How They Do Things Ont West.

From the Sedaha MO- Democrat
Mr.. Edwin Logan Killie, land and
mining speculator, who had been stop
ping in Sedalia for few days, was the
recipient of a most beautiful seal ring
from Oscar Dodge of New York City,
yesterday. The incidents which led to
this expression of friendship, on the
part of MIR. Dodge, happened about six
years ago in California, and are quite
interesting. Mr.. Dodge represents a
large manufacturing establishment, and
at the time of the following incident,
was travelling from Ukiah to Cloverdale
on horseback with about twelve hun
dred dollars of his friends money III his
pockets, when he was held up by two
men, robbed, and his horse turned
loose. About fifteen minutes after, MIR.
Killie came along in a buggy. MIR.
Dodge was 80 much excited he could
scarcely explain what had happened,
but as soon as he could, kille, VIC ~ss
then scarcely 20 years old, directed him
to crawl in the back of the buggy and
keep quiet, after which he took double
barTeled shotgun from under She seat,
stuck it between his legs and drove on.
He had scarcely driven q mile when he
spied the robbers. They did not seem
to avoid him, so he drove up to within
ten feet of them, raised his gun and
commanded them to throw mp their
hands and dismount. They were para
lived with fear but obeyed. He then
directed Dodge to search them, which
he did. recovering all his money. They
brought their prisoners to within a mile
of Cloverdale, when they decided that
if one of the two men would return and
bring Dodge's horse to Cloverdale by 8
o'clock at night, they would release
both; otherwise they would turn the re-
naming prisoner over to the sheriff.
They were more than willing to abide
by that, and before Z o'clock that night,
Killie and Dodge were on their way to
Santa Rosa, with horse, money and a
fine gold watch given Killie by one OF
the highwaymen, and were as happy as
if nothing had happened. Yesterday
was the first time they had met since,
nna Mr.. Dodge had been carrying the
rpg for four years expecting to run
across Killie every trip West. Mr.
Dodge goes to Denver tomorrow, aad
KilIie to New Orleans to attend the
Worlds Exposition

Extensive Robberies on the Lake shore
Road Finally Explained.
A Buffalo dispatch of the 10th saws
The Lake Shore railway has for long
time been missing large quantities of
goods and, though skilled detectives were
placed to work, no clue could be OBJ
tanned. The seals were broken between
here end Erie, and valuable property
taken, but the point could not be To-
Gated. The problem has Just been
solved by the arrest of two boys here
for robbery of farmer near Angola, of
$50 IN cash and $4,000 in promissory
notes. They acknowledged this crime
and were so frightened they told all
about the car robberies. About twenty
boys were in league at Angola, where
most of the thefts were committed.
One would mount car during the night
as the train was moving from the sta
ton, break the seal and enter. Boxes
and bales were thrown out and the con-
tents sent here, where they were dis
posed of by a woman, whose name is
not known. The boys under arrest,

A Kerosene DrunLard.

IFrom the Birmingham tila.) 'ge.l
Yesterday morning, as an Age repor-
ter was passing J. t. Bailey's grocery
store, on Twentieth Street, one of the
clerks stopped him and said: There is
a human curiosity in the rear of the
store. Step in and see it," The repor-
ter went in and saw man in the act of
drinking a cupful of kerosene oil. He
had entered the store and purchased
gallon of the oil, and then asked for a
cup, which he filed and hastily drank.
This surprised Mr.. Bailey, and he ques-
toned him about the matter. When
the reporter entered the recital was fin
ished, and the talker was taking anoth-
er drink of the oil. The mans story was
told the reporter by Mr.. Bailey, and was
as follows:
"My name is George Eggleston. 1
was born in Mobile County, Alabama,
in August, 1912. When quite 3 boy l
suffered great deal with tonsilitis and
other diseases of the throat. Kerosene
oil wRs recommended as a cure. As
long as Itook the oil l was apparently
well. And so continued to take it for
number of years. The first time that
/ knew that was the victim of an al
most incurable habit was when / was
sent off to a boarding school. After
three days at the place felt as if there
was something wanting. l became
restless, lost my appetite, and could
not sleep. L saw servant filling a
lamp, and all at once a terrible thirst
for drink of the oil took possession of
me, and at once obtained it, and that
night l slept soundly. That settled
me. Since that night have taken my
dose of kerosene oil as regularly as a
drunkard drinks his whisky, and L
can't DO without it" Mr. Bailey asked
Mr.. EgRleston what he would do if he
was placed so he could not get oil. He
replied: Il would go crazy. 1 recollect
once of being in such predicament. /
started out on a hunt once, expecting
to be gone only one day, but was de-
tanned five days. | was all right until
the fourth night, when felt the thirst
on me. The next day suffered almost
death, and reaching home that night
drank pint of oil at one time This
was what Mr.. Egeleston told Mr.. Bailey.
He said to the Age reporter that the
habit he now considered an incurable
one, but caused him no inconvenience
whatever. He believed he was healthier
for the habit. Mr.. Eggleston lives
eleven miles north of Birmingham, and
is well known by number of our citi-
zens. The reporter, in speaking of the
case afterward, asked several physicians
what they thought the result would be if
G man was addicted to the habit of tax
ing large quantities of kerosene oil.
The reply every time was that it would
eventually kill. Mr.. Eggleston, how
ever, is as healthy a looking man as
one would wish to see, and. so fer as ap-
pearance goes, his queer taste has
caused him no inconvenience.

