The senate committee investigating
the dressed-beef combine, continued its
work at Kin City; the teatunoiiy giv
en before them is interesting to all who
are studying the subject with reference
to its bearing on general business inter
ests. Ex-governor Glick of Kansas tes
tified that he had been in the cattle
raising business thirty years and during
that time the prices of cattle had de
creased 30 to 40 per cent He gave it as
his opinion that the cause for this de
crease was the establishment of a pack
ing interest at Kansas City which at first
produced a great competition among the
sellers of cattle and afterwards a combi
nation among packers which was so
powerful that the members could buy
cattle at their own prices. The packers
also controlled rates on the railroads;
the packers of Kansas City had almost
ruined the butchers of Atchison and
would have done so entirely had not the
city council passed an ordinance requir
ing the inspection of beef on the hoof.
The testimony of James Haap was the
most interesting of any, and showed in a
very direct manner, the method by
which the combine operates. He said
he was a scalper, what the packers call a
"Dago." He operates on the Kansas
City market and knows that Armour,
Swift and the others have formed a
combination to control the price of
cattle. They had warned him not to
buy too many cattle, but he had paid no
attention to the warning, and the next
bunch of cattle he bought, he was forced
to sell at a loss of $300. The combine
wanted to know of him if he had had
enough. He told them he thought he
had, and since then he had done busi
ness on a small scale and had not been
Interfered with by the packers.
A. J. Morris of the firm of Morris,
Butts & Co., gave his testimony very re
luctantly, but asserted that the dressed
beef business was going to the dogs
quite as fast as the cattle business; that
there was too much competition in it,
and that none of the packers were
making money. In answer to the ques
tion, what, then, makes you stay in the
business? he said "pride and the hope of
better times."
The public will watch with interest
the progress of the committee towards a
solution of this vexed question. It is
very evident to observant people that
the farmer who raises cattle, and raises
the corn to fat them is not making
wages, and for the past two or three
years has simply been holding on be
cause he couldn't well let go or because
he thought affairs might before long take
a turn for the better. In the meantime
dressed beef has been selling at the
same old prices. Our local butchers,
while always thrifty and well-to-do,
have not become bloated bond-holders,
and so the natural inference is that the
"Great Four," the dressed-beef combine,
have gobbled all the profits of the farm
er, and whatever lay loose between the
price paid for the cattle on hoof, and
what they bring of the consumer, ex
cepting the small percentage that goes
for freight, commission and express.
Tho "Combine" has, so far, been too
much for the raiser and the shipper. It
remains to be seen what the U. S. senate
will do.
TANNER'S RESIGNATION.
Text of Hi Letter to the President aad the
Latter'A Reply.
Washington, Sept. 12. The following
is Commissioner Tanner's letter of resig
nation nnd President Harrison's reply
thereto:
Department of the Intebior,Bcrratt
of Pensions, Washington, Sept. 12,
1889. Mr. President: The differences
which exist between the secretary of the
interior and myself as to the policy to be
pursued in the administration of the
pension bureau Has readied a stage
which threatens to embarrass me to an
extent which I feel I should not be called
upon to suffer, and as the investigation
into the affairs of the bureau has been
completed, and I am assured both by
yourself and the secretary of the interior,
it contains no reflection on my integrity
as an individual or as an officer, I here
with place my resignation in your hands,
to take effect at your pleasure, to the
end that you may be relieved of any
further embarrassment in the matter.
Very respectfully yours,
James Tanner,
Commissioner.

12, 1889. Hon. James Tanner, Commis
sioner of Pensions Dear Sir: Your let

office of commissioner of pensions has
been leceived, and your resignation ac
cepted, .to take effect on the appoint

I do not think it necessary in this cor
respondence to discuss the causes which
have led to the present attitude of affairs
in the pension office. You have been
kindly and fully advised of my views
upon most of these matters. It gives

