, which
countries were Denmarl's principal GUS
toners in this line. resulted in the es-
tablishm ent of slaughter houses In Den
mark and the increase in the produc-
ton of Danish bacon and hams in re-
cent years has been phenomenal The
exports of hams and bacon from Den
mark have grown from 100000 Danish
pounds in 1873 to 129, 100000 Danish
pounds In 1898.
As a consequence OF the change from
the export of live swine to that of
slaughtered animals. the slaughter
houses have risen to the greatest Inn
portance in Denmark during the last 10
OF Is years Whilst formerly the slaugh-
ter houses belonged to private individ-
uals, a large number of joint and Co
operative slaughter houses have been
esta blfshed during this period. This
movement commenced in 1887 on ac-
count of the German importation pro-
hibitfen when 1t became necessary to
kill a considera bic number of swine
which were formerly sent to Germany
alive for sale in England
There are now % cooperative siaugh-
ter houses in Denmark which in 1899
killed about $4,000 head of swine at a
value of about 100000. and about 22,-
450 head of cattle for export.
The co-operators numbering $4,000
have bound themselves to send the
whole or Dart of their swine to the
slaughter houses, and guarantee 10 to
rs kroner per head of swine for funds
and working capital These co-opera-
tors share equally the working expen-
ees and the years surplus in the same
manner as the diaries. They employ $40
hands, besides managers and Office
staff All of the IS slaughter houses
possess a common organization and
mana cement, and q common Office at
Copenhagen.

the president.
I'm trying to get these cattle out of
the near field" replied the deacon.
I'll help you" shouted the president,

party followed the presidents example
and assisted in the work
by gum! I never see such sport" de-
clared the deacon, he proudly related
the incident to his friends.

THAT BOURBON FIGHT.
"Rubberneck" Licked Eight or Ten
and Was Dragged to Jail by

The Goshen Democrat OF Monday
contained a cock and bull story OF q
Jacob linn of Nappacr.sse who drew two
revolvers and tried TO clean out Fit
crafts saloon in Bourbon, Saturday
night, and was fatally shot by Marsh
al Devol while resisting arrest.
The story as it is told here concerns
Jacob Zentz, better known as Grub
berneck, and the only place he was
shot seems to have been in the neck,
and that don It count. ''Rubberneck'
was being imposed upon by a lot OF
Bourbon toughs and found it neces
sary to give eight or ten of them
drubbing. The marshal called Out
the citizens and "Rubberneck" wa!
taken to the calabooSe by about hal
the town. This seems to be thu
whole story.
Zentz is peaceful generally, but h'
is man of immense strength and en-
durance, and he probably made it in
teresting for a few Bourbonites. Nap
