PRICES OP PORK AREASCEHDING Local Butchers Selling at an Increase of Two and OneHalf Cents on Pound.
BEEF MAY ALSO GO UP.
TIME IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING WHEN AN INCREASE WILL HAVE TO BE MADE WILL REMAIN HIGH FOR SOME TIME.
Click -click. Did you hoar it? It was not the noise 'if the setting of the trigger, but it might just as well have been. It was only the application of the jack Bcrew to the price of pork and the noise made by two and one-half revolutions of the screw. Go to the meatmarket and ask for a pound of pork, then count your change afterward. You will find you are out just 'JY2 cents more than you were last week. Why? Well, maybe the butchers can, tell you, and maybe they can't, or it might bo more (specific to ay maybe they won't. It is the truth, though, and if you want the truth, and want it quick, so the agony will be over, prepare for this beef prices are to raise, veal has become more expensive, and-O, well, why not be a vegetarian and save your money? The hurdle race of the price of living Is becoming more and more exciting. The obstacles have been made higher and the bars are so lofty even now that many of the racers refuse to take the jump and dodge under and become disqualified. The meat mar
ket is a barometer and as is vascillates bo muBt the success or failure of the man, who eats to gain sustenance. He must have sustenance to live. Pork that sold for 12 cents per pound now sells for 15. It is not hard to realize what that means. Four pounds of this kind of meat, that last week cost 5 cents, now costs m cents. The price has been advanced by dealers throughout the city. The price of beef steaks remains the same, but. the market has begun to fluctuate and it is a safe bet that when the trembling is over the impetus will have been upward and not downward. There is a difference evident at some shops even now. Have you noticed there is more bone and fat hanging to the steaks you buy now than there was a few weeks ago? That is what the butchers term "trimmings." They don't trim any more. That reduces weight, and that reduces
profit. Some few o.' the butchers have not adopted the plan. Butchers answer questions as to the cause of advance in a monotonous manner. They have had to answer the same question so often it has become tiresome to them. Housewives and others who ask, are told it costs more to obtain hogs and beeves for butchering now than it did a few weeks ago. The retailers say the price made to them by the wholesalers has forced them to advance prices. It has not become necessary to juggle the price of beef to any great extent up to the present, but the time is arriving when beef will perform in the left hand of the juggler, while pork keeps the price manipulator busy in the right. It is a question of supply and demand. The supply is not increasing as rapidly as the demand and scarcity of meat makes prices higher. It is claimed, also, that beef prices always go up in spring and remain high until grass fed stock is marketed.
THE PEOPLEARE AROUSED They No Longer Doubt Testimonials Are Useless. The Root Juice people came to Richmond to prove the reports that were circulating over the country in relation to the many remarkable cures the
great remedy was making. Hundreds of people that heard of the remedy, crowded into A. G. Luken's Drug store and bought some of it and after taking it a short while many returned for more and urged their friends to try it. Many local testimonials were published in this paper until it became useless as so many of this city know of many cures it has made and is making. It has certainly proved to be the greatest remedy known for the stomach, liver, kidneys and blood. It is remarkable the way it heals the stomach and bowels and gives strength to the liver and kidneys. Out of all of the hundreds that gave the remedy a fair trial at this point not a single one has been heard to condemn it. but on the contrary many who suffered for years with indigestion, chronic constipation, rheumatism and various kidney complaints, after taking a few buttles of the Juice claim a positive cure. So the great remedy does not
merely patch. IT CURES. Root Juice is sold for $1 a bottle, six bottles for $5 at A. G. Luken's drug store.

Attitude of America Toward Manchuria Jurisdiction The Cause.
WAIL THAT IS SET UP.
St. Petersburg, April 1. The Russian government is disturbed by the attitude assumed by Fred D. Fisher, the American consul at Harbin, in the matter or recognizing the jurisdiction of Russia in Manchuria. Mr. FisTier insists that Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria is supreme, and furthermore he has supported the protests of China against the establishment by Russia of municipalities in the railroad zone at Harbin and Chailar independent of the Chinese government, and his attitude in this Russo-Chinese difficulty has prompted Russia to seek an explanation of his course, both at the American embassy here and in Washington. The foreign office here expresses the belief that it would be decidedly to the interest of the United States to recognize the Russian administration of Manchuria, inasmuch as foreign residents share In the privilege of this administration.
The Twilight Of life, The muscles of the stomach In old ase are not as strong or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, havo unpleasant eructations of gas from tne stomach after eating. All this can be avoided by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which permanently regulates the bowels so that passages come naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that food is digested without discomfort. Druggists sell it at 50 cents or II a large bottle.

