FOR SELLING BAD MEAT.
Food Inspector Has Farmers at Paxico
Arrested.

John A. Kleinhans, one of the four
state under the state board of health,
returned today from Alma. While there
he was called to Paxico, a little town
nearby, where several people were ser
iously i'll from eating meat Inspector
Kleinhans discovered that the meat
they had eaten came from a steer that
had been sick and that had died from
disease. After securing affidavits from
the butcher and others in the vicinity
Inspector Kleinhans had complaints is
sued for ]. Shilling and his two sons,
Frank and Sam, farmers living near
Paxico, from whom the local butcher
had bought the meat from the diseased
steer.
The butcher, J. L. Weller, had bought
the meat on the superstition that it was
as it was represented. that is to say,
good meat and he was held blameless
in the matter, but it is apt to go hard
with the ShilHngs. The pure food law
is plain in this case as it states: IF
the product of a diseased animal or one
that died otherwise from slaughter is
sold to the public the penalty in such
case will be a fine of $500 and a term
of one year in Jail, at the discretion of
the. court
The citizens of Paxico are worked
up over this matter of the sale of dis
eased meat and are glad to see an ex-
ample made of the offenders against
every law of health and decency. Coun-
ty Attorney Schmitz will prosecute the
case against the Shillings.

U. P. CASE STOPS.
Hearing Is Adjourned Until January 5
of Next Year.

New York, Dec. 3.-That a long
period of disagreement between Will
liam A. Clark. of the San Pedro line
and E H Hartman of the Oregon
Short Line, resulted in 1902 in an in
junction against the latter line by the
san Pedro, which was followed by an
''agreemerIt'' between them, was part
of the testimony of William d. Cor
nish, vice president of the Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and oregon
Short Line, read at the continuation
today of the governments suit before
Sylvester G. Williams, United States
special examiner to dissolve the Union
Pacihc's combination
The evidence of Mr. Cornish further
stated that each of the two companies
has its own management; also that the
southern Pacific does not own the Pa
cific Express company, 40 per cent Of
the stock being owned by the Union
Pacific and 20 per cent by the Wa
bash.
Asked why in 1901 there had been
an issuance of $1OO,000,000 worth of
Union Pacific stock and 500, 900, 900
of convertible Union Pacific bonds,
Mr.. Cornish had replied:

the company owed good deal OF
money at that time

ter of the smuggled Chinks. This is
not believed by the officials who were.
in Topeka today. They say that it
was but a story. originated in some
ratified Drained newspaper office"
The car examined in Topeka this
morning contained ESQ bars of lead
weighing 100 pounds each. They
would have been impossible for a man
to make a railroad trip alive. 1t was
as cold as the frigid zone in the car
and there were no signs of human
being ever finding a hiding place. The
seals were intact and were in as good
condition as when they were last
touched by the hands of Uncle Sam.
In other words-there were never any
Cinnamon in the freight car and it
would have been impossible for any to
get there or barring all-there were
no Chinks there this morning and the
government failed to uncover the deep
laid plot which is supposed to be in
session on the borders. 1t was sup
posed that the custom officers was
making a fortune smuggling China
men in America
None of the Topeka government of
ficialS were informed of the coming
car except United States Marshal VIM
H. Mackey, who said this morning
that he had heard of such a car but
had little faith in the story. The only
fright caused among the United States
government officials in Topeka was
the memory of the car of Cinnamon
who were found in Harrington last
June. They feared a repetition of this
situation and with that in mind kept
a watch out for the car. All of the st.
Louis inspectors returned to their city
from their actions-with the world in
general p r.

TAX COAL OUTPUT.
John Mitchell Advocates Raising PEN
sion Fund for Miners.

Pittsburg, Dec. 3.-John Mitchell,
former president of the United Mine
workers, was given close attention at
the miners congress when he spoke on
conditions in the mines here and
abroad. Taking up the subject of fatal
tiles in the mines Mr.. Mitchell said that
provision should be made to pay every
WIDOW OF miner who was killed in a
mine $1,000 and an injured miner $500.
This money. he said, could be secured
through a small tax on the coal that
was taken out and the tax would be
such that it would not bear heavy on
any coal operator. He told of the ex-
perienced miners formerly employed in
the mines, whereas at present the
miners are mostly foreigners and who'll
ly inexperienced.

FARMING FOR WOMEN.
Is Recommended by an Indiana Wo-
man in an Address.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-"If woman would be
treated as an equal, receive the same
consideration as men, the same recon-
pense for their time, they must flee the
city, where even professional men re-
gard them and their talents as inferior,
and take up the attractive avocation of
livestock farming and agriculture" was
the keynote of an address given at the
Chicago WOman's club by Mrs. Vir-
ginia Meredith Cambridge City, Ind,
who believes that livestock raising and
scientific agriculture are an outlet for
mental energy.
Women find livestock farming pecu-
liarly attractive said Mrs. Meredith,
because the open market is the arbi-
ter of values-a comely shorthorn, a
fine horse-these, like bushel of wheat
or a ton of hay. sell on their merits,
with never suggestion that the price
should be discounted because they are
grown on farm owned and managed
by a woman-a discount relentlessly
enforced when women compete in fac
tories, stores, school rooms, or else
where"

HIS WEE ABUSED HIM.
So Albert Webber Brings Action for
Divorce.

Albert Weber. formerly of Kansas
City, but now back in Topeka where
he feels safe, is suing his wife, julia
Weber for divorce. He seems to want
this divorce badly. He married this
wife-a widow OF the grass variety
year ago. He cites in his petition
that she started things early by fore
ing him to make a will in her favor
and continued by soaring him into a
condition of despair.
A short time after he made his will.
she is alleged in the petition to have
assaulted him with case knife, dis
turbing his peace extensively. He be-
lieves that she desires his early death,
and for three months past has re-
Trained from eating anything she
cookS-not, as may be suspected of
some usewives-because her cook
ing iS bad, but because of his fear
that she desires his sudden demise.
He was married to this remarkable
spouse on December 2. 1907, and ex-
actly one year later filed his suit for
a getaway.

ing him with trespassing on Vickery's

was tried and acquitted of the charges
brought against him. He then filed
suit for damages in the Cowley dis

Vickery. He appeals the case on a

This is the same case the Topeka

great regularity a unanimous verdict

OF course this is wholly and absolute

inasmuch as the State Journal not only

has loaned its neighbor during the last
thirty days quantities of paper on three
separate occasions, in lots of five tons
