PRISON BLOODHOUND MISSING.

Jerry Race, Il horse thief, and Gil
bert Re, nolds, under sentence for
larceny, made very clever escape
from the Vermont house of corrcc-
ton at Rutland Monday night, and
as the prison bloodhound is missing,
it is believed that they took the ami.
nal with them and later cut its
throat. The reward offered has
sent a crowd of citizens searching
for the men. Both Race and Rev
nolds are about FL wears old. The
former had Il year and Il halt to serve,
but Reynolds might have been free
in eight months.
They made their escape from con-
tinement to freedom by springing
the iron bars of II corridor window

supper. Race had been PLAYING

Not an UnwhoIesome
Diet.

Certain butchers in San francisco
have been detected in using horsefesh
as a substitute for beef in sausages,
Hamburg steaks, etc, owing to the
cheapness of the equine flesh. The
local board of health carefully inves-
tigated samples and has brought the
offenders to justice. The flesh of
horses selected with proper care and
killed under proper conditions is by
no means an unwholesome article Of
diet, but there is no excuse for foist-
ing it under false pretenses upon GUS
toners in place Of more expensive
beef and other meats. If intended to
be used as a food, it should be sold
openly, so that those who partake sof
it may know exactly what they are to
consume and get the benefit of the
difference in price.
In France, Germany, Austria, Bel
gium and other countries there are
hippic butchers who make special
ty of this food, and, as is well known
in Paris, the sale of horsefesh is very
considerable. The butchers, however,
are licensed, and the animals are
slaughtered with as much attention
to sanitation as are beeves. Fortu-
nately, it is very easy to detect the
presence of horse meat even in as
small percentages as five per cent.
Twenty grammes of sausage finely
minced are boiled from half hour to
an hour in 100 cubic centimeters Of
water. The volume of water is then
reduced by evaporation TO 30 cubic
centimeters, then the liquid is cooled
and filtered About ten cubic cent?
meters are tested with a few drops
of compound iodine solution Zone part
of iodine and - parts of potassium
iodide in 100 parts of water). A fu-
gitive reddish violet coloration indi-
Gates the presence of horse meat. The
re-agent must be added carefully. SO
that no excess is added. as this is apt
to change the color 70 a reddish
brown. 1t is probable, as our med
ical contemporary hints. that a lit
tie investigation in various cities viii
bring to light the mysterious hidden
ways of the sausage vender.-N. Y.

To all appearance Ardnamurchan,
on the west coast of Scotland, is a
great place for longevity. Whether it
is because of the soft and salubrious
climate or the remoteness of the place
from the centers and the sins of popu-
lation, or something indigenous to the
Ardnamurehan nature, it would be
rash to say; but certain it is that an

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
Should Be Organized in
Every poStofice.

To the democrats of Indian

charged with the duty, as a nem-
Der Of the democratic congression-
al campaign committee. under di.
rection of the democratic national
committee, of arranging for the
appointment Of a precinct repre-
sentative of the democratic nation
Reorganization for each post office
in the Indian Territory. The pre-
cinct representative will be kept
in close touch with the democratic
national committee, and is intend
ed to be part of the permanent
democratic organization. He will
be furnished every week with the
official bulletin from headquarters
and will be the medium of com.
municating the position of the
democracy to his club and fellow
democrats.
In order to accomplish this
work, / respectfully request every
democratic club to elect at its next
meeting this precinct represent
ative and forward his name to me
without delay, properly certified
to by the president and secretary,
and will cause commission to
issued to him by the democratic
national committee.
In my judgment. the clubs
should, in the event of democratic
success, be allowed to nominate
the local officers to serve in Indian
Territory, and the associated
clubs should be authorized to
nominate the officers for the dis
tricts in which said officers are to
serve. -.
To make these nominations en-
titled TO respect democratic clubs
should be organized In every post
Office, and, at the convention at
Ardmore on June II, 1900, a sys-
tenn adopted that shall ensure
such nomination being the actual
will Of the people, after reasonable
consideration of the claims of all
candidates. When very jealous
aspirants may take sudden advan-
tage of clubs before other candi-
dates are considered, the value of
such endorsements are greatly di-
and the consideration in
which the organization is held is
apt to be impaired.
The democrats can and should
win the election Of 1900, and this
matter becomes of practical in
terest.

'orms for club organization to any
Doint where democrats are not al

SITE FOR A CITY HALL.
Liberal Proposition Has Been
Made to the Munich
pality.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE Is HEARD

Something Tangible in Relation to the
Project Promised at the Next Meeting of
the CouncII-MOdIhed Ordinance of Peo-
ria Road for Use of Strip of River Front
Observation-Disclosures OF Warehouse.
According to n verbal report made
by Aid. IL. l.. Wheelan at last night
| session of the city council at the next
meeting of the council something
tangible will be submitted with ref
erence to the new city hall project.
Aid. Wheelan stated the special COM
mittee on city hall had had n meeting
and had received liberal proposition
from the owners of n most desirable
building site. and one which he be-
lieved it would be most advisable for
the municipality to accept.
An ordinance authorizing the Dia-
mond 10 Steamboat company to erect
a steamboat warehouse. to cost not
less than 1000, was read and referred
to the license and markets committee.
The ordinance provides that the build
ing be located wherever the city may
determine; that all other steam boat
companies shall have the right to use
the warehouse by paying an annual
rental for such privilege, and that
the city council act as arbiter when
ever Il dispute arises. Aid. Wheelan,
of the council warehouse committee,
said new bids had been invited by the
committee for the erection of a ware
house by the city. He expected the
bids would be ready for consideration
at the next meeting of the cOun-
Gil. He favored the city own
ing the warehouse. A communication
from the Retail Merchants association
asking that suitable steam boat de-
pot be erected Immediately on the
levee, was also referred to the license
and markets committee.
The proposition of the Diamond 10
is practically the same as the one pre-
sented a wear ago. 1t was rejected
then by the council and should be re-
iected now. The people are opposed
TO the leasing or abandoning of any
portion of the improved levee I'M
der any cifcum stances. All de-
sire to see the warehouse ques-
ton settled at as early date as
possible, which, it is believed, will be
done by the council, but if there is to
be a warehouse it should be controlled
absolutely by the city.
Peoria Ordinance Passes.
The ordinance of the Rock Island IL
Peoria Railway company, Offering to
improve the property, i'll return for
exclusive coal privileges for Il period
of - years on the levee between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets, the right
being granted to use the same for the
landing by others of all other mer-
chandise except coal, was read by the
clerk. There have been several modi
fications of the measure as originally
submitted. Aid. johnson believed it
would be n radical mistake for the
council to adopt the ordinance OF
the miles of levee possessed by the
city, there were but three blocks ac-
cessible for landing purposes, he said.
He favored the city improving the
block itself and permitting all to use

Owing to the nervous strain to which they are
daily subjected, the physical hardships of the
constant Joltlng, exposure TO all kinds of
