Cudahy on Meat Prices.
Omaha, Nov I5-"The tide has at last
turned and meat prices are on the down
grade" says Edward Cudahy, Of the big
packing firm OF Cudahy Packing Com

II think prices will go still lower. but
am not inclined to state just how much
further the cut win extend.
Primarily the decrease in prices is due

the United States. and In fact, in other
countries, also. The big crop in foreign
countries reduce the amount 10 be ex-
ported from America, leaving more corn
for local consumption. This has lowered
the price on corn and farmers think they
can make more money feeding the grain
than by shipping It. For this reason,

In the West this winter than for several
years.
1T is purely a matter OF supply and
demand. II the packers had been respon-
sible for the high cost of meats, there
would be no reduction at present
Prices had reached such high point
that many had ceased eating meat. That
permitted the supply to gradually catch
up, and then came the announcement of
the tremendous corn crop in the face of
an extended shortage. Provisions had
reached a price commensurate with short

DAY OF PORK BARREL OVER
President Taft at Cincinnati Declares
for New Policy In River I'M
.f... provements.

Cincinnati.-Doom for the pork
barrel" and new policy of waterway
improvement, under which congress
would authorize prompt completion of
project when once undertaken, to
the end that river transportation may
prove strong factor in reducing
rail rates, were advocated here at the
Ohio Valley exposition by President
Taft. ..s. .r..,
The president said that the country
Is reused against corrupt control Of
legislative agencies, but that selfish
combinations of the representatives OF
the majority are equally dangerous.
We have reached a new epoch In
the matter of improvement of our wa
terways. The public is greatly
aroused by the confident and Just be-
lief that by more symmetrical. rea-
sonable and prompt expenditure OF
money upon approved projects, rates
for transportation may be lowered,
and the business of the country en-
tirely benefited.
AS country, we are all in favor of
the most effective and economical ex-
penditure for the development of our
waterways. but as members of a dis
trict. and as representative of dis
tricts, we are selfishly insistent upon
our shares of public appropriations
each year, however much that division
Of the spoil impedes the adoption of
the effective and economical improve
ment Of our water TRANSFORMATION.
The evil in the corrupt control Of a
congress or legislature by private in
terests is manifest and always called
for condemnation. But there is an
other kind of legislative abuse as dan
gerous to public veal in certain of it's
aspects as corruption, and that is the
selfish combination of the constitu-
ences to expend the money of the gov
ernment for the temporary benefit of q
part or with little benefit to the whole.
1t is the duty of the majority and
the minority to legislate always for
the benefit Of the whole people, and
any enactments that look to the selfish
explorations Of lees than the whole
ct the expense of the whole, and with
out benefit to the whole, is a species
Of legislative abuse that comes very
near corruption in its effects. and Is
perhaps more dangerous than corrup-
ton, because those who support such
a combination are generally bold In
its defense.

WITH CAR NEAR TIP
TON, IND.
TWELVE PERSONS ARE HURT
Second Smashup on Indiana Roads
Within Week-Motorman Who
Jumped and Saved Himself Says,
~ Guess We overran instructions"

Upton, Ind.-In collision on the
Indiana Union Traction road two
miles north of this city Saturday six
persons were killed and IL others
more or less seriously injured.
This was the second disaster on In
diana traction lines within a week, the
first having occurred on the Wabash
Valley line at Kingsland on Wednes'
day
In both cases there was a mistake
in orders-one of the trains overran
the station at which It was to stop
and met the other on sharp curve
In head-on collision.
The dead:

port.
Broo, Lewis, Kokomo, Ind.

DR.. w. C. Holthouser, who was killed
In the wreck, was on his way to Ko
komo, Ind, where he was to have beer
married. His brother, who also was
killed, was to have been the best man
at the wedding. The bride to have
been is Miss Nellie Coxon, daughter OF
the secretary of the Great Western
Pottery company of Kokomo.
The collision was between a north
bound limited passenger train and 6
south-bound freight. The south-bount
motorman had orders to wait at the
first stop north of the crossing, 1t Is
said, but overran that point, thinking
he could make another switch.
A clump of trees hid the approach
ing cars and they came together at 6
curve. The freight train plowet
through the front Of the limited, de
molishing the smoker. The motor
man and all the passengers in the
smoking compartment of the limited
were killed. The motorman and cen
ductor on the freight car jumped and
were not injured.
81 guess we overran the orders,
said Motorman Dan Lacy, when he
had fully recovered from the shocl
caused by jumping from his car. Con
ductor Sebree was equally dazed al
the occurrence and could not explain
why it was they had passed the switch

The Walking Trip.

It is a delightful way to spend a
weeks vacation.
Particularly If you get this vacation
in the autumn, and are fond of walk
ing.
A few congenial companions are
better than a large crowd, where
somebody is sure to tire or to become
dissatisfied.
For those who are planning to take
such a trip, a few suggestions may
not come amiss.
On long tramp do not drink a
great deal, particularly heating sweet
or ice cold drinks. Cool water is the
best beverage.
Don't eat heavy meals In the mid
die of the day, unless you are plan.
ming to rest afterward. A light break
fast and luncheon may be followed by
a good supper, after the days walk is
over.
Never start on a walking tour with
new boots. That way sore feet lie,
They should be well broken in before
setting out.
Keep a pencil, knife, and your ad.
dress in your pocket. You can never
tell when you will need them.

HELD FOR FORGERY
W, c. Ramsay Accused Of Selling
Forged Real Estate Mortgages
INSURANCE CO. LOSES $4,000
Equitable of Iowa Is Victim of Clever
Abba Real Estate Man Who 10 Il
Now Under Arrest on Grave
Charges.

Des Moines, Sept. 27.-Absolutely
perfect forgeries, consummate skill
and toilsome care enabled w. c. Ram
say of Abba, prominent real es-
tate man, to fool the Equitable Life
Insurance company Of Des Moines
and the German-American Savings
bank of Burlington for three years
and defraud them out of $4,000. it is
claimed.
Ramsay was arrested Sunday night.
He had given up. Toward the last
he made no effort to conceal his
forgeries. This carelessness opened
the way for suspicion. The mans
guilt was almost Immediately estab-
lished. He is said to have spent every
cent Of the $4,000 in about two years.
Five fake mortgages, involving $780,
600, We're sold to the Equitable of
Iowa in the last three years. Ficti-
tious names were used In every case.
President Cyrus Kirk of the Equit-
able declared that the papers were
forgeries throughout; that the sigma
lures had been forged in every case.
False reports were furnished in ev-
cry case and to these reports the man
forged the signature of his own faith
er. In addition to all these precau-
tons false fire insurance policies were
provided. Ramsay forgot no link in
the chain of circumstances to protect
himself.
For two years he intercepted inter
est notices sent out by the insurance
company. He also paid the interest
promptly in each case. But interest
on two mortgages came due on Sep.
TENDER /, 1910. He made no effort to
intercept the notices or to pay the
amounts. The notices were returned
TO the sender and then the investiga.
ton began.
I've been expecting the blow for
months and am glad that it has come
to the show down, for have been
living in the agony of hell for three
years" writes Mr.. Ramsay in a letter
received by President Kirk of the
Equitable.
