Horse and Dog Meat in Germany


Germany Government statistics
show that 43,421 horses and 2l5l
dogs were slaughtered for food I'M.
der Government inspection during
the first three months of 1906. This
was an increase of 1922 horses and
366 dogs over the number slaugh'
tered during the same time in l9Oo
And this only accounts for the dogs
and horses killed under Government
supervision. 1t is estimated that
among the poorer classes, forced &c
resort to dog and horse meat by the
exclusion OF American and other for
eign meats from the country, the
consumption of this sort of meat was
much larger than official records

TRUE CITIZENSHIP.
By Harr.A. G.kyle.

\ man $ conception of his relation
 ship to his fellow men is determined
 by his respect for their institutions
 and their laws. Laws are made and
 enforced by community of which
 the citizen is a component part. His
 duty as citizen in his relation to his fellow men is to see that good laws are enacted and that they are en- forced. A man who simply obeys the laH through fear of punishment, and who takes no interest in it's enforce nlcat, is q citizen of low type and q menace to his country. \ citizen Who c0Hniye5 and schemes 10 have a law
 enacted that will grant an unjust and
 special favor, or seeks to eEaae q la#
 64 creating or raising technicalfes which are seemingly without the iH-
 teffa er pale of the law for selfish i gain is q moral criminal. He is net
 a citizen but traitor 10 his country. Good citizens employ legal counsel in order that they may better obey tlle
 law. instead of finding way to eyade it. \ citizen does most for his fellow
 men when he assists in the enforce ment of all the laws. One of the
 greatest evils that dwarf citizenship is the combination aud standardization I-of forces in the business world, which enlists capable men, who become sub servient to every material interest oI the combination and the questionable
 methods employed to accomplish the ends desired without regard to the welfare Of the community.

the late William N and Julia tWickliffe9 Beckham.
Studied Law Alone.

After his service as page in tn" legislature, young Beckham went to the Central university at Rich- mond, Ky, but was compelled to give up his studies and go to teach ing, While thus engaged he stu died law alone, was admitted to the bar when ? and, as stated, chosen to the legislature without opposi- tion. This was in 1893.
 He was reelected in lH9G and 1S97 and was chosen speaker in 1A9S.
 It was in 1896 that Mir Beckham made his famous ride in behalf of his friend, Senator Joseph Black burn. He had been elected to fill an uneXpired term. but the Repub- lican officials of Nelson county, in order to aid William ]. Deboe, Re publican, in his contest for senator against Black burn, withheld Beck ham $ certificate until the last tram had left for Frankfort. Every vote was of great importance. as there was a tie in the house.
 If Beckham was not present the Republicans might organize the house and secure control.
 He received his certificate after dark on cold, stormy night, but, nothing daunted, he took a buggy and rode 60 miles in the night, ar irving at the capitol in time for the opening of the house, much to the licanS

Becomes Governor.

In 1899 he was nominated for heut enant governor OH the ticket with William Goebel. The contest was bitter and memorable one. On the face of the returns the Goe- bel ticket was defeated and the ceftfGe&f4 Of election Was given to Wm. $. Taylor and John Marshal, he Republican nominees Goe5el contested the election beforo the
 ata lzsislature and dQriaa the contest Goebcl waz aszassinated. AIr Beehham was theeeman declar- ed elected and dulg faaa4uratod. IT. la99 he defeated John w.

