THE FARMERS AND THE MEAT
TRUST. The Farmers Grain associa-
ton of Kansas, Which has boen in sue
cessful operation for year, now pro-
poses to begin operations against the
beef trust. James Butler, secretary
and organizer of the association, has
issued a statement to the 10000 men,
bers of the association and the public,
in which he outlined a plan TO defeat
the trust. A part of the statement is
as follows:
4" The farmers and business men of
Kansas are in better shape to solve
the beef trust problem than those of
any other State. This ls State which
produces an enormous quantity of
meat, and we have demonstrated our
ability to compete with the beef trust.
The Farmers Gram association can
greatly assist in the work. Our plan
is on the cooperative order, and pro-
vides for the organization of companies
in every county of the State.
"The companies will include the far
mers who bring In the stock to market
and the men who consume the meat.
We propose to have cooperative ice
plants, cold storage and packing houses
erected at central points. The ANIMALS
can be slaughtered there and the meat
which isn't sold on the local market
Can be cured and shipped to some
larger packing centre. This will save
the two freights which the consumers
now pay. They are obliged TO pay the
freight to the packing house and the
freight back on the cured product.
This plan has been discussed by some
of the leading men In various lines CT
business in the State and they declare
| ii will win"

ing introduced to the inhabitants OF
Evansville, Wis. From that time to this
there has been great demand for Pc
runa in this vicinity and hundreds OF
cases have been cured.
1t is in this manner that Peruna
spreads from town to town and from
state to state. No sort of advertising
could have given Peruna the reputation
ithas. The secret of its success is that
it makes cures. II cures old cases of
catarrh where other remedies have
failed. This ought to make any remedy
popular.
Mr.. c. II. Harden, of Evansville, Wis.
writes the following letter:

Peruna can be relied upon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with promptness that
is unequaled by any other remedy.
If cold has settled in any portion Of

orally thought by people that they must

hope of cure. This is not true, however,
Peruna cures such cases. Thousands of

Freight Car But They Blew Open
the Door and Jumped from Moving

The professional burglars who have
operated I'm several Vermont towns, blew
open the safe In the post Office in Coffin
Il Simpsons store in Sheffield after mid
night Sunday. They obtained about $25
and some postage stamps. The safe was
destroyed. and the interior of the store
badly damaged The explosion aroused
several people who saw the burglars maxi
ing a hasty retreat. Deputy Sheriffs
Parker of Glover and Hambiet and Joslyn
of Barton were notified They searched
the early morning trains and found the
three burglars hiding in a freight car
just as 1t pulled into the Barton station.
The burglars attempted to escape and
came out of the car despite the threats of
the deputies to shoot. Several shots were
exchanged. and the burglars were forced
back into the car with the aid Of some
trainmen who came to the assistance
OF the officers.
The prisoners made n desperate attempt
to batter down the door. One OF the Off
GERS listening at the door, heard one OF
the prisoners say, well, are you salts
fed now? they've got us now, the jig is
up" His complaints were drowned in a
volley of oaths from his associates.
1t was decided to let the car go to New
port under guard, as 1t was thought the
men were successfully trapped and could
be handed over to the authorities at day
light at Newport. Soon after the train
started a heavy explosion shook the
train. The burglars had blown off the
door with dynamite. When the speed of
the train was slackened near Barton
Landing they jumped from the car and
disappeared in the darkness although
Sheriff Parker fired several shots at
them.

Not What Was Promised.
[St. Adams Messenger

The Bennington Banner is everlastingly
right when it reminds the general assem-
bly, of 1.-The necessity for the fulillment
of the pledge of the Republican party in
regard to liquor law" THE pledge was
not for 'dispensary law" says the
Banner NOR for a modification of the
present prohibitory statute, nor yet for
a 'high-license-local-opt law. but for
a high-license-local-opt law with a
referendum" Any attempt to palm off a
modified agency system upon the people
of Vermont at this time is likely to meet
with a cold reception. The people are
sick and tired of the agency and of every
thing that suggests 1T, however remotely.
And the Battell bill perpetuates one of its
worst features In the dispensing of spirits
in bulk instead of by the glass.
