The following letter, whloh haa been
received by Rcprvenntat-iva Tawitcy
from mi employe of the Chicago stock
yards, explains itself, mys the Wash
ington Star:
"The Inst 13 years the Chicngo pro
duction of oleomargarine, butteriue
and what not. luis steadily iuerenseil,
while the bygreaso products of packing
houses have steadily decreoHh lu
former )vn all kinds of grease prod
ucts were procurable for manufactur
ing purposes.
"Lubricating fats, inferior fata for
soap manufacturing and low grade
grease of all kinds were on the market
for any .purpose desirable as well aafor
export, but lately this has all been
changed, and-the demand for so-called
oleooil or ftit has so increased that'the
ntoek yards plant has introduced deo
dorizing processes, so that all kinds oi
inferior fats and offal can be turned
into products which go into the manu
facture of oleomargarine and buttr
ine. HereiwChicngoarenunierouafao
tories turning out so-called butter at
Driees-from eiirht to twenty cents a
pound.
These factories are in no way con
nected with the stock yards: they are
always in the market as purchasers of
stock yards fat products. The trick
and mode of doing business is as fol
lows: "The melted fat and beef lard is saved
carefully: then transferred ln nicely
painted wagons to the various factories
In the city. This part of the process is
all right. But how about the thousands
of barrels of oleo oil that leave the
stock yards in nicely iron-bound, var
nished barrels? Many people think it
is for export. Not so: these barrelsare
filled with anything that can be proc
essed and deodorized and turned into
oleo oil, and then delivered to the fac
tories. When these barrels are emptied
they are returned to the grease pro
ducers and filled again. Ibis is the
principal ingredient in the much-ad-rertised
grade of finely colored butter
ine on Hie market at the present time,
which is carefully gotten up for the
retail trade.
"So much for the production of floe
grade butterine in the city factories.
How about the product of the packing
houses or the stock yards? That is put
on the market in bulk packages. In
these every fnt product that cannot be
disposed of otherwise Ambits way into
the butterine, and is shipped nil over
the country and sold as low as eight
cents a pound. No tallow is sold from
stock yards nowadays. Bntterine
demands it all. Soap manufacturers,
aanrtle manufacturers, etc., have to
leek their stocks elsewhere. Horse
tillers and dead animal contractors
xnd fertilizing producer furnish soap
stocks, etc. This is the observation
it 13 years as an employe of the
itock yards, where I have seen the busi
less of oleo and butterine grow till
iverything in the fot line has been and
is being utilized in its production."

Meaasaje on an Army Blaenlt Daring
the Late War Leads to a Sol
dier's Mnrriasre.
An interesting romance which was
brought about by the Spanish-American
war has just come to light in
Franklin, Pa. When war was declared
William Barber, who lived with 'his
parents on a farm a few miles from
this city, came to Franklin and joined
ponipany F, Sixteenth regiment, and
went -with his company Fo Camp
Meade, where he was accepted foi
service against Spain. The army ra
tion of hard tack soon became tire
some to uarber ana others in tne
company, says a local exchange, and
while on his way to the national
camp at Chickamanga he conceived a
plan to secure better food. Hs wrote
his name and company address on a
piece of hard tack, together with an
appeal to some good southerner to
send at least one square meal to camp.
Hanging out of the car window he
threw the hard tack at the first house
the train passed. It fell into the
hands of the daughter of Col.. Kay,
who, with her father, appeared at the
Chickamauga, camp the following
Sunday with a -big baskot of food.
Barber. was invited to visit them and
he did so whenever there was oppor
tunity. The colonel owns a rioh plan

ried the daughter ami kas gono U

An Exposure of the Difference be

John D. Nutting, Secretary Utah
dospel Mission Cleveland, O,, and a
Pastor In Utah from 189a to 1898.
Prom the Union Gospel News.
"Hormonlsm is a great fareo tragedy,
That Joseph Smith was a oonsclous and
willful deuoiver hard I v admits or uoubl.
His life ended in a tragedy, as likewise
did those of most ot bis followers : and
Mormonism has been chiefly a farue of
doctrine and a tragedy ol llteover since.
And there will be no end to the sad
drama ol darkened Mormon souls until
this faroe ot false, doctrine Is olearly
shown up, both to themselves and the
world.
"There lies before the writer two
oards of Mormon 'elders, having on
their baoks the so-oalled 'Artlolos of
Faith of the Church ot Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Salntsor Mormons. Now
it is olear that a genuine creed must
contain all tho essential beliefs which
make uu thesvstem for whloh it stands,
and none which It does not beliove.
But this oroed does neither of these.
In all Its thirteen articles it does not
olearly bring out even one distinctive
Mormon doctrine, while it does lay
claim to several truths which are dis
tinctively Christian acd radically op
posed to Mormonism. This oreed was
first published by Joseph Smith, at
Nauvoo, III.. In 1842. in Soptembdr ot
whieh year ho fled for his life faots
whloh taken together with its evident
oharaoter, lead many to beliove that it
was put forth as an intentional blind
for proteotion trom popular anger. It
was never adopted formally by the so
called 'ohuroh' until 1890 a time when
recurring dire need of public favor may
have proved a similar motive to 'holy'
aeceptioo.
"It is time that every one should
know both these faots and tbe real
teachings ot tbe Mormon system, so far
as ihey can aeoeutiy do printed, f or.
it is these beliefs whloh make up the
Mormonism whloh is so industriously
seeking to replace both Christianity
and free governm nt by its own evil
power. In the following lines Mor
monism Is allowed to speak for Itself,
in tho person of its greatest prophets.

rell acquired some wlsnem concern
ing the disadvantage at aasoorfaMng,"
too intimately with bears, for bis :
experience he traded two fingers.
There was a orewd arouad the bear
pits watohiag the huga aaiatals, who
were close to the ban, bagging for
dnfntics, when Farrell cams up with
a bag of peanuts. Formerly he was
employed aa an aamistant ia She park,
and ha knew the animals, or thought
h knew them. Ha Immediately
pushed through th crowd in front
of the pit where th polar beura are
kept, aad climbed the rail there.
lust as Farrell was explaining that
he knew all about tha anltiuila the
first hear to nrrive took into his
mouth the offered peanuts and the
hand that held them. There was a
shout of pain and terror from Farrell
nnd a growl from the other bear,
which was also trying to get a grip.
The flrstbear mails no remarks: juat
hung on like grim death to the hand
until Keeper Hoey cam up with a
heavy bar and hsmmered him over
tho nose and head. Then ho backed
off, growling furiously. They took
Farrell over to the refreshment houso
nnd seat for nn ambulance that took
him to the -Flower hospital.
The surgeon said that .there wasn't
enongh left of tha middle finger of
his right hand to be ef aay use, and
that th third finger would very like
ly be lost, too. Bnt for the Interfer

would - doubtless ' aav drawn the
