Tucker Leaves for Chicago.

Hot Springs, Ark, February H.-(Spe- cial. )-After exhausting every possible means to prevent answering the summons to appear before retiring board in Chi- cago next Monday Col Fred W. Tucker left this afternoon on the Illinois Central, and will arrive in Chicago Sunday morn ing at Il o'clock. Because Mrs. Myrtle Platt might have been called Into the case as a witness, 1t was decided that she should remain here, and only George w. Frey, brother of Mrs. Platt, accompanied the colonel. Even the Japanese servant, who has been with Colonel Tucker much, both in the Philippines and here, was left outside the pale of court summons. He remains here with Mrs. Platt. The Jap anese servant probably knows more of the relations between Colonel Tucker and Mrs. Platt than any other person.
 Mrs. Platt asserts her innocence when speaking of the case and declares she has never been more than nurse and friend to the colonel. She flushed at the criticism by Mrs. Dolly Logan Tucker, wife of the army officer, and Mrs. John A. Logan, mother-in-law in the case, but her lips are always silenced through the influence of Colonel Tucker.

The sheriffs of the state are rather slow in making their settlements with the auditor for their January collections small percentage of them having paid up on the 10th instant, which was the last day under the law. So far 49 sheriffs have settled so that 29 are yet to be heard from. It was expected and pre- dicted that the January collections would reach S,000O00. but in view of the fact that 49 counties have paid in less than half million dollars, there is small hope that the remaining counties will make up the million.

were attended by all except a few OF
the 1880 members of the church Virgil
.. Stricken, the first reader, announced
that a meeting of members would be
held Nov. 4. He said that at that
meeting the members would receive the
report of the trustees of the First
Church. who during the last two weeks
have been conducting an Investigation
of the charges because of which the
Boston officials of the Christian
Science church placed Mrs. Stetson and
sixteen of her followers in the First
Church under discipline.
Mr.. Stricken did not announce that
on the same day that this members
meeting will be held students of cl1ris-
tian science will come to this city to
consult with Mrs. Stetson. their teach-
er, and that at this meeting of her fol-
lowers Mrs. Stetson will announce that
she. and not Mrs. Eddy, is the real
leader Of the christian science move
ment
From unofficial sources 1t 10 learned
that Mrs. Stetson, in determining on
the leadership of Mrs. Eddy, Is actu-
ated by the belief that much has been
done by the Boston officers in regard
to affairs of the First Church in this
city and in other matters has been done
without Mrs Eddy's inspiration. Mrs.
Stetson is said to feel that the divine
spirit of teaching" has passed from
Mrs. Eddy and that the latter is now
dominated by lieutenants she has 4ath>
cred about her in Boston.

MARKET FOR ICE IN TURKEY
Company shaves Product Until It Re-
sembIes Snow, Which the Ma.
tives Demand.


There Is. 2 newly erected ice plant
at Smyrna, Turkey. built by an Amer
ican company, and 1t is now doing
good business. An Ice plant there has
been making daily about six tons Of
poor ice, which 1t sold at S15 ton.
The new company makes from dis
titled water fine, clear ice. which IL
sells at SIS q. ton, and although it has
been trimming scarcely 80 days 1t is
selling from Is to 40 tons of ice daily.
The company has some unique CON-
petition from the mountain folk, who
bring to Smyrna snow packed In skins.
They save the snow in the winter by
having It packed in trenches and COW
cred with pine needles.
The Turks are very conservative,
and it is difficult to get some Of them
to use ice instead Of the snow to
which they have been accustomed for
many years, even though the latter
costs them one cent pound, or $40
a ton.
The new company puts block Of
ice in kox, with small circular saws
at one end, and produces an article
that cannot be distinguished from
snow and which is sold in successful
competition with the mountain snow.

CURB DRINKING OF $4,000.
Steel Corporation Plans to Invest $40.
100000 in Buying the Nine Brewerie!

