PACKERS GET BUSY.
The Meat Inspection Bill Will Be
Fought Bitterly.

The passage of a bill providing for
the drastic supervision by the govern
ment of meat and meat products was
stiff factor for the packers. They
knew such a bill was proposed, but
the fact that it is late in the session
cheered them up and 1t was believed
that the bill could not pass. The tao.
administration leaders, however, in
lacking the measure upon the agricul
tural bill as a rider, came as a bomb
and the packers and the lobbyists are
all up in the air.
The kick of the packers and of some
of their allied interests was made TO
the president when he was visited by
Senator CulIom, Speaker Cannon and
Representatives Madden and Lorimer,
of Chicago While Senator Cullom
believes the law is a good one, Mad.
den, Lorimer and Cannon will fight it
bitterly.
The president was evidently moi
disposed to be sympathetic with the
kick of the beef packers, and the del
egation went away without much sat
isfaction. The bill is now in confer
ence and is expected to be passed IN
a short time.
The bill not only provides for in
spection, but really gives the govern
ment unlimited supervision of the
packing business, as inspectors can
and will be present from the time the
cattle arrive at packing yards until
their carcasses are carted away in
cans and otherwise. 1t is stated that
the packers object to this as much as
anything else. They do not believe
it is fair to force them to pay out
more than $1,000,000 each year in sal
aries of government employees to go
through their business.

Strike Is On.

The previous suspension of work in
the Michigan coal mines has now be-
come strike, all negotiations for a con-
ference being off. Miners are now
seeking work elsewhere and otherwise
preparing for a long siege. They say
the operators are not anxious to op-
crate the mines now and dragged the
union initiation fee matter to prevent
a conference.
The miners claim that one large OPP
orator will sign the scale independent
ly and will reopen several mines forth
with. President Mitchell has been in.
formed of the situation and is expect
ed TO issue a strike order for Michi-
gan.
About 5000 miners have been out Of
work for several weeks, awaiting a
conference with the operators for n
new wage scale. The operators post
poned the meeting from time to time
and finally refused to go into confer
ence unless the miners agreed to re-
duce the union initiation fee from $50
to SO. They claimed the fee was so
high that it prevented many men from
joining and made a scarcity of miners
in this section. The miners offered TO
reduce the fee to $25, but the operators
stuck for $40.

Horse and Bull Team.

An unusual runaway occurred in
Camden. James Wigent a young
farmer who hauls milk to the local
cheese factory, drove into town with
a team made up of one horse and one
young full-blooded Durham bull. The
bull became frightened and the team
ran away, coliiding with a large tree
at the intersection of Bell and Main
streets. Besides breaking the har-
ness in several places little damage
was done. Mr. Wigent uses the same
team on his farm for all kinds of
work.

Secretary of state Mandamused.

Harry X. Gustin, of Alpena, Repub-
lican senatorial candidate in the
Twenty-ninth district, Wednesday Sc
cured from the supreme court an order
for Secretary of State Prescott to show
cause why he should not accept petit
tons from Cheboygan county for the
submission of the primary election
question in that district. Petitions con-
tanning SIT names, enough to make up
the required number, 2,619, were re-
ceived at the state department May
IA, having been mailed Saturday, May
II, the time set by the secretary of
state for filing them.
Mr.. Gustin contends that as the petit
tions were actually received on Sun
day, May 13, the petitions should be
accepted as having been filed 30 days
previous to June IL primaries. This
matter will be submitted to the court
and that raised in Lapeer county rela-
tive TO the number of signers required
in the Seventh congressional district.
There will be no oral arguments.
Gov. Warner evidently takes Issue
with Secretary Prescott on the ques-
tions involved in the demands of the
Seventh congressional district and the
Twenty.pinth senatorial district as to
the petitions required to secure the
submission of the primary proposition
The governor says il was his under
standing at the time of the passage
of the law that 1t was to be 20 per
cent of the enrolment and not 20 per
cent of the vote for governor at the
last election, as is contended by the
secretary of state.

