MEAT INSPECTION BILL.

While the inspection of the packing
houses and the publication of the find
ings may have had bad effect or
the business at first, the passage of
the law by congress will be splendid
advertisement both at home and
abroad. Secretary Wilson made'the
following statement;
The supervision and inspection will
be extended from the pasture to the
package. The federal stamp upon a
can will be a guarantee 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 chemi-
calls or preservatives. Any meat food
product bearing the government
stamp will be tit for food.
With this law in operation it may
be accepted as fact that for health
tulness and purity the prepared or
canned product will compare favor
ably with the fresh meat of the United
States, which is and always has been
the finest in the world. The new law
is comprehensive, means for it's en-
forcement are ample, and its execution
thorough. People at home and
abroad may use our meats with con
fidenc6

JUDGE SMITHS OPINION.

To representative of the Nonpar-
ell, Judge Smith expressed himself as
follows when he returned home after
adjournment
More important legislation has
been passed by this congress than by
any other since the reconstruction
period, said Congressman Smith; sit
was the busiest in the history of the
government, a greater number of
measures having been put through
than during any previous session.
While theoretically congress cannot
extend its own powers or those of the
general government in point of fact
this session saw an extra ordinary wild
ening OF the exercise of federal power.
The meat bill and the pure food bill
mark great progress in the direction
OF government inspection, while in the
rate bill great step is taken along
the line of national control.
In reply TO question as to whether
the rate bill in the form in which il
| finally became law represented the
| views of President Roosevelt, he said
he believed that it conformed with the
presidents ideas as they now are. 10
the course of time the bill has heen
written and rewritten q great MANY
times, but the same end has been kept
in view all the time and the discussion
had finally, he thought, brought a
good bill around.
The appropriations made are
large" he continued, but this is
chiefly due to the large necessary ex-
penditures for the Panama canal and
on account OF the San Francisco fire.
The appropriations for the canal a.
lone amounted at this session to
$4l 600, 600

THE TRAGEDY IN LINCOLN.
Jealousy Caused Ernest koehnke tc
Commit Murder and Suicide.

The young man who committed both
murder and suicide up in Lincoln last
week, was Ernest koehnke instead OF
the name given in these columns Ia
| our last issue. In referring TO the
| tragedy the Manning Monitor has the
following: Koehnke had been keep
ing company with Miss Fisher for
some time but her parents objected to
him and as she was dutiful daugh-
ter and cared nothing for him, she
told him she could keep company with
him no longer IL seems that this
made him desperate and as he had
several times seen her on the street
with her friends he also grew very
jealous which undoubtedly was the
cause OF his rash act.
About 10 O'Clock Koehnke left Man.
ling and walked to the Fisher home
where he laid concealed about the
premises among the bushes until
about 2:30 a. m. when Chas. Paulsen
and his sister who accompanied Miss
Fisher home, drove into the ward.
Mr.. Paulsen got out of the buggy TO
assist Miss Fisher la alightinp but
when he got around to her side of
the buggy she had got out. He start.
W D1Sh w WIG puEEJ duu was
about to get In he noticed a man go
ing toward Miss Fisher who, when
about three feet from her pulled a re.
VOlver and shot her through the
heart, after which he fred two shots
into his own head, either one of which
would have been fatal AS soon as
be could manage his team he ran to
Miss Fisher but could do nothing for
her as she was dead. Then turning
to the man he discovered it was
Koehnke. He Immediately notified
the girls parents and they carried
her into the house but the body of
Koehnke laid where it fell until the
arrival OF the coroner this morning. +"
Coroner Jensen, who responded to
a telephone call at three O'Clock
Thursday morning empaneled a Jury
consisting of Messrs j. A. Campbell,
Gustav Jens and +. r. Mclaughlin
who heard the facts above stated.
Mr.. Jensen brought the body of
Koehnke along down and shipped it
TO pes Moines at the direction of the
State Board of Health, under the law
that all unclaimed bodies may be used
by the colleges for purposes of dis
section. The State Register saws
that the remains we're decomposed to
such an extent by Sunday that they
we're buried in the Potter's field The
probabilities are however that they
were inferred in vat at some one OF
the medical colleges in that city!

THE SECOND FOURTH IN AUDUBON.
Held Saturday Afternoon and Evening Attended by
Crowd Equal to that on Wednesday. Good Music by
Extra Band Splendid Display Of Fireworks.

Two Fourths of July in one year;
| two celebrations in one week evident
ly put the town of Audubon at the
head of the list for free entertainments
In the year 1906. When the heavy
rain came on at three O'Clock We'd
nesday afternoon and made 1t adyis-
| able to call of the program for the
evening, there was much disappoInt-
ment-not because of what was done but
because of the rain that made il nee.
essary. The disappointment was Just
as keenly felt by the commercial club
who had the celebration in charge as
1t was by the people who had come
a long distance to see and enjoy it.
Some one made the suggestion that
another be given on Saturday after
noon and evening so as to complete
the program. To do so with success
it would be necessary to secure an
other band To get band would
take more money, "A committee
started out and in couple hourss got
over eighty dollars and the band
So the matter of a second celebration
was settled ia time to advertise il in
the papers.
HAD BEAUTIFUL WEATHER,
Saturday morning came in with the
same beauty and promise OF fine wealth
er as Wednesday. While some were
fearful, most were hopeful OF having
beautiful day A few were Just
sure that it would rain before three
O'Clock. But il didn't rain and the
weather all day and evening was a
bout as fine as it could be made to or
der. And the people came. BY the
time the program opened there was
large crowd on hand to enjoy it, And
they kept coming until evening when
there were fully as many as at any
time on the Fourth
THE THREE WILLARDS.
The first on the program was the
entertainment by the Three Willards,
which gave the most general salts
faction just as it did on Wednesday
The performance of these people Is a
good show in itself. Their work on
the slack wire Is an exhibition of re-
markable skill. For one to walk such
wire requires much training; but
for two and then three to do so de-
mands the most skillful practice.
Then to place a bicycle on the wire,
to climb on to il and ride is still more
difficult. But to take single
bicycle wheel and ride that on the
wire is feat we have never seen ex-
celled. AS contortionist, the woman
gave performance that elected the
most favorable comment because OF
the variety of movements and skill she
exhibited.

