KANSAS WOMEN SMASH JOINTS AS CARRIE DID. Armed with HnUlietß, They Put Four Illicit Saloons Out of Business—Man ; SeekitlK Srumosed Kitem y•Ki 11 s Brot her by Mistakc. Four joints, or illicit saloons. were wrecked by women in Cuba, Kan., and much liquor destroyed. Mrs. O. E. l it.'' and Mrs. William McDonald, wives of prominent business mon. armed with hatchets, first entered without warning the place- fun by Ben Hull. Without ceremony they began to smash everything in sight and soon they had demolished bar and fixtures and broken every bottle and opened every keg to be found. Later they were joined - by twenty-live other women, and the entire party raided the other four joints in Cuba. The stocks and fixtures at each place were destroyed. Finally the women spilled into the street a great quantity or keg beer that had been confiscated and stored in the city jail.

COST OF STRIKE GROWS,

Union Men and Packers Have Lost Va»t Sums. The labor stinggle involving Chicago’s greatest industry—that centering In the meat packing plants at the stock yards- lias cost both the union men and the packers a vast sum. A statistical o<mip:il'tson shows the effects of the strike. The strikers lu;iv<.< lost, each week. S3IS.(MKt in wages, making a total of Sl.s'.ii'.tKK) thus sacrificed. What the losses of the packers have boon is problematical. > That they have bficu immense is admitted, but no estimates have been furnished by those in position to tell. The effect on the Chicago live stock market has been great. During tinfirst weeks of tlm struggle the receipts were so small that the city became one of the smaller centers instead of the chief market of the world. The big packers, who had bought the most and the best consignments, were practically out of the market. As the struggle dragged along, however, they began to gather working forces large enoug I to run their plants on a considerable scale. A marked improvement was noted early in August.

The packers in the last two weeks have gained in the number of men employed. in the numbar of animals slaughtered, and in the shipments to outside cities. From the first the employers found the least difficulty in securing men to run thei/bog slaughtering departmants. Less skill was required to kill and cut up hogs than cattle and sheep, aud the packers centered their energies on efforts to bring the department up to normal. Two weaks ago they were fairly successful and now they declare they have no more to ask.

The most skilled butchers were required in the cattle slaughtering department. Another fact led the employers to go slow with this part of their plants. Each of the big Chicago houses has branches in western cities These distant plants, not so seriously affected by the strike, were able to handle cattle enough to keep the companies running without the necessity of putting excessive pressure on the Chicago establishments. Fort Worth, Texas, was especially relied oh by two of the companies. ThepTantsinthat city kill practically no animals but cattle. They were and are now run and they make up any deficiency arising from the short output of the Chicago plants.

The volume of output, the packers say, is not wholly dependent on the number of men on the pay rolls. Last year thero were many workers in the employ of the companies who* put in little more than half time eacti week. Now all thc-employes work full time. The owners of the plants say that the actual numbar of hours’ work a week of the present force is not much less than the number of hours of work a week of the former larger crews. Consumers of meat have fcJt the effects of the strike in the advanced prices charged. The dealers have raised their figures in accordance with the credulity of their patrons, the packers declare. The marketmen, however, say they have been forced to pay more for their goods. The big packing companies,- their managers maintain, have tint materially raised prices since the beg' ,mg of the strike. An advance was made Ayhen the struggle was a few days old. This, it is asserted, has not been continued. The sympathetic strike of the teamsters cut the big companies off from the Chicago trade and threw it to the independent concerns. The packers quote figures to prove that these smaller companies have taken advantage of their increased trade and have charged greatly augmented prices. While there has been much complaint .from the live stock producers, the statistics indicate that they have suffered little in the stock yards market. Prices have remained fairly steady, although tliere were some days early in the struggle when large receipts caused disastrous slumps. The loss of the farmer has been chiefly at home. He has, been obliged to hold back and feed cattle, hogs and sheep already fattened for the mai-ket.

Magnitude of the Corn Crop.

