CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Horse meat has been

come from diseased and broken down
animals unfit for labor and purchasabie
by the men engaged in the nefarlous
traffic at from 81. 80 to s2 per horse. This
sale has been without the knowledge OF
the sanitary officer of the channel, who
said the sale OF horse meat on the channel
had never come TO his notice.
So serious has the situation become Dotn
as TO the use of this meat on the channel
and the expectation OF large quantities, as
canned goods, to foreign countries, that
complaint was made by foreign consuls
to Dr. +. w. Reilly OF the health depart
ment. The promise was given that so lar
as lay in his power, he would seek TO de.
stroy the traffic. Charles Henriot, consul
for Belgium, and DIR. Il. Bopp, vice-consul
for Germany, were the foreign representa-
tives who called on DIR. Reilly. They
laid be fore him the facts in regard TO the
canning OF horse meats at summit ana
also on Archer road, just outside OF the
city limits, and also at Milwaukee avenue

Every Year Lactated Food Saves

The wisest course for mothers, whose

effects of the heat, is>to restrict their
diet to lactated food. In no other way Is
Il possible TO be SO certain of avoiding
niarrhoea and OF keeping the little ones

Lactated food should be given TO all
babies and young children who do not
eat with relish, who are weak and droop-

rich on such a hearty diet. And with all
its great powers of nourishing, II has

food an easy digestibility and above all
q taste agreeable TO the infant stomach.
Pale children gain color at once when
fed on lactated food.
Mothers no longer give syrups to still

given, bat great reliance Is placed by able
physicians on lactated food. In the great
majority OF homes in this country and
in Canada this best of infant FOODS has
found permanent place.
1t is perfectly prepared to be pleasing
to the weak infant stomach. Ii quickly

Thousands OF mothers know by expert
ence that lactated food surely prevents

attacks of these diseases.
1t is not safe to be without lactatec

WILL PURSUE HOLMES.
Province of Ontario Will Provide JUS
tice for Murderer Holmes.

TORONTO, Aug. I7-Deputy- Attorney
General Cartwright was seen this morn
ing regarding a second verdict OF murder
against Holmes, given last night by the
coroner's jury, but would make no
statement regarding any action the crown
authorities might take looking TO extra
dition OF the prisoner until he had con-
suited with acting premier Hardy. When
shown a press dispatch to the effect that
Holmes would be tried in Chicago, he
said he would prefer that course, but
thought the police OF that city had not
enough evidence TO convict; in fact, he
was OF the opinion that the plan emanated
from the cunning brain OF Holmes him
self, who was aware OF the slight charges
against him. He emphatically stated,
however, that should the United States
authorities fail to convict the prisoner
the Province OF Ontario would spare no
expense TO bring him to justice.
The coroner's jury evidence Is not
eligible for extradition purposes and a
week would be needed TO get the wit
nesses' evidence In written fo'm to get
papers made out here.

Authorities OF an Orphan Asylum
Told to Hand Out or Burn Up.

A brand-new set Of bad men were at
work in the city yesterday, but cld not

Coogan, claiming his home in New
York, was not doing anything when
found by the detectives that woul1 war
rant an arrest, but they thought that the
city would get along. better II he was
outside the lines. So he went. Mike had
a well-worn and once white card, Which
was ornamented with few lines, reading:
"Please give me a little something to
help my parents and family along. My
father Is sick with dropsy and rheuma-
tism. HENRY SMITH.
Another incident that mas been brought
to the attention of the police was some
thing of Importance TO Susan Coyie.
Susan lives on Lester street and Is em-
ployed by the Carpenter street mill, and,
by some sort OF an arrangement, William
Cotrelle of the North End draws Susie 3
pay.
Last Wednesday was pay day and Mr.
Cotrelle drew s7.40 for Susie. In the
evening a well-dressed and rather good
looking young lady called at Mr.. Cot.

| sent her for her weeks wages. This Is
| the story William told Susie, but Susie
| got no money and is still thinking.
The next in line is the case OF Alice X.
| Hicks. Alice lives at 179 Ocean street, and
| Just before dark last evening man, well
along in years, knocked al her door, ana
| when answered, he handed her bill for
| 1850, which he said was for work done

ordered by her father. The man said that
he had performed a IKE duty for Mr..

