BILLEK WILL HANG

CHICAGO, Nov 19.-Herman Billeck convicted of the murder of five members of the Vzral family, was sentenced by Judge Barnes today to hang December II. The fight of Billek and his friends for his liberty, which carried the case before the United States Supreme court, attracted wide attention.
 Billek, fortune teller, whose in- come was derived from the ignorant ana superstitious, used arsenic in causing the death of the Vzrals, all of whose lives were insured and which money Billck is said to have planned to secure. He was first sentenced to hang in Oc. tober, 1907, and since that time has been reprieved four times.

MbBEY FAYORS

 STATUTE.

TUCSON, November l9.---To the cot tie raisers of Arizona at the convention of the Arizona Cattle Growers asso- citation, Governor Kibbey in an ad- dress delivered in defense of his atti- tude toward the butchers license law, said that hc would still be for the same law even if it made possible meat trusts.
 Kibbey s extreme statement came after he had repeated sections of the political speeches he delivered during the recent campaign, in which he con tended that the present law does not prohibit the farmer killing his own beef and disposing of what he can not cat, to his neighbors.
 |. was after he had sought to show that the butcher la wdoes not create trusts, citing the fact tha in Tucson there are about fifteen butchers who slaughter their own meat, and adding that as far as he can learn Phoenix is the only city in Arizona in which there seems to be anything that bears the carmarks or a trust.
 After pledging the cattle raisers that they could depend on him to protect their interests, Governor Kibbey spoke st longth sinydefense off, the, butcher Ii, eense law and the Arizona rangers, contending that both the law and the rangers were the bulwarks of the cattle industry in Arizona.

ABUSING PURE FOOD LAWS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19--According to sweeping decision of the commis. sioner of patents, any label bearing the inscription guaranteed under pure food and drug acts of June 30, 1906" where sucb inscription is intended to imply that the government is responsi. ble for the purity of the goods, will be refused registration. It is claimed that hundreds of packers, and others through. ont the country, are so printing labels as to give this impression, whereas it is held by the officials that the govern, ment simply accepts the assertion of the manufacturer that tho goods are pure, then investigates his business.

NEW YORK, November l9.-Con- stant fluctuation in prices in the mar ket formed tho principal feature of dealings in stocks today. The fiuctua- tions were narrower than has been the rule lately, and the volume of dealings was also smaller. There were signs that the support of prices was not abandoned today, but less aggressive than the recent rule, though facilitated by the covering of shorts put out on the decline of yesterday. The day s news offered no explanation of the price movement. Another reaction in copper in the local metal exchange was an incident of the kind dwelt upon.

The economic axiom that prosperity is literally dug out of the earth is again illustrated by the experiences of tho past year. Tho agricultural and mineral industries have withstood the strain of the business depression bot ter than na yother forms of enterprise. Another good crop next year will give an impetus to business such as we have never known before, and the expan- sion will naturally continue until the floating supply of capital will have again been exhausted and the inevita- ble period of over-production shall have appeared. The operation of this law is too often lost sight of by those who control the policies of many of the great railroad an dindustrial enter prises of the country, and the tendency to excessive optimism during periods of prosperity is just as great as tho tendency 10 excessive caution during time of business prostration, such as has prevailed for tho past year.

Market News

There was a further decline in prices on the New York stock exchange yes terday, and contr rletion in the volume of dealings. For the past two days there has been an absence of news to affect the market one way or tho oth- CT and it has been permitted to drift within narrow limits. Under ordinary conditions, after tho long continued rise the market has had, reaction of from five to ten points would natural iy be expected, but the interests which have piloted tho upward movement ap- pear to be still in control and it were idlo to attempt to forecast the course of tho market for the next few weeks. Copper metal is having some reaction after tho very sharp advance it has had since the election, which was evi- dently overdone. Any further attempt to advance the price of the metal fur ther at this time would invite liquida. ton of the large speculative holdings in Europe, which might result in a severe setback.

There is nothing in the money situ- ation to indicate any immediate ad. vance in the demand money rate, not. withstanding tho actiy5ty in the stock market, says tho World Financial. The demand, however, for time money run ming from periods of nine months to year, has resuletd in slightly harder rates for this line of accommodation. There has never been time in recent years when the money situation throughout the world offered greater encouragement for speculative enter. prises, as well as to legitimate business development. The commission houses realize this and even the more con servative class are advising the pur- chase of securities. They are, however, directing the attention of their custom. CTS to the low.priced stocks, on tho theory that they have a more natural market and, with very few exceptions, ownership is not concentrated in them.

