German Meat Inspection Law

The hardships from the German meat
inspection law have been made more
severe by the regulations ordained by
the German federal diet in regard TO the
entry of foreign meat and bacon. As
these regulations and the excessive fees
for examining the imported articles
make their entry well-nigh impossible
citizens have petitioned the imperial
chancellor and the federal diet to
ameliorate the regulations by reducing
the inspection fees and accelerating the
examination of meat-stuffs. The petit
TONERS assume the position that the
chamber of commerce of Breslau took in
its petition to the German government
on the same lbject The wholesale and
retail meat dealers and more especially
the people Of Germany. suffer from the
inhlbitory tendency Of the regulations
and charges.

don the stage for politics. and she did
She was made enrolling clerk OF the
Kentucky senate in recognition of her
work 10 the 1896 campaign.
Afterward she gave valuable assist
ance to Senator Blackburn in his cam
paign for reelection. The contest was
one of the hardest seen in Kentucky in
many years, owing to the predominant
ing influence of republicans in the state
government at that time. Miss Ingles
was associated with Senator William
Goebel in behalf of Mr.. Blackburn, and
eventually they won. She was partic-
ularly skillful in learning the plans of
the opposition. and kept the Blackburn
forces informed in advance of every
move.
Personally Miss Tngles is handsome
She is a distinct brunette, tall and slen-
der. and in speech Is both pleasing and
convincing. She has a happy faculty
of bringing her arguments to such a
climax that her meaning cannot be
misunderstood. She is clever in repair
tee. too, and has never yet been put to
confusion by the questions propoundeG
by skeptical hearers.
In this connection it may be stated
that the national committees of both
parties have no other item of expendi-
ture comparable with the sum paid for
campaign speeches. II is expected that
when the campaign is fully under way
no fewer than 5000 political orators viii
p.aced upon the stump by each of the
national committees. As at least five
times as many "spellbinders" will be
mustered by the state committees. the
aggregate number Of exhorters will not
fall much short Of 10000 Some of the
speakers receive $3.50 week, together
with their expenses, while others will
accept no money for their services. but
allow their actual disbursements to be
made good.

was caught for considerable loss,
when George McCoombs disappeared,
says that the woman who signed the
name Mrs. George McCoombs" to the

AN IMPORTANT COURT.
Davenport Branch of Federal Court
Soon To Be Established.


Soon To Be Established.
Des Moines, May II. - 1t is stated
by the federal court officials now in
Des Moinas that the Davenport branch
of the southern division of the United
States court will be one of the most
important of the i've cities in which
cases are now tried. George M. Chris
tian, United States marshall for the
southern district, has not as yet APP
pointed a deputy for the new court, and
will not until he has been notified of it's
establishm ent. 1t is the feeling that
the new place for the transaction Of
federal business will be above Keokuk
for the reason that a great part of the
Keokuk business has been in the past
drawn from the territory which will
now comprise the newly formed dis
trict.
Mr.. Christian has already been
swamped with applications for the Of
flee of deputy marhsal for the new dis
trict, but has not had time or authority
to make any advances in the way of
an appointment as yet.
