FROM. W.ThOUSTON.
Mr. Walter Taylor, Atlanta, Oa.:
My Dear Sir—I notice with much
pleasure your effort, In behalf of pro
tecting our people from polluted meat.
Iln thl, connection I want to relate a
circumstance coming under my Imme
diate observation.
While visiting In the state of Iowa
four year, ago. a friend carried me ten
mile. In the country fo see some 2-
yesr-old steer, he wa» fattening for
market. These steers averaged 1,100
pounds, were uniform in color, and
from all outward appearances I could
aee nothing but perfection In every par
ticular. The owner drove them Into
the shipping point the same week, and
to keep them up to their full stand
ard. only required them driven about
two mile, an hour.
I was present when they were driven
in the pen for shipment to an Eastern
market, and noticed that seven of them
were singled out and driven Into a sep
arate i>en, and I very naturally In
quired why they wore left out, receiv
ing a very frank reply, that they would
not pass Inspected In an Eastern mar
ket, but would pass alt right for the
Southern market, hnd would go to Kan
sas City for slaughter, while the others
Would go to Chicago, thenco to the
East.
These seven head, to my eye, looked
quite as perfect as the remainder, und
on Inquiry X learned they had a disease
called lump Jaw and would t>« con
demned In Chicago. I Immediately .no
tified one of our leading dally papers,
Baking them to take the matter up, and
ventilate the fraud upon our people,
but nothing was ever printed or said
about It. Yours very truly.

LIFE OF THE CZAR
OBJECT OF THREATS
Continued from Pago One,
nation that had been assigned to him.
A report from Luga says that Colonel
Reiman hae been assassinated. The
oolonei was a member of the Semlnov-
Slty guard regiment, and was on his
way to Warsaw to take a position on
the governor general’s staff.
Reign of Terror Near.
Every sign points to a period of
bloodshed In Russia such as has not
been seen since the days of the reign
of terror in France. It is significant
that women, many of them young girls,
are selected as the executioners of
these officials condemned to death.
Thousands of educated young women
are crying for vengeance for the ln-
>ults and cruelties heaped upon their
sisters and are at the call of the ter
rorists.
General Min, next to General Tre-
poff, has been one of the most hated
men In Russia. He and his regiment
on more than one occasion have been
sent to suppress disorders, and he has
performed his task with such bitter
severity that It Is alleged his own sol
diers have threatened to shoot him on
the first opportunity.
Widow 8sizes Slayer.
The grner&l was returning from the
capital to his summer residence at Pe-
terhof, when he met his death. He
had Just been greeted by his wife and
daughter at the Peterhof station, when
the girl approached from behind and
fired tWo shots Into his back. He sank
to the platform and the girl, leaning
«>\er him, fired three more shots Into
hln body.
Further shots were prevented by
Mine. W n. who sprang at the girl and
seized the hand that held the pistol.
Th** daughter screamed and threw her
self upon her father’s body. The as-
sHwln straggled with Mme. Min, who
b*-M her, however, until the guards ar-
rivod. Then the girl, wild eyed and
dlslievelei« made an Impassioned
speech, warning the autocracy of Rus
sia that other oppressors of the people
would share the fate of General Min.
Qirl Also Had Bomb.
A crowd gathered, and the girl
pointed calmly to a satchel she had
left on the platform.
"Be careful how you handle that
satchel/* she said; "there Is death In
It.*’
A bomb of the most dangerous#char-
ncter was found In It. The girl refused
to give her name.
The attempt on the life of the czar
came desperately near being success
ful. Only the vigilance observed since
the attempt on M. Stolypln led to the
discovery of the would-be assassins,
who were members of the Moscow
group of terrorists. One of them had
succeeded In entering the palace
grounds with a bomb concealed In a
basket of fruit. ,The other was about
to enter.
Other attempted killings are report
ed In other sections of the empire. An
unsuccessful attempt tvos made on the
life of the governor of Dllsabethpol.
Bombs Ar^ Thrown.
A bomb was thrown at a patrol at
Hendsin, In the government of Plo-
trokoff. Two policemen were blown
to pieces sad ten Injured. The sol
diers fired a volley, wounding twenty
persons.