CHICAGO FEARS FOR LIFE 0FJO.TAFT Precautions Being Taken to Save Him From the Ire Of Anarchists.
SECRECY IS THE WORD.
HE WILL BE SMUGGLED INTO CHICAGO, THE TIME OF HIS ARRIVAL BEING UNKNOWN TO ANY EXCEPT THE POLICE.
Chicago. April 1. Fearing: possible attempts upon the life of Secretary Taft, extraordinary precautions will be taken to protect him during his sojourn in Chicago. The secretary is scheduled to arrive late Friday after
noon. A conference was held byChief of Police Shippey. Mayor Busse and Captain O'Brien, of detective headquarters, and plans made for the safety of the cabinet member. Urgent messages were wired to Secretary Taft, in which he was requested to co-operate with the police. He was asked to keep secret the exact hour of his arrival on Friday, and also the name of the railroad station at which he is to arrive. It was explained to him that the precautions were necessary in view of the inflammatory attitude of the anarchists throughout the
country. The recent attack upon Chief Shippey's family and the bomb outrage in New York, are cited as two of the many reasons for the exercise of raution. From here Secretary Taft goes to Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha, and the same precautions will be taken there.
INCIDENT IS CLOSED
President Roosevelt Issues a Statement in Regard to Hill's Standing.
HAS NOT BEEN IMPAIRED.
Washington. April 1. The attitude
of the American administration is that Mr. David Jayne Hill's eminence as a statesman, scholar and diplomat has not suffered the slightest impairment in view of the disclaimer of the German Emperor of any adverse expression regarding him and of the hearty recognition of Mr. Hill's personality and stauding contained in the statement of President Roosevelt issued from the white house last night. At the German embassy it was stated today that nothing more is to be said regarding the Hill matter from that quarter.

Lasting. "Your suggestion," said a depositor to the bank receiver, "offers very cold comfort. It is a bachelor's comfortthat is to say, no comfort at all. " 'What' said a bachelor to a Benedict, 'only married a year and already so blue?' " 'Ah, but, groaned the Benedict, 'I never imagined that a wife would prove so expensive.' "The bachelor patted the blue married man on the back in a consolatory way. " 'Yes,' he said, 'a wife is an expensive article, that is true. Hut then you must remember that she lasts a very long time.' "
Aristocracy. What subsists today by violence continues tomorrow by acquiescence and Is perpetuated by tradition till at last the hoary abuse shakes the gray hairs of antiquity at us and gives Itself out as the wisdom of ages. Thus the clearest dictates of reason are made to yield to n long succession of follies. And this is the foundation of the
aristocratic system at the present day.

Satan Terrified. There is as great genius displayed In advertising as in the higher branches of literature. No problem daunts the modern advertising man. In the window of a little book store In Eighth avenue, New York, was recently heaped a great pile of Bibles marked very low. Never before were Bibles offered at such a bargain, and above them all in big letters was the Inscription: Satan trembles when he see Bibles sold as low as these.
The report of arrests made by the local police department during the month of March shows that the police had a busy time, a total of eighty arrests being made. The fact that there are a large number of unemployed men at the present time is reflected in this report, which shows that thirty arrests were made on the charge of public intoxication, six arrests for trespass, three arrests for vagrancy and three arrests for loitering. The report in full is as follows: Violating liquor laws, 2; intoxication, ?; bastardy, 1; assault and battery, 10; adultery, 1: violating city ordinances. 4; petty larceny. t': carrying obscene pictures, 1; loitering, 3; wife desertion, 1: safe keeping, II; vagrancy, ."; fornication, 4; incorrigibility, 1; prostitution, 1: association, 1; grand larceny, 1; burglary, 12: trespass, 0.