Steel Corporation Plans to Invest $780,
100000 in Buying the Nine Breweries
Pittsburg. Pa. Oct. 25-The United
States Steel corporation has decided to
make an effort to control the drinking
of $4,000 persons in Fayette county,
Pennsylvania, who are interested in the
manufacture of coke. and will invest
s10,000,000 in a project TO obtain pos
session of nine breweries now running
in the county
While the effort to merge these
breweries is conducted in the name
of the Pittsburg Brewing Company. 1t
is understood that the steel corporation
is back of the whole move and will try
to regulate the drinking of the for
eigners, it being figured that at least
3 per cent better returns can be
CLEANED on the millions invested there
by regulating the drink of the coke
worker-permitting him to drink. but
stipulating where and when he shall
drink.
The sale of beer by the key or by the
barrel to the coke worker is what the
corporation objects to. and this it will
try to remedy.
For more than year figures have
been gathered on drinking among coke
workers, and it is found that for sew
enty-two hours after each pay day
the coke ovens do not run more than
two- thirds their capacity. and there is
scarcely a pay day when hundreds of
tons of coke are not ruined by ina bility
to get. proper men TO care for it in the

fight soArely. among repub

ing his fight sqArely among republic
cans He must go boldly about the
business of defeating those insurgents
whom he knows to be opposed to him.
Better have democrats in their places,
from the Cannon point of view, but
better still, have standpatters succeed
them wherever it is possible.
These are the features in the devel-
oping fight~over control of the house,
which are causing all the politicians to
predict that next years campaign will
be the most remarkable complication
of cross currents, conflicting interests
and underground methods, that has
been known in a generation. Not by
any means all the insurgents are cer-
tain of being easily returned to their
seats. Some of them are in districts
which are very close as against the
democrats, and they may lose at the
polls. This is true of all the Nebra ska
members on the republican side. 1t
looks today as if Nebraska might have
only one republican in the next house.
Then there are a number of other in
surgents whose home districts are
closely divided between progressive
and conservative affiliations, within the
republican party. Some of these stand
chance to lose their nominations.
Finally. there are some whose districts
are so rabidly anti Cannon, that the
sitting congressman are regarded as
having been altogether too mild in
their insurgency, and there are aspir-
ants who promise, If they can get the
job, to shake their fist in Uncle Joe's
face every session, pull his whiskers
once a week. and knock the cigar out
of his mouth every time he starts to
light it. And in several districts there
is an excellent chance for these ardent
promisers to retire men who have been
consistent and effective insurgents.
Cannon Knows His Danger
Nobody knows all about these varied
conditions so we'll as the speaker and
his trusted lieutenants. They are keep
ing tab on conditions everywhere, and
will know how, with their long ex-
perience and skill, to pull the right
strings to produce the desirable re-
suits. The insurgents are making hay
this summer, lecturing and visiting
around their districts and strengthen
ing their lines in every possible way:
and In general, matters are framing
greatly to their liking. But the assump-
ton that everything is comfortably in
their hands, is not too readily to be in
dulged

Practically Unchanged.

Chicago, Oct. o6.-Bulk of receipts of
cattle today We're in the western d.
vision, and while the market was not
much changed, there was not the same
demand for stuff as on yesterday, and
where any changes We're made they
were on the side of lower levels Butch
ers' stock brought steady prices. Fig
urges on good to prime steers were IS

Last weeks sharp price drop and
subsequently warnings sent to the
country against overstocking the mark
ct today had the desired effect The
country has temporarily, at least,
ceased heavy liquidation of habitat
steers. and it is hoped by the traders
that the holders of these kinds will con-
tinue to hang onto them rather than
again food the market in the near flu
ture.
Packers turn about action in the
market was the most surprising feature
of the situation. In late days last week
the local buyers acted as tho they
didn't need another bullock for a
month. 1t was almost impossible to sell
cattle even at ruinous declines, but the
reaction in values Monday along with
the freer buying demand, indicates at
least fair demand still prevailing in
consumptive quarters. and the trade
is convinced that moderate marketings
later this week can not effect material
weakness from the braced-up price
basis.
