drovers have sold all their cattle.
The explanation Of the packers as
to the disparity between beef on ths
hoof and beef on the block is most
amusing. They say it is due to an
| appetite among consumers for the
| choice cuts, in combination with an
excessive output Of cattle by the
stock raisers. The packers deny that
there is an agreement TO control the
| market, and declare that consumers
demand porterhcuse steak and the
rough meats, which constitute the
greater portion of the carcass, slow are
of sale and low in price. This is an old
story that has been worn to the bone
by both packer and retailer.
One Chicago packer blames the re-
tailers for the situation which has
set in motion an inquiry by the De-
partment of Commerce.
III the Department of Commerce
can get at the bottom facts it will
probably find that there is an agree
ment between the packers as to the
control Of the cattle market, and al
so agreements bet veen the retailers
as to the prices to consumers. The
former have to work things on a
large scale because of the wholesale
nature of their business, while the
latter have only to agree to maintain
card rates. Sometimes the packer
has the best of the squeeze, and
sometimes the retailer enjoys the
advantage. But tie cattle raiser and
consumers are sufferers always, at
both ends Of the market. The way
out for the former is to quit cattle
raising, and the way ont for the con-
sumner is to cut down his meat ration.
People in the east cannot afford to
eat meat AS freely as do the people

VINO SqueezeS up the Beef Markets?

The Chicago Daily News has been
trying to forestall the probing by the
Department of Commerce as TO the
cause of the illogical disparity be-
tween the prices of beef on the hoof
and beef on the block, by systematic
questioning OF cattle shippers and
packers. The opinions of shippers as
to the cause of the low price of live
beef vary somewhat, but most Of the
shippers believe that the market for
live stock is manipulated by the
packers, although they admit thaa
they have no direct evidence going
to prove the assertion. One shipper
said that he had often had cattle on
The market when he could get only
one packer to bid on them. This re-
calls the statement of drover who
noted the same peculiar fact in his
own case, and through his curiosity
watched his cattle after he had sold
them to the only buyer who had APP
peared, and saw them delivered in
lots, one lot to each Of the packers Of
the alleged combination. One cattle
raiser ascrIbed the low price OF beef
on the hoof to overproduction as n
result OF the high prices in the fan
of 1902. Another dealer aseribed the
drop TO rush Of beef to market from
cattle raisers who are going out of
the business. This dealer predicts
higher prices after the disguised

Madison Journa Clara Barton

ceeds her. Miss Barton has done
beautiful work since the civil war.
She has gone all over the world,
wherever she heard the roar OF heavy
artillery, or the cry of distress, from
whatever cause, There has been frlc-
ton in the Red Cross society and a
faction has long endeavored to dis
lodge the lady from the presidency.
With such arecord behind her, what
ever her limitations in later years,
1t was impossible for kind hearts to
demand that she give way to more
efficient hands, Happily her own
resignation cleared the way.

Ir has been claimed by his friends
and quite generally admitted that
Congressman Babcock was one oil
the shrewdost politicians in the
state. This estimation was reduced
fifty per cent by his participation
and action ia state convention al
fairs last week. The fact that while
five sixths of bis district earnestly
and Enthusiastically supported La
Toilette, he worked against them
and finally joined the boilers, show
ed lack OF shrewdness, to say moth
ing OF aisrespect for the wishes OF
his constituents.

WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS DIVIDED.
Case Going to Courts and q Warm
Time Inevitable.

L
been such situation as exists al
present, in fact 1904 is to become MS
toric with the Badgers politically
The events of last week at Madison
startled every statesman ana poll
tician of the country. There is no
prospect of compromise, such as
would adjust or bridge the chasm
which now separates the two wings
of the party. The contest will go to
the courts and the national conven-
ton.
The anti-La Toilette men have
| elected strong delegation, headed
by Senators Spooner and Quarles,
with Congressman Babcock and
Judge Baensch as the other two del
egates at-large. They will demand
seats in the national convention. On
the other hand, the La Toilette men
will be represented by Gov. LaFoll-
cite, Isaac Stephenson, State Sena-
tor James II. Stout and w. ID. Con-
nor. No stronger men could have
headed the contesting delegations
on either side. The national conven-
tion will have to decide which Is en-
titled to seats, and in so doing will
recognize which convention was
regular.
The anti-La Toilette faction, or boil
ters, will claim that delegates bear
ing credentials have the right to
take their seats in the temporary or
ganizaton of convention and re-
tain them until contestants have
been given the seats. The La Toilette
men will base their right to seats on
the claim that under the party usage
in Wisconsin the state central COM
mittee has for number Of years act
ed as committee on credentials.
Acting in that capacity, 1t made up
the roll Of delegates and presented
it to the conventions.
1t will be delicate question for
the national convention to handle.
| If 1t seats the anti-Follette delegates
| it will give the stamp Of regularity
to the "antis." This will make good
their party standing, although it
may not help much in the actual
contest in the state. Under the state
law, wnere there are two tickets put
| up by any party, one has to be rec
ognized by the secretary of state
! that has the credentials signed by
the last duly constituted party COM
mitree. In the present case this would
| be the former state central commit
| tee, which is La Toilette.
Therefore it would seem as though
| the La Toilette ticket would have to
be placed on the official ballot. This
would carry with it the ticket for
presidential electors and this will be
| the bone Of controversy. Many Re
| puhlicaus care more for the national
ticket than they do for La Toilette
or his opponents and are likely to
vote that ticket entire which con-
tains the presidential electors. This
would mean perhaps thousands OF
! votes to whichever ticket has the
presidential electors at the head
The courts will be called upon to de-
eide which ticket is regular and
which must occupy a subordinate
position on the official ballot.