been dead for some time and that he was
fraud. When the man received this
piece of unexpected information h'
offered TO settle for 90 cents on the dollar

Here is something different: AT ii.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Burt r. Hyde
who died Of yellow fever at Swinburne
Island hospital yesterday afternoon will
be cremated at the crematory on Swim
burne Island today. His ashes will be
placed In an air-tight jar and handed over
to his family who reside at Rockville,
Conn.,, next week. Hyde was an elec-
trical engineer who went to Cuba on
business trip last October His business
took him to nearly all the principal
towns on the island. He Is supposed TO
have contracted yellow fever in Havana,
or at one of the small towns near that
city. Yellow fever is more or less preya-
lent at all these towns. He arrived at
this port last Monday morning per Mard-
Line steamer Seneca and was apparently
well when he arrived, but not being pro-
vided with a certificate from medical in
spector Burgess, he was transferred with
two other cabin passengers and z3 China
men to Hoffman Island for observation.
On Tuesday afternoon Hyde complained
OF not feeling well Health officer Doty
visited him and decided to transfer llfn
TO the Swinburne Island hospital that
same evening. Within short time yellow
fever symptoms developed. DIR. Doty al
once provided him with trained nurse.
DIR. W. l. Athey, who not only has had
yellow fever, but has also had large
experience In treating that disease, was
engaged to attend 10 the patient -aI the
hospital. DIR. Athey was untiring IN his
attention TO the sick man. 1t wGs hoped
that the young man would recover, until
yesterday morning, when he grew rapidly
worse and toward noon IL was evident
that he would not survive the day.
Shortly after o'clock in the afternoon
he breathed his last. Health officer Doty
has taken much interest in Hyde's case,
he being the first yellow fever patient
| coming under his observation this season.
| Mr.. Hyde was bright young man aged
| ~ years. His father and brother reside
| at Rockville, Conn. His brother visited
F, Quarantine this afternoon and had an
| interview with DIR. Doty as to final dispo-
| sition of the body. On consulting the
mans father, 1t was decided to cremate
| the body, viii n will be done today at
| Swinburne Island. The passengers OF the
Seneca detained at Hoffman Island viii
| be released next Monday monrnig. They
were reported all well this morning.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. H.-The report
of several shots in rapid succession was
heard TO come from the Office OF DIR. IL.
r. Holmes, at the corner OF Third and
Washington streets. The tenants OF the
building rushed in and found the pros
trated bodies of DIR. Holmes and DIR. Rob
ert Aushlund, each of whom wat holding
a smoking pistol in his hand. There were
no other persons in the room. Aushlund
had hole in his body and one in his
head, another in his breast and another
in his right wrist. Holmes was wounded
in two places, one ball having entered
an arm and another the body just below
the left nipple. Aushlund was taken to
the HOSPITAL and Holmes TO his residence.
Aush.und's wounds will undoubtedly
result fatally. 1t is not known what the
cause OF the shooting was, but 1t is
thought II was due to criticism by Holmes
of Aushlunds methods OF treating a
patient in the Portland Hospital, when
Aushluna called at Holmes office TO make
him retract.

MANCHESTER, n. H., Aug. IL. Liquor
war at Lake Massabesic has assumed
novel phase. The town line between this
city and Auburn, in Rockingham county,
runs right through the center of the
grove. The Manchester side is as dry as
a last years birds nest, while Auburn
has practically free rum. Sundays and all,
except when Derry Law and Order
League gets in its work. Every Sunday
thousands visit the locality and the Au-
burn barrooms do a rushing business.
One OF them is situated almost on the
line. General Charles Williams, who
owns most of the real estate in that vicin-
ity, proposes to take hand IN the con-
troversy by building high, tight fence
along the line from the Boston & Maine
Railroad track to the waters edge, thus
completely shutting out all natural APP
proaches to the Auburn saloon. 1t Is
said the fence will be demolished as fast
as built and that fun will follow. AS

stacles he may throw in their way would
