MEAT PRICES GO IP
Packing Strike Has Caused an
Advance—Talk of Arbitra-
tion- Three Plants Open-
Others May Resume.
PACKING STIIIKE SITUATION.
Kansas City, July 13.—Meat prices
have advanced in Kansas City and in
nearly all of the other large cities.
The Armour and Fowler and Swift
packing houses are killing on a very
small scale.
Ths central body of the unions in
Chicago is discussing the possibility
of arbitration tvs a means of settling
the strike.
The packers generally are getting
ready to resume with non-union labor.
The foregoing states briefly the con-
dition of the packing house strike to-
day. The advance in inept prices was
not unexpected. In Kansas City the
packers have advanced prices on only
a few classes of fresh meat, but unless
there shall be a change in the situa-
tion by tomorrow greater advances
may be expected. The packers say
their supply of fresh meat is small
and will only last a few days unless
replenished and that all of them have
trade that must be protected. They
have plenty of ham and bacon and
those who don’t want to pay the high
prices for beef will have a chance to
live on cured pork products for a few
days, possibly a few weeks.
Another thing that will discommode
the meat buyer is the fact that it won’t
be long before he will have to buy
only such fresh meat as he can get
He won’t have much choice. He may
have to eat liver when he wants por-
terhouse, and he may be compelled to
content himself with Texas beef, grass
fed, when he wants corn fed Kansas
beef. But such inconveniences come
in a time of strike and the packers
think they will be doing well to fur-
nish any kind of fresh meat. They
also say that the strike came in a good
time for the people, as beef is less
used in hot weather than at any other
time in the year
FARMERS’ INSTITUTE.
There will be a two days meeting ot
the Lincoln County Farmers’ institute
at the court house in Chandler on July
22d and 23d, when some interesting
papers will be read and matters of

tary Thoburn of the territorial board
of agriculture will be present and a
good attendance of local talent is
promised. J. S. Newt'y,

FIGHTING BOLL WEEVIL
There should be no confusion in the
minds of the cotton growers concern-
ing the remedies now before them sug-
gested and recommended for treatment
of the weevil. First, there are the
cultural methods which have been
thoroughly tested by progressive cot-
ton farmers in the boll weevil district
for years, recommended and urged by
the Texas Oottou convention and in-
dorsed by the United States depart-
ment of agriculture and its lecturers twenty-one members

FRIGHTFUL COLLISION
Twenty-One People Killed and
More Than Three Score
Injured — A Misplaced
Switch the Cause.
Chicago, July 13. — This evening
of the Sunday
of Doremus Congregational
church at 31st and Butler streets went
the
multiplication of the weevil by fre-
quent plowing to knock the weevil
from the stalk, covering many of them,
thus causing the death of a per cent-
age of the pest.
The use of Paris green as a poison j
has been urged through these col-
umns, while the crop is young and
tender and before squares begin to
form freely. This positively reduces
the spring crop of boll weevils aud
will therefore save much early cotton
from the ravages of the pest. This is
a valuable aid to cultural met.iods
We have reports also indorsing use)
of machines. They are driven over
the cotton and catch a Urge per cent
of the wetjvil. These are being used
successfully in a number of counties
infested by weevil. We have not rec-
ommended nor do we indorse the use
of lights in the field for trapping wee-
vli at night, as it is a well established ,
fact that the pest is but slightly tt-
tracted to lights and usually the
sects caught in this way are quite as
beneficial to the cotton as others j
caught are destructive —Farm and ,

mostly children, members of the same
Sunday school, wete maimed, and
mangled at the same time.
The carnage occurred in a collision
on the tracks of the Chicago and East-
ern Illinois railroad between Chicago
Heights and Glenwood, 25 miles from
Chicago. Today was the annual pic-
nic of the Sunday school and, as in
former years, hundreds of the child-
ren with their parents and friends had
gone to the picnic grounds at Motu-
ence, 111., for the day. The picnic
was over and the train was on the re-
turn to Chicago when the accident oc-
curred.
The picnic train was on the right-
hand track coming nortli and the
freight was on the left track. A mis-
placed switch threw the picnic train
over on the left track and before the ;
engineer could apply the brakes it ran j
at 40 miles an hour into the rear of j

cries of "Banzai,” meeting the hail

Guthrie, July 13.—The disposition
on the part of Oklahoma people to go
to the Rosebud opening is not unex-
preted. The people of Oklahoma are
essentially of the pioneer type. But

opened, and the registration there is
going to be far greater than it was at
El Reno, while the number of claims
will be less. The Rosebud agency
and reservaiion is in the midst of a
populous country and every inhabit-
general govei nment. Ralston is on i
the Arkansas river and this station is
expected to accommodate the cattle
owners of the Osage nation as well as
those of Pawnee county.
Secretary Morris said that it was
now an established fact that dipping
would prevent the spread of tick fever
and he thought this discovery was go-
ing to do the big empire of Texas
more good than any of the other states.
He said that when the Panama canal
is built the gulf ports will become of
more importance and while Texas
could dip her castle and ship them to
all the northern markets and packing
centers without harm that the north
could not ship cattle to Texas for the
reason that they would be certain to
get the tick fever.
CONVICT ESCAPES.
Leavenworth, Kan., July 13.—Je-
rome B. Macklin, an Oklahoma pris-
oner, escaped from the Kansas peni-
tentiary this morning. He was with
the brickyard gang going out to
work when he dodged under a box car
j and ran to a clump of trees. The
guard could not follow him promptly
»s he had to watch the others Mack-
I lin was sent in from Blaine county,
Okla , last November to serve a ten-
year sentence. A reward of $50 will
be paid for his capture.

The number of people who are going j

“Our people do not seem to fully!
appreciate the situation,” said Mr.
Smith. “.There is a regiment of l>eo-
pte on the ground now registering that
would make the chance of the individ-

El Reno. And the registration will
have reached a stage, before it shall
close, that will make a man's chance
less than one in one hundred."
