The BEEF TRUST has just raised the
wholesale price of meat in New York
city Sue-half cent pound and the
people of that city are up in arms
against the raise. Advance in the
wholesale price of prime beef took effect
Wednesday-the very day aud very first
hour of the blizzard This advance in
the wholesale price of beef is another
characteristic trick of the packers COM
bine 1t is simply an arbitrary charge,
made by the "big four" without any
reference to the supply or the demand.
A dispatch from New York says {:
Members Of the beef trust are the only
people who have sought to take advant-
age Of the cold snap to wiring extra tribute
from consumers. Fish are not higher.
Milk has not gone up, and butter, eggs,
cheese, provisions OF every kind-all
remain unchanged in price. There
is no famine in meat nor any prospect of
any.

Pending decision in the suit brought BY John
r. Plat to recover nearly 100000. which he
alleges the negress extorted fromhim,a receiver
wss appointed for the Elias woman's prop
erty. In getting il together, the receiver
found in necessary to bring suit against Dug
gan. This case was called today. Washing
ton Brauns, counsel for Hanna Elias, pre-
scented an affidavit from a physician, which
stated that the negress was suffering from
nervous prostration, and was unable TO give
certain affidavits which counsel wished. Mrs
should turn the money over to the receiver,
but before doing so, it would be necessary for
her to make number of affidavits. Justice
Leaventritt said he would grant the request,

Waddill, the Virginia Pilots Associa-
ton, as an organization, and Pilot
Franklin Guy, as an individual, are
held liable for damages Resulting from a
collision between the schooner George
Churchman and the steamship Santuit
in Hampton Roads. The courts de.
cision states that the collision and dam

In STATEMENT issued last week,
DIR. II. w. Wiley, chief Of the Bureau
of Chemistry, says that be has not denied
the report of previous interview to the
effect that 50 per cent, Of the whisky
seld in this country was adulterated and
that no delegation representing the
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association
has called on him, as reported. He re-
Pests his former assertion regarding the
sdulteratiou of whisky, and makes this
statement in order that he may not be
misunderstood. But people will keep
right on drinking whisky and apparently
a small minority seera to care whether
it is sdulterated or not.

RUSSIANS FORCED BACK.

Another of General Kuropatkin's re-
ported victories has been turned into a
japanese triumph. In view Of the latest
news from the seat Of war, it is now
plainly apparent that the report OF Rms
sian successes, including the capture Of
the town of Sandepas and turning
movement to cut of japanese commune
cation with Yinkow were given out by
the Russian War Office in the hope of
divsrting attention from the strikes and
revolutionary movement.
Lieutenant General Sskharoff now
reports that they we're unable to capture
Sandepas, being repealed by the Jap
snese redoubt of quick-frers.
General Mistchenko, commander of
the Cossacks, has been wounded in the
leg.
japanese official sdvices say the Rus
SLAMS hai been driven back across the
Hun river, the japanese pursuing them.
The japanese have also occupied Hell
kontai and surrounding positions and
taken 500 officers and men prisoners.
Marshal Oyams reports that the Rus
sian attacks on the japanese right and
center were Immediately repulsed and
that on the left the japanese occupied
LiDtiako and forced the Russians to re-
treat.
The japanese had to face blizzard,
but 1t appears that neither cold, wind,
snow or the Russian fire had any terrers
for them.
During the terrific bombardment along
the entire line Friday and Saturday
more guns were in action than in any
previous engagement, aud there was more
artillery on both sides than in any for
mer battle in history.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
st;tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out aud this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nething but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