DRILL AND FIRE WORKS.

The Foresters of the Modern Wood
men gave an exhibition drill in their
new uniforms, but owing to the i'll
ness OF Captain Roberts, who got oul
of bed for the purpose, it was not SC
extensive nor so complicated as tn,
team has given on former occasions
The fireworks In the evening wer,
attractive and watched by a large
crowd of people. Some of the designs
were entirely new and much appre
ciated
While the crowd were enjoying the
fireworks they came pretty nearly
having some that were not down or
the bills. One of the rockets dropped
on the roof of John Weighton's cement
house and happened To hit spot on
the roof that had been mended thai
day with fresh tar which blazed up
and promised big fire. But small
boy who saw il gave the alarm ano
somebody climbed up and pounded il
out with his hat, The FIRE department
responded quickly but fortunately
were not needed
The EXTRA BAND.
The committee on music for Satur-
day were very fortunate in securing
the Extra Band, to which the large
audience listened with great deal OF
pleasure as they played during the
afternoon and evening. For a town
OF its size, Extra has one of the best
bands in the state, and one of which
many towns three or four times as
large would be proud.

GOOD WORK in CONGRESS.

AT the close of most memorable
session congress has adjourned. The
session has continued since the first
OF last December, period of seven
months. Matters of great Importance
have engaged the attention of that
body. The laws enacted have affected
large interests. The opinion of Presi-
dent Rooevelt which he dictated after
the adjournment is worthy of con-
sideration by every patriotic Ameri-
can citizen. The President said:
In the session that has just closed
congress has done more substantial
work for good than any congress has
done at any session since | became
familiar with public affairs. The leg
islation has been along the lines of
real constructive craftsmanship of the
most practical and efficient type, and
bill after bill has been enacted into
law which was of an Importance so
great that it is fair to say that the
enactment of any one of them alone
would have made the session memoir
able. Such, for instance, were the
railroad rate bill, the meat inspection
measure, the pure food bill, the bill
for free alchol in the arts, the con
sular reform bill, Panama canal leg
islation, the joint statehood bill, and
the natura IL ation hill
Il certainly have no disposition to
blink at what there is of evil in our
social, industrial or political life of
today, but it seems to me the men of
genuine patriotism who genuinely
wish we'll TO their country, have a
right to feel profound satisfaction in
the entire course OF this congress. /
would not be afraid to compare its
record with that of any previous con-
gress in our history, not alone for wis
dom, but for the dsinterested high
mindedness which has controlled it's
action. 1t is noteworthy that not
single measure which the closest scru-
tiny could warrant us in calling of
doubtful propriety has been enacted.
And on the other hand, no influence
of any kind has availed to prevent
the enactment of laws most vitality
necessary to the nation at this time"

PROSPERITY MISSED AT BREAK
FAST,

In his recent address to the Iowa
bankers at Cedar Ripids, Robert b,
Armstrong the late assistant score
tary of treasury, presented some very
striking thoughts. Among other good
things he said.
lone of these mornings you will
miss prosperity at breakfast. There
will be many excuses for her absence
from her usual place. One will say,
bad crops, another will say, over
production, another will say, 'abnor-
NAL extension of credits. But none
of these will be the real reason,
though they may be contributary.
The real reason will be an epidemic
of fear, of timidity, of distrust, pro-
duced by unwarranted, continuous
attacks upon every instrument of
progress and development which has
made and is making this country
great. Fortified as this country is
with its unparalleled prosperity, the
nation has so far withstood the as
saults upon the developing agencies
which have produced our boundless
prosperity; had there been less cush-
ion for the impact, financial and in
dustrial depression would already
have over taken us. No commerce
can keep its courage in the face of the
of politicians, yellow
journals and the envious.

MUST REMAIN IN PRISON
Supreme Court Refuses Supersedeas
Pending Action in the Sher-
rick Case.
Palladium Snecial1

Indianapolis, Ind, May 15.-The
Supreme Court today refused to
grant a supersedeas pending appeal
in the case of David E. Sherrick. No
opinion was pronounced except the
word denied" indorsed on the back
of the petition.
The court was asked to order the
prison authorities ito release him
from such Imprisonment in such pen
itentiary pending this appeal and un-
til the final decision thereof upon ap-
pellant's giving bond in such sum and
with such surety as this court NAV di-
rect, that he will obey and perform
all orders and judgments that may
be rendered herein
The two grounds on which the ap-
plication was based were that the evil
dence conclusively shows that Sher-
rick did not receive the money as Au-
ditor which he was accused of embez-
zling, and that one juryman. Louis
Held, had misled defendants attor-
neys by saying that he had not form
ed nor expressed an opinion on Sher-
ricks guilt when, it is asserted. he
really had done so.