Poisoned By An Oyster-Shell.

FROM lne New 1OFk
Dan Kelleber was one of the best
known and most popular young Irish
politicians in lower New York. He was
a member Of the Tammany Hall gerer-
al committee, and was prominent in
several social and benevolent organiza-
tiOns. On January 5, he was opening
oysters In his restaurants at 179 Chatham
Street, and the ragged edge of a shell
made a slight scratch in the palm of his
hand. He thought nothing of the
wound until Friday, January 9, when
he came back from a wake and told his
wife that his arm "pained" him. The
next day his wrist and forearm were red
and swollen and he suffered considerable
pain. He remained in bed all day Sat
urday, intending to lie over and have a
good rest. On Monday he was so i'll
that DIR. Naughton was sent for, and on
Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock
he died, the cause of his death being
directly attributed to the scratch in
fioted by the oyster-shell. His symp-
toms were peculiar during his sickness
Being a healthy, hearty man, only 81
years old, no constitutional weakness
complicated his malady. The doctor
treated him for erysipelas, and he i'm
proved steadily until last Monday, when
suddenly unmistakable blood poisoning
setin, and he died in considerable pain
after the local cause of the trouble had al
most disappeared. Mr.. Kelleher leaves a
widow and three children. He was a
member of the Shamrock Council,
American Legion of Honor; st. Patrick s
Mutual Alliance, the Kerrymen's Asso-
citation, and other societies. He was for
a long time in the restaurant business
at the corner of Maiden Lane and South
Street, but recently had moved to Chat
ham Street.

ters both about year old, he had been
driven to this expedient to keep the
third alive. 1t may be presumed that
its success, as evidenced in his daugh-
ter's attainment of the military age"
will tend, at any rate among his
neighbors, to the revival of custom
which, whatever it's inconvenience, is
not without suggestive interest. Great
er men than Kano have laid schemes,
far deeper than his simple artifce, to
circumvent the grim visitor, and for
the most part they have failed.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Two Thonsand Krupp Guns Ordered by

Some excitement was created in Lon

receipt Of dispatches from Ber-
lin announcing that the Rus
sian government had ordered 2,000
Krupp guns for the purpose of strength

guns are to be of the largest pattern,
and are evidently intended for service

The Trade of Calcutta.
from the London Times.l

EErQTl the L0DUDD 1lLlesJ
The trade of Calcutta for the year
1SS3-4 amounted to the very considerable
value of S28,403, 1853 rupees, or nomi-
nally more than eS0,000,000 sterling.
This shows an increase in value in two
years of e8,0OO,0OO sterling, although
the bulk had only progressed at about
half the same rate. The cotton trade
was in q more favorable condition than
it had been in for some time, and
freights were so low at Calcutta as to
enable that port to compete on advan-
taoeous terms with Bombay. But
the dealings in cotton piece goods have
been unfavorable, as the great consum-
ing markets of China and Japan have
taken nothing like the quantities they
were expected TO absorb. Jute reports
are also unfavorable, and tea alone can be
termed highly satisfactory; bat there
again the competition of Ceylon tea is
likely to affect its prospects adversely.
EVERY year 126, 900, ,000wooden spoons
are turned out in Russia. The spoons
are made of birch and poplar, while
boxwood is used for the most expensive.
About 5000 cubic fgthoms of wood are
thus consumed and vast quantities are
sent to Central Asia,

from the United States for better quality pine,
of which the supply is light. "Only one
fourth of the cut, says that journal, lean

smaller percentage of the whole than in
former years. The inferior qualities yield
just about enough to pay expenses of cutting,
leaving u bare margin of profit. Trade on

increase before winter than otherwise" For
