Surgeon DaIy's Report


 Washington, September 21, 1s9S '"ro the Assistant Adjutant-G General, Head-
 quarters of the Army, Washington, D. C.
 "Sir:-I have the honor to report in the interest of the service that in several in spections 1 made in the various camps and troopships at Tampa, Jacksonville, Chick amauga and Porto Rico, that l found the fresh beef to be apparently preserved with secret chemicals, which destroys its natural flavor, and which l also believed to be detrimental to the health of the troops.
 While on duty a the headquarters of the army at Tampa, at the same time of the authorization of the Shafter expedition, Col onel Weston, the efficient chief commissary, showed me quarter of beef that had ai- ready, as test, been sixty hours in the : sun without being perceptibly tainted, so far as the sense of smell could detect. It was, impossible to keep fresh beef so long untainted in the sun in that climate without the use of deleterious preserves, acids nitrate of potash injected into it in quan- titles likely to be hurtful to the health of the consumer. At Ponce, Porto Rico, the beef examined arrived on the transports from the United States was also of the same character, being apparently preserved by injected chemicals to aid in cold storage.
 Odor of Decayed Bodies
 .'Where efficient cold storage Is impossible transporting beef alive is the method that should receive the fullest consideration by the government as being safe and for the health of the consumer. When detailed to take charge of the transport Panama for conveying convalescents to the United States, I obtained 1000 pounds of fresh beef from the commissary at Ponce. It looked well, but had an odor similar to that of a dead human body after being injected with preservatives, and tasted when cooked like decomposed boric acid, while, after standing day for further inspection, it became so bitter, nauseous and unpalatable as to be quite impossible for use.
 T was therefore obliged, owing to its con- dition and the just complaints of the sick men about it, and the disgustingy scken- ing odor it emitted when being cooked and the flat taste when served, and the safety of the patients, 225 convalescent soldiers on board, to organize board of survey, con- demn and throw ,50O pounds, all we had, overheard. Consequently, the convalescents were entirely without much needed fresh beef, making the duty of bringing the men to the United States in an improved condi- tion a very difficult matter.

| The session of the intermediate schoo
| closed March 11th for a vacation OF thre'
weeks. Owing to the two severe snow
storms only five scholars were able to at
tend the fourteen weeks without an ab
sent mark. Their names were Harry AL.

The citizens of the town are warranted
In feeling proud of the educational ad
vantages to which their children are priv
ileged. The report of the superintendent
OF schools under the town system shows Q
marked improvement over former years in
the average attendance and educational
advantages. In the Graded district the
attendance is far above the average Of for
mer years, and more 50 during the past
year than ever before, and the advantages
are evidently better than under the dis
trict system. That the teachers are OF the
best no one can dispute. The facilities
are complete, accommodations ample at
present, but should the attendance in
crease, more room will be needed. The
attendance has been sufficiently large to
command an equal share OF the public
money which the whole town is entitled
to. The school expenses have been less
than the town system of schools. The ad-
Vantages OF the new system are best
known TO those who have scholars to at
tend school.
A sad and gloomy event occurred IN the
village last week, and one which created
much excitement. 1t was the sudden and
violent insanity of one of our estimable
citizens, Mr.. Ira Spaulding. He had been
feeling i'll for few days but bad shown
no signs OF violent insanity until Wednes-
day, when his brother-in- -lsw, Chas. Dean,
called to see him. When nearing the house
Mr.. Spaulding saw him and Immediately
went for his gun, which was loaded, and
met him at the door, and taking deliber-
ate aim attempted to shoot him. The gun
had been loaded since fall and it failed to
discharge. Mr.. Dean jumped from him
and ran towards the village, Mr.. Spauld-
ing following him until he came to the
railroad track, on which was standing a
freight train, when Mr.. Dean passed be-
tween the cars and evaded him. Mr..
Spaulding noticed brakeman on top Of
the ear and attempted to shoot him but
the gun again failed him and he returned
home. He was guarded there until the
next morning, when he was taken to the
asylum at Waterbury by Or. Burnett, &C.
companied by Mrs.Spaulding. Mr.Spauld-
ing is an exemplary citizen and highly es-
teemed by all his acquaintances, who
earnestly hope that this trouble will only
be temporary. His family consists of a
wife, young son and daughter, who
sense the affiiction very keenly.
