Claim New York Can Slaughter Beef as
Well as Chicago Millions Quiclclj'
Raised For the Purpose of Estab
lisliinp; a Mammoth Slaughter
House in New York.
Nnv Youk, Aug. 23. The executive
committee of the retail butchers' pro
tictivo uf sociotion met last night to con
eider menus to fight the Chicago whole
salers. They decided to recommend the
ralsinc of a fund of fo.000.000. Of thie
sum $3,000,000 ie to be raised by the re
tailors themselves mid $2,000,000 by pop
ular subscription nt Jfl n ehnre with a
mnsriinum holding by any one person of
twenty shares. When the committee
went into session, it hud pledged sub
scriptions of $700,000. When it had
finished thie hud been increused to $1,
000,000. President Wagner said that
there was no doubt whatever that the
entire .jli.OOO ,000 will be quickly raised
by the retailers in New York alone.
President Wngner bbvb the price is not
fixed by the market conditions, but by
caprice. Wngner nloo declares that 60
per cent of the slaughtered beef is avnil
able for food eupply und the rest has to
bo disposed of for various uses, but little
ie lost. He save this city is more favor
ably situated for the prolitable produc
tion of this product than any of the
Western cities. He eavs cattle can be
shipped here and mure economically
slaughtered nud placed on the market
than in nny other city in the country. It
is asserted by the retuilurB that thore are
available hero for slaughterers more
than 11000 men who have been compelled
for different causes to leave the butcher
business und get into some moro proDt
ablo calling.
When nsked what truth there wns in
the rumor that John Ilockerfeller, Will
iam C. Whitney and other great capital
ists had oirered help to fight the trust,
Wagner said n committee was now try
ing to meet Mr. Rookerfeller, but he is
out of the city nnd has not been areeeii
ble. Wagner did not know what Mr.
Whitney intended to do. He rays n
number of wealthy cattle men have
agreed to come forwnid the moment the
venturo takes tangible shape nnd take
large blocks of the Etoclc. President
Wagner said the executive committee
would not yet recommend n site, lut
that a majority of the members favor
'our blocks that have been ofTered in
bong hlnnd City. Mr. Kahn prophesied
that the "trust" would be asking for
terms in a very short time.
both President Wngner and Mr. Kahn
laughed at tho claim of the trust that it
has to pay more for cattlo now and that is
thu cause of the rise in the prices of its
meats. Both say the Btockraieera are
complaining bitterly that they are
Betting none of the benefit of the higher
toef prices, but that on the contrary
they are at tho mercy of tho trust, which
they say is scaliiiK down the prices for
tock.

From Svlvan Vullev News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of tho various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet ns a preventive of suffering
wh feel it a duty to eay a good woid for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera nud Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. Injmany cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while n physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for u cure, but we do
believe ttint If a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea lietnedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much nuffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience
during tho past twenty years. For sale
