City Meat Inspection The great value of the pure food law has been proven to our own citizens by the discovery of a diseased bullock at the Richmond Abattoir company by government Inspector, Dr. "Wagoner. The bullock In question apparently a fine, healthy animal, was slaughtered last Wednesday. While still alive it had been inspected by Dr. Wagoner and city inspector of live stockPaddock, both of w horn pronounced It in good condition. After it had been slaughtered, however, and its entrails removed and examined, it wa3 discovered that the animal was in an advanced stage of tuberculosis, and the carcass was accordingly condemned and destroyed. According to Dr. Wagoner this Is the second case of tuberculosis that has been detected by him within the past two weeks. Last week he condemned a cow that had been slaughtered. In this case the farmer who had brought the cow to town stated that his wife who had been drinking milk taken from this cow, was very 111. Dr. Wagoner declared that the man's wife had undoubtedly contracted tuberculosis from the milk of this diseased cow. These two cases establish beyond a doubt the fact that tuberculosis exists among the cattle of Wayne county, a fact that hitherto has been disputed. This discovery is just as important to the farmer who. raises cattle as it Is to Richmond citizens who consume beef. The case mentioned above of the farmer's wife who has contracted tuberculosis from drinking milk taken from a diseased cow, Illustrates the vital importance It is to a farmer to know whether or not his stock Is diseased. Farmers and farm hands can contract the disease very readily as they are In daily contact with their cattle. Furthermore, if one head of a herd of cattle has tuberculosis the entire herd is in danger of being subject to the disease, and In view of the strictness with which the pure food law Is being enforced this would cause a heavy loss to farmers. For their own protection and for the protection of their cattle and the public, the farmers of Wayne county ought to feel bound to subject their herds to the tuberculine test. This test can usually be accomplished in a few hours time and at the expense of a very few dollars compared to tho value of the cattle. Meat Inspected at the Richmond Abattoir company comes to the public in as pure a state as the national laws can provide. All cattle slaughtered there are inspected on foot by the government inspector, Dr. ' Wagoner, and city inspector Paddock. Then after cattle are slaughtered their carcasses and entrails are examined by Dr. Wagoner. By such a complete examination as this the meat sold by the Richmond Abattoir company cannot be otherwise than pure. Other butchers, however, are not aa well protected, as cattle slaughtered by them are subjected to only an examination on foot by city inspector Paddock. No examination is made of carcass or entrails and as Dr. Wagoner's recent experience plainly shows all cattle should be subject to a' further inspection after having been slaughtered. In Germany they facilitate such rigid examinations by requiring all cattle to be slaughtered at one place in every town or city. This system has been adopted in Cincinnati and Lafayette and gives great satisfaction. In Cincinnati, more over, both the government Inspector and the city inspector have to examine cattle not only on foot but also after having been slaughtered. Now the citizens of Richmond should require either that all cattle should be slaughtered at one place where they would be under the close Inspection of the government inspector, or If slaughtering Is to be permitted to continue at different establishments, then the city inspector should be required to inspect cattle not only on foot but also after having been slaughtered. The present salary of $40 a month Is absolutely ' inadequate for the duties the city Inspector should be required by law to perform, and provision should be made to provide a more reasonable salary. In calling attention to the existence of tuberculosis among cattle in Wayne county we do not wish to pose as alarmists or as advocating vegetarianism. Cut we do believe, however, that the public have a right to know of thi3 and that strict laws should be enacted and enforced to protect us all from even the slightest danger of infected meat and to this end Is the Palladium pledged.

A STRIKE IS AVERTED THE RAISE IN 'PAY IS SUBSTANTIAL, MEANING FIVE CENTS MORE -PER HOUR ON DAY WORK.

