If Mr.. Nixon is so certain that he re-.
ceived IL votes in Elwood township
why does he not propose to recount that
township? II he will consent to that and
the votes show up as he claims, the mat
ter will be settled without litigation
But he won't do it. It lie the Office be
wants and it makes no difference wha,
methods are employed to get it.

BEN WADswoRTH received eight votes
for commissioner in Elwood township.
People down that way recogn zed him
as fit for good official ana they sho wed
it by voting for him even if it could not
be counted.-CFesset.
If that is true, those eight republican
ballots are all void under that infamous
ballot law. yet they were counted for
the entire republican ticket Again
how is it that you claim only eight
votes for Wadsworth in that precinct
and eighteen for Nixon. when the tai
lies appeared in the same column in
each instance? Fraud? Well We should
guess, yes.

THE Parker-Hughes Case. cited by the
machine to justify themselves in trying
to C 'uut Nixon in, has no application to
their case. Besides, the very decision
cited did not give the Office to Parker
and it does rot give it to Nixon.

frontage of the building will be 800
feet. AS regards location, that is not
yet settled. OF course, If the present
location is selected, the old main
building must go soon. The space, how
ever, is not ample for a building of this
size without seriously covering the en-
gineering building. The site may be
south of the present emergency hall. In
that case the old building will remain
until the new one is completed. There
will be d meeting of the board about

pertinent barn will be discussed and
perhaps some decision will be reached
regarding the central building. The
work on the barn will probably be be-

When asked regarding the rumor that
all the young women students who
roomed in Margaret Hall must also

dent replied: Probably that will be
the outcome. The board has passed =

FORTUNE FOR MASON.
Illinois Senator May Become Mil
Iionaire Soon.


Tacoma, Wash, April Ex-senator
William E. Mason, of Chicago, will
probably become millionaire because
CT the faith which he displayed three
years ago in Albart A. Johnson, q
hardy young miner whom he had never
previously seen. Today the Columbia,
Hydraulic Mining Company of this
stakeholder and johnson manager,
owns a mountain of rich bearing
gravel in Atlin district, British Column
hia.
Two years have been spent in pur-
chasing, delivering and installing the
largest hydraulic plant in British Co
lumbia. 1t comprises 200 tons, and to
land it at the base of the mountain it
became necessary to build nine miles of
narrow-gauge railway besides long
stretch of wagon road. Mining men
estimate that the next two years Will
enable the company to wash out nearly
IL not quite s2O,000,000 in gold.
Johnson was formerly a real estate
dealer and city coucilman Of West SUI
perior. Meeting with reverses during
the panic, he went to Alaska and came
near losing his life in the stampede to
the Copper River country. In 1899 he
buying claims from disguised miners.

CATTLE SCARCE; BEEF DEAR.
wester6 Mans Explanation of the Ad

vance in Market Prices.
New York, April 25.-Herschell v.
Jones of Minneapolis. editor of a week.
ly publication devoted to western trade
interests, is ct the Holland House. Mr.
Jones processes to be amused by the
onslaught being made on the beef trust,
because of the present high prices in
the meat market. "Outside of any
consideration of any trust" said Mr..
Jones, "the price of beef must neces-
sarily be high because of the great
scarcity of beef cattle on the ranges.
The fact that receipts at the western
primary markets, Chicago, Omaha, ST.
Joseph and Kansas City, equal the re-
ceipts of the same period of last year
has led to the opinion here and in the
east that the price has been raised ar
bitrarily. We can't draw comparisons
on the number of cattle received-the
comparison must be made on the quail
ity of the cattle.
Last fall cattle were rushed to mar
ket by a majority of the small ranch
men, because of the shortage of feed.
The corn crop had failed and the hay
crop in many places was short. This
compelled the marketing of underfed
steers. Some of the larger ranchmen
were unable to carry their cattle thru
the winter and realize the present high
prices.
Every cattleman in the west knew
these high prices were coming this
spring, but few of them had the capital
to carry their cattle thru. Those who
were able to stick the winter out are
now getting cents pound on the
hoof for their herds"

BUTTER TAKES A SHARP FALL.
Warm Weather Leads to a 7-cent De
cline in a Few DAYS.

New York. April 25.-The butter
market has undergone market change
in the last few days. When the prices
of all food staples went up the dealers
experienced no difficulty in raising the
price of butter to 33 cents pound
wholesale. Today the same grade of
butter sold for 26 cents.
This mercurial rise and fall is ac-
counted for in many ways. The warm
weather has increased the productive
ness of the COWS, This means an in
crease in cream and the dairyman
made haste to put his increased stock
on the market in its most available
form. Again, at this season, butter is
not kept long in stores. 1t must be dis
tributed quickly or its market value
rapidly declines.
The condition of the egg market has
been much the same. Standard eggs
brought Is cents a dozen wholesale last
week. They sold for 16A cents today.

SPECTATORS SCARED
Reports Of Heavy Rainfall Had
Immense Effect On the
Markets.
Wheat Went Down With a Thud,
Followed by corn..Rally
Later.
Cattle Steady and Hogs Strong
to S Cents Higher..Sheep
Steady.

Chicago, April 5.-Pandemonium
ruled &. irst half hour of grain spec
VI; len ,caay. General rains in many
wheat states and fair traces of it in
Kansas precipitated a selling move
ment in wheat at the opening that for
time promised panic. Even in spite
of the remarkably firm English cables
everybody turned sellers. Commission
houses had big liquidating orders.
There was almost no demand early ana
prices dropped rapidly. May wheat
cents lower, with sales as wide apart
as 74A to 1891. July started at rs to
15A and weakened Is of a cent further
Gradually trade began to control itself
and spectators viewed the situation
more calmly. Prices began to crawl up
again as shorts covered their accounts
at liberal profits. May worked up to
74ss and July steadied around 1855.
After the opening tumult subsidized.
there was a fairly active market with
prices inclined to hang steadily at a
liberal decline. May closed 1A@1A
lower to 741s: July IL off at 1910
75as.
The corn pit for time was ever
more excited than wheat. Heavy rains
and sympathy with the wheat break
were depressing factors. Every trader
had plenty of stuff for sale Country
offerings were reported larger, tho Liv-
erpool cables were steady. Corn
slumped worse than wheat, breaking
2A in a few minutes. May started va
IL. lower at 621a@631s and weakened to
62B. July opened la@1 cent down -
64@631s, touched 621s before traders
gained control Of themselves. Then
many who We're natural bulls on influ-
ences aside from recent wheat advance,
became nervous because they had sold
and with investors jumping into the
market sent prices upwards again al
most as quickly as they had fallen.
May finally stes.died at 62A; July at
63h.
Corn had a fair reaction that contin-
ued for some time. May sold up again
TO bZh2 W6z9s, July TO 64. Inc close,
however, was weak, May and July fin
ishing cent lower at 6aA @f3k.
Oats had small trade early, but
were depressed in sympathy with
breaks in other grains. May opened IL
down at AZ and weakened TO AIS and
then reacted to 42A.
Provisions had a firm hog market to
support them against the depression in
grains and held remarkably steady for
q time and trade, was quiet.
