WhV We Are Sick.

No device that can add to the comfort and
convenience of a dwelling is omitted in our mod
ern architecture, and money is not regarded
when the luxury of clothing or beauty of per
sonal adornmcnt is in question. Hence we all
live in better houses and wear better clothes
than did our forefathers. Why should we not
take the same better care of our bealtM Why
should dyspepsia, and the train of diseases that
follow it, almost unknown in the olden time be
so prevalent now! Simply because of the poi
sonous and indigestible trash which in these DAYS
is forced upon the public as genuine food or
used to adulterate those articles that go to make
up lhe daily bill of fare of every household.
Our forefathers were content to make money by
plain and honest methods; but the hot compe-
titon of the present day and the strife for rapid
riches have called forth all the ingenuity of mod
ern science to devise cunning deeeptions that
shall enable the avaricious dealer to more rap
idly increase his profits. even though lie destroy
the health of the public thereby. The con
sequence is adulterated, impure poisonous and
bogus food on every hand.
The people buy these adulterated articles of
food because they are cheap entirely ignorant
of their poisonous qualities. few years ago
this evil had reached such alarming proportions
in England that the public sentiment demanded
legislative interference and parliament enacted
the most severe repressive laws Dr. Small.
U. S. A. after an examination recently made
under the direction of the War Department,
concludes that the adulteration of food is as
great in this country to-day, and of as danger
Gus q Cndfdctcf, as IL was III England at the
time referred to. No article entering so gener-
ally into the food of every family has been
found more villainously adulterated than bak-
ing powder. For the purpose Of underseling an
absolutely pure powder like the "Royal'-which
has become the standard for purity and strength
in baking powders-hundreds of dealers are put
ting up baking powders with cheap and adulter-
ated cream Of tartar containing lime, EARTH etc.
adding strength by the free use of alum. These
powders are sold cheap, but their use is expen-
sige, for they are one of the chief causes of the
dyspepsia from which the American people are
suffering. This species of adulteration, at
least, can be avoided by following the advice of
Prof. Mott, the chemist to the government, who
recommends consumers when purchasing bak-
ing powders to select one standard powder as
the Royal Baking Powder, rather than to risk
purchasing adventurous compounds put upon
the market by persons who have no higher mo
tive than dollars and cents
We hope to see Congress take hold of this i'm
portant matter in a sufficiently vigorous manner
to put an end to the whole nefarious business.
In the meantime, if people will be as careful to
buy the best and purest food as they are to wear
the best clothes and build the most comfortable
houses. it will not be necessary to ask so fire.
quently the question. why are we sickF
Every scientific test has proven the ''Royal7 to
be pure and wholesome.

special says a heavy robbery occurred on the
west-bound Texas Pacific train. just rs it pulled
into the depot here, tonight at 9 o'clock, in
which an italian or Spanish priest, named J.
Casima, from Chicago, on his way to California,
robbed Of $13 900 While the priest was
paying for lunch in Dallas, early this evening.
he made display of his money, After the train
left Dallas he was approached by three men,
who tried to make his acquaintance, but were
unsuccessful. As the train was Stacking up at
Fort Worth the three strangers crowded on the
car platform by the priest: seized his arms
and another rapidly searched him, finding "a
large pocket-booll containing all his money in
his hip pocket. The priest recognized one Of the
robbers as one OF the men who attempted to
make his acquaintance, but could not seize
either before they disappeared in the crowd.
After the train had left Fort Worth a short dis
tance the priest, who continued aboard was
again on the platform and saw and recognized

A Young Lawyer starves to Death.

BosToN, May 10-A dispa tch to the Journal
from Concord, N. H., tells Iaout the death of
Franklin P. Norris, young lawyer, showing
within two years telegraph operator in the
South. Two years ago he was admitted to the
bar in Concord. He was extremely poor, and
was upright, temperate and industrious, but did
not develop much aptitude for the profession.
His earnings were not enough it now turns out,
to pay for ordinary table board, but his strait
ened circumstances were not suspected.
Yesterday, late in the afternoon, visitor to the
Office in which Norris had desk found the poor
fellow alone and in commissions. He lay on
sofa with thin quilt over him The only food
in the was a small bag of ordinary crack
and a tumbler of water. 1t seems that he
had no other lodging place except the Office, and
that he had no food that day except few crack
ers. Five hours after he was discovered he died,
physicians being unable to restore his vitality.
There were many i'll Concord who would have
helped him had they known his destitution.

