A QUEER BEEF REPORT.

The report of the Beef Court is certainly
queer document II finds everybody
guilty, except Secretary Alger and the beef
packers About two thirds of the officers
in the armies of Cuba and Porto Rico are
found guilty because they neglected to re
port the bad beef, and yet the report finds
that the beef was first class This is q most
marvellous piece of logic. 1t would have
puzzled the school men; but the court was
appointed by the Secretary of War, and is
subject TO that worthy, which may help to
explain Its mental confusion. Obviously, if
the beef was all good, the two or three hun.
dred officers who had to eat il, and the twenty
fiveor thirty thousand privates who had to do
likewise. ought not to blamed for neglecting
10 report that It was bad.
Scarcely less astonishing is the logic by
which = analysis OF beel which the soldiers
never taw or heard of is made TO prove that
the osel which they did see and smell and
taste was good. When persons are charged
with lara. ahing bad beef, court of Justice
would be rather particular about accepting as
evidence 40 analysis of some other beef fur
nished by them; but military court, under
the glittering eye of a war secretary, brought
70 bay, has TO broaden somewhat the scope of
testimony. The Secretary has just appointed
one Of the members Of the court TO the com.
mand in Porto Rico made vacant by Gen.
Henrys retirement, and, doubtless, has nice
positions for the other members, while Gen.
Miles, commander-in-chef of the army, has
been decorated by the displeasure OF his sub
ordinales. The general is not the kind of
person TO mind little thing like that. He
has been fighting all his life, not for beet
contractors, but for his country.
But the Beef Court builded better than it
knew. 1t picked out poor old Eagau as
scapegoat, aud found that too much of the
canned beef had been furnished 10 the army
by him. The court evidently thought that
Eagan had no friends, but 10 that mass Of
testimony accompanying the report is the
eSidence that Eagsn was anxious 10 ship
cattle 70 Cuba, and had almost completed
the contract, when his purpose was arrested
by Secretary Alger. and be was ordered TO
ship only canned beef This lie q dIscredlt.
able attempt " shield Alger, aud place the
blame on one who bad already incurred the |
censure OF the public. Il is especially ugly, !
because Eagan is now under sentence, and |

The cable messages which passed between
Emperor William and the President on
Saturday in reference 10 the proposed new
cable between Germany and the United
States will do good deal to remove any
hard feeling entertained in Germany over
the Coghlan and Kautz incidents. OF course
nobody thought that there would be any
thing more than little tart talk on the par;
of the newspapers of the countries, but the
expressions of mutual good will on the part
of Kaiser and President do not leave any
room at all for further quarreling on the
part of anybody else. The exchange OF
congratulations and good wishes is crafty.

ming struck the Grange ball on Cropp
Hill and tore things up considerably.
VIM. Cropp occupied the lower floor of
the building with a store and he and
Henry Blum were sitting chatting near
the stove while the storm was going on,
Mr.. Blum having stopped and put out
his team till the it subsided. Mr.. Cropp
was sitting on the counter and Mr.. Blum
on keg of nails. The current came
down the chimney to the floor, where it
passed under both of Blum's feet, tearing
the sole and stocking off the right foot
and part of the sole off the left. Both
men were stunned for the moment but
Immediately recovered. Mr.. Blum,s in
juries were quite painful for while, but
by the time the storm had subsidized he
was able to hitch up his team and pro-
ceed with his load of casing which he had
on the wagon. He is all right now, the
shock having left no bad effects. This is
what might be truthfully called ''knock
the socks off fellow"

at Salmon creek to replace the old mill
there. The old part of the old mill struc-

have been put in. The work has been in
progress about three weeks and will oc-
cupy about three weeks more. The mill
when completed will have also the finest
hatcher and planer in the state.
John Shaw, who has been working on
the mill, is laid up with badly strained
back, the result of fall while carrying a
heavy timber.

tempting to drive by the horse took

impossible to hold her and all Mr. Kribbs
could do was to try to keep in the road
In this he was only partially successful.

him into the ditch on the side of the road.
The buggy righted again and the horse
ran on. Mr.. Dougall of Kern IL Co., Oil

stopping to talk with some persons on

buggy thrust its nose through the raised
curtain at the back of the buggy between

hill, and was easily caught and held. Mr..

done the rig, and beyond being scratched
on the legs little the horse was unin-

MANY CANDIDATES OUT.
Yesterdays Football Practice Attended

Yesterdays Football Practice Attended
 by Larger Number Than Ever.
 At yesterdays practice of the candi- dates for the Yale eleven larger num- Der of candidates than at any time since practice started were on hand. The practice was short, but sharp, and the men were coached in tackling, start ing, bunting and catching, and finally in interference.
 The line men were taken in charge by Murphy, the old Yale captain, who coached them ill getting started quick ly. Rodgers took another squad oyer to the dummy, where he tried them on tackling, while the backs under Bull were tried on bunting.
 After about twenty minutes of this sort of work the men lined up, and ten minutes of quick, snappy work in inter- ference was given them. The college eleven showed up in good form and kept the varsity team constantly on the jump. The line of the latter seemed "a ther weak and the college backs went seemingly at will. Kiefer play ed right half back for the latter and played splendidly. When given the ball he showed much headwork and ran well. Unless conditions in his studies inter- fere, he should prove the strongest can didate for that position. Sharpe has thus far proved the best man for the position of left half back, and these two with Mcbride would make a strong trio
