Bomb throwing is getting t,
be a favorite pastime in Europ,
and unless one has had a boml
thrown at them they are un
worthy Of public notice. The

F. D. Coburn, a typical Kan

by Governor Koch of that state

made a worldwide reput alton as

The report of the conditions
existing in and around the
packing houses at Chicago has
been transmitted to congress
by President Roosevelt, who
suggests levying a tax On each
animal slaughtered in order to
meet the necessary expenses,
owing to an increased force of
inspectors. The report was
startling, disgusting if true,
and the conditions existing in
Chicago packing houses should
be corrected at once, as the
health of OUR people is in grave
danger. O: course the packing
house managers deny the ac-
cusations but that does not
make it true, and what we
want is the truth of the matter
50 that congress may act eau
tiousl.y and eSneditieu:sIy. The
presidents inslstence will prob
ably force immediate action
whore protection was bound to
come anyway sooner or later as
a permanent policy and neces-
sity.
Of course the condition Of
the packing houses in Sioux
City. Kansas City and Omaha
may be better. 1t is so easy to
bllndfold the public even hide
the facts from people investi-
eating those plants, if they
were not insistent. Just think
of the filthy condition of those
packing houses and the en-
ployes it is enough to make
one vow never to eat meat un-
less one was present at the kill
ing of the animal and the dress
ing of the carcass.
The exposure must have it's
good effects for our law maxi
ers will have to bow to public
opinion in the near future.

Friendship goes a long way,'
said one of the officials of the
Pennsylvania railroad when
asked the other day to account
for an accumulation of coal
stocks thrust on him by gener-
Gus and open-handed coal op-
orators and promoters. Accord
ing to this official, William
Augustus Patton, certain boy
hood friends of his interested
in coal properties could net
sleep nights until they had as
slred themselves that he, too,
Should reap the fruits Of their
sagacity and business enter
prise. Out of the depths of a
disinterested and romantic af-
fection they loaded him down
with coal securities valued at
100000. Among the many
sordid and depressing revela-
tions of business greed and
sellishness which have come to
light in recent Investigations
this little idyl of steadfast 10y
atty and more than fraternal
devotion stands out in com :
forting relief. 1t breathes the
spirit of those great and high
minded affections which poets
celebrate and which the liter
ature of all nations enshrine.
One of the most touching of
Bible stories IS that which tells
Of the friendship of Jonathan
and David. In David;s lament
for his fallen comrade he de-
clares: "Thy love to me is WON
derful, passing the love of wo-
men," And Jonathan also gave
some practical and material
evidences of affection, for the
book o! Samuel tells us that
the day the two young mon
first met Jonathan stripped
himself of the robe that YVES
upon him and gave it to David,
and his garments, even to his
sword and to his bow and Cir
dle.' Times change, but the
spirit of romance survives. The
testimony given at Philadelphia
last week only brings the David
and Jonathan legend up to
date. If Jonathan, instead of
being a kings son and warrior,
had been promoting a lumber
enterprise in the forests of
Palestine, and David had been
a traffic manager in the chief
OK car line to the nearest
market, we can we'll imagine
that the former instead of
pressing his military outfit on
the latter might have been
prompted to convey to him
with equal sincerity and fervor
a comfortable allotment of
lumber stock preferred.
Might as we'll have a bomb
thrown at you as to eat Chicago
meat, if reports are true.
The publicity given the pack
ing house report had it's effect
yesterday in pounding down the
sales of fresh meats forty per
cent in Chicago. Foreign sales
of canned packing house pro-
ducts were almost at a stand
still, and now comes a manager
OF a large packing house who
makes the complaint that the
report will weaken public con-
fidence well it can't be helped
for these Investigations will
teach cleanliness and the prin-
ciples of the law to those in

Superior street. The usual
variety of fancy costumes af-
forded much amusement. Aft
er the ladies arrived they were
invited to stand underneath a
large paper bell. The hostess
then pulled the string and sew
eral hand painted cards, each
one containing a number and a
lady's name, scattered to the
floor. The guests then took
their places and anold fashioned
spelling school was indulged in
for half an hour. Mrs. J. B.
Lyons was the lucky "speller''
and she received a typography
plaque. The hostess then called
the attention of the guests to a
spider web which completely
covered the doorway of the
back parlor. Each one took a
string, with the admonition to
follow it to the end. Some had
to follow it all over the lawn,
others all over the house, in
fact in every conceivable place
When the end finally was
reached, each one found a small
card cut in fancy shape. When
the cards were placed together,
four of them were found to fit,
so in this way the ladies found
their partners for supper.
Small tables, each decorated in
pink roses were then brought
out and an elegant supper was
served by the hostess, assisted
by Mesdames Sargent, Giddings
