Chicago. March 25.-Despite the i'm

as alleged by Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture, a general
advance OF meat prices. asserted by

a storm of Indignation against the

which began in the east, is making it's
way westward, and probably will be
felt in Kansas City in a short time if
the prices there have not already been
raised.
There Is said to be absolutely no oc-
