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.

Who Knows It? A Mys tery Unsolved. FROM A. M'D. WILSON. Mr. Walter A. Taylor, Chairman Meat Xnapectlon Committee, Atlanta, On.: Dear Rlr—I regret to learn that there hae been some opposition to the pass age of the ordinance drafted by your committee on meat Inspection. I feet deeply Interested In this matter myself, and am surprised that any clttsen who has the people of Atlanta's Interest at stake would oppose any ordinance that would protect the city from unclean or unwholesome meat, and am glad to aee The Atlanta Oeorglan of Saturday, Aug. 25. come out and take up the cause of the people, and want to con gratulate your committee and The Georgian on the efforts put forth for the betterment of local conditions. Yours respectfully; A. M'D. WILSON. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27. 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.' REBELS SCATTERED BY CUBAN TROOPS Battle Is Reported From Near Cas- cobal. MANY RUMORS REACH HAVANA It Is Denied That Rebels Are To Be Begged To Quit. „ By MANUEL CALVO. By Private Mused Wire. Havana, Aug. 27.—Senor Montalvo, secretary of the Interior, today Issued a bulletin In which he offers amnesty to all Insurgents wli> go to their homes and give up the revolution against the government. 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." What Palma Saya. 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- zas, Camaguay or Santiago.

Stlllmore. Oa., Aug. 27.—Stillmore was again visited by fire early Friday. This time the flames swept away the mammoth sales and livery atablea of E. A. Edenfleld, entailing a heavy Iota. 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. Marion Smith Has Had Ap. pendicitis Several Weeks. Marlon Smith, aon of Governor-.:-, Hoke Smith, waa operated on for an. pendicitis Monday morning by n, McRae. a y ur. The operation was very succejsfut and Mr. Smith Is doing very nicely No complications are expected, and the young man will be able to get out again In a very short time.

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.
