Prices will Go Up.

A Chicago telegram Of May 20
says that meat prices in Chicago
may jump skyward this wee kunless
the beef trust recedes from its re-
Gently announced intention to delay
payment on certain of its recent live
stock purchases until they have pass
ed the government post mortem ex-
animation.
The packers have notified the COM
| missioners that they would no long
er stand the loss on condemned cat
tie, and in order to protect them
selves they had found it necessary
to refuse payment on "cow stuff''
until it has passed the government
inspectors
During the latter part of last
week thousands of letters and tele-
grams were sent out by the commits
sion men to their customers notify
ing thm of the action that had been
taken by the packers and advising
them to withhold all shipments of
cattle to the big markets controlled
by the trust until the difficulty is
adjusted. This is expected to cut
the meat supply tremendously be-
fore the week is over, and prices are
expected to go up correspondingly.
Commission men declare it is the
intention Of the packers to enforce
the rule with regard to Cow stuff"
now in the hope that similar action
may be taken later with reference
to their purchase of sheep and hogs.

Death of Theodore Tilton.

Theodre Tilton died last Saturday
in Paris. He was taken ill on We--
nesday, apparently with violent
cold, but in a few hours his malady
developed into double pneumonia.
The immediate attention of physi-
clans proved futile to arrest the dis
case, and practically for two days
Mr.. Tilton had been unconscious.
He was carefully attended to his
last hours by Miss Kate Fuller, a
daughter of an attorney who former
ly was we'll known in New York, but
who died some time ago. Mr.. Full
Ter had for many years been a close
friend of Mr.. Tilton.
To his intimate friends Mr. Tilton
seldom or never spoke of his wife or
Mr.. Beecher. One of his friends
with whom he happened to be on the
day he learned of Mr.. Beecher's
death, said Mr.. Tilton, after he had
heard the news, did not utter word
for five minutes, and when he did
speak it was of other things.
Throughout Mr.. Tilton's residence
in Paris, although he was sometimes
solicited by those who knew his ora
torical powers, to speak at banquets
he always declined to do so, and he
never appeared in public except at
the annual New Years reception at
the American embassy.

Indictments for Men Higher up

The grand jury at San Francisco
returned indictments reaching men
higher up" in connection with the
Park Side Realty company's trolley
franchise and the S5-cent rate Or
dered by the local gas trust.
The list includes three of the most
prominent real estate men in San
Francisco, and two multi-million
aires.
President John Martin, Director
Eugene De Saba and Director Frank
G. Drum of the San Francisco Gas
and Electric company were indicted
on fourteen counts jointly with Abra-
ham Ruef and Mayor Schmitz. These
indictments were based on the con-
fessions of the supervisors who told
the grand jury that they received
$3.50 from the gas trust for voting
for an S5-cent rate and the evidence
given the inquisitorial board by Abra-
ham Ruef himself. At the time the
gas rate was voted a fight was being
made for a 75-cent rate, but this
NCto DcdICu
John Martin and Eugene De Saba
are both multi-millionaires and very
prominent citizens of the state.
In the Park Side Realty Trolly
franchise matter fourteen joint in
dictments were returned naming G.
II. Umbson, j. e. Green and w. |.
Brobeck, we'll known real estate men
and Abraham Ruef. The Park Side
Realty company in opening a new
residence portion of the western sec
tion of the city agreed, according to
the testimony of Ruef, to pay $4,000
for the granting by the supervisors
of trolly franchise on Nineteenth
avenue, running through their plot
of land. Arrangements had been
made to pay this amount, but Ruef
told the grand jury that graft inves-
tigation came on before the money
was paid over and the matter was
dropped. All these indictments were
filed before Judge Coffee.

