in the store. After going about five miles

Harrison hall was we'll filled yesterday
afternoon by the Reform club and OF he1
prohibitionist. The meeting was opened
by music by the choir, which, under the
direction of the leader, Vim. Robertson
rendered several very fine selections.
Mr.. Satterlee began with short
sermon, counseling his hearers not TO be-
come discouraged if complete victory
was not attained ct an early date. but to
look back over the past year and note the
progress, and look forward hopefully to
the future, remembering that reform is
generally slow.
Mr. Satterlee has followed by several
members Of the club in short speeches, and
by Mrs. Hyde, of st. Paul, who recited
'The Singers Alms.'
At the conclusion of the recitation Scrap
Iron Bill took the floor, and commenced
the delivery of one Of his characteristic ad-
dresses, in the midst of which ne denied
that the churches were not in sym patty
with the prohibition movement, and said
1.-The church is the foundation"
A voice in the audience remarked, IF the
church people will vote as they pray we
shall win glorious victory" At this there
was tumultuous applause which effectually
prevented the continuance Of Mr.. Eibel's
remarks.
After several announcements the meet
ing closed with music by the choir.

Herculaneum.

The first building excavated at Hercu-
ianeum is an oil merchants shop with
tanks in the marble counters and inef-
faceable green stains from the copper
coins left by the fleeing owner, to be
pocketed by the antiquarian despoiler
100 years after. An eating house, its
little table still standing, is near, and
beyond is the principal building exca-
waited, the house of the Argus, so named
from fresco that was found there. A
beautiful dwelling it must have been, its
gayly .frescoed rooms opening upon a
colonnade about an open court now fresh
and smiling as of old, with luxuriant
garden, gay and sweetscented. and in
its midst the marble seat that stands, as
of old, fitting reminder that the Ital-
ians of old, as their descendants, loved
to repose as well as to work under the
open sky. The colors on the stucco,
faded somewhat in Pompeii, are here
brilliant as if it were but yesterday that
they were disclosed, for wind and weather,
whose prying fingers have been busy at
Pompem, stood helpless before herock-
bound doors of Herculaneum.

Shooting -4frGy.

At about 8 o'clock last evening young
man named Gillock, who has until recently
been employed as bartender in Whites
saloon, at IL North Main street, was shot
through the thigh by an unknown colored
man. Gillock and comrades were riding
on the rear platform of a Monroe street
car laughing and talking jocularly, when
they passed two colored men
on the sidewalk near Farnham and
Lovejoy's mill. One of the darHef at once
ran up to the car, and wanted to know if
they were the objects of their merriment.
Being answered in the negative the fellow
persisted that he had been insulted, and
drew his revolver with the statement that he
wasa new conner in Minneapolis but inten-
ded to shoot some one before he left. He
pointed the revolver menacingly at one of
the young men, who jumped from the car.
Gillock quickly pushed the darkey of, and
received the bullet. The city is being
secured by police, and the shootist will
probably be taken into custody. Fortu-
nately the bullet only made flesh wound.

Adalterated Drugs.

The charge that some Philadelphia
druggists do not honestly compound
prescriptions seems to be borne out by
good evidence. "Not long ago." says
one physician, Zone OF my patients was
suffering from malaria chills, and I pre-
scribed quinine, but the disease showed
no signs of disappearing. Then began
to suspect something wrong. The pa
tent was taking sugar coated quinine
pills, each pill being supposed to con-
tain two grains Of quinine. Upon max
ing cumulative analysis of some of
the pills I. found that they contained
one-quarter of grain each. This is
rather a large discrepancy between the
prescription and the medicine when you
consider that my patient was made to
pay full value for the worthless pills.
The substitutes for quinine were starch
and the cheaper alkaloids of the Gin
chona bark. made my patient take
my prescriptions to druggist whom I
knew to be honest, and her recovery was
rapid"

A SHOCKING SUICIDE.
An Inebriated S,redc Takes His Otria Life
in Horrible Manner.


