Philadelphia, July "a preliminary

pointed to investigate alleged dis
elimination in the distribution OF coal
cars, as revealed at the hearings or
the interstate commerce commission,

The committee says that the testi'

operators of bituminous coal mines,
situated on the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania company, less than ten opere-
ors in all have testified that they be-
lieved themselves to have been unfair

REBATE CASES APPEALED.

Railroads and individuals Desire to
Escape Sentence at Kansas City.
Kansas City, July 3.-The following
steps in tie United States district
court here in the rebate cases were
taken when appeal bonds were per-
fected upon behalf OF the seven con
victed individuals and concerns, and
when bills of exception were filed for
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad company and George l..
Thomas, the New York broker. and
his chief clerk, l.. B. Taggart. Bills
of exception had previously been pre-
scented in the cases of the Armour,
Swift, Cudahy and Nelson Morris
Packing companies. The next step
will be the filing Of the bills of ex'
ception with the court of appeals,
which will be done at St. Louis on
Aug. 81.
In the Ease of the Burlington road
the exceptions taken apply particular
ly to the allegation of the defendant
that the interstate commerce act does
not apply to export rates, which ques'
ton is involved, and that this district
court lacks jurisdiction.

No Piano in Mcpherson County.

Lincoln, July 3.-According to the
records in the office of Secretary Ben
nett of the state board of equaliza-
ton there is no piano in Mcpherson
county. There was n last year, but
a cyclone came along and put 1t out OF
business. There has been a big in
crease in the number Of pianos in
Nebraska. The total number of pianos
in the state last year was 24,572, with
an assessed valuation of $759,594, or
$3O.91 each. The number for the year
1906 will be increased to more than
10000. 1t is safe to say from a study
of the returns that the amount OF
money actually spent for pianos by
the people of the state is about SlO,'
600, 000.

How Thorough, with Increased pow

Washington, July 3.-Secretary VIII
son of the department OF agriculture
has decided to postpone his annual va
cation until he has completed the or
ganization necessary to put into opei'
alton the new meat inspection law
by direction OF the president, Secre
tary Wilson issued the following state
ment:
American live stock are the health
lest in the world. The great ranges
Of the west produce herds of cattle III
which the percentage of disease is re-
markably small and the federal gov
eminent Is steadily reducing by ap'
proved scientific methods this small
percentage. The inspection OF animals
before and at the time OF slaughter
has always been thorough. 1t is true
that the department of agriculture has
heretofore lacked the power n the
money to provide for an efficient SUI
pervision and sanitation OF the meth
DDS OF preparation of canned meat
food products. The legislation which

department with adequate power to
carry It into effect. Supervision In
spection will be extended from the
pasture to the package. The federal
stamp upon the ear will be a guaran'
tee not only Of the healthfulness OF
the animal, but also that the product
was prepared in sanitary surroundings
and with the addition of no deleterious
chemical or preservative. Any meat
food product bearing the government
stamp will be fit for food. With this
law in operation 1t may be accepted as
a fact that for healthfulness and pur'
fly the prepared canned product viii
compare favorably with the fresh
meat Of the United States, which is
and always has been the finest in the
world. The new law Is comprehen
sive, the means for its enforcement
are ample and its execution will be
thorough. People at home and abroad
may use our meats in confidence"
