On Election of Trustees in Methodist
 Churches. ,3
 Notices have just been sent out from the offices of Attorney Andrew Y. Bier kan to the various Methodist Episcopal churches in the city, notifying them of a change made by the last legislature in the law relating to the annual elec- ton of trustees. The law for many years has provided for an annual meet ing with election of trustees in every Methodist Episcopal church in the state, to be held on the first Monday in September, annually. Since the es- tablishment of Labor day in 1S99,. the absence of persons from home on &C., count of the holiday has interfered to some extent with full attendance at the annual meeting and it was thought a change of date would be desirable. The amendment, therefore, transfers the an- nual meeting to the second Monday in September This change will affect the elections to be held this year, as the act went into effect on August 15.

ENTIRELY TOO RIGID
The Big FOur'S Protest Against the
 Beef Trust Investigation.

Chicago May 1.-The representa- tives of the four large packing houses have gone to Washington with the in tention of making a protest on Monday to President Roosevelt against the manner in which they declare the in vestigation into the beef industry is being conducted before the federal grand jury.
 The protest. it is said will be made along the following lines: That the packing houses witnesses have been practically brow beaten before the jury and compelled to tell what they know; that questionable detective methods have been used by the secret service men to secure information for the gov ernment; that the wives of packers have been called before the grand jury to testify against their husbands who are out of the city and that they have been forced to remain constantly in Chicago for no apparent reason; that the private mall of the packers has fallen into the hands of the govern ment when the mail had nothing to do with the beef investigation; that the general treatment of the packers in Chicago by the local federal author ities has been like that accorded by the police toward a common criminal.
 It is said that the packers have all ready arranged for the meeting with the president.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, May 14.-Very light cattle receipts last week helped the market ir different ways; 15 to 20 cents was added to prices on nearly all kinds of cattle, and packers got rid of a part of the stuff in their cool ers leaving the situation considerably better than at the close of the previous week. Tie supply is larger than a week ago. but the market is able 10 stand a little more this week, and is about steady on desirable kinds, others weak to 10 cents lower, stockers and feeders steady. Country grades of cat tie have held up better lately than feeding cattle, as it looks like a better proposition this year than last, and the demand from the country is very good. Prices of stockers and feeders are 70 to 60 cents higher than at this time
 last year, whereas fat cattle are 75

The Big Fighter Will Devote Himself HencefOrth to Operations in Ari- zOna Mines.

Chicago, May 14.-James J. Jeffries, the champion heavy weight pugilist of the world has retired.
 Disease accomplished what no human being was ever able to do.

Jeffries is going to Los Angeles, where he in tends to build a home In the future it is his intention to devote his time to several valuable mining claims he and one of his brothers possess in Arizona.
 Before leaving for the Pacific coast tonight, Jeffries said: Thank God, I am through with boxing. I have suf- fered more pain during the last few days than in all my fights put together. I am not physically down and out, simply full of malaria and rheumatism, ailments that are foreign to a man of my strength and physique but have decided to retire from the prize ring. have two reasons for taking this course. My physical condition is one, and the other is because there seems to be no one in sight to make me cap able of giving the public run for It's money"
 Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager, and who practically brought Jim Corbett to the front. will retire from the pugilis- tic field along with the champion.

\ PRESIDENTS CABIN
Will Be One of the Attractions at the
 Portland Exposition.

Portland. May 1.-The log cabin in which President Roosevelt lived for three years while he was a rancher has been placed in the Agriculture build ing at the Lewis and Clark exposition as a part of the state of North Dakota's exhibit. The cabin was taken apart and the pieces numbered, so that it could be put together again exactly as it was when the president lived in iJ as cowboy. It stands near the south wall of the Agriculture building.
 II vas in 1889 that MT. Roosevelt went to North Dakota and purchased the Maltese Cross ranch, a place on the Little Missouri river eight miles south Of the town of Medora. On talk ing possession MT Roosevelt changed the name to Chimney Butte. on account of a chimney shaped butte short dis tance away. The rough cabin which he bought with the ranch was the future presidents only home for nearly three years. and in it he lived the life of the cowboy.
 In the cabin there will be exhibited also a number of interesting memen- tos of the presidents life at that period. An old straw hat, which President Roosevelt wore when he went to the ranch, but which was discarded shortly afterward as unsuitable to the kind of life he must lead. was found in old sack in a corner of the cabin and will be shown to visitors at the western worlds fair.

 F. A. Grover. fireman of Topeka, thrown from the cab and back and shoulders injured.
 This is the fourth attempt in the last four months to wreck passenger trains in the same place. Previous attempts were made by piIing ties on the track and without serious results. The wreck today was caused by the re- moving of the spikes and fish plates Of two rails on the inside of a curve. The engine on No. IT passed over the loose rails safely, but the mail car left the track and was dragged a hundred yards along the embankment before the train was stopped. The next five cars, two express and baggage cars, a smoker and two day coaches, went into the ditch across the right of way fence and lodged in a zigzag line. The end of
 the baggage car went up in the air
 high enough to ground the telegraph
 wires. Two Pullman sleepers remained
 on the track The passengers were
 asleep when the wreck occurred. and became greatly excited but soon formed a wrecking crew and went to the re- lief of the men in the overturned bag
 gage car.
 A window was broken and of the seven men in the car, six were injured Suetchers were made from car doors
 and the injured were carried co near by field where a hospital was impro- Vised.
 An hour after the wreck a relief train arrived from Emporia and the injured were taken to Em0Oria. A hundred workmen were put to work on the track and it was cleared for use again this afternoon.
 1 Three men were seen last night neal the Howard Branch section house. This morning a track wrench and a claw | bar were missing and they were found ] in a pool of water near the wreck to- 1 day.

 Having heard the tale of two men being found murdered at a point west of there with a large amount of gold in their possession MT. Wickenburg sought for the source of it and in a journey toward the Harqua Halas with two companions named Van Bib Der and Greene in October 1863 discov- cred by accident the croppings of the Vulture mine. His companions had little faith in its value and left soon after for Tucson ostensibly after more supplies but they never returned. In May 1864 he began working the mine with an arrastra- The subsequent story of the mine would make a book of itself and will not be referred to here other than to say it has produced somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty million dollars under the var ious arrangements and mismanage- ments that have been in charge since and was the source of most of the loose money in circulation in Phoenix in the seventies and eighties. MT Wickenburg built a small mill at Wickenburg and it was succeeded by larger ones. He finally sold his inter- est in the mine for a good figure though less than he should have re- ceived for it is related that he was vic timized out of a good share of his in terest. However he secured enough to provide for him during the remainder of his days. his life being mainly spent in farming and his wants being few. He was probably worth at one time $50,000 though it is believed that most of his fortune has been eaten up by un- successful ventures of later days and the expenses of advanced age after his .'active career was finished. So far as known he never wanted for anything needful nor would he in this land that is largely of his own making. but his estate now practically embraces only
