four mules and just as hescrossed the

toward the edge of the abuttment and

WATCH THE LOBBY.

The baking powder trust is now at

endeavoring to pursade the Legisla-

bill, so as to exclude alum powders
from competing with their goods
A short time ago, this trust succeed
ed in hoodwinking the Missouri Leg
islature into adopting this same
amendment, which has raised storm
of protest throughout that state.
The New York Commercial, the
leading trade journal of this country,
in commenting on this law states.
1.-THE Legislature of Missouri ought
not to wait for the Supreme Court of
that State to pass on the constitution
ality of the anti-alum law. The law
making body was VIGOROUSLY deceiv-
ed and imposed upon at the last SEES
sion by the agents of the cream of tar
tar monopolists. 1t seems hardly pos
sible that the constitution of that
State should permit the infection of
such an injustice as this law imposes,
but still the court might allow it to
stand ON some technicality or irregu-
larity in the presentation of the case,

At present the law turns over the
entire baking powder business OF
Missouri to one set of manufacturers.
The Legislature can easily undo It's
own blunder. 1t need not take the
risk of the courts possible sustention
OF the error. Missouri's example
would beyond question act as a pow
erful deterrent on such one-sided legis-
lation in other States.

teach this trust that, although VIC

the moon is not made, of green cheese.

them, and it is only necessary there

with which they are confronted.

the largest wool concerns in that
country, are arranging for the transfer
of their business to the United States.
Agents for the company are inspect
ing sites on the Connecticut River
and Barre, Mass. They say the latter
location will probably be accepted on
account of the superior advantages OF
the water privileges.
Options there ON two water pri
vileges have been secured. The plan t
will be a large one, designed to en-
ploy 1000 hands, for the manufacture
of wool tops,
The reasons given for removing the
plant to this country is that the con-
Germ cannot compete with Americans
under the tariff rates.
This will make an additional mar
ket for our farmers. These two thou
sand men, will be fed, clothed and
housed in this country, thereby adding

Gore Was Spilled.

On the snow and ice which cover
the ground in front of the Grautham
building, Public Square, there is scat
tered in all directions a vast amount
of blood which, as long as the snow
lasts, will remain TO tell the tale OF
bloody battle which took place on
that ground between 3 80 and
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
Between the hours above stated
Holly" Bowers the local agent for
the Belvidere Brewing Company, OF
Harper's Ferry, drove past the Gran
than building with his delivery wag-
on. The hub of the wagon struck
the buggy of Sayles VanMetre,a far
mer, which was occupied by his son
Daniel Daniel didu't like this oc-
curance and at once got out of his
buggy and began threatening Bowess,
who, it is understood, apologized for
the accident. The latter then went
into the saloon of f. A. Hobbs and
the young countryman went into Gre
due's saloon to tell his father of what
had happened.
In few minutes both father and
son appeared in Hobbs saloon and
again took up the argument III vlo-
lent language. Bowers, apparently to
avoid raising a commotion, walked
OUT but the VanMetre' S were not sat
isfied The younger VanMeter pro-
duead a whip and with this weapon
began to rain blows upon the body OF
Bowers.
While the latter was preparing to
defend himself the elder VanMeter
took the part Of Nilsson. Bowers then
turned upon his last assailant, struck
him an upper cut on the jaw and he
fell to the ground bleeding profuse
| ly, unconscious.
Bowers then turned upon the young
err VanMetre and dealt out to him
similar knock out blows. The youth
staggered from the force of hard
blow, fell forward ON the iron in front
of the big plate glass window and
then dropped to the pavement. He
was like his father, knocked out in
the first round.
AS the elder VanMetre fell his head
struck upon the curbstone and an
ugly cash was cut in his face below
the eye. He lay on the ground I'M
conscious until restored by DIR. Bak-
er. His son also received 81 bad cut
on the nose by striking the iron of
the window
A crowd soon gathered upon the
scene of the conflict and excitement
for a time was at a high pitch.
Officer McBee came down Queen
street at break-neck speed and met
Bowers. who was on his way to the
MAY or's office to give himself up.
The officer permitted Bowers to pro-
coed and hurried ON to the scene of the
disturbance, arriving just as the Van
Metres were being driven away in
their buggy by friend. He escorted
them to the Mayors office and then
hastily summoned witnesses for the
trial.
After hearing the testimony of the
witnesses, Mayor pro tenn Kline re-
leased Bowers and fined Van Metre
and his son each s. and costs amount
ing to S16. 40, which was paid.
