HELPS THE FARMERS.
SENATOR BURT0N's WISE ADD.
TON TO TREATY.
Kansas Corn and Wheat TO Have
Wider Market Under the New
Provisions With Cuba Because Of
His Efforts.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Burton achieved a parliamentary VIC
tory in connection with the Cuban
treaty ia securing the adoption Of an
amendment increasing the reduction
OF the Cuban tariff on -four, corn and
cornmsal from 20 to 80 per cent.
While Kansas does not export much
wheat, 1t does export great deal Of
flour and corn. Mr.. Burton regards
the treaty as amended Of great value,
compared with the provision Of the
bill which was before the senate last
year, while the amendment Of the
sugar beet senators is held to com.
init the country against any further
reduction Of the rates of the Dingley
bill for five years, both against Cuba
and other countries, and no further
reduction will be made with other
countries. ut settles the uncertainty
respecting the tariff schedules on
sugar created by the agitation Of
Cuban reciprocity a year ago." said
the senator today. II think 1t Ia en-
tirely safe to say that the majority Of
people will concede the treaty to be
vastly superior to the provisions pro-
posed in the senate bill year ago. "

BEEF PACKERS LOSE.

Jefferson City, Mo, March 2l.--lhe
Missouri supreme court yesterday
found five large beef packing compa-
mics guilty Of maintaining an uniaw-
full commission to control prices OF
meat in the state OF Missouri and Is
sued an order of custer prohibiting
them from doing business in TINS
state and to pay fine OF $1,000 each
and bear the costs of the proceed
ings. TAe companies are given ~
days in which to pay the fne i'm
posed and II during that time they
accept the Judgment and pay the fine
the custer will be held in allegiance
and the companies permitted TO DO
business. The opinion OF the so
called beef trust case was witnessed
by Judge C. G. Marshall and con-
CURED in by each Of the six other
judges Of the court in banc. The
companies affected by the decision
are the Armour Packing company,
Cudahy Packing company, Hammond
Packing company and Swift q Co.,
of Chicago, and Schwarzchild q Sulz-
berger, Of New York. All OF the
above, named companies maintain
branches in different cities of the
United States and in Missouri at St.
Louis, Kansas City and st. Joseph.
The evidence adduced which incrimi-
mated the packers was obtained in
these three cities.
The decision in the supreme court
yesterday against the packers is the
ending of a proceeding which was
instituted last May. On the 9th OF
May, 1902, the different packing COM
panies doing business in the state
were ordered by the supreme court
to appear here before Judge Bur-
CESS, Of the court, and show cause
why they should not be cited to APP
pear and be arraigned to the charge
of violating the ANTITRUST laws OF
the state in combining to maintain
prices in Missouri. The result Of the
hearing led Attorney General Crow
to file suit against the packers, who
were prosecuted vigorously by him
on the part of the state. Hearings
were had at st. Louis, Kansas City,
St. Joseph and Jefferson City before
/. II. Kinley, who had been appointed
commissioner to hear testimony.
The packers excepted 70 the report
Of the commissioner, but the except
ance was overruled by the court and
the case was submitted. Attorneys
Frank Hagerman and Alexander
New, of Kansas City, acted as coun-
sci for the packers.
The opinion holds that the evi-
dence obtained at the hearings
shows conclusively that there was
commission of the packers to main
tain trust prices on beef in Missouri,
that the representatives Of the pack
ers met on certain dates to fix the
prices for the week, that Relating
was done, that the same prices pre-
vailed at all the coolers at the same
time, that no competitor could en-
ter the field against the packers be-

MANY PRETTY WOMEN.
The big show is especially notable this
year for pretty women, and among the most
attractive. both as to figure and feature. is
Miss Helene Girard. Miss Girard is a
French girl. Her speciality is high-school
menage riding and driving. and in this par
ticular she is said to be without a peer
either in this country or Europe. She pre-
sents two acts, and each is a novelty. At
tired In white, and made up TO represent
Joan OF Arc, she presents a most attractive
series or pictures on horseback, The horse
Is also pure white, without a blemiSh, and
assists in the effectiveness of the scene by
keeping perfectly rigid during the evolu-
ton OF circular platform on which horse
and rider are posed. Her second appear
ance is even more successful. In this act
she displays new kind of menage act in
which unique horse. called, on account of
ms color. Leopard. is put through some
very astonishing poses while drawing a
buggy with a single shaft that extends over
his back and works on a swivel on the
saddle Trained dogs are cleverly intro
duced in this attractive display, and the act
creates more than usual comment and in
terest.
The show has many other clever women
who perform notable acts, especially among
the aerialists. So far as the mid-air per-
formances are concerned there is a general
agreement among those who have seen the
show this spring that they surpass in thrill
ing interest and magnitude anything hith-
erto seen in this country. The Clarkonians,
who turn double and twisting somersauts,
have made an especially strong impression.
The entire circus company numbers 800 per-
formers from all parts of the world. They
appear in three rings. on two stages, in
mid-air and upon a huge hippodrome track,
and. in connection with the forty clowns,
who are credited with actually being funny,
they give a performance that was the talk
of New York for six weeks and has served
to crowd that great canvas auditorium
twice day during the past week in Brook
lyn. The attractions OF the big show do
not end with the performance proper. There
is splendid spectacle and series of elab-
crate ballets. a complete hippodrome. and.
what is equally interesting. a magnificent
geological display, given in connection with
the congress of strange and curious freaks
from all parts of the world. The models of
the fighting ships OF the United States
navy, of which so much has been said and
written, are also exhibitend in the me-
nagerie pavilion. The Barnum & Bailey