A bomb was thrown at the district
chief of Gory, named LeontiefT, as ho
was driving In his carriage with a
guard. Tho vehicle was shattered and
the guard dangerously wounded.
In Osaenovn, near.Chnrkoff, six arm
ed men entered the t’nntonal board
room and seized the passport forms,
taking over 1,000 rubles In paper
money. On the snme evening another
band seised a merchant named Voloff-
nlff and forced him to glvo them 12,000
rubles.
Nt!ar the Snhvnyn Klneshnia eight
anarchists attacked the cashier of Ba-
kaklns works and robbed him of 28,000
rubles. In Orekhoff, Central Russia, a
church wns pillaged and 10,000 rubles
abstracted.
Engagement of Mr.
Day and Miss Allen
Announced.
The prettiest girl In the South la to
marry a New Yorker.
When President Roosevelt visited
the Technological school 'In Atlanta
last October a number of young wo-
nlen were presented to him. One of
these was Miss Adelaide Allen,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Pierce Allen, of 506 Spring street.
"The prettiest girl I have seen In
the South,” said the President.
Anfl now the'annouheement Is made
.of the marriage, of Leonard Day, of
Nclv York, to Miss Allen. The mar
riage will take place In the early
spring.
Miss Allen spent last winter
Washington, where sho studied music.
Here she met Leonard Day, formerly
of Fitchburg, Mass., a graduate of Co
lumbia University and the younger
member of a well known New York law
Arm. Dan Cuphl did the rest.
Miss Allen's friends believe that
President Roosevolt showed himself a
Judge of beauty ae well as of state
craft. The girl whom he pronounced
the most beautiful he had seen tn the
South Is not of tho nccepted Southern
type. She Is a puro blonde instead of
the brunette usually pictured as the
Southern benuty. But ehe has a grace
and charm that Is all her own and
the voice that Is hol’d only In tho
South. She Is a graduate of Farmount
seminary, at Washington, and n musi
cian of more than ordinary accomplish
ments.
JE WS CAST OUT OF CHURCH
EDITOR WHO SLANDERED
By Private I.oummI Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 27.—Declared a rene
gade, a disgrace to hla race and faith,
and n traducer, Joel Ltebllng, editor
of the Jewiah Dally Preen, was excom
municated and pronounced an outcast
by delegatee representing every ortho
dox Jew synagogue and temple In
Chicago yesterday.
In tho resolutions which declared the
editor nn outcast, it was voted that
the same anathema should descend on
whoever might befriend him. Further,
It was decreed that copies of the reso
lutions should be sent to every Jewish
community In the world. Following
the adoption of the resolutions the
question of putting Llebltng outside the
pale of the church was taken up, Rab
bis Kpstein, Brady and Hamburger
consulted the law and the prophets to
decide whether the offense with which
he was charged would warrant such a
course.
It was decided that the excommuni
cation would be proper, and aftfcr the
regular forms In the ritual of Jewish
worship had been performed, It was
announced by Rabbi Kpstein that "In
tho nnme of God and by the authority
of the assembly of Jewish congrega
tions," one Joel Llebltng was read out
of tho synagogue and the fellowship
of all orthodox Jews. The excommu
nication does not affect his wife and
son, ns they are declared to be Inno
cent parties.
Ltebllng. ns the editor of the Jewish
paper, was accused of slandering re
spectable and even noted persons of the
Jewish race, as a remainder that It
would be well either to advertise In
or subscribe for his journal. A few
months ago he wns said to have been
horsewhipped by Miss T. Weinsaker
for alleged libelous and scandalous
statements. Finally, It was charged,
he called a mbbl, for 35 years one of
the most respected in the city, a de
generate and a drunkard. This last
charge was the cause of the most in
tense resentment.
For the twenty-four new positions
on the county police force created at
a special meeting of the county com
missioners Saturday, at least 300 ap
plications have been made already.
