GOVERNMENT INSPECTION OF MEAT
Declared To Be Unconstitutional by Kansas
 Judge

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-The entire system of government inspection of meat which has been established in the pack ing houses of the United States was de- cared to be unconstitutional, ineffective and void in an opinion handed down in the United States district court today by Judge John Rodgers federal judge at Fort Smith, Ark, who is sitting for Judge Phillips.
 An indictment against Harry Boyer, foreman of the fresh meat department of the Jacob Dold packing company, charg- ed with attempting to bribe government meat inspector, was quashed on the ground that congress had no power to create the office of meat inspector; that even if Boyer had attempted to bribe an inspector, as was charged in the indict- ment, he did not commit offense against the government.
 Under the decision of Judge Rodgers, packers may disregard the meat inspect ors without fear of successful prosecution, because the law by which the inspection was created has been declared invalid.

NICARAGUA AND COSTA RIGA.
Condition of Affairs Causing Apprehension in
 Official Circles,

Washington, Feb. 28.-The condition of affairs between Nicaragua and Costa Rica is beginning to arouse serious apprehen- sion in official circles. as it is said to threaten to involve not only these two Central American republics into an armed conflict.
 The diet of the Greater Republic, includ- ing Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, has submitted a demand on Costa Rica for an explanation of the entrance of an armed force of 500 men from Costa Rica into Mic aragua- No reply has been given so far as Is known to officials here. The Nica- raguan authorities assert the 800 armed men entering from Costa Rica were not an au- thorized force, but were acting with the knowledge of the president of Costa Rica. If Costa Rica gives no explanation in re- sponse to the demand of the diet, 1t is feared serious trouble will follow.
 The real controversy between Nicaragua and Costa Rica is over the territory ad- jacent to the inter-oceandc canal. A re- cent incident has intensified the feeling oe the Costa Ricans over the boundary line. This was the arrest of MT. Bache, the Costlh Rican consul general to Nicaragua on the charge of being a rebel He was tried convicted and sentenced to five years Imprisonment, but subsequently, escaped. It is not generally known that Secretary Sherman intervencd successfully in this af- fair, and President Zelaya of Nicaragua releaseid Baphe. Since then Nicaragua. has published the secret cipher dispatches al- legged to have passed between Bache and the Nicaraguan rebels In Salvador, and these Nicaragua claims fully establish the charge that Costa Rica's officials were working to overthrow zelaya's govern ment

SPANISH ATRoCITY SHOULD CEASE.
Prvm.nen Minister Gives His Views on the
 Subject.

5 London, Feb. 2s.--Rev. Dr. Chas. A Ber- " of the West Queenstree church at Southampton, who visited the United States in October last chairman of the Congregational Union of England in an effort, it was said, to induce the United States Senate to confirm the arbitration treaty and also to advocate church union, replying to an influential American, writes:
 My view, and think it is generally held by rational Englishmen. is that the trouble in Cuba has gone on long enough. It is being fomented by men without the authority of Spain, while protesting against American interference. This state of things is kept up for the sake of a num- Der of rotten interests. Spain is not so much contumacious as powerless, and the United States government is the only power which can restore order, and with due regard to it's own Monroe doctrine and collateral obligations, the Washington executive is justified in insisting upon or der, even if it becomes necessary to super intend the management of affairs"

Both, as contractors, have been constructing a big tobacco warehouse near Gravel Switch. The men were on their way home from the ware house late Saturday afternoon. Cooley broke the silence by saying: Minor, am going to kill you right now. have been intending to end our little difficulty for some time. and there might well be a settlement of it here"
 Cooley then drew his knife and began to whittle on stick which he carried in his hand. He suddenly darted toward Minor and stabbed him in the neck. Minor quick ly drew his revolver and fired at close range, the bullet entering Cooley's head and crashed through the skull and into the brain.
