Alfred Packard, the man eater. whose
trial caused such a sensation in Colo.
RADIO several years ago, was pardoned
by Gov. Thomas on the first of the
year. Packard and five com panions
were prospecting in the mountains of
Colorado eighteen years ago and we're
caught by blizzard Their food soon
gave out and after suffering all the
horrors of hunger aud cold four of the
men died. The two survivors lived off
the flesh of their dead companions for
weeks and then, it is claimed by Pack
ard, the other man became insane and
made murderous attack upon him
aud that to save his own life he shot
the man dead. He lived for month
off the dead man, and the weather then
moderating, succeeded Ia getting to
the nearest town. He was arrested and
public sentiment was so strong against
canibalism that Packard was found
guilty of murder and sentenced to
forty years in the state penitentiary at
Canyon City. Many efforts have been
made to obtain the pardon Of Packard
but all failed until Gov. Thomas ex.
ercised executive clemency.

The coal miners at Gallup, New Mex.
leo, are on strike over wage scale.
Last May the Colorado Fuel Company
agreed to adjust the scale to meet the
demands Of the miners, but so far has
failed to carry out the agreement. The
men have organized protective order
and have made demand that will have
to be complied with before they return
to work. All the mines belonging to
the company are IDLE and only the
Clark mines are at work. This strike
Is liable to cause stringency in the
coal market along the line of the San
ia Fe Pacific railroad, as this coal is
used exclusively for fuel purposes by
the railroad company and the people.

The California legislature is in ses-
sion and, although republican in both
branches, the republicans are not sat
istied. The fact is the push has the

party is in power. If the parties would
throw over partisan prejudice aud

IN A PEANUT SHELL.

Shelled neanuts contain from 80 to So
per cent. of oil.
In 1899 some $4,000 tons of peanuts
were used in Marseilles alone for oil
making.
OF the 100000 bushels Of peanuts
raised in this country 100000 bushels
are used as roasted peanuts.
1t is quite possible that the highly
nutritious peanut product OF our south
ern fields may come to be used in more
ways than at present, and especially In
combination with other food materials.
Roasted peanut, ground into an oily
meal and generally mixed with water
to the consistency of butter, has been
put on the market and is used to spread
on bread. There are those who like its
flavor when it is fresh.
When the oil has been pressed from
the ground peanut the mass remaining,
called oilcake, is used for fattening cat
tie. Some experiments have also been
made as to its food value for human be-
ings. Oilcake contains AZ per cent. OF
protein and 9per cent. of fat and starch
and costs about 5 cents a pound.
At present the American peanut CROP
is not large enough to more than sup
| ply the rooster and confectioner, hence
the pressing of oil from the peanut has
never become established here, but in
Europe large quantities Of the African
raised nut are used for this purpose.
