PRESERVING EGGS.
Directions for the Use of Water Ginss
Furnished by Prof. Lndd, of
North Dakota College.

Prof. Laid, of North Dakota College
OF Agriculture, in bulletin No. 35, gives
the following directions for the use of
water glass in keeping eggs. Water
glass is silicate of soda or silicate OF
potash, the former being cheaper. II
is not expensive.
If wooden kegs or barrels are to be
used in which to pack the eggs, they
should first be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water TO sweeten and purify
them.
To each ten quarts of water, which
should first be boiled and then cooled
add one quart Of water glass. Pacb
the eggs in the vessel and pour solution
over them, covering well.
Keep the eggs in cool, dark place.
A dry, cool cellar is good place.
If the eggs are kept in too warm q
place the silicate is deposited and the
eggs are not properly protected. Dc
not wash the eggs before packing, for
by so doing you injure their keeping
quality.
For packing use only perfectly fresb
eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved
and may prove harmful to others.
All packed eggs contain a little gas
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making pin hole in the blunt end OF
the egg. To do this hold the egg in the
hand, place the point of pin against
the shell of the egg at the blunt end, and
give the pin quick, sharp blow, just
enough TO drive the pin through the
shell without further injury TO the egg

For Rape
Is Howard Phillips Arrested. The
Dastardly Deed Committed Almost
in the Presence OF Others.

The following account of the deed
and the subsequent arrest of
Phillips is taken from the Buck eye
News Of last week: "Howard
Phillips with crowd of young
folks last Saturday night returning
from the residence Of a man named
Koon, near FloodwOod. When the
party reached the Junction It began
to rain and they all repaired to the
@. II. V. & T. depot to escape the
rain. AS 1t kept on raining some
one proposed that they send and
get some whiskey, and one of the
party acted as messenger and pro-
cured the liquid refreshments. AT
ter drinking whiskey the party
separated into pairs and sought
different corners or sides of the
depot. Then it was that Phillips
committed the rape upon the
Bowen girl. The other members
of the party heard her cries, but
was slow to investigate the cause,
thus giving the brute ample time
to accomplish his purpose.
Phillips is big six. footer and his
victim is small frail creature, not
yet II years old. She claims that
he held both her hands above her
head while he accomplished his
purpose.
But the strange feature about the
matter is the fact that the other
members of the party offered no
resistance. That they would stand
by and permit such a crime, when
they heard the victim crying, shows
a wonderful degree of depravity,
and it would look as if they should
be arrested as accessories to the
crime.
Phillips was given his prelimery
trial before Mayor Buckley, Tues
day, and bound over to the Grand
Jury. The police authorities took
no chances on his escape, this time,
and soon as he was convicted he
was taken to the train and convey
ed to the County Jail. He stands
an elegant chance of doing service
in the Pen"

His Own District
Would Not Recommend Grosvenor to a
Party Preference.

Hon. J. F. White, of Logan, was
In the city last night attending the
meeting Of the board of trustees of
the Boys Industrial home at the
Chittenden hotel. Mr.. White is not
particularly impressed with the
chances of Grosvenor though he is
from the district Of the whiskered
statesman. In conversation with a
friend here during the afternoon he
expressed his sentiments very freely.
"Grosvenor will be the easiest man
Of the trio now generally admitted
to be In the race to beat out in the
convention" he said. HE has
such opposition in his own district
as will make it impossible perhaps
for him to secure solid delegation,
and over the state at large he is sur
prisingly weak, if any dependence
can be put in the reports"
The friend expressed a belief that
Grosvenor would be difficult man
to elect even were he nominated.
"That is the greatest DANGER" ad-
mitted White. "Either Nash or
Daugherty could win far easier
with Grosvenor it will be tooth and
nail battle from the start. 1t Is not
a particularly favorable condition
when man cannot command the
undivided support of his own district.
Grosvenor certainly cannot hold
this in his section; he will have a
fight throughout."-Press.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20. 5.-Major
w. III. DAILY, who was chief surgeon
on the staff OF General Miles in Porto
Rico, gave some strong testimony be-
fore the War Investigating Commits
sion, in support of the charges made by
General Miles that the troops were fed
with chemically prepared beef Major
DAILY Is the officer quoted by the army
commander as saying that the beef had
the odor of an embalmed human body.
The Commissioners questioned Major
DAILY closely, but he did not break down
in his testimony. His manner through
out was that of one who carefully pre-
pared himself. If his statements are
correct, there was more chemically
prepared beef sent to the troops than
the so.called Powell process beef, of
which there was admittedly but small
quantity, and none of that went to
Porto Rico.
According to Major DAILY, some of
the refrigerated beef sent to Porto
Rico was evidently treated with what
he pronounced on chemical test to be
boracic acid and salicylic acid, and
was, he said, very injurious to health.
He made some beef tea from this beef,
and has a quantity which is to be
chemically examined before the COM
mission by Major Daily and Professor
Clark, of the Geological Survey.
Former United States District At
torney A. S. Worthington will repre-
sent General Eagan before the court
martial to be held in this city on the

to the charges brought against him.
1t is assumed that the trial will not last
more than a day or two.
In pleading guilty to the charges
General Eagan will plead in extenua-
tion that he was so much exasperated
and mentally distressed by the state
ments of General Miles as to be scarce
ly responsible for the language he used
in reply. He will practically throw
himself on the mercy of the court,
which he hopes may result in recon-
mendation for executive clemency.

The most of the counties of the
state are having trouble with the
change Of time of the terms of sher.
III, coroner and inflrmary director.
The wise legislature of Ohio passed
a law fixing the time for these offices
to change in September instead of
January, thus creating an interium
to be filled by appointment. The su-
preme court took up the constitutions
ality of the law and declared it un-
constitutional. Pending this court
decision, many appointments were
made, bonds given and office as
sumed, and now the incumbents
must retire from their positions. 1t
has caused no end of tro uble in al
most every county, by big blunder
OF that sweet legislature of Ohio. In
Hooking the commissioners appoint
ed Conrad Vein, of Murray City, to
the vacancy of coroner according to
law. Now the law is not a law, and
Mr.. Vein will probably have to re-
tire and Coroner-elect Lyons will be
sworn in. 1t is but another case of
blunder, blunder, blunder that so
characterizes Ohio legislatures.
