THEY DECIDE TO FIGHT.
Beef Packers Withdraw Their De-
murrers in Custer Case.

Jefferson City, Oct. 27.-Attorneys for
the beef packers withdrew today their
demurrers which were filed recently to
the petition of Attorney General Major.
for their custer for alleged violation of
the antitrust laws of the state. They
filed answers to the petition denying
the legality of the informations and at
ta,cking the constitutionality of the
antitrust laws of the state as viola
tive of the fourteenth amendment to
the federal constitution. In the case
of Hammond Packing company and the
ST. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision
company, it is alleged that the acts
complained of are barred by the statute
OF limitations.
The answers join the issues of facts
and now a special commissioner will
be named by the supreme court to take
testimony and report.

SNOWFALL HERE.
First FURRY of Season This After
noon.

The first snow of the season in To-
peka fell at lis in light furry which
disappeared as quick as it struck the
earth. The temperatures ranged coId
all day, between 40 and 45 degrees. A
strong wind of 20 to 80 miles has blown
during the day from the northwest.
The cold wave is coming from the
northwest area, the center of it now
being in western Wyoming, where the
temperature is at IA degrees. Snow is
falling at Duluth and st. Paul and in
many parts of the northern and noun
tain states. Temperatures below freez-
ing prevail from Kansas north to Can
ada and into the dominion.
Wintry weather is the forecast for
Topeka for a day or two. The wave
from wyoming will be in passing for
that length of time but by tomorrow
night the wind is expected to abate
with the city in the tail end of the
moving cold. Whether or not Saturday
will be warm again can not yet be de-
termined Tomorrow morning will be

the small but up-to-date hotel which is
the boast of the 5000 inhabitants Of
Chicoutimi.
Thoroughly Tired.
The two aeronauts reached here at 10
o'clock last night and retired shortly
before midnight-as soon after their ar
rival as they could get away from the
opportunities of crowd of welcoming
and congratulating citizens. They had
driven 40 miles over rough country from
St AMBROSE and were tired to the
bone as one of them expressed it. A
flood of telegraphic messages from the
United States which awaited them on
their arrival went unanswered and for
the most part unread until morning.
Their nights rest was bound to be
brief at the best for their train over
the Quebec and Lake st. John was
scheduled to leave at 7:30 o'clock this
morning and if they missed this they
must wait until evening. Both airmen
agreed that the most welcome sight in
all Chicoutimi on their arrival was the
bath tub in their rooms at the hotel.
This was a luxury which they had been
denied for nine days. And every one
of the nine days had been spent ardu-
ously Four of the nights had been
passed out of doors with the hard
ground for a bed and their army blank

will go back and see what can be done
to get the big bag from its cache on
the side of the mountain to the rail-
road here. This will not be an easy
task. Messrs. Hawley and Post landed
about 46 hours after their departure
from st. Louis. The balloon basket
touched earth at 3:35 o'clock on the af-
ternoon of the 18th. They probably
flew in all about 1000 miles, although
the direct distance between the two
points on which the international race.
is decided is only 1856 miles. This would
make their average rate of progress
about 80 miles an hour.

BANK STOCKS ON STOCK EXCHANGE.
FINANCIAL MARKET
Bank Holdings Show Marked
Improvement.

In a one-hour session the local stock
market displayed decided activity on
movement of prices that generally
tended in the direction of higher levels,
marked Improvement being enjoyed by
the Hartman shares, United states
Steel. Canadian Pacific and st. Paul.
The London exchange was closed, and
business on the local board was sus-
pended at II o'clock owing to the death
of the King of EngA nd, but in the short
period of trading the course Of quota
tions reflected aggressive support by
substantial interests and encouraged the
idea that no material liquidation would
develop in the current week, either IN
this market or on the British exchange,
except perhaps in the rubber shares IN
London. the market for which Is in an
oversold position and sensitive to ad-
verse developments. Financiers here
who have received advices from London
are not at all apprehensive over the ef-
feet of the succession Of the new King on
money and politics. and they apparently
stand ready to protect stock market
prices in the event Of professional at
tacks upon quotations.
The bank statement, showing actual
conditions as of Friday night, made
most favorable comparison with the eX-
hibit of a week ago, loans decreasing
more than S22,O00,000 and the reserve
above legal requirements advancing So
457.O75 to s12, ,639, ,625. against the aver
age reserve of S10.772,525. the latter
comparing with S7.627. .450 at this time
last year and S63, ,457 in 1908. The
trust companies also showed contrac-
ton in loans. Loans Of the associated
banks are still in excess Of deposits, but
the changes in bank holdings in the week
lust closed show the ability Of the insti-
tutions to readjust their affairs to
stronger position.

pected to show considerable increase in
the surplus Exports last month, 1862
tons, were smaller than those of any pre-
ceding month since May. 1907. The total
exports of the first four months this year
however, were A,S62 tons, comparing with
S2ZS3 tons IN the corresponding period last
year Foreign advices state that German
ana British copper consumption are in
creaslng' but indications are that in
during the coming few months. The gen.
eral business reaction. which appears TO
be under way in this country, probably
means a slight decline in the American
consumption also. Unless something hap
pens soon to stimulate consumption the
price Of copper will probably be marked
down to IL cents. The history of the trade
shows conclusively that whenever copper
has been available at IL cents or lower
the consumption has enormously in
creased. both in this country and abroad.
In only eight years out of the last thirty
has the price of copper failed to average
over II cents per pound, and the low prices
occurred following the collapse of the
Secretan syndicate in 1885 and 1886, and
during the business panic extending from
1882 TO 1887. The Amalgamated corner col
lapsed In 1901 with approximately as large
surplus or copper as there is at pres
ent, yet the average price in 1902 was about
121s cents. and 13ai cents in 1903. The
trouble at present is that surplus of
copper accumulated during the 1907 panic
period. and since then production has in

OUR CHIEF OF POLICE.
A Man Who Does His Duty.

There is no man in this country who
endeavors to do his duty than the
Major and Superintendent of the Po-
lice Department of this city. He may
be criticised and charged with being
severe, but his every act demonstrates
his fitness for the office he occupies.
While the Commissioners are at the
head of the local government, the
Chief of Police is a busy man. Just
consider for a moment the great num-
Der of men under him. Ali that he
asks and expects is for his men to do
their duty. His position on the John
SON. Jettrles moving pictures IS this
He knows the temperament of the
rough element in this city. He is
aware Of the feeling that exists among
this element 1t a riot should happen
to be created, he knows that his men
would either get injured or they would
inJure some one. Therefore, to stop
semblanCe of a disturbance he rec
commended to the Commissioner that
the moving pictures of this great fight
be prevented from being exhibited iii
this city. The exhibition of these pic
lures would only satisfy the curiosity
OF the mob and excite it to frenzy 1t
IS an evident fact that less scandal has
been created under his administration
than any other Chief of Police who
has had charge of his department.
