Not Afraid of Assassins.

President Benjamin Harrison used to-
ramble around Washington at night
by himself. Colonel Dan Ransdell, a,
lifelong friend Of the great Indianian,
was President Harrison's marshal of
the District of Columbia and kept in
very close touch with the president all
through his term. Colonel Ransdelf
lived north Of Dupont circle, quite a
mile and half from the White House
He ceased to be surprised by the un-
expected and unannounced visits made
to him by the president at various hours
Of the night after General Harrison's
first few months in the White House
Once when Colonel Ransdell remon-
strated with him against venturing out
at night unaccompanied, admonishing
him of the danger of assassination
General Harrison said:
"An assassin cannot be lodged, Dan
am as safe from harm on that score
while walking from the White House
to your residence after dark and alone
as l am when receiving callers or go
ing about the city in the daytime under
the watchful eyes Of detectives and
policemen. The assassin always gets
his prey when once he makes up his
mind to do SO. But have no fear Of
assassination, least of all am | afraid
of being assaulted in dark street at
night. t."-Washingto Herald.

AMENDED REGULATIONS.
New Rules Governing Manufacture Of
Donatured Alcohol.

Washington, July 26.-Amended de-
nat,lred alcohol regulations have been
issued by the commissioner of internal
revenue to take the place on Sept. 1
of the regulations heretofore issued
and are made necessary by the act
passed by the last congress.
Under the new regulations, In addi-
ton to denatured warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing
warehouses may be constructed at
such points as business interests may
require and alcohol may be transferred
from denaturing warehouses by means
Of tanks or tank cars to consumers.
Manufacturers using completely de-
natured alcohol are not required to
swear to application for permit and a
permit when secured continues In
force until revoked and retail dealers
In denatured alcohol are not required
to keep a record Of any kind. Indus
trial or farm distilleries may produce
alcohol from anything that contains
fermentable matter. At these distil-
leries one room ma@ be used as a
combined cistern, distillery warehouse
and denaturing warehouse.
Industrial distilleries are divided
into two classes In the first class are
placed distilleries Of surveyed capac-
fly of fifty proof gallons or less of
spirits in twenty-four hours. At such
distilleries storekeeper gaugers are
not regularly assigned unless the COL
Iector certifies that in his opinion the
presence of an officer at a particular
dfstillery Is necessary.
Distilleries Of the second class are
those that produce more than fifty
gallons and less than 100 gallons of
distilled spirits daily. At distilleries
of this class an officer will be reg
ularly assigned unless the collector
shall certify that the distillery can
safely operate without one.

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
New Cow Food rlade cut of Butter

milk.
Manhattan, Kan, July S.-An end
less chain arrangement that on it's
face appears to be the most economi
cal scheme ever devised has been in
vented by Professor Oscar Err, of the
Kansas State Agricultural college here.
Professor Err takes the milk secured
from the cows on the college farm,
converts it into powder and feeds it
back to the cows, making what is de-
clared to be the cheapest of all COW
foods.
The food invented by Professor Err
is made of buttermilk. He has perfec-
ted system of drying buttermilk and
thenconverting it into powder. The
dried buttermilk contains 20 per cent
protein, twice as much as cotton seed
meal contains, and can be manufac-
tured for u cents pound. Thus a
food twice as rich as cotton seed can
be manufactured at approximately the
cost of the latter.
One hundred pounds of buttermilk
will make from uine to ten pounds of
the finished product and as the esti-
mated waste of buttermilk in the
creameries of Kansas is 700 lbs.
daily, it is figured that by the adoption
of this process a saving of 100000 can
be made yearly in Kansas alone.
Professor Err left today for the East.
He will sail for Europe soon to attend
the international dairymen's congress
at The Hague, to which he was dele
gate.

MANY RESUME WORK
Impression Prevails That Strike
Of Range Miners Is Broken.
GOVERNOR JOHNSON ON HAND

Warns Strike Leader That State VIII
Back Local Authorities in Preserv-
ing Order in the Event of an Out
break of Violence.
Duluth, July 26.-That the backbone
Of the. strike on the ranges Is broken
seems to be the general impression
among the business men in the range
towns and there seems to be little
doubt but that the steel corporation
can secure men in sS@adily increasing
numbers to work their mines as soon
as they desire to open up. The men
are assured of protection by the firm
stand taken by the citizens and do
not fear violence from the strikers.
Governor Johnson arrived in Hib-
bing about a. m. He was met by a
newspaper representative and taken
to Petriella's headquarters, where he
was introduced to the strike leader.
The governor told Petriella that he
hoped there would be no violence dur
ing the strike and that if there was
and the local authorities were unable
to cope with the situation the state
would stand behind them and send
men to preserve order.
Petriella gave the governor his as
surance that there would be no vio-
lence IL he could prevent it. He stated
that it was the intention of the West
ern Federation of Miners to fight the
strike out in a peaceful manner and
not to Interfere with the men who de-
sired to go back to work. He further
stated that il any of the union men
backslide they would not be intfmi-
dated, eut that the federation intend
ed to establish Offices in Duluth, Chi
cago and Detroit to warn men that
there was a strike ON the ranges and
to advertise the fact that the United
States Steel corporation was unfair
to organized labor
The men appear to be gradually 60
ing back to work. At the Morris mine
there are 800 men working in the day
shifteand 100 in the night shift. Larger
forces are also working on all the
stripping operations.
Governor johnson will go from Htb-
bing to Mountain Iron, Virginia and
Eveleth to become familiar with the
situation there.
