that neither Secretary Alger nor Gen.

weeks before, had rejected the process
that was tried unsuccesstuliy on the

Most of us. at some time OF other,
have eaten canned meats. They may
not have been as palatable as fresh
meats; but were they poisonous: All OF
us. knowingly or unknowingly, have
eaten refrigerated or "cold storage
meats. and the proof that they were not
poisonous is that we are alive and well
A very large trade in these meats has
been built up with Europe, where our
refrigerated beef is preferred to any
other In very hot countries canned
and refrigerated meats do not keep III

mates; but this is no reason for con-
demning the process as poisonous. The

The reputation of our great canning

Armour, can not be injured by such
baseless and wanton statements as those
made before the Board of Inquiry.

GeneraLNliles, in his testimony before
the Board of Inquiry, stated that, "un-

soldiers were poisoned by rotten beef.
General Eagan, Of the Commissary De-
partment, construed this into an accus-
alton that he had corruptly allowed
contractors to supply the troops with
poisonous food General Eagan is an
lrishman and a fighter He tried TO in

outrageously, calling him a dozen diff

that he ought to he drummed out of the

Colonel Mann, the accomplished edi-

Rotary of War-who was being attacked
over EaRan's shoulder was in any way
connected with the so called poisonous or
"embalmed" beef, and that, on the con-
trary, they had refused to have any
thing TO do with it,
An inventor came TO the Secretary of
War and offered for a half cent per
pound to treat fresh meat by chemical
process SO that it would be preserved in

CASE IN JURY'S HANDS
Hard Fought Case of Ludium Against
the Frisco Railway.

The damage suit of c. B. Ludlum against
the St Louis and San Francisco Railway
company occupied two days in the district
court, going to the jury late yesterday
afternoon. The jury had not reached a
verdict at o'clock and Judge Dale order
ed them to report with a sealed verdict
Monday morning at 9 o'clock, provided
they succeeded in reaching a verdict at
all. Mr.. Ludlum is sueing the railroad for
3, 445 for the alleged burning Of some of
his property, consisting OF 800 cottonwood
trees, 2S5 rode of hedge, ten apple trees
and ten tons Of hay. This was in 1891.
The suit was tried soon after the damage
occurred, in the district court. under Judge
Reed, and Mr.. Ludlum secured verdict
for $500 The railroad company appealed
the case to the court of common pleas,
and it was sent to the appellate court,
where the case was reversed and sent
back for new trial. The case has been
so stubbornly fought by both parties that
the interest in it has been augmented and
the verdict will be watched with con-
siderable anxiety especially by the plain
tiff, who is by this time responsible for
an amount of costs equal. almost, to the
claim he has asked for, should the verdict
be against him.

JUDGE PIATT HELPED
Made Good Hand Assisting Train
men 10 Care for strawberries,

Judge Piatt returned yesterday from a
trip to Joplin, Mo. The train he reslrned
on was loaded with strawberries, delaying
it at several points. Mr.. Piatt and other
passengers had to get off several times
and assist in unloading and taking care
Of the fruit, in order to expedite matters.
The train finally got into Wichita with
three full car loads of strawberries, which
was the greatest shipment ever received
at this place. Judge Piatt says the ship
ments of fruit from southern Missouri is
simply wonderful. Nearly every train is
delayed and the capacity Of the railroads
is taxed to take care of the fruit business.
