according to statement given out
last week by the president of one of
the Omaha banks who is a close
friend of Mr.. Burt and in constant
communication with him, would
place him over Mr.. Wallace, the
chief engineer. Whether Mr.. Burt
would be willing to sacrif. Q

KILLED BY THE THOUSAND.
Poison in Foods is Deaths
Agent-FOod Experts Say
at455,OOO Were Killed
Last Year.

A bitter war in the ranks of the
men whose duty it is to look after
the protection of Americans from
food authorizations is expected to be
revealed at meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the National Assc-
citation of State Dairy and Food
Departments, which opened at the
Great Northern hotel in Chicago
last Friday, atwhich reports were
submitted showing that 10000
infants died in the United States
last year from the effects of food
poisons.
Food commissioners from different
states, health officers and officers of
the national association arrived in
Chicago Thursday to attend the
meeting. Paul Pierce, of Chicago,
and r. M. Allen, of Kentucky, Sec
rotary of the association, are the
leaders of the two factions of the
association. Mr.. Allen arrived
Thursday to look after his interests.
The claim of the enormous fatal
ity among infants last year resulting
from impure food is made by j. N.
Hurry, secretary of the Indiana
state board OF health. Mr.. Hurry
produces figures to show that 65 per
cent of the total deaths of infants
in America last year was due to
poisons administered in impure foods
and the deadly connections placed
ON the market by fraudulent food
manufacturers. He produces stats
tics to show that more than 100000
infants died in the United States
last year.

Even supposing it is true that the

in the United States, and mistakenly

would not effect the justice of our

Cuban independence had been urged
upon our government tor years, by a
large portion of the press of both

had warned Spain that it would
come unless her methods changed.
President Mckinley sought to
effect the desired end by
peaceful methods; and but for the
Maine incident it would have been
difficult to win him over to bellig-
ssrent policy. But when that noble

choice rested with either Howard Pidgy. And

Go on, my lad" said the stranger kindly.
So he sang to the end, seeing by the musicians
face that he was pleased. Surely he, Howard, had
a better right to such opportunity than that
little thief of a Pdgy! Did not Pidgy owe him
the money? And Howard had such ambitions!

What is the matter, Howard?" the choir
