CavaIrymen Say Canned and Refrig-

Ieavenworth, Kan, March 1S.-The beef
court of inquiry began its sittings at Fort
Leavenworth this evening.
Several officers of the Sixth Cavalry,
which returned recently from Cuba, after
having gone through the entire camping
there, were examined as to the condition
and quality of meat furnished the men
and the effect il had on their health. In
a general way the witnesses stated that
the meat served from Tampa to Cuba
was good, but became tiresome TO the
men.
Much of the canned beef served In Cuba
up to the time of the surrender of Santi-
ago was unfit for use, as was about one
third of the refrigerator beef, later served
at Camp Hamilton. Complaints among
the men were general. and much sickness
resulted.
Capt Jacob S. Galbraith. first United
States Cavalry, located at Fort Robinson,
Neb.. whose command served through the
entire Cuban campaign, believed the cam
ed meat had been preserved by means OF
chemicals but could not say just what
drugs might have been used.

PROVERBS AND SIGNS.
Forecast of the Future From the
Month Just Passed.
From the London News.

From the London News
There are two classes of weather lore
the entirely superstitious and that which
is based upon natural observation. In the
Interpretation of many weather signs they
often differ, but upon one point they are
in universal and emphatic agreement, and
that IS in condemnation of warm weather
IN February. We had better not begin
therefore, to congratulate ourselves too
soon, as many people are doing upon slip
Ping through the winter so easily So
far the temperature of February has been
the mildest on record for many years, and
the usual announcements of early prim-
roses and spring flowers have appeared
weeks before their customary date But
a warm February is not spring 1t is
only malicious device of winter for fore
ing on the growth of the year TO a point
at which 1t can be destroyed by frosts and
northeasters in April and May.
All the months of the year
Curse a fair Februeer,
says the old English couplet. lone would
rather see wolf than a peasant in his
shirt sleeves in February" is the German
proverb. "a warm February makes the
usurer merry" is it's French version. and
a homely expression of the same idea is
the saying current in many English rural
districts that when the cat lies in the sun
IN February, she will creep behind the
stove in March"
But there is no need to go 40 weatherlore
for condemnation of warmth at this time
OF the year. Any one with eyes In his
head can see very plainly the mischief
that is going on in field and garden. All
Kinds of growth have been fostered into
HnEimQlW
few weeks. Everywhere the buds are IN
toldtng The silly leaflets on bush and
tree are throwing off their protecting
sheaths. The fruit buds on pear and plum
trees have their leathery brown husks
swollen till the creamy white undersur-
face shows Unless a severe check or frost
or harsh wind comes at once, they will
be in sweet state to meet the nipping
airs, without which we never get through
March and April. Ten minutes dash of
hail will ruin them. The blossom that
ventures out cannot go back again. and
II II leaves its sheath at this early date
1t holds Its promise of a summer life by
very precarious tenure. Its chance of
developing into fruit is barely one in a
thousand, its likelier fate being a shriv-
eled death within a week or two of its
venturing out. The experience of last
year is worth noting; January was ex-
cepuonaliy warm and the first half of
February was delightful. "Ah," said
some, this is splendid we are getting
over the winter delightfully."-" Then came
the northeast winds at the end of Feb
ruary, billiards that destroyed all the pre-
mature growth, and the temperature that
delayed the coming of spring till well into
June. Spring in February means winter
in May" was certainly the fact year
ago. But there are exceptions to every
rule. Let us hope that this season will
be one of them.

WILL TEST EFFICACY OF GOV.
ELLERBE's PROCLAMATION.

They Have Returned to Their Homes
and Under the Governors State
ment VIII Look to Conservative
Citizens for PrOtection-TbeFe Is
No Doubt, However, That There Is
Much Feeling Against Them in
Their Communities.
Columbia, s. G. March 1s.-The Tolberts,
who have been under Punishment for their
part in the Phoenix election riots of last
November, have decided to test the eff
cacy of Gov. Ellerbe's proclamation cali
ing upon the people Of Abbeyille and
Greenwood counties TO afford them pro-
lection and permit them to return to their
homes.
Thomas p. Tolbert reached Greenwood
yesterday and went to his home in that
county. R. r. Tolbert who was one OF
the active participants in the trouble, and
who was hunted down, but managed to
escape, has gone back TO Abbeville county,
while James w Tolbert, the postmaster
at Mccormick, has also returned.
So far they have been permitted to re-
sumo their vocations without any demon
stration against them. A correspondent,
writing from the disturbed section, says:
The conservative citizens will do ev-
erything to avert trouble, but there is no
need to disguise the fact that very large
proportion of the people of this section
are decidedly averse to allowing the Toll
berts to remain, and there is much APP
Drehension for thefl, safety"