All day long "I’d like to see you
for a •few minutes" has been dinned
into the ears pf Chief A. Q. Turner,
Sheriff J. W. Nelms, Secretary Hen
ry M. Wood, 6f the county commis
sioners, and the various members’ of
the commission themselves.
The applicants have been of various
sizes, shapes and ages and include
members of the city police force, street
railway employees and men In dozens
of other vocations. The seventy-five-
dollar-per- month salary of the depu-
ty-sherlff-road-inspector looks good to
lots of people, and they go after It
without knowing that they will have to
furnish their own horses and arms and
uniforms and other equipment, at a
coat of some $250, before they begin
to go to the county for their salary.
Chief Turner said Monday morning
that the three lieutenants who will
command the different posts would be
elected by the men themselves as soon
as the full force had been selected.
"That'll be where political wires will
be pulled, ffor sure,” said the chief.
"I'm going to let the men select their
own officers, and If a dead-lock de
velops they'll have to make the best
of It. I’m not going to break It.”
The identity of the "Zelgler system, 1
recommended as the best method of
communication between the posts, Is a
mystery. Some one said that It was
the article needed, but what was It?
Sheriff Nelms, who recommended It,
said it'had been recomntended to him
by some one else, but that some one
knew not the system. Zelgler Is not
In the vocabulary of the city police
department, and no one has yet been
located who can tell what It Is be
yond that It provides a way for the
men of the three posts to keep In touch
with each other, and with probably
the country districts and the Tower.
Blanks whereon to make applica
tions for the new positions have been
made up, and are In the hands of the
printer. They will be ready for dis
tribution to applicants at the office of
nn i r ,y Th^ n »^
excluding men wpo jjrlnk. oc'have bad
reputation*. It M vrobnBlff’that' all
things being equal men tram, the coun
try districts will be given the prefer
ence.
As announced In late editions of
Saturday's Georgian, the county police
forco was Increased from twelve to
thirty-six men at a special meeting of
the county commissioners. It was de
cided to abolish the Atlanta headquar
ters and divide the county Into three
departments, with headquarters In dif
ferent sections undor lieutenants. In
addition to the regular force *1* spe
cial deputies will be appointed In each
militia district to serve without pay,
and will be given power to make ar
rests. The Increase win be mads as
early as possible.'

Special Cable—Copyright.
Havana, Ouba, Aug. 27.—Outside a
few unimportant skirmishes In the
provinces of Hanava, I’inar del Rio and
Santa Clara, there Has been no fighting
In Cuba for the past twenty-four hours,
so far as can be learned. The govern
ment Is doing all In Its power, how
ever, to prevent the publication of news
from the field. As a natural result
rumors were plentiful. One Is to the
effect that Guerra has been brought to
bay near Guanes, and that a decisive
battle Is now being fought at that point
In the Vuelta abajo. It Is Impossible
to verify the reports. It Is generally
discredited In well-informed circles.
Another Is to the effect that the prov
ince of Santiago Is aflame with rebel
lion and that the government Is sup
pressing the bad news from this dis
trict. This Is denied by General Mon
talvo, who declares all Is quiet In San
tiago.
Several men are reported killed and
wounded In Bn engagement near Cas-
cobal between government troops un-
der Major Gomez and a rebel band.
The rebels were scattered.
In Havana province Colonel Asbert,
who succeeded Ilnnderas In command
of the rebel forces, Is very active. He
has gained many recruits and Is secur
ing others hourly.
Rebels Are Victorious.
In two skirmishes with government
troops the forces of Colonel Albert
have been victorious. He soys he does
not seek bloodshed and his men have
fought only when attacked, as they do
not wish to kill brother Cubans.
General Ramael Montalvo, acting sec
retary of the interior, announces that
there Is no Intention on the part of the
government to declare a thirty days'
amnesty and Invite the rebels to lay
down their arms.
Ex-Congressman Carlos . Mendleta,
chief of the uprising in-Santa Clara
province, and Captain Aranaw, hts ad
Jutant, have been captured by govern
ment troops. They were about to leave
for the north and had $8,000 with them,
with which It Is supposed , they were
going to buy arms for the rebels.
