MEAT SCANDALS IN BERLIN.
Condemned Goods Sold to Cheap
Restaurants and Working People.

Restaurants and Working People.
The Department of Ayr culture has Just
received information concerning the re-
cent meat scandals in Berlin. 1t appears
that for years the diseased meats con-
demned at the Berlin slaughterhouse as
unfit for food were sent to rendering es-
tabIishment for destruction. Complaints
were not infrequently made that on the
way from the slaughterhouse to the rem
dering establishment this condemned ma
terial was stolen and placed upon the mar
ket
The "AlIgemeine Fleischer Zeitung'
called attention time and again to these
frauds. and when. upon more than one oc-
casion. this paper was sued for such
statements, 1t proved that they were cor
rect. Finally, Berlin appropriated 10000
marks for erecting building in Connec-
ton with the slaughterhouses in which
all condemned meats should be either
cooked and then sold at reduced price
TO the poorer classes, or in case it was
too badly diseased to be sold even in a
cooked condition, it should be destroyed.
Notwithstanding this. in 1897, another
scandal developed. IL was charged that
the diseased meat was not thoroughly
cooked before being sold to the working
mems families, and as a result of the local
investigation, several policemen were de-
tailed to help the one policeman who had
previously been employed in keeping
guard over this diseased meat. Some
months ago the butchers reported to the
police president of Berlin that the regu-
lations were being continually violated.
but apparently no attention was given to
this complaint until fierce fell from a
dealers wagon on the streets. and out
came quantity of raw diseased meat,
bearing the condemned stamp. The eel
lars of this dealer were searched and large
quantities of similar diseased meat. unit

The Y. NJ. C. n and Corcoran Cadet
basketball teams played the last game
scheduled for them in the league series
last night. and the former celebrated the
occasion by winning by the score of 3 to 8.
The game marked the first victory for
the association team this season. and as
result, the players and manager were
jubilant.
The game was not as interesting as the
closeness OF the score seems to indicate
At the end OF the first half the score stood

last half the Cadets got together and
rolled up six to the winners three points.

A portion OF the German press has
taken much pleasure in repeating and ex-
aggerating the reports of frauds in the
meat trade of the United States. but for
tunately there has never been any proof
of such frauds in this country as are now
reported from Germany, and the German
officials might obtain some valuable hints

Mr.. Pritcbard Enquiries About Delay
in Street improvements.

In reply to letter of enquiry from SEN
ator ]. c. Pritchard, with reference to the
opening OF New Hampshire Avenue, the
District Commissioners have given reasons
for the delay in executing the work
Senator Pritchard complains that nearly
year has passed since the passage of the
bill authorizing the improvement, when the
measure distinctly states that condemna-
zion proceedings shall be instituted within
ninety days from the passage of the act.
The Commissioners state in reply that
the court has been busy With street extern
sion eases ever since the acts providing for
such extensions were passed. and that the
cases have been taken up in the order in
which they appeared in the acts.
1t IL stated that il is impossible to take
up more than one case at a time so that
the proceedings are necessarily slow. The
Commissioners express the hope no yeyer.
that the case in question will be reached
soon.

Among the tens OF thousands
who have used Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy for colds and la

to our knowledge, not single case
has resulted in pneumonia. Thos.
Whitfield & Co., 24o Wabash ave-

prominent retail druggists in that
city, in speaking of this, says:
"We recommend Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy for la grippe in
many cases, as it not only gives
prompt and complete recovery,
but also counteracts any tendency
Of la grippe to result in pneu-
monia." For sale by City Phar-

Commercial colles. New quarters.