 Beelsham's administration as gov eaaaf las brun . remarkable one. Ttns Goebel machine that seated
 l3eel1ham undertook n dictate to the foHHS governor as to appoint ments and his administration gen erally when he completely rebellod against their authority. From that i day Governor Beckham had the re- lentless opposition of the cid Goebel | machine with Senator Blackburn. Senator McCreary and National Committeeman WoodsGn at it's head, bat he utterly deied and eventually routed tEe whole Goe- bel gang, horse, fool and dra- { goons."
 As against the old machine Beck ham built tip new machine of his l own. composed of his personal fol 1 lowers, and so far has been able to withstand and defeat all attacks from all quarters. Senator Black burn has been retired and will be succeeded by Judge Paynter, an eminent Kentucky iurist, and Sen ator James B. McCreary has just been deefated and will be succeeded | by Governor Beckham himself
 Governor Becllham' political achievements are thus briefly eX- plotted by a Kentucky newspaper:
 "In the face of the most deter | mined opposition a strong detcfmi- nation upon the part of the older politicians to oust him as a young upstart, he not only held his own, but won every political battle. When it comes to politics, he knows the game, and plays his hand with cool and calculating head. In re- taining the governorship he met ticianS of the state, and he has swept aside from his path such men as Senators Blackburn and Nc Crearv, and any number of the lit- tie fellows. So it is now high time for the anti-Beckham men to fall in line without whimper and give this young man their heartiest sup port Dy electing legislature that there can be no doubt of his going to the senate He has won the spurs.
 When MT. Beckham takes his seat in the Senate of the United States his career will be watched with unusual interest throughout the country.

LUCK BROKE BADLY,
GRAYS LOST AGAIN

The Grays were not equal TO the task
OF duplicating the work OF Thursday yes
terday owing 70 another session OF bad
luck and the wretched way in which
things broke over their heads.
Mr.. Tozier was the chief cause for the
downfall OF the Grays yesterday and he
had them at his mercy after the game
had gone along a short space. AT first OF
81 Cronin was working like a Trojan, and
the men behind him were the cause OF
his letting up. He had the Bisons guess
ing at his curves and had the fielding been
at all accurate the game would no doubt
have gone his way again. When the
team seemed 10 go 10 pieces. however,
then he decided that II would be useless
20 waste his energy and he simply finished
out the game.
Moran was great factor in the win
ming for the Bisons. for he deliberately
presented them with a run I'm the first
inning. The umpiring has been so bad
during the season for the team that when
that decision was rendered the heart was
again taken out OF the men.
Cooper had his man out at the plate
IN the first inning after a couple Of errors
had been made. and despite the fact that
he stepped out 10 meet the runner and
touch him Augy Moran failed TO see that
IL was an out and allowed the man TO
score.
Not that there weren't other weak
nesses. as the 16 hits OF cronin will at

his offerings at will, Gettman negotiating

The Grays made a brilliant start In the
opening inning, getting three men on the
bases, with no one out An easy fly and
double play spoiled the chances for
scores. Again. in the fourth the locals
placed two men on the corners. but the
nothing doing sign was easily hung up
by Tozier In the sixth the Grays had
men on second and third. with but one
down, and still the timely hit was not
forthcoming.

F|Tz. PUT M'GARRY OUT

Amby McGarry OF New York. who was
heralded as a M opponent for Battling
sNelson. was knocked out in the first
round Of HIS fight with Willie Fitzgerald
OF Brooklyn at the National Athletic club
at Philadelphia last night The quick de
feat OF McGarry was one Of the biggest
surprises In the history OF boxing In this
city. The actual time OF fighting was
less than two and half minutes.
Fitzgerald completely outclassed his OPP
ponent in ceverness and speed. AT the
beginning OF the round McGarry came out
OF his corner working both arms and
feinting for an opening. He tried left
and right swing that Fitzgerald got away
from easily. Then Amby rushed and Fttz
put stiff left jab TO the face. He re-
peated the lab several times, and Amby
missed lefts and rights again. McGarry
walked into Fitzgerald swinging both
arms and Fitz pecked at him with Jabs
and hooks.
Suddenly Willie saw an opening and ne
let go with a hard right swing 10 the Jaw.
McGarry went 10 the floor. and when he
arose they went into a clinch. They came
together so hard that both fell, McGarry
striking his head a hard whack on the
floor. After they arose Fitzgerald swung
his right hard 10 the Jaw and followed
this punch with another OF the same kind
flush on the point OF the Jaw. McGarry
