WHISKY WAR IMMINENT.
Selling for S1.23-Internal Revenue
ON Spirits S1.1O a Gallon.

OH DHiIitc OlslV q
Peoria, Ill. Nov. 5.-A sensation was
created this morning when it was an
nounced that the basing price of whisky
had again dropped from sl.24 to $1.23.
a drop by successive stages of 8 cents in
about two months. The continued
dropping of the market has created q
sensation in the ranks of the independ-
ents who are convinced that the Trust
has begun a war of determination.
The usual basing price is around $l.30.
When, therefore, it drops so low as the
present figure, it usually presages a
bitter war. Whisky men are reticent
as to details. giving the reason as strong
competition.
For some time past the war for bust
ness between the Trust houses and the
independents has been particularly ac-
tive. The fight has been carried on be-
tween the independents as individuals
and collectively against the Trust.
Well.informed whisky men are of
the opinion that the war has just be-
gun and that the price may go still
lower. All the local houses are run
ming at full capacity, grinding nearly
1O0,0 900 bushels of corn per day.
When the announcement of the re.
duction was made on Change scenes of
wild excitment ensued and the quota
tions were finally taken off the Board.

HOLD-UP WAS FAXED.
Remarkable Case Growing Out of
q Dog Wagging His Tail.

Charles Carr, who owns q mine on
Trinity river, near Junction City, Cal.
on Sept. Is last had settlement with
All Get, Chinaman, who had been
working a Chinese crew ON the Carr
mine. There was $597.45 due All Get,
and Carr laid the money on the table
and had the Chinaman give him q
receipt in full for all demands to date.
At that moment o masked robber en-.
tered the room and at the point of q
a revolver held Charles Carr and All
Get a bay. gathered mp the coin from
the table and made good his escape.
All Get noticed that the dog at
Oarr's place. which always barked
viciously when strangers came about
the place, welcomed the robber by wag-
ging his tail. The Chinaman had his
suspicious and decided to bring suit to
recover his money.
The case was tried before jury in
the Superior Court at Weaverville last
week and All Get was awarded judg-
ment against Charles Carr for the full
amount with interest from the date Of
the alleged robbery.
Carr set mp the defense that he had
a receipt in full. All Get alleged that
the robbery was fake affair. The
only persons present ON the Carr place
at the time of the hold-up were Charles
Carr. his mother, and cousin who was
sup posedly sharpening tools in the
blacksmith shop short distancea way.
The jury was out for three hours
without coming to an agreement. They
asked for further instructions. The
Court instructed them that if the evil
dence showed that the defendant had
paid the money over and planned to
recover it at once by fraud or force,
then the money had not been paid in
good faith and the receipt was not valid.
Having received these instructions the
jury was only minute or two in ar.
irving at a verdict in favor of All Get.

Little Lemon in Lemon Extracts.

Mttle DeinOu Ill LeInOn EAtFdcIS.
Herman Harms, State Chemist Of
Utah. recently made an examination for
the Board of Health of the various
brands of lemon extracts sold in Salt
Lake City with a view to ascertaining
what samples are dangerous to the
health of the consumer. He paid es-
pecial attention to the quality of the
extract and the use of cheap poisonous
wood alcohol in place of the pure liquid.
The standard lemon extract is supposed
to be per cent OIL of lemon dissolved
in alcohol. Out of 38 samples tested,
IL contained no oil at all. The extracts
were evidently made by the juice of
lemon peelings diluted in water colored
with vegetables or analine dyes to imi.
tate lemon. Seven samples contained
less than per cent of lemon oil seven
had from 3 to per cent; six contained
from 6 to 10 per cent (; and seven pos
sessed between 10 and 10 per cent of oil
of lemon. OF the samples submitted
those containing per cent of lemon oil
were for the most part colored by arti.
fetal means. The samples containing
more than per cent of oil Of lemon
were in the main high grade article
made in Salt Lake by local manufacture
ers. The imitation extracts were put
up in bottles upon which were labels

FEMININE PHILOSOPHY.

A man and his wife may be one, but
they can't wear the same pair Of

1t takes q woman to say "dear" in a
tone that makes it sound like cuss

In lots Of homes the family skeleton
sits at the foot of the table and does the

The difference between skin and a
complexion is that you can get the latter

Lots of women would like to be un-
happily married so that they would be
like the heroine of one of those fearful
novels.
When a pretty girl is careful to pull
her skirts down so that her feet won t
show it is sign that she has ON an old
pair of shoes.
There are lots of old bachelors who

mouth who will tremble at the ap-

COWS AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Results Of To-Day Test Among the
Competing Herds.

Competing Herds.
In a recent Today test of the cows
competing at the Worlds Fair in St.
Louis, Is Holsteins produced an average
of ST. pounds Of milk daily, and this
milk yielded 1.97 pounds of butter.fat
daily. The pounds of solids not fat
produced daily was A. 48 pounds.
The Jersey cows gave an average Of
AS pounds of milk per day, and aver
aged 1.97 pounds of butter.fat. The
total pounds of solids produced per COW
per day was S.77. There were 25 cows
in this test.
Only Brown Swiss cows competed.
These produced an average of 51.7
pounds Of milk daily. This milk con-
tained 1.86 pounds of butter-fat and
4.41 pounds Of solids other than butter
fat.
In the Shorthorn herd competing
there were 30 cows. These produced
an average of S6.8 pounds of milk, and
this milk contained 1.23 pounds of
butter-fat and 3.06 pounds Of solids
other than butter-fat.
All of these records are good, but
when the production per 1000 pounds of
COW weight is figured out and the re-
lative cost Of production the specific
dairy breeds will doubtless be seen to be
far ahead Of the others. The Shorthorn
cows especially seem to have suffered
by the test.

Weakest Point in Hosting Rope.

1t has always been assumed that the
weakest point in hoisting rope is at
the socket which joins it to the cage.
and to compensate for this it is CON-
mon practice to periodically cut off a
number of feet from this end OF the
rope and resocket it. Recent expert
ments in Germany seem to disprove
this and to show that the weakest
point is the point that is just in front
of or on the drum when the cage is al
the bottom.

THE HOTEL BREAKFAST.
How the American Meal Appears 20
an English man.

The American hotel breakfast Is
representative Of the general delight In
good living. The length of the menu
and the variety of the dishes bespeak
an appetite that In the early morning
can relish a meal little less substantial
than dinner.
The hotel breakfast begins with fruit

seems designated by nature to awaken

Cooked oysters In every style are Of.

be made from long list-of kinds un.

are imported. You see them very sci

When boiled eggs are eaten they are
opened by the waiter into glass, no
small quantity OF butter being added

American, who never eats cold meats
at breakfast, usually orders potatoes,
and the meal may be brought to a close
with pancakes. These hot cakes, which
are made of wheat, buckwheat, rice or
cornmeal, are eaten smothered in ma
pie sirup, a delicious treacle obtained
from the sap of maple trees.

breakfast--such a coffee as you may
find In Paris, but not In London-and
