Washington = The war department
court Of inquiry wound up its weeks
work with half days session today
having exhausted its list of witnesses
now on hand. There may be some wit
nessee at the Monday session, but the
court will start for Chicago early next
week, probably on Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
just before the close OF the session to-
day a volunteer witness presented him
self, but was not accepted. He wore an
army uniform and said his name was
Frank Rundas, late of the Third Neb-
raska (Col. w. ]. Bryan's) regiment,
and that be had recently been honorab-
ly discharged from the service and was
on his way home.
His story was, in brief, that he had
served in the company kitchen with his
command in Jacksonville, and that dur
ing long period when the men were
living on refrigerator beef there was 80
much internal trouble among the men
that the issue of this was stopped.
AT another time he got hold of some
refrigerator meat in the kitchen that
was of such peculiar color that the
attention Of the company officers was
called to it.. The surgeon in charge ex-
amined it, SO Rundas alleged, and re-
mar ked that the meat "was all right. but
had been prepared to send to Porto Rico
and since it had been issued the men
might as we'll use it."
The meat was cooked, but all the men
who ate it were made sick. The infer
ence drawn was that this was some of
the same Porto Rico beef that DR.. DAILY
had analyzed and alleged to be chemi-
cally treated.
Rundss said he was on his way home
but had stopped off in Washington to
offer this information to the court Of in
quiry, il it thought it worth hearing.
He presented himself to Col. Davis, the
recorder Of the court, but was told that
he would not be wanted as witness.

WORKING THE SUCKERS.

The man who works a sucker earns
his salary. This remark is suggested
by the fact that there is quite q laugh
going around the town over the neat
manner in which the agent Of the Irri-
cation Era the rankest sheet published
in the west, worked one Of our staid
business men, who wouldn't give prin-
ter'a dollar in advertising, for the neat
little sum OF twenty five dollars to place
cut Of his phiz in the last edition Of
that publication.
The Irrigation Era took about five
hundred dollars out Of this town in the
edition which it recently published and
the benefits resulting have been nil.
Every day the newspapers of the city,
are receiving numerous requests from
all over the country to send sample copies
of their editions to farmers and labor
ing men, inquirers for land and for bust :
ness, and yet home people allow them-
selves to re worked be every fakir that
comes to town, desiring to get up some
sort OF An edition for advertising pur-
poses.
The fact is farmer or man desiring to

but he docs desire to see tho papers OF

Contrived by the devil for pulling men

Stay out all nightfulness,

Scatters his scruples as day scatters

sion was not warranted by the facts.
There ~ a good deal of fresh material

there is also left good deal or the

The new upper thus put in is new

wear out or get hole I'm 1t somehow,
II IL much more likely 60 stay sound

and breaks. And so I'm putting second
hand shoes In order new vamps are
sometimes put in. But while such n
shoe, which had also been soled and
heeled. might easily be described as
having undergone extensive repairs It
would still be far from wholly new.
There would remain, besides the OLD
counter, the shank and the inner sole,
and the general shape and framework
of the shoe, and upon these the repairs
could be made. SecOnd-hand shoes
bring various prices. depending on their
original quality and their condition; a
