the packing houses in this city and in
consequence $500 men will quit work

ST. LOUIS, July 12.-It is said to-
night that $500 men employed in pack
ing houses in st. Louis and East ST.
Louis are out as a result of the order
received to-day from President Dom
nelly of the Amalgamated Meat CUT

America.
Packers in East ST. Louis expect no
immediate increase in the price of
meat, as it is understood that the
coolers are filled with a supply that
will last about two weeks. An almost
unlimited supply of smoked and cured
meats Is on hand.
About 1000 cattle were received to-
day. 1t is said that cattle will con-
tinue to be received and will be weigh
ed and killed according to the demand.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 12.-Col-
onel Nevitsky of the general staff
gave out an interview to-day in which
he said:
THE result of the loss of Kaichou
probably will be the evacuation Of
Newchwang. General Kuropatkin's S
position is more difficult than that
which confronted Lord Roberts in
South Africa. 1t is as if Lord Roberts
received his supplies by rail via Con-
stantinople, Cairo and Central Africa
1t will be a long time before General
Kuropatkin will have enough supplies
and men to assume the offensive. In
the meanwhile he will have to fight
rear guard actions, perhaps giving up
important positions like Newchwang.

CONTENTION OF STRIKERS.
President Donnelly, the strike lead
er, said:
L wish to make it clear that we are
not fighting for an increase of wages,
but against the decrease. Our original
demand was for a minimum of 20 cents
an hour for laborers. This demand was
amended after our second conference
with the packers, in June. We then
agreed to scale of 1917 cents an hour,
except in Omaha and Sioux City, where
the scale is 19 cents. The packers, on
the other hand, refused to pay more
than 111k cents an hour, and declined
to sign any agreements at all, except
with a small portion of the workmen.
The question of wages to skilled
men was not discussed. To unskilled
workmen the average wage was 1917
cents an hour, but when we asked
that this be made the minimum wage
they cut it to 171z cents and 15 cents.
Men could live on Is cents if they
got steady work, but in some plants
men have been able to work only
thirteen hours a week at this wage
scale. They could not live on it. No
one could"
Wholesale markets that supply
meats to the hotels of Chicago say
they have enough carcases on hand
to keep the guests of all the large
hostelries munching for several
weeks. The managers of the hotels,
therefore, are not worrying over an
impending famine.
STOCKYARDS NOT AFFECTED.
A feature Of the strike that is apt
to be overlooked is the fact that the
strikers organization does not include
the electricians, steam filters, firemen,
engineers, carworkers and teamsters.
These make in Chicago alone a total
of 5000 additional men, who may or
may not be made idle wholly or in
part, voluntary or otherwise, accord
ing to the DEVELOPMENTS in the strug-
gle between the direct contestants
the packing-house proprietors on the
OHC S4QC anu ttAC DulS1Cl6 dllQ ntlD6TS
on the other.
The employees of the Union Stock
yards here are not affected by the
strike of the packing-house employees,
and while. in view of notices sent by
commission houses to their country
customers. shipments may fall off to
some extent, it is expected that cat
tie, hogs and sheep will continue to
arrive from the West and South. This
expectation grows out of the fact
that, under the decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, rates
shall be equal to large and small
shippers and that no rebates are per-
riissible. If the strike continue long
it is quite probable that many small
slaughterers will resume business in
the large cities throughout the coun-
try. and that the large part of the
cattle, sheep and hogs received at the
Union Stockyards here will be bought
and shipped East.

IMPROVING THE BEES.
With Care the Beginner Can Do Much
in the Way Of Profitable
Breeding Up.

Although the mating Of queens can
not be controlled like that of larger
stock, with care considerable can be
done to breed up and improve bees.
If there is no Italian blood in the
swarm, the first step will be to pur-
chase an italian queen. If one has
Italians or hybrids they can be still
further improved by the purchase Of q
new queen freshly imported from
abroad. It is always well to mark the
colonies that have stored the most
honey and breed from them the next
year. It is very difficult to keep 1tal-
ian bees pure, as the queens will meet
black drones If there are any in the
vicinity; but the cross between blacks
and Italians is often quite as good.
The black bees have some redeeming
features, but they are generally too
cross for comfort Theoretically speak
ing the best time to purchase an 1tal-
ian queen is early in the season. It
should be noticed, however, that they
are sold at considerably reduced rates
in the fall and so there are financial
advantages in favor of the latter. AS
the queens generally live about three
years, it is well enough to purchase one
in the fall and have it already for
business in the spring.-Prairie

Profit from Spring Chickens.

