comes necessary for the defendants to
prove in order to justify their actions in
the premises is that the disease, actinO-
mycosis, is dangerously infectious or
dangerously contagious malady, and one
great element constituting the danger is
the liability that the meat of animals
containg the germs of the disease may
communicate the disease to human be-
ings who eat it.
1t is also remarked in the Introductory
that in a trial Of this kind much testi-
mOny as to facts having direct and
important bearing on the question at is
sue that could be introduced in legis-
lative examination or an extra judicial
investigation was not admissible as evil
denee in the trial of the cause in ques-
ton; consequently all the facts which
could have been brought to the attention
of the jury were not permitted to be in
troduced; for instance, q witness for the
plaintiff testified to the thoroughness tf
the meat-inspection system in the abat-
tOirs at Berlin and that cattle affected
with actinOmycosis are not condemned
Tor food in Germany.
The defense was not permitted by the
court to show by witnesses brought there
for the purpose that the facts regarding
COSTS in Germany for food, are that the
carcasses Of such cattle are classed as
fOurth-class or diseased meat, and are
sold as such to the poorer classes Of
people, who cannot afford to pay the
prices charged for healthy meat, and it
could also have been shown that of the
273 recorded cases of this disease in
man about 80 per cent. of these cases
are recorded in Germany.
The bulletin treats briefly Of the ex-
pert witnesses for the plaintiffs as fol-
lows: The plaintiffs called as experts
DR.. Frank 5. Billings, director of the
pathO- biological laboratory, Lincoln,
Ncb.; DR.. Olof Schwarzkopff, OF Minne-
sofa; DR.. X. w. Hickman, chief inspec-
tor Of the bureau of animal industry, at
Chicago; DR.. Frank G. Bourschiedt, q
physician and microscopist, at Peoria;
and DIR. A. VOgel, veterinary surgeon
of Chicago.
On the question Of the disease being
dangerously contagious or infectious
Drs. Billings, Schwarzkopff and Vogel,
FOR the plaintiffs, expressed their individ-
ual opinions, under oath, that the dis
ease was not contagious, consequently
not dangerous, but on cross examination
each admitted that the disease, acti-
nOmycosis, is due to germ or parasite,
which had been by various scientists
taken from the pus discharged from one
animal and inOculated into another ami
NAL, and there produced the disease con-
tanning similar germs, and DR.. Schwarz-
kopff admitted that he had, while expert
menting with the disease, inoculated an
animal and produced a tumor containing
the germs actinomyces.

the opinion that all cattle contract the

A Queen That Is u King.

No legal decision of ate days has such
an amusing look uron itS face as that OF
the High Court of Amsterdam holding
that the yoCng Cue n OF Holland must
be addrc sed as "King"
1t is based upon the peculiar wording
of the constitution, which declares that
the executive head of the stat shall be
called king, and says nothing about
queen.
To be sure it provides that, when las
now there is no mae heir. then a fe-
male may ascend the throne, but 1t no.
where speaks of her as queen, and the
court holds that she may not be so
called.
1t is fortunate that the judges did not
go SO far as to require her to wear
trousers.

Brief Review Of the Testimony.

The State Board of Livestock Com

a bulletin containing resume Of that
portion OF the testimony introduced in
the recent ease brought against them by
j. B. Greenhut and other members OF
the whisky trust" of Peoria, known as
the actinomycosis or lumpy-jaw cattle
case. bearing upon the question Of the
contagiousncss of the disease among
cattle, and from cattle to human beings,
and the unlitness of the flesh Of cattle
affected with this disease for use for
human food. The illustrations present.

IT is wrong to put the dough for
bread in a hot oven. The oven should
only be slightly warm, and then
heated gradually. This plan has
been tested by a London baker, who
asserts that the intense heat, sud-
denly striking the surface of the
dough, kills the yeast influence. which
should make the bread rise. He tried
an experiment by having the dough
put in the oven Of gas stove,
slightly warmed, and gradually in
creased the heat till it reached the
degree at which bread bakes. The
result was simply wonderful. Bread
baked in this fashion rises to amaz-
ing size, and the bread is of spongy
lightness.

HUGE PLOT, IN MEXICO.
PLANS ARE LAID FOR A GEN.
ERAL UPRISING.
The Church Party Implicated In n Con-
s?i-cty to Overthrow the Government
with the Assistance Of GarZa-MOve-
ments On the Frontier.
Garza's Operations a B,ind.

Advices from Monterey, Mexico, say:
The excitement here over the revolu-
tlOnary movement against President
DiaZ, inaHguratcd by CatarinO CARA, is
on the increase. II has been learned
here from an authoritative source that
there is to be Il general uprising of what
is known as the church party throughout
Mexico in support of revolution within
the next four weeks. 1t is also learned
from the same source that the recent
visit of Catarino Cara to the City of
Mexico was made for the purpose of
comforting with leading officials in the
church.
In beginning his movement last Sep
tember GarZa had no funds with which
to carry it on successfully, and he de-
pended solely upon the sympathy Of the
oppressed people in Northern Mexico 10
augment his resources. 1t is believed
here that he would have been successful
at that time had his attack upon Gu. rrcro
and Meir resulted differently. The rev
olutionists We're, however, scattered,
and Garza sought refuge in the mount
aims of Tamaulipas. While still in hid
ing he received a summons from a prom
incnt and wealthy Catholic citizen OF
the City of Mexico to come to the cap
ital incognito, and he would be given
funds to carry on the campaign in the
northern part of the republic, while a
plan of campaign would he mapped out
for the people of the Southern States.
GarZa answered the call and was well
received by the instigator OF the church
peoples movement, who, in addition
to supplying Garza with Il considerable
| amount of money, caused a secret appeal
for aid of the revolution 10 be sent 10 all
faithful and devout Catholics in the re-
public. Numerous copies of this pro..la
| nation have. been discovered here, and
are in the hands of the Government.
As a result of this understanding
President DiaZ has increased his vigil
ance and priests are being quietly ar
rested upon trivial charges in all parts
of Mexico and sent TO jail, from which
| not many of them will escape alive.
The belief is growing here that
Garza's operations along the ri.
Grande frontier was int. rded as i!iI:t.
TO draw tn" Mexican troops to that quar-
ter. when the real leader and ali army @.
| revo!utionists will appear in either IT,
Stat, of chihuahua or Durango and ;d-
vance on the City of Mexico.

