A SLUMP IN BUTTER
Brokers Unable to Put Additional Mar.
gins at Chicago.

Pittsburg, Nov. 7,.Speculators who
were carrying thousands of tons of
butter ON margin have been called
upon for additional margins by the
Chicago warehouses. But the obliga.
tions were not met, and the stocks in
storage were dumped on the market,
which resulted in fall of three cents
pound. or cut of ten per cent.
The Elgin Board of Trade has held
Elgin creamery at 80 and 30 12 cents
pound. Immediately following the
action of the sale of the holdings by
the warehouses the Elgin Board of
Trade announced a cut in the price
to q and u IL cents pound. Butter
brokers have been heavy buyers, ex-
pecting a rise in the price on the
approach of cold weather, but the
recent financial slump caught them
short of funds to put up additional
margins.

Sing Sing Death House Acquitted.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Rafaele Cas-
cone, an Italian in whom Harry Thaw
has taken kindly interest during
their association in the Tombs prison
was found not guilty in his second
trial for the killing Of one of two ltal-
ians in June, 1903.
Cascone was convicted on his first
trial and spent thirty-two months In
the death house at Sing Sing before he
obtained a second trial. AS there Is
another indictment against him for
killing the second Italian, he was re-
manded to the Tombs.
Harry Thaw while awaiting his sec
ond trial for the killing of Stanford
White met Cascone during the exercise
hours in the Tombs prison and devel-
oped marked friendship for the Ital-
ian, who told him much Of his life In
the death house in Sing Sing. Thaw
and Cascone always took their daily
walks in the Tombs corridors together.
and the keepers declared that Thaw
insisted that the Italian always be his

The off year elections of last Tues
day cannot be considered much of a
barometer on national politics but
they certainly offer little encourage
ment to the Democrats. The country
as a whole is mighty well satisfied
with the Roosevelt administration or
something of slump would have evil

the financial district of New York
who live in northern New Jersey cut
down the Republican majority in New
Jersey to some extent but not enough
to change the result but in the coun-
try as a whole the dominant party has
maintained itself as it never did be
fore for so long time. The increas'
ed Republican plurality in Massachu-
sets was due to the rainbow chasing
of the independence league and to the
fact that Whitney, the Democratic
candidate was not acceptable TO a
large part of his party and could not
get the independent vote. 1t does not
mean that Massachusetts does not IA

electing Tom Johnson has shown its
appreciation of the earnest efforts of
an honest man in spite of some mis-
takes to give the city clean progress

Republican victory is an indication
of the popularity of President Roose-

Health officer Stillson has complet-
ed his visits to the local markets and
slaughter houses and has left with
each proprietor the official regulations
of the state board of health which
were recently printed in the Banner
Mr.. Stillson found all the markets in
clean, wholesome condition and the
meat in their stock apparently first
class. Several of the dealers stated
that occasionally somebody brings in
the carcass of beef or hog that bears
evidence of having been unhealthy be.
fore it was killed and they have re-
fused to take the meat. Some of this
meat is believed to have been peddled
out by farmers themselves when they
found they could not sell 1t at mar
ket. Mr.. Stilson believes that with
the present system of inspection and
keeping track of meat supplies sold
by the regular dealers that the pub
lie can feel confident that they are
getting first class goods free from
suspicion. He advises however that
when meat is purchased from other
than regular dealers, and is not there
fore subject to examination. it should
be scrutinized closely to make sure
that it is all right.

ROOSEVELT DELIeHTEl,
Result Of Elections quite Welcome
at White House.

~ 'NohF's
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--Presldens
Roosevelt issued the following state
ment regarding the elections held
Tuesday:
"The president regards the results or
the elections as extremely gratifying.
He has sent letter of hearty congrat-
ulations to Mr.. Heney on the result IN
San Francisco. The victory In New
Jersey was precisely what happened
nine years ago in the middle of Pres
ident McKinley's administration. He
had carried New Jersey by $4,000, ana
two years afterward the Republican
candidate for governor had $500, the
vote being cut down just as happened
in the case of Judge Fort. As com
pared with the elections next proceed
ing the last presidential election we
have done decidedly better than we
did in 1903. Then, as Tuesday, Rhode
Island and Maryland went against us,
but this year we have won Il sweeping
victory In Kentucky for the first time
since McKinley's first election, and the
victory in Massachusetts was also re-
markable. The showing in Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska Is equally good.
''The showing in New York state as
whole was eXcellent-far better than
was the case prior to the last presi-
dental election. That the result In
Manhattan was due to purely local
causes is shown by comparing it with
the decisive triumphs in Brooklyn, Buff
falo, Albany and In the state general
ly. The presidents own home county
OF Nassau made a better showing than
it ever has I'm an off year. As whole
the showing has been an Improvement

Ger the river of sticks,
No more will he call us,
AS the clock strikes six.
No more will he steal
Long gloves" from the lines
Or feed on the mellon patch,
All covered with vines.
His tricks are all over;
No more will he swipe
Poor Johnnie's tobacco,
When he's out of sight.
We watched him through sickness
And plainly we saw,
The whiskey we gave him,
Would stop his cav, cav.
So Pat did the honors
And laid him down low;
Let us all shed tear,
