Official Notice Received in
Reference to Maher and
Mitchell Establishments.
FIVE DAYS ARE ALLOWED.
TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT FOR
KILLING PROBABLY WILL BE
MADE UNTIL GOVERNMENT IN
SPECTION is DETERMINED.

The local board of health and mayor
Frank w. Tucker, state food and drug
inspector for this Indiana district,
stating that he had condemned both
the Maher and Mitchell and the Henry
HolzapfeI butchering establishments
Owners of the two plants have been
served with the notice and will
have to discontinue slaughtering in
the houses before a period of five
days expires. 1t is highly probable
that the butchers will either butcher
with Anton Stole or the Richmond
Abattoir until it is ascertained just
what they will have to do to place
their houses in shape for government
inspection, as under present condi-
tions they cannot rebuild and then
again have their houses to alter if
government service is given the city.
There was some doubt for time
whether the Holzapfel plant would be
condemned, but the message of Mr..
Tucker relieves all such doubts.
Since they have received the mes
sage of the state inspector which is
backed by the state board of health,
il is highly probable that the plants
will have to be torn down in their en-
tirety and new and sanitary ones err
ected, according to the statutes of the
state, which specify the manner in
which all new Strengthening establish
ments shall be built. The letter of
Mr.. Tucker to the local board of
health follows:
Il Frank Tucker do hereby notify
you that on this date, / serve notice
on Messrs. Maher and Mitchell and
Mr.. Holzapfel to discontinue the kill
ing of any more animals or slaughter
ing the same. at their present slaugh-
tering houses. therefore If they con-
tinue the killing and preparing of
animals at their present places after
five days, / wish to have you notify
the State Board of Health and have
your local officers to comply with the
section 4, page 3 of the Pure food and
Drug laws of the state of Indiana.
FRANK w. TUCKER.
Food and Drug Inspector. |
The provisions of the law to which |
Mr. Tucker referred pertain to the
conditions that must surround all |
slaughter houses and after condemna-
tion, if improper conditions continue, |
heavy fine is liable.

THE HERCULES BEETLE.
This South American Giant Is the Big
gest Bug in the World.

This South American Giant Is the Big
gest Bug in the World.
To the Hercules beetle, a giant among
insects, which is found in certain por-
lions Of Central and South America as
we'll as in the island of Dominica. one
of the British West Indies, belongs the
distinction of being the biggest bug in
the world. In appearance this creature
is anything but prepOssessing and
looks as if it belonged with pink
snakes, purple spiders and other crea-
lures of the imagination.
It is a common trait of tourists and
travellers to make little of anything
seen in foreign lands, especially in the
little West Indian islands, and to de-
clare that similar things of vastly
greater size or better quality occur in
Gods country" When they run
across the Hercules beetle, however,
they are obliged to acknowledge them
selves beaten.
Although so formidable in appear
ance, this insect is perfectly harmless.
1t lives in the heavy forests and feeds
on the sweetish sap or gum of native
trees. The larva, or grub, is about
four inches long and as thick as
mans thumb and looks like a huge
white maggot. 1t is considered a deli
cacy by the native negroes and caribs
who roast it in hot ashes and say thai
it tastes like roasted nuts.
Clumsy in appearance, the Hercules
beetle possesses great powers of flight
| and in the outlying villages it is no
| uncommon for one of these huge crea
lures to enter the native houses, being
attracted thereto by the lights. The in
variable result is a prompt extinguish
ing of the candle by the wind created
by the beetles buZzing wings, accom-
| panied by screams from the inmate

| 4 popular belief among the native
is that the Hercules beetle saws OF

Our Flight Through Space.

Vega is the star toward which our
sun is ceaselessly rushing through the
infinite regions of space, carrying the
earth and all of the other planets with
hirn. Though we are pursuing this
journey at the speed of eleven miles
a second, so that at the end Of each
day we are almost 100000 miles near
er the star than we were at the be-
ginning, yet at least 100000 years
will elapse before we overtake and
drift past this great sun. Were the
life Of man on earth not so short, how
wonderfully would he see the face Of
the heavens change as he passed
through our universe of stars. The
Great Dipper, the Northern Cross and
even the Milky Way itself would APP
pear to take new forms as he passed
on and viewed them from a different
direction, and as he drew near the
blue star Vega, a sun enormously
larger and hotter than our own, II
would shine out with extraordinary
brilliancy.

TARLECLOTHS.
The "Douhers" and the bubbles" OF
Olden Times.

The "Doublers" and the bubbles" OF
OIden Times.
In the twelfth century the table
cloths were very large and were al
WAYS laid on the table double. For
long time they were called "dOublers"
for that reason The cloth was first
placed so as to touch the floor on the
side of the table at which the guests
sat. Then all the cloth that remained
was folded so that it just covered the
table.
Charles V. had sixty-seven table
cloths which were from fifteen to
twenty yards long and two yards wide.
He had one cloth which was thirty
two yards long. and that had the arms
Of France embroidered on it in silk.
All Of these were fringed.
In the sixteenth century "doublers, y
or double cloths, were replaced by two
tablecloths, one of which was small
and was laid just as we lay ours to-
day.
The other, which was put on over it,
was large and of beautifully figured
linen. 1t was skillfully folded in such
a way that, as a book of that time
says, cit resembled a winding river,
gently rufled by a little breeze, for
among very many little folds were
here and there great bubbles"
1t must have required much art and
care to make dishes, plates, saltcellars
sauce dishes and glasses stand steadily
in the midst of this undulating sea
and among those bubbles" and puffy
| folds.
However, the fashion had only &
short existence, as is apt to be the case
with impractical fashions, and toward
the latter part of the century a single
cloth, laid fat and touching the foo
on all sides of the table, came into gen
eral use.

This City Not Pleased

Denver, Jan. SO.-(speciaD Last
night there was a most enthusiastic
meeting of the members of the legis-

good roads measure now before the
legislature, in the senate chamber
Many good things were said of the
proposed measure and some amend
ments were suggested.
F. A. Osborn. chairman of the Good

mittee made a clear statement, and
declared that as the Republicans were

pass the people would hold them res

lar organizations in the state were
present. There were many endorse
ments.
1t was announced that the Grand
Junction Chamber of Commerce re-
fused to endorse the measure on the
grounds that this section had not
been considered by the legislature in
the-road measures. The Grand juno
ton people declare that the western
slope needs many bridges and roads
that would hardly be provided for
under this measure. The bill pro
vides that the state will give each
county a sum equal to one that conu-
ty>will raise. This, the Grand June
tion people declare is unfair as many
counties, not needing roads as bad as
others. can raise larger sums of
money than other counties.

Scores Meet Awful Death

The disaster is perhaps the worst
in the number of killed, in the his
tory of the state. Most OF the men
were Americans and many of them
were married and had large families
There were a dozen or more colored
men. and about twenty aliens among
the victims. The rescue work was
begun as soon as the shaft could be
repaired.
. The Stuart mine has only one open
ing. although an entry has been driy-
en- to connect with the mine a short
distance away. The shaft has three
compartments and it was wrecked.
1t is stated that nearly oil of the
men were at work in the working
tunnels. No official announcement
as to the cause has as yet been made.
That dust caused the explosion is
stated by persons at the scene. but
an investigation may prove otherwise
