Verdict Of the Beef Court.

Washington. April 30.-The military
court Of inquiry. investigating Gen
Miles charges against the beef supplied
TO the army during the war with Spain.
concluded its work Saturday.
The verdict Of the court is that the
allegations which Gen. Miles made are
not sustained with reference to the re-
frigerated beef There is direct criti-
cism Of Gen. Miles for failing to
promptly bring to the attention of the
War Department the reports made to
him concerning bad beef.
The court finds the testimony conclu'
siye that both refrigerated beef and
canned beef were in good condition
when delivered to the government and
continued so until issued to troops. ex'
cept in special instances, where deter
ioration was due to accidental condi'
lions in transportation or to Influences

But Didn t See Him.

The 10 .3S northbound train Of the

here a few mornings ago, and Capt
Dickinson. the polite and active con-
ductOr, was IN charge. The train was
a few minutes late and there was pile
of baggage TO load and Dickinson was
hurrylng his men to get IT aboard. a
ventrilcquist was at the depot, and near
him was we'll known railroad official
of the p r & Z. Il. h. who is never so
happy as when he can play joke on
some one.
A voice called out, 80. Capt Dick
inson, come back here. lady wants
seat and the car is crowded.
In one minute, said the conductor
Il will be there -
The voice again said, 80, capt.
Dickinson lady wants seat, ana
saws IL you do not come here at once
and give it 10 her she will get of the
train and sue the company.
By this time the train was ready to
start and Dickinson pulled the bell
rope and hurried into the ladies car to
give the lady a seat No one was stand.
ing. and Dickinson endeayored to find
the lady and explain matters, and IN
terviewed every woman in the car
without success
The Joke worked 50 well that when
the 40 p m train rolled in the depot
with the handsome Conductor Grady in
charge. the railroad official and the
ventriloquist were there again. Capt
Grady went into the Office 10 report to
Agent Cox. when voice sid from the
outside, 90, Capt Grady, want to
see you particularly.
{" All right said Grady, "who
wants me?'
Il do, said voice from inside the
car window Come here.
Grady jumped on the train. pulled
the bell rope and went through the car
asking, "Who is it in here who wants
me-" OF course no one answered, and
he was non plussed.
When the train arrived at Quantico
the two conductors met and naturally
spoke Of the occurrence. Just then
some one came up and remarked.
There is ventrllOquist In Freder-
icksburg and he is making some fun
for the boys Dickinson looked at
Grady and Grady looked at Dickinson.