The magnitude of the corn fields of the West and Southwest staggers the imagination. The total yield for tho United States in 1002. the banner year thus far, was 2,244,176,125 bushels—two bushels each, roughly speaking, for each inhabitant of the globe. On a single farm at Tarkio in the northern part of the State of Missouri—Hon. David Rankin’s great bonanza corn plantation, the largest in the world—about 15,000 acres are annually sown in Indian corn. Here one may look upon , a single field of more than 6,000 acres. Corn may make a metropolis. The marvelous expansion of Kansas City in the past two decades is due largely to its position in the center of the corn growing region. The hog, the steer nnd the horse are fed by King Corn. Time was when Cincinnati w'as the great packing center of the country, but the hog passed westward to root in the bigger corn fields, and Chicago became the great packing town. Now Kansas City is a close second, and Cincinnati has practically gone out of the packing business.

Prunes Will Be Cheap.

Producers and handlers of prunes are facing a great overproduction this year and a consequent fall in prices. The California and Oregon crop is estimate! 1 at 150,000,(MX) pounds and there is a ‘‘carry-over’’ from last year of 50,000,000 pounds. The crop in Bosnia, Servla and France is estimated at 400,000,000 pounds, so that the'American producers cannot expect any export demand to relieve the situation. Of the 90,000 Catholics in Japan 10,• 000 live in Tokio.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR

The past week has been one of activity in the Far East and severe battles have been fought both on land and sea. The Japanese around Port Arthur renewed their assault on the outlying defenses of the town. With Takushan, elevation 845 feet, on the northeast as a vantage ground, they kept up a constant hammering on all the eastern lines of the enemy. At the same time, on the opposite flank of the besieged, a heavy attack was developed against the forts-on Liauti "Mountain. -Liautishan is 1.512 feet high, being by several hundred feet the greatest elevation in that part of the peninsula. A battery maintained on top of the hill could direct a plunging fire upon all fortifications within range. It is uncertain whether the Japanese have managed to take the hill. The Chinese reports are contradictory. There have been many and circumstantial reports as to the use of land mines by the Russian defenders. The stories of the casualties caused by them must, however, have been enormously exaggerated. It would require the mining of acres of ground to destroy any large quantity of troops In open order. Rifle fire is less dramatic than land mines—and more effective. Early in the week the Japanese gained nearly every position outside the main chain of forts, but at the cost of many lives. « The Chinese report that the Japs took Fort Palicbwang, near the rail-, road, but the subsequent ’evening a sortie drove them out of it again. They retreated to Suciszeying. Tuesday morning the Japanese sent an officer under a white flag to demand the surrender of Port Arhtur. The rather fanciful terms announced by the Chinese refugees, that the fleet should be turned over intact, that the 20,000 defenders might march out with their arms and join Kouropatkin’s

ETSESHAN AND ANTESHAN FORTS, CAPTURED BY JAPANESE.

Etseshan fort, captured by the Japanese, is one of the principal defensive works northwest of Port Arthur. It surmounts a hill 465 feet in height, and is about two miles from what is called the new city, located on the northern shore of West Port. This new city is principally occupied by Russians. Another fort that the Japanese captured is called Antcshan, and stands about a mile north of Etseshan. The latter is considered to be the key to Port Arthur. In the war of 1894 Etseshan was captured by the brigade of Gen. Nrshi, who is now fighting at Port Arthur.

army in Manchuria are not confirmed in the official account received from Tokio. An answer was demanded within twenty-four hours. Whatever the terms, they were rejected by General Stoessel, who broke through his habitual taciturnity into profanity as he considered the Japanese proposition. Perhaps in the future, when war has become more of a science and less of an art, if it can be mathematically demonstrated to a commander that he is hopelessly surrounded and outnumbered, that his resistance will merely prolong the suffering of his men, and that it will accomplish no good to his country, perhaps when that time has come the average ctizen will throw up his hands in horror at the general who refuses to be governed by the logic of the situation and who prefers to fight a hojieless battle rather than to surrender. Such a general will then be called a bloodthirsty butcher, a barbarian, a species of avatlsm. But that time has not come yet. > The battle In the straits of Korea, where Vice Admiral Kamimura, with four armored cruisers, met the three armored cruisers of the Vladivostok squadron, resulted in the sinking of one, the Rurlk. The Rqssla and Gromoboi returned to Vladivostok under their own engines. If Kamimura had fought but a little harder, a little longer, and a little closer, the Rossla and Gromoboi would never have got back to port. They were in a fearfully battered condition. Why be quit fighting when the Muscovites, according to their own "reports, were all but sinking, remains a mystery. He did not have Togo's excuse that he must preserve bls ships against the possible advent of the Baltic squadron. Togo bad already won bls fight and the Japanese command of the sea was

