Chicago Aug. 3.-The meat packers
whose union employees are on strike
claim TO be IN better position than at
any time since the struggle began.
When asked for the packers side Of
the situation. Arthur Meeker general
manager for Armour & Co.. said:
"The strike may be said TO be near an
end At the rate we are securing new
employees it Will be only matter OF a
short time now until everything viii
be IN normal condition with us once
more. When the butcher workmen re-
pudiated their agreement and renewed
the strike after signing an agreement
to submit all grievances 10 arbitration,
we made n special effort to win the
fight, and we have been great deal
more successful in our efforts than the
most sanguine OF the employers had
hoped for. The old employees places
have been filled so promptly that very
few Of the strikers win ever be able to
get back their old places. and those
who do come back win come back as
individuals"
Another OWclal OF Armour a 20.

ing nearly 80 per cent Of their usual

Of new employees arriving at the yards

the stockyards are filled with cattle
and hogs that buyers make no bid FOR

Trustees Of the Commons.

Inc trustees OF the foIlIlonrs JOnIl
c.. Mahoney in the chair. met IN regu-
lar session last night and transacted
routine business.
Mr.. Mahoney called attention TO the
fact that the buildings at Hare's Cor
ner needed painting and also that the
sidewalk needed repairing and the curb
resetting. The cost OF the paving he
believed would be about eighty-five
cents per foot. although he thought that
the sidewalk was wider than neces-
sary and that by taking three feet off
of it the cost would be reduced. Re-
ferred.
II was decided that the trustees, as a
body. should inspect the farms under
their care and note any repairs neces-
sary.
A communication was received from
e. r. Sutton calling the attention OF
the trustees to the condition of the
fence dividing his farm from that oper-
ated by John Knots and belonging to
the trustees. Mr.. sutton stated that
Mr. Knots cattle had gotten into his
field and destroyed one and half
acres of corn, for which he desired
payment. The matter will be looked
into to ascertain the amount Of dam
age done.
John Knots and Thomas Barry were
credited with $50 and s75 respectively
on account of rent of farms
The bill of s163.SO due the water
company was allowed. and bills
amounting to 1882 were ordered paid.
May Erect standpipe.
A committee of citizens have waited
upon s. S. Deemer, president OF the
Brylgdon Steel Casting Company rela-
tive 10 the water supply on the site Of
the works. II is said that a standpipe
erected on the level Of the ground will
force stream OF water by it's own
gravity sixty feet over the opera
House building. and that the upper
trap doors in the Episcopal Church
steeple are but thirty-six feet above
the level OF the ground upon which the
Brygldon plant is erected.
In view OF this fact it is not improb-
able that steps may be taken toward
supplying the city with water for fire
and other purposes by driving wells in
that locality.

FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
WITH OUR CITY

For the past five years We have been
acquainted and brought somewhat in
contact with III. S. Hughes, OF Mil
waukee, who for ten years has been
employed by the Wisconsin Central
Railway Company in the Land
Department and acting as Industrial
Commissioner. He stated that not
long ago he had an appointment with
a man from Ohio who is engaged in
manufacturing toys and children's
express wagons to meet him here at
Grand Rapids and look over the city
with view of locating his shop here.
Mr.. kHugheS stated that it was
manufacturing plant employing about
one hundred men and the parties
wished to locate closer to liberal
supply OF timber. The waste from the
Grand Rapids Lumber Company's
saw mill that is now being sold as fuel
had evidently attracted his attentions
Mr.. Hughes spoke OF Grand Rapids
as one Of the most promising towns in
the north.

Waupaca county republicans have
nominated their county ticket, with
no allusion to factional differences
and without resolutions concerning
state affairs. In Waukesha county,
the county officers are divided and it
is proposed to make the nominations
independent Of factions and place the
county ticket under that held regular
by the supreme court. One of the
staunchest La Toilette men in the
county says that he will not stand for
any factional fight on local matters,
and he lives in the center of half
breed sentiment. How many counties
will follow the example of these twos
Can like amity be secured in legisla-
tive conventions? Do the people care

LEGISLATIVE
For Congr essman 10th District
Webster E. Brown.

Wisconsin is now placed openly in
the doubtful states by some of the
political fgurers. Yet Wisconsin
gave colossal Republican majorities
the past four years, over one hundred
thousand on two occasions. Is this
thing right? Is it so this grand old
Republican state can be in anywise
regarded as doubtful and for what
reason? There are just as many
Republicans as four years ago or eight
years ago, and il it is true there is
danger of losing the state somebody
must be responsible for stubborness
and perverseness in resOrting to any
scheme by which Republican elector
may be placed in doubt. Racine

houses themselves. Many of their
wives buy the bulk of their dry goods
In Chicago. Is it necessary? Do they
look any better for it? They are
certainly not saving money by it if
the merchandise is seasOnable, for on
new dry goods the city houses make
the large profits, that make it possible
to keep.up such immense establish
ments. The fiddler has to be paid.
II man makes his meaey outside
OF the city he lives in, for instance, a
manufactures or tobacconist, is he
perfectly independet about where he
buys his goods? Are not his children
going to school here? It would seem
to man in the tall branches that he
owes much to the city of his adoption
or birth. What sort of city would
we have If the majority of our citi-
zens traded in other places?
Home Merchants Respond Generously.
The home merchants are the ones
who are called upon to give to every
thing that comes along, and with few
exceptions they do it willingly.
Every resident of Grand Rapids, no
matter what his or her walk is, should
have primarily the city's interest at
heart.
Let ones first thought be to pro-
mote Grand Rapids interests, let US
all pull together, cut out the river, do
the bulk of our purchasing at home,
invest in Grand Rapids real estate,
have a local pride and things will go
along much smoother.