Great local Interest has surrounded the meeting of the representatives of the Trainmen's Union and the officials of the Pennsylvania, in Pittsburg during the past two weeks. The eastern firemen asked for an increase in wages, basing their grievances upon the ground that since the declaring of the recent ten per cent increase in salaries the conductors were paid more than they earned, stating that firemen worked harder and were greatly underpaid. The western trainmen threatened to strike In sympathy for the yard switchmen who were not members of the organization of Railway Switchmen of America, and who were obliged to work for less money than the union switchmen, although perform ing the same duties. The non-union switchmen are all members of the Trainmen's organization hence the threatened walkout in case they were not granted enough extra wages in addition to the recent ten per cent general raise, to make their compensation for service equal to that of the members of the switchmen's union. The request on the part of the representatives of the trainmen for an increase In the wages of the switchmen was granted by the railroad officials. Richmond switchmen drew 22 cents per hour before the demands were made but will now draw 27 cents an hour for day duty and 28 cents for night work. The Richmond division trainmen were represented at the consultation with the officials of the company, by Carl Christy, representing the firemen's division, E. J. Manford, representing the engineer's division and Perry Rogers, representing the brakemen's division of the trainmen's union. All of the Richmond division representatives at the meeting wer Richmond men. NOT AFFECTED BY LAW No Need for "Short Crew" Bill so Far as "Pennsy" Men Are Concerned. Governor Hanly signed the full crew bill recently passed by the Indiana legislature and hereafter those railroad companies placing trains on the roads, with "short" crews will suffer. In speaking of the matter yesterday a trainmen who has served on several different railroads in the state, said: "The bill will vdo a great deal toward making the work of the trainmen more safe on the smaller roads of the state where short crews have been the vogue. It corrects a condition which has long needed correction. The bill will make the handling of long and bulky trains a much safer proposition than in 'heretofore, where they were sometimes sent out with too few men to properly take charge of them. The bill is greatly interesting trainmen all over Indiana, although we as employes of the Pennsylvania are not required to serve on trains where there are 'short' crews. They Await Information. Although the local telegraphers in the main office of the Western union telegraph office will benefit in the recent fifteen per cent raise granted by the company, there remains some doubt whether or not the telegraphers in the branch office at the Pennsylvania station are Included in the increase. Supt Burr- of the Western Union has as yet ascertained nothing in regard to the matter. GLAD OnxlfCHABGE VIEWS OF A CONDUCTOR Well Pleased with the Clause in the Two-Cent Fare Law Compelling Passengers Without Ticket to Pay Half Cent Additional. "I certainly am glad to see the Indiana legislature add the clause which requires passengers to pay an additional one half cent per mile for transportation when paying their fares on the train," remarked an old passenger conductor who has run between In diana and Ohio points and through Richmond for several years. Continuing, he said: "If that clause had not been attached to the bill we conductors certainly would have had our hands full. People are only too anxious to save the time and worry of buying tickets and take their vengeance out upon us. I am rather doubtful about one feature, however, and that is that the passengers can receive their additional one-half cent when they arrive at their destination. I believe that this will tend to offset the effect -of the requirement. As a whole, however, it will save us much work. In Ohio at the present time, where there Is a flat rate of two cents both for ticket purchasers and those who do not purchase the pasteboards, we collect as many cash fares as we do tickets, and to say that it is a nuisaiice is -Putting the matter very laild."

According to the statement of a local railroad official the freight representatives of the different railroads which have been in session this week to determine whether or not the freight rates on the railroads east of Chicago and North of the Ohio river shall be raised, came to no definite agreement, although special committees were appointed to arrange a schedule whereby many commodity rates will be eliminated. In this way the railroads can compel the shippers to pay higher rates, in that many of the cheaper commodity rates will be struck out and materials falling within these classes will be listed In a class where the freight rates are much higher. The special committee will be appointed to formulate plans for Increasing the rates and will make its report at another meeting of the freight officials which will be held in Chicago in June.

LOBBY FOR TWO BILLS RAILROAD MEN FOR THEM One of Them Abrogates Contract Between Employe and Company, Exempting Latter from Liability in the Case of Injury or Death. According to the statements of a prominent conductor on one of the Pennsylvania lines entering this city, the three bills now pending before the legislature, with the possible exception of one, will materially affect the majority of the railroad trainmen in the state, although they will not directly affect local railroad men. One of the bills asks that the railroad men not be required to work more than sixteen hours out of every twenty-four. As this bill is practically the same as passed by the United States senate, and now pending before the national house, not much local interest attaches to it, as it has been thoroughly hashed over. Interest in the other bills before the state -legislature, however is great, and a railroad men's lobby has been in the capital city pulling for the passage of the two. One of them requires all railroad corporations to give employes letters of recommendation when they leave the service. The other and third measure abrogates any contract which an employe may sign when he enters the service of a corporation, in which the employe agrees to exempt the corporation from liability in the even; of injury or death. In speaking of the matter, the trainman said that several Indiana railroads and trans state roads, give no letters of recommendation and require their employes to sign anti-liability clauses, but the Pennsylvania does neither, and ncer has asked the employes to do so. He also that whenever a man leaves the Pennsylvania to accept a position on other roads, he always receives a letter of commendation in case he asks for it. He laughingly remarked, however, that men leaving the "Pennsy" service were only too glad . to get back again, owing to the excellent conditions which the corporation throws around its employes. SOME ALLEGED POETRY Local Railroader Moved to Write Something Since Hepburn Passed His Bill. Railroaders are not supposed to own the slightest poetic tendencies, but a railroad man at the Pennsylvania station who at times soars to misty heights and dwells with the muses, yesterday completed the following little stanza which has to deal with the Hepburn railroad bill. Under no circumstances would he allow his name to be used in connection with the poem. It reads: Everybody works but father. He rides around all day; Big mogul on a railroad. He doesn't have to pay. Little Johnny's walking. Also brother Bill; So's the whole D family Since Hepburn passed his bill. WANT THE RATES REDUCED Traveling Men Say Pullman Company Should Cut Down Price of Upper Births. It is said that there is a movement on foot among the traveling men, to bring pressure to bear upon the Pullman car company, in order that the rates for upper berths on sleepers, may be lowered. At the present time an upper berth rents for the same as the lower and more spacious ones. The Pullman rate for berths on Pullman sleepers between Richmond and Pittsburg is $2.00 and to New York $4.00, either in the upper or lower. Traveling men in this city say. that the rate is not fair and will Join! hands with the men of other cities to bring about a change.

