ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER
PURE FOOD LAWS MADE
MUCH MORE STRINGENT
Merchants and Others Will Do Well
to Post Themselves on
the Laws.

When State Pure Food Com
missioner Heiberg was in the
city recently, he gave the
Pioneer an outline of some Of the
provisions of the new pure food
laws, which are radical changes
from some of the former laws,
an outline of which will be of in
terest to the retail merchants in
this vicinity and the public
generally.
Chapter 1874 gives the com mis-
sioner and his employees author
ity to seize any unwholesome
food or dairy product or in his or
their discretion to render the
same as unstable for use as
food.
Chapter 424 authorizes the
commissioners to formulate rul-
ings requiring certain labels on
food products for the purpose of
securing uniformity between the
food laws of this state and the
laws of the Federal government.
Chapter 455 provides for the
inspection of canning factories
and fixes grade for minnesota
standard" canned goods. It pro-
vides that an Inspector of the de-
partment must be present while
the goods are being packed. The
expense of such inspection is to
be borne by the Gamer.
Chapter 1925 provides that all
ice cream manufactured and sold
within the state must contain
not less than IL per cent by
weight of butterfat, and must
not be colored to make the article
appear better than it really is.
The use of all injurious ingred-
tents is prohibited in it's manu-
facture.
Chapter 1888 provides for the
inspection Of concentrated COM
mercial feedstuffs.. This is the
famous "stock food bill" which
caused so much discussion dur.
ing it's consideration.
Chapter 421 is the new paint
law which requires that the true
ingredients of all paints shall be
plainly painted on the labels of
all paint packages.
Amendments to the present
laws are as follows:
Chapter 237 prohibits the sale
of adulterated spices. Hereto
fore adulterated spices have been
sold when labeled mixture and
Adulterated."
Chapter 258 includes among
the prohibited ingredients in
foodstuffs coal tar dye and sa-
charm.
Chapter 337 amends the pres.
ent milk and cream license law
so that parties keeping not more
than three COWS are exempt from
the provisions of the law. Here.
tofore the exemption has been
one COW.
Chapter 347 reduces the re-
CURED percentage of acetic acid
in vinegar from 4.5 per cent to
4 per cent. The latter is the
standard set by the federal au-
thorities.
Under Chapter 424 rulings will
be issued which will secure uni
formity between the label provi-
sions of the state and federal
laws. An article labeled to com
ply with the federal pure food
and drugs act should be allowed
on sale within the state without
further label requirements pro.
vided that it does not contain in
gradients specifically prohibited
by our state laws. Additional
state requirements only tend to
confuse the manufacture and
adds to the cost of prod
which must be borne by the con,
sumer without giving him added
protection.

sination of Dr.. B. D. Cox.

Lexington, KY, May 2 l.-The jury
In the case of Judge James Hargis,
charged with the murder of Thomas
Cockrill, returned a verdict of not
guilty.
When the verdict was announced
great cheer arose from the friends Of
Judge Hargis, who crowded the court.
room, and it was necessary for Cir
cult Judge Parker to rap repeatedly
for order.
This is the second acquittal of Har-
gis, he having been declared not guilty
of the murder of James B. Marcum
at his trial at Beattyville last July.
It is believed now that the cases of
Alex and Ebert Hargis and Edward
Callahan, also charged with compile
ity in plots to kill Cockrill, will be
filed away in the court here. The evil
dence is practically the same against
the other three men, as we'll as Bill
Britton, who Is awaiting a third trial
for this killing. Britton gave bond for
his appearance at the next term of
court in the sum of $500. His bond
was signed by James and Alex Hargis.
Britton, however, was not allowed to
leave the county Jail, being rearrested
for the assassination of DR.. Cox.
Murder Conspiracy Alleged.
Cockrill, who was marshal of Jack
son, was shot in the courthouse at
Jackson June 81, 1904. He died later
at Lexington, whore he had been
taken for medical attention. During
the trial several witnesses swOre that
Judge Hargis, his brothers and Sheriff
Ed Callahan had entered into a MUIR
der conspiracy promising immunity to
any one who would shoot Cockrill,
DR.. B. D. Cox and J. B. Marcum, all
three Of whom have since died by
shooting The defense, however, pre-
sented testimony tending to disprove
the conspiracy charge and Judge Har
gis, testifying in his own behalf, de-
MED all connection with the shooting
Curtis Jet, who confessed to killing
Marcum, for which he was given
life sentence, was a witness against
Judge Hargis.
The next trial in this series will be
called at Sandy Hook, Elliott county,
next Monday, when the same defend
ants will be tried for the murder of
DR.. B. D. Cox at Jackson on April H.
1902, change of venue having been
taken from Breathitt county.

