We are using every means to discourage

in justice to the firms whose butchers testified
for the state that their meat departments are
absolutely above reproach and that no such
practices obtain in them. During the past
week we have examined between 675 and 700
samples of meat and sausage from all parts
of the state and we find that a percentage
of one in seven has been ''dosed'' with some
preparation to kill the odor and taste
We have convicted several st. Paul dealers
during the past week and we expect to make
as formidable a showing IN Minneapolis. We
are also prosecuting cases at Two Harbors,

BOrax Trust Indicted.
The present test case in this city is
said to be backed by the borax corpora
tion which derives considerable profit
from the use of borax in sausage.
The most serious aspect of the use Of
! borax in meats, even slightly tainted, is
the danger of Dtomaine poisoning. The
unsuspecting victim has no means Of de-
tecting the poison which he unwittingIy
takes into his stomach.
Retail butchers who make their own
sausage, in some instances, are not above
resorting to the same means, although as
rule, the larger shops will not coun-
tenance it. This was found to be the case
when special commissioner, unknown to
Minneapolis dealers, was called in from
the country to make the rounds.
The commission may also turn its ats
tention shortly to theuse of borax and
other preservatives in fresh oysters sold
| in bulk.

High Tribute to Gov. PiIIsbury's
Character as Business Man.
The Commercial Club to-day adopted the
following resolutions on the death of ex-
Governor Pillsbury:
Whereas, the highest providence has terml-
mated the earthly career of John S. Pillsbury,
therefore be it
Resolved That the Commercial Club has
learned of his death with deep sorrow ana
hereby declares its estimate of his high quail
tiles as a citizen. We recognize in the life
Of Governor Pilsbury an example to young
men who seek by thrift, industry and all
upright methods to better their own condition
and to enable themselves to help their fell
lows He was peculiarly faithful to the high
est standards of honesty in business, and look
with him in his public career the same broad
principles that made his private life honor
able happy and useful. Fortunate the state
of Minnesota that in the Beginning she had
such men as Mr.. Pillsbury to form her laws
and settle her policies; more fortunate the
generation which shall follow him and his
contemporaries with the privilege of building
on their sure and steadfast foundation. He
was a statesman firm, conservative, but pro-
gressive; as citizen deserving Of the high
est place among those who labor most un-
selishly for their fellow men. We know OF
no way in which the Commercial Club can
more significantly honor his memory than by
each members copying in his personal and
business relations the example of John Sar-
gent Pillsbury.

Washington, Oct. 19.-That the anti
canteen law will be replaced by congress
this winter Is the belief as well as hope
of every officer and private Of the regular
army. From the secretary Of war down II
Is the almost unanimous opinion that the
canteen tends to raise the standards OF
morals and discipline at army posts. The
action taken by congress last winter was
in opposition to the advice OF Secretary
Root, Adjutant General Corbin. General
Miles and every department commander
except Shafter. No effort has been made
to evade the act, and the private GIN
mill system has been in operation long
enough to show pretty well how 1t works.
1t is pretty we'll understood at the war
department that the no-canteen system
has not been success. Department COM
manders claim that discipline has been
relaxed; that the soldiers disregard the
regulations and indulge without restraint
in the vicious hard liquors OF the SUIT
ler, and that the record Of drunkenness
and infractions of discipline due to this
cause have greatly increased. The Sec
retary of war has In his possession exact
figures on this subject. They consist Of
reports from every army post in the
country and the possessions, together with
comparisons based on records Of previous
years. The showing is understood to be
very convincing
The war department is not making pub
lie the information it has gathered. 1t
has no desire to draw the fire of the tenn
perance organizations prematurely. The
battle will open when congress gets to-
gether, and then the department will
unmask its batteries, and pour in hot
fire of facts and figures. The temperance
organizations are likely to find that their
guns have been spiked and their ammuni-
tion stolen.
The official position Of the war depart
ment just now is one of supreme indif-
ference. The report Of the secretary OF
war will not mention the canteen. There

