BY EASTER TIME, SUCH LOOKS TO BE CASE AT FRESENT TIME. MARKET IS OVERSTOCKED Eggs Have Been More Plentiful This Winter Than Tor Many Years Prices Now Breaking. The warm weather has been so favorable for the production of eggs that groceries are overstocked and large supplies are being brought to the cities every day. In Richmond, the retail price of 20 cents a dozen Keems to be breaking, and some grocers think that two or three cents will be dropped from it within the next few days, unless there is a greater demand. Eggs have been more plentiful this winter than ever before, and at no time have been more than twenty-six cents per dozen. During the coldest weather, the price remained firm at twenty cents and by Easter, eggs, at like present rate, will be worth about eight cents a dozen. LOCAL MARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. .

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Two Thousand Hogs; Steady to 5c Lower; Reports From Other Markets Showed Weakness; Butcher Cattle in Demand. Indianapolis, Feb. 12. Receipts 2,000 hogs, 650 cattle and 10 sheep, against 2,570 hogs, 629 cattle and 3 sheep a week ago and 2,229 hogs, 233 cattle and 11 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were small even for Monday, but notwithstanding this the situation was weaker in harmony with unfavorable reports from other places. Hogs that might have sold at $6.05 Saturday were 5c lower. Others were steady. Practically all the supply of all kinds sold at $6.00 A few, however, were bought at $5.95. Choice Steers Scarce. Receipts of cattle were as large as usual at this time in the week, but there was a scarcity of choice fleers. There was an active demand for butcher cattle of all kinds and they found an easy outlet at steady prices. Steers did not move as freely, but w?ere steady. There was a steady market for feeding cattle, no perceptible change in bulls and calves were steady. Few Sheep and Lambs. There were not enough sheep or lambs here to establish now prices, but report frr.m other places showed a weaker feeling. With liberal re ceipts the tendency would be toward a reaction. On a basis of last week's closing prices lambs would sell for $7.25 down, yearlings for $5.00 down, and sheep for $4.50 down. Cattle.

PACKAGE COFFEE IS ADULTERATED

STATE CHEMIST EXPOSES SOME STRANGE METHODS OF BIG ROASTERS. CHEAP BEANS ARE COLORED To Make Them Look as If They Were High Grade Coffee Violation of Law. Indianapolis, Feb. 12. "Now, you wouldn't think at first that mere was much opportuity for adulteration oi coffee," pondered State Chemist 11. E. Barnard, as he gazed at a mass oi material on the tauie in the state laboratory, "but compare these samples of before and alter." The chemist had secured from the various grocers over the stale, samples of package and bulk coffees. The beans had been placed in tepid water, and after a short time many of them were bereit of the various coloring matters that had given them an attractive appearance. "A lew years ago," continued the chemist, "it was a common practice to adulterate coffee by the substitution of artificial beans made of wheat dour. But the present price of Central American and Brazilian coffees makes the substitution "unprofitable. However, it is apparently a common practice among dealers in package coffees to take cheap beans either too dark or too light in color, and with a mixture of caramel, etc., color them until the beans have a high-grade appearance." Only one or two of the cases of adulteration were found in bulk coffees. Only one brand examined bore upon its package a statement as to the contents. This said that the package contained coffee, eggs and sugar in various quantities. One brand, of a highly glazed variety, advertised that coffee beans could be preserved in greater strength by glazing. When the dainty chocolate coloring is removed from some of the coffee beans they present a remarkably blackened and unfavorable appearance. The Indiana pure food law provides explicitly against colored, coated or powdered articles of food, when the real condition is concealed, or the article- is made to appear better or of greater value than it really is. "BOUNCING" WAS OMITTED. Elks at Elwood Had an Initiate Who Was Much Too Heavy for the " Horse Play." Elwood, Ind., Feb. 12. Friday evening the Elwood Elk lodge conferred the degrees on Chauncey Morlan, supposed to be the heaviest Elk in the world. Morlan, who has exhibited with all the leading circuses and at museums, and who made a transcontinental trip with the Barnum & Bailey shows, weighs on the bills over 600 pounds. He is a half-brother to Charles Herring, a leading furniture dealer of this city, and has been making his home here for some time. Morlan will accompany the Elwood Elks lodge to Denver and 3GS will claim the prize for having the heaviest Elk at -the national meeting. Morlan 's home has lately been at Indianapolis, and he is known to the circus and vaudeville profession all over the country. It is said that the "bouncing" proceeding was entirely omitted from the initiation ceremonies this evening. HE LIKED THE BRAND. Wanted Same kind of Tobacco as Miss Lacy Chewed Rough Method. Booneville, Ind., Feb. 12. "I want a piece of tobacco of the kind you chew," said Thomas Condit, a farmer, to Miss Grace Lacy yesterday clerk in a Folsomville store. Grabbing up a coal Eivel she pummeled Condit with so much virfr that .e was knocked completely off his feet. Condit ran out of the store and came to Booneville, where he swore out a warrant fo; Miss Lacj fe arrest charging assault and battery. She was arrested and fined i

DUBLIN IS PREPARING FOR THE RICHMOND CRAZE. I. O. O. F. Hall Is Being Fitted Up and Skates Have Been Ordered People Enthusiastic. (Palladium Special.) Dublin, Ind., Feb. 12.

About fifty pairs of skates have been ordered and with those that are already in town, the people will have plenty of skates.

Jones, the New President, Declines to Say who Bought His Predecessor's Stock. Indianapolis, Feb. 12. "I am out of the Indianapolis Sentinel; you will have to see A. Q. Jones for the information." This statement was made by Thomas Taggart yesterday, when asked about changes that it was understood were being made on the Indianapolis Sentinel. "Mr. Taggart 's statement tells the story," said A. Q. Jones, "and that is about all there is to it. The paper will be conducted by the same men that have been in charge of it for some time and there will be no changes in policy or anything else." EXTRACTS PIECE OF PIN FROM HAND LOGANSPORT WOMAN PASSES THROUGH A PAINFUL AND PECULIAR EXPERIENCE. WHILE AT WORK LAST YEAR A Pin Entered Her Palm and Was Broken, Leaving Part of It In Her Hand. The Logansport Pharos prints the following: "Mrs. James Stover, of No. 602 Burlington avenue, yesterday had the remarkable experience of extracting from the back of her hand a sharp pin point which last summer entered the palm of the hand and had ever since been imbedded in the flesh. The operation, strange to say, was almost painless and the indications are that the wound will heal without difficulty. "It appears that one day last July Mrs. Stover was washing a shirt waist and having neglected to remove from the waist a black steel pin, the point of the pin entered the palm of her hand while she was engaged in rubbing the garment and before she could release it the pin broke off and left a piece about an inch long in the flesh. The point, which was sharp as a needle entered the thick part of the hand and all efforts to remove it proved futile. "Nothing further was thought of it until yesterday, when Mrs. Stover noticed a sratherinj' on the back of her hand. Passing her other hand over the inflamed portion she felt something sharp protruding from the flesh, and going to the house of Mr. and Mrs. James Updegraff, adjoining, asked them to examine her hand. Mr. Updegraff likewise notices the sharp point protruding from the flesh and procuring a pair of nail clippers made several attempts to. pull the point out and eventually succeeded. It proved to be the pin point which had entered Mrs. Ftover's hand last July. "The inflammation was relieved by the application of poultices and Mrs. Stover expects no serious results from the affair. The pin point was of blue black steel and had not rusted. If it had, no doubt blood poisoning would have set in and tie inJjury might have proved dangerous."