Patrons and friends of the Com
mercial College will be pleased to
learn that the school will open
after the holidays, in the beautiful
and commodious hall OF the
Dougherty building, directly op-
posite the postoffice. The small
and divided rooms on the third
floor Of the original building have
caused much disadvantage to the
classes since the patronage be.
came so large. The matter oil
students being required to climb
two flights of stairs has also been
considered Objectionable, so tha,
upon the whole the school is to be
much congratulated upon its new
location. One hundred and fifty
pupils can be accommodated on
the spacious floor If necessary, thus
obviating the expense of teachers
for seperate small departments,
and putting the entire school under
the immediate supervision of the
principal.
The building Is new, clean, and
modern in accommodations, hav-
ing water piped to the second
floor, is connected with sewer and
has inside toilet room, cloak room,
etc. The music and typewrisine
departments have slso very pleas
ant rooms separate from the main
ball. The change Of location will
doubtless be the means Of increas-
ing the already large attendance.

More Changes.

+. c. Fox, who has been ap-

ing from Dodge City to Canon City,
will establish his headquarters in

Offices will be located in the depot
building in the room formerly oc-
cupied by the car clerk, the latter's
quarters having been moved across
the way over the readi & room.
The despatcher's force will also
be doubled January Ist The force
now stationed at Ration will be
transferred to La Junta, and all
trains south will be har die fr, m
this point after the first OF the year.
1t is rumored that a new train
master and new chief dispatcher
will also be installed on January
Ist. Chief Dispatcher Burns sent
in his resignation over two months
ago, and desires to be relieved
1t is also reported that plans for
new frame building, 4ox7o feet in
dimensions, have already been
drawn, and that construction will
be commenced early in the year.
The structure is to be located be-
tween the depot and express Of
fice, and will be occupied by the
superintendent, chief dispatcher
and trainmaster with their office
forces. The rooms at present oc-
cupied by those officials are to be
turned over to the Harvey House,
which has been cramped for ac-

a Sugar summary.

the following summary OF the
sugar season in the valley, which
closed two weeks ago:
/ Length of season, two months.
/ Tons OF beets received, 1000.
| Average per cent of sugar, ~.
| Average per cent OF purity. So.
| Average price paid per ton, s4.S3.
/ Paid to growers, over s2oo, 900.
i The sugar has been OF the first
quality and approved everywhere.
| A much larger acreage is wanted
next year. Send in your applica-
.ion early.
| The company will reserve fair
portion OF the contracts for new
settlers, which are expected in
large numbers.
4 The hrst campaign has far sur
passed expectations in every re-
spect except the acreage. Many
of the farmers lack I'd faith IN ihe
industry and either did not plant
at all or put in small acreage. The
reports OF large Yields however,
are coming from all parts OF the
valley and the high average per
cent Of sugar for the valley insures
big profit to the raisers, in fact
the crop has proved the most profit
able that has ever been raised in
the valley. Another important
i point is that the farmers are now
thoroughly convinced that the
Beet Sugar company is doing busi
ness strictly on the square, and is
using every endeavor to assist the
farmers in making a success OF the
industry. The company will prob
ably enlarge the capacity of the
factory next year and be in shape
to handle 100000 tons OF beets
during the usual running season.
At the price paid this year this will
mean about 800, 900 to be dis
tributed to the farmers of the valley,
and the effect of the distribution
and circulation OF this large sum
will be felt by every industry and
business located here. Therefore
every business man should appoint
himself committee to help in
crease the acreage and get new
settlers to come in and plant beets
i The Beet Sugar company as an
inducement to get farmers to come
here and raise beets makes the
liberal offer to return one half the
railroad fare and freight on house
| hold goods from any point on the
Santa Fe route to the Arkansas
Valley to any settler coming here
for the purpose OF raising sugar
beets. With the wonderful ad-
vantages offered by this valley in
every line of agriculture, the special
profits which are afforded by the
i great sugar beet industry, and this
liberal rebate of one half railroad
charges by the company, it ought
not to be any trouble to induce
settlers to come into the valley.
| The company has shown dis
position to do everything in its
power not only to help the farmers
make success Of the industry but
also to encourage new settlers. 1t
is now up to the people to do their
share.
