CHICA9O, 111., Oct. 4.—The sensatiou on
the board of trade this in rning was the
announcement t <at the clique had g >ne
before Judge Shephard and secured a i in

in pretor to prevent him from issuing
certificates on newly packet October
pork. lh- clique yesterday mor -
iug received and paid for

sold to the clique it low pric s. T e high
priced pork tendered them on late deliv
eries yesterday was refused, and an injunc
tion to prevent its delivery was asked for.
THE INJUNCTION VERY SWEEPING!.
The injunction is not only ag .in-t the
official inspector, but all of the ollicers of
the board of trade, provision iuspectio i
committee, the packers i id virtually, a id
everybody conee ued, clear down to the
h>g itself. Tue testimony on which
the injunction was issued was ex
parte, the packers and the board of

inju icti in, besides pr mi i mg the delivery
of the pork, also prevents the directors from
disco Jini ,g me libers tor refusing to lake
the pork. Thi latter p ii.it has been decided
often tiefore in the lower and higher courts,
and little importune* was at ached to it.
The Court* have always, up to date, c >n
ceded the board the rig t todi cipline mem
bers for infrac.io is of the rules.

the time to take it. Be sure to get Hood’s

not pass a pump, well or spring without stop
ping and partaking copiously. Once waen out
driving in his buggy, he m ta country friend
opposite a well w .ere teams were accustomed
t > stop for water. His friend, at his request.
Ailed a rather dilapidated bucket, w Ich stool
at hand, and passed it up to him. The searns
of the bucket were a little leaky, but tlie squire
was very thirsty, so he took it eagerly and set
to work drinking. As pint af er pint of tile
liquid disappeared the fnen 1 stared ooen eyed,
but still the squire drank on until, with a
hearty sigh of satisfaction, be han ed it back
em ty. Thu f send, who either thought that a
man who could and, ink sucu an lmmens-amo int
at one time must nave a i unlimited capacity or
lse misinterpreted the sigh, said urgently;
"Have ’notner pai.ful, squire? You didn’t git
more’n half on't into yer.”
It was this inordinate size of body and thirst
that came near ending S- 1 uire Ball s life in a
very sad fashion. Ouce, wuen out fishing with
a eighbor, he lay down on the hank of the
stream to drink. Tue pitch of the b ink added
to the perfect rotundity of the squire's figure
m vie such a position a trifis dangerous, and
wnen he bent over to drink, tue change in the
center of gravity threw nlm into tue stream.
The peculia-ity of the accident made his com
p nion laugh, and the more the squire -trug
ged the funner he looked and hii friend only
laughed the more, until final y the squire grew
so tired with his struggles, and tne friend so
weak fro n laughter, that It wa only with
difficulty that the former was rescued.