Peaaiea Bureau Report.
Washington. Sept. 11. A statement
prepared at the pension bureau shows
that on June 30, 1889, there were 489,725
pensioners on the rolls, an increase dur
ing the past five years of 144,000. For
the year ending June 30,1888, the ap
propriations were $80,473,000, and pay
ments $884275,000. For the current year,
ending June 30, 1889, the appropriations
were the same. In July and August
there were advanced to agents on requi
sitions, $34,700,000, while the amount
disbursed by agents in the same months
was 811,486,000. The statement says
that "more than half of the disburse
ments were in payment of cases allowed
during the preceding fiscal year, and not
paid then because of deficiency in appro
priations, making it necessary to pay
these claims out of the appropriation
for the fiscal year 1890. This accounts,
in every particular, for the apparent in
crease in the payment of pensions dur
ing July and August, 1889. In July and
August of last year there was advanced
to agents on requisitions $24800,000, and
they gave out in payment of pensions
$4341,000.
AnMr aaa the Senate.
Unless Mr. Armour has good
for believing that he and his
beef syndicate are more powerful than
the United States senate and bouse of
representatives he has made a mistake.
The fact that he has refused to appear
before a properly constituted investigat
ing coaunittee of the senate will be ac
cepted by committee, senate and people
as a confession that he is engaged in a
bastaess inimical to the public interests
and that be fears to have it investigated
byacomautteetaatwilliaTestigate.
Terhaps, however, Mr. Armour,
seared in advance that liberal con-
tributions to campaign funds entitle
him to tell the senate investigating com
mittee to go to Hades, and that after do
ing so he 'can 'with 'safety twirl his
thumbs at the eoauaittee and ask
Tweed's famoas question. The public
will watch with some degree of interest
to see what the senate will do about it.
Philadelphia Times.
"OM Hatch" Held Up.
"Old HutoVthe great manipulator of
the grain market at Chicago was the
victim of footpads Monday morning.
He had just left his office, where he
had spent the night, presumably devis
ing some new scheme for a squeeze on
the board of trade, and was quietly saun
tering home. At the corner of VanBu
ren street and Pacific avenue the old
gentleman was suddenly accosted by two
tough looking men who demanded his
money or his life. Hutchinson threw up
his hands without a murmur while the
highwaymen searched his pockets. They
found nothing, so "Old Hutch" claims.
The thieves escaped.
The people of Platte county have
turned their attention seriously to the
discharge of their duties as citizens.
The party or the clique or clan of a party
that thinks to do the "hood-winking"
act to a successful issue this time must
be very shrewd indeed. Times have
changed somewhat from what they used
to be and men have changed with them.
No man. or clique carries the voters in
pocket. There is considerable more in
dependence than formerly. Men are not
now driven about and rounded up or
corralled like cattle, as some of our
democratic bosses have boasted of doing
in the former days. They are doing
more thinking for themselves, which is
altogethercommendablein them. When
they conclude to retire to private life
men who assume to be their political
bosses the atmosphere will be a great
deal purer than it now is.
Stanley's Movements.
A cable dispatch from Zanzibar
to the government of the Congo state
says: Stanley, on leaving the basin of
Albert Nyanza, endeavored to make his
way southward by passing to the west of
Victoria Nyanza, but failed. He then
went northward and reached the eastern
shore of the lake. Emin Pasha accom
panied him. After a long stay on the
borders of the lake awaiting supplies
Stanley, leaving Emin Pasha, marched
in the direction of Mombassa. He is ex
pected to reach the eastern sea coast
about the end of October.
Lawyer Forrest and three compan
ions went on the night of Sept. 9th to
the Carlson cottage and were shown all
over the premises. While Forrest had
the proprietor engaged pointing out the
residence of O'Sullivan, his companions
jumped over the railing and with sharp
tools removed from the floor and wall
pieces containing blood stains, supposed
to be left there at the murder of Dr.
Cronin. Old man Carlson came in with
a cocked revolver, but he was seized and
disarmed, and they got away with the
stains. This scene produced quite a
sensation at the cottage.
Nine days had been spent in trying to
select a jury in the Dr. Cronin murder
case in Chicago. Up to Sept. 9th no
jury was secured. Under the broad rules
of exceptions to jurors, it appears al
most impossible to obtain a jury. In
telligent men will read, and will hear,
and form opinions from such informa
tion; but such opinions should not dis
qualify them from serving as jurors
under oath, to render a verdict accord
ing to the evidence produced before
them.
Last week the Atlantic coast was
swept by storm and the scene of great
destruction of property from high tides,
caused by the terrible wind storm that
lasted two days. Nearly all the summer
resorts were submerged, railroad tracks
along the beach washed away, and many
of the cottages have been demolished,
while small crafts along the shore were
dashed to pieces. The damage to ship
ping is not known, but it will be very
great
A report came from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
