AN lNHUMAN CUSTOM

We saw a man ride into town
Jew days ago with a bunch OF chick
ems, tied by the legs with chord and
slung across his hOrse-chickens on
one side, turkeys on the other That
man had ridden fifteen miles TO reach
town. Think OF what those fowls
must have suffered on this long, JOLT
ing ride-their heads hanging down,
their muscles strained and stretched.
the blood all rushing to their heads
The wonder is that they lived to
reach town. After they were united
they lay still on the floor for a long
time, unable 10 stand on their feet.
No wonder. II is not Uncommon TO
see delivery boys from the stores
swinging chickens by the legs deliv-
ering them TO customers. The suffer
ing chicken rebels, and tries TO ffut-
ter up and raise its head, but is

along.
Not only is this an inhuman
custom, but fowl treated in this
manner is utterly unfit for food, al
least for days afterwards. Fever sets
up, and the flesh becomes poisoned,
and every merchant who buys one
treated in this manner is buying a
sick fowl, and every customer who
buys is eating sick fowl. No chick
en- so treated is fit to eat for several
days, and, it is said, never as good
as If treated differently.
There ought to be a law to prohib-
1t the selling of fowls in town treat
ed in this inhuman and unheaIthful
manner. In the absence of such n
law the merchants should refuse to
buy them, and if they refuse, custom
ers should take steps to protect them
selves against impure and unhealthy
meat. The man who treats fowls in
, this manner is not one whit better
than the man who rides his horse
TO town and lets him stand all day =,
and sometimes far into the night
hitched TO a pos: in the cold, without
n blan ket over him or anything to
eat. " A righteous man is mercifuI TO
his beast'-and his fowls.

Minnesota and Smallpox

In Minnesota the health authori-
ties never quarantine small pox patti
ents, but allow them to roam the
streets at will. They say that those
who have been vaccinated need have
no fear, and those who won't be
must suffer the consequences. AS a
result vaccination in that state is al
most universal. Quarantining will
not stop the spread of small pox, the
only safe remedy being vaccination.
Small pox exists in many counties
OF this state, and county Boards of
Health should exercise their rights
under the law, and where danger
exists order vaccination.

in the matter of making disposition
of which property ALL the people

was called for a special meeting at
the hour of 10 O'clock this morning
by President c. u. Cherrington. The
call for the meeting was issued with

purpose of the meeting was until they

Copies OF the memorial will be for
warded to the various senators and
representatives in Washington and to
the local representatives in the Den
yer Legislature. Prof. Young stated
that he was desirous of having as
many signatures attached as posi-
ble in order to demonstrate that the
desire to have the property turned
over to the Western University was
general.
None of the citizens actively op-
posed to the university idea and
who are lighting for the Normal
School proposition knew of the meet
ing this morning and therefore no
champion of the Normal School idea
was present at the meeting, and as n
result there is considerable dissatis-
faction this afternoon among those
who want Normal School over this
action of the Chamber of Commerce
directorate in meeting without public
notice and without giving one side
any notice. aud putting the most i'm

side of a question ana without giving
the other side of the question any
hearing whatever at the meeting.
The memorial is being circulated
for signatures this afternoon.
There may be other important de
yelopments in the matter before the
memorials are forwarded to Denver
and to Washington.
The sudden and unexpected action
of the board of directors created con-
siderable comment on the street to-
day, as IL was not generally believed
that any action like this would be
taken on SO important a matter, and
when sentiment is so greatly divided,
unless public notice was given and all
sides given fair show. but such was
mot done.