100000 May Lose Jobs.

1t is estimated that between 50,-
900 and 100000 men will be thrown
out of employment by the railroads
of the country before the first week
in June. Orders were issued some
time ago by the various railroad
managements that June / the forces
in all departments must be reduced
to minimum
1t is customary for the railroads
to reduce their pay rolls at the be-
ginning of the summer, when traffic
is the lightest, and to increase them
again as the winter months arrive.
This year the roads have issued
especially stringent economy orders
and it is stated the working forces
will be reduced to the lowest possible
point 1t is expected that during the
summer the railroads will save sew
eral million dollars in salaries and
wages.
The order on the New York Cen
'Nal and the Pennsylvania is particu-
l2rly stringent. On the former road
Il is stated that the pay rolls are to
- reduced fully one-third. If the Or
Ger applies to departments and is car
led out strictly it would mean the
discharge of over $4,000 employees,
on this system alone. The heaviest
reduction will be in the operating de-
partment, however, and in the shops
of the company.
Thousands of clerks are also to be
laid off, for it is stated that the phe-
nominal business which was done
during the fall and winter and also
during the early spring is falling off
rapidly. Never before have the rail-
roads had such large clerical forces
in the traffic departments and so
many men per mile of road in the
operating and maintenance and the
motive power departments. Accord
ingly the present summer will see
the largest number of discharged rail
way employees in the history of steam
transportation companies. In addi-
tion to the employees in the regular
service many thousands of laborers
are being discharged by the railroads
which have abandoned new work and
new extensions owing to the difficulty
of raising money.
Instead of crippling tn eoperation
of the railroads, it is stated, the
wholesale discharge of men will
insure better service. Owing to the
unprecedented traffic of the last few
months thousands of incompetent
men were employed because no other
were obtainable, and it is not i'm
probable that some of the recent
wrecks have been caused by this
fact.
Furthermore, railway manage
ments were unable to properly dis
cipline careless employees because of
the necessity of having every avail
able man at work.

A Long Chase.

Deputy Sheriff Harper returned
Monday from Deadwood having in
charge Dick Rose, who is wanted in
this county on the charge of horse
stealing, and it is claimed he did not
confine his operations alone to
horses, but would take most any old
thing he could find.
Rose gave his captors quite a
lengthy chase. Tuesday morning of
last week. Ed Todenhoft informed
the county officers that three head of
horses had been stolen from his sheep
camp, on Owl creek and described
the fellow whom he thought took
them. Deputy Sheriff Harper start
ed out mat morning in search of the
supposed thief following him as
far as the mouth of Owl creek where
the trail was lost. He returned to
town the next day and put in a
few hours telephoning to the various
sheriffs in the Hills, and Friday eve
ming he had phone message from
Spearfish that a fellow answering
the description of the thief had been
seen on the Deadwood road with a
string of horses. Mr.. Harper went
to Deadwood and there was Joined
by Il party Of deputies. Friday night
and Saturday all day and that night
was spent in riding the gulches, and
sunday the search was continued and
the fellow was discovered in a de-
serted cabin belonging to the old
Big Led Mining company. The
searchers, numbering six surrounded
the house and the fellow was asked
TO come out and give up. This he
refused to do, and as he was armed
the deputies did not care to take
any chances with him, so after a
conference it was decided to set fire
to the house. AS soon as this was
attempted the fugitive signified a
Willingness to surrender and passed
his firearms through the window to
the officers.
He had seven horses near the
mouse, but upon examination it was
found that six of them belonged to
William Matthews who lives few
miles below Belle Fourche and the
other one was an old SB horse that
has been running on Owl Creek for
the past three years. A saddle be-
longing to Clyde Gliding was also
lound in with the horses. The pris-
oner was taken to Deadwood and
from there brought to Belle Fourche
Monday afternoon. He made a con-
fession but claimed he knew moth
ing of the Todenhoft horses. Later.
however, he told the officers where
they could find fourteen more stolen
horses, and it is thought that the
Iodenhoft bunch will be found.
Rose was taken to Sturgis Tues
day evening where he appears as a
witness against the Richors who are
to be tried there on the charge of
morse stealing. 1t is believed that
Rose is an old timer in the business
and that he knows something about
number of the horses that have
been taken from the range in this
part OF the country, although he
may not have taken them himself. he
Will be given an opportunity to tell
the officers what he knows about
the matter
