Indianapolis. April 23.-John Burk.
an old man living at 2105 South East
street. drank an ounce of carbolic
acid by mistake for whisky and it
came near costing him his life. He
was relieved of the poison but there
is still danger that he will die. Some
time ago Bu-k bought the poison at Il
drug store and had it placed in Il
whisky flask. When exposed to light
and air carbolic acid turns to Il color
similar to that of whisky. Burk
looked about for an "eye-opener." He
gulped the contents of the bottle down
at one swallow and then realized that
he had made Il mistake.
He ran all the way to PantZer's drug
store. at East street and Lincoln lane,
about five blocks away. He could not
talk, but he held the empty bottle in
his hand and pointed to the poison
label. Painter and DIR, ]. +. Morris.

SAINT SEEMS LEFT

Woman.

Saginaw. Mich. April 23.-Hattie
NJ. Palmer. IL young girl employed in
the Pere Marquette telegraph office,
left here last week. r. y. Goodwin, Il
Latter Day Saint elder. was waiting
at his home in Lamont. Ia. where
their marriage was to take place. At
the hour set for the arrival of the
prospective bride friends We're at the
station To welcome her. When the
train drew in it was learned that Sh0
was not one of the passengers. After
waiting many hours Goodwin set out
to find her fiancee. He went to Chi
caSo and then to Bay City, but found
her not.
\ strange coincidence is the fact
that Il young telegraph operator en-
plOycd in the same office with Miss
Hattie Palmer disappeared the same
day that Miss Palmer left. 1t is be-
lieved that she is now in St Paul,
NIinn. Miss Hattie Palmer's family
resides in the west, and formerly lived
al Chippewa, Mich. She gave no rea-
son for her resignation in the Pere
Marquette office. 1t is said that Good
win is widOwer. about 2S years of
age. The sect to which he belongs dis
claims affiliation with MOrmOnism. but
is an offshoot from the Salt Lake City
church, and never subscribed to the
tenets of polygamy.

AS TO RECIPROCITY
Conference With Reference to the
Section Pertaining
to Cuba.

Washington, April 23.-The question
of reciprocity with Cuba formed the
subject OF an important preliminary
conference on the part of ma iority
of the Republican senators yesterday.
The meeting was called largely as the
result of a general exchange of ideas
on the floor of the senate In the
main the senators invited to participate
were those friendly to reciprocity leg
islatiOn. but some of the opposition
Republican members We're present. In
the absence of Allison. who is chair
man both of the Republican caucus
and the Republican steering commit
tee Hale presided.
The result of the meeting may he
summed up as follows: There will be
AN early meeting of the senate COM
mittee on relations with Cuba to take
mp the question on the basis of the
house bill which is now before that
committee; the Republican members
of the committee will act together i'm
formulating Il substitute for the house
bill. and none of them is to cooperate
with the Democratic members of the
committee; the bill thus agreed upon
by the Republican members will he
submitted to n Republican caucus OF
the senate and made Il party measure.

TELL ALL ABOUT THE TRUST
HO w the a Agreement Is Enforced and How
Rivals Are Crushed.

The claim that there is no beef
trust is all bOsh. There is an under
standing ard agreement, which is
stronger than any trust, between the
big houses. These packers meet as Il
rule every Wednesday and fix the
prices for the following week. They
all live up to the agreement"
How is this agreement enforced -
After considerable hesitation the in
fOrmant consented to give the informal
ton. as follows: 1t is done in the same
manner as railways form a pool. The
packers have an auditor. who is in re-
ceipt of Il handsome salary. 1t is true
some of them sell under the scale. but
the punishment is swift. Each of the
packers has large deposit to the
credit OF the combine. In case of viO-
lation of trust prices. the offender is
fined from 5000 to $4,000. and this
penalty is always paid. Sometimes it
pays to violate the terms of the pool" 8"
What connection have the railways
with the Schemei'
The packers have some arrange
ment With the railways as the Stand
ard Oil company. They got a rebate
or mileage. of one cent each way on
their refrigerator cars and cattle cars,
and three-quarterS of Il cent on stock.
For instance, a refrigerator car run
ming between here and New York
would earn on the round trip about
$50 for mileage rebate. If the car cost
$1,000 il will pay for itself in a little
over year. Besides this. the railway
companies bid for the packers bust
ness and make them price of from
TO Is cents per 100 inside their schedule
price. thus violating the law. This
commission was being given up to Jan.
1, 1902. to my personal knowledge"
rs the statement true that the pack
ers meet competition from the smaller
houSeS:"
NO that is not true. A packing
company was started at Minneapolis
in 1890 or 1891. Its fate was the same
as others. The concern was called the
Minneapolis Beef company. and it had
a capital of $50000O. Efforts were inn
mediately made to destroy it. Armour
& Co. Swift & Co. Nelson Morris *
Co. Libby. Mcneil & Libby. the Ham
mond Packing company. and the Cud-
ahys, with others. shipped dressed beef
into Minneapolis and st. Paul at from
1 TO cents a pound less. This was
kept up until the Minneapolis company
was ruined financially.
while the packers of Chicago. Kan
sas City. and Omaha were doing this
they were still making money on the
sales of meat in other sections of the
country. This practice has been car
ried on until there are no more small
packing houses scattered around the
United States. The loss. if any, in de-
stroying competition, is divided equal
ly between the big fellows"
How do the packers get a monOp-
oly of the cattle?" was asked.

SENTIMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
Why IL Is Pro-Boer, According to
Hammond-AngIom and
AngIOphobe Censured.

London, April 23.-''I must advise
you not to pay too much attention to
the eXtravaGant expressions of friend
ship of Il certain well-meaning but
discredited class called in America
'Anglomaniacs.' These words were
the keynote of speech made by John
Hays Hammond, the United States
engineer, last night at dinner given
i'm honor of Hammond's return to Eng
land. Hammond explained to his au-
dience the depth of and reason for
United States sympathy with the
Beers, and he impressed his hearers
with Great Britain'S total lack of eff
fort to counteract the prO-Boer senti-
ment in the United States. With equal
franknesS Hammond urged that Great
Britain be generous in her demands.
Your American friends he declared
most earnestly hope that in arrang
ing terms of peace wise liberality will
be shown TO the BoerS''
Also Hits the AngIophobes.
Such. a statement coming from one
who in the same speech referred to
his Imprisonment at Pretoria on ac-
count of his anti-Boer tendencies pro-
duced rater striking effect. The
United States Anglophobes came in for
equal criticism with the AnglOmaniacS
i'll Hammond'S remarks. Both of
these classes said Hammond. are
the tlOtSam and jetSam of the Ameri-
can population. The citizens who
compose the important body of our
population are the eXponentS of Amer
icanism i'll its highest form" The
speaker pointed out that United States
impressions of the Boer war were
derived from the political emissaries
of the Beers and the writings and
speeches of the British pro Beers. un-
der which circumstances, he said, it
was not surprising that the corrupt
Transvaal origarchy, masquerading un-
der the name of the little sister re-
public had secured the aid and SYM
pathy of the United States.

Celebrating upon his argument in
favor of granting generous peace terms
Hammond unfavOrably compared KrJI-
gers attitude with General Lees

he warned his hearers TO learn les

States civil war by avoiding the mis-
take of the United States statesman
who endeavored TO govern the south
ern states by northern ofiiceholdefS.

BIG BANKS UNITE
Two OF Chicago's Leading Finan-
ciaI Institutions
Merge.

Chicago. April 23.-The Record Her
aid is authority for the statement that
the First National bank of Chicago has
made an offer for the stock and bust
ness of the Metropolitan National bank
of this city i'm terms that undoubtedly
will be accepted. \ meeting of the di-
rectOrs of the latter institution prob
ably will be held soon to consider the
proposition.
The combined capital stock of the
two banks is S7,000.GJ0. and their COM
bined surplus and undivided profits
are about $J.6JO.OOO. The merging
of the two banks would give the unit
ed institution about S100.O00.000 i'm de-
pOsits. making it the second largest
bank in the United States.

TRUSTIN BEEFSURE
Man Who Knows Tells Chicago
Paper So and Explains
Matters.
MEAT Is ENTIRELY, TOO COSTLY
Only Reason Therefor Is That the
Trust Is Squeezing the Popu-
lace Hard.

Chicago. April 23.-The Evening
Journal has the following relative to
the alleged beef trust:
There is Il meat trust. and a big
one. too" That is what man who
for seventeen years was engaged in
business at the stock yards said this
morning, and he is prepared to go
before Il committee of the United
States senate and prove what he says.
There are only u few men who have
inside information on this question" ="
he said, "and at the present time it
would not be wise to disclose my
identity. AT the proper time | shall do
So" An alarming state of affairs eX-
lists. according to The Journals in
forlnant, who summarizes the condi-
tionS as follows:
His Indictment of the Packers.
"Laborers have been imported by
the big packers and wages forced to Il
low level. Cattle bought at cents a
pound on the hOOf can he sold at s
cents n pound dressed and a handsome
profit realized. This is on account of
the valuable by-prOducts. The rise in
prices is the direct result of the crush
ing of competition. Rebates
are collected from the railways. The
os'N VI Npih SUI dSt plsllllS IL Il CURSE
rather than blessing. The plants
enable the packers To keep meat for
two years, while prices may go soar
ing.
By-PrOducts the Most Valuable.
The packers can buy cattle on the
hoof at cents II pound, and if sold
at : cents pound dressed they will
make handsome profit said The
Journals informant. The claim that
the Offal is practically waste is a mis-
representation. 1t is worth more than
the meat itself. l could raise 1,O00.-
OGO of capital in twenty-four hours
and agree to kill the cattle. taking the
Offal at the live stock price, including
the intestineS and what is inside of
them. The fact is that cattle dress
away from 80 TO 40 per cent. The 40
per cent comes from the very poorest
of Gamers.
He Lets Out the Secret.
The secret today in the high price
of meat is that the packers buy their
cattle in the early fall for cold storage
purposes. These cattle cost all the way
from 21s to cents live weight They
are put i'll the chill room and kept there
until prices advance to satisfy the
greed of the trust. In some instances
the meat is not sold until two years
after the killing. The first of April
and May the packers make point of
having tons of chilled beef on hand
and holding it until prices are forced
