CORN CROP COOD
CONDITIONS IN NEBRASKA AND
OTHER STATES.
WHATSECIETARYWILSNSAYS
OlMtrvativna of His Trip in the W
Thinks the Price of Mf Will Qm
Otwn Abundance of Grass in the
Csuntry.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Secretary
Wilson, who bas returned from a trip1
throogb the west, summarised tn6
agricultural condition in the states be'
visited. These states included Ne-1
braska, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He
said there was a great abundance of
crops generally in that regjoa. t
"There will be a good oora crop,"i
he said. "Corn now is substantially
out of the way of the frost.
"The corn crops in parts of Kansau
Nebraska and Indiana are probably!
the finest on record. There has been
more hundreds of millions of dollars
depending on the ripening of this cropj
this year than the ordinary person
has ever realized.
"While the crop is a little late, any
danger of its failure can now be con
sidered over. The crop is a good one.
While it may not be a record-breaker,
the quality of the corn is saleadid
and with the exception of the southern
states the yield per acre is very
heavy. In the south the drouth has
somewhat affected the corn crop.
"The wheat crop of the west this'
year is also very fine and what ma
be considered as really the most im
portant crop of all the grass crop
is exceedingly good.
"The census tells us there has been'
a great Increase during the last ten
years in the number of cattle in the
United States. This information;
taken together with the fine crop of
grass, insures lower prices of meat. I
don't believe the price of meat, how
ever, will ever be as low as it has
been in the past for the simple reason
that the American people are more
prosperous than ever before and are
eating more meat than ever before.
"However, the exceedingly high
prices of meat will be a thing cf the
past as soon as the present feeders
get fattened up to a beef condition.
Another thing that will tend to keep
the price of meat a little above the
former lower price is the demand of
England for our meats." .

BAD FOR THE DEPOSITORS.
Will Loee Heavily in the Chamber
lain Bank Wreck.
TECUMSEH. Neb., Sept. 15. There
is much feverish excitement in the
Chamberlain bank wrecking case.
The bank examiner's report shows the
whole affair up in such a bad light
that some of the depositors whose
only means were wrapped up in the
bank are now desperate and threaten
ing talk is made against Cashier
Chamberlain's safety, should he have
the misfortune to again return to Te
cumseh. Crookedness of every kind and even
forgery and mutilation of records are
charged up against him. It develop
ed that the bank was run in the loos
est sort of a way, no check or re
straint being placed on Chamberlain's
actions. In fact nobody but Chamber
lain himself knew anything about the
bank's affairs.
The farther the matter is investi
gated the worse the thing appears,
till now it is a question of how little
and not how mach the depositors will
get.

A MEAT MERCER
A COMBINATION OF PACKING I
TERESTS ASSURED.
WILL RIVAL THE STEEL TIUST
Plans Will Ge Into Operatien in Abeuf
Twe Weeks How Capital Stack Is
Divided Armour & Ce. Will Have
Large Interest.
CHICAGO, Sept 13. The Record'
Herald today will say: The loag ex
pected merger of the great meat pack
ing innterests of the United State
will go into active operation Satur
day, September 27th. unless there
should be uniooked for change in the
plans agreed upon by those concerned
in the deal, at a meeting held here
yesterday. An industrial combination
second only to the steel trust i there
fore practically an accomplished fact.
Reports concerning the actual terms
of the consolidation differ. The most
reliable light shed upon the subject
was the plan outlined by a Boston
authority who has possessed the most
Inside information about the deal ever
since its existence was rumored in
the early part of last spring.
According to this expert the net
concern is to be capitalized at the
rate of twenty-five times the last
year's earnings of the constituent
companies. For example, the Cudahy
acking company is said to have earned
about 1821.000 in 1901, which would
make its share of the capital stock
of the merger 121.000,000. A 4 per
cent dividend that tha new consolida
tion might be expectedv to declare
would amount to 1840,000 on this lot
of stcck approximately its legitimate
earnings.
On this basis of capitalization Ar
mour ft Co., whose last year's profits
are supposed to have been about 8,-
000,000, will receive $200,000,000 in
the security in change for their bus!
ness. Swift ft Co. will receive $50,-
900,000, their net earnings for the last
fear probably not amounting to over
$2,000,000, owing to the fact that this
company does not own its subsidiary
organizations, such as selling agencies.
Carrying out this method to the end
the Schwarzchild ft Sulzberger com
pany would receive $26,000,000.
It is said that it is .the undoubted
determination to control all the pack
ing houses and stock yards in the
country and to save every possible
dollar im the cost of manufacturing
and distribution. In. addition to all
this, by-products will be absolutely
controlled and efforts made to buy up
Industries that are closely allied to

Italy to stamp Out Dueling.
MILAN. Sept 12. As a result of a
iuel fought here several days ago be
tween two captains of the Sixth regi
ment, the Italian authorities are deter
mined to stamp out duelling. The
challenger has been expelled from the

PEOPLE OF MARS ARE SMART.
Chicago Professor says They Are Su
perior in Intelligence.
CHICAGO Sept. 12. That a people
superior in intelligence to those of
the earth Inhabit the planet of Mars
is a conclusion that will be set forth
by Prof. G. W. Hough, head of the de
partment of astronomy of the North
western university, in a report which
he is compiling of his summer's obser-.
vations from the Dearborn observa
tory. He asserts this is a probability
based on recent discoveries and adds
that, of course, it can never bes es
tablished positively.
The conclusion includes the accep
tance of the theory of evolution and
the statements of leading astronomers
that climatic conditions of Mars arr
the same as of the earth. The possi
bility of Mercury and Venus being in-
habited is admitted, because they
have solidified, and the intense heat
resulting from their proximity to the
sun may have been overcome by a
deeper covering of atmosphere. None
of the other planets, the professor
said, could contain animal life.
SULTAN HARD UP FOR. MONEY.

lections were made by threats that
the provincial collectors would lose
their positions unless the money Was
forthcoming.
The balance of the sum required was
made up from the fund for military
purchases, customs receipts, etc The
money thus taken from the last nam-
ed source will interfere with the
porte's payment to the Cramps 'of
Philadelphia and to Herr Krupp of
Germany for war material.
