representative of the pure food com
missioner revealed the fact that one

good condition, while the other three

One plan that is meeting with general
approval is the constructions of pub
lie slaughter house at which all ami
mails would be Killed and which would
be sanitary in every respect.
Such slaughter house could be
maintained either by a toll from the
butcher shops or by the formation of
a Joint stock company with the meat

GOES TO MILL, DISAPPEARS.
North Dakota Farmer Missing for Two
Weeks.

Bismarck, NJ D., Jan. 5.--John Har-
smith, farmer living near Krem, left
his home two weeks ago supposedly on
his way to the mill at K=em, but ne
has not been seen nor heard from
since. His wife waited until she lost
hope of his return and notified rela-
tives who lived about eighty miles
from her claim, and a searching party
was formed.
Although a thorough search was
made for number Of day there was
no trace of the man to be found.
The mill was only twelve miles from
the farm mouse, and there is much
speculation as to how the man could
have been lost in going that short dis
lance. as there was no storm at the
time of the disappearance nor has
there been one since of sufficient force
to have caused one acquainted with
the country as Harsmith was to have
lost his way.

shortage in bacon producing hogs.
Some Burbank will have to invent
daschund breed of hogs that will be
pretty nearly all bacon, before the
price goes down.
AS 1t is, bacon is the king of meats
just now Sirloin steak at 30 cents a
pound and porterhouse at % cents
must doff their lids TO King Bacon
AS a matter of record, the price of
bacon has gone up nearly 400 per cent
during the last 10 years. For num-
Der of mysterious reasons that still
are unexplained the forces that usual
~ resulted in hammering the price OF
bacon down seemed TO have an oppo-
site effect upon the food. The packers
insisted that they couldn't get enough
hogs to supply the demand; that they
were losing money because the pork
ers weren't being received at the stock
yards.
But the market report showed that
the demand for live hogs was weak
and that they were left standing in
the pens daily. It showed also that
/ the prices today are much lower for
the live hog than six months and a
year ago, when no retailer would have
considered asking 40 cents for pound
/ of bacon.
The only remedy is for people to cut
out eating bacon. Please pass the pate
de fois gras.

The large increase in the democratic
strength in the United States senate
is quite as notable, in its way, as the
capture of the house by the democrats.
There could have been no better test
of the reality of the ground swell in
favor of the democratic party than the
capture of the legislatures in so many
northern states in a year when United
States senators were to be chosen.
The senate will gain in popular inter
est as political arena, with the par
ties so evenly divided therein, and it
will be a gain for the country to have
so many northern senators to mingle
with the southern phalanx OF the op-
position. IN its membership as
whole, the senate after March next
will be radically changed. with so
many of the familiar figures gone for
ever.

The New South Africn.

Most persons failed to note in the
excitement of the closing days Of the
election campaign, that great event
occurred on Friday week ago. The
reference is to the opening of the first
parliament of the union of South At
RIGA at Cape Town.
The union is modelled on the same
general lines binding the provinces of
Canada into the dominion of Canada.
Gladstone, son of the immortal VIII
liam Ewart Gladstone, is governor
general of the union, and Louis Betha,
commander in the Boer war on the
side of the Dutch is premier. The
new union starts out wei.
The thread linking the union to
England is a slender but strong one.
The ties uniting the colonies are likely
to prove indissOluble. The union is
a logical political formation, likely to
be productive of great good and to in
sure continued peace.
Yet consulting the brilliant future
that opens before it one cannot quite
forget the sacrifice OF human lives
and the waste of vast treasure attend
ing accomplishment of the British de-
sign
The republics of the future, and au-
tonomous dominions, let us hope, will
be born without baptism of blood.