THE BOI 7.

Nothing of a political nature has
so concerned every household in
Wisconsin in the history OF the state
as the bolt ut the Republican con-
vention last week. A plain, unbiased
statement covering the matter, AS
near as can be gathered is this: 1865
delegates composed the convention.
OF these - Toilette had $40 conceded
him by the opposing faction, while
81 seats were supposed to be involved
in contest or doubt, but instead of
53 delegates conceded La Toilette
from Milwaukee there proved to be
SO, and this without dispute. This in
creased La Follette's strength to $40.

there were six anti-La Toilette mem

CREAMERY AN
ASSURED FACT
Five Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
Subscribed by the People OF
Fergus County.
MANY COWS TO BEGIN WITH
Thomas Davidson, Who Has Worked
Up the Company, Speaks eneour.
aeineIy Of the Prospects.

IL is now an assured fact that a
good creamery will be located in Lew
iStown, the $500 required by the
creamery machinery company. having
been subscribed by the business men
of Lewistown and the immediate vi
cinity. Thomas Davidson, represen-
tative of the Hastings Industrial COM
pany, of Chicago. through whose ef-
forts the money was subscribed, left
the city Monday and the machinery
will be forthcoming az soon as the
building is ready for il.
The creamery will be located in or
very near Lewistown. Two parties
have offered some desirable land for
that purpose and the committee which
has been appointed for the purpose
of securing a site will have no diff
Guilty in finding a good place upon
which to locate the building for the
plant. The building will be con.
structed of wood and will consist of
a main room. AZ X 20 feet and an
IL % Y 20 feet in size. This will
accommodate the machinery and give
sufficient O for tile transaction
of all necessary business. 1t is eX.
pected that work will begin on the
building within the next ten days.
Mr.. Davidson has secured the prom.
Use of the milk from $50 cows with
which TO start the creamery. This
is about one-half capacity. That num-
Der of cows will give 5000 pounds of
milk daily and from that much milk
SS4 pounds of butter can be made.
All Of the cows which have been
promised are within a short distance
from this city and the milk can be
brought into the city very convent
emily. Level headed business men
believe that within one year the plant
will be running at its fullest capacity,
which requires the milk from 1000
cows, and that ii will be but a short
while before the plant will have to
be enlarged.
The Hastings Industrial company
will furnish one experienced opera
tor for the first season, who will see
that the machinery is started off in
good shape and will act as tutor to
someone who will learn the operat'
ing process. The entire plant will
require but a very small operating
force and the expenses will be small.
Ii is expected that the company will
run the year round. During the win
Ter months the amount of milk receiy'
ed will naturally fall off somewhat,
hut the falling off in product will be
made up by the increased price which
will be received for the butter. There
are now one or two very small cream
cries in operation in Montana and
L.ewistown will have n of the first
of a number which are being built

AtRSHIP INJURED.
Some Miscreant Slashes Gas Bag Of
Santos Dumont's Flyer.

Santos Dumont's Flyer.
st. Louis, June 2S.-Some time dur.
ing the night the bag of Santos Du.
mont's airship at the worlds fair
grounds was cut and slashed in such
a amer as to preclude all possibil.
ity of its being repaired in time to al.
low an ascension on July 4. There
are at least twenty long rips in the
bag, and Prof. Carl Meyers, who has
charge of the a%eronautic contests. said
today that 1t would take at least two
weeks to repair the damage. The big
gas bag had not yet been taken from
the crate in which it came from Par.
is. The cover had been removed by
a customs inspector and the crate
was rolled into the center of the big
shed prepared for the airship.
Being of an adhesive material the
bag was hung in folds from Stats nail
ed near the top of the crate and in
this way was prevented from becom.
ing a solid mass because OF its own
weight. There were several folds OF
the bag over each Stat, and the vandal
drew his knife across these, cutting
through from three to four thickness
es of material with each slash. The
work evidently was done in haste.
There were about a dozen Stats GOV
cred with folds of the bag and only
four or five of them were cut. When
the damage was discovered a mes
senger was sen TO M. Dumont and
he hurried to the scene. After ex'
aiming the bag. he said:
well it is just as | told the fail
people. This place is not secure
enough

sentative of the Associated Press.
