Frands in Food Products.

A committee appointed by the state OF
New Jersey some time ago to inquire into
the alleged adulteration of food analysed
623 articles offered for sale and found only
820 of this number TO be pure The canned
goods passed the test all right. OF the
others, however, 90 per cent. were adulter-
ated. The butter sold as butter was but
ter, but the oleomargarine in several cases
proved to be- not good oleomargarine, but
bad butter OF twenty-four samples of
coffee analysed only eight passed inspec-
ton, but the greatest frauds were found to
have been perpetrated in the manufacture
of so called ground spices" The pepper
was made of charred buckwheat hulls and
cocoanut shells, with an addition of cay
enne: the ginger of corn meal, turmeric
and cayenne, and the mustard of corn meal,
little real ginger, turmeric and cayenne.
The lemons were artifcially colored. They
had been picked green and subjected to a
sulphur bath to yellow the skins. The
blood oranges" had been syringed with
aniline dye in order to give the pulp the
requisite sanguine hue. 1t is gratifying to
learn in connection with the orange fraud
that its inventor, an Italian, underwent
ten years penal servitude for his CONNER
cial trick, but the swindle for which pri-
marily he is responsible still exists.

Being thirty miles the shortest line and
ass miles the best one, people insist on buy
ing tickets to Chicago via. the Santa Fe
route
This has given our two night trains
Kansas City to Chicago, a heavy business.
To further accommodate our friends, we
have just put on new through express,
carrying day coaches, free chair cars, and
Pullman sleepers at night, leaving Kansas
CITY 10 a. m, and arriving in Chicago 7:25
a. m. Passengers on this new train have a
daylight ride across Missouri and Iowa.
Remember one thing, that it makes no
difference whether you get into Kansas
City morning or evening, you will find a
Santa Fe train on the track ready to take

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company has lately entered the state OF
Kansas as a competitor for business, and
has opened an office in Wichita, with Mr..
w. II. Graves in charge.
This company, which stands at the head
of the safe, conservative companies oil
America, offers policy which is the quint-
essence Of fairness and justice, backed by
a reserve which is unequalled by any other
company i'm America.
The Connecticut Mutual does absolutely
no "Tontine" "Semi-Tontine, "Distribu-
tion, or any other kind of reserve divi-
dend or forfeiture business, but is now, as
1t always has been, bitter foe to unsafe,
unjust and delusive methods of insurance.
1t pays dividends annually in cash on all
policies, thus affording insurance from the
beginning at net cost.-larger dividends
than are paid by any other company, and
twice as large as are paid by the average

Missouri Pacific railway viii run through
sleeping cars from St Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hin. Fort Scott and Wichita to
GeneSeo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo

Ii also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re

than a tornado-it is now pretty well es-
tablished, had its birth right in the Wyo-
ming valley.
After lowering and muggy day storm
came up from the south, and had hardly
manifested its presence when another
rushed down from the north. The two
tempests met in fierce wrestling and the
elemental havoc spread ruin far and wide.
A broad swath was moved through the
center of Wilkesbarre, and nothing in the
path of the storm escaped its fury. Twen-
ty people lost their lives, many others were
injured and the damage to property
mounts up to hundreds of thousands of
dollars

out Robert Mcneil, there was a struggle,
the report of pistol, and Mcneil fell dead
in the gutter. An ambulance bore the
body away and a policeman took Crum-

Yet to one of these ordinarily harmless
and useful instruments is due a terrible
tragedy of recent date. When the WOODS
Holl express on the Old Colony road dashed
down to Quincy, Mass, at noon the other
day some track repairers got out of the
way, and one of them left jack on the
rails. The result was the wreck Of which
all the country has heard, and in which
sixteen persons lost their lives and twenty
eight were injured.
