Price of the Table Requisite Soaring
Skyward.
Washington, April 18.-The price of
butter has jumped 10 cents pound in
all parts of the country since the sen
ate passed the bill to tax oieomarga-
rine out of existence. Reports Of the
sudden and alarming increase in the
price of the household staple have
been pouring in on the members of
congress for several days. The pur-
pose CT the reports is to influence con-
gross to kill the bill taxing oleomarga-
rine. and it looks as II the movement
will / g successful.
When the senate passed the bill it
had to go back to the hsuse for con-
currence in the amendments. 1t is to
be considered by the house as COM
mittee of the whole house if it can be
called up, but the other important
measures on the calendar, together
with the advance which the oleomarga-
rine legislation has caused in the
price of butter, has started the belief
that it will be kept back or PFC nptly
voted down if called up.
1t is shown in butter statistics that
the supply is not near equal to the de-
mand and the price is likely to go even
higher yet

says left his wife at Cattlettsburg,

wife.
Suspicion was attracted to the dis

hands and long hair. She wore typi-

garb which she carried in q valise she

Waterloo, Ia. April 18.-The strike
situation in the Illinois Central shops
here is daily assuming more serious
phase. Business Agent Roderick, of
the International Machinists' union,
has arrived and is endeavoring to ad-

strike here the shops of the entire sys-

has imported few men to make light
repairs and seems determined to fight
it out.
The unions have forced the local
stores to quit furnishing goods to the
company and they are shipping them
in. A large force of special agents is
guarding the Central's property, al
though thus far the men have been
quiet.