MIR. Keene,s Private Barber.

NEW YORK, May l0.--It has leaked out that
one of James r. Keene's extrayagances was a
private barber, who Travelled four miles daily to
scrape the face ana rub the head Of the now de-
throned Wall street king. In his bathroom MIR,
Keene had all the necessary adjuncts of first
class tonsorial establishment including cosmetic,
vasaine tonics and bay rum, and here he re
clined every morning in an easy chair while his
favorite barber gently lathered and softly drew
the keen-eGged razor across the spectators face.
The fact has also leaked out that the ex-Calfor
MIA operator owes his barber $1,000 for past
favors rendered, and which includes possibly a
modest venture in puts and calls, and he in
formed the knight of the shears few days ago
that he must not feel uneasy about the little
amount, as eventually it would be paid in full

.ZANEsyILLE' May 1.-THE town has been ex-
cited to-day over supposed earthquake near

o'clock this morning terrific crack was heard
and about three acres of ground sank several
feet, carrying with it a number of houses which
were badly damaged. The inhabitants in this

is that several deserted coal mines have caved.
No loss of life renorted.

another of the good times that our con

A fine audience greeted Prof. Plank
at the Presbyterian church last Sum-
day evening to listen to his lecture on
Natural Proofs of the Immortality Of
the Soul" and as far as we have learn
ed all went away well satisfied.
While the Professor does not claim
demonstrative proof of immortality, he
certainly shows that the probabilities
are in favor of 1t. His course of lectures
on Botany which were begun Tuesday
night at the Court house, and which
will be continued tonight and tO-mor-
row night, have not been nearly so
we'll attended, on account of the in
clement weather, as they deserve to be.
They are lectures which every one can
hear with pleasure an we'll as profit.
All can understand them, as they are
not the least technical, while at the
same time they impart II great deal of
practical and useful information. A
feature of all the Professors
lectures, is the aptness and beauty of
his illustrations. showing a wide and
acquaintance with the best
literature Of the world. This is the
first time within our recollection that
lola has had an opportunity to hear
really superior scientific lectures, and
we wish that she might show her ap-
probation by crowding the Courthouse
to night and tomorrow night.

THE ENGLE CASE.

The coroner's inquest over the body
of Samuel G.. Engle, Of Moran, whose
death at the hands of VIM. Smith, was
mentioned last week, disclosed some
what different state Of facts from those
reported to us last week. A number
of witnesses were examined, and they
practically agreed that Mr.. Engle was
the aggressor throughout, and that
Smith only acted in self defense. 1t
seems, from the testimony, that Engle
went to Smiths house about nine
o'clock and knocked at the door.
Smiths brother opened it and Engle
asked for Smith. The latter heard
him, and getting up he partially dress
ed and went 10 the door. Engle asked
him for the key to the shop. Smith
asked him if he was mad. He replied
with an oath, Eyes / am" He then
accused Smith of insulting his wife.
Smith denied it. Engle had q knife
in his hand and raised it to strike.
Smiths brother got between them and
they pushed Engle off the porch two
or three times. He again started tow
ard Smith when the latter picked up
hoe and struck him with it. He fell
and said, 81 give upn Smith then
took his knife and handed it to his
brother and the latter then took Engle
home. Engle was very drunk, and
after he got home kept getting wilder
until his wife sent for physician. DR..
Lambeth came and examined the
wound made by the hoe handle, but
did not think it serious. Gave him
dose to counterfeit effects of whiskey.
Returned at seven o'clock next morn
ing and found him unconscious. He
did not recover consciousness, we be-
lieve, and died about four o'clock in
the afternoon. A post norton exami-
nation showed small fracture of the
skull, by which clot of blood was
formed upon the brain, causing death.
The jury rendered verdict in ac-
cordance with the above facts, agree
ing that the blow from which death
resulted, was "Struck by w. w.
Smith, not feloniously but being in
fear of bodily danger from the ha nds
of said s. c. Engle."

cles of their own manufacture, just the
things for holiday presents.
