SPECIAL.
Kansas City, Mo, Sept 6.-Reports
of the United States Agricultural De
partment show that the receipts of
livestock during July at the seven
largest stockyards in the Middle West
were nearly 100000 head less than
July, 1909. and about 600 600 head less
than i'll the same month OF 1908
Though hogs on the hoof arc high,
the receipts during July I8 per cent
less than the past five year average.
The shortage at these markets for
the first seven months ci 1910 eX-
ceeds 25 per cent, as tOIhpdfcd with
the average OF former Years.
There has been great decline in
the storing and shipping OF dressed
and cured meats also.
The packers have sent out of Chi
cago IS per cent less fresh beef, cured
meats and lard than in the CORES
pondlng seven months period of any
year since 1000. The packers ship
ments OF canned meats were only 40
per cent of the same period in 1906
Nor are they storing a quantity OF
meat. The stock of meat on the last
day of July, 1910, at the five principal
packing centres, had decreased about
100000 pounds since the end OF June
and was about one-third less than the
average 10 rthe same date in the five

BIG MEAT SHORTAGE
PRICE TO INCREASE
Worst Drouth In Twenty Years And
Cutting Up Of Ranges The Cause

The following i'll regard TO the high
prices OF meat and live stock comes
from the St Paul, MINI. Rural
Weekly, Of September 7, and we be-
lieve it will be OF interest to man.
Of our readers, and farmers especially.
Ed.
The people Of the United States are
face TO face with another big increase
in the cost of living.
The meat harvest is failure this
faIl-the lone failure among all the
1910 American crops.
There is genuine shortage in live
stock, not one made by the Chicago
packers for price purposes. but a
shortage on the ranges and the farms.
The livestock marketing season is
now more than hall over and the situa-
ton warrants prediction that 20 to
90 per cent less meat is available than
for the same period during the past
five years. This means that the Ameri-
can housewife can expect her butcher
to increase his prices this winter from
rs to 35 per cent and even more il the
beei trust takes its usual advantage OF
conditions.
The scarcity of live stock on the
market and reports OF poor quality
have become so serious that the tditor
of the Rural Weekly asked +. J. Tan
ner, the Kansas City livestock expert,
for a statement OF conditions and
causes by wire.

A HEROIC TRAINMAsTER.

Trainmaster Nelson, through whose
courage hundreds were saved, pre-
pared q long line of box cars. and the
fugitives scrambled aboard. Many
Rainy River citizens prepared to do
sert their homes and the train started
east. but the wind turned around and
the flames on this side subsidized.
At Spooner, the heaviest property
loss Is that or the shevlin Matthew
Lumber company. Beside the mill they
lost 5o,00O0O0 feot of mill stock valued
at $50 per thousand. In Spooner the
only houses left standing were those
around the station and half a dozen on
the river. The problem.o Of caring for
the refugees is a serious one. Eight
hundred were taken to International
Falls. 1t is said relief will be supplied
by the United States In n few hours.
In the meantime the Canadian people
are feeding them. Tho women and chill
dren have found shelter with the fami-
lies of Canadians, but most OF the
men are In box cars.
Most Of the people have lost every
thing they possessed. many being al
most naked. Tents are badly needed
The most conservative estimates are
that at least 100 people have persisted
in the woods of whom there Is no rec
ord and possibly never will be. Two
thousand people are homeless.

WIND FANs FLAMEs.