Fifty rebels from Guano and forty
others entered Gulra and captured some
arms. The citizens of Antonio Banos
have Joined a rebel party, which was
passing that place.
FUNSTON SAYS SITUATION
IN CUBA IS SERIOUS.
By Private Mailed Wire.
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 27.—The crtlcal
situation In Cuba Is being watched
with much Interest In the United States
army camp at American Lake, especial
Iy by officers who saw service In the
Spanlsh-Amerlean war. Interviewed on
the subject, General Funston, who has
had considerable- experience In Cuban
affairs, declined to express any opinion
as to the outcome of the trouble.
"The situation In Cuba Is serious, 1
said the general, "but I am not In i
position to enlighten the public,
know some of the men who appear to
be taking a prominent part In the In
surrection, and can well believe that
they will cause the government Hrou-
ble."

In a statement today, President Pal
ma declares that the revolutionary
movement soon will be stamped out.
He says there Is no trouble In Matan-

The half forgotten chorus of "Put Me
Off at Buftjjlo” came back Monday to
many a min who had planned a rail
way Journey to seashore or mountains.
Many' a weary Worker who had post
poned his vacation trip to the tall of
the aeason learned with horror that If
he must ride he must pay. '
For there are no more passes. The
edict has gone forth. The blow fell
Monday, and after midnight the mile
age book will bo no more than an
exhausted meal ticket, the annual card
will be even as a greasy deuce In a
dirty deck.
Congress did It. The Interstate com
merce act, known familiarly aa the rate
bill, filled the newspapers for weeks,
but the public heeded not, or heeding
failed to realise Its awful possibili
ties. While rejoicing In the confusion
of the railroads shorn of their rebates
and held up to scorn, the nrmy of
deadheads forgot their own Impending
disaster. For the rate bill cut off all
passes between states and armed the
passenger agent' with a new excuse for
refusing the little bit of blue paper.
“Pay, Pay, Pay."
It'a all off.. The hard working law
maker may ride If he will between the
confines of his constituency and the
city of the state house, but If hla soul
yearn for a journey to Wrlghtavllle
Reach or to gay New York, he must
dig deep Into hts jeans or content his
soul with yearning. The heavy ship
per, In whose pocket has reposed the
annual over many roads, must hie him
to the ticket seller and deliver up
his purse. The ward leader and the
councilman, even while remembering
franchises given without price to this
octopus or that must stay at home
to gaze upon the destruction he has
wrought or seek out the little ticket
window and pay, pay, pay.
The newspaper man! Ah, there was
the most unklndest cut of all. Many
a pusher of the pen retired to his
sanctum Monday, and taking out his
wa)l-worn annual nass gazed fondly
and regretfully as upon the cold corpse
of a departed friend. Many a reporter
who had nursed the hope of a vacation
well earned, a Journey to some iwell-
stocked stream away from births and
deaths and all that makes the deadly
4ull routine went hopefully to the
office of the boss to learn that even
hustlers on the street were not be
neath the notice of the great. Wheth
er to ride and leave no caah for food
or stay at home with cash but no
vacation—that Is the question which
must be confronted.
The edict reaches further. The ad
vance agent of the show, bediamonded,
wordy, promising much snlendor, must
pay his coin for fare like the lowliest
chorus girl. The clerks In railroad of
fices, whose weekly trips to springs
and sister cities have made them the
envy of their fellows must spend their
Kundnys where the soda splatters In
the glass or hie them to the zoo for
entertainment. The mandate of the
lawmakers In congress assembled has
forgotten no one. Only the officials
of common carrier* may Journey from
state to state and heed not the voice
of the conductor crying, •Tickets."
Railr.oads Post Notices.
Those In Atlanta who had forgotten
were reminded forcibly on Monday. On
the walls and pillars at the railway
stations were posted notices warning
passengers to present no Interstate
mileage books nor passes after mid
night or In the days to follow. Ac
companying the warning was the re
minder that such a crime was punish
able by fine and both the railroad and
the passenger were liable. Conductors
are ordered to take up auch transpor
tation and collect full fare.
Even tickets In exchange for adver
tising are abolished. Railroads which
advertise In newspapers usually pay
their bills by Issuing transportation.
