The Curse of whisky.

George Scheller, the Milwaukee saloonist,
who has been on trial for his life, charged
with the burning Of the Newhsll House last
January, has been acquitted of the horrible
crime. PecAS Sun says Of him:
Here is man who had been one OF the best
hotel clerks and bookkeepers In the West, de-
posed from ono position and another and
then going Into the saloon business and being
his most capacious customer young man not
much over thirty, handsome, fayorite
with all, and better capable OF keeping o
flrstclass hotel than half the landlords,
drinking whisky until he suffered, sitting up
nights till he couldn't rest day times and get
ting lower every year, until friends who know
lleve that he was the same boy. And when
the fire came, and all ears were filled with the
walls OF the burned victims, and the whole
city was morgue, and funeral with forty
cof1lns at q time took possession OF the streets,
and there were tears In every eye and re-
pie should point to whisky In George
Scheller, and shake their heads and lay
the catastrophe TO the whisky? No man who
knew him believed that he would harm the
hair OF any persons head, but many feared
that the demon that he had concealed about
good and true, have said that he did not do It,
and now let his experience be a lesson not only
TO him, but to every young man, to let whisky
alone. II every drop OF the accursed stun
could be sunk so deep that all OF
the the, suction pumps aso In the world world
could not draw up enough of 1t TO mako a
whisky sour, every man, woman and child
would be better or. No young man should
ever engage In the trai1lc II he has an appetite
for It, and he shouldn't, anyway, for he may
acquire one. Whisky, and nothing else, has
come so near getting this man lynched that
there was no fun In II.
