INCREASE IN THE
PRICE OF meats

Washington. March Meat
prices have advanced in al. the prin-
cipal producing and consuming sec
tion5 OF the world. according tc
complications just made by the Blu
eau Of Statistics OF the Department
of Commerce and Labor The fix
ures which the Bureau has compiled
consist chiefly OF the export price
OF The principal meat exporting coun-
tries of the world and the import an
quoted wholesa @ prices in the chief
meat importing and consuming coun
tries. The chief meat EXPORTING
countries are Australia. New Tea
land. Argentina, Canada and tn,
United States; and the chief meat
Importing countries. the United
Kingdom. Germany and. in a less de-
gree, the other European countries
All Of the meat exporting countries
show higher prices uer pound in thei
exports in recent years than those o.
decade ago. and all OF the mea
Importing countries show highe,
rates in their import figures and IL
the current market quotations.
Curiously however. the advance in
fresh meats is less than that f.
sa ted and prese we'd meats. and in
nearly all cases the advance I'm bee
is less than that in pork or mutton
The fact that the percentage. of aa
vance in prices OF fresh meats. esDe
cially those exported in the chill
or frozen state has not been as grea
as that OF saltcd or preserved meat
Is supposed TO De due. iu part

DESPERATE KILLS
COUNTY JILL. 4

=
Jackson, Ky. Nov. 1l.--Jailer Wos-
L. Turner. the second Broathitt coa.n-
ty official to meet his death at the
hands of Jake Noble, was shot and
instantly killed by the latter on the
street. near the Jail building at 10
o'clock last night. Noble, it is re-
r-t.cd, made Jhe second trip to the
.a.i before he could induce Mr.. Tur-
ner to 80 out on the street with him.
hfter tboy lett the jail building to-
aether .hey walked down College
avenue to the corner of Court street.
noble proposed that they go down to
his house and get a drink of whhskey.
but Turner, who by this time seemed
TO realize something of Mobiles pur-
pose, dcciied 90 20 with him adj start
ed to 20 up Cour, street Juss as he
started to turn away from Noble,
t"o young mon, Pierce Crawford and
Harrison Hall, came along and the
four men walked together. AT this
time hundreds OF Shots were being
fired all over town in celebration of
the victory of rhe Republicans carry
ing Brl.Gi't comfy. Noble asked
Pierce Crawford for mis- pistol. and
Crawford thinking that Noble merely
wished to join in the celebration by
firing in thc ground, handed him his
pistol.
AS soon as Noble got hold of the
pistol he wheeled and fired upon Tur-
ner, thg "rst bullet struck under the
arm, went directly through his heart
and came out under the other arm.
As he started TO fall Noble shot him
a second time, this bullet, taking of
feet in Ibis shoulder. Noble then
turned and ran across the Kentucky
river bridge to South jackson, and Is
supposed to have struck the road to
Lost Creek.
Shortly after daylight Noble met a
traveller coming TO Jackson and in
formed him that he mad killed y man
down there last night and told him
to tell the authorities at Jackson that
. il they sent any officer after him to
have him bring two collins, one for
the officer and one for himself.
I il is the firm belief here that Noble
viii not be taken alive as he is known
| to bo desperate man. Wesley Turn
er is the fourth man now known to
)h1'e been killed by Noble.
/ No motive for Turner's assassina-
ton has been discovered except that
the Jailer compelled Noble to give up
@ razor which ne had managed to Sc
cure when ne was confined in Jail last
/ winter.
Turner was elected jailer of Brea.
thitt county last fall. He was a re-
rcctcd citizen; a man of very quiet
manner and most iuoHensiye. He
