Food AdulteratI0n.

SIN a pure food case that was taken
up from Philadelphia to the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, says Public
Policy, "the plea was made that the
law is not violated unless the quantity
of foreign substance in food staple
is sufficient to injure health. The Su-
preme Court decision is that any pois-
onous ingredient, whether in quantity
to injure health or not is a violation
of the statute. The Cry goes up that
this will affect 20 per cent OF the stock
Of the average dealer. II one-fifth OF
the merchandise sold for food contains
poisonous ingredients, there is
startling necessity for active measures
The stupid plea that the poison Is
not enough in any one article to hurt
the consumer indicates that the vendor
never gives enough thought to any as
pect of the question but the pursuit OF
the nimble dime and nickie to learn
the effect of the cumulative poisoning.
Certainly when we hear from the trade
itself that the practice Of mixing pois-
onous food has attained 20 per cent
prevalence, it is time for strenuous
impressions aimed with the most
yigor at the manufacturers Of such
articles.
In view Of the above. had you not

of outrages committed in the chief

SHORT WEIGHT.
Mil,ers to Secure a Charter for an
Orga-izati ons That VIII
Fight Growing

The Southeastern Millers' Assocla-
ton held it's monthly meeting Tuesday
at the Duncan Hotel and took a very
decided step in the fight it proposes
to wage against short weight pack
ages of flour. The Millers Ass0cia-
tion will be chartered and hard fight
against the evil is to be inaugurated by
the chartered organization.
The question of short weights mas
been a live one with millers in this
section for several months past. The
southeastern Association has had the
matter under consideration for some
time. AT their last meeting 1t was
decided to print circulars warning the
flonr trade of the evil and to have every
miller scatter these broadcast and
send them out in all of his mail. The
ri rculars were approved at Tuesday s
meeting bat it was thought best to
have them promulgated by chartered
organi cation as 1t would have more
effect than if sent out by a loose organ
iZatiOn.
Plans will probably be perfected at
the next meeting, to be held the secend
Tuesday in October. Those present at
Tuesdays meeting We're: }. Allen

No | can't saw anything about the

BURLESON BREAKS OUT.
Texas Member Bitterly Assails Score
tary of State in the House.

Washington, March 27.-General de-
bate on the military appropriation bill
was concluded Wednesday by the house
and consideration of the bill under the
flve-minute rule began Mr.. BurleSon
of Texas resumed the attack upon Sec
rotary Hay on account of the allega-
tions regarding the Boer relief funds
subscribed in Illinois. Mr.. Hit of IL
Hnois replied briefly, saying there had
been ne developments in the matter and
the secretary had done all that was
possible. At the beginning of the ses-
sion the house passed the BurleSOn res
olution, calling on the president for in
formation relative to the application of
General Miles to go to the Philippines.
Mr.. Burleson called attention to the
resolution passed by the house some
time ago, calling upon the secretary of
state for information relative to the re-
fusal of the state depart nent to grant
request preferred in behalf of the Rev.
DIR. Hiram w. Thomas and wife, who
desired to enter the Boer lines in South
African for the purpose of distributing
relief to noncombatants- He contended
that Secretary Hays letter to Mr.. Hit
relative to the application on behat OF
DR.. Thomas was disingenious and pro
duced certain papers and letters in
support of his contention. He said that
it was not a passport for DR.. Thomas
which was desired, but the good offices
of the state department to secure a per-
NIT to enable Dr.Thomas to get through
the Roer lines.
He read a second letter, written March
II to Secretary Hay by John o. Knight,
acting for the Boer relief committee.
again calling attention to his request of
March II, to which Mr.. Burleson said no
reply had been received. Furthermore,
he said said that the newspapers had
announced that Secretary Hay did not
propose to make further reply to the
house resolution. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Burleson paid a tribute to
the fighting Beers and expressed the
hope that they would keep up the strug-
gle for liberty until every British SOL
der was driven from South Africa
In concluding Mr.. Burleson predicted
that in less than one year there would
be another interchange of notes between
the president and member of his cab
met, and the little pro-British secre-
tary of state, the little author of Little
Breeches,' would follow the other cab
met officers of a former president into
private life"
Mr. Hit replied very briefly. Every
thing. Mr.. Burleson had produced, he
said, had been presented before. AS far
as the charge of 'sevasion" on the part
of the secretary of state was concerned,
he said that the secretary's frank letter
completely disposed of that He had
done all he could and was now in con-
sultation with Governor Yates. through

Mcpherson, Kan, March 27.-An or

pose is to establish at Mcpherson one

manner of the Cooperative Alliance

better, and then at the end of each
year dividends will be declared at what

Pitcher MattheWsOn Finds His
Arm in Shape.
His S15O,OOO Wing Proves as
Speedy as of YOre.
GIVES 1T TWO TRIALS.
McGOvern Wants a Big Side Bet
For Jordan.
Would Go to England For a
Liberal Purse.

New York, March 27,-During the win
ter months a statistician, much given 20
baseball lore, asserted with an air OF
deep conviction that the right arm OF
AIathewson, pitcher for the New York
club, had been worth not less than $780,
600 to the National League in 1901. He
based this estimate on the popularity
of the young man because of his sue
cess. Recently a rumor gained mucn
circulation that Mathewson's $15o.0OO
arm had sprung SPAWN, or something
akin to it, and that his value as
pitcher would be affected thereby
Great interest therefore, hangs over his
debut at the Polo grounds in practice
work Wednesday he pitched about two
hours in the morning and one in the
afternoon. Occasionally he used speed.
If there is any ailment in his arm 1t was
not manifest.
My shoulder was a, little sore toward
the close of last season" said he, but
/ eased up on it and the rest that had
during the winter months has fixed me
out in good shape. / am not worrying
about n arm"
The New York mana cement has about
decided to give up the time-honored
black that has been used as a trimming
for the home and the travelling uni
forms so long, and substitute brown.
This latter color is rather appropriate
in view of the fact that so many Brown
university men are on the team.

CONFERENCE OPENS.
Methodist Ministers in Session at Ar
kansas City.

Arkansas City Kan, March 27.-The
Southwest Kansas Methodist Episcopal
conference opened in this city Wednesday
with Bishop w. F. Mallalieu presiding
The address of welcome was delivered by
dist church. The reports of Presiding Ell
der Martindale of the Dodge City district
and Presiding Elder Davis of the McPher-
son district were read. As Rev. Granville
Lowther is pastor of the church at Nc
Pherson, it was expected the report would
contain the charges of heresy to be pre-
ferred against him. The report mentioned
it in no way and the members of the con-
ference were surprised.
1t was given out today that when Rev
Mr.. Lowther is ready to make his report
on the condition of the church the ques-
ton will be asked If there is anything
against him. Then the charges will be
read. Rev. Mr.. Lowther says the charges
were never signed when they We're served
him and that he could. if he wished
throw the case out of the conference on
this ground but he adds that he wants a
trial so that he will be able to explain
exactly what he means. He claims the
popular idea of his theories is wrong, and
he wants a trial to set it right.
