GREAT BEEF TRUST.
HOW THEY MANAGETO SQUEEZE
OUT THE FAT.

Meetings to Fix Prices-They Maintain
Black List" ard Receive a Rebate From
Railroads.
The charges against the beef trust
in the petition filed by the United
States Attorney, are thus briefly sum
married.
That the constituent members OF
the beef trust-Armour, Swift. Ham.
mond, Morris, Cudahy and Schwarz-
child Il Sulzberger-control GO per
cent. OF the fresh meat business of ths
United States.
That the defendants conspire to
refrain from bidding agai nst each
other, except perfunctorily, for live
stock. thus compelling stock owners
to sell for a less price than they would
receive if no combination existed.
That the packers conspire to bid up
prices Of live stock for few days at a
time to allure shippers to send in
large consignments OF stock. That
when great supply is thus collected,
the packers drive prices below the
normal level, forcing sales by the
owners and raisers OF the stock.
That the packers conspire to raise,
lower or fix the prices of fresh meats
to dealers and consumers throughout
the country, and likewise abroad.
That they particularly hold secret
meetings and agree on prices not to
be devisted from.
That they restrict the amounts OF
shipments whenever by so doing they
may promote their own profits; and
that they impose on each other penal
ties for breaking agreements.
That they have uniform rule of
credits.
That they together maintain a
"black list" of delinquents and refuse
to sell to such delinquents.
That they impose uniform charges
for carriage on dealers and consumers,
whereas, without combination and
conspiracy, no carriage charges what.
ever would be made.
That the packers receive, by means
OF rebates, unlawful rates from rail-
roads-rates which would be competi.
tors conld not secure.
The Government demands that the
packers be enjoined from continuing
any Of the unlawful proceedings cited
above, from attempting to monopolize
the packing business; from refraining
from bidding against one another
arbitrarily fixing prices, either OF live
stock or their packing products; from
maintaining "black-list"; from i'm
posing a carriage charge for delivery,
and from receiving rebates from rail
roads.
That the beef trust produce books.
papers and documents relative to its
dealings.
That subpoenas be issued TO bring
into court for testimony the owners
and managers OF the companies con-
stituting the combination.
The beef trust has sinned away its
days OF grace, for it will be proved
that the farmers and feeders should
have higher prices than they have
been receiving, and that the consum-
ers should have been supplied at lower
prices than they have been paying,
says the Iowa State Register. More
than 100 per cent. profit, between the
farmers and the consumers, is too
much. There is sufficient law to
crush the beef trust by seizing every
car of stock or meats it attempts to
ship, and it is believed that that will
be the result OF the present trial.

After Seven Years.

Cone day." says an exchange clerk in a Philadelphia department store, "an old fellow from the country came up to my desk, and, laying down a package, said: ''Young man, here's a suit of underwear that I bought here seven years ago.

 St. Anthony is the patron and pro- tector of pigs, and Stow, in his 'sSur- vey," mentions curious custom prev alent in his time in the London mar kets, which has left its mark in a proverb. The officers of the markets slit the ears of starved pigs and those unwholesome for food; around the necks of these the proctors of St. An thony's hospital tied bells, and set them loose upon the refuse heaps. It became the habit of people to feed those pigs, and the animals, acquiring a knowledge of their benefactors, would follow them like a dog, whining for food. Hence the saying: SHe fol- lows me about like an Anthony pig" or "He is Tantony pig applied to a whining beggar or mere hanger-on

DENIES CRIME ON OEATHBED
Man Suspected OF killing Chicago
Policemen Dies from Effects
OF Wound.

CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-Frank Knoll. sus-
peeted OF having been implicated IN the
murder Of Policemen Devine and Pennell,
died today at st. Mary's hospital. His
death resulted from loekjaw. which devel-
oped from a bullet wound in the leg.
Knoll persisted In denying any knowledge
OF the murder OF the two policemen, and
claimed that he was shot by a policeman
while trying to break open a slot machine.
Samuel Meaghre. who was arrested at the
same time as Knoll. declared that he. too,
was shot at the same time as Knoll, and
that they had nothing whatever to do with
the killing OF DeVine and Pennell.
When Knoll was arrested last Wednesday
he was suffering from a severe wound in
the thigh, inflicted several days before, and
which had not received medical attention.
The police, after closely investigating the
case, are inclined TO the belief that Knoll
told the truth on his death bed, and that
neither he nor Meaghre had anything to do
with the murder OF the two policemen.

FOR IMPROVEMENT OF PARKS
Mayor of sioux Falls Takes steps to
Better City's Breathing

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Aug. 1L-(spe-
cial.)-In accordance with a pronounced
public sentiment, Mayor Burnside has APP
pointed a committee, consisting of mem
bers of the city council, for the purpose
Of investigating the feasibility Of the city
establishing a system Of public parks.
This is something hat the people Of the
city badly need, as there is not at pres
emit a desirable spot within the city limits
where the residents can go for recreation
and pleasure. There are a number Of
sites near the city which could easily
be converted into fine parks.
Among the spots to be considered by
the committee will be what are known
as Meredith, Ford, Natwick and Brough-
ton groves, all situated on the Big Sioux
river, within reasonable distance of the
heart OF Sioux Falls, and what is known
as the big island near the farm Of Clark
Coates. The latter is an unusually hand
some spot. The island is entirely sur
rounded by water the year round. There
are some large trees on the island and
It could be made quite attractive at small
expenses. The question Of purchasing
what is known as Seney island, located on
the Big Sioux river only a few block dis
tant from the business center Of Sioux
Falls, and converting 1t into a park will
also be considered by the committee. seney

nection with the Bartholin- Mitchell muir

The other two suspects-Thompson and
Clany-who were removed to the county
jail yesterday. were in good spirits today,
and still declared their innocence.

