Fatally Injured.

Grand Rapids. Wis. March IL
Thomas Young lies near deaths door
and Archie st. Louis is in a critical
condition as the result of the explosion
OF ten pounds of dynamite at the Port
Edwards paper mills, three miles south
of this city. A huge ice jam had been
gathering in front of the large dam
crossing the river at this point and it
was determined to break it up with
dynamite. The two men had charge OF
the work and while thawing the dyna-
mite the explosion occurred.
Huge ice jams have developed at
various points of the river in this
vicinity and if some of them do not
give way in the course of few hours
the water will be backed up sufficient
" to do considerable damage.

Too Soon.

New York. March 17-Mr. Chamber
lain will not return to parliament a
moment too soon, says the Tribune's
London representative. Premier Bal

leaders. He will endeavor to show
them that their present effort can only
result in the destruction Of their own
party. without bringing about those
changes that they so ardently desire.

NOW MEAT is CANNED.
Scientific Process Which Preserves

Tho manufacture of timed meats.
such as canned corned beef or canned
boiled beef. is most interesting. The
work is carried on with the utmost
cleanliness, and the process is one that
has In view the retaining of all the
good properties of the meat wit hin the
walls of the can. When the meat has
been cured 1t receives a slight boiling.
in water The solid meat is now ready
for the can. which has been previously
steamed and thoroughly cleaned. The
meat is stuffed into the can, a small
portion of soup is added. and the can is
hermetically sealed. II the product
were then to be placed on the market.
only a partially cooked meat would be
given. and decomposition would set in
almost within the same day. The pro-
cess, however. does not end with this.
These sealed tins are placed in steam
cookers and are exposed to a tempera-
ture sufficient not only to cook all the
meat thoroughly, but also to kill ev-
cry germ that could possibly start de-
composition of the product. AS soon
as the steam has continued sufficiently
long, the can is taken from the steam
cooker, and by means of small steel
needle hole is punched in the top of
the can. This permits ali the air to
escape. and while still hot. this hole is
again soldered by the use of a small
piece of pure tin. The result of this
extremely simple process is that the
cooked meat is enclosed in tin almost
absolutely free from air. If the process
is carried out correctly and if the can
is free from leaks the meat can be kept
indefinitely without the least possibili-
ty of deterioration or alteration. A
can of meat when thus prepared should

NEBRASKA MAY
JOIN KANSAS SUIT

Lincoln. Neb.. August 14.-Governor
Mickey of Nebraska is alive to the i'm
portance of protecting the interests of
Nebraska in the waters of the Platte
river from the alleged entertainments of
Colorado irrigationists, and is keeping
tab on the suit in the Federal Supreme
Court wherein Kansas is endeavoring
to prevent Colorado from absorbing all
of the waters of the Arkansas river.
Residents along the Platte, says the
governor are experiencing the same
distressful conditions from the diver
sion of the waters of that river for
Colorado irrigation enterprises as are
those who live in the Arkansas valley
in Kansas.
Il was up at North Platte recently"
said Governor Mickey to-day" and not
ed that the Platte river was dry. The
people up there told me that it was
because the people of Colorado, higher
up the stream, had taken all of the
water for irrigation. When | got out
to Brush. in that state, | could see that
that statement was literally true"
Governor Mickey said that he had
read somewhere of recent decision of
some subordinate court, which held
that the older right is to prevail. with
out regard to the location on the
stream, so that an old irrigation plant
in Nebraska can protect itself from be-
ing deprived OF. the use of the waters
of the Platte by a newer one located in
Colorado. He believed, however, that
the federal government intends to take
hold of the control of the distribution
of non-navigable waters and adminis-
ter the equities between the states,
where there are conflicting rights.
