for the distinctions made Is obvious.
For the bacon you want a streak of

HOUSE I..I7N|55 The CONTEST
SENATE ABOUT READY TO SUR
RENDER IN NEAT lNSPEC.
..-~- TiON FIGHT.

Washington, June Ex-senator Bev-
eridge, who introduced the original
meat inspection amendment to the
agricultural bill, has withdrawn his
objections to the house substitute and
this is taken as an indication that the
senate will instruct it's conferees to
accept the house provision. The In
diana senator said he was in favor Of
compelling the packers to pay the
cost Of inspection and requiring them
to place the date Of inspection on
cans of meat. He said that the house
substitute retained all other features
of the senate bill and that in the in.
terest of practical legislation to purify
meat products he would not stand in
the way because the government is
required to pay the cost of inspec-
tion.
The senate leaders believe that the
outcome must be concession to the
house.

Chief of Police Bailey and
Captain Helmer are deserving of
much credit for the prompt

stone unturned in their efforts to
unravel the mystery surrounding
the affair.
Brendley was seen ina local
saloon yesterday afternoon, in
company with another man. He
was buying drinks very literally,
the other party paying for
nothing that was furnished.
Brendley seemed to be well
supplied with money. At the
time he was searched by the
police, there was not a cent about
his person.
The post mortem is being held
this afternoon, and it is believed
by many that the result will
bring out some new features as
to the cause of death.