assured. As It is, the Rossla and Gromoboi have been joined at Vladivostok by the Diana, and probably the Novtk. If the war continues into next year, as it probably will, the Vladivostok squadron will have four cruisers to prey upon Japanese commerce. Additional reports coming in during the week regarding Togo’s recent victory make it more sweeping. One of his torpedo boats probably sunk the cruiser Pallada. Of the eight Russian destroyers which left the harbor seven will be out of action for the rest of the war. The battleship Czarevitch at Klaochou has been dismantled by the Germans. The Askold, protected cruiser, which reached Shanghai, was given a short time for repairs, after which it must either dismantle or leave the port. The Russian battleships which got back to Port Arthur are in a bad way.

protected cruiser In the world, la beached in a sinking condition at KorSakovsk, Island of Sakhalien, after a two days’ running battle with the Japanese cruisers Chitose and Tsushima. The Japanese sustained small damage. Tho fate of the Russian sailors is not known. Russian advices received at Chefoo aay that two Japanese assaults on Port Arthur were repulsed with tremendons losses. It is added that the Attempt of the Japanese to capture fort No. 1 cost them 10,000 men and that their attack on Fort Etseshan resulted in their Igslng 3,000 men killed or wounded.

REMARKABLE FEATS OF THE WIND AT ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS.

Banked broken glass up in the streets like frozen snow. Lifted several huge roofs far in air, replacing one neatly. Blew heavy skylight downward inside of high office building. Pulled big trees out by the roots as if they wore young onions. Compressed rain water'into solid mass, so it swept through upper stories of high buildings like a heavy wave. Clipped high church spire off and set it up on the ground close by. Ripped business signs loose and carried them into-neighboring rival stores. Ground and beat glass store fronts to afine powder. ' • Drove light straws through heavy planks and tin roofs by force and compression. Prostrated all electric wires and wound them many times around trees and Itouses. Lighted two cities as bright as midday by continuous intense shimmer of lightning.

RAINS IMPROVE CORN.

Principal Producing States Experience a Favorable Week. The weekly crop report issued by the weather bureau is as follows: The drouth prevailing in portions of the central valleys in the previous week has been relieved by abundant rains, but drouth continues in central and western Tennessee and is beginning.to be felt in the middle gulf States and over a considerable part of Texas. The central and northern Rocky mountain districts and the north Pacific coast region are also suffering from drouth, the prevalence of forest fires being reported from Idaho and Montana. The latter part of the week was too cool in the lake region and unseasonably low temperatures occurred in the northern Rocky mountain districts and upper "Missouri valley -on Aug. 21 and 22, but elsewhere east of the Rocky mountains the temperature has been favorable. The principal corn States have experienced a week of favorable conditions, abundant rains having fallen throughout the corn belt, except in portions of Ohio and Nebraska. Corn has made satisfactory progress in the States of the Missouri valley and is generally improved in the central Mississippi and Ohio valleys, although a considerable part of the crop in the Ohio valley has been injured beyond recovery. In the middle Atlantic States and lower Missouri valley early corn is nbw practically matured. The spring wheat harvest is generally finished, except in North Dakota and northern Minnesota, where rust is continuing to cause great injury. Rains in North Dakota in tlfe latter part of the week interrupted harvesting. Harvesting is also nearly finished on the north Pacific -coast. The general outlook for cotton is somewhat improved as compared with the conditions reported the previous week, although shedding continues in every State and rust is prevalent in the centra 1 and eastern districts. The unfavorable effects of shedding and rust, however, are less pronounced than were reported last week. In Texas the weather conditions were favorable, but the crop continued to deteriorate as a result of rust and shedding and damage by insects. In this State injury by boll worms is decreasing, but the boll weevils continue very destructive in the southwestern, central, eastern and coast divisions, having caused the entire absence of bloom in many localities. Picking is quite general in Texas, except in the north portion, and is in progress in the southern portions of the central and eastern districts of the cotton belt. In the middle Atlantic States and New England tobacco has made favorable progress, cutting being well advanced. While the crop has been shortened by drouth in the Ohio valley, late rains have improved the outlook in that section. Tobacco is making good growth in Wisconsin, but is about two weeks late. Reports indicate a general scarcity ot apples in the-greater part of the middle Atlantic States and central valleys, but in New England, New York and the lake region the outlook is more favorable, a good crop bening promised in the two last-mentioned sections. The reports respecting potatoes indicate that a good crop is generally promised in die more important potato-pro-ducing States. Drouth has impaired the outlook in portions of the Ohio valley, however, and rot and blight are increasing in Pennsylvania. Throughout the central valleys and middle Atlantic States the soil is in fine condition for fall plowing, which work is in general progress and is well advanced in some places.