We do not know it all about the

WINGED of one thing, and that is
if there is nothing in the Chris

foundation of the world, enduring
till now and with splendid pros

certainly less than nothing in the

We do not know much about

zens say, men who have builded
and know substantial construc.
ton when they see it, Rowan's
new Jail, when completed, will
not be as good a building as the
old one. We hope they are mis-
taken, for it would indeed be a
shocking offence to the good peo-
pie of Rowan to learn that $40,
10000, or more, of the taxes
wrung from them had been SO
needlessly wasted. But the fact
IS there never was a need fer a
new Jail building. The substan-
liability of the present Jail build
ing is almost beyond the power
of man to improve.

|Cairo's Curse of Blindness.

The first thing that impresses
the stranger in Cairo is the num-
bar of blind-msn, women and
children-to be found everywhere
in the shops and Oh the streets.
Opthalmia is very prevalent in
Egypt. Because of superstition
concerning "the evil eye," the
native mothers of the middle or
lower class do not wash the eyes
of their babies at all. Watching
the flies buzzing unheeded around
and upon these blind children, q
stranger has ems to buy a fly
whisk. These are for sale every
where and are quite attractive
with their ornaments of beads and
palm-leaf fibre. Blind beggars
greet one at every corner. Even
in the high class Egyptian fami-
lies there are many blind. The
lower classes of Egyptians are
given much to hasheesh-that is
the lower classes in the large
cities-and, although it is against
the law to sell it, one will have
the hasheesh places pointed out
to him. and the men who smoke
the drug Ire seen everywhere.
They are distinguished by the Pc
culiar appearance of their eyes,
which become red, swollen and
baggy underneath, and by the Pc
culiar color of the skin, which re-
sambles somewhat the skin of a
Chinese opium smoker. -Leslie's

"This nationltoday is in a state

who from the shelter of that for

diverting the taxes of the people

Last Thursday night the Board
of Aldermen elected a number of
city officers. In the selection of
City Tax Collector they turned
out one much better than they
elected, but in entire keeping with
the downward trend of Sails
bury's reigning faction of schem-
ing peanut politicians. When it
came to the selection of water
commissioners, M. A. Shank was
slated for such a position by the
five who elected the tax collector.
but, just before taking the vote,
we are informed, the Mayor ap.
preached one of the five, which
was necessary for a choice, and
stated that "we,can't afford to
elect that man, we must have a
man who can sign notes ard help
to raise money" or words to that
effect, when the said Alderman,
A. Parker, who has openly and
p%ersistently opposed Boyden and
his methods for years, in common
vernacular "tumbled," and Mr..
Shank was defeated. That was
very good reason why MI. Shank
should have been elected. The
man who is put in office for such
purposes, should he attempt to
saddle any debt on the city,
ought to be forced to pay the bill.

Stole Cake Of Pink Seap.

After spending six hours in q
prison cell, Mrs. Anna Polesk1. &C
years old, a scrubwoman, was re.
leased yesterday afternoon from

sent by Magistrate Moss, charged
by the United Express Company

soap, valued at 1 cent, from its
24-story building on Rector street,
II took the soap to wash my
hands," was the somewhat re.
markable excuse of the woman,
caught pink-handed. Realizing
the enormity of her crime. she
bowed her head sorrowfully.
News of the sensational arrest
reached Wall street just after the
market opened, and pink soap
preferred took a sudden jump,
Magistrate Moss, before whom
Mrs. Poleski was arraigned in the
Centre-Street Court, was reluctant
to send her to the Tombs.

pretty small matter to make a
criminal charge OFF" he asked

"That may all be. Your HONOR
replied the superintendent, "but
we are DESTROYS on making an ex-
ample of her. There has been al
together too much pilfering in
our building lately"
Magistrate Moss had no altern.
alive but to have the woman
locked up. Tsarfully protesting
that she did not intend to. steal
the soap, she was taken across the
Bridge of Signs. She remained
there until Morris Engel of 8 AL
bany street generously gave $500

his community. He was much
interested in the casuse of educa-
