The trouble all arose over the killing of Dennis O'Connell of Company F, Fif tenth Minnesota last night by Brown Hadley, a barkeeper. The difficulty began over profane language used with in hearing of Hadley's wife, who was in a room adjoioiog the bar. Many of the soldiers of the Fifteenth Minnesota, when they learned of the killing, began to swear veogeanoe. They believed th as Eadley had been taken by the police, and ii was from them that they would have bim. Shortly after breakfast the murmur ings took the more definite form of con certed action, and about 100 of the men made plans for the capture of the murderer. Tho enlisted men bad no bail cart ridges for their rifles, bot going to the regimental commissary store they took possession"and broke open the ammuni tion boxes aad each mao took aboat 50 round of ammunition, and then getting hts rifle be was awaj. * Previous to this, however, the men were talked to by the officers, and it was thought that all was over, but it was only a very short while after, that, sweeping aside officers who attempted to keep them from the ammunition stores, they entered and broke open the cases contaioiog che cartridges. The news spread like a prairie fire over the camp and as soon as it reaohed the ears of Gen. 8. S. Sumner, the commander of the First division of the Second army corps, he ordered out the Third cavalry and the Tenth Ohio aisd the Thirty fifth Michigan regiments The men were deployed ae skirmish ers and the woods in the vicinity of the camp were scoured most thorough ly. It was some time before any of the men who were breaking away could be found, bot gradually they were come upon, and abo t half past. 10 Troop A, uoder command , of Lieut. Hawkios, found the entire lot, about 60 men, armed and with 50 rounds of ammuni tion. They were in the woods io the rear of the First division hospital. When they were captured they wera taken to Fi rit Divjeioo h eada aar te ra and put uoder guard. Gen. Sumner issued orders that all passes issued should be confiscated and that no more be issued. The ringleaders were pot io irons The military authorities refuse to give the names of the men under arrest. Brown Hadley gave himself up to the authorities-seme distaoce from tbe city, where be bad taken refoge. He was takeo aboard the night train to Atlanta where be will be confined io Fulton oouoty jail until bis trial oan be ar ranged for. It is a so oer truth tn at people who live only to amuse themselves work harder at the task than most people do in earning their daily bread.-Hannah More.

