Atlanta, Ga.: My Dear Sir—l notice with much pleaeure your efforte in behalf of pro tecting our people from polluted meat, lin thle connection 1 want to relate a circumstance coming ynder my Imme diate obaervatlon. While visiting In the atate of Iowa four years ago, a friend rarrled me ten ' miles In the country to see some 2- yeer-old steers lie was fattening for market. These steers averaged 1,100 isiunde, were uniform In color, and from all outward appearancea I could see 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 miles an hour. 1 was present when they were driven In the pen for shipment to an Eastern market, and noticed that seven of them were singled otit and driven Into a sep arate pen, and I very naturally In quired why they were left out, receiv ing a very frank reply, that they would —' lint pass Inspection In ao'-Hastenr mae- ket, but would pass all right for the Southern market, and 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 ns perfect as the remainder, and on Inquiry I learned they had a disease called lump Jaw and would be con demned In Chicago. I Immediately no tified one of our leading dally papers, asking them to take the matter up, and ventilate the fraud upon our people, but nothing waa ever primed or sa|d about It. Yours very truly, W.

Chicago, Aug. 27,—Declared a rene gade, a disgrace to his race and faith, and a traducer, Joel Ltebllng, editor of the Jewish Dally Press, was excom municated and pronounced an outcast by delegates representing every ortho dox Jew synagogue and temple In Chicago yesterday. In the resolutions which declared the editor an 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 Llebling outside the pale of the church was taken up. Rab bis Epstein, Brody 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 after the regular forms In the ritual of Jewish worship had been performed, It was announbed by Rabbi Epstein that "In the name of God and by the authority of the assembly of Jewish congrega tions," one Joel Llebling was read out of the synagogue *and the fellowship of all orthodox Jews. The excommu nication does not ufTcct hts wife and son, as they are declared to be Inno cent parties. Llebling, as the editor of the Jewish paper, was accused of slandering re spectable and even noted persons of the Jewish race, us a remainder that It would be well either to advertise In or subscribe for his journal. A few months ago he was said to have been horse whipped by Miss T. Welnsaker for alleged libelous and scandalous statements. Finally, It was charged, he called a rabbi, for 35 years one of the most respected In the city, a de generate and a drunkard. This lost charge was the cause of the most in tense resentment. HEAD OF THE REBEL JUNTA BIDS ANDRADE TO A DUEL By Private 1 .eased Wire. New York, Aug. 27.—Colonel Charles M. Aguirre, the American-born Cuban, head of the rebel Junta here, was Irate when he /ead an Interview given at Havana by General Freyere ^ndrade. ex-secretary of the Interior and now speaker of the house of representative*. His fighting blood was aroused when he read that Andrade charged that he has spent money subscribed for the rebel cause. 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 of Chief A. Q. Turner, Sheriff. J. VV. Nelms,, Secretary Hen ry M. \Vood/^>f 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-flte- dollar-per-month salary of the depu- ty-sheriff-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 cost 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 w*ould be elected by the men themselves a* soon as the full force had been selected. "That’ll be where political wires will be pulled, for store,’* 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 "Zeigler system," recommended as the best method of communication between the p^sts, 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 recommended to him by some one else, but that some-one knew not the system. Zeigler 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 ptjovlde* a way for the men of the. three, posts to keep in touch the count ry dlstr Blanks whereon to make applica tions for the now positions have been made up, and are in the hands of the printer. They will be ready for dis tribution to applicants at the offlee of the county commissioners. Wednesday -■ - — - REBELS SCATTERED BY CUBAN TROOPS Battle Is Reported From Near Cas- cobal.

Tho govern ment Is doing all In Its power, how ever, to prevent the publication of news from tho Held. As a natural result rumors were plentiful.' One Is lo the effect that Guerra has been brought to bay near Duanes, and that a decisive battle Is now being fought at that point In the Vuelta abajo. It Is Impossible to verify the reports.

