Chicago Eliminates Measures
and Expects Price Reduc-
ton to Result.

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-Close upon the
enactment Of the anti.nOise ordinance
comes another blow to the hucksters
and the high cost OF living. at least
in 10 far as vegetables and fruits are
concerned. has been checked in it's
skyward flight. The ordinance re-
quirinE the sale Of fruits and vegeta-
bles by weight instead OF measure. has
gone into effect, and has rung the
death knell Of the old peck measure
Of delusive capacity, 30 dear to the
heart OF peddlers. The act enabling
tho passage Of the ordinance was in
troduced in the legislature by Charles
A. Nelson. The new ordinance, it is
declared. will result in reducing the
price Of vegetables and fruits 20 per
cent to the consumer.
Twenty deputy inspectors were sent
out from the office Of city sealer Peter
thinner yesterday, to see that the law
WAS complied with and that all groc.
erymen and peddlers were provided
with scales instead OF the old wooded
measure on which the grocery clerk
his fingers while mentally measuring
the boss profits.
At the time that the ordinance was
passed most of the pruotests received
were from the peddlers, the grocers
having already substituted, in many
Instances. the scales for the old wood
en- measures. Practically the only
ones affected yesterday were about
one thousand hucksters.
"A pound is a pound, but a peck is
as much as the grocer feels like CIV
Ing" said one housewife. who was pur'
chasing her weeks supply Of potatoes
from q south side grocer. "When
they used to use the peck measure
they could fill 1t bromming full, OF
Just even with the rim. according to
how they felt.
sometimes when the clerk would
have q particular grudge against you
he could slip an extra large potato In
to the bottom OF the measure in such
4 way that 1t would fill as much space
as would have been taken by half q
dozen good sized potatoes"
Groccrs everywhere spoke In favor
Of the scales as a just method OF sell
ing. and city sealer thinner was loud
in his praise of the new law.
II am convinced that the purchaser
will get more for his money every
time" he said. Most Of the grocers
have changed to the scales already. Sc
thu ordinance will not cause many OF
! change"

1000 HORSES KILLED
By DISEASE IN KANSAS
Estimated That Money Loss VIII
Reach a Half Million Dollars
Stables Are Depleted.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. More than
four thousand horses have died In
western Kansas since the mysterious
disease broke out in that section OF
the state. and it is estimated that the
money loss is around half a million
dollars.
The great mortality among the
in that section of the state, hundreds
of farmers being left without the ami
mails to do necessary fall work In the
fields. Because Of the practical GER
tainty that new horses would catch
the disease and die, the farmers are
afraid to buy other animals. Mean
time fall crops are going unharvested
and very little blowing or planting OF
spring wheat is being done.
The plague has now come as far
east as Riley county, four cases being
reported near Manhattan. AS soon as
these cases became known the army
veterinarians at Fort Riley promptly
established quarantine, prohibiting
the bringing of any horse on the mill
tary reservation. and prohibiting NOV
ers from camping along the roads
leading through the reservation.
There appears to be no let up II
the plague. Forty veterinarians EN-
ployed by the state and the Kansas
AGRICULTURAL college, besides d dozeI
men living in the infected counties
are working, and reports received
from them by J. II. Mercer, state liv'
stock commissioner, showed neithe
cures nor abatement In the spread o
the disease.

this demand.
REGARD Situation Exaggerated.
General Steever, in command OF the
American forces along the border
made no report of additional disturb
ances by Mexican rebels. For this
reason officials of the war department
are inclined to consider as exaggerat-
ed dispatches stating that rebels nave
| threatened to attack Arizona City ana
Douglas. and that women and children
are being rushed to points of safety
while the male citizens are arm1ng
themselves to repel invasion and TO
prevent a massacre.
It Is stated at the war department
that General Steever has sufticent
number Of men at these places &c
drive back into Mexico any OF the
rebel bands now operating within
striking distance of either Arizona
City of Douglas and no Information
of the concentration of these Dands
has been received. Less concern as te
the safety of Americans along the
border will be felt by the war depart
ment, however. with the arrival OF TN