HANCOCK AND GRANT.
Relations Between the Two Soldiers
Was Always of the Closest
Friendship.

Adam Badeau gives the following
interesting account in the Chicago
Tribune of the relations of these two
great soldiers
Hancock and Grant were at West
Point together. They were good
friends there, and Hancock used to
call his future chief by the familiar
nickname of Sam Grant" Long af-
terward during the Wilderness cam
paign-it was the day after the great
attack at Spottsylvania, when Han
cock reported II have finished up
johnson and am now going into
Early" Grant nominated Hancock for
brigadier general in the regular army.
Hancock remembered the old relation.
ship of cadet times, and said to tho
brother-in-law of the general in-chief,
who told him the news: "I love Sam
Grant"
The regard was mutual. At one
moment in the battle of the Wilder
ness things looked very dark; Warren
was driven back to thercenter, and a
rush of stragglers came hurrying in
towards Grants headquarters with
news that Hancock was routed. Grant
was seated on the ground whiting a
stick; he simply turned his stick
around and Whitfield the other end,
and when 1t was again reported that
Hancock had been driven he said
grimly: 81 don't believe it." In a
few moments word came directly con-
trary to the early rumor. Instead of
retreating Hancock had pushed the
enemy. Then Grant looked up and
said with as much enthusiasm as
ever knew him to betray: "Hancock's
glorious soldier"
He never changed this opinion. Han
cock was always given the advance
or exposed position. He bore the brunt
of the battle of the Wilderness; he
made three terrible assaults at Spotts-
ylvania; he led the march to the
North Anna; he was in the thickest of
the fighting at Cold Harbor; his
troops were the first of the army of
the Potomac to come up before Peters
burg; and in the subsequent move
Deep Bottom, and at the explosion at
Burnside's mine, always, until the
opening of an old wound compelled
him to leave the field, Hancock was
given the command which required the
most superb daring. the clearest head,
the most sustained military ability.
More than once l heard Gen. Grant
say that if Meade were removed he
should give the command Of the Army
of the Potomac to Hancock.

Chicago.-Whether John Alexander
Dowie shall in the future, as in the
past, be acknowledged the First Apos-
tie by the members of the church he
has instituted the credit of being the
founder of perhaps the most religious
movement of modern times must be
accorded him.
Since his arrival in Chicago
in 1890 his rise to power and
wealth has been practically been un-
checked. Except for his unfortunate
trip to New York in 1903, in which
much money was expended and in a
measure the prestige of the church
lowered as a consequence of the ac-
knowledge failure of the visit, he has
made few mistakes. The financial
storms which at times threatened the
stability OF Zion City have all been
weathered, if not with ease at least
without disaster.
The events of DR.. Dowie's life that
need recording may be summed up as
follows:

DISHING UP MUD.
Trying Experience of Soldier Which
He Turned Into an Anus
ing Joke.

It was the 9Th day of April, 1862.
Our regiment, the First u. S. S. s.
were marching up toward Yorktown
and getting pretty near to the works
of the enemy, they commenced firing
shot and shell, says a correspondent
of the American Tribune. AS they
flew high we noticed that their aim
was at a collection of officers in our
rear, supposed to be Gen. Porter and
staff, but soon our batteries got into
position-think it was Griffith's and
Mott's-and shot and shell howled In
every direction. Our sliirmish line was
in the road, near mud hole, and one
of our boys, already with his Yankee
wit, discovered a spur and strap stick
ing in the mud, and stopped to get the
treasure, saying, Il guess"-but that
was all of that sentence, as a shell
struck in that mud hole and plastered
him from head to foot, besides filling
mouth, eyes and ears. AS soon as
John K could spit out the mud
and get breath, he cody remarked, 81
wish they would fill their cursed shellc
with oysters; I could relish them bet
ter" We were quite hungry at that
time. Cannot say that l should like
to take oysters in that shape. But as
my mind wanders back to that scene,
cannot but laugh over the memory
of that incident, as l did at the time.
