AUTO rs WRECKED
Chicago Machine Trapped in
Railroad Track.

-Four Chicago autoists came to grief
last night at the Chicago Terminal
tracks on Holman street. They were
on their way to Chicago from Ham
mond, and in some way the front
wheels of the touring car became
cramped in the rails, wrenching the
axle and putting the engine out of
commission. The passengers-two la
dies and two men-went to the Wa
bash depot and phoned to Chicago for
another machine to come out and tow
the party and the wrecked auto home
The party left Hammond about mid
night. No report was made of the ac
cident to the police.

Federal Report Shows How Co commercial
Parasites Skin the American Peo-
pie Wholesale Prices Have De-
creased.

According to the annual report
on wholesale prices just published
by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, wholesale prices have
decreased on the average, during
the last year, despite the fact that
the consumers is paying moae than
ever for the necessities of life.
The bulletin is quite exhaustive,
covering the wholesale prices for
25S sample articles, and prices on
the same for the nineteen wears,
1890 to 1905. The average de-
crease in Wholesale prices in 1905
over 19O7-that year witnessing
highest prices of the whole pre-:
vlous decade-was So per cent
WI lille the Republican party
had been patting the independent
farmer on the back and telling
him that he is receiving Il higher
price for his products than ever
before in the history Of America.
this official report gives the lie to
the tlattery. There was an actual
decrease in the wholesale prices
OF farm products of 30 par cent in
1908 below the average for 1907.
This was III spite of the fact that
food, most of which was these same
farm products, increased "a per
cent.
These remarkable figures show
that there is an increase instead of
a decrease in the graft of those en-
gagged in the business Of distri but
ing commodities III the United
States, in spite of the fact that
immense mprovements have been
made IN the method of distribu-
ton.
