The Price of Graves Cut.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. -
The park commission will meet the
competition OF outside cemeteries. A
cut In the prices Of certain graves
has been decided upon. Seven hun
dred choice graves In Greenwood
cemetery will be placed on sale at
$40 each, which Is lower by $5 than
the price commonly charged in the
city cemeteries.
The commissioners believe that the
"bargsin price" will shut off the ten
dency to pstronize the small GENE
teries of Kent county. The price Of
$40 not only pays for the grave but
it provides perpetual care.

Democracy in Missouri.

on results OF Tuesdays election, W.
]. Bryan gets considerable satisiac-

Democratic standpoint. He regrets
the defeat of W. R. Hearst in New

dent Roosevelt can find any comfort
In the vote OF the Empire State.
Mr.. Bryan says the Presidents
personal attack on MIR. Hearst was
In very bad taste, and he insists that
the attack did not iavorably impress
the public.
Particularly gratifying to the
Der ocratic heart, says Mr.. Bryan,
is the return OF Missouri TO the fold.

GREAT WESTERN PRESIDENT
WILL FIGHT ARMOURS

CHICAGO. Aug. "a b. Stlclney.
president Of the Great Western, has
scented danger for his interests at South
St Paul by the decision Of the Armour
company TO establish a $1,000. 900 pack
ing plant at New Brighton, Mimi. a
suburb Of Minneapolis. and has de-
clared war upon the project in an
open letter protesting against the Min
resota Transfer Company's making "a
low rate contract for the switching
service. In his letter Mr.. SuclInev in
Inmates that he fears the switching
company might furnish the switching
service free 10 the Armour concern, and
then cites the new interstate commerce
law aud the penalties il provides for
such action. A director OF the transfer
company declared that nothing irregu-
lar is CONTEMPLATED, but a formal le-
ply TO Mr.. Stickney's letter has not
vet been formulated.
Railroad men believe that Mr.. Stick
ney's chief interest lies I'm the fact that
his line practically controls the busi-
ness at the South ST. Paul yards, which
now handle all the cattle business Of
the Twin cities, and that the establish
ment OF a plant at New Brighton means
dividing of this business.
