TEN PEOPLE
POISONED BY
EMBALMED BEEF

Kalamazoo, Mich, Sept 11.-Ten
persons in three different families of
this city have been lying at the
point of death for over II hours, suf-
fering from the effects of eating dried
beef delivered to their homes Satur-
day by a man who cannot be located.
A partial investigation has revealed
that the meat came originally from
one of the large packing houses.
Physicians are of the opinion that
some sort of embalming fluid, used as
preservative, was used in the beef,
and was the cause of the poisoning.

Predicament in Ohio,

Dayton, o., Sept. 1.-THE candi
dates for state Offices before today's
republican convention appear to have
been lost sight of and the whole in.
terest centers on the United States
senators and their endorsement and
the candidacy of Senator Dick for re-
election as chairman OF the state
executive committee. After the con
test for the Craftsmanship, interest is
greatest in the question as to wheth-
er the convention will give equal en-
dorsement to President Roosevelt and
the two senators, in view of the differ
ences of opinion between them on
some matters of legislation at Wash
ington last year.
There is no doubt that Roosevelt
will be heartily endorsed, but the
question of endorsement of the SEN
ators, which naturally follows, is re-
garded as rather a contradiction OF
that given the president, if both reso-
lutions are equally strong and hearty.
The condition throughout is most re-
markable, even for Ohio, where I'M
usual political complications and COM
binations have become well known.