Judge A. j. Seay. an Eccentric Old Bach
elOr, Draws q Prize.
Judge A. J. Seay, who was appointed
Governor of Oklahoma, has been on the
district bench in that territory for the
last year. He was originally appointed
from Missouri, in which State he was for
many years District Judge. He is an
old bachelor Of rather eccentric habits,
and is distinguished for his high piping
voice. AS Judge he was popular in
Missouri, and he has made quite a repu-
tation on the bench in Oklahoma. He
attracted attention some time ago by the
severity with which he dealt with vio-
lators OF the law prohibiting the sale Of
liquor to Indians,

brokerage in Offices.


At the regular meeting of the Woman's
National Industrial League that organi-
zation discussed and passed number of
resolutions bearing upon what it calls a
system of brokerage in vogue in the
different departments. 1t was asserted
at this meeting that hundreds of persons
holding public office, such as Senators,
members of Congress, and department
officials. have been and are in the habit
of having their servants appointed to
office when these officials go away for
the summer.
1t is also charged by this league that
in the War, State and Navy departments
the relatives of the servants of high
officials are also provided with places at
the government expense, and those
who are instrumental IN getting them
there share in the benefits 4accruing to
these people. AS an instance, one case
was related where coachman's wife
WAS appointed to a $50 place, and $25
was deducted by reason of this from his
salary.
Another case referred to was that Of a
Senator who is said to stand high in the
estimation of the people, who had four
of his servants appointed to Office during
the time when the Senate was not in
session, and he was, therefore, not in the
city. 1t was charged against another
distinguished person that he had wom-
an appointed to a humble position and
that she in turn does the entire family
washing Of the Senator without compen-
sation.
1t is claimed that this practice is car
ricd on to such an alarming extent that
even the women who are assigned to the
most menial duties have to pay tribute
by doing work for which they receive no
compensation, and that this system of
coloniZing five or six members of one
family under assumed names is carried
| on to an alarming extent. The league
threatens that unless the practice is
stopped it will publish the names of the
offenders.-Washingto Post.

The SO-Ccnt Dollar Problem.

10 the f4ultOr:
For informal ion. would be glad to have
your opinion OF this problem: man lives
in the United States. ON the border OF Mex
icG He buys 20 cents worth Of goods, hand
ing dollar In payment, and requests the
merchant to give him n Mexican dollar,
worth so cents for the change coming to
him. He now takes the Mexican dollar
across the line. buys 20-cent article, and
asks Il United States dollar. worth so cents,
As change. He keeps up this business all
day, makes his last trade in Mexico. and
returns with all the goods he has pur-
chased. and has precisely the same kind Of
dollar he commenced with in the morning.
He has the goods: he owes nothing. How
did the sellers get their pay?
j. G. r. MoNroux
This we understand to be one of the
knOck-dOwn arguments Of the intrinsic
value gold standard monomctalists, and
We are glad to answer it.
In the first place, that fellow never did
any such trading. People, no doubt,
live on the border between the two coun-
tries, but they are not fools. If a piece
of metal is worth 100 cents on one side
of the line, it will not be given for so
cents on the other side. If DIR. MOntOux
will cite tOuS a single case with the evil
dence that an American leSal-tender sill
yer dollar was ever sold in Il legitimate
transaction, either in this country or
any other for so cents, we will then be
prepared to talk about an S0-ccnt dollar
In other countries the American silver
Is not money, IT is true, and it is worth
in the market there only what the silver
in it is worth, but it will not enter that
market. because the owner knows that
in America it is good for 100 cents. and
he will take no less for it. barring the
cost of exchange. SO that back and
forth trading across the line is purely
imaginary; it never took place and it
never can.
But the friends of the double standard
are not caring for the amount of silver
put in dollar; make it more or less if
you will be the happier for it. What we
object to is the basing of our entire
currency, of our entire business. on the
diminutive gold dollar which is cornered
by the money power, and used as a
powerful tool with which to cheaper
labor and its products and crush the
productive industries of the country.
If silver had never been tried, if the
double standard had never been tried,
there might be some excuse for the howl
that is now used against it. But from
1898 to 1873 We had the double standard,
indeed, the silver was the superior
money, and measured the gold, to the
injury of no great class Of our people.
If gold had been demonctized in 1873,
instead Of silver, gold would now be the
S0-cent dollar; and if silver were re-
monetized, and given the same money
privilege with gold. both would b. equal
in the metal market, and you would
hear no more nonsense about an S0-ccnt
dollar When silver was demonctizcd
the productive industries, and especially
the debtor classes, were wrOnged, out
ragged. robbed, and in asking for its re-
monetizatipn they only ask IA return of
their own.--Progressivc Farmer.