The maintenance of the steel rail schedule, both by the United States Steel corporation and the independents, is undoubtedly due to an understanding which it would seem amounts to an illegal compact, and therefore viola tion of the Sherman antitrust law. The administration, however, so far has shown no disposition to interfere with this combination in restraint of trade. It will probably be left to the tariff reformers to deal with this condition and to bring about a reasonable price for the steel rails manufactured in this country. Even the "stand-patters" " will have some difficulty in continuing to justify profit of 100 per cent on this product. Charles M. S1hwab is

It was argued that every flag out OF

of the columns in some of the parks and
found Mr.. Taylor equally agreeable at this
time to their use for such purposes The
consensus of opinion Of those present at

of park shelter which could be used by
pedestrians and automobilists In case OF
bad weather and as a band stand or plat
form upon stated occasions. accommodate

The subject Of gate entrance or per-

that the large group or park shelter

the north fork of the Flathead in
northwestern Montana and in the
TAX basin, in the same district.
There are also caribou in the Yak
basin. Some idea of the plentifulness
OF elk in northwestern Montana may
be gained from the fact that the fruit
growers are complaining that the ami
mails are destroying the fruit trees.
Ex-Goy. Robert B. Smith, who is here
from sunset, where he has a fine fruit
ranch, said that only last week he saw
three big bucks in the orchard eighty
yards from his house. They played
and leaped and romped with one an
other and did not pay any attention
to the governor, standing only a few
yards off. No damage was done to
the trees. However, other fruit grow
ers have not been so fortunate, the
animals coming into the orchards and
rubbing the velvet off their horns and
the bark off the trees at the same
time.
Deer seem to be particularly plenti-
full this year and it is to these ami
mails that most of the hunters will
give their attention. A number OF
these animals have been killed on the
railroad tracks around here by trains
striking them and almost every day
many of them are seen between this
place and Stryker.

Serving Asparagus.

Now that fresh asparagus is plenti-
full again, do not make the mistake
OF covering up it's delicate favor
with seasOnings such as mace, TARA
gou vinegar, etc. In a popular res
taurant a guest from the country who
had not seen the fresh vegetable
since last summer planned a rare
treat for himself when he ordered a
portion of asparagus. When it came
his hopes turned TO ashes at the first
taste. The vegetable was seasoned
with mace, and for all the favor OF
the dish it might as well have been
anything else as asparagus. A cook
in private family, when she makes
asparagus salad, invariably adds
little tarragon vinegar to the dress
ing, but it serves to conceal its flaw
or. The upstate way of cooking as
paTagus is more economical than the
city way. There it is served as peas
are prepaI ed out Of town. 1t is cut
into short lengths, cooked in a little
water until it is tender and is then
seasoned with cream salt and pep
per. Cooked in this way. asparagus
becomes of necessity spoon food
instead Of finger victuals."

Hanuinu Pictures,

When a room has been newly wall
papered there comes an opportunity
to rearrange and dispose of the pict-
ures which formerly hung there. No
picture should be rehung that does
not look we'll against the new back
ground, and such pictures as do not
suit the style of the room should be
ruthlessly removed elsewhere. AS a
room is made by its wall decoration,
so is it spoiled by inappropriate pict-
ures.
Pictures Shout not only be suited
to the apartment where they are to
be hung, but also suited to each
other. 1t is a mistake to hang a water
color next to an oil painting, just as it
is wrong to place a reprint beside a
fine engraving. Dining room or library
pictures in their heavy frames will b
entirely unsuited to the the delicate
traceries of a pompadour paper. The
wide Flemish oak frames now use so
much for photographs look we'll on al
most any wall, but they are essential
ly intended for a plain background.
Never crowd too many pictures on
one wall, so that no one can be prop
erly appreciated. Many are prone to
overcrowd their walls as we'll as their
drawing rooms, but a private house
is neither a bric-a-brac shop nor an
art gallery, and, indeed, no art gallery
would crowd it's treasures into an in
distinguishable confusion.
Pictures must not be hung too
high to be seen clearly nor too low to
look well, but every good housekeeper
will see to it that her pictures, like
her window shades, are hung straight
are kept even. A crooked picture
drives some people with orderly minds
almost to distraction.
