borax and boracic acid. DR.. Wiley said
today there had been O. class of four
teen men, all of them engaged in the
agricultural department., and most or
them in the chemical bureau. and that
there were two divisions of them, half
having the preservatives administered
to them at time, the period Of con-
tinuous service continuing for forty
days at a time in each instance.

ministered the preseryative with the
food, but have given 1t separately, gen.
orally in capsules. In cases in which
large doses were administered We
checked ourselves when we found that
the men had been pressed to the limit.
We found some of them capable of TAX
ing far more than others. Our expert
ments were to ascertain the effect Of
the preservatives on digestion, and our
observations have covered the effect
on the digestion of carbo-h ydrates, or
fat, and on the digestion of protein and
gluten. We also have observed the eff
feet on the assimilation of food and
have carefully noted all increase or de-
crease in weight We have recorded
the effect of the preservatives on the

that fully nine-tenths of the chemicals

The Last Peanut.

II wonder why 1t is," wistfully unused
the thirty-third degree baseball fan,
as he wriggled around on the bleachers
with Disguised look on his face, that
out of whole bagful of peanuts the
only rotten one is the very last peanut
in the bag? Isn't there something
Weirdly devilish about that And yet
I've been noticing it for a good many
years. Seems to me that 1t goes a
whole long distance toward proving
that theory of the scientific sharps
about the preponderance of evil over
good. Say, for instance, that there are
100 peanuts in the bag. The chances
are consequently SO to l that you'll get
hold of the one bum peanut before
reaching the very last one in the bag;
that is, if my arithmetic isn't on the
punk. But it's always on the bottom
of the bag, all the same. And yet,
when you've put up money, how many
times do you ever win out in playing
SO to l shot, or long shot of only
about fifth of those odds? But the
bum peanut is always on the bottom,
just as the one doubtful, game raw
oyster out of the whole plate O. raw
is always the very last one that you
get on your fork. You bite into that
final peanut, and you find it high and
spit it out, but not before it's left
taste in your mouth like a moterman's
glove. Never knew it TO fail. Wonder
If the peanut vendors know the bum
peanut from the outside look of it, and
put the rank one at the bottom of the
bag, so that the duck who gets hold of
it will have to stake himself to bottle
of pop or sarsaparilla or a glass o.
lemonade to take the taste out of his
mouth? Who knows but what the pea
nut man frames the thing up SOS to
boost along the game OF the soft drinks
man ?"-Washingto Post.

PLACEMAN SHOOTS
Kills Comptroller and Is Himself
Killed, Leaving Astonish-
ing Letter.

AUSTIN. Tex, June 30.-Frenzied
by supposed wrongs, w. G. Hill, an
ex-attache of the state comptrollers
office. today entered the private office
of State Comptroller r. M. Love and
killed him with two revolver shots. AS
Hill turned to flee he was intercepted
by Chief Clerk Stevens. of the depart
ment, who engaged him in a struggle,
during which Hills revolver was ac-
cidentally exploded. The bullet en-
tered the Inurderer's abdomen. caus-
ing a wound from which he died this
afternoon. three hours after the death
of the man whose life he sought.
AS to what caused y the shooting
none can explain, other than it was
the act of a mailman. Hill had been
an employee of the cornptroller's office
for ten years preceding Loves term.
He was let out by Mr.. Love when the
latter took charge andSit is presumed
this fact preyed upon his mind. Today
he went to the capitol, entered Loves
private office, spoke to him cheerfully,
shook hands, and, handing him a let
ter to read, sat down, at the invita-
ton of the comptroller. No sooner
had Mr.. Love began reading the let
ter than Hill sprang to his feet and
fired two shots into Mr.. Love. Mr.
Love screamed, dropped the letter and
sprang half forward toward his as
sassin, then gasped and fell backward
He died within an hour after the
shooting. The letter that Hill gave to
Love reads:

PRODUCE DEALERS
fYADE. COMMISSION
MERCHANT STATUTE
At Least Fifty St. Paul and Min
neapoIis Commission Men
Are Said to Have Neglected
to Secure Licenses.

