EXCITEMENT
THROUGHOUT
EUROPE,
Entire Continent Laboring With the
Dogs of War.

The entire eastern hemisphere seems
to be trembling in anticipation of a
general war which now seems inevitable.
Late advices state that every royal
house of Europe is laboring under the
fever heat of excitement. Armies are be-
ing modified. Navies are being strength
ened and battleships are being stationed
at points that will be of vantage in event
of war. Every monarch has an ear to the
ground to catch the first vibrations
that would indicate that the time to
strike the first blow has arrived.
AS a matter of dollars and cents this
means much for the United States, as all
these armies must be fed and no country
is SO well prepared to do it as this. And
no part of the United States is bet
ter fitted to do its share in this work
than the "bread-basket of the world, >

Disagreement was the result of TWEEN

$4,000 on account of the loss of Louis
Larson's arm. The case went to the jury
Saturday morning at $50 o'clock. The
jury remained out all day and all the
following night. On Sunday morning at

dict, and was discharged by Judge
Cray. Eleven stood out for judgment for
damages, but disagreed as to the amount
One Juror held out for no damages at
all. The case may be tried again at the
present term of court, but this is not
likely.
Another case that went to the jury
on Saturday was that of Samuel King
and Scion King, both of Good Thunder,
against the Mccormick Harvesting Ma
chine company. The suit was one
brought by the Kings for damages. A
stallion had been kept by the Kings for
one Wiltsie of Good Thunder. Wiltsie
went into bankruptcy and the McCor-
mick replevined the stallion to satisfy a
chattel mortgage against it. The Kings
brought forth bill for the feed and care
of the animal and the matter was at
length adjusted by the company return
ing the horse to the Kings. But the
horse was not in good condition when
returned to the Kings, and as the COM
pany would not give the Kings satisfac-
ton in respect to this the Kings brought
suit for damages. The case went to
the jury at four o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon and the verdict was returned
sealed at 1890 Saturday night. The YER
dict was opened and read in court this
morning, and was found to have award

Trust Is Rapidly Jack-Screwing the
Cost of Beef.
In 81. Paul Raise Of Three Cents
in Three Days.
Butchers Claim They Make No Profit
on the Sales.
In Mankato There Has Been Some AID
vance in Figures.

From Saturdays Daily.
Retail meat dealers in st. Paul an
nounced to their customers yesterday
that the meat trust had advanced the
wholesale price of prime beef three cents
"a pound in the last three days. They
are now forced to pay Is cents per pound
for good beef, bones and all.
Since January the total advance has
been about Az cents.
On account of this raise those dealers
who sell chiefly to the middle class af-
firm that they are placed in such posi-
ton that they must either sell at little
or no profit or lose a large portion OF
their business.
Proprietors of meat stores away from
the business center say they have not
been able to make proportional ad-
vance in the retail price for fear there
would be falling off of their sales
and consequently, the profits to the re-
taller must be small. Every time the
price is raised the people eat less meat
One man who dealt in meats for near
ly twenty years, says he never knew the
price so high to the consumer and give
so small profit to the dealer.
He says, further, that the advance is
simply arbitrary with the trust, as there
is not scarcity of cattle, good or poor.
In Mankato there has been an advance
in the price of beef, but it is not to the
