AMERICAN SOLDIER BEST KILLER OF ALL So Declares Gen. Wilson in Talking of Chinese Trouble LOYAL LEGION HAS DINNER Speech of the Evening Was From Gen. eral Wilson, Who Devoted Time
 To "Reminiscences of the
 Pekin Campaign.
LOYAL LEGION HAS DINNER

New York, May 1.-The military order of the Loyal Legion of the United States held It's annual dinner and meeting to- night at Delmonico,s.
 Brevet Brigadier-General Henry L.. Burnett, U. s. ". was elected com mander
 General Wilson addressed the Loyal Le- zion, devoting his time to anecdotes and "reminiscences of the Pekin campaign, He paid high tribute to the United States troops. "We were not very large contingent" he said but we were easily in the front rank among the allies. The Russian commander of artillery told Gen. i eral Chaffee that he took off his hat to our artillery. As for our infantry-well let me recall the story of the storming of the walls of Pekin when the Four teenth Infantry, commanded by old Dag gett, found itself under the shadow of the wall. A private went to the colonel and said, as he looked critically at the battle ments above him, I can scale that wall, colonel All right said Daggett, go ahead.
 ''He went ahead and scaled the wall, oOOAA had the two companies on the wall. They found there a number of Russians who had got to the top during the night but were afraid to out to a sally-port in the immediate vicinity and clear it. Daggett and his men went through the sally-port and let in Ripley and his guns Then ii was all over.
 We must not be vain about the Ameri- can soldier. He Is not a great disciplin- | arian. His collar does not always fit just
 right and his leggings may lack a few l loops of being fastened. But when i l comes to fighting, he gets there. It's m! 1 private opinion that the American soidie f is the best killer on top of the earth | General Wilson paid a high tribute t
 the Japanese. saying that they were no | a i'healthy lot to scrap with" Some one asked about Funston, ant l General Wilson said he was good sol l dier in spite of the fact that he was in. | experienced
 After his career in the Philippines and | his capture of Aguinaldo, said General | Wilson, q rejoice that the President | made him brigader-general. This sl- | fusion to Funston was the signal for an | ovation on the part of many. who rose from their seats and cheered for five min
 utes.
 Referring to the British soldiers in China, General Wilson said they were chiefly "niggers,' as their officers called
 them. He said Great Britain has more
 world business on hand than she can at- tend to with white men. You need not lie awake nights worrying about England
 so long as she has to rely to so great an
 extent on the troops of India and other | native forces. They are very poor ma | terial."
 | The speaker paid tribute to General | Chaffee, saying he was brusque, clear | headed soldier who looked one straight in
 the face and said what he thought in spite | of anything.

STRAW FOR FUEL.

Grand Forks, N. D---S. O. Edison
has returned from Orange, N. j.,
where he spent the summer, and is
making preparations to start up his
fiber fuel pant at McCanna at an
early date. The manufacture OF fuel
from straw, Mr.. Edison thinks, is
now beyond the experimental stage,
and while not enough was manu-
featured last season upon which to
base figures as to the cost OF pro-
duction, he is certain as to the cost
will be low enough to make the fuel
as cheap as any other and perhaps
much cheaper.
The plan will be stlarted in few
weeks and as the supply of straw
this year is unlimited, it is expected
that fiber fuel will soon be manu-
featured in large quantities when
tests will be made in a larger scale
than in the past. The process is
very simple. The straw is first boil
ed thoroughly, after which it is put
through a grinder and compressed
into tubes about four inches in d.
ameter, which can be cut into desir-
ed lengths. The fibre fuel is ready
for use when it comes from the ma
chine, though it is not absolutely
dry, as it is impossible to get all the
water out by pressure alone. The
cut straw is compressed by means
of a worm, and therefore it is not
known how great the pressure is,
but it is very great.
The plant erected at McCanna has
capacity Of about forty tons Of the
fiber day, and when running on
1uli time will employ twenty five
men AS soon as all the details have
been completed, and the process Of
manufacture perfected in every
way the intention to erect plants
in all parts of the northwest. The
farmers will then haul in their
straw and exchange it for some fiber
much the same as on the old grist
mill plan. Mr.. Edison has been
working on the scheme for several
years and believes it to be one of
the biggest things for this country
that was ever attempted.-Minne-
apolis Journal.

Some interesting surprises are
noted in glancing at the figures
showing the number of prohibition
counties in the Southern States.
Kentucky is a standing target for
jokes about liquor drinking because
of it's immense production of whis-
ky. But it is fact that of the
ninety four counies of Kentucky
only four permit liquor the sale of
liquor except on physicians pre-
scriptions. The big state Of Texas
which has "wide open" reputation
in the North, has 100 prohibition
counties. Georgia leads all of its
sister states Of the South with 1872;
Missouri has "a, Tennessee 70, North
Carolina so, Virginia IS, Alabama
50, Arkansas 80, West Virginia 40,
Florida 80 and so on.-Los Angeles
