How about the Britishers? Well, the

cases of sickness and in many
instances death, resulting, as
alleged by physicians, from the
eating of tainted and diseased
meats.
AS the Stockman.Journal re-
marks, This is serious COndi-
ton of affairs" and it concerns
not only Fort Worth, but every
body else that uses its meats,
and that the city is going to try
to.. put stop to the abomin able
business is a fact that will be
welcomed by all.
And in this connection it
might be truly said that Fort
Worth is not the only city in
which this disreputable death
dealing business is carried on
there are others, and many Of
them.
No punishment can be too
great for those who wilfully en-
gage in a business so dangerous
to life, and they should be hunt
ed out of high as well as low
places, and be made to suffer
the penalty fixed by law for
prisoners for in that class they
of right belong.

OUR ELECTION.

Before another issue of The
News the general election will
have been held and the result
determined.
On the National ticket each
of the great parties, Democratic
and Republican, are today
claiming a "dead cinch"-one of
them is sure to get it, but which,
is too great a question for The
News to answer.
AS to the State there is no
doubt; Texas will go Democrat
ic.
Coming to the county, which
undoubtedly concerns US most,
as our intesests should always
begin at home, the result is also
in doubt. By saying in doubt
it is not at all intended to con-
vey the idea that our election
for county and precinct officers
may result badly for such can
hardly be the case as some OF
the candidates have already
served well and all of them are
capable of doing so. The doubt
expressed here goes not to the
character of, but to the person
mel of our next county govern
ment. OF the county govern
ment proper, Trigg ard Coffee,

A DEATH.DEALING BUSINESS.

The Fort Worth health officers,
in company with United States
inspector, recently visited some
of the cold storage plants in
that city for the purpose of ex-
aiming the meats held there
for sale. The outcome of this
investigation as detailed in the
Fort Worth Telegram, and also
mentioned in the StoCkman-
Journal of that city, is far from
assuring to the consumers of
that section or any other section
for that matter into which these
cold storage meats go. a por-
ton of the report. as found in
the Stockman Journal, reads as
follows:
"At several places meat was
found that was evidently to be
sold, which was not in fit con-
dition for eating. One piece of
this meat showed beyond all
doubt that the animal was
diseased before it was killed
and in another case the carcass
was so bruised that blotChes
had formed on the inside of the
animal. On the second animal
it was seen that the ribs had
been broken and the animal was
probably in state so near
death at the time of its killing
that a very slight blow was
needed to extinguish the spark
Of life. Some Of the meat was
also very old, but this is excused,
as the meat was for the private
use of some who are DESTROYS of
having the meat as near a state
Of decomposition as is possible
to get it,

have been rather forced upon

Under the present election
law it requires some time to

HERE and THERE.

Joe Mulhattan, famous lew
years back as writer of mar
velous fiction, is now at San
Francisco, physical as we'll as
a financial wreck. Twenty
years ago "Joe" was drummer,
being writer of fiction on the
side, and so popular did he make
himself that he readily at that
time commanded Il salary OF
sl5, 600 year with expenses,
which are said to have quite
equaled his pay. In those days
he was known as "royal good
fellow" then Everybody was
his friend;" now, he is alone in
his misery and sadly neglected
by those he favored in the cold
days" if not entirely forgotten
by them.
In the heyday of his career
Joe Mulhattan had plenty of
cash and It's said Of him that
there was ''neyer a friend who
could not borrow bis money or
obtain it rs gift upon almost
any plea of necessity But the
!
life of good fellow" was too
much for Joe, as it is for all big
hearted brainy men; his vitality
pegged out and then his nerves
got shaky and finally his brain
became muddled: then his money
flowed away from him as water
and with it went ''his friends. "
We might well say with Goal
Oil JOHNNY whose experience
with such friends cost him sew
eral millions and left him alone
as is the case of Joe Mulhattan:

such friendsn'