the other day of the arrest at Lusk of
Frank Watson, and five others, consti
tuting a band of wholesale horse thieves,
which infested northern Wyoming. It
is estimated that they have stolen from
the herds nearly 2,000 horses. Some
opinion can be formed of their opera
tions, when we consider the fact that
the warrant on which they were arrest
ed charges the theft of eighty horses in
the last month.
Charges have been prepared against
the receiver of public moneys at North
Platte, which will very likely cut short
his official life. Incompetency, it is be
lieved, is the principal charge. Owing
to the uncertainty as to who his succes
sor will be, they rest in a vault of a cer
tain bank in that town for the present.
It it possible that they may never see
the light, as it is expected that at the
expiration of the term of the register of
the land office, which will be in October,
a clean sweep will be made.
A few days ago at Winchester, Kas.,
a crowd of boys thought to frighten one
of their companions by putting a "tick
tack" on his window. Willie Bay was
selected as the victim. He thought the
boys were burglars sure enough, and
loading a shotgun, fired a load of buck
shot into the crowd. One boy will die,
another is seriously injured, and another
was shot in the arm.
The Union Pacific snow shed west of
Cheyenne, Wyot, was burned one morn
ing last week. The shed was 1400 feet
long. It is believed the fire was started
by sparks from a passing engine.
Letter.
Fraa oar ragalar corraapondent.
Saturday the. first cabinet meeting for
quite a while was held; all the cabinet
were present except secretaries Blaine
and Bask who are out of town. The
extra session, lasting several hours was
given up to the discussion of an extra ses
sion of congress, and it was finally de
cided not to call an extra session. When
the meeting opened .the only oatright
opponents of an extra sessioa were sec
retaries Windows and Tracy, but they
were so well fortified with ananswerable
it that the decision
finally arrived at anaaiasoaaly. It
sjeaerally ernented that several
other important nutters would be taken
npat thkraMeting; bat owiaff to the
length of the ssasioa they
postponed. The democrats
be disappointed because no extra nraeinB
of congress has been called. They had
been indulging in the hope of its being
called and of some nustakas beiag Bade
by the republicans that would change
the unmistabably. favorable nentiment
which the country entertains at present
for the administration.
The president has appointed a long
list of postmasters, also the following:
Thomas H. Anderson, of Ohio, to be
minister to Bolivia; Edwin Dan, to be
secretary of the legation to Japan; Ar
thur W. Barrett, of Massachusetts (a
brother of the editor of the Boston Ad
vertiser), to be secretary of the legation
to Venezuela; W. B. Gardner, jr., of In
diana, to be second secretary of the lega
tion to Japan and the following consuls:
Joseph T. Mason, of Virginia, at Man
heim; Bernard Macauley, of New York
(son of Gen. Dan Macauley, ex-mayor of
Indianapolis) at Managua, Nicaragua;
Aulick Palmer of the District of Colum
bia, at Dresden and John D. Delille,of
Texas, (son of Olive Logan, the famous
newspaper correspondent) at Bristol,
England.
Secretary Proctor has gone to Ver
mont and Gen. Schofield is acting sec
retary of war.
Quite a number of officials and several
members of the diplomatic corps went
over to Philadelphia Saturday to witness
the launching of the new cruiser "Phila
delphia." A daughter of posttaaster
general Wanamaker christened theVae
boat
Judge Houck the plain-spoken con
gressman from Tennessee and civil ser
vice commissioner Lyman had a good
natured argument a day or two ago as to
whether the. civil service commission
should be abolished. Judge Houck took
the affirmative and succeeded in easily
demolishing every reason that Mr. Ly
man could furnish for the existence of
the commission. It is more than proba
ble.that the judge will repeat his argu
ment upon the floor of the house early
in the next session.
A meaner or more underhanded and
contemptible fight than that which is
being waged against commissioner Tan
ner, has never been seen. Almost every
crime which bitter malice can invent has
been charged against him; no lie is too
ridiculous for those papers fighting him
to print I am no apologist for commis
sioner Tanner he needs none. He has
committed errors, but they have been in
every instance of the heart and net the
head. The only trouble with Tanner is
that he is entirely too big to suit a lot of
close-fisted curmudgeons, who would like
to see all the old soldiers turned out to
graze, instead of being pensioned from
the overflowing treasury of the country
which they saved. Tanner isn't the kind
of a man these fellows want at the head
of the pension office. They want a man
that will pile as many obstacles as possi
ble in the path of the poor applicant for
a pension and give the wealthy govern
ment instead of the poor applicant the
benefit of every doubt which may arise
in proving disability. But there is one
consolation for the veterans the only
man who has the power to remove "Cor
poral" Tanner is Benjamin Harrison and
he is known to think: pretty much as
Tanner does on the soldier question.
Policeman Kearney, the man whe- ar
rested the assassin Guiteau as he was
running to a carriage after the shooting
of president Garfield, died here last
Friday.
Wednesday, the 1st inst, was the one
hundredth anniversary of the organiza