The fires have been smoldering in
that district for months and were start
ed anew by the terrific wind that be-
gan two days ago The wind increased
in velocity until it bore a wave of flame
100 feet high and n half n mile wide
Many settlers took to the railroad track
but most of these were burned to q
crisp as the fire leaped this barrier of
some 300 yards along the clcarings. A
description OF the holocaust was given
by James Remsey of Spooner. He said:
II was several miles south of Beau
dette when first heard the roar of
the flames. / started to run for the
town but the fire was coming fast and
was very close. / caughtup with Il man
who was accompanied by n woman
and baby. They were exhausted and
I grabbed the baby and fled. There
was wall of flame ahead of US but the
wind shifted and We passed through. I
cannot understand how any Of. the
homestcaders Of that section escaped"
The flames struck Pitt early in the
afternoon and everything was dcs-
troyed Previously Beaudettc and
Spooner had burned and the people fled
across to Rainy River. Many were
overtaken as they fed from Pitt and
persisted.
WORK OF RELIEF.
The work of relief carried on by the
Canadian Northern railroad saved
thousands of lives including practically
all the Inhabitants OF Spooner, Beau
dette and Pitt who escaped by the special
trains that the company provided. The
people had become so accustomed to the
haze in tho sky caused by the burning
timber that they could not be made to
realize that the situation was becoming
dangerous.
The Canadian Northern railway has
been running relief trains in every di-
rection, stopping at every point where
frantic people were to be found along
the track. Several trains have been run
through suffocating smoke and over
burning bridges, regardless of danger
to the crews. Among the most dramatic
Incidents was the escape of 1000 fugi-
tives in n long train of box cars. The
throng of men, women and children
awaited the train while their homes
burned.
The first tralnload steamed across
to Rainy River with men hanging to
the sides and to the trucks Women
were given first place. Many of. those
left started running down the tracks

Minister of Justice Costa Says Dissol,i

Lisbon, Oct 9.-The expulsion of the
monks from Portugal has begun. No
time will be lost III driving thcm across
the frontier. Several hundred nuns
have been assembled and will be de-
ported out Of the country. Cardinal
Neto, ex-patrinrch of Lisbon. the bish-
OF Beta and other prominent ecclesias-
tics have already been expelled.
The authorities utter warning
against the exaggerated reports con-
stantly finding currency among the OK
cited populacc.
The affair at Quelhas monastery was
not only serious, but the interior of the
church was wrecked and descreated
and the organ destroyed in the mad
search by soldiers and civilians W.

underground passages by which H.
imagined prietss and municipal guards
enormously suspected of hiding there,
made their escape. No secret passages
were discovered. but the searchers tore
down walls and benches and even the
altar in their vain endeavor.
Each day apparently adds to the sta
bllity of the republic. The members
of the new administration assert that
adherence to the new principles has
been given by many outlying towns
and districts.
Openly there are no royalist troops

CONGREGATIONS PROBLEM.
The provisional minister OF Justice,
Alfonso Costa, in an interview today,
said:
THE solution of the problem of the
congregations is not difficult. The gov
ernment only needs to prevent con-
tinuancc of religious settlements, all Of
which are illegal The dissolution will
occur without trouble and the con-
fiscation of property will follow In due
course" tS
Last evening there was great excite
ment in various parts of the city. Cav
airy patrolled the streets and from
time to time rifle shots were heard. 1t
was impossible to ascertain from what
direction the shots came. Sailors
guarding the Merces chapel entered
that edtice but found nothing. It is
believed however. that underground
passages connect the convents and
that those who were responsible for the
these.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
ELECT NEW OFFICERS

Sheffield February Especial 1.-THE
knights of Pythias held district con-
ference yesterday afternoon and night in
Sheffield with Grand Chancellor Herman
Beck and other distinguished Pythians
present. The afternoon session was given
to business and reports read from all
lodges in the district showing a healthy
condition The following officers were
elected for the coming year: William NJ.
Joones of Sheffield, president; H. c. Pol
lard of Huntsville, first vice president;
Harvey Weakley of Florence, second
vice president; j. L. Ingram of Rogers
vile, third vice president; ]. L. Hay of
Huntsville, secretary.
BY special dspensation of the grand
chancellor, Walter f. Marshall was
given the first, second and third degrees
in one night. These degrees were exem-
pified by Monte Belo Lodge of Florence,
with James Norman in charge.
The Rogersville lodge broke all records
for this district, initiating 81 candidates
In six months and this live lodge was
chosen to be host for the convention at
its next meeting.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
indorsing, Grand Chancellor Beck for a
second term. This is contrary to prece-
dent, as the custom is for grand lodge
officers to serve only one term.
