FLEES FROM CITY.
President Of National Cash Register
Company Mysteriously Attacked.

New York, April 11.-John H. Pat
terson, president of the National Cash
register company, has left Dayton,
Ohio, and is now living in New York,
as result of mysterious attacks on
him, which have caused him to fear
for his safety and that of his family.
Not only has Mr.. Patterson been
ries of attacks on his business and
personal character, but he has re-
ceived such warnings as to compel
him to maintain an armed force around
his residence and to travel under the
escort of bodyguard.
Mr. Patterson said at the ST. Regis
hotel today that in addition to moving
here himself he will also transfer the
general offices of his company to New
York. He will begin the reduction of
the working force in Dayton and start
factories in England and Germany to
supply his trade.

Meat Luxury in New York.

New York, April 11.-Retailers have
again put up all meat prices from half
to five cents pound, and when the
morning she found the new scale Of
prices in effect. Porterhouse steaks
that have heretofore been thirty cents
pound will be thirty-five cents, and
sirloins that have been twenty-eight,
will be thirty cents. Round steaks
that could have been bought for twenty
two cents pound last week will be
twenty-three.
Mutton will remain the same, while
spring lamb is TO be found in the mar
ket in small quantities at thirty-five
cents pound for the rib chops, and
thirty cents pound for the breast for
roasting purposes.
Pork has taken tremendous jump
since the meat prices began to rise ten
days ago, and chops are now bringing
scarcely any pork tenderloins in the
market, while roasting pork is bring
ing sixteen to eighteen cents a pound.
Talk with wholesale dealers devel-
oped the fact that there is not likely
to be any further change in the prices
for 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 are no corn fed cattle on the
farms and ranches to speak Of, and
those that the farmers have are be-
ing held back and shipped gradually
so as to get the advantage OF the high
prices now prevailing.

THE SOUTH DAKOTA FREIGHT CUT
II is Such Reduction in Nebraska
That r. r. Employees Fight.


1t is such a reduction in freight
South Dakota that local railway en-
ployes are working against in Ne
braska. Concerning the South Da-
kota cut, a special telegram from
Sioux Falls says:
Sioux Falls, S. D., April 11.-Resi-
dents of the western half of South
Dakota and shippers in general who
send goods to that part OF the state
will be greatly benefited by a new
schedule Of freight rates which was
adopted by the state board OF railroad
commissioners at meeting in Sioux
Falls.
II was not until late this afternoon
that the board concluded the work OF
adopting the new schedule, which has
been under consideration for some
months.
The entire reductions in freight
rates in western South Dakota made
by the board range from 43 per cent
to 10 per cent. on merchandise classes
and will show an average reduction
OF Is per cent. on such classes.
On immigration movables on a
distance of 800 miles the rate on car
load lots is reduced from 43 cents per
100 pounds to 17R cents per 100
pounds, or an average reduction OF
about so per cent.
The new rate, based on a distance
of $40 miles, which perhaps is the
greatest distance freight can be
hauled from east TO west in South
Dakota, shows a reduction from 76
cents per 100 0pounds to 80 cents per
100 pounds on immigrants goods.
1t was shown by the Investigations
OF the railroad commissioners that
621a per cent. Of local freight in the
various classes is moved inside OF fifty
miles and that S6la per cent. OF all
local freight in sthe various classes is
moved inside OF 1875 miles.

PLENTY FOR CITY CONSUMPTION
First Municipal Enterprise of the Year
Proves a Big Success and the Busi-

Dallas, S. D., April 13.-Special to
The News: The outcome of the first
municipal enterprise tackled by Dal-
las this spring is hailed with general
looked upon as propitious omen OF
the successful promotion of the town S
interests this coming season. Last
year, when the town was laid out,
there was so much to be done all at
once that things seemed to lag or get
started on the wrong foot. One of
the things that seemed most discour-
aging was the failure to find a plenti-
full supply of water easily accessible.
Two wells were dug, and each OF them
yielded water, but not in sufficient
quantity for general consumption for
all purposes and the water from them
has therefore only been used to keep
the reservoir and mains filled for hre
protection. AS starter for this year
it was recently decided by the city
council to make another effort to Sc
cure a good supply of water, many OF
the leading citizens having expressed
strong dislike to the appearance of
the water wagon" on the streets OF
Dallas. The contract was let for a
new well and the work begun and be.

was more than well started the con.
tractor reported that he had struck
plenty of water, and at present the
Dallas well is the wonder Of this sec
tion of the country. While the other
wells were sunk to a depth of sixty
feet and secured only a meagre flow
of water, the new one is only twenty
five feet deep when a heavy vein OF
water was found. At present the well
is thirty feet deep and it is intended
to make it ten feet deeper II possible,
but the work is attended with great
difficulty owing to the great flow OF

In the other wells the inflow is from
the sides but in the new one 1t is from

has been rigged to keep the water
down while the digging proceeds that

have to be coupled on if the we'll is
to be sunk deeper. The we'll is four

NINE CENTS A DAY.
Chicago Health Department Makes an
Astonishinq Statement in Bulletin.


Chicago, April II. Three square
meals, a bed, a bath and doctor, II
needed all for nine cents day.
This is the miracle which can be ac-
complished which even has been ac-

clares in it's weekly bulletin. Amounts
spent in excess Of that are "frills,"
which may hinder rather than help
the working man. Even this modest
allowance, II is asserted may cause
some to be overfed
These meals which the health de-
partment say can be provided so
cheaply, are not for invalids or dyspep-
tics. They are for the men who toll
with the pick and the shovel and are
calculated to produce the greatest

Some doubt about this bill OF fare
was entertained until after the phys

of them were actually overfed, the de.
partment states; 79 per cent were in
normal condition and per cent were
underfed.
