Hogs this week sold at the Chicago

requires going back some years to eX-
plain. to the ruinous markets OF Two
years ago. when the packets set the
price at 81 to $3.50 for what hey no"
are giving 50 to 1925. At he prices
two years ago the hog producers mao
no profits, and that years porclne crop
passed into the packers hands under
cost o. production. In
many farmers went out of the business
of producing hogs, and it is stated that
until a few months & breeding STOCK
was relentlessly shipped to marker.
The natural result is a famine IN noss.
The Chicago packers, if this analysis
be true, and it is that of the experts
have themselves to blame. IN thelr
greed, when the opportunity occurred
they orbad the farmer his pro1t. NO"
the Inevitable punishment retallates
upon the packers, who are forced 10
pay the farmer an eXorbitant prolt. II
the packers had been pound-Wlse ana
not penny-foolish, they would always
have allowed the producer a reasonable
profit and would have avoided the
present famine prices. The packers

nation of public opinion. hey were
not in the pubIic's good graces as
things were. They are much less like
Nv to be in those good graces when the

MAIL TRAINS LATE.
DcadwOod Business Men Wage War
on Northwestern Line.

on Northwestern Line.
A vigorous fight is being waged by
Deadwood business men against the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company on account of the late ar
rival of its mail ain at that place.
Public indignation has been aroused
to such an extent that the Deadwood
business club made an Investigation
and after several ineffeetual protests
has taken the matter up with the gov
officials at Washington.
The business men charge that the
railroad is using old and worn out
equipment to haul it's trains into
and the official records of
the p~ostoffice department show hat
during the past -four months the mail
train from the east has been on time
but six days, frequently arriving eight
hours late, due to breakdowns of the
engines.

THREE MEN CLAIM LAND.
Hard Fight for Quarter Section in
South Dakota,


The hearing in one of the most in
teresting land contests ever before the
United States land Offices in South
Dakota has just been concluded in the
federal land office at Gregory, and
the register and receiver now have
the case under Amusement. A very
valuable quarter section of land in the
coded portion of the Rosebud Indian
reservation is involved. The testimony
offered in the case is very voluminous,
filling about 800 typewriter pages.
The quarter section C160 acres) is
claimed by three different men, the
case being entitled Brees VS.. Holton
and Searls VS.. Holton. In view of the
unusual circumstances the decision of
the land officers is being eagerly
awaited No matter what the deci-
sion is, it is believed the losers will
carry the case to the commissioner
of h general land office, and thai it
finally will be taken to the secretary
of the interior before one of the three
claimants is left in undisputed pos
session of the tract.

CANNOT BE PROSECUTED.
Thief Who Stole $751; 900 from Uncle

Thief Who Stole $173,OOO from Uncle
Sam is Now Immune.
The thief who stole $173,0OO from
the Chicago subtreasury on February
Is, 1907, is now immune from Grim
inal prosecution, the statute Of limita-
having expired Friday. The only
Of the government now is to
locate the thief and institute civil ac-
ton to Gov the money.
When the federal grand jury ad-
journed Friday without having
brought an Indictment against anyone
for h theft, secret service men
watched telegraph and telephone Of
sfices in vain for the flash which
would tell h thief Of his immunity,
but none was located.
Shortly before the theft in Chicago
an equally mysterious theft occurred
at the st. Louis ~subtreasury, when
$4,000 was stolen. The thief in this
case has never been apprehended.

Poverty Follows High Prices.

Effects of the increased cost Of liv-
ing upon the working classes in New
York are shown in the largely expand
ed number Of applications to the city
for aid
The rising tide of inability to make
Income keep pace with living expenses
is indicated in the fact that during the
last twelve months more than 10000
persons sought relief from the charl-
ties department, an increase OF more
than so per cent in five years. There
were 1896 applications in 1904.
In seven years the number Of per-
sons seeking shelter in the city lodg-
ing house has augmented until last
year 102,400 persons applied, an in
crease of more than 100 per cent for
the period. From 112 in 1906 the daily
average has risen in three years to 2Sl.
Suicides have increased nearly so
per cent from 1904 to 1909.

AT CHERRY.
Top Boss Shot Down While Recover
ing Bodies.

An attempt to as%sasinate one Of the
st. Paul company's bosses added to
the tragedy of Cherry's mine disaster
Friday. A dismissed employe, step
ping up behind Charles Atherton,
as the top boss, whipped out
4 revolver and crying, ITO pay you
back" fred three shots. Anterior
fell, probably fatally wounded.
The shooting occurred in the midst
of h work OF recovering the III bod
les entombed in the mine since the
fatal fire of November 13. Eleven bod
les had been brought up. Atherton
was standing at his post at the mouth
Of the shaft and was working hero
lcally to get the bodies up.
About him stood a number Of wild
ows and orphans, all eager to learn
whether the next lift OF the hoist
would bring up their dead.
Suddenly the shots were fired in
rapid succession and a man dashed
wildly from the crowd. In the o
fusion it was whispered that w. w.
Taylor, of Chicago, general superin-
Of the company's mine. who
had just gone down the shaft, was
h victim. Eut a moment later Ath-
erton was found lying on the ground.
A hundred enraged miners, headed
by Sheriff Skoglund, started down the
tracks after the would be
assassin, while the crowd behind shout
Lynch him!" Shoot him."
The fugitive was captured in the
main street of the town, the revolver
still in his hand. He gave his name
as Peter Brown, but was later identi-
fed as Melas Manditch. He said he
shot Atherton because he had been
efused a job, and had been looking
for James Steele, superintendent of
the company's mine here and at Gran
Vile. Ill.

One side of the late Prof. Lombro-
SOS character little known to outsiders
made him adored by his children, es-
pecially his two daughters, who looked
after him as though he were a child.
His two greatest domestic character
istics were disregard of appearances
and Observation-Disclosures, says a London
letter to the New York Sun. When
he was invited out in the evening it
was the work of two or three days to
get him keyed up to putting On his
dress clothes, and even then he was
capable of weakening at h last mo-
ment and going out just as he hap
pened to find himself.
Once when going to Rome he lost
his overcoat, but was not in the least
discouraged, as he entered the first
shop of ready.made clothing and
bought the top-most warm thing which
came to hand without even looking at
it. 1t proved to be a long, bright,
b~ottle-green cloak, which came down
to his heels and in which he looked.

him. Naturally when he Travelled the
consequences for his pocket were dis
astrous. He Invariably arrived home
without a penny, no matter how much
he had taken with him, having either
lost it or had it stolen.

willing to go to work as soon as the
properties are opened. The managers
assert that they intend to operate, and
that If sufficient men cannot be Sc