A crusade against unlicensed COM
mission merchants, who deal in agri-
cultural products, will soon be COM
menced by the state railroad and ware
house commission.
There are between forty and fifty I'M
licensed merchants in the Twin Cities
known to the commissioners and the
arrest of these offenders is to be made
within the next few days. In Duluth,
1t is said, that there are about ten COM
mission men operating without licenses
and who have not deposited the re-
quired bond with the railroad and
warehouse commission.
For some months past the commits
sioners have been engaged securing
evidence to convict the offending par
ties. It has been rather difficult mat
ter to secure the proper kind Of evil
dence, and it was not until last week
that conviction was obtained.
From reliable source it was learned
that the firm of Allen &Burns, at Du-
luth, was conducting a produce COM
mission business without having OBJ
tanned the required license. The con-
Germ claimed to be buyers and dealers
Of agricultural stuff, but denied that
any commission business was trans
acted.
Early last week 1t was found that
lie AllSll OS COMPANY OOA0 "a Nt~A :
load of hay on a commission basis
The evidence in the case was conclu-
sive, as the commission secured the
contract and other matter pertaining
to the transaction.
The matter was referred to Attorney
General Douglas, who turned the case
over to the county attorney Of st. Louis
county.
So damaging was the evidence Sc
cured by the commissioners that the
firm, through it's attorney, pleaded
guilty to violating the commission mer-
chant law and it's members were fined
for the offense. The only plea made by
the firm was that the carload of hay
was accepted on a commission basis to
accommodate a customer and that the
company did not make a practice Of
doing a commission business. '1+
Members of the commission contend
that there are more than fifty firms in
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth who,
under the guise Of being dealers in ag-
ricultural products, are really doing a
commission business. The arrest of the
offenders Is to follow just as soon as
evidence on which a conviction can be
secured Is obtainable.
The law under which the railroad
and warehouse commission will act Is
one passed by the legislature of 1899.
The punishment for violating the law
Is a fine Of from $25 to $100. The cost
of a license is 81 annually. 10

public, is regarded as demonstration
of friendliness, especially as the bat

days notice to join the squadron and
also because the administration at

came difficult owing to the desirability
Of the American squadron staying here

SETTLES PORTO RICO
LAND QUESTION
r---e-r
President Makes Reservation
of 10000 Acres for the
Government.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 30.-Aft-
er a conference with Gov. Hunt, OF
Porto Rico, today the president signed
q formal order making reservations or
lands in that island for the purpose of
this government. The action was taken
under a law passed at the first session
of the Fifty seventh congress. which
authorized the president to make res
ervations before July 1, 1903. All lands
not reserved will accrue tomorrow to
Porto Rico.
In the aggregate more than 10000
acres of land were involved. Under the
old Spanish regime the title to these
lands became so greatly involved that
it could not be determined from any
available records to whom they be-
IOnged. They could not be sold, be-
eause the government of Porto Rico
could not give a clean title to them.
The enabling act passed by congress
cleared the situation.
By the presidents action reserva-
tons Of the public lands are made for
the war, navy and treasury depart
ments and for the department of JUS
tice. Tentatively the reservations have
been made for some time
The reservations are principally in
the vicinity of the cities, the largest,
with one exception, being in San Juan.

which is reserved entire for naval pur-
poses. The reservations in and about
San Juan are mainly for artillery for
tifications under control of the war de-
partment. Other reservations made
will be utilized as sites for customs
houses, light houses and buildings for
the department of justice.
Gov. Hunt is greatly pleased. The
settlement means, in his opinion, the
rapid commercial expansion of San
Juan and notable Improvement of other
cities. 1t Is of distinctive advantage
also to the government Of Porto Rico.
About $4,000 acres of land will accrue
Immediately to the island government.
1t is expected that from the sale of the
lands the island will receive about
100000. This sum will be devoted
largely to educational purposes.