Spring chickens might be made q
much more profitable source Of income
on the farm If more attention were paid
to raising them. 1t is just as important
that a good start be made in forcing
the Matching season as in early garden
vegetables. There is always a good
market demand for the surplus at strong
prices. The profit on early chickens
should encourage the use of incubators
as soon as good eggs can be procured.
Then the chicks should be cared for
and forced as rapidly as possible. 1t
pays much better to raise early chicks
at 80 or 40 cents pound than later ones
at eight or ten cents.-Prairie Farmer.
A Cheap Fence for Ducks.
As large ducks do not attempt to fly
over a low fence, an excellent mode of
making a cheap fence for ducks is to
take two pieces Of scantling one by three
inches, known as shingling-lath, and
saw as many laths in half as may be
desired. The sawed laths will be two
feet long. Nail them to the scantling,
the laths being two inches apart. Let
the ends Of the latE extend three inches
above and below the scantling, which
brings the scantling about foot apart.
You will then have q panel that can be
fastened to short posts. A fence two
feet high is sufficient to cone Pekin
ducks.-FArm and Fireside.
Bees Annoyed b. skunks.
In the late summer and fall bees are
sometimes greatly annoyed by skunks.
The cooler the weather the more disas-
trous are the .depredations. Their
scratching on the hive causes the bees
to fly out in large numbers, and those
not devoured by the skunks perish from
the cold. Large swarms are sometimes
ruined In this way. A steel trap is the
quickest and surest way to get rid OF
the skunk nuisance. The trap should
be attached by chain to pole about
q rod long with which the animal can
generally be removed and drowned with
out any odor.-Prairie Farmer.

LIFE OF DECEASED.

Thomas J. Watson was born in Hickman county, Kentucky, in 1846, and received a college edu- cation in Virginia under the classic walls of Emery and Henry College. Coming to -Jacksonport in 1857, he has since that time been prominently identified with the progress and growth of this sectionA During the war he served with distinction in For rests cavalry, and at the end of that bloody strife, again located in Jacksonport. He was also a merchant at Swifton, and when Newport came to be the successor of Jacksonport in commercial ac- tivity, he moved his family here in the year 1882.
 When Oklahoma City first loomed into promise, MT. Watson moved to that city and was one

of the promoters of the electric light and water system there. But the home of his old friends drew him back once more to the banks of the White.
 MT. Watson was married at Jacksonport in 1868, to Miss Elizabeth Board, second daugh- ter of Colonel Board, prov isional governor, who sur wives him, also four children, Mrs. R. l.. Bennett of College Station, Tex, Mrs. T. J. Gregg and Miss Bessie Watson and Dr.. Ebert Watson of Crowley, La.
 To the family, bound by strongest ties of love to a kind father and devoted husband, their many friends in Newport would offer the sympathy of hearts that are akin in sorrow.

HOXIE RECEIVES
 HELEN GOULD.

Miss Helen M. Gould changed her itinerary and disappointed a large crowd of admirers who ex- pected to greet her Thursday, says the Blade of Walnut Ridge, The change brought her.to Hoxie. at 6:30 a. m., and she left at s a. m. At 8:30, in company with her party she went to the Y. M. C.. A. building and inspected same from basement to garret, after which an informal reception was held in the library. The Hon. John s. Gibson, of Hoxie, deliv- cred the address of welcome in his happiest vein, to which Miss Gould responded in her own characteristic manner. Her re- marks were pointed and business like. At the conclusion of same, the entire crowd was presented to Miss Gould and her party, and were greeted by a hearty hand shake.
 Miss Gould is tho personifica- tion of simplicity, she is very ap- proachable, and her genial smile which she wears upon all occa- sions, puts all at ease. It would never be necessary for the photo- grapher to say, 'Now look pleas ant" for she looks that way all time.

 Crosby, who, previous to this time had remained calm and in- different, broke down and cried bitterly as the officers returned him to jail. It is understood that Judge Fulkerson will pass sen- tence upon him Monday morn ing.

PRESCOTT VISITED

Seventy-Five Thousand Dollar Fire In Business and Resi-.

Prescott, Ark, October 21.- One of the most disastrous fires that has visited Prescott in many years, started this afternoon at 3;;3O o'clock and destroyed about S75, GOO worth of property in few hours, The fire originated in the warehouse of Levi Fran cisco, aad caught from a spark from a passing engine. A fierce wind was blowing at the time, and the fire soon spread in two directions, going to the residence portion of the town on the east, and the business portion on the north.
 The supply of water was in- adequate, and for a time it looked like everything east of the rail- road was doomed. The flying sparks set fire to number of buildings many blocks away, but these were soon extinguished. A lag of the wind at 6 o'clock stop ped the fire just as it was ap- preaching the main business cen ter of town.
