Of the ordinary that the assembly sat in

The entertainers, who were clad in

through a war song and dance which

youngsters.

Inspection Committee Reports on East
st. Louis Stock Yards.

Washington, July 2-The committee
appointed by Secretary Wilson, COM
posed of d. A D. Melvin of the
bureau Of animal industry, and George
P. AEcCabe solicitor of the department,
which Investigated the charges of J.
F. Harms that the federal meat inspec-
ton service at East St Louis was
rotten and a farce" today reported
that the inspectors there were honest
men and performing their duties eff
GENTLY and that no meat had passed
which was unfit for human food
The report which was submitted TO
the secretary and approved by him, de-
cIares, while there is absolutely no
basis for the charges made by Mr.
Harms. they Will undoubtedly, reflect
injuriously on the foreign market for
american meat food products.
The report concludes as follows:
1T is the belief OF your committee
that the manufacturers al the East St
Louis station. are absolutely honest and
competent: that they are dischargfng
their duty to the service and 10 the
public in a conscientious. high minded,
efficient way and that no meat is pass
ed from the East St. Louis station bear
ing the mark of federal inspection
which is not in every respect tit for
human food The record shows that
rIrany of the employees at the East St.
Louis station have worked overtime in
their efforts to give an honest, efficient
inspection and it is to be regretted
that the word of a disgruntled. dissat-
isfIed enplOye, irresp onstble and an
swerable to no one, should be made the
occasion of an attack on a service
which Is honestly conducted and which
means so much to the American con-

RAISED A BIG FUND.
COngregationaIists Will Pay Debts
and Have Money Left.


New York July 2.-The Congrega-
tionalists OF the United States have
just announced the raising of more
than 100000 of a fund Of 100000 to
liquidate the Indebtedness of the
American board of foreign missions,
the home missionary and the Amer
lean missionary. the latter working
among Indians, negroes and other
classes in this country. This prac-
tica1ly assures the success of the
gigantic undertaking.
Soon after the first of the year
when it was learned that these three
church organizations owed about
$2SO,OO0 it was decided to raise a half
million dollars to pay off this debt
and create an income bearing fund
Prominent men took up the matter
and meetings have been held in more
than one hundred cities in the United
States In seeking subscriptions it
was stipulated that none should be-
come due until a total of at least
100000 had been pledged and that
amount had be to be subscribed by
July 1, or the undertaking would be
abandoned.
When this time limit expired, the
subscriptions were counted I'D at the
headquarters of the Congrega tionalists
in this city and the announcement is
made that they total between $310,-
600 and $315.O00. This money will
now be collected and the committee
will continue seeking subscriptions
until the total of 100000 has been
raised.

PLEA FOR MAIL SERVICE.
Atwood Excited Because of Proposed
DiscOntinuance of star Route.

! The commercial club of Atwood.
| through It's committee, composed of Sem
ator Fred Robertson, J. NJ. Turner and
rank L. Robinson have petitioned the
Tostoft1ce department at Washington to
reconsider the determination to discon-
tinue the star mail route between Colby
and Atwood.
/ Atwood is located on the Burlington
| in Rawlins county while Colby is on the
Rock Island about 40 miles south of
Atwood and is in Thomas county. These
towns nave transacted considerable
business With each other in the past
and mail route directly across the
country IS of great commercial benefit
TO both Of them. If this route is dis
continued mail would have to be car
red by railroad clear to Alma Neb
on It's route from one town to the other
In other words these towns located
only 80 miles apart would have to send
their mail nearly 200 miles over a round
ABOUT route. These towns are located
III the same congressional and senator
ial districts and have much business in
common with each other. To cut of this
mail route would mean that Atwood
CITIZENS VIII have to wait 20 hours long
er for their mail from eastern points.
In dealing with the state capftaI at
Topeka Atwood people can send mail
through by way of Colby over the Rock
Island and it will reach its destination
the next day. while with this mail route
discontinued the mail will have to 20
over the burlington by way of Nebras-
kd ana VIII not Teacl Topeka until the
third day thereafter
The closing paragraph Of the petition
sent by the Atwood Commercial club to
Washington is as follows
I'VE live in Kansas and protest be-
irg annexed to the state Of Nebraska
for any purpose The Colby mail route
is the only way we have of maintaining
direct connection with the people of
our state. To discontinue this route
would practically make US a part of
Nebraska As the service now is we
set our daily papers of the evening
before at noon the next day. The lead /
ing daily paper of our state prints and
mails its largest edition on Saturday
night and We get it over the Colby route /
Sunday noon This gives US that daily
on Sunday noon. The paper referred to. |
the Topeka Daily State Journal, has
over $50 subscribers at Atwood Take
off this route and We would not get
these papers until Monday at 100 D M
It would appear that the discOutin-
uauce Of this mail route will work a /
hardship upon Atwood and serve no /
end Of economy The permanency of a /
star mail route IS based entirely upon /
the amount of business done and the I
saving in time over railroad mail ser
vice, and not from the viewpoint of 4
economy 1t is expected that this mail /
route viii be saved for RaWlinS county

Physicians agree that the

Deed Delivered
for Pioneer Home

Governor Sloan is now in posses
sion of the deed for the tract on
which the Pioneer home will be
built at Prescott, having been tend
cred the legal papers in Prescott,
July 10th, by Major A. j. Doran,
superintendent of the home. Frank
M. Murphy donated the site, con-
sisting of five acres in which is
known as Murphy's park, near
Prescott.
Governor Sloan will submit the
instrument to the board of control
of Phoenix, of which he is the
chairman, and the same will be filed
officially, Action by this board and
the site will be approved.
Early in August the territorial
board of equalization will be in
session, and at that time an estimate
of the general public needs of the
territory for the ensuing year will
be made.
The Pioneer home will be among
the institutions considered. A levy
will cover the amount of the appro-
priation made by the last legislature,
and with that the work of submit
ting plans will be asked. These
plans are to be competitive under
the legislative act that authorize
the erection of the building.
In speaking of the home and the
site on which it is to rest, Governor
Sloan is enthusiastic over the ques-
tion of caring for the pioneer. He
says that this principle should long
ago have been inaugurated, believ-
ing that the men who are to occupy
it deserve not only the gratitude of
the people, but their physical well
fare should be wholesomely regard
ed by every citizen within the
borders of the territory.
There are only a few of the old
boys left" says the governor, "and
as they come down the track on the
homestretch and as they pass under
the wire the race they have run
should be attended at the outcome
with every consideration within the
power of the living to give"
From all over Arizona come re-
ports that architects are working
on plans for the home, and it is
estimated that a dozen sets at least
will be received.
Work on the structure will COM
mence some time this fall, and the
building will be rushed to compile
ton, it being the aim of Major
Doran, the superintendent, to get
the Hassayampers under it's roof as
soon as it is possible to do so.
