BUG FILTH OUT
Of PACKING
HOUSE

Private letters received in Spo:
kane from employees in Chicago
packing houses throw considerable
light on the tainted meat situation
that has not been widely circulat-
ed, naturally being of a nature
that the beef trust is not anxious
to have generally understood
Speaking of the reform effected
by what the government has done
toward lettering filthy conditions
in the packing hoouses one CORE
spondent says: ..l,..
Everything is changed. We
clean and scrub now every day,
which is certainly something out of
the ordinary. There have been
times when our department (chip-
ped beef never saw a drop of
water for three years. We had a
terrible time the first time we
scrubbed the floor. The grease was
four inches thick in some places.
We even washed up some yellow
wash used on ham, and there
hasn't been any yellow ham wash
In our department for six years.
But we are doing rushing
business now even il everybody is
talking of canned meat. We sell
just as much as we ever did"
Mr.. Armour and other beef trust
magnates have been to consider

the public that their packing

Last night Elmer and some

had a wine supper costing $19.
When the waiter presented the bill

The police wouldn't accept a
check and Peterson offered to give
the stubborn one the 25 cents
necessary to make up the balance
of the bond.
Elmer wouldn't hear to it and
was thrown in Jail.
This morning he called for Ser
geant McPhee and wanted to send
to the bank and get the 25 cents.
McPhee told him that was all
right, he needn't bother but could
go. Elmer again got his back up.
so McPhee told him to stay where
he was. Later in the day friends
came and induced him to go with
them.

RlTZVILLE. Aug. 17.-Acting
for Assessor Bradley, Attorney
Davis has presented to the board
of equalization strong protest
against the course of that body in
reducing assessments in certain
favored communities. 1t Is feared
that If wholesale reductions are
made on other property, the rail-

their property.

TRUMP CARD
WAS BUMPED

AT Butte yesterday Macholz. the
''Great Unknown" was given his
baptism of fire. Rush started in
to pitch the game, but after the
Miners had taken kindly to his
work and Charley Mcintyre was
feeling like a kid being tickled in
the ribs, Manager Ferris bethought
to take some Of the gleesome feel

|Mac might do each Miner faced the
unknown with determination to
knock the cover off the ball or else
idie doing it, and none Of them died.
But 1t wasn't the Miners who
were doing all the stickwork.
There were some Indians in the
game with war clubs doing damage
enough to win ordinary games.
Bruyette, the Mormon, was a
scoundrel with the stick and out
of four times at bat got credit for
three hits, one Of them good for
three sacks. The final score was

Jack Rabbits Stop Trains.

In Texas the Jack rabbit is no
longer looked upon as a means of
good sport. He has increased by
the millions until he threatens not
only to devour all the vegetation of
hundreds of square miles in the
southwestern section of the state but
here lately, spurred on by desperate
hunger, he has been holding up
railway trains, by the simple process
of getting himself killed by the
thousands, and so greasing up the
rails that the most powerful loco
motives have been forced to come to
a stop, while the train hands have
gone forth and cleaned up the right
of way.
Hunger is causing millions of jack
rabbits to come closer to the more
thickly settled sections of Texas, and
where the wire fences are used to
keep them out they have started
burrowing underneath The bright
glare of the locomotive headlight

A Seeker.
[ Elixsbethtown News,


The Mayfeld Messenger points
with pride to the fact that the school
per capita has been increased under
Governor Beckham's administration
and gives the Governor the credit
for it. If the Messenger would IL
vestigate the facts it would find that
the increase is duo to the fact of
taking two cents from the sinking
fund and one and half cents from
the general expenditure fund and
adding them to the school fund and
not to any wisdom upon the part of
the Governor. An investigation Of
the auditors reports will disclose
the fact that with the same tax rate
for school purposes under Beekham's
administration as existed under
Browns the school fund would not
have been any larger. The increas-
ed school fund is due entirely to the
fact that where former administra-
tons had tax rate of twenty-five
and half cents the present admin
istration has tax rate of twenty
six and a half cents for school pur-
poses.

KENTUCKY MASONS
Vote to Exclude Wholesale or Re-
tail Liquor Dealers From
the Order.

Never, lprobably, in the history of
theIGrand Lodge of Masons in Ken
lucky, extending back to the last
year of the Eighteenth century, was
so much discussion caused over a
single question as that following the
introduction at the meeting of the
Grand. Lodge last week of the resO-
luton, which was passed, providing
that during the next twelve months
no one who is engaged in the manu-
facture and sale Of Intoxicating
liquors as beverage shall be receiv-
ed into the order. The resolutions
passage made it one of the regula-
tions, and the same provision is con-
tanned in an amendment to the con-
stitution, which was by necessity
compelled to lay over for year.
The sentiment is such. however, that
it is probable that the amendment
VIII be adopted.
The resolution was presented by
Past Grand Master Wilhelm. The
Committee on Jurisprudence, of
which Past Grand Master Witt is
Chairman, proposed the question as
a constitutional amendment, which
would have deferred the question
for year. After spirited debate,
in which Grand Master Veach asked
for immediate action, and in which
only few defended those who are
engaged in the liquor business, it
was decided to adopt the resolution,
and then to adopt the committees
report. thus putting the provision
into practice for year, in order to
give the members of the Grand
Lodge chance to see its effect, and
to enable them to vote intel ligently
upon the constitutional amendment
next year.