Denver, Co!., Feb 4.-The weath er was fair today, but very cold, the minimum temperature being 19 de grees below zero. The Denver and Rio Grande and Colorado Midland railways have redoubled their efforts to open their lines west of Leadville, and through traffic over the Colorado Transcontinental route will probably be resumed to morrow The Midland Terminal road bas been cleared of snow, and traffic over this line to Cripple Creek was resumed to day. Reports received by the Denver Stockman from all sections of the west indicate but small losses of stock- in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, but in northern Wyoming and Montana, where most of (be cattle are on the open range it is feared that the losses will be heavy unless a change comes almost imme diately. DOWN TO 48 BELOW ZERO. Botte, Mont, Feb 2 -To-day oc curred the firet break in the extremely cold weather which has prevaled throughout Montana for more than a week. The thermometer this after noon went up to 18 below zero. Last night it registered 35 in the city and 48 in South Butte. This evening it was down to 22 below again lu the city. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather no deaths on account of it have been reported in the State. Great loss on the cattle ranges is feared. COLDEST IN EIGHT YEARS Lincoln, Neb , Feb. 4 -Last night was the coldest for eight years in central and northern Nebraska, the mercury registering 32 below zero at Valentine, 22 below at Beaver City and 10 below at North Platte. There was an absence of wind and Valentine, which is the centre of tibe north Nebraska cattle ranges, report that stock ie standing the cold weath er well and that there have been no losses. Embalmed Beef Poisonous. Under the title, "'Embalmed' Beef as an army Ration," Dr. George F. Sbrady discussed in Saturday"is issue of the Medical Record the recent disclosures concerning the food.furnished to our soldiers. The transportation of beef on the hoof, he says, was not attempted, refrigera tion was impracticable, and canned goods "were so imperfectly prepared j that when unpacked they were found in most instances to be far advanced in rottenness " Condoning, Dr Shrady says : Worse than all, however, was the j unwarrantable experiment of adding chemicals in tbe shape of bor fie ic and salicylic acids to prevent decom position The overwhelming testi mony of such as used the "embalm ed" beef is to the effect that it WEIS offensive to sight, smell and taste, was to the last degree unappetizing and unwholesome, and that in very many instances it produced many of the digestive troubles, which so largely prevailed among the soldiers The latter state of affairs can be easily explained by the ingestion of the toxins of decomposing animal food on the one band, and the con start admixture of chemical products with the food in question on the other As there is no proof to show that boracic and salicylic acids are absolute preservatives, it is fair to presume that the "embalmed" beef was not only more or less decom posed, bot was artificially "doctored ' besides Tbns the two conditions were combined to make the men sick. Aside from the reprehensible prac tice of adding chemicals of any kind to food there is a positive danger in so doing of slowly poisoning the un suspecting victim Theoretically we may assome that either of the acids mentioned may not be need in sufficient quantities in any given case to produce immediately deleterious effects, but practically we mast con clude that their continued use moat be necessarily fraught with harm in intelfering with digestion, in ar resting .proper nutriment, in compli eating secretion, and eventually in irritating the entire intestinal tract Deaths have occurred from over doses of both these drags, and why should not smaller quantities, long continued, have a like effect ? The contractors are willing, however, to inflict these risks on the mere reports of some analytical chemists who are seemingly paid in advance for favor able opinions regarding the actual heathfulness of these abominable adulterations The chemist, expert as he may be in the processes of analysis, is not a proper judge of the physiological action of drugs. "In any event," adds Dr. Shrady, j "a proper public sentiment will be j created against the general principle of adulteration by facts which will be I brought ont in the impending inves tigation Morally and scientifically ! any form of food adulteration is wrong, and tbe sooner the guilty jobbers can learn this the better " FOOD THAT INJURES. i : THINGS THAT AFFLICTED PERSONS SHOULD NOT EAT. I H Yon Have a Tendency to Gont, Shun Meat as Yon Would Torture. A Little Advice to the Great Army of Sufferers From Dyspepsia. A physician, writing in the Phila delphia Inquirer on "Foods and Their Effect on the Human System," says: That out of sorts feeling from which most of ns suffer half the days of onr life is nsnally dne to our eating things we shouldn't. Although we are con 1 structed on the same model, scarcely any two people have exactly the same kind cf beari, liver and other organs, and as a result nothing is truer than the saying that "One man's meat is an other man's poison." . Meat, for instance, is a slow poison to a number of individuals. If there is a gonty strain in your family, you are storing up future torture for yourself every time you eat a chop or piece of beef. Gout is simply the result of too much uric acid in the blood, and meat is full of the material from which urio acid is made. Yon may think that so long as yon have not to sit in an easy chair all day there is no need for precautions in diet But the first symptoms are always mild, and if you feel irritable and un able to settle down to work yon had better be careful how much meat you eat Englishmen are said to be the worst tempered people on earth. They are also the most gouty, and there can be no doubt that they are the greatest meat eaters. Nothing is more nourishing than sugar, yet it is absolutely poison to those who are prono to diabetes, and any one inclined to corpulency should regard it as a natural enemy. Two lumps of sugar per day in excess of the quantity required by the body would add 60 pounds to a man's weight in five years-that is, of course, if he had the sort of constitution that easily puts on flesh. But it is not sugar alone which is in jurious to diabetic and stout people. The former should not look at porridge, rice, beet root, Spanish onions, port wine, mm or ginger beer; the latter should take neither soap, beer, potatoes nor treacle, while gouty people should not touch peas or beans. If any near member of your family has St. Vitus' dance or epilepsy, you should eat meat very sparingly and grapes not at all, while you might as well think of committing suicide as fre quenting the barroom. for dyspeptics it is impossible to say what food is good, because everything is bad. White bread remains undigest ed for hours, brown bread is most irri tating and injurious, vegetables are con verted into gases and painful acids, and most kinds of meat are too heavy. The dyspeptic in fact, ought never to have been born. However, since the sufferer from dys pepsia must eat, let him follow this rule, and it may bring relief: Eat a little of everything, but eat sparingly, never leaving the table with a sense of hav ing eaten sufficient ; eat slowly. Masti cate ali food thoroughly and never drink while eating. If he must drink, let him drink after he has finished eating. No doubt the majority of people see no connection between their ailments and the breakfast or dinner which they have enjoyed. But there are many per sons who are so severely affected by par ticular articles of diet that there is no question about the fact that some kinds of food are more or less poisonous to us all, although we may not suffer very greatly after eating them. An acquaint ance of the writer's, for example, falls into convulsions if he eats a single strawberry, and even the odor of straw berry jam in the neighborhood of jam factories almost throws him into a fit The writer knows a lady whose heart comes to a stop if she eats an egg. Of course she never intentionally eats one now, but frequently on taking a piece of cake or some kind of pudding or sance containing eggs she swoons. Many people get cramp in the stom ach from eating honey, and more than one death has resulted from this cause. Others are made violently sick by the smell of apples, and a patient of the writer's has often averred that even the sight of beet root seemed to suffocate him; while another bad to give up drinking milk because it produced in tense inflammation of the eyes. Many kinds of fish cause serious ill ness. Lobsters and crabs produce most painful itching in some people, and the writer has known several who after eat ing salmon felt a horrid taste in the mouth, and soon after suffered so badly from headache as to be compelled to go to bed. These latterare the extreme instances of injury from food, but they prove that thousands of people suffer in a less de gree, and that probably no one can lunch or dins without swallowing some thing poisonous to his system.

The Paris of the pavement, gay, bright and exhilarating, is fairly fa miliar to ns all, bnt underground Paris, dark, solitary and damp, extending for miles, is comparatively unknown. A part of this area is devoted to the cata combs-a valley of dry bones, a garden of the dead ; the rest a garden still more vast, provides for the wants, or rather the luxuries, of the living-it is devot ed to mushroom cultura Th se subter ranean gardens extend for some 20 miles under the gay capital and are from 20 feet to 160 feet beneath the surface. It is very difficnlt to obtain permis sion to visit them, and even when per mission is obtained it requires some courage to avail oneself of it, for the only entrance is a circular opening lite the month of a well, ont of which a long pole stands. Through this pole, fastened, at the top only, at fairly long intervals, sticks are thrust This prim itive ladder, the base of which swings like a pendulum in the impenetrable darkness below, is the only means of reaching the caves.

Many Londoners have visited the Italian district, which lies in the neigh borhood of Theobald's road and Hatton Garden, and some with inquiring minds have strolled np Leather lane and watched the Italian ice cream venders and fortune telling women with pretty love birds, intermingled with the dirty, noisy, street hawkers, common to all London slums. It is amazing to learn how these Italians crowd together in the poky little houses of the courts and alleys. Generally a house is hired byan old padrone, who sublets to as many of his countrymen as he can respectably squeeze in. The cellars are utilized as sleeping: apartments, and in the morn ing as many as 20, even 30, men will emerge from the bowels of the earth, blinking and winking in the daylight after a night spent in the cellars under one small dwelling house.

"Well, it was short." "Ob," said the bishop, "it ia better to be abort than tedious." "But," replied Canning, "you were that too."
