THE PRICES OF MEATS
WILL ADVANCE SOON

There seems little doubt that the price
of beef to the consumer will be increased
in short time. In fact, those retailers
who have not a supply of meat on hand.
either have advanced or will advance i'm
mediately. Very few Of the retail hand
lers of meat have bought from the pack
ing house people since the rise in the
price of beef from 1-2 to 81-2 cents
pound, most of them having enough meat
on hand to supply the demand for several
days.
Some of the retailers had a large stock
on hand at the time of the increase and
these will be able to continue at low prices
for a couple of weeks or a, month per-
haps. 1t is only question of time. how
ever. so the majority of the retailers
think, before there will be a general in
crease in the price of beef of about 21-2
cents a pound. The packing people offer
no hope of a relief and none seems prob
able.

TAKES RATHER GLOOMY VIEW.
Prof. Everbach Has Seen Demo
cratic Candidates. Head.

1t is not often in these days of prosperity
and glorious Republican prospects that one
runs across a member of the G.. o. P. that
is in the slightest way pessimistic. The av-
erage Republican who comes to town re-
lates glowing stories of the organization in
his locality and tells of what his county
will do in the way of piling up the usual
majorities. However, there was caller at
Republican committee headquarters yester-
day who is not so optimistic as he might
be This caller was Prof. NJ. f. Everbach,
of Evansville. He is editor of the Post, of
that city. The Post is the Republican or
gan of the German population of Evans
vile. What little skepticism the professor
has is largely due to a scientific knowledge
which he possesses. He is a phrenOlOgiSt
and examines the heads of people in addi-
tion TO writing editorials. He sizes up the
situation in Evansville, and. in fact, the
whole First district thus: THE situation is
a very close one. The Democrats expect to
make the best fight of their lives TO elect
their congressman, representatives to the
State Legislature and their senator The
one great fact that troubles Professor EV-
erbach is that he has had a glimpse of John
w. Spencer's head. Mr.. Spencer is the
Democratic nominee for Congress in the
never met Mr.. Spencer. but he has noticed
his head and there are some alarming
bumps on it-alarming for the Republicans.
These bumps seem 10 indicate great will
power, determination and aggressivenesS,
and Professor Everbach intimates that il
will be well for the Republican managers
in the First district TO keep an eye on Mr..
Spencer. Professor Everbach thinks the
Socialists, Social Democrats and Populists
of Evansville Will probably unite.

of a large modern steel construction building
primarily for its own use II is expected
the building will be ready for occupancy
early in 1904. In the nearly ffty-one years
of its existence, the Times has occupied
buildings in Newspaper Row." facing
City Hall Park, and the announcement
that Ii is to be moved TO the uptown dis
trict has caused much comment The first
of these, in 1851, was at lib Nassau street.
The second was at the northeast of Mas
sau and Beekman streets. The third Is
the one wherein the newspaper is now pub
lished. Two buildings in succession have
been erected on the present site the hrst
i'm 1857 and the second in 1883 The block
on which the new building is TO stand is
triangular in form. The plot itself is a
trapezoid, the dimension being l43 feet on
Broadway. 5S.4 feet on West Forty-second
street, 1865 feet on Seventh avenue, and
20 feet on the north facing Long Acre

In announcing the purpose of abandoning
its present quarters the Times says: ITO
many of the old New Workers. the notion
of a newspaper moving so far up town
will seem singular. For years the popular
idea has been that the location near the
City Hall Park, where so many newspapers

POPULISTS UP in ARMS
THEY ARE INCENsED BOTH AT DEM
OCRATs AND REPUBLICANS.
Fight Against Miers I'm the Second
District-C. vi. Walter Returns
from a Tour.

The Populists are up in arms. They are
not only inoensed al the manner in which
they have beeen treated by the Democracy
but they have a grudge or two TO satisfy
against the Republicans. In the Second
district, according to c. NJ. Walter, secre-
tary of the Populist state committee, there
are fierce mutterings amongst the Popu-
listic element and determined fight is 10
be made against Miers, the Democratic
candidate for Congress.
Il have just returned from the Second
district" said Mr.. Walter yesterday.
Some of the Democrats are greatly dis
satisfied with the position of Mr.. Meirs
and say he is attempting to carry water on
both shoulders. They declare they will not
support hi'N. Another element of strength
he will lose this time is something like four
hundred old soldiers who are Republicans.
1t is understood that they will no longer
support him. 1t seems that he was un-
fortunate enough to turn one or two OF
these veterans down. UnquestiOnably the
dissatisfied elements in this district VIII
have a platform and will nominate a man.
In the First district the Populists will
have a candidate for Congress and he will
receive a strong support from the dissatis-
fed element in the Democratic party that
refuses to be tied to John w. Spencer. Mr..
Spencer will find the knives of several
prominent Democrats of the district stick
ing between his ribs in November, and II
he looks at the initials on the handle of
each he will find that some are the lniti-
ais of men who now pretend great friend
ship for him.
lin the Fifth district nomination for
Congress will be made that will draw con-
siderably from Mr.. Holiday. In the
Thirteenth district we will make an active
campaign and in Pulaski and Starke coun-
ties we expect to be especially strong In
the Ninth district the Populists will make
the most vigorous fight ever made in the
history of the party in this locality. We
expect to be aided by the dissatisfied ele-
ments of both of the old parties. l have
not been through the other districts to
learn of the situation. but generally speak
ing things look favorable for the Popu-
lists Our State ticket will run far above
what il did before by reason Of the assist
ance OF the Silver Republicans and the
Democratic voters who will come to us on
account of the offense offered Mr.. Bryan
and his principles. common expression
throughout the State among the Bryan
Democrats is that they will make the Dem
ocratic State ticket look like thirty cents
and teach the former Indianapolis ring that
while it may control the street-car fran
chises and the city, it cannot control the
State of Indiana.
