TURN OF BEEF TRUST.
Topeka Meat Consumers Feel It's
Heavy Hand.

The beef trust is sending up the
price of meat at a rapid rate and To-
peka people will either have to be-
come vegetraians or go deeper into
their DocketbOoks.
Yesterday beef took a jump upward
of a cent a pound, which followed the
advance of one cent a pound of two
weeks go and now the local butchers
are paying the packing houses eight
cents a pound for steer beef while
three weeks ago they paid six cents
a pound. on April the market price
of steers was 3 4 to 4 u cents. Now
the price of steers, to the packers, is
4 to cents.
The advance in the price of steer
beef, made by the packing houses, is
uniform A Topeka dealer. when he
was quoted the 8 cent price by one
packing company, telephoned the
agents of all the other packing COM
panies represented in Topeka. and he
found that the advance in price was
general.
The price of beef is advanced by the
packing houses in the spring when
the outside killing" as they term it.
is ended on account of the warm
weather A good deal of beef is sue
cessfuIly slaughtered by small butch
ers during the cold winter months
and the packing houses have to lower
their prices to meet the competition.
When the warmer weather comes,
however, the small concerns cannot
compete with the refrigerator car
lines and the outside killing comes
to a stop for the summer.
The advance in the price of steer
beef to the retail dealers is much
greater this spring than usual. The
price generally advances a quarter of
a cent at a jump but this spring the
price went uD a cent at a time. Many
of the packers and dealers predict
that the price OF steer beef will not
stop climbing until it reaches ten
cents a pound.
The price of pork Ioin has advanced
from 8 to 10 cents a pound. The
price of pork chops, retail, is now is
cents instead of 13 cents as was the
price until the advance was made by
the packers Porterhouse steak that
cost 20 cents before the advance is
now % cents pound.

ALIGHT SNOWFALL.

midnight a light snow fell In Topeka.
and many parts of Kansas. The fall
here amounted to two hundredths of
an inch. The minimum temperature
last night was 8 2 degrees.
While snow storms are not a regu-
lar thing in April they are not un-

April s and 9. 1904. two inches and
One-tenth of snow fell and the mer-

respectively, on those two days. The
latest fall of snow that has ever been

of snow fell and was accompanied by
sleet and rain. The minimum tenn
perature on that day was %.
Director Jennings said this morn
ing: THE snow and cold weather of
last night will not have any severe
effect on fruit. The temperature was
not low enough to do serious damage
as most of the fruit has been in bloom
and after the bloom the cold weather
does not matter so much Most of
the garden stuff planted now is of the
hardy sort. Tomatoes would suffer
but not many tomato plants have
been set out in an exposed manner
Today's corn and wheat region bull
letin says: ''The temperature was
below freezing this morning in the
western half of this state and in the
northeastern counties; it was also be-
