A correspondent asks me about
The beef rings" which are formed
among farmers for the pur-
pose OF supplying fresh meat to their
members. In the first place 1t is neces-
sary to have sixteen or twenty mem
bers, for a carcass can be cut to best
advantage. when it is cut into 16 or
20 portions. When beef is the only
meat provided, each member agrees to
furnish well-fattened steer or heifer,
not over two years old. A regular
butcher Is hired to do the killing. and
cutting up the portions. A strict ac-
count rs kept of each animal furnished,
and also OF each members weekly por-
ton. At the close of the season any
differences In values are adjusted. This
Ii the system followed by one very sue
cessftil association. Other systems may
differ in detail, but the main idea is
the same. The two things which must
be settled at the star; are. value of
each animal to be killed, and value Of
each portion. Then II one man gets a
better portion than another he pays
accordingly.-L c., In the Indiana

fire, and also that the doors of the

SALVATION ARMY CAPTAIN
 SHOOTS AT A BURGLAR

While eating a watermelon In the kitchen of his residence. 317 Whitman Street. at about 10 o'clock last night, Capt. L. A odom of the Salvation Army. caught sight of man crawling on hands and knees toward his dweli- ing. When aceosted by the Captain, the man made a quick spring toward the house, and. darting around the corner of the building, jumped the front fence.
 Meanwhile, Captain odom had has tened to the front door with his re- volver in hand and as the man fed down the street he. fired five shots at him. one of which. he thinks, may have taken effect though 1t did not stop hia flight. The occurrence was re- ported to the police and several arr rests were made on suspicion.
 Captain Odom stated that when he first perceived through the kitchen window thefman crawling laboriousIy along the ground, he thought that 1t was one of the men whom he keeps employed around his residence. With some suspicion nevertheless, excited by his peculiar behaviour, he hailed the answering, the man ran in close to the house where he was concealed from the view of the Captain, and ran around the building. appearing at the front just about the time that Captain odom arrived at the door with his re- voiver.
 fHesitating to fire at posslble friend, he again called out to the man, com uianding that he halt The intruder did not obey and Captain odom ffTlme- diately began to Are at him, ernptying hls revolver. The man then acted, said Captain odom last night in telling of tne aifair, as if he might be wounded . He ran up into the front yard of a nearby dwelling and with uncertain movements slipped and fell down the terrace upon the sidewalk. He fegain- ed his feet, however, and with little loss of time, resumed his flight, soon disappearing from view ..
 Captain odom reported the ciroum- stances to the police department and a search was instituteed far the alleged evil-doer. Several men were arrested on suspicion.
 Captain odom stated that his resi- dence had been burglarized1a number Of times within the past few months. and clothing and different articles of sllRht value removed He believes that the unknown man of last nights expert ence is the person responsible for the disappearance of the many things missed recently.
