upon the rioters, III order dispense them, when the
latter immediately moved their position further south
to the other side of the Jail Mayor Walker ordered
the company TO stop playing (Which had been done

''Now that public attention has been called to the
subject Of hydfophoba, 1t may interest to know
that ingenious theory is hell by medical men
which cscts the idea that the madness Of the bitter
