BEEF Trust TRIAL BEGINS OCT. 2.
Day Set and SubpRnas Issued Secretly
Many witnesses to Testify.


CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Oct. , has been set
as the first trial day for tho twenty-four
packers and lawyers and i've corporations
indicted on charges Of combining in re-
straint OF trade, accepting rebates and
interfering with Government witnesses.
Hundreds Of witnesses will appear at
the new Federal Building to testify for
the Government. The United States Dis
trict Attorney, C. B. Morrison, had twenty
subpenas issued and secretly served last
night. The papers are returnable Oct. 2
In the United States District Court. Issu-
ance Of these papers came as surprise
to most OF the packers. as they had been
entirely ignorant OF the movement Of the
Government officials.
1t Is remarked that the sudden action
by District Attorney Morrisons subor-
dinates follows the words Of President
Roosevelt yesterday afternoon In his adj
dress at Chautauqua>c oncerning the prose-
cution OF the packers.
Mr.. Morrison was not at his Office to-day,
having gone to his home In Dixon, Ill.,, for
Sunday. His assistant, Attorney Elwood
Goldman, denied any knowledge Of the
setting Of trial day or the issuance Of
subpenas, as did Special Agent Edward
st. Clair and Capt. Thomas I. Porter Of the
Secret Service. In tho Marshal's office,
also, it was said nothing was known.
Secrecy Is insisted on because 1t is feared
some Of the important witnesses may leave
the country.

GleaninQs and Comment.

CERTAINLY no expenditure the county
commissioners could make just now
would be so much in the interest of all
the people of the county as an appro-
priation for the telephone, either in the
form of donation or by the purchase
of stock, preferably by donation as the
arrire number of shares would then be
taxable and the county's expenditure
would be returned in taxes sooner. AS
soon as all the people, or considerably
more than majority, see more clearly
the advantages derived from it, lines
will be built to all parts Of the county.
1t will do more to bring in settlers and
build up the county than any other
modern convenience. Settlers will go
farther from railroad than we are if
they have wire connection with one an
other and the outside world. But not
many settlers are willing to bear their
cross to lonely country and leave all
behind.
