FOOD PRICES SOAR.
Earnings More Than Last Year, but Living Higher.
FLOUR AND LARD CREATESTINCREAS
Of the Thirty Articles Shown In Com pilation of the Bureau of Labor Fifteen Advance and Eff
 teen Decline.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Accord- ing to the latest official report of the United States bureau of labor. the cost Of food in the last year has increased >at faster rate than wages, so that, while wage earners are getting more pay for less work, they are in worse condition than last year, for they are paying out more than the increase in then pay.
 These reports of the bureau of labor have been regarded as reliable since the introduction of the methods of Colonel Carroll D. Wright. They have not been subject to attack except in the last presidential campaign. The statistics have been removed from the arena of political discussion because they are regarded as being based on scientific lines.
 It Is shown that the articles which marked the greatest dlffAnnce, in price between 1903 and 1904 are flour and lard The average price of flour in 1904 was 118.44 per cent of the aver age price in 1903. or an advance of .1S.44 per cent. The average price of lard in 1904 was 9261 per cent of the average of 1903, or a decline of 7.39 per cent.
 Of the thirty articles included in the compilation made by the bureau of la- bor fifteen show an advance and fif- teen decline, but the fifteen articles that show a decline do not offset the fifteen that show an advance, because those that have advanced in price en- ter more largely into consumption.
 The bureau of labor has made a compilation of the relative prices in the United States of certain groups of related articles of food between 1890 and 1904 and comments:
 Under cattle products are shown the three articles, beef, fresh roasts and stews: beef. fresh steaks and beef, salt. The price of each of these arti- cles was higher in 1891 than in 1890. that of the two descriptions of fresh beef was lower and that of salt beef was higher in 1892 than in 1891. Prices of roasts and stews were lower and of steaks and salt beef higher in 1893 than in 1892. All three of the articles show lower prices in 1894 than in 1893. In each year from 1895 to 1902 inclusive the price of each of the three articles increased. All were lower in 1903 than in 1902. Prices of roasts and stews and salt beef were lower and steaks higher in 1904 than in 1903.
 Tn the north Atlantic states the ay- craze food cost per family Cassuming that food was purchased in the same quantity each year and that the eX- penditure for each of the various arti- cles bore the same relation to the to- tai expenditure for food in each of the years) was s33O.35 in 1890 s33326 in 1891. etc. The lowest cost was S312e1 in 1897 and the highest was $360.T0 In 1904. difference of S47.79.

Huge Telephone Merger Planned


 PITTSBURG, Sept. 14.-Much inter est has been aroused here over the visit to Pittsburg of group of west ern financial men said to be concerned in the organization of general inde pendent telephone system covering all the territory now reached by the nu- merous independent companies by forming unification of interests which will permit of quick interchange of business on some basis that practically means a merging of the various lines. A Cleveland dispatch says that Fred erick s. Dickson. president of the Fed eral Telephone company. which con trols the most extensive independent telephone system in the country, said that the merging of interests would be followed by rapid development of the service throughout the east and central west

 The following afternoon he stepped up to the office and asked the landlord for large-sized envelope. On receiv- ing it, he took from his pocket large roll ofAbills and, after couptingA them in the presence of the proprietor, writ ling his name on the envelope, and put ting down the amount as $1,00o, he said:

 A valise, similar to the one left at Muskegon, had also been left at the Grand Haven hotel.
 Putting two and two together, il was platn-that both landlordsa had been duped by this smooth grafter and thereupon the envelopes were opened. Each was found to contain a lot of brown paper, cut in the exact size of dollar bills.
 On comparing notes. the hotel me- found that his methods were the same in each case. In both instances he had previously, without the knowledge of the proprietors, secured large en- vslope from the hotel stock, on which
