Salt Trust Makes Prices.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 2.-As
II result of the operations of II
trust the Armour Packing Com
pany today admitted It was obliged
to stop buying salt in Hutchinson,
kaS., and to place its orders in
Portugal. The Portuguese salt be-
gan arriving today aud ten train
loads have been bought.
I'VE find" said Mr., Fcnnel of
the packing concern, that the
National Salt Company, which
controls the Hutchinson mines,
steadily put the price up on us un-
til today they are squeezing for
Sc per ton. After paying for
mining, transporting it across the
Atlantic and railroadlng it half
way across the United States, aud
undergoing an import duty Of s
cents per 100 pounds We can buy
cheaper than the trust is demand
ing. We have stood it as long as
we intend to and now we are look
ing for other markets"
The salt for which the trusts
are getting Sc per ton formerly
sold for 81 per ton at the mines
1t is possible to buy the Portugcs,
salt only for the reason that il
crosses the Atlantic as ballast,
The Hutchinson people are inccns,
ed at the loss of the Armour trade
as they say it means driving Other
packers to Europe for their sup,
plies and the consequent closing
down Of the Hutchinson mines.

\ Paris (Mo.) literary society,
composed exclusively Of men, has
arranged to debate the question,
THAT Early Marriages are the
Most Successful" and the Monroe
County Appeal sounds the follow
ing note of warning as result:
I'VE trcmble for the men who
will argue the question, for it is
loaded at both ends. If the mar
ried men stick to the position as
signed them on the negative side,
their wives are liable to take ev-
erything they say against early
marriages as personal confession
that they made a serious mistake
in rushing into the matrimonial
harness early in life. Woe be un-
to them when they get home. On
the other hand, the boys who ar
que against early marriages will
receive the stony stare when they
try to persuade their best girls to
take them for better or for worse
Worse still, the boys who take the
affirmative end of the question
must either show their faith by
their works without delay or be
looked upon hy the girls as bas,
dcccivers."