In the case of the state against G. H.
Wagenholes, meat dealer, in the munich
pal court yesterday afternoon, expert wit
lesses showed how it is possible to doc
or diseased meats so skilfully as to de-
ceive the consumer and induce him to
take into his system that which would
ordinarily be most revolving. The case
is one Of the many test cases now being
brought by the state dairy and food COM
mission agaoinst INSCRIPTIONS meat deal
esr throughout the state.
The witnesses were G. S. Lilly, and j.
0. Taylor, butchers. Both swore of their
own knowledge that meat SO badly de-
composed as to have sickening smell could
bee ompletely deodorized by the use of
preseryatives known as -Four x" and
borax largely entered. While these prep
arations killed the odor they also de-
stroyed the thigh" taste of the meat.
Before the state law was enacted against
the use of preservatives containing borax,
tn witnesses testified that it was a COM
mon practice among butchers to treat
tainted meat in that way. Borax is most
generally used in preserving sausage.
DoctOred Meat Dangerous.
DR.. Andrews Of Mankato, gave expert
testimony from the standpoint OF physi-
clan when the case was resumed to-day.
Dr. Andrews declared that while borax
was preservative, it was entirely lack
ing in antitoxic properties and was posi-
lively injurious to the human system
whether assimilated in small or large
quantities. It had particularly bad eff
feet on persons troubled with any con-
stitutlonal weakness such as diseased
stomach or kidneys, the tissues Of which
were inflamed and generally irritated by
boraX.

and food commission, said this afternoon

INDIANS ARE UGLY
Break Quarantine at Mile Lacs and
Resist an Officer.
ARMED AND TALKED SCALpS
Two Taken to Detroit for Hearing
Sixty Cases of Smallpox
Mt the Lake.

Special to The Journal.
Brainerd, Mimi, Oct 19.-Deputy United
States Marshal Joseph Langdon arrived
in the city last night having in custody
two Indians giving the names of John and
Thomas Garbo. They were taken to De-
troit, this state, later to answer to the
charge Of breaking the quarantine regu-
lations at Mile Lacs lake, where there
has been much trouble with smallpox for
some time.
The two redskins may also have to an
sWer to more serious charge before the
United States commissioner at Deroit
1t seems that the deputy marshal had been
advised that a party of some twenty
Indians had gone over the line estab-
lished and were at Garrison. He went
them to go back to the reservation. He
at once encountered trouble, as the In
dians were armed to the teeth. with guns
and knives. The deputy marshal was pre-
vented from making the arrests on threats
that he would be scalped and so he re-
turned TO Mile Laos. Yesterday morn
ing, however, he went over on the reser-
walton and caused the arrest of the two
Carlos.
The deputy marshal claims there are
about sixty cases of smallpox among the
Indians and says the officers are having
great difficulty in maintaining the quar-
antine. He says that the redskins went
over the line and were ugly when he tried
to make an arrest. The CARLOS attacked
him and other members Of the party stood
ready to back them up.
The Indians will probably have to an
swer to the charge of not only breaking
the quarantine regulations, but also re-
sisting an officer.

constitution. opened at Hotel Pfister to-
day. Every yacht club in the association
except Lake Minnetonka and Wawassie

Corinthianism, a technical term for

one engaged in manual work for hire to
take part in a regatta. This will be sub

Among the amendments passed were the
following: That the executive committee

gatta; no yacht shall be manned except
by bona fide members of the club who hail
from the lakes he represents, except in
case of sickness when the executive commit
tee may permit one person. to be substi-

In future races a yacht will be allowed
to Jockey" or luff as long as she is in
the lead, but must cease and stand on her
course when overlapped.

will be no suggestion that the law be
repealed. Adjutant General Corbin said
when asked about the matter:
The canteen insident is closed. Congress
passed the law abolishing it and the law
is being enforced. There will be no recon-.
mendations or communications to congress
on the subject. When the law was passed
congress had all the facts before it. This de-
partment supplied all the information then
in its possession. To make any suggestions
now would be an impertinence. We have been
gathering information as to the working of
the new regime. and If congress asks for il
we will send it to that body.
The above interview contains a SUCCESS
tion of the time and the manner in which
the Information will be made public. 4
bill will be introduced to reinstate the
canteen, and the military affairs commit
tees fthe senate and house will reopen
the subject. They will call on the warde-
partment for the reports of department
commanders on the workings of the law
passed last winter. There will be neither
time nor material to refute the showing
thus made, and congress will reinstate the
canteen. In abolishing the canteen the
well meaning friends Of temperance have
tossed the soldier from the frying pan
into the fire. At least such Is the opinion
of army officers.