Chicago but the baby railroad sent no, trains into the "windy city." j President Bradford in company with : several other officials is in New York ' in order to secure a large loan, that the contemplated elegant through , trains may be a reality and that the road may better compete with roads running between Cincinnati and Chicago. It was given out yesterday at the local station that the connecting links between Hammond and South ; Chicago terminal were completed but a guess at what date the trains would enter Chicago was not ventured. PAY CAR COMES TODAY. Today will be one of rejoicing at the local Pennslyvania, station; shops and yards, all due to the fact that the pay car will arrive here at 11:30 this morning. The car however will leave almost Immediately for Cincin nati and will return here Sunday and ! remain until Monday morning at which time it will go on to Logansport. SETTLEMENT EFFECTED. After much "rag" chewing General Manager Atterbury of the Pennsylvania lines east has come to satisfactory terms with the locomotive firemen serving on the eastern divisions of the system. Just on what terms the officials and firemen came to terms is not known among the local firemen and railroad officials. Railroad Notes. , Charles Roser, stenographer In-the local Pennsylvania freight office has resumed his duties after having been off a week on account of death. H. J.

POLES MADE OF CEMENT "PENNSY" MAY USE THEM Hardly Probable, However That They Will be Placed Along the Richmond Division of the Company. The advisability of largely experimenting in the construction of cement telegraph poles for use on the different western divisions of the Pennsylvania, is now being considered by western officials of the system. Only a few cement telegraph poles have been manufactured in this ' country and there is a difference of opinion as to their probable success. Since the Pennsylvania placed an order for six thousand stell and cement ties, the telegraph pole proposition has gained strength. When asked yesterday whether or not any of the new poles would be placed along the Richmond division an official in the offices at the local station, said that he thought it hardly probable, although he did not know definitely. The prevalence of leprosy In Cape Colony, and the problems presented by the disease were the subject of an address, in London the other day, by Dr. Sutherland Black, formerly of Robben. Ireland.

r. RUSSIAN OFFICERS DECIDED YELLOW Gen. Kuropatkin Says They Are Responsible for Loss of Jap War. TO WIN WAS IMPOSSIBLE ARMY WAS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF CONFUSION LOW CONDITION OF MORALS AMONG THE TROOPS. Publishers' Press: St. FetersDa.B, tto. 16. Amazing revelations of inefficiency, disorganization and Insubordination are made in General Kuropatkin's history of the Russo-Japanese war, which has at last become accessible. The work had been confiscated by the Russian government because of Its scathing indictment of high army officials. Th history consists of three bulky volumes respectively devoted to the three crucial events of tbe war, the battle of the Sha river, the battle of Liao Yang and the battle of Mukden. Kuropatkin's reasons of the failure of the war are based chiefly on a comparison of the warlike spirit of the Japanese, their preparedness and valor, which, he says, had never been seen in any previous war, and their ability to maintain the numerical superiority necessary to assume the offensive, with the disadvantages of Russia, owing to the inadequacy of tbe single track railway from Europe in feeding her fighting strength, with commanding officers disobeying orders and in a hopeless state of confusion and cross purposes, with a low state of morale and confidence among the troops and continuous news from home of internal troubles and of insults and reproaches against the army. The general closes his survey of the cause of the' defeat of the Russians with the pathetic reflection that if Russians had been united and ready to make the sacrifice necessary to safeguard her dignity and integrity, the "valiant Russfan army would have striven until the. foe was subdued."
