"PRESERVINE"
Was Used in Preparing the Beef
sent to Uncle Sans Soldiers.

Leavenworth, Kas., March 19.-The
army beef court of inquiry concluded
the taking of testimony at Fort Leav-
enworth at noon to-day, and at AIS
departed for Chicago, where the ses-
sions will be resumed Monday. The

United States cavalry, located at Fort
Robinson, Neb., who served as regimen
tai commissary sergeant at Lakeland,
Fla, and during the Cuban campaign.
Sergeant Mason's testimony was
probably the most direct that has been
adduced since the court left Chicago,
witness declaring that meat received at
Lakeland for use in his regiment was
undoubtedly chemically treated
''An agent of Armour & Co.," he
said, "told me at the time that this
meat had been treated with what was
called PRESERVING
Witness had refused to accept the
meat.
Sergeant Mason was Intercepted In
dividually by each member Of the
court and could not be shaken In his
testimony.

Nervous prostration is a widespread
affection in these days of hustle and
hurry. Everybody is rushing, conse-
quantity men and women overwork
themselves, do not get enough of sleep,
are careless about their food and neg
lect hygienic laws. By and by they
find that they are all run down and
threatened with nervous prostration.
They begin TO use remedies which do
them no good and soon their condition
is pitiable indeed. Skill and expert
ence. however, can restore the lost
health. DR.. Greene, 50 West 14th ST.,
New York City, the famous specialist,
has cured thousands of such cases.
Get his advice if you are in this con-
dition. You can consult DIR. Greene by
letter, free. 1t costs you nothing to
get his advice. Write to him at once
and you will soon be in the way Of re-
covering your lost health.

OIL NEWS.

A new oil territory is to be opened
soon by local capital which gives
promise of being an excellent producing
field. 1t is, and again it is not, wild
cat venture. Capt. Asa Booth, promi-
nent in local oil circles, is at the head
of the project. For the past two weeks
he has been on the ground leasing up
property in the section, and should the
local advancers of the project be sue
cessful in their efforts to raise stock
company, Mr.. Booth can furnish about
1000 acres of choice lands for develop
ment.
These leases are located in Lewis
county, KY, just back of Vanceburg,
a small town below Portsmouth, O.,
and the outlook that the section will
prove a paying venture for anyone
who develops it is very bright. 1t the
very heart of the leased section is an
old well. 1t was drilled way back in
1861. It's contract read for 800 feet
At 750 the tools, which at that early
date were very awkward, were lost
and never recovered. Since that time
oil has been coming up through the
hole. On two sides of this web within
a radius of q of a mile, oil is to be
seen forcing its way to the surface in
low ravines.
The matter is in the hands Of two
local business men who will endeavor
to organize a company.

1lNO ANIL " lII1II VI 44<sSs
Wheeling business men will De
greatly interested in the announce
ment that rival of the Bell Telephone
monopoly has come into being, that 1t
is backed by millions, and that it's mot
to is: "a better and cheaper service
for the public" 1t proposes to give
the Bell corporation ''the fight OF MS
life," and judging from the wealth and
reputation of the gentlemen pushing
the venture, things will happen in the
near future.
The gentlemen at the head OF the
Company aspiring to rival the Bell cor
poration are millionaires and represent
other millions beside their own. AT
their head stands Alexander Brown, or
Alexander Brown & Sons, of Baltimore,
Brown Bros. & Co., of New York, Phll-
adelphia and Boston, and Brown, Ship
ley & Co., of Liverpool and London.
With the Messrs. Brown are associated
a large number of very wealthy men.
They have succeeded to the rights and
franchises of the old Home Telephone
Company, of Baltimore, have subscrib-
ed 100000 to the capital stock OF the
corporation, and the Baltimore Council
has passed an ordinance in favor OF
the Company. Already 1900 anti-Bell
telephones are in operation in that city.
The same men have secured from
the Pittsburg Council franchise for
the Pittsburg and Allegheny Telephone
Company, the successor OF the ola
Home Telephone Company of the cities
named, and 100000 have been sub
scribed to the capital stock OF this cor
poration. 1t is announced that the
Pittsburg system will be installed at
once, and that pending it's construction
franchises will be obtained and COM
panies organized in other big cities,
and that ultimately the country will
be covered with a network of telephone
wires antagonistic to the Bell monop-
oily. A Piitsburg gentleman closely
identified with the new Pittsburg Com
pany is quoted as saying
"The new telephone lines IN Pitts
burg will be built ait once. Not only
in Pittsburg, but in several other large
cities of the country, for just now steps
are being taken in this direction. The
Bell monopoly will be given the light
of its life The public is tired of its
methods and charges and will welcome
the advent of any general competitor.
For some time past, as the reading
public is aware, there have been efforts
to secure telephone competition IN this
city. 1t was stated to a repre-
sentative of the Register, last even
ing. that the idea of competition in
Wheeling was by no means dead, and
that, sooner or later, the project would
be revived, particularly If the Pitts
burg enterprise of the Brown syndicate
went through, and he added that the
Browns were accustomed to succeed in
whatever they undertook, as long list
of corporations, capitalized at more
than forty millions in the aggregate, at
tested. This gentleman added that the
territory between Pittsburg and Wheel
ing. and the towns surrounding Dotn
cities afforded an exceptionally inviting
field for rival telephone work, and he
had no doubt the facts had been care
fully examined into. 1t was also in
timated that more specific information
as to this city would be forthcoming in
a short time.

Nothing up to midnight had been
heard Of the CITY OF Pittsburg." It is
thought that the boat surely got away
sometime yesterday from Marietta. II
there had been any hitch in the matter
of her building due notification of the
fact would have been sent out. As the
affair now stands it is only a matter
Of conjecture at what time the boat
will pass up. 1t was the original in
teDtion of Capt. Scott, who is now in
charge, to stop at this point for a little
while at least. But since the boat has
been so delayed in getting out plans
may have been changed.
