BEWARE THOSE
BEEF BUGS
INSPECTORS WATCHING CARE
LESS BUTCHERS BECAUSE
CATTLE ARE WORMY THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR..

Loow out for buggy beef. This
is nothing very pleasant, but it is
a tip straight from the city inspec-
ton department. At least one
butcher has already encountered
trouble because of careless dress
ing of meat thereby leaving it I'M
fit for consumption. He wasn't ar
rested, but he should have been
and will be next time, it is stated.
At this season of the year all
cattle are afflicted with a filthy
grub. The egg from whence it
came has been deftly inserted be-
meath the animals skin by a
species of fly, to hatch and to
prosper. The cow doesn't mind it..
particularly, but the grub is moth
ing in the way of sauce for the
beef whe ndevoured by humanity.
According to the inspector, the
grubs can be eliminated by the
butcher in skinning and noone will
be the worse nor the wiser. What
the eye doesn't see the heart never
grieves about. But unless the
butcher works his knife in beyond
the grub's homestead it's the fry
ing pan and some unsuspecting hui
man stomach for the grub. OF

QUESTION
SERIOUS CITY
ISSUE
PROSPECTIVE INDEBTEDNESS
OF FROM 100000 TO $5,ooo,-
900 AGAINST LEGAL LIMIT
OF $4,000, 1868.

When the $4,000 of crematory
obnds to be sold February IS are
disposed Of by City Comptroller
Farley, the bonded debt of the city
will be $2.570,000. In addition to
this amount the city will soon be
called upon to issue 100000 Of
water extension bonds, and a prob
able issue of bridge bonds to COM
plete the Monroe street bridge.
This will make a bonded debt that
seems apparent before the year Is
out, if approved by the citizens, of
$3,570,000. Add to this $1,000,000,
which will likely be asked for new
parks at the same time the water
extension and bridge bonds are to
be voted upon, and if adopted the
bonded debt will be s4,570,000.
Then there is talk of $1,000, 900
being needed for sewer extensions,
and the amount that will be neces-
sary for charging the water works
system should the city ever be
compelled to go to the hills for
water supply is placed at from
$4,000 900 to S5,000,000. AS the total
taxables of the city at the present
time amounts to $62,02S,6S7, max
ing the limit of bonded indebted
ness $6,202,S 6S, it can be seen that
in discussing bond issues the city
is facing a serious financial prob
lem.
The present bonded debt of the
city of these items: General 1hu-
nicipal, per cent, due 1911, $780,
600; water, 6 per cent, due 1911,
100000; refunding water, per
cent, due 1914, $4,000; general
funding, 5h per cent. due 1918,
100000; water additions and ex-
tensions, per cent, due 1925,
$450,000; park improvement, 5 per
cent, due 1927, 100000; bridge
construction and repairs, Az per
cent, due 1888, 100000; crema-
tory, Az per cent, due 1929 (yet to
be Sold, $4,000; total. $2,57O,000.
The floating debt of the city,
which will be largely taken up by
the water extension bonds to be
issued, is $500, $1,000.

HOMELESS NAP
IN CITY HALL

All through the corridors of the
city halls four floors, last night,
was strewn the sleeping forms of
about 400 homeless men, against
whom the tabernacle has been
closed. Many of them sought shell
ter in the halls of the Volunteers
of America and the Salvation Army
and in the Ondawa Inn, but the
largest part of the entire delega-
ton sought sleeping quarters in the
city hall.
Approximately $50 men were
given tickets for meals by Mayor
Moore this morning. The mayor
states that he still has only suf-
ficient funds from the. public emer-
gency donation to feed the men
till Sunday. Then, unless the pub
lie fund is again swollen by some
liberal donations, he will be COM
PEELED to start on the $3.50 appro-

of this latter fund has yet been
used.
Some of the restaurant keepers
who agreed to feed the men on the
special 10 cent meals are already
anxious to know how much long
er the city expects to care for the
men, because feeding these hun

MUSIC AT THE PARK
Museum Receives "a Number of
Valuable Collections

The program rendered by the Golden

tracted thousands to the city's big play
ground. Shortly after noon a brisk
cold wind sprang UP, but it did not pre-
vent the music lovers from enjoying an
excellent program.

valuable collection of Aztec pottery,
some of it estimated to be 5000 wears
old. also a large amount of old pottery
OF the Yaqui, Pueblo, Maricopa, Mojave
and other Indian tribes. The collection
consists of rough staruary, samples of
Eskimo carving and Chinese ivory cary
ing, rs pieces in all. The collection is
loaned to the museum for three years

STRIKES WHALE CALMLY
SLEEPING IN MIDOCEN
Steamship Hirundo Badly DAM
aged. by Impact in Atlantic

After passing through the unique ex-
perience of running down sleeping
whale in midocean and nearly founder
ing in consequence, the Norwegian
steamship Hirundo. from Swansea, ar
rived here yesterday in decidedly.
leal<y and damaged condition as a re-
suit of her novel encounter. Luckily
for the crew. the vessel was in ballast
and stood high out of the water-a
condition which brought the damaged
part partially above the water line.
Had she been deep laden she could
hardly have survived the storms which
followed. As it was, she was % days
in making the run. and when she ar
rived here she was found to be so
badly damaged that it was decided TO
put her in dock at once in order that
the full extent of her injuries might be
ascertained by a board OF survey.
Captain Sorenson. master of the
Hirundo. stated that the vessel struck
the whale on New Years day on the
banks of Newfoundland. The shock
was severely felt and for a moment 1T
was feared that the steamship had
been driven by the storm on some un-
known rock As land was near.

real cause of the mishap were speed

HANDSOME WOODPECKERS
OBTAINED IN MEXICO
Manly Hardy Adds Rare Speci-
mems to His Collection

Manly Hardy, the Brewer naturalist.
has lately received two of the hand
soonest woodpeckers ever seen in this
family ever seen in Maine. They are
imperial woodpeckers from Mexico, and
Hardy has been trying for so years
to obtain them 10 add to his very ex-
tensive collection of American birds
That some idea of their size may be
gained, Hardy has placed the two spe-
cimens he has Just received with an
ivory bill from Florida, the biggest
woodpecker in the United States; also a
specimen of the logcock, or pileated
woodpecker, of the Maine forests The
contrast is striking. the Mexican spe-
cies being very much larger than either
of the other two. Measured from tip
of bill to end of tail the imperial
long. the male having a crimson crest
5 inches long, while the black crest Of
the female is u inches in length. The
markings of the birds are very sir1iIa r
to those of the ivory bill from Florida
The Illinois dealer in birds from whom
Hardy purchased the rare specimens
writes that in the 80 years he has
been collecting birds he has never be-
tried all that time to secure one Both
these were shot in the Sierra noun
tains, near Durango, Mex, at an ele-
vation of 9,100 feet. The birds We're
shot in February. 1904 but were only
recently available for addition to an
American collection Hardy says that
he can scarcely understand how they
succeeded in finding these birds at such
a height, owing to the condition Of the
forestry that would prevail at so great
an elevation. The habits of the log
cock OF Maine are such that he is unIy
found where big trees prevail.-Lewis-
