An Octogenarian.

w. G. Stempel left last Tuesday eve
ming for Ft. Madison to attend the
annual reunion Of the Stempel family
which is held on the Fourth of July, it
being his fathers birthday. The Gem
City has the following concerning this
happy event:
"Dr. Herman F. Stempel has the honor
of being born on the Fourth of July,
and for number of years has cele-
brated his birthday by holding an infor-
NAL reception at his home in this city.
On these occasions it is the custom of
his many old friends to call and pass
the compliments of the day with him
and partake of his hospitality. 1t is
also time for the gathering in of the
children and grandchildren which takes
on the form of a family reunion.
Yesterday was no exception to the
custom and DIR. Stempel received his
friends as usual. There was, however,
an item that had not been down on the
program in former years, which took
the doctor completely by surprise. At
the proper moment George schlapp on
behalf of a number of old friends, in a
neat little speech, presented him with
a gold-headed cane. The response made
by the doctor was brim full of good
feeling and thanks for the beautiful
gift.
"The doctor was eighty-two years
old, but is in the best of health and
spirits, with not gray hair to indicate
that he is growing DID,"

The new anti-pass law which went in
to effect July 4th is creating conster-
nation among many of the Iowa doctors
who hold the positions Of members of
the county insane commission and on
the pension examing board, as in many
geons for the railroad companies. The
physicians must either resign from their
Offices or give up the free transporta-
tion which they receive from the rail-
roads and some of them are having a
hard time deciding which they will do.

rooms at 106 Madison street, where
every courtesy was shown us, and a
piping hot breakfast was waiting for us.
Breakfast over the party divided up,
the larger portion accepting an invita-
tion from the big packing houses to
visit their plants at the union stock
yards, while those who did not care to
go to the stock yards were taken for
spin in automobiles through Washing.
ton and Jackson parks, Grand Boulevard
and Michigan Avenue. A special train
conveyed the visitors to the stock
yards, where the packers received them
and took them through the big plants
OF Swift & Co., Armour and Libby.
McNeill & Libby. In view of the recent
disclosures made through President
Roosevelt as to conditions at the Chi
cago packing houses, the visit was of
exceptional interest, as the big meat
packers wanted to show the editors that
conditions were not as reports would
indicate. We were taken through the
plants from one end of the business to
the other, commencing with the stock
pens where cattle and hogs were being
started into the packing houses, then to
the killing rooms where we saw one
man killing hogs at the rate of 900 an
hour and then followed the carcass un-
til it was placed in the cooling rooms,
the killing operation occupying but
few minutes until the animal was ready
to cool out, and it was wonderful
sight to see how quickly and easily they
were handled, every man having just
certain part to do. The same was true
of the beef killing, and small army of
men were at work keeping the buildings
clean, all having been freshly painted
or white washed and we failed to find
any very dirty conditions at any of the
plants. We also witnessed the canning
OF the various products, but the meat
was all cooked and came rushing down
into the cans through big tube and
we could not tell what all was in it, but
we are not eating canned meats to any
great extent. The big packers realize
that great deal of sentiment has been
aroused by the published reports con-
cerning their business and they are
spending hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in their efforts to make good with
the meat eating public. After spending
several hours in the packing houses the
editors returned to the press club
rooms where luncheon was served and
we had the pleasure of meeting and
hearing some celebrities, including
Mayor Edward f. Dunno, who welcomed
! the party and other prominent citizens
of Chicago. At the noon luncheon
served in the press clubs dining room
