BEEF TRUST BUYS RIVAL.
Pays $5,o00,oo0 for Concern and Buys
Heavily in Stock.

New York, N. Y.-The beef trust
has secured a controlling interest in
the New York Butchers Dressed Meat
Co., capitalized at $40, 900, 900, and
will take it oyer on Oct. /. The ac-
QUESTION of the concern by the trust
is more notable because it was
brought into existence by wealthy re-
tail dealers to prevent the trust from
dominating their business when the
United Dressed Beef Co. sold out to
the trust. Some of the minority stock
holders do not approve the sale, but
were helpless. The purchase price is
said to have been about $4,000, 900.
1t is understood the trust has also
secured 40 per cent of the stock of the
SchwarZschild & S%ulzberger Co. Ac-
cording to Ferdinand ~Sulzberger, the
trust bought this stock secretly. He
added tina THE trust can not offer
enough money to get a controlling in

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri.
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
SO pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially. as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
the Regular or Allopathic school, of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to ecure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is SO firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
Rent, however. particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
hixtory of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their afiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and its total assets are $751;
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time Of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 a year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful

The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to
say, but simply kissed him. Made still

coxEY's ARMY IN PALACE CARS
General Says His New Soldiers viii
Travel in Style.

Pittsburg, Penn.-General Coxey,
of Coxey's army fame, is to raise a
new army. Unlike his first battalions,
the soldiers he will now recruit will
not march r country to the CAPT.
tai, but will ride in Pullman cars and
enjoy the best the land affords. The
general does not make plain just
where he is to get the munitions for
this warfare, but says they will be
forthcoming.
The object of the new crusade will
be the conversion of the people to the
doctrines of municipal and state own
ership of public utilities, and in argu-
ments for this campaign the recruits
will be schooled. A call will be sem
out at once for enlistments, which will
not be confined to the hobo class. Con-
tributions to the treasury will also be
solicited.

neys to hamper the efforts of their op

Missouri and Illinois Officers in War

Hannibal, Mo.-Although Governor
Folk honored a requisition from
Gov. Deneen of Illinois for Arthur
Booker, who is wanted in Quincy on
the charge of burglary and grand lar

Missouri officers. Sheriff Thomas of
Quincy came to Hannibal last evening

soon as he was turned over to him
Booker was taken in charge by the
Sheriff Of Marion county on habeas

Judge Dent had dismissed the case
against Booker, in which he was
charged with being a fugitive from
justice. Thus the matter has become
very complicated.
1t is claimed that Gov. Folk did not