Monday morning the business man
agers received circulars from the vari
ous roads ordering all contracts can
celled and warning the papers to use
no mileage or other transportation aft
er midnight. It was stated that new
advertising contracts on a different
basis would be arranged In a short
time.
.There la but one ray. of light In the
gloomy horizon for the pass user. The
Interstate law rakes no .cognizance of
a trip within the boundaries of a state
and the roads are free to use their
own discretion in such mattery. Wheth
er tho roads will evade the spirit of
the act by Issuing passes to the state
line and from state line to other points
through offices In the respective states
Is still In doubt. But It Is certain that
the railroads, never prone to grant a
pass where this could be avoided, will
strain no points to give a free ride to
any but those high in authority.
The law against passes will If closely
Interpreted force the railroads to pay
transportation for their own traveling
agents, when they travel over other
roads unless such sgents can be con
sidered "officials" of the companies. It
deprives the families of all employees
of their accustomed free trips during
the summer. It prevents the granting
of passes to promoters of excursion
parties In return for their services. The
great army of deadheads must learn
to pay or stay at home, and the army
haa been growing. It Is n proverb with
railroads as with theaters that one
who has once secured a pass will never
be content to pay his way again. But
some of them must learn.
Reduced Rates Stopped.
Not only free passes but reduced
rate tickets under certain conditions
are cut off. The railroads posted an
order Monday that no more half-rate
tickets In cases of distress would be
issued unless the request were accom
panied by the certificate of a reputable
physician. Clergymen, who have been
accustomed to traveling at half price,
must pay full fare. The blow falls
alike upon the Just and the unjust.
But the nll-wlse congress In Its de
sire to aid the poverty-stricken made
one exception. It permits the officials
of the Standard Oil Company to re
ceive passes throughout the union.
Perhaps the I -extent little "rider” In
the bill was overlooked, but It Is there.

ALTERNATE SENATOR8HIP
RACE CREATES INTEREST.
Special to The Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 27.—In ths
general primary election being held In
Alabama today the contest for what Is
known as "alternate senator" has at
tracted as much attention as the ruber-
natorlal race. In fact, this race, which
Is for an entirely new and unheard of
honor, has caused considerable com
ment In Georgia and other states of the
South. The place was created by the
state Democratic executive committee
at Its meeting In Montgomery In Jan
uary, when It adopted plans to govern
the primary. The place, which was
created (because of the fact that the
legislature meets only once every four
years In this state, and because the leg
islature which will be elected Monday
will be called dn to elect the successors
to Sepatgrs' Johnf*T. Morgan and Ed
mund W. Pettus, was dubbed as ths
office of "senator In watting" when first
created. Senator- Morgan’s term ex
pires In the United States senate March
4, 1607, while that of Senator Pettus
ends March 4. 1909. By what has the
appearance of the common consent of
the people of Alabama, Senators Mor
gan and Pettus have lifetime posi
tions.
Hava No Opposition.
In Alabama It seems to be a political
mistake to dare mention opposition to
either of these venerable men. Thay
are without opposition In the coming
primary, and If they live until January
1, 1907, when the new legislature meets,
they will be re-elected by a unanimous
vote. But In the meantime the scram
ble Is for the place of one or the other
or both In the event there Is one or two
vacancies. The two "alternate" sena
tors will simply have » 'pty honors un
til they have the privilege of stepping
Into the shoes willed them by either
Morgan or Pettus. Under the rule of
the primary the candidate getting the
•largest vote will get the first vacancy.
The next highest vote will land the sec
ond candidate.- This means that If one
of the venerdhle men should die the
legislature would be morally obligated
to elect the "alternate” senator nomi
nated Monday, and In the event th*
legislature Is not In session the govern
or will be under obligations to name
the "semitor In waiting."
The law provides for passes for offi
cials of "common carriers," and In an
other paragraph the Standard Oil I'om-
pany Is made a "common carrier.” The
suffering public may console Itself that
when John D. and hla family take a
pleasure trip It will not necessarily add
a cent to the price of oil.
