Special to IineS-Republican.
Mason City, Sept 1.-THE extreme
ly unsanitary condition of the slaugh-
ter houses of this city, has just been
discovered by Mayor McConlogue, and
prompt measures are being taken to
correct this condition. Residents in
the vicinity of the various slaughter
houses have made repeated complaints,
and at last Mayor McConlogue. as the
head of the board of health, made a
tour of inspection. He found the exist
ing conditions most deplorable. Half
decayed offal and various remnants of
animal carcasses. were found lying
about in one slaughter house within
| the city limits. Another contained q
large amount of half decayed animal
matter. and a third, which statements
from the proprietor described as being
In the cleanest possible condition, was
found to be most revolving. The
stencil from these places has been al
most unbearable tc, those living In the
vicinity anu iIioSI uHPtSdS-
ant to those living at a distance. The
effect of such conditions upon the
health OF the city cannot but prove
derogatory. and Mayor McConlogue
waxed more indignant upon the visit
ing of each abbatoir. and the discovery
OF more unsanltary conditions in each
place.
Saturday morning one butcher was
fined $40 and given severe reprimand.
All of the others were severely scored.
The law is plain. and obligates cities
to care for their own health in the
matter of requiring the cleanliness Of
such places. The plan of the city for
city abbatoir in which all of the
butchers will kill their meat. and for
which an Inspector will be furnished.
Is gaining more favor since the dis
covery of the rev.olting conditions ex-
listing in the present slaughter houses.
DIR. Albert, the city health officer, has
long advocated this plan, and 1t Is
probable that it will soon become a
reality The abhatoir will include a
caretaker, whose sole task will be to
keep the place clean and sanitary.
This will be in addition TO the In
spector. The people of the city have
long protested against the present
manner Of slaugltering the meat for
the city, and are greatly pleased by
the action of Mayor McConlogue.

The time has passed when kissing
the children and Dragging on wife's
cooking will win, and joining secret
societies and churches is but little
help in running for Office. The old
methods of giving pap a drink behind
the barn, signing notes and meeting
everyone with the glad hand are still
popular, but the most effective cam
paign ammunition now days is the
filthy lucre and the man who Woull
attempt to run for office without
well filed purse is in the class with
the man who sassed his motherin-law
There seems to be wholesale
scramble among Republicans for thu
office OF circuit clerk and the man who
refuses TO become a candidate Is a
rarity. The Office of circuit clerk
pays a salary of $500 per year with
an additional allowance of $3.50 for de.
putty hire. There are no fees which
help tc fatten the job and, according to
estimates from men who are expert
eEced in running for office. the yrob-
able cost of making a creditabie race
for this office at this time IS between
5000 and $500 with odds in favor Of
the latter amount. If there is sliriteI
contest the man nearest the winner
will probably be to as much expense
as the winner, unless he is a SPLEEN
did organizer and knows where to
place his money to the best advantage
The greatest fight this year among
Republican candidates in this county
will be for the nomination which, I'M
der present conditions, will be equiva.
lent to election.
Scarcity of timber in the Republi
can ranks will probably leave the fight
fol the offices of states attorney . Two
and the winner cannot
hope to make his campaign for less
than $500. The office pays about
$1,000 a year.
The cost OF being elected county
should not exceed 800
and the office last year paid not to
exceed $500 to any member. On ac
count of the work as a board of re
view a greater number of days were
required last year than ordinarily and
are paid s. per day.
