HORSE MEAT IN CHICAGO USED FOR FREE
LUNCHES AND IN BOARDING HOUSES

CHICAGO.-This city has been
shocked by the announcement that
the Illinois food commission has dis
covered two slaughter houses in op-
Grafton here where horses are killed
and their meat sold from lunch coun-
tiers and to families. The discovery
has led to the belief that the indus
try is large one, and a thorough in
of the situation will be
made.
The inspectors have traced the
meat to cheap boarding houses, de-
spite the fact that the proprietors of
the houses declare it is sold to cir
cuses and menageries for animal
food and exported to Denmark
The proprietors of the plants,
which were located outside the city,
near the Desplaines river, were

SEA DEPTHS TO Be EXPLORED
COMING SEARCH MILES BELOW
SURFACE OF WAVES.
The Scientist Has New Apparatus

Sir John Murray Will Send Net
Down to Find Strange Creatures.
Much Still to Be Learned of the
Depth of the Sea.
LONDON-An interesting depart
ure from London recently was that
of Sir John Murray, the well-known
naturalist, as head of an expedition
for the biological physiological ex-
animation of the North Atlantic
ocean. Sir John, who is nearly 70
years old, is equally well known in
America as the naturalist of the
Challenger Expedition.
Just before sailing Sir John gave
brief outline of the objects of the
expedition, which has chartered the
Norwegian vessel, Michael Sars, and
manned it with Norwegian sailors.
Sir John expects to be away four
months. In speaking of his expedi-
ton the naturalist said:
Although l know a good deal
about the depth of the Atlantic
ocean, it's currents and it's inhabi-
tants, there is an enormous field still
My expedition is under

this knowledge, for much is still to

The food inspector who made the
discovery based his statement that
horse meat was being delivered to
cheap restaurants and saloons upon
observations made by himself in Wis

ments and upon the statements of
persons with whom he had talked o.
these trips. A delivery wagon from
one of the horse packing houses

house where Austrians who worked
in a quarry lived, he said.
When the inspectors made their
visit dressed meat from 20 horses
was found hanging in the cooling
room. Thirty barrels filled with
cured horse meat, ready for ship
ment, were found in the picking
room. In the principal work room a
huge kettle of hot water was boil
ing over fire, where men had been
preparing sausage to put on castings.

cratic under any circumstances, is

Kean and Depew are tied up indis-
sOlubly with their respective state
machines and new and ugly dis
closures have involved both organi-
cations in disrepute recently. Not
only are Kean and Depew opposed
for the nomination, but the demo-
Gratis in both states are active and
have hopes of capturing the respect
i've legislatures. The odds, how
ever, favor continued republican con-
Virginia has the fight of his life on
his hands to get the nomination. In
Delaware Henry A. Du Pont, al
though opposed, will again receive
the republican nomination.
Ohio and Indiana are both uncer-
tain, and Senator Dick in the former
and Senator Beveridge in the latter
will have on their hands the fight of
their lives. The democrats are rely
ing upon the strength of Gov. Har-
mon, who is making a fearless ex-
ecutive. Like Harmon in Ohio, Mar
shall, the democratic governor of In
diana, has made good, and the argu-
ment in favor of giving him a demo-
cratic legislature to work with is a
strong one.
Middle West and Far West.
In Michigan, where the democrats
have no show whatever, there is a
hot battle on between Senator Bur-
rows and Representative Charles E.
Townsend, the latter near insur-
gent. In the middle west successors
are to be chosen for Warner of Mis-
souri,; La Toilette, of Wisconsin;
Clapp, of Minnesota McCumber and
Purcell, of North Dakota, and Bur-
kett, of Nebraska. All are republic
cans save Purcell, the appOintee of a
democratic governor. Burkett is vir-
tually certain to be defeated either
by an insurgent republican or a
democrat, the outlook favOring theI
democrats, and a determined effort
is being made to defeat McCumber
in North Dakota. A democrat or an
insurgent is likely to win there.
In the far west six senators are to
be elected, and the democrats pos
sess a splendid opportunity to gain
at least two seats, that in Montana
held by Thomas H. Carter and that
from California held by Frank 2.
Flint. The insurgents in all proba-
bility will gain a senator from Wash
ington to succeed Samuel H. Piles,
who, realizing the certainty of de-
feat, will not run again. Miles Poin-
dexter of Spokane, one of the most
extreme insurgents in the house, is
the leading candidate for Piles place
at this time. Clark of Wyoming,
Nixon of Nevada and Sutherland of
Utah are thought to be sure of re-
election.
In the south no great political
changes are likely to occur.

BURNING THIRST IN WICHITA
UNION STARTS INJUNCTION WAR
AND CUTS OFF SUPPLY.
ParChed CattIeman Tells Woes

So Great Is the DrOuth That IL q
Rattlesnake We're to Bite Stran-
ger He Would Die Unless Ordinary
Medicine Could Relieve Him.
WICHITA, Kan.-Wichita is now
suffering the greatest drouth ever
known in it's history. 1t is so dry
that even the old-timers, who are
personally acquainted with the boot
leggers and who have intimate
friends behind prescription cases
cannot get drink of liquor to
quench their burning thirst. The
only way in which it can be obtained
is to have it shipped in from some
point outside the state.
Joints" which have been running
more or less openly for years are
now closed, and the spiders are MAX
ing webs over the pine board fixtures
and on the top of the box which for
merly contained the 2 per cent and
the squirrel Whiskey. Places
which have been giving forth an
odor of stale beer have lost their
smell, and the man with the lemon
peel-scented breath is seldom met.
Strangers who come to this city
and expect to find a closed" town,
where a drink can be procured after
talk with the hotel porter or the
hack driver, are being disappointed.
They cannot even get a pleasant re-
ply to their inquiries. If a rattle
snake should bite the stranger he
might die, unless ordinary medicine
could relieve him. There is no
'snake-bite" remedy to be procured.

Oldest and best friends, who former
ly always managed to find a little
something to make me feel glad I
had come to Wichita"
The reason of the drouth is that
the city officials are going to show
the state that Wichita is the dryest
place outside of the California desert.
The chief of police has asked the
district court for injunctions against
persons who own property in which
it is alleged liquor has been sold.
and against persons, who, it Is also
alleged, have sold liquor in times
past. And the judge of the district
lcourt has granted the injunctions.
This is the first time this city has
ever tried the injunction plan.

BIG BAPTIST CONVENTION.
To Be Held in Chicago Next Month.
Three Thousand Delegates.

Among the notable gatherings to be
held in the central west this spring
is that of the Northern Baptist Con-
vention, which will meet in Chicago
May 9Th to 18th, inclusive.
This convention represents the
Baptists of the north, and will prob
ably have in attendance $500 to g.
600 delegates. The meeting is a del
egated body and thoroughly repre-
sentative of the northern Baptists.
This convention is an evolution.
The Baptist churches are pure de-
mocracies, each Independent of the
other in every respect, and yet drawn
together by common interests and
for the accomplishing of those things
which are best done in combination.

REFUSED TO DIE.
Discharged From Hospital After Hav-

Ralph Owens, 27 years old, of
Memphis, Tenn, who was taken to
a hospital four months ago with a
broken neck, of which he was aware,
has been discharged as cured.
When taken to the hospital little
hope was entertained for his recov-
cry. His head was placed in a brace,
and his refusal to die attracted much
attention to his case.
Physicians now declare his neck as
sound as ever.
He suffered a fall four months
ago, and attributed the stiffness in
his neck to rheumatism.
