THE BEEF TRUST.

Positive CONSERVATION begins to
reign over the country at the price
to which the trust has forced meat.
The government has become arOus-
ed and is now trying to undo some
of the mischief which it has aided
these seattle kings" to accomplish.
One way in which the government
has assisted these men to gain such
enormous wealth that they are
now too powerful to be throttled, is
by leasing great tracts OF unoccu-
pied public lands in the western
states to private parties as grazing
lands. The cattle ranchDen have
fenced in vast areas of public lands,
some by permission of the Depart
ment of the Interior, some with
out any legal right, and in return
for a trifling rentral or none at all
have kept possession of these
broad acres and raised innumer-
able heads of cattle at the most
trihing cost. Tie railroads too
have assisted materially in the sue
cess of these men.
1t is reported from Washington
that the bill Of the government
against the meat trust will depend
strongly upon vOluminous aud
most conclusive proofs which it
has obtained Of illegal rebates and
other determinations which the
trust has enjoyed at the hands of
the railways. At a time when
meat has reached such phenOm-
cnally high price, the tempta-
ton is always stronger to sell dis
eased animals and so there is to-
day more danger in eating un.
healthy meat than at times Of or
binary prices.
Here in the South we are in a
better condition to fight the trust
in the only sure way than the
Northern States are. In the first
place our climate makes meat less
necessary, then we have much
larger range of fruit and vegeta-
bleS at lower prices than those of
the Northern States. No one
need suffer any real loss of health
or strength by boycotting the meat
trust, beans, wheat, oats, rice, corn
and other cereals properly cooked,
furnish all the nutriment necessary |
to keep any ones syStem in per-
feet condition. We eat meat be-
cause we like it, not because we !
cannot do without it. In fact many |
people would be healthier if they |
ate less animal food.

THE JUDICIARY.

There seems to be disposition
on the part of the Legislature tt
change the judiciary districts o.
the courts, and in some instances
it may well be proper and wise,
but when it comes to putting s.,
Mary, TerrebOnne and LatOurche
in one district we are opposed to it
for the reason that there is no
judge that will be elected who can
attend to the matters of the pro
posed district properly. The judi
cial districts in this section OF the
State have been changed number
of times and we believe that the
present district as it stands to-day,
composed of st. Mary, is to the
best interests of every one, and
that ST. Mary should remain as a
district.
AS to the Circuit Courts we
endorse the recommendation made
by Governor Heard in his message
to the Legislature, that there
should be two circuit districts, out
side of New Orleans, one Judge to
be from the Northern part of the
State and one from the Southern
part.
For the benefit of the public and
those who are not familiar with
the amount of work that the 23rd
Judicial District, composed of st.
Mary, has to attend to, we publish
the following affidavit from the
clerk of court, and we venture the
assertion that there is not a district
in the State, outside of Caddo, that
has had as many cases tried and
disposed of than the district which
compose st. Mary:

Old Comrades OF q. A. R. Attend the
Annual Memorial Service at Uni
tartan Church Sunday Evening
MEMORIES MOST DEAR RECALLED
Rev. Florence Buck breaches an Eloquent
Sermon to the Soldiers. the w. r. C.
and the Sons of Veterans.

Memories most dear were recalled by
the members of Fred S. Lowell Post
G. A. r. Sunday evening when the old
soldiers, the mem bers of the w. r. C.
and the members of the Sons of Veter-
ans met and marched in boGy to the
Unitarian church, where the annual
Memorial Day service was held. The
service was of most impressive ma
ture and one of the most beautiful SER
vices of the kind ever held in Kenosha.
The ranks of the old soldiers are an
nua1ly growing smaller and this year
many new graves will be decorated at
the cemetery, and Sunday evening
many of the familiar faces were
missing.
In honor of the service the church
was appropriately decorated with flags
and flowers and special seats were re-
served for the different patriotic bodies
attending.
While the audience was assembling
the organist Of the church played a
medley of patriotic airs.
After the invoca ton the entire audi
ence joined in the singing of the ma
tiona1 hymn, after which an anthem
was sung by quartette.
A canticle of commem grafton for the
departed soldiers was then read by the
minister, the entire congregation TAX
ing part.
Then followed the scripture reading
and prayer, after which beautiful an
them, 'Still Remembered" was rem
dered by the choir.
In her sermon Miss Buck spoke from
the subject, "Our Nations Memorial
and It's Obligations. She spoke in a
touching manner of the memories
called forth by the annual gathering
of the old boys in blue, of the call to
arms, the long tramps through the
Southland, of the battle 6eld and of
the bivouac. She spoke of the thous-
ands that were left sleeping when the
fight was lost or won, and paid trib-
ute of love and honor to the memory of
the unknown dead. She spoke of the
g1ories of victory and the gloom of de-
feat, all now blessed memories of a
past which was only recalled on ac-
count OF the honor that the men who
had taken part in the great struggle
had won.
She spoke also of the obligations of
today. The men who had offered their
lives for the preservation of the Union
were still giving their lives for the up
holding of the principles which they
had fought for on the field of battle.
After the sermon was over another
national hymn was sung. afeer which
the old comrades marched back to the
Post hall and distanded.

WILL vACCTNATE ALL RACINE.

Authoritiessto Invade Every House in City
to Search for Smallpox Patients.
Every resident Of the city of Racine
will be vaccinated at once at the ex-
pense of the treasury and every build
ing will be inspected by competent
physicians as a result of the alarm
over the smallpox situation.
The disease continues to spread,
there being at present 40 cases in the
city.
The Board of Health and the Com
mon Council at a special meeting
Monday nights decided to engage
physicians to visit every house in the
city. If people are found afflicted
with smallpox the house will be quar-
antined. Special watchmen will be
engaged to see that no one leaves these
houses and ifoany attempt is made to
do so arrests and prosecutions are to
follow.
1t was found today that the disease
had spread to the townships of Mount
Pleasant and caledonia. Children at
tending schools have been stricken
and there is great alarm among the
farmers, who called upon the local
health officers and asked for advice.
The township officials stated that un-
less immediate action was taken the
schools would have to be closed.
The Board of Health after the
council meeting held special confer
ence and recommended larger quarters
for an isolation hospital, as there were
now twelve patients and only one
nurse in the present quarters, and it
would be necessary to send four more
patients to the hospital tomorrow.
Two additional nurses were also
recommended.
