    BEEF INTERESTS
GIGANTIC MERGER WITH MIL
LIONS OF CAPITAL.
PACKERS WILL ORCANIZE FIRST
Afterward the Same Firms Will
Amalgamate the Yards In Omaha,
Kansas City, Chicago, St. Joseph,
St. Louis and Other Places.
CHICAGO—The Record-Herald on
Friday says: Two big consolidations
are planned by beef interests. The
packers will combine first and then
effect a merger of all the stock yards
in the country.
With the exception of the Chicago
stock yards, which are controlled In
Boston, all the properties involved
are owned and controlled by the own
ers of the principal beef packing in
terests.
The different yards that will prob
ably be included in the deal, aside
from the Chicago yards, are those at
South Omaha, Kansas City, East 3t.
Louis, St. Joseph, Fort Worth and
Sioux City.
The Armour interest Is probably
the largest In the Kansas City yards.
The Armours, Swift and Morris con
trol the East St. Louis yards, the
Swifts own the St. Joseph yards, the
Armours and Swifts own the Fort
Worth yards, the Armours, Swifts and
Cudahys control the Omaha yards and
the Swifts control at Sioux City.
While the control of the Chicago
yards Is held In Boston, the Chicago
packers have large holdings of the
stock also and their recommendations
would undoubtedly have great weight
with the eastern capitalists.
The plan for consolidating the vari
ous stock yards has not progressed
as yet to a point where the amount
of stock required has been more than
discussed. It would undoubtedly run
well to $100,000,000, exclusive ol
the amount required for the packing
companies’ combination, which Is said
to be $500,000,000.
THANKSGIVING.
.’resident Proclaims November 27 as
the Time.
WASHINGTON.—President Roose
velt on Wednesday issued his procla
mation designating Thursday, Novem
ber 27, as a day of thanksgiving. Tho
proclamation is as follows:
According to tho yearly custom of
our people it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint a day of fes
tival and thanksgiving to God.
s Over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth
and during, that time we have had
on the whole more to bo thankful for
than has fallen to the lot of any other
people.
' Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed
away. Each has had to bear Its
peculiar burdens, each to face Its
special crisis, and each has known
years of grim trial, when the
country was menaced by malice,
domestic or foreign levy, when the
hand of the Lord was heavy upon It in
drouth or flood pestilence, when in
bodily distress and anguish of soul
it paid the penalty of folly and a
forward heart.
Nevertheless, decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and upward;
we now abundantly enjoy material well
being, and under the favor of the Most
High we are striving earnestly to
achieve moral and spiritual uplifting.
The year that has Just closed has
been one of peace and of overflowing
plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed
greater prosperity than we are now en
joying. For this we render heartfelt
and solemn thanks to the Giver of
Good, and we seek to praise Him not
by words only, but by deeds, by the
• .way In which we do our duty to our
selves and to our fellow men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose
velt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 27th of
the coming November, and do recom
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary occu
pations and in their several homes and
places of worship render thanks unto
Almighty God for the manifold bless
ings of the last year.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
29th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1902, and of the independence
of the United States the 127th.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
By the President;
JOHN HAY.
(Seal.) Secretary of State.

VISIT THE COAL MINES.
Arbitration Commission Begins Tour
to Examine Anthracite Region.
SCRANTON, Pa.—The seven com
missioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to adjust the differences
existing between the anthracite mine
workers and their employe" on Thurs
day made a tour of the extreme upper
coal field and saw every step taken
in the production of coal from the
time it is blasted to the point where
it is sent to market.
The arbitrators had an interesting
day and returned to theic hotel at
night, grimy from coal dust and tired
after eight busy hours. They had
to endure many discomforts, making
their way through wet places in the
mines, almost crawling along some of
the gangways and passing through
clouds of coal dust in the breakers.
Notwithstanding this their eagerness
for information was not diminished
and they expect to put in another
hard day’s work in the same manner.
“Every suit that has been brought,”
he said, “has been successful under
this section.” He said ho would curb
trusts, not destroy them.
The tariff will have to be revived,
he said, again and again and again.
In conclusion Senator Hoar dis
cussed strikes, saying that to him, if
capital combined he could not see
why labor could not also combine.
“I believe the sympathy of all true
! Americans,” he said, "is on the side
of labor and its attempt to better its
condition. Capital end wealth will in
the end take care of themselves.”
EVILS OF TRUSTS.
Eight of Them Named by Hoar of
Massachusetts.
BOSTON.—Senator Hoar, speaking
here Monday night, said:
The evils of the trust are:
First—Destruction of competition.
Second—The management of Indus
tries by absent capital.
Third—Destruction of local public
spirit.
Fourth—Fraudulent capitalization.
Fifth—Secrecy.
Sixth—Management for the private
benefit of the officers.
Seventh—The power to corrupt elec*
tlons and in some cases to corrupt
courts.
Blghth—Indifference to public sent
iment.
If the first, fourth and fifth can be
cured the cure of others, in my opin
ion, will follow.
Now, Is It not the duty of wise
statesmanship to go slowly and care
fully In this matter so that we cure
or prevent the evil without sacrificing
what Is good?
Senator Hoar then reviewed the
Sherman anti-trust laws, and claimed
that he himself had Inserted In the
bill the section declaring any combin
ation or trust which restricts trade
to be illegal.
ARIZONA SEEKS STATEHOOD.
