SLAUGHTER
HORRORS SHOCK TO PUBLIC

houses and the compartments useu
for storing meats were in a dirty con-
dition, and that the methods used ia
vored the contamination of meats
that otherwise might be clean and
wholesome. no effort was made in
any of these establishments to keep
liyers, hearts, tongues and other edi-
bile parts from contact with the filthy
floors.
IN fact, it was the general practice
to throw these organs on the floor,
in the slop, and no tables or racks
were provided to receive them before
they were hung on the storage hooks.
1t was observed in some of these
slaughter houses that it was the habit
of the employees to defile the floor.
and no toilet facilities we're provided
for their use. In addition to the cat
tie, post mortem examinations were
held on 62 calves and 81 sheep. In
addition IA beeves, 144 mutton and
81 veals were examined in cold stor-
age. Thirteen mutton were emaci-
ated, two mutton were mouldy and
three veals immature. All were con-
demned and destroyed.
THE condition is much worse than
that revealed in Chicago that led to
the packing house investigation and
to the passage of the federal meat
inspection law.

BIG HAUL FOR
MAIL POUCH
THIEVES
Get Away With Probably
$l0O. 900 Bound East
From Los AneeIes--No
Trace Yet Obtained

LOS ANGELES. June l1.=Reluct-
ant admissions made by the post
officials of three cities today confirm
to some extent the belief that the
disappearance of a registered mail
pouch somewhere within the juris-
diction of the Kansas City, Mo-, post
Office last Saturday night will prove
one of the biggest hauls in the his
tory of the postoffice department.
From private sources 1t was learned
late today that a package of at least
$4,000 in currency was among the
contents of the pouch, which carried.
in addition. an unusually large num-
ber of letters and other valuables,
which can only be conjectured, but
which may reach $4,000 more.
The pouch was in transit from this
city to New York, and the postal in
spectors who have had the case in
charge for at least 4S hours refuse
any explanation of the manner in
which it became lost to sight in
transfer from one responsible guard
ian to another, as the department
regulations providing for the protec-
tion of registered matter are of the
strictest. That a pouch of yaluables
has disappeared was admitted today
by the department at Washington. by
Postmaster NJ. II. Flint of Los An
geles and by Inspector w ]. Vickery.
attached to the Kansas City postoffice,
who appear to have the case for in
yestigation. In no case, however.
was there any positive information to
be secured as to the amount stolen
or as to the method employed in car
rying out the robbery.
The fact that the mail in process
of transfer at the union depot In
kansas City is handled in tempo
rary sub-staticn since the destruction
of the regular branch Office by fire
several months ago supports the the
ory that advantage was taken of con-
ditions presumed To be more lax than
ordinary.

FOURTH OF JULY WORK.
Committees Are Busily Engaged
Attractions Arranged VIII Make
Excellent Program.

The members of the finance COM
mite of the Fourth of July celebra-
ton are busily at work soliciting
funds for the three days of sport
and frolic which are to be made in
this district on July 3, and 3.
Other committees to which special
work has been assigned are likewise
actively engaged.
+. f. Nevin states that he will be
able TO get together fine lot of
events for the frontier day. which 1t
is proposed to feature as one of the
main events. The gun club shoot
will undoubtedly prove IA good draw
ing card. Not less so will lie the
boxing contest between Andy King,
who claims the title of lightweight
champion of Nevada. and the man
chosen from the number who have
sent challenges in.
A series of dances and a fine exhi-
hitiou of fireworks will also he had.
On the latter committe are Fire Chief
Rowe and John S. Harville.

also have their hands full in arrang-
ing and successfully presenting the
numerous sports which have been as
signed to their care. Correspondence
has been begun by Winnie Fulmer

ed to play here on the Fourth.
If only portion of the program
as outlined is carried out there can
be no doubt that the occasion will
have unusual merit The greatest
attraction for visitors. beyond all per-
adventure. will be. however, the
chance they will have to see the
mines of the district and the great
reduction works of the Cumberland
Ely and Nevada Consolidated. The
cheap rates offered from outside
should bring in numbers of investors
who would be only too glad to see
for themselves the vast works of
which they have hitherto only read.

Pennsylvania state meat inspectors.
A statement issued at the Office of
the state service indicates that the
state of affairs rivals that of Chicago

spectors have been verified and the
results have astonished officials who
frankly admit that more inspectors
will have to be supplied to stamp out
the evils. The statement is as fol-
lows:
"Three agents of the state live
stock sanitary board have been en-
gagged for two weeks in Philadelphia.
The work of these agents has con-
sisted principally in examining cat
tie killed in some of the small
slaughter houses that are not under
the supervision of the federal veter-
mary inspectors. The reports of the
