THE KLINE CASE.

The Kline poisoning case rests Just where 1t was
two weeks ago, Professor Morley has not yet
been heard from and that indicates that he has
found traces Of poison and is proceeding with q
thorough analysis. Had he not found poison upon
the fist test he would then have written to Coro
ner Cock 10 have the body OF Simon Kline ex.
humed and have his liver and heart sent to him
As he has not done this tits thought that having
found indications Of poison he is continuing with
the analysis Joe Kline is resting In jail as con.
tentedly as one could expect him to under the
circumstances Some new evidence has recently
come to light An Alliance druggist named Van
Week has made known to Prosecuting Attorney
Harter that sometime about the first of December
strange young man answering to the desCrip.
ton Of Joe Kline entered his drug store and asked
for eight grains OF morphine in bulk. Mr. Van
Week responded that that was dangerous way
to handle so powerful a drug. The party said
that it was for an old lady accustomed to taking
1t and that 1t was all right. Having his doubts
Mr., Van Week put the morphine up In forty
powders and the young man left Mr.. Van
Week will come to Canton in day or two to see
If Joe Kline is the same person.. In case this
proves to be Joe, 1t will add another link to the
already strong chain Of evidence, which has &C.
cumulated against him, The bitterness In the
coffee, which Mrs. Boyle, the housekeeper, says
caused such burning sensation in her throat
and stomach was ocCasioned by the presence Of
oxalic acid, which 1t seems Joe had purchased at
Nyes drug store Coroner Cock has already sut.
fcient evidence upon which to base verdict,
but he prefers to wait until the contents of the
stomach have been analysed.

nov TO KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM

Is an earnest treatise by rising author who
has recently made his advent in the literary
world. George D Hunt well known as teacher
in parts Of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylva
mia, and long q resident Of Salem, has condensed
and concentrated his ideas on the proper govern
ment Of youth acquired through long course OF
teaching and brought them to bear on the one
special subject Of home training with view to
inducing our young men to enlist themselves
earnestly for the term of their vigorous life In the
ranks Of Agriculturalists Some months ago he
produced a similar work except that 1t was de-
livered IN measures and rhyme en- the subject Of
teaching, especially in the school room. This
time hiseffusions are given in plain prose, but with
an earnestness, directness and force that per
hsps even exceed the same qualities In his Mod
ern Pedagogy"
His remarks on the "Choice Of Business" are
full Of practical observations and reflections that
the young would do well to bear in mind--and
older ones too-when selecting calling in which
to spend the term Of life allotted to them here
He tells US ian error in the choice Of business is
misfortune" He might well have added, "tha'
can seldom be Iemedied," which indeed he does
in more elaborate way He enfOrces the idea
vehemently that on this choice depends largely
the happiness and the usefulness Of the man In
future life,
In his second chapter he enlaTges on the digni'
ty, the independence and the nobility Of farming
showing 1t to be the main cornerstone Of the
prosperity Of society and the calling preservatve
of callings while in the next he draws compari
son between city and countrylife showing the
greater safety and more varied usefulness of the
latter, and It's greater freedom from temptations
to immortality and to hazardous financial invest
ments.
In his closing chapter on the ERRORS and De-
linquencies of Parents" he administers well
merited rebuke to those parents who so far forget
their duty as to make the cAllings Of their chill
dren secondary matter in life making the first
object in life the accumulation Of money for
themselves A young man just setting out IN life
needs the advice and counsel Of his parents and
II he is disposed TO follow judicious counsel his
prospects are far better than those who rush head
long into business.
"How to Keep Boys on the Farm" is pamphlet
that will be read with interest by those whose
simple and uHsophistCated tastes 1t is calculated
to please

Many people think IL cheaper to buy 25 cent
sizes Of a proprietary medicine, But they make
a mistake. For instance, DR., Wistar's Balsam OF
White Cherry contains about eight times the
quantity of ordinary % cent cough bsIsams, Be-
81 les 1t takes a less quantity Of Wistars Balsam
to cure a cold. A single dose is often sufficient,
