SALE OF BAD MEATS.
Testimony Showing that Bull Beef and Dis
eased Hogs Have Been Sold for Food.

The special committee of Council and alder
men yesterday continued the investigation Of
charges against Sanitary Officer Barker, who, it
is said, has failed to inspect meat in the market
properly. Charles Reiffel said that it is not an
uncommon thing for bull meat to be sold on the
market He bought there dressed veal and lamb,
but no beef The butchers who did this were
Grossly, Crawford, Gardner & Wabnitz and
Hoffner. The wholesale butchers, too-Tip-
shank Cal Kuhn and the Ysegers-he said, dealt
IN this meat This was three or four months
ago. He also mentioned among the retailers
who disposed of bull beef Jacob Reiffel, Frank
Quiezer Gus Rake, Meek e. Reed. He
did not call any ones attention to
this violation of the market ordinance
because it was none of his business, but he had
seen Barker pass by stalls when such meat was
exposed He could not say whether Barker
knew its quality. Reifde said that cholera hogs
were also sold extensively by Gardner, Crosby,
Herman May and Gus Rake. He did not know
of any cancer-jawed beef being sold. No one,
after the head has been cut off, can tell whether
the beef came from a cancer-jawed animal or
not The meat is sometimes very fine. but he
would not sell or eat it if he knew it. BullDeef
was better than meat from an old cow. He felt
sore ABOUT GSrdnerS action In buying up ali the
calves and running up the price. This, in his
opinion, was against the law of the land. Bar
ker had passed by bad meat.
August Schmidt and others certified as TO the
sale of bull beef and the meat of crippled animals,
but did not particnlarize the dealers. Following
these came several witnesses who gave, Barker a
good support in saying that he was a careful
and efficient officer, and that they did not know
OF any bad meats being sold. The committee
will meet again Thursday and consider the ques-
ton of oleomargarine sales.

empt to form similar organization in
our midst. Professor Careless has now
received the sanction of the church
authorities to go ahead with the forma-
ton of a society devoted to the study of
classic music and oratorio. and as he is
thoroughly in earnest about it, he will
doubtless make strong success of the
venture. With the musical talent
among the MormOns, there is no reason
whv they should not have a chorus of
from 300 to 500 singers, the most of
them good readers, and equally no
reason why the Tabernacle Choir should
not be recruited from its ranks aud

right man for the work of concentrat-

we wish him all success in his efforts.

A Afssionary's African Relics

from Africa, were their owners. 1t was

was cap made from a monkey skin,

The speaker then attired himself in
theworking dress of the native African.
This consisted of square piece of cloth
with blue background, on which were
displayed grotesque floral designs with

The missionary then spoke of the rude
idolatry or fetishism practiced by the
natives, and closed his remarks with an
appeal tor greater earnestness IN mis-
siOnary work in the churches.
