karal unenIng's Death.

Karal Linening, aged "a years, a ma
tive Of Lauosburg, Brandonburg Prov
ince, Prussia, was badly mangled by
failing under a moving train on the Y.
a NJ. v. R. r.. at Lefore Station one day
last week. The railroad company had
him brought to the Kings Daughters
Hospital in this city where he received
the very best attention until he died
two days later. Mr.. Robt. Herman took
up voluntary collection from the citi-
Gems to pay the burial expenses and his
remains were inferred In the Kings
Daughters Circle lot at Odd Fellows
Cemetery--Mr. Herman very kindly
giving the Surplus of s7.oaS >above the
necessary burial expenses to the Kings
Daughters. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Geo. b. Myers, pas
tor of the Episcopal church. Karal
Lnening was making his way from
place to place over the country and met
with his fatal accident by attempting
to board the train at Leilore. From
papers found on his person IL was as
certained that he had served three
years with distinction in the German
army. Mr.. Herman sent the papers and
notice OF Linening's death to the Ger
nan Ambassador at Washington, and
also notified Linening's cousin, Rev. q.
V. Newburg, pastor Of the Lutheran
church at Big Stone, s. D., OF the young
mans death. Mr.. Herman requests
The Commonwealth to thank the Kings
Daughters and DIR. d. s. Humphreys

Biq Advance In Meat Prices.

New York, April 6.-Retailers have
again put up all meat prices from half
to five cents per pound, beginning to-
day.
Porterhouse steaks that have been 30
cents per pound will be 30 cents, and
chops that have been Is cents will be
80 cents; round steaks that have been
% cents per pound will be % cents;
mutton remains the same while spring
lamb is found in the markets in small
quantities at 35 cents per pound. For
ribs and chops 30 cents per pound is
asked and for breast for roasting pur-
poses 80 cents.
Pork has taken a tremendous jump
since the meat prices began to raise ten
days ago and chops are now bringing 10
cents per pound. There is scarcity OF
pork tenderloins in the market while
roasting pork is bringing l6 to IL cents
per pound.
Talks with wholesale dealers on yes
terday developed the fact that there is
not likely to b. any further change in
prices for this month. About the first
of May the cattle raisers OF the country
will be able to ship to the markets Some
grass fattened cattle and this will make
the supply somewhat greater. There il
no corn fed cattle on the farms and
ranches to speak Of and those the farm
ers have are being held back and ship
ned gradually SO as to get the adyant'
age of the high prices now prevailing.

60 miles per hour in a calm, while In
moderate wind this is reduced to
, 40 miles per hour. The propellers
and rudder are built along entirely
different lines than any heretofore
used by Captain Knabenshue, and the
vessel as a. whole has but faint re-

The Ohio State Board of Agricul-

Not only will State Fair visitors be
entertained with daily flights of the

conducted under the personal super

handsome trophies will be awarded
the successful contestants in the vari-

Soon after the experiment was

it should, and with the progress
of the work this difficulty Increased
until the clover crop became al