he compare the department as it is today
with what it was then, would doubtless
open his eyes very wide.
The world's Exposition to be held in
Washington in 1892 will be the grandest
affair of the kind ever seen. The Cen
tennial exhibition of 1876 will seem by
comparison with it to have been a very
ordinary show.
Senator Sherman is to be given a rous

Ohio and Indiana furnish more appli

linseed oil from the abundance of flax
seed raised in Gage county. Work will
be commenced on the plant by the first
of October.
Capt A. M. Enoch, an old settler and
wounded soldier of HamboU, last week
lost bis mind and does not know his
intimate friends. It is believed his
present trouble arises from his bullet
wound received in the war, aad grief at
the loss of his wife.

Mary Anna Dunn, wife of Wm. Dana,
living not far northwest of North Bead,
the other day poisoned herself and two
children. The mother and youngest
child are dead, and the oldest child not

the mother was laboring under a fit of
insanity, as her domestic relations had
been happy.
A mad stone was applied to a son of
Win. Stoddar last Friday, and stack to
him three or four hours. He waajntten

to the three children of M. D. Bominger
also, but to one it refused to stick.

Ed. Taylor, about a year ago left his
wife and family and eloped with the
hired girl, with whom he has since been
living. He returned last week to his
brother's in the vicinity of Ohiowa,
where a number of his old neighbors col
lected and stripped him and administer
ed a coat of tar and feathers. He plead
for mercy, but his old neighbors showed
none, and put on the tar and feathers.
Adelbert Henry, a farm hand, while
driving in a road cart the other day to
Brownfield, near Aurora, let his shotgun
slip from between his knees where it was
resting; it slid down between the slots
in the bottom of the cart, causing a dis
charge, the contents of the gun entering
his neck and face, causing instant death.
An elopement was reported Saturday
at Waterloo of G. C. Peaney, one of
their respected citizens and city marshal,
with Mrs. John Bell, wife of a well-to-do
farmer. The affair was a great surprise
to the citizens. Peaney leaves a wife
and several small children. Mrs. Bell
leaves a very comfortable home, a hus
band and two children, the youngest
about 8 years old.

membership of the state board.
I cannot understand how men enough
could be found in our legislative body
so blinded to wisdom as to pass the new
"Property law." Were they all bache
lors, or men regardless of the best in
interest of their wives? for in such a far
reaching subject all are liable to be af
fected. How many cases like the following ex
ist in our state? The home of one of
our neighbors is childless; the husband
and wife started with little money, not
great strength but an unconquerable de
termination to make a home from the
prairie farm; together they have worked
the wife with the husband, in the gar
den, the corn field, driving the reapern
everything doing their full share with
not a dollar of help or sympathy from
his family; should the husband die and
she be compelled to sell the farm to pay
the debts there would be about enough
income to keep her with great economy;
it, she must divide with his family it
would be of little use to them, and she,
deprived of her home, must go out nurs
ing or engage in some occupation to live.
If she could keep the farm, with stock
and improvements, her share of the
crops would make her comfortable for
life and she could easily pay all the
debts in a little time.
What complications it will make where
there are children if the wife is com
pelled to divide the little that is left
with them! She will have to board and
cloth them, educate them, and it usually
requires all there is without each one
claiming their portion.
The following case came under my
observation: An old man died leaving
a wife and nine children. He divided
his property equally, leaving the wife as
one of the heirs. She lived twenty
years after his death; before half that
time expired, her portion was gone and
she was a pensioner on her children.
They supported her willingly, but she
always felt bound and uncomfortable,
she who toiled as well as the husband
to make the money; who had borne and
reared the children, should have all the
property while she lived, then the chil
