Chemist Redfern in nursing a nice , little
millet plant which rrew from a seed takeu
from a glsss of Jam which he bought for
the pure strawberry variety. The little
teed taken from the Jam and tfcen
planted In the laboratory of the chemist
where It haa thrived and la now a husky
little plant. Mr. Redfern has Just com
pleted a bulletin in which he rives the
result of Ms analysis of Jams, Jellies and
extracts, showing that nearly all of the
samples examined are adulterated. Most
of the Jellies contained a large per cent
of starch and glucose.
If the proposed federal statute recently
passed by the senate passes congress,"
say State Chemist Redfern. "It remains
only for the states to enact more strin
gent pure food laws, and the legislature
of Nebraska aril! undoubtedly be asked
to do this. It haa been useless, hereto
fore, for the state to prohibit the manu
facture of adulterated food products in the
state, for under the Interstate commerce
act we are prevented from Interfering with
such products ahipped In from other
states."

SOLDIER
(U SOBERS
ESCAPE
Tww In Break Oat f Gaardhaase
ad Threaten ta Make Traaale.
VALENTINE. Neb.. Feb. K (Special.)
Two prisoners who escaped from the guard
house at Fort Niobrara a week ago are re
ported to be headed for Arizona. A third
prisoner. Private Rogers of the Ninth'
cavalry, who escaped with the other two,
was captured and brought back to the post.
Ha reports that his comrades told htra they
were going to buy guns and would rigor'
otisly resist any attempt to eanture them
Tsey are bad characters and will doubtless
put up a stiff fight before surrendering.
The prisoners made their escape from
the guard house between and 11 o'clock
at night by cutting the iron bars around
the toy of the cage in which all prisoners
are confined and then cutting the iron
bars on a window by which they left the
liouae. Their names are Sam Stone, aerv
lug one year for stealing blankets, and Guy
Raymond, recently tried for attempting to
shoot a fellow soldier. Private Rogers, who
also escaped and waa brought back. Is
half-breed Indian. He was accused of de
sertion from the Ninth cavalry.
A reward of $50 was at once offered for
the capture of each of the men, arid it Is
thought probable that this may induce
Mime ranchman to attempt their rapture.
In which case a fight will almost certainly
follow.
