the LYON COUNTY TIMES

EFFECT OF HEMP CIGARETTES
The use Of cigarettes made of hemp
is very common among the soldiers
of Western Mexico, and they say
that when one is under its influence
he can nsee what he wants to see."
It's use is prohibited by the officers,
because its effects are similar to
those produced by drinking TO ex-
cess, and the men cannot be aroused
until the sleep brought on by the
drug is over. A young Mexican
officer told the writer that on one
occasion when he was suffering in
tensely with the toothache, an old
sergeant suggested that if he would
smoke a hemp cigarette it would
put him to sleep and relieve his
pain. His suffering was so intense
that he was at last induced to try
the remedy, and the cigarette was
brought and he lay down and began
to smoke it. The effect at first was
very soothing and pleasant, but
presently strange and wild fancies
ran through his brain, and he was
suddenly stricken with uncontrol-
liable fear, and sprang from his bed
and rushed out into the court yard
of the house. There he thought he
received tremendous blow on the
back of his head, which sent it
spinning thousand feet into the
air like a shell from mortar. He
said he stood there and watched it
until it disappeared. He was sure
there was no mistake about it, for he
saw it plainly and distinctly. He
then started off in search of his head
and he says that he thought he was
away for days and days in the
search. At last, to his inexpressible
relief, after having been over hun
dreds of leagues of desert and noun
tain, he found himself in the court
yard of his house, with his head safe
on his shoulders. The sergeant told |
him that he had been walking up
and down the courtyard with him
for about half an hour only. The
toothache was gone, but he says he
suffered more in his headless search
for his head than he would from
thousand toothaches. He never
smoked hemp again.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The AcGldRche can not be turned aside
either by the correspondents or editor of
the Union and Americun from assaiing the
funding bill, the funding ring, and their
advocates and defenders. We shall keep
upthe fight until the people in the Novem-
ber elections have passed Judgment upon
them and their policy. We may be in
error in believing that the present system
of taxation, assessment and administra-
ton of State and local governments, is un-
equal and unjust, oppressive and ruinous
to the bests interests of the labor and
property of the State. It is not change
that We advocate, but reform of abuses:
not agitation for the sake of agitation, but
for the cause of better government, and
in this cause we are willing to submit to
odious epithets from our opponents who
have no argument 10 make.-hemphis

The army appropriation bin as it came
from the House did not effect, in any re.

States, but it proposed to augment the
Claims Commission by two new members
who were to have Jurisdiction of all claims
for property taken in loyal States. This
proposition was rejected by the Senate !;
and that body further amended the House
bill by requiring special appropriations by
Congress, to pay the awards of the Quarter
master and Commissary-General for loyal
States' property.
