Farmers cannot get to the consumer any

In this connection we call attention 80
a letter from Joseph Waiting of Linton
which recently appeared in the Indiana
Farmer. In taking as his text the sug-
gestion Of Patrick Cudahy. the eminent
packer that the farmer would he tho

"he has been getting the best of it right

Let's look into the matter little.
The farmer has a hog to sell. it weighs
2io pounds: at present prices it will bring
II l-2 cents on the local market. That
makes SIS Then We will count forty
pounds oiral, leaving two hundred pounds
of meat that the consumer pays twenty
cents for. That makes the consumer pay
so for the s1s hog. Now who Is get

ting nothing that is not justly due him.
and il Is the first time he ever got wha t

II Is fair TO ask what became of the

tho farmer got for the hog and the $4l
which the consumer paid for the meat.
The question is not whether the farmers
are getting good prices, for that is not
disputed. The question is whether these

Thinks Business Will Be Better
After Election Turmoil

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-George j.
Gould returned yesterday on board the
Kron princessin Cecilie.
Conditions abroad are pretty good,
Mr.. Gould said. Italy is going ahead
fast, her manufacturing is progressing
and her educational work getting bet
ter all the time. In fact, the govern
ment generally is making rapid strides
forward. .,
1.-THE Germans, too, are prosperous.
'What do you think of the Maine
election results?"
''They do not surprise me. believe
the people are not quite satisfied with
the tariff and want a change. There
has been a little slowing up in busi-
ness on account of the political tur-
moil, but after the elections business
will pick up, no matter which party
wins.
RAILROAD expenses are now nigh pc
cause of the high cost of material ana
the higher wage scale. Business has
been a bit flat on the stock exchange,

HIGH SIMIAN SOCIETY
SNUBS SIAMESE MONKEY
Menagerie Department of Bar
mum & Bailey Circus Is
Fascinating

The menagerie department of the
Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth, which comes here next TUESDAY
and Wednesday, enjoys, in ADDITION 10
its entertaining features, a wealth. OF
fun and humor. The monkey cage holds
a fascination for many. There Is
Siamese monkey in a cage with several
others who for some reason will have
nothing to do with him. This ostraclsm
exasperated the Siamese,' and when
ever he got a chance he would grap
one of the others by the tail, drag him
all over the high perches, and drop MS
victim with a dull thud.
John Patterson, who has charge OF
the geological department, is the owner
of a fine watch dog which is on friend
ly terms with many of the animals.
Patterson has another pet, large
spider monkey, so tame that he Is
allowed the freedom Of the menagerie,
except at exhibition hour. Zulu" the
monkey, takes a delight in teasing the
dog. AS soon as the dog settles HIM
self for a doze the monkey will steal
nm and give the CANNES tail vicious
tug. OF course the dog will go for her,
but she will simply wait till he gets
close enough, then leap over his head'
and from behind give his tail another
pull.
There is another monkey, of the ba-
boon species, that at times VIII Idhe
hold of a dish in which her food is
served and put it on her head, as II IL
were a hat. Thus adorned, she pro-
yokes roars of laughter, to her evident
gratification, from the crowd around
her cage. There is another baboon In
Mr.. Patterson's collection which got
good and even" with one of the care
takers who had penchant for teasing
the baboon. Seeing the caretaker ap-
preaching, the baboon poured some wa
ter into a hole in the ground, mixing II
with earth so as to make mud. When
his enemy came up he splashed tne
muddy water on the caretakers UNI
form. For a long time after TINS
every time the animal saw the care
taker he INDUCED in what had every
appearance of being laughter.
The elephants have decided sense
of humor, or signs of one, anyway, ana
MANY are the amusing capers they in
dulge in between exhibition hours.
There are forty of these mammoth
nachyderms with the Barnum and Bal
lev Collection, two of which are said
TO be the rarest and most costly in the
world. They have huge umbrella
shaped ears, which cover nearly halr
their bodies One of them is deeply
attached to Boston, the baby elephant
of the group, and is never quiet when
Boston is out of her sight.
The geological department or the Bar
mum and Bailey Greatest snow on
Earth is, it is said, the largest coliec-
tion Of rare animals in the world.

