him that he had just re cached his

but he soon adapted himself to
the surroundings and at once
entered into the fun of the eve
ming, which consisted of games,
and visiting, and ended in par
taking OF a delicious supper.
The visitors fingered TO a late
hour, then complimenting Mrs.
Lewis for her pleasant surprise
birthday party, and wishing Mr..
Grigsby many more likesurpris
meetings, they departed for
their homes.

Will be Sent Is the Pen.

VIM. Mullaney, who was in
dicted by the Grand Jury on
the charge of receiving money
under false pretense, was SEN
fenced by Judge Macy to two
years in the penitentiary at
hard labor. John A. Parsons,
who was indicted for forgery,
plead guilty and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for eighteen
months at hard labor.
The case of L. G. Goodrich VS.
the school township of Cincin-
natl was decided in favor of the
school directors. Goodrich sued
for $3.50 salary as school teach
er. 1t seems Goodrich had a
verbal agreement with the di-
rectors to teach the school at
California junction and after
teaching two months the Board
decided to have a vacation of
one month. During this time
it is claimed Goodrich resigned
his position and the board hired
another teacher to finish out
the term. When school began
Goodrich announced his inten-
ton of continuing as teacher
but the board would not allow
it, and it is the salary for this
part of the term he sued for.
The case was first taken to the
county superintendent, who
found in favor of Goodrich,
and the state superintendent
affirmed the decision of the
county superintendent, but the
jury did not see it that way. 1t
is said Goodrich will appeal the
case to the supreme court.

Letter from li,e SOUTHWEST.
HANSON City, Missouri,
February 10th, 1904.
Friend Bob,
will now try to tell you
something of this city. 1t is
quite a city, some larger than
Mo. Valley, but we will wager
that there isn't a Dick Robin
son in all its borders.
This is a city of deviating and
winding ways; the streets are
morrow, and very high, Chat is,
| suppose the streets extend to
the tops of the buildlngs). Some
of the streets are not more than
20 feet between curb lines, and
six stories high, other streets
are 40 to 60 feet wide, and are
double tracked for street cars;
this leaves room enough for We
hicles and pedestrians; except
at or near corners where the
cross eros street; htlasara9ll9sdI , 9nto J. 3 ;
erratic in their ways; | can't tell
where they go, that is, most of
them, and haven't seen any
one yet that can tell; | don't
think even the moterman HIM
self knows; they run very fast,
just as if they were going home
for dinner; most of the east and
west cars, are cable cars north
land south are electric cars, and
are liable to stop anywhere or
nowhere. Sometimes on one
side of a crossing and sometime
on the other, and lots of times
don't stop at ali. A signalman
is standing at each point where
two lines cross. and he stops
and starts them with a club
We often see 6 OF Z cars all on
the same line going in the same
direction, and no two of them
over 30 feet apart. Their chief
mission seems to be to scare
those who don't ride on them.
People here are like they are
everywhere else; they will run
to cross ahead of AGAR, and then
turn and watch it go by; | tried
it the other day, but the measly
thing switched off and took af-
ter me, and | described a half
circle and came out ON the same
side | started in on, but it didn't
catch me, but | studiously avoid
that corner ever since then.
This is a city of flats; some
are flatter than others; | sup
pose there are sharps here also.
Most of the flats are apartment
houses and are nice modern
buildings, making good, COM
Portable homes; they are both
tall and high; and built on the
style of Mr.. M. I. Weston, call
ed "sparely built" They have

rets and towers, besides lights
and livers. | room in an apart

from one to three fifty per week,
board from $3.50 to $500.
There are many hotels, some
run on the American plan, and
some on the European plan, but
most Of them on no particular
plan, and the same is true of
the restaurants and boarding
houses.
This is a city Of Churches;
spires representing every de-
nomination known in America,
points up, and we hope their
teachings point in the same di-
rectlon.
The Post office building here
is a splendid structure, covering
half q block, and we learn that
this season the other half of the
block, which is now a fine lawn,
is to be covered by an addition,
this will a building covering an
entire block, and be a magnifi-
cent one too.
Kansas City was evidently
laid out with a view Of making
it necessary for a stranger to
buy a guide. for a great many
of the streets are like the mid
die bal. in the letter H, and only
two or three blocks long. Wash
ington street is Washington
south to 18th ST., thence become
Penn5ylvany Avenue while
Washington is one block east.
Then there is one place on 18th
where two streets come togeth-
er and form Main St, and so il
goes; the streets are hard t(
find and impossible to follow
they are very irregular, like the
habits of some of the people Of
the city.
We like our new work very
much. Our office is on the 5tf
floor of the Hall building, Cor
9th and Walnut, and comforta
IDLY furnished. An elevator is
run continually from 8 a. m. tx

have been made in many coun-
ties, among them the organiza-
ton formed in this county last
week. The purpose of the Corn
Belt Meat Producers associa-
ton is to make concerted action
by legislation and otherwise in
opposition to the packers. The
movement is not intended to
raise the price of meats, but the
stock raisers and feeders pro-
pose, if possible, to prevent the
packers from driving out COM
petition in the state by invading
towns and placing the finished
product on sale in shops owned
by them. Where a local butch
er will not buy their meats at
extortinate prices they have
b zen in the habit Of opening a
shop in his town, running him
out of business, and then max
ing prices to suit themselves.
There is a big a margin between
the price of the unfinished and
the finished product, and if
consumers have to pay a high
price for their meats they
would prefer to know that at
| east a part of the profit goes to
the feeder. Seven states in the
corn belt will be thoroughly Or
G snized by the stock feeders.

the mine was exploded. The force OF

Chicago. sept. s.--Thc strike OF the
butcher workmcn. which has demor-
allied the meat packing Industry
throughout the country for the last
two months. was officially declared on
tonight by President Mlchael J. DON
nelly. This morning Donnelly tele-
sraphed the members Of the national
executive committee. asking their con-
sent 10 an announcement Of the end Of
the struggle. and tonight, having re-
ceived favorable answers from all. he
declared that the strike would end at
midnight,
The strike OF the members Of the MI
lated unions at the atockyards, who
quit work in sympathy with the butch
ers, will be officially called or tomor-
row morning at meeting Of the CEN
tral board Of the allied trades. The
general body was at first In favor OF
continuing the strike, but Donnelly an
nounced that the men were defeated,
and that In order 10 save his sinlon
from being totally disrupted he would
order his men to return to work In the
morning AS the other unions had no
grievance and had gone on strike 10
aid the butchers, there was nothing
left for them but to follow the lead OF
Donnelly.
When the packers were notified to-
night that II had been decided TO end
the strike they announced they would
give places as far as possible to skilled
men. but II was stated at the same
time that many of these men would
be unable to secure their old places
as In many cases the work was being
performed In a satisfactory manner by
men who had been secured since the
commencement of the strike. II is ex-
pected the majority OF the unskilled
men will be unable 10 secure their
places again. II was the question OF
wage scale for this class OF men that
brought about the strike. the packers
refusing 10 sign an agreement with
any class other than skilled workmen,
During the strike approximately 53,-
900 persons have been involved In the
struggle. which is estimated TO have
cost the men about s5,Ooo.OoO in wages
and s7,5oO,OOO to the packers in loss
OF business.