Htlllmore, Ga.. Aug. 27—Stlllmore was again visited by fire early Friday. This time the flames swept away the mammoth sales and livery stable* of E. A. Edenfleld, entailing a heavy loss. The half forgotten chorus of "Put Me Off at Buffttto" cpme back Monday to many a man 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 season learned with Horror that if he must ride he must pay. For there are no more passes. The edict has gone fprth. The blow fell Monday, and after'mldnlght the mile age book will be no more than an exhausted meal ticket, the annual card will be even as a greasy deuce In a dirty deck. Congress did If. The Interstate com merce act, known familiarly as tha rate bill, filled the newspapers tor weeks, hut the public heeded not, or heeding failed to realize Its awful possibili ties. While rejoicing In the confusion of the railroads shorn of their rebates and held up to scorn, the army of deadheads forgot their own Impending disaster. For the rate bill cut oft all pnsses between states and armed the passenger agent with a new excuse for refusing the little bit of blue paper. “Pay, Pay; Pay." It’s all off. The hard working law maker may ride If he will between the coniines of his constituency and the city of the state house, but If hie soul yearn for a Journey to Wrlghtsvllle Beach or to gay New York, he must dig deep Into his Jeans or content hie soul with yearning. The heavy ship per, In whose pocket haa reposed the annual over many roada, 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 gate 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 unklndeat cut of all. Many a pusher of the pen retired to his sanctum 5londay. and taking out his well-worn annual nass gazed fondly and regretfully as upon the cold corpse of u departed friend. Many a reporter who had nursed the hope of a vacation well earned, a Journey to some well- stocked stream away from births end deaths and all that makes the deadly dull routine’ went hopefully to the offlee of the boas to learn that even hustlers on the street were not be neath the notice of the great. Wheth er to ride and leave no cash for food or stay at home with caeh but no vacation—that Is the queetlon w-hlch must be confronted. The edict reaches further. The ad vance agent of the show, bedlamonded, wordy, promising much snlendor, must pay hla coin for fare like the lowliest chorus girl. The clerks In railroad of fices, whose weekly tripe to springe nnd sister cities have made them the envy of their fellows must spend their Sundaes 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 carriers may Journey from state to state and heed not the voice of the conductor crying. ’’Tickets." Rsilreade Post Notices. Those tn Atlanta who had forgotten were reminded forcibly on Monday. On the walls and pillars at the railway statlons 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 line and both the railroad and the petssenger were liable. Conductors are ordered to take up such transpor tation and collect full fare. Even tickets In exchange for adver tising .*re abolished. Railroads which advertise In newspapers usually pay their Mile 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 wns stated that new advertising contracts on a different basis would be arranged In a short tlme.;- There Is but one ray of light In the glsorgy horizon for Um pass user. The interstate law takes' no cognizance of a trip within the boundaries of a state and the roads are free to use their own discretion In such matters. Wheth er the 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 doubl. But It Is certain that the railroads, never prone to grant a pass where this could be avoided, will etraln 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 agents can be con sidered •’officials" of the companies. It deprives the families of all employees of their accustomed free trips during tho 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 has been growing. It Is a 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. Rtduesd Rates Stopped. Not only free passes but reduced ratq tickets under certain conditions are cut off. The railroads posted an order Monday that no more half-rate tickets In case* 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 unlust. But the all-wise congress In Its de sire t,o aid t)ie poverty-stricken made one exception. It permits the officials of the Btandnril oil Company to re ceive passes inroughout the union. Perhaps tho I i 'cent little •'rider’’ In the bill wns overlooked, but It Is there. Marlon Smith, son of Governor-elect Hoke Smith, was operated on for ap pendicitis Monday morning by Dr. McRae. The operation was very successful and Mr. Smith is doing very nicely. No complications are expected, gnd the young man will be able to get out agaln in a very short time. Mr. Smith had an attack of appen dicitis some weeka-ago, but recovered. He determined to have an’ operation performed as soon as hla father's cam paign ended, and with remarkable for- tltude he remained at the offices In the last several days of the campaign, ac complishing a prodigious amount of work. With the successful consummetlon of his work his attention turned to tht operation, and Monday morning Dr. McRae performed It at the Smith home on West Peachtree street. Hon. Hoke Smith did not come down to hts office tn the Peters building during the day. COMER THE FAVORITE IN ALABAMA PRIMARY Continued from Page One. of Birmingham. Secrteary of State—Frank N.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 27.—In the 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, haa caused considerable com ment In Georgia and other statee of the South. The place waa 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 waa created becauae of tha fact that tha leglalature meets only once every four years In this state, and because tha leg islature which will be elected Monday will be' called on to elect the successors to Senators John S’. Morgan and Ed mund W. Pettus,' waa dubbed as the office of "senator In waiting" when first created. Senator Morgan’s term ex pires In the United States senate March 4, 1907, 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. Have No Opposition. In Alabama It seems to be a political mistake to dare mention opposition to either of these venerable men. They are without opposition In the coming primary, and If they live until January , 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 flrst vacancy. The next highest vote will land the sec ond candidate. This means that If one of the venerable men should die the leglalature would be morally obligated to elect the "alternate" senator nomi nated Monday, and In the event the legislature la not In session the govern or will be under obligations to name the "senntor In waiting." The law provides for passes for offi cials of ’’common carriers,” and In an other paragraph the Standard Oil Com- nnnti Is mn.la ■ "PAnimMI i'fl I’H AT " Thfi 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 pries of oil.