The Comic Side of The News

Japan’s board of-strategy, on the contrary, appears to be getting results. That British mission which intends to retire from Tibet is still intending to retire. The Hague tribunal is still shut down, but the Krupp gun works are going day and night. International law appears to be about ns lucid ns law made by the ordinary Stnto Legislature. Just the power of habit may have caused the latest outbreak against law and order in Colorado. Some Constantinople humorist has cab)(*jl4t ns a matter of news that the Turk is evading his promises. If Mrs. Maybrick misses her inheritance she may have to turn her attention to elevating the stage. The optimistic person who thinks he can change tho popular pronunciation of “Niagara’’ to “Ne-a-gar-ra,” with the accent on the “gar,” is probably the lonesomest man on the earth. Unless Russia differs greatly from other nations some desk strategists in the home war office are already pointing out how much better they could have done than either Stoessel or Kuropatkin. Pennsylvania barbers, it is said, will refuse to cut the hair of a man who shaves himself. This brings up the question, will a wife who trnly loves her husband learn to cut his hair for him?

COMMEPCIAL AND FINANCIAL

I The latest advices Follow York reived by the InternanCl lull. (ional Mei . cantn? Agency show that there has been littls change in business conditions during the week except in districts especially affected liy reports of crop damage and disturbance incident to the cut in steel prices. Business on the whole shows up well, and in most retail lines is fully holding its own. In certain sections of the West trade has b»en decidedly stimulated, with improved distribution and a generally hopeftfl feeling. Commercial centers are beginning tc feel the impetus of summer travel, and buyers are flocking to distributing points, disposed to buy liberally, although with marked discrimination. Tjiis is a good sign and shows that replenishment this year will be conducted along conservative lines. More seasonable weather throughout the Southwest has led to better results in many lines, especially in dry goods and various branches of apparel. Boot and shoe orders are in better volume, and jobbers in hats and caps are forcing factories to work overtime to keep up with current business. This improvement has extended to the clothing industry, the outlook for which in some sections was reported uncertain a week ago. Less stock than usual is believed to have been carried over in many lines, owing to the known conservatism of prominent dealers. Their experience last winter led to the greater care exercised this year in avoiding the “overstocking evil” with spring and summer e goods.

R. G. Dun & Go's weekly CiliCdUO review of Chicago trade * * says: Business developments have not run evenly, although taken as a whole there is indication of progress toward further activity. The agricultural situation is not yet clearly defined, and. conflicting reports as to present condition of growing crops, while unsettling recent estimates, cannot be seriously entertained until corroborated. It appears highly probable that there will be a diminished surplus of wheat available for export, but there Is no just apprehension as to a great corn yipkl. Prices of the three leading breadstuff's now average one-fifth more than a year ago, wheat alone being'29 'cents higher. Speculation in the latter cereal has created its highest quotation ip some years, but its altitude discourages buying aud invites violent reaction. A more healthy feature is found in provisions and live stock, both exhibiting recovery from the late depression in values. Current dealings in the manufacturing and distributive channels reflect wider demand. Cutting of list prices may be followed by increased orders for wire and nails, but more satisfaction is derived by local producers in the new commitments closed in iron and steel, which reached a Iqrge tonnage in structural material, raijs and pipe. Wholesale transactions were stimulated by augmented numbers of Interior merchants, who selected freely in staple lines for fall consumption. Receipts of live stock, 248,774 head, are closer to the normal. Prices closed 10 cents lower for sheep, but gained 25 cents a hundredweight in both choice beeves and hogs. Bank clearings, $116,159,415, are 8.3 per cent over those of same week last ytear.