Governor Brodle Files His Showing
at National Capital.
WASHINGTON—Governor Brodle
of Arizona, In his usual report, renews
the plea for statehood and makes the
following explanation:
Under the Leland-Hansbrough act
the claims of Arizona for government
aid In Irrigation to be fully carried
out and extended so as to Inaugurate
in the territory the first of the great
irrigation systems under that action,
action to rejuvenate the depleted for
est area; Increases In school facili
ties; in the salary of the governor;
of the appropriation for the Arizona
national guard; appropriation to Im
prove the Colorado river and construct
a levee from Yuma to the Mexican
line; to prevent the overflow of cul
tivated land by the annual freshets;
and appropriations for purchasing
sites and erectlngs In Arizona. The
governor places the total taxable prop
erty of the territory at $39,083,178.
AMERICA ANSWERS COLOMBIA.
Deals with Question of Sovereignty
of Isthmus.
WASHINGTON—It was learned
Tuesday that a prompt answer had
been made to the latest Colombian
note respecting the Panama canal
treaty which was transmitted on Mon
day. Its nature was not divulged, but
the presumption is that it deals al
most. entirely with Colombia's repre
sentations regarding the sovereignty
of the isthmus. The Colombians feel
their rights have been seriously in
vaded by the acts of Commander
McLean and Admiral Casey in pre
venting the prompt movement of
troops across the railroad. The state
department is anxious that a speedy
settlement be reached in order to fa
cilitate the completion of the Panama
canal treaty.
Kruger Wants to Go Home.
BRUSSELS—It is asserted here
that Mr. Kruger has abandoned his

j NEBRASKA IN GENERAL I
SHOOTING IS A MYSTERY.
Victim Refuses to Tell How the Injury
Was Received.
SILVER CREEK.—Monday after
noon a man -was found at the coal
house west of town yelling for dear
life. He was taken in charge and on
examination was found to have been
shot directly under the left shoulder
blade. The man is about 30 years of
age, gives his name as James J. Fran
cis, says he is from Baltimore, but
refuses to talk further.
Three hours after the shooting a
man boarded an eastbound freight
west of town and persons seeing him
say he answers the description of the
man who was with Francis. The doc
tor gives little hopes of the wounded
man’s recovery.
COLUMBUS.—Chief of Police Shack
received a description of a man wanted
at Silver Creek and within twenty
minutes had his man in jail. He was
afterwards sweated by Sheriff Burnes,
but absolutely refused to say a word.
When searched he had a new’ Smith
& Wesson 3S-caliber revolver and a
bottle of some kind of acid. Sheriff
Byrnes says he is confident that this
man and the one who was shot are
both wanted for postofflce robbery at
Belgrade. The descriptions tally ex
actly. The Merrick county officers
will be after the man. He stands per
fectly dumb before all questioners and
if he has a voice the officers have had
no evidence of it
LARGE IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Propose to Build a Ditch One Hun
dred and Fifty Miles Long.
LINCOLN—One of the largest Irri
gation projects conceived in Nebraska
is involved in a hearing begun be
fore State Engineer Adna Dobson, be
ing the matter of a protest filed by
the Farmers' Canal company and the
Farmers’ Irrigation District against
the application of William Frank. Mr.
Frank's application for water from the
North Platte river in Scotts Bluff
county was filed last April and the
Irrigation district filed one subsequent
to that date, but the real contest dates
back five or ten years. Bonds to the
amount of $400,000 were once voted
by the irrigation district, but they
have never been disposed of. The
Farmers’ Canal company built twenty
one miles of what was intended to
be an extensive line of ditches and
then stopped work. Now two contend
ing companies desire to complete the
original plan. Mr. Frank proposes to
build a ditch 150 miles long, at an
estimated cost of $580,000. The dis
trict expected to build eighty miles
with the $400,000 bonds voted. Rob
ert Walker succeeded to the rights of
the Farmers’ Bond company. He has
sold his rights to William Frank, who
has associated with him H. G. Leav
itt of the Ames Sugar company. They
are admitted to have a prior claim,
dating from 1887, but the other side
alleges that these rights have been
abandoned.
LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDER.
Anton Christenson Must Pay Heavy
Penalty for Killing His Wife.
OMAHA.—The solemn hush that at
tended the sentencing on Monday aft
ernoon of Anton Christenson to spend
all the rest of his days behind prison
walls was broken by the quick, ve
hement clapping of the sister of the
wife whom he had murdered. Never
was applause less expected and never
has it been more startling to those
Who heard it. The little group about
the condemned man had been breath
less as the judge pronounced his blast
ing words, and shuddered to hear that
sound of exultation which is so rare in
court rooms, even when the pro
nouncement is one of hope instead of
withering doom. The prisoner ut
tered not a sound, but bowed beneath
the blow, meekly and with all hope
gone. Christenson shot and killed his
wife last August.
Wolves Attack Hogs.
TECUMSEH.—For many years
Johnson county farmers have been
troubled but little with wolves,, but
this is not the experience of W. P.
McCoy, who lives northeast of this
city. His herd of hogs has been pest
ered with the animals considerably of
late. One evening recently Mr. McCoy
heard a disturbance at his hog pen,
and upon going out found two big
wolves attacking an old porker. Be
fore Mr. McCoy succeeded in driving
them off they had wounded the hog
to the extent that be ^ied soon after.