At nearly 10 o'clock last night all South
Minneapolis was Mortified by the report
that bloody suicide had occurred. The
reporters fastened to Scandinavian
boarding house at No. 1911 south Fifth
street and there learned the following par.
ticulars. On going into the house the re.
porter was shown to a little bedroom
scarcely furnished, where was found lying
weltering in his own blood and in the
throes of death, q middle aged Swede whose
name is John Edward johnson. During
the last few days johnson has given full
sway to an insatiate appetite for whisky
On Saturday he seemed Respondent
and told companion that he thought OF
ending his earthly career in some manner,
as he had nothing to live for and wanted to
die. But little heed was paid to the threat
however, it having been concluded that it
was merely a drunken rashness. Yester-
day forenoon johnson was unusually
drunk, but in the evening sobered up to a
considerable extent. He went to his room
at about o'clock, and nearly an hour later
one of the boarders, hearing IN
natural sounds emanating from the
room, opened the door and entered, only to
find the man had only too we'll meant his
ominous threat. Taking a razor from his
trunk he had slashed his throat, cutting a
deep cash almost from ear to ear, and the
sight of the gaping wound was indeed
sickening. His left arm above the elbow
was also horribly lacerated. DR.. L. Damn
was quickly summoned, but the victim of
his own folly was past the aid of anything
earthly. Johnson had no family that was
known of, and when sober worked by the
day atordinary employment, the coroner
was notified last night, and an inquest may
be held to-day, but it is not now thought
necessary, as it is clearly case Of self
destruction. The theory is that the man
suffered from an attack of delirium' ire

Verdict Against a Newspaper.

court rescript received at Salem overrules
the exceptions by the defendants in the
libel suits of Rev. Charles D. Lathrop
against Bowles and others,proprietors of the
Springfield Republican and the verdict for
$1,000 for plaintiff now stands. This case
was begun early in 1878 and arose from
statements in certain suburban correspond
ence of the Republican wherein the plant
if in this case was charged with cruelty to
his wife and daughter. The case attracted
much attention. Exceptions were taken
to the verdict found, and were argued be-

resigned. The case was reargued at Salem

The Japanese Islands.

The area of Japan is about $50, 600
square miles, comprising nearly. 5000
islands, mostly small. Of the four large
islands Yesso is most mountainous,
though having some extended plains
well adapted to the production of wheat
and rye. The island Of Sagalian was
coded to Russia in 1875. Yesso and
Curule islands are full of valuable tim
Der. The forests of Japan are mostly
evergreen.
In all about one-tenth of Japan is Gull

Is adapted to cultivation-an area
scarcely greater than the State of IL
inois. Yet the population sustained is
SO, 600, 900. OF course the population
largely depends upon fish, of which
there is surprising abundance. Ag-
riculture has hardly made any advance
ment. In three centuries the product
OF the country has scarcely been in
creased. The tea product now amounts
to nearly 5,O0O, 900 pounds annually.

expression to their sympathy for the per-

were made in English, German and Bohe-

. A Farmers Hot-Bed-Boxes.

"L. A. g." asks us CIVIL hot-bed
pay farmer with small garden?" If
he has had experience in the manage
ment of one, and will give the needed
time to the care oft, and can find sale
for the plants he does not wish to use
himself, he can no doubt make the
source of moderate profit. But if it
care of hot-bed will take time that can
be better employed otherwise, it is not
worth while for him to make one for the
sole purpose of supplying his own
garden with plants. It is better to buy
the few needed plants, or, better still,
raise them in window-boxes. We have
often referred to these, but their utility
does not seem to be generally appre-
ciated. They allow one to provide all
the plants of early cabbage, cauli.
flower, tomatoes. or whatever would
be sown In a hot-bed. which are
needed in an ordinary garden, at no ex-
pense In money and very little time or
care in labor. Boxes are readily pro-
cured at any country store; as the win
dow box need be only three inches deep.
an ordinary box may usually be sawed
In two, using the top for the bottom of
the upper half. These are to be nearly
filled with light, rich soil, in which the
seeds are to be sown, and kept in sun
ny Kitchen window. When the plants
show the rough leaves. i. e., the leaves
that follow the seed-leaves, they are to
be transplanted to other boxes and given
more room. Some manage by the use
OF old tomato and oyster cans to raise a
supply of plants. It is easy, if some
one in the family will give the
needed attention, to thus have an album
