later my career ended with my re-

A Sensational Charge.
The following is an extract from the
report of Thomas e. Mckee, of condi-
tions in the Chicago stock yards:
"The place where the sausage cas-
ings are prepared Is dark. damp and
unventilated. The odor was so foul
that my lungs refused to receive 1t
for several minutes after my entrance
into the room. About rs men were at
work ON machines which turned the
entrails inside out and washed them.
No fresh entrails could have emitted
the material being worked upon was
being assisted by the efiluvia OF all
the offal which had passed that way
since ancient times"
"Jungle' Horrors Corroborated.
This astounding paragraph from
many other equally sensational cnes
in a report rendered by Attorney
Thomas II. Mckee, Ill Broadway, in
confederation of "The Jungle" ex-
plains willy the beef trust is batting
so desperately against both the Bev-
eridge amendment and the submis-
sion of the Neill-Reynolds report to
congress. Labor Commissioner
Charles p. Neill and Special Agent
James B. Reynolds have seen this
Mckee report In condensed form, and
! have approved its findings In every
essential feature.
This means, beyond doubt. that the
Nelll-Reynolds report, which congress
and the American public are impa-
tiently awaiting, will be along the
identical lines boldly drawn here
without fear or favor. This Is the
first publication of the Mckee report,
whose author spent IL days, seven of
them inccgnito. probing into the
Packingtown horrors.
| Sent by Publishers.
Mr.. Mckee was sent to Chicago by
the publishers of the powerful expose
novel written by Upton Sinclair.
Their acceptance Of the novel was
contingent upon what this New York
lawyer discovered In and reported OF
Packingtown.
Since they began drafting their re-
port, Commissioners Neill and Rey.
nolds have been In communication
with Attorney Mckee and have ad
mitted, in Washington, that his dis
closures are by no means oyerdrawn
Among the packing houses Attorney
Mckee explored were Swift's, Ar
mour's, Libby, Mcneil & Libby's, Mel
son Morris and the Standards.
People throughout the entire coun.
try have been stirred by the horrible
charges against the packers and are
anxiously awaiting the publication OF
the full report of Messrs. Neill ant
Reynolds. Letters to senators and
congressman urging them to use theiI
influence would aid to secure early
publicity Of the important document.

1886 ~ find the Jews reasoning |
among themselves and saying,
where will be 60, to the dis
persed among the Gsntiles? or
where will he 60? This il grand
evidence Of the two people, the
Jews and Gentiles.
The fac, is, as we have 10 often
said, that those Jews we're blind
concerning Christ and His mis-
sion on earth.
Yet they understood that there
was a diffcrance between than
and the Gentiles.
they reasoned among them
selves, whether He would 90 a
| mong the dispersed, that they
should not find Him. Yes Christ
went among tie dispersed, that
| the others should not find Him;
And from these lower class Of
Jews He chose His disciples. For
it was for Judgment He came into
the world, and He came also 20
preach tn these Door, to open
their blind eyes, and save them
and gran. to the Gentiles eternal
life, For he says,
As the Father knowth mo even 50

In this scripture there are two
very important points to notice.
First, He speaks OF The sheep,

"Other sheep | have which are
not Of this fold; them | must ais,

sand on the silver roll.
Mr.. Taliaferro asked Mr.. Markell to
state how 1t was that he had received
the contract in the face of the showing
made. The witness SAID he had no
knowledge Of Hudgins and Dumas, and
Mr.. Taliaferro read the names of sew

dent of the United States.

firm to be reputable one?" asked
Mr.. Taliaferro.
1T indicates that II was after po-
litical influence, anyway" retorted the
witness.
Mr.. Taliaferro asked Mr.. Markell il
he meant to imply that because a firm
gave as reference the president of the
United States, it Was seeking "polit-

assisted him in securing the contract,
which was subsequently cancelled.
Absolutely none," Mr.. Markell said.
The witness said he purchased the
Milard hotel in Omaha, buying Mr..

knowledge of the bids submitted by
his competitors. He declared the