POPE'S NAME DAY RECEPTION
POntif Ignores Physicians Orders and Re-
osivSS Many Sabbath Guests,
PRtLATE DISPLAYS MARKED VITALITY
Many Communications, Including
Those from Emperor Francis JO-
seph and King Alfonso Re-
ceived by His Holiness.

ROME, Aug. 1.-THE pope is In such good
health that It Is thought not necessary to
suspend the Sunday audiences. as has
hitherto been the custom, in order 10 give
the ponti1 strength for a fatiguing osre-
mony such as the Great Name day recep-
tion Of today. DR.. Lapponi, the pope's ply
sician, insisted, however, upon limiting the
number of guests TO 200 instead of the
usual 500.
The efforts to obtain invitations to the
Name day reception were so persistent and
came from such high quarters that the
pontiff, hearing Of them, overruled his ply
sician's advice and had an additional 100
guests included.
The innumerable letters and kilograms Of
felicitation received by the pontif Included
communications from Emperor Francis Jo-
seph Of Austria and King Alfonso Of Spain.
The communication from the king of Spain
was the first missive sent 20 his godfather
by King Alfonso since his coronation.
The pope held the reception in his pri-
yate library. He showed no signs OF IA
tigue and spoke with almost every one
present. He appeared to be unusually an
mated and recognized the Rt. Rev. Benja-
min ]. Kelley, bishop of Savannah, Ca. who
was the only American present, immedi-
ately he perceived him. The pope said to
Bishop Kelley: 81 am glad to see you again
before you leave"
Bishop Kelley told a representative of
the Associated Press that ha was astonishei
at the pontin's vitality and brightness Of
mind. -
Upon his ~re-entering his private apart
ments the pope said: 'It does not matter
what DR.. Lapponi says. I feel bstter after
each occasion OF this kind"
The reception lasted for one hour. His
holiness talked about the collapse Of the
Campanile Of st. Marks at Venice and ex-
pressed a wish to see the restoration Of thu
roof Of the Lateran palace before he died.
Among the kilograms Of congratulation
received by the pontif was one OF 20 90
words from the Catholics Of Catania,
Sicily. The receipt of this long message
caused comment, as under the settlement
with the Italian government all kilograms
for the vatican are accepted and delivered
free.
In the course Of a conversation the pope
urged the building Of a chapel to be dedi-
Gated to the Sacred Heart.

PIERRE. S. D., Aug, 17.-(Special.)-
At a meeting called for the purpose, yes

crease the gas supply to a point where
inducements could be offered to manufac-
tories to locate at this city. The present
well which has Just been completed By
Messrs. Norbeck and Nicholson, having
proven to be such a success, the same
outfit will no doubt be used In the sink

possible to yet know what amount of gas
Is to be secured from the new well, It is
estimated to be greater than from all the
other wells in the city. A pail Of water

Present Rainy season VIII
soon End.

PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 1T,-(speoial.)-
Ranchmep are hoping that the rainy season
for this year will soon come to an end.
Last year II continued into September
and as a result grass on the range was
kept green until killing frosts came and
II was spoiled as winter feed. They fear
the same results this year again. While
the fall rains assure early grass in the
spring. and bring a heavier hay crop, they
have the disadvantage Of spelling winter
range. Such seasons as last year and
this year will mean that a supply Of hay
must be depended upon for winter feed
instead Of the open range, and this will
mean smaller herds. as 1t is practically
impossible to put up enough hay for the
cattle In the larger herds, which are scat
tered over a scope of country larger than
many Of the eastern states, and could
not be got to a central feeding point, even
II the hay supply had been secured for
them,

Hiram c. LydIck.

TEKAMAH, Neb,. Aug, 17.-(SpeciaI Tele-
gram.)-A gloom was cast over his city
this morning by a telegram from the Pres
byterian hospital in Omaha, announcing
the death Of Hiram C. Lydick, who was
taken there ten days ago for treatment.
His remains arrived here at $3.50 .. m. to-
day, and were met at the depot by a large
number Of his old friends and neighbors
and escorted to the home Of his daughter.
Mrs. ]. T. Show, where the funeral will
be held at $3.50 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
and will be conducted by the local Grand
Army post, Of which he was a member.
Mr.. Lydick was born In Knox county.
Ohio, In 1S4O, came to Burt county, Me-
braska, in June, 1857, a boy II years. full
Of energy and a determination to make a
home In this section. then the frontier.
How well he succeeded can best be told
by saying that he leaves his family about
5000 acres Of land in this county. free
from incumbrance, besides a large amount
OF personal property. In 1852 he enlisted
in the Second Nebraska cavalry, and was
for some time stationed at Old Fort Kear-
ney to protect settlers against Indians.

loses one Of its most prominent and en-
terprising citizens. His home has always
been on the farm, six miles northeast Of
Tekamah, on the Arizona bottoms, which Is
one Of the best improved In the county,
where everything that could add to the
pleasure and comfort Of farm life was fur
nished. He leaves a wife, seven sons and
two daughters.
