Maine Indians.
From the Argonaut.

From the Argonaut.
few tribes of American Indians are
not dying. though their numbers are
small in comparison with their probable
one time strength.
Two OF these tribes live in Maine. In
1920 by the census, there were $40 Passa-
Indians. and last year there
were 800 Penobscots; now, more than
ninety years later. there are 397. Both
maintain their tribal conditions, and the
Penobscots. at least. still dwell on the
same village site that their forefathers
occupied

SEE NO PRESENT RELIEF
Meat Prices MAJ Remain High Until
January Because of Scarcity
of Cornfed Stock

Milwaukee.-No relief for the
present high prices of meats can be
seen by local meat dealers, at least
not until after the crops are being
fed to stock. which date dealers put
at Jan. 1. Until then, say the meat
men, prices may soar indefinitely, for
the scarcity of prime cornfed stock is
acknowledged to be acute in Milwau-
kee and in other cities.
There is some difference of opinion
among the dealers as to the exact
cause Of the raise in prices, and there
is u considerable variance in the
prices quoted by dealers in different
parts OF the city. Michael Cudahy
Of the Cudahy Packing company said
that as rule the prices were the
same as a month ago, but that in one
or two cases meats had gone up, and
in others had been reduced slightly.
Beef is the same as a month ago, -
said Mr.. Cudahy, with the better
grades slightly higher. There has
been a little raise in the price of
pork, about Z cents a pound. Lamb
is ? cents cheaper than it was then,
while veal is 2 cents higher. Bacon
is about the same, with the better
grades running from IL to 2 cents
a pound higher.
THE housewife does not realize
the fact, however, that although the
prices this year are high, in many
cases, they are cheaper than year
ago.

BROKER COMMITS SUICIDE
Circumstances Surrounding Death OF
Edward y. Cwyer Are a Puzzle
to the Police.

Janesville.-E. J. DWyer, a mem
Der of the Chicago board of trade
ten years ago, was found dead in the
rear of a freight house. A bullet
wound and other circumstances indi-
Gated that he had taken his own life.
This theory is strengthened by a
story told here by James Schaller, a
jockey, who said he had taken din
ner with Dwyer in a Chicago. cafe.
Dryer spent his money freely al
though never knew him to plunge
on horse race. He must have spent
the most of $50 on the dinner and
wine he bought when I was his guest.
He remarked to me that his money
was all gone, that he was through
and that he was going to Wisconsin
to make an end of it
When Dryers body was found
there was only twelve cents in his
pockets. A few years ago he could
draw his check for thousands Of dol
lars. The corpse was found in a sit
ting posture with back and head
against the screen door and was first
noticed by Mrs. Artlip, mistress of
the house, as she opened the back
door.
Thinking that it was merely
drunken man on the steps she teIe-
phoned one of the boarders to see
that he was removed. On his arrival
IN response to her call he at once no
ticed that the supposed drunken man
was a corpse Blood was despatched
over his neck cloth and clothes, from
a wound in his face, and between his
outstretched legs was a pool of con-
gealed blood.
