Chicago. Sept 24.-Chairman Thomas Taggart. of the Democratic National Committee, paid his long. promised visit to Chicago today. and l was busy every minute.
 lie met several hundred Democrat ic politicians from all parts of the State. attended a meeting of the State Committee, was a guest of hon. or at a luncheon in the Iroquois Club, and. finally. had a talk with National Committeeman Sullivan, John P. Hop kins and State Chairman Boeschen- stein.
 NJ. Taggart said he would make no announcement as to whether head quarters will be maintained in Chi cago until he arrives in New York. It is understood, however, that there will be no national headquarters here and that the work in Illinois. Wiscon- sin and other neighboring States will be done by the respective State Com mittees. This is in accordance with the advice of Messrs. Sullivan and Hopkins.
 I ing any torecasting of election returns or making predictions about ma joritIes. he talks quite freely about the political outlook.
 ''Thc general conditions from a Democratic standpoint at this stage of the campaign are most encourag- Ing." said he q came from New York recently. and the feeling therc is one of confidence that the Demo crats will cary that State. In Con necjicut, New Jersey and West Vi7- ginia the situation IS very favorable to Democratic success.
 'I was in Indiana three days. and met all the leading Democrats of the State at conferences held for the pur- pose of getting at the situation. The reports were invariably good. i The conferences convinced me that every Democrat is in line thls year | the gold men. the silver men. the | friends of MT. Hurst. and everybody n fact. All are together and work | lag hard for the ticket. Our or gaEization is in first class shape in ai! ten States I have named. and Is accomplishing work which will speah for itself al the November election
 You may say that there is absolute ] ly no discord at the Democratic head I quarters All these stories originate i in Republican papers. which have nothing else to print Everything is progressing to our satisfaction. Nc
 Carren and Murphy are trying to set how big majority they can roll up fol the ticket in New York. I think there
 is little doubt about that sate goinl for Parker The nomination of Hig gins for Governor is going to hell
 the Democrats a great deal.

Stockyards Strike Grows Worse.

CHICAGO, Sept. l.-Eight hundred
police were distributed about the stock
yards this morning to prevent antici-
pated trouble. Rigid picketing is in
progress and today President Donnel.
~ declares the real struggle has only
begun. The packers assert that the
strike is on its last legs.
The efforts of President Donnelly to
spread the strike against the packers
throughout all trades that are in any
way connected with the packing house
industry were only partially success
full. The first step was in calling out
the men employed by the independent
packers and the stock handlers that
were still at work for those packers
against whom the original strike was
made. The total number of men who
quit work in response to the appeals
OF President Donnelly was about 5000.
Not a bullock, hog or sheep has
been driven out of the stockyards
since the order to the handlers went
into force. A committee of livestock
owners and commission men has
waited upon President Donnelly and
requested permission to load cattle
now IN the yards for shipment to the
east.

Wyoming Murder Mysteries.

CODY, Wyo.. Aug. 3l.-The head
less body of an unknown man has
been found floating in the Shoshone
river short distance from this city,
and great excitement prevails as a re-
suit of the find, as this is the third
mysterious disappearance within the
past few months. An examination of
the body failed to reveal anything
that might lead to the identity OF the
man.
The man was undou btedly one of
the large number of land buyers who
are now coming into Big Horn Basin
to seek homes under the great irrig a.
tion systems being constructed here.
The officers have accepted the theory
that man was murdered and robbed.
The coroner's jury decided the victim
ties unknown and the body was buried
on the river bar on the spot where it
was found.
Two hOmeseekers who came here
some time ago have disappeared and
not the slightest trace of their where
abouts can be discovered. 1t is now
believed they were murdered and that
a regularly organized gang of cut
throats is operating in this section.

the Panama republic, entrusted with
investing nearly $lO,OOO,O0O here for
their government, have nearly COM
pleted the task. The fund is a part OF
the S40,000,00o paid by the United
States for the Panama canal. About

no pressing need for the money it was
left on deposit, but netted only , per

Waiting for Reservation Opening.

BLACKFOOT, Idaho, Aug. 3l.--In-
terest in the opening of the reserv a.
tion lands near Pocatello, on Septen-
Der 6, is unabated. The crowd in
waiting at the land office, is increased
upon the arrival of every train. In
qulries pour into the land Office from
all parts Of the country and the out
look is an immense crowd will be lined
up by Saturday. Today several wo-
men put in an appearance, but were
discouraged by the size of the crowd
and the prospect of long wait. They
expect to return later in the week,
however. An effort was made today
to have all in line sign an agreement
that each would respect the rights of
those who hold a number, but it was
soon overruled. Fear of complica-
tions promoted the action. Had this
been done it would have relie> ed the
strain and permitted the parties in
line freedom they do not now enjoy.

dred retail druggists in the United

citation of Retail Druggists, of which

Jointly by mem bers of the Switchmens'
union and members of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, it was de-
cided that the members of both crgan-

those switchmen. who are mem bers of

MAY CAUSE MEAT FAMINE.
Stockyards Strikers Hope to Close All
Packing Plants In the Country.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-In accordance
with the plan adopted yesterday by
the strike leaders to continue aud ex-
tend the packing house strike, and
realizing that the life of the union is
at stake unless more forceful blows
are struck at the packers, the union
officials this morning called out the
stock handlers employed in the Union
Stock yards and Transit company to
the number of $50. OF these l25 are
special policemen. The remainder
are employed in weighing, counting,
feeding and driving cattle.
President Donnelly aimed another
blow at the packers this morning when
he announced he would Immediately
call out the butchers and all workmen
in independent plants. The order will
affect in all about 1000 men in Chica
60 and ten independent plants. The
order, if obeyed, will also affect in
dependent plants of large capacity in
the east, in Omaha, ST. Louis, Kansas
oAVJs o4OuA SlUJ, ANc" oIhs MIL W du-
kee, Syracuse, Stickney, Ill.,, and
hundreds of smaller places through
out the country which employ from
ten to twenty men. Altogether, union
officials assert that $4,000 men will 90
out, and the meat supply will be ser.
iously crippled, leaving as the only
supply the output of the big packers
by their non-union help.
Today the pickets surrounding the
yards were largely increased and
strikebreakers were warned not to
leave the yards. Six hundred stock
handlers at the stockyards quit work.
They were greeted by cheers by the
union pickets. The packers say it is
Donnelly's aim to create "a meat fam
inc which he thinks would arouse the
public to such pitch of indign alton
that d settlement would be forced.

LAO YANG, Aug. 3l.-The battle is