AUDITOR KEPT BUSY BY
THE ELECTION OFFICIALS
Old Soldiers BeSiege County Of
flee with Pension VouCh-
erS in Hand

With hundreds of old soldiers at
tending to their pension affairs at the
county clerks Office and the 1900 cleo
tion officers seeking the county audi
tor for orders for cash for the work at
the primaries August 16, the court
house has been crowded in the last
few days.
The boys in blue have been in line
for several days at the Office of the
county clerk attending to the swearing
to their vouchers and telling tales of
the days of 81 while they stood in
line.
AS an odd contrast to the line of
veterans, many of whom were on
crutches and all of whom showed the
effect of age, though their patriotism
is undminished, was the line of cleo
tion officers
AS soon as they could do SO, they
sought the office of the county audi
tor to obtain the certification of their
demands for their money, standing in
line for hours in order to accomplish
their purpose.
They made considerable extra work
for Peter Reel, the elevator operator,
who declares that he has the strong
est pulp in the country when it comes
to work. Peter did not object to car
rying the men who attended to the
legality of the voting, by any means,
but he found 1t necessary to take a
few extra "chaws" of tobacco now and
then in order to sustain him in the
strenuous work of lifting the political
lights to the floor upon which the
auditors office is located
Most of the men who were engaged
at the polls August 16 have obtained
their warrants now, but a few still
stray in and collect their pay from
the county.

HILL STREET TUNNEL
DAMAGE WAIVERS FILED
Property Owners Petition for
Asphalt Pavement and
Storm Sewers

Waivers of damages for a tunnel in
Hill street, from First to Temple, were
filed with the board of public works
yesterday in a petition asking for the
Improvement of Hill street between
these points. The petition was re-
ferred to the city engineer to be
checked up.
If the engineer finds that the 'front.'
age represented is correct, steps will
Immediately be taken to construct a
tunnel to join a tunnel of the Los
AngeIes-Pacific railway. When the
railway tunnel was built the east wall
was made a party wall, and the city
arranged to pay its share of the cost
as soon as the city's tunnel was built.
Proceedings for the construction OF
this tunnel were begun several years
ago, but have been held UP awaiting
the waivers Of damages. Deep cuts
must be made in front of some of the
property, and the property owners
would be entitled to collect damages
from. the city. But in their petition
they have waived this right In addi-
tion to the tunnel, they ask that the
street be paved with asphalt, and that
storm sewers be constructed.

FIVE PROTEST AGAINST
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
Claim Council Refused to Hear
About Agricultural Park

Five protestants who live in the new
assessment district fixed by the councll
for the condemnation of land on the
south side of Agricultural park visited
Mayor Alexander yesterday to protest
against the proceedings. They de-
clared the council had not given them
q fair show the day before They sald
that when they tried to protest before
the council some of the members IN
terrupted them with questions to such
an extent that they did not have a
chance to explain their position.
All but one considered the assess
ment district too small. This district
is from Main to the west city limits
and from jefferson to Manchester. Ihe
mayor called their attention to the fact
that this was nearly two miles by four
and a good sized district.
He said that he considered some one
had blundered in making five assess
ment districts for the condemnation or
Agricultural park property, but as
sured the protestants they would have
a chance to be heard when the mat
ter reaches him If the council does
not give them the opportunity.
"I do not believe the council cut
YOU off Intentionally, and I am sure II
will give you a chance to be heard,

THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL

Judge Williams Sentences W. ].
GIenon to Hard Labor

Thirty days in the city Jail at hard
labor was the punishment meted out
to w. j. Glenon by Police Judge VIII
liams yesterday for "mashing"
1t appears from the testimony that
Glenon approached Mrs. Emma Bruce,
wife of a mail carrier, at First street
and Central avenue, where she was
waiting for her husband Tuesday
night and greeted her with Hello,
kid, where you goin'?" She ignored the
remark and turned to walk away from
him when he continued his attentions.
Mrs. Bruce's husband had Glenon ar
rested.
Glenon denied having insulted Mrs.
Bruce and called man to testify that
he had said nothing.
"I think your story is a deliberate
lie," said Judge Williams at the con-
clusion of the testimony, and with
that he sent Glenon to Jail for the
next month to repent at his leisure.

WILL REVIVE ORDINANCE
TO WIDEN MAPLE AVENUE

An ordinance of intention to widen
Maple avenue from sixty to eighty feet
between Ninth and Adams streets, filed
several years ago by the former council,
is to be taken from the files and adopt
ed, if the present council follows the
recommendation of the city engineer.
A petition for the widening, bearing
nearly a majority Of the frontage, was
presented in 1907, and acting on this
petition the city engineer spent nearly
5000 in preliminary work. But when
it reached the council it was filed with
out giving the interested property own
ers a chance to say whether they want

that this ordinance be again taken up
and the board will transmit his recon-
1nendation to the council.
