Gently demonstrated by DR.. Weir
Mitchell, is poisonous, but by no
means deadly, except in rare instances.
Among the Mexicans, however, the be-.
lief is general that once bitten by the
monster" your passport to a better
world is secured. ella monsters are
numerous along the banks of the ella
river, feeding on insects and birds
eggs. They are most repulsive look
ing reptiles, with dark brown scales,
notified with green, white and red,
suggesting in their coloring a half ripe

In justice to the people of Persia let
it be said that their women are hardly
such downtrodden creatures as they
are generally supposed to be. The wife
is not a slave to her lord, nor yet a
mere toy, but his friend and counsel

his household. In many cases a
young girl is betrothed to man of her
own class-if a merchants daughter,
she marries the son of a merchant,
and so on.

necessary to begin it's proceedings,
but it is also asserted that, regard
less of the desire of the attorney
general for haste in prosecuting the
packers, it will be several weeks be-
fore the case comes to a hearing.
Judge Day will probably begin the
injunction proceedings in Judge
Kolssaat's court.
Packers Join in Fight.
It is believed that on the issuing
of the preliminary injunction the
packers will get together as in the
recent case of the railways. The
counsel for the packers so far have
not held any joint conference. They
are waiting for Judge Days first
move.
Former employees of the large pack
ing houses, it is said, will be impor-
tant witnesses when the case gets
into court.
The attorneys for the packers as
sert that the present proceedings can
have nothing to do with the alleged
payment of rebates to them by the
railroads, as that cannot be dragged
into the present warfare upon them.
Judge Days knowledge of this end of
the game, however, is SO vast, accord
ing to a man who is familiar with his
work, that before the packers are
clear of the woods it is declared, the
railways will be in the mess up to their
necks and the fullest expose of the
rebate system as applied to the pack
ers made public.
May Start Rebate Inquiry.
Judge Day, it is said, is fully aware
that a large share of the present in
Justice to the public and the small re-
tailers comes from the alleged unlaw-
full relations of the packers and the
railways in the matter of rates. 1t is
even intimated that certain vice presi-
dents in charge of traffic on some of
the big western railways may be sub
poenaed. For these reasons the pack
ers who formerly expressed no I'M
easiness regarding the coming inves-
tigation are now said to appear I'M
comfortable every time suggestion
is made that Judge Day may use the
rebate end to show up the so-called
beef trust.
Utah May Attack the Trust.
Salt Lake City, Utah, April 2S.-Pre-
liminary steps in proceedings which it
is stated may be instituted against
the meat trust were taken by Attor-
ney General M. A. Breeder Friday by
requesting of the state food and dairy
commissioners statistics in regard to
the recent advance in the prices of
meats. Information as to whether or
not meats on which any preservatives
have been used or are being imported
into the state was also requested.

Upon the graves of the dead in the

in Turkey, are suspected of being
spiteful unless something is done to
curry their favor.

Another Big Damage Suit

j. w. Eller has brought suit for his
e-year-old son Carl against the
Middle States Construction Company
for s.. 600.
He says that on March %. 1902, the
company was building the tracks of
the FIT. Scott, lola IL Western rail-
road through lola City, a populous
city of niHe thousand inhabitants. A
crew of some four men were working
near First street on T. at day, using a
handcar to transfer their materials
from point to point. The Eller boy
and other children playing near were
permitted to get on this hand car and
the men then started east with it. After
going short distance the men or
dered the children off, but did not
stop the car. The Eller boy and other
children tumbled off and the wheel
the car ran over the arm of the Eller
boy breaking the bones and lacera-
ting the flesh. The men kept on going
and paid no attention to the boy.
1t was part of the mems duty, says
the petition, to keep children from
playing in dangerous places, and for
their gross negligence and the pain
and permanent injury inflicted on the
boy, the father sues the company en-
ploying the men, whose names are un-
known, in the above sum.
Another sui, has been filed in which
II. b. w. Winters sues Joshua Rum
bel for SS6S with interest, it being the
face of note for 1920 given in 1891 on
which interest payments were not
kept up.

275 Water Taps Made.

The 275th tap was made Fridaymorn-
ing by the waterworks company. That
means that there are 275 places in
town where the city water is taken
from the mains. Mr.. Allison says he
had always estimated that when 300
taps has been made the water plant
would be standing alone and that time
is rapidly approaching. That means
that the city is getting the use of
seventy-four fire hydrants practically
free, the revenues from the plant main
tanning it and paying the interest on
the bonds. The city has sixty arc
lights on the lines and twenty COM
mercial lights in use. One more arc
light, on south State, is going in.
That is the limit of the present plant 5
capacity. The cement plant has re-
Gently begun using some city water,
the FIT Scott, lola & Western has
erected a tank, the Acid works is big
consumer and it looks now as if the
plants between them would be self
supporting. incidentally it is pleasant
to know that Prof. Marvin assures
lola that she has a mighty pure
quality of water.

The Zinc Situation.

The Zinc Miners Association seems
to hold the whip hand over the smell
ters at present and ore has been
boosted from S2S to $50 ton within
the past month The result is that
coal smelters are planning to shut
down and it is reported at JoplinIthat
some of the gas smelters will Shut
down few blocks so that ore enough
may be accumulated to keep the price
from going higher. The Joplin News
Herald warns the Mining Association
that it may get too greedy and hurt
itself.
Speaking of the situation the News
Herald says:
zone lot of zinc ore sold the past
week at S3s. Several lots sold at
$3.50 per ton, and this price was de-
clined for a number of other lots,
about 1000 tons being left in the bins
in Joplin in consequence. The Webb
City and Cartervlle shipments are
about 80 tons short of the usual ship
ment on account of ore unsold. There
are 100 tons at Carthage and nearly
300 tons at Neck City. In all there is
close to 1000 tons more ore in the
reserve stock than week ago.
George Nicholson has cut out one
block of his smelter at lola, lessening
the demand l25 tons and will cut off
three coal blocks at Nevada as soon
as the stock on hand is used up. This
will lesseu the demand another 125
tons. The Lanyon Zinc company will
cut out four and maybe five blocks
within the next three weeks, each of
which will lessen the demand l25 tons
per week. 1t is quite probable that
before April is ended, the demad will
have been lessened $50 tons by these
changes alone, not counting in many
of the lesser smelters, and even the
larger ones. No statement could be
obtained from the Illinois Zinc COM
pany, the Matthiessen & Hegeler COM
pany and the Edgar Zinc company,
but from the talk of the purchasing
agents present conditions cannot last.
They assert that they must have the
ore at a price that will permit of a
margin of profit

MEN HURT At CEMENT PLANT
Two Accidents in Rapid Succession
Sunday Afternoon Seriously
Injure Two WOrkmen.

There were two mishaps at the ce-
ment plant Sunday afternoon, one
leading to the other, and each result
ing in serious injury to an employe.
Mr. Towne, who was welding a
sledge hammer in the crusher room,
was the first victim. The heavy sledge
with which he cracked the big
rocks in the huge crusher slipped
into the crusher from which it
rebounded with vicious swipe, strik-
ing Mr.. Towne in the face aud cutting
severe cash under his left eye.
Some of the men working with him
got frightened and thought the whole
plant was going to pieces. They has
tily shut off the flow of gas IN one of
the mains and the result was an ex-
plosion of gas at another point which
severely burned G. Craig about the
face, hands and eyes. Mr.. Craig was
attended to by DR.. Dresbach and re-
moved,to his home at 3l9 South street.
Mr.. Towne was taken to the doctors )
Office, his injuries dressed and he was
removed 10 his home at PIT north
Washington.
