AS to the meaning of the term AN

minds Of people, when they hear the term
spoken Of by itself Perhaps the most
commonly accepted meaning Of the term
that of murderous. dangerous per

$4,000 BUTTER
SEIZURE UPSETS
CHICAGO MARKET.
142-Ton Confiscation Of
Coffee Adds to Panic;
Hogs Factor.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-With the seizure
Of 800 tubs Of butter-S3, $50 pounds
valued at S5O,000-in the government s
first Chicago drive to combat the cost
of living. prices of all commodities
dealt in on the board of trade and food
stuffs handled in the produce market
took exciting tumbles.
The main reason advanced for the
collapse in value on grains and provl-
sions was the rapid development Of the
government measures to decrease the
cost Of food and other prime essentials.
The chief results on the board Of trade
at the finish Of the days trading, com
pared with "a hours before, were rs
to SO, cents bushel setback for corn,
2a to 3ss cents decline in oats and
drop of 80 cents to 1886 in provisions
Big Produce Drops.
There was decline of several COM
modities in the produce market.
A further decline Of % cents bush
el in the cheapest grades of early ONO
potatoes. 25 cent drop in the price
Of cabbage. and a falling off in the
price Of highest grade yellow onions oc-
CURED in the vegetable market. Prices
of green corn. peaches, lemons and
watermeions also were on the decline,
while beets. carrots and oranges ad-
vanced slightly.
Butter SeiZeU IN SItIpHtHt
The seizure Of the butter was made
under condemnation proceedings brot by
the government. The butter will be held
until further investigation Of alleged
boarding and profiteerings.
Nearly half of the butter was owned
by G., H. Weaver Il CO., Chicago cold
storage warehouse concern Three humid
red of the tubs seized were in q car
consigned from st. Paul to Pittsburgh.
The owner of this consignment was not
revealed.
Law Brings Climax to Trade.
The climax shaking the confidence Of
holders of grain and provisions came
when seizures of food staples were made.
This was not until the last hour Of the
session of the board Of trade. Previously
quotations had undegone a severe con-
fiuuous decline from the outset of the
DAYS trading. but the weakness of the
markets, altho acute, did not become
radical until the governments raiding
on produce stocks here was an ac-
compished fact.
Numerous other influences had com
bined to make the final crash more en-
phatic. The initial disturbance had it's
origin in the hog market. Arrivals Of
hogs here from the country had been
suddenly more than trebled and hog
quotations had dropped, in some in
stances as much as 1.J0 hundred-l

and occupied by him and Others
collided with a pole near the E. Q.
HARDWOOD place. a few miles up the
river from the Kennebec bridge. The
men II the auto and also others II a
second auto. had left the pulp WOOD
mill a, kennebec. where they are
employed. and were coming home
from work The details Of the affair
az learned were somewhat vague.
but il u said that the two cars were
racing and that the Pouiin car
which il a new one left the road at
the point mentioned above. and COL
lided with a pole. with the result
that the car was demolished and the
members Of the chr thrown out. One
man was reported to have been
scratched and bruised 20 some ex-
tent but the others escaped without
injury. One report states that the
driver Of the Poulin car lost control
Of It. while another report says that
his car was run into by the second
car, but whatever the case. it was
a wonder that some Of the men were
not killed.
