"fOr Medicinal PURPOSES"

One OF the strongholds Of %intemperance
is the use of intoxicating drinks medicin-
ally. Many first acquire an appetite for
drink in this way, and many more who
have acquired the appetite ard overcome il,
have the old passion awakened through the
medicinal use of wine or brandy. Further
than this, the sale Of liquors for medicin-
al purposes" is one of the greatest STUN
bling blocks in the way of making prohibit
ton effective. 1t is constantly stated by
anti-prohibition papers, that where saloons
are prohibited sickness wonderfully in
~creases, ard the amount of liquor required
for purely medicinal purposes becomes
astonishing.
Another evil attendant on the popular
idea that alcohol is necessary as a medicine,
is that many people are thus led into con-
tinual "%nip-taking" for their stomachs'
sake, until their stomachs get into such a
the nip"
Now we are not going to advocate amy
wild or revolutionary measures, but simply
to suggest to those who deplore the evils
resulting from the use OF intoxicating drinks.
that they strive to discourage the use OF
liquor for medicinal purposes" Many
who have heretofore supposed wine OF
brandy to be the one great, universal rem
edy in all cases, will be surprised to learn
by experiment how well they can get along
without it. Some OF the ablest mcdicaI
men in the world have put alcohol entirely
out of their materia mediea. and find that
their practice is as successful as before. In
London there is a hospital where alcohol il
never used, under any circumstances Very
timidly was the experiment undertaken
Many were the opinions expressed that il
would be a failure. Some persons even
proposed TO have the plan forbidden By Law
as m~urderOus-but the experiment lla'
succeeded; the patients live and do well,
and the percentage of deaths has been less
than in other hospitals in which the old
stimulating methods have been used. Nea

SOME INEXPENSIVE PRESENTS.
What the Exercise of n Little 1nge.
nuity Will Do in Making
Christmas Gifts.

The holiday season is one OF genera
festivities. and an occasion when every
body-rich and poor, high and low, saln
and sinner-will lay aside the cares ant
sorrows of life and engage in time o
merry-making. Besides trying to create
happiness for ones self, nearly everybody
makes an effort to cheer the heart oil
another. Caste is laid aside and people
Of the upper circles enter the homes and
walks of life of the lowly and poor; even
the prisoners, wretched, hardened with
sin, are made to feel that, though de-
| prived of their liberty, they are not en-
tirely forsaken and despised.
To those who 60 on missions of charity
to the poor and helpless, suitable gifts
will readily be suggested, but their are
scores OF people puzzled to their wits end
to decide upon what they shall select as
an appropriate gift for acceptance. In
as much as there are many people so
puzzled, the DEMOCRAT suggests that it is
not necessary that gifts be expensive; as
the fact OF being remembered is q pleas
ure and is the important point to be taken
into consideration A pair of embroidered
suspenders is pretty and appropriate for
gentleman. Buy two yards of satin rib
bon little more than an inch wide, and
two yards of another color little wider.
The narrow is used for the right side, the
wide for the lining If you have pair
of old suspenders, just cover them, or
put Canton flannel between the ribbons;
bring the lining over the right side like
binding. Gilt buckles and ends to attach
to the suspenders can be bought readily.
A vine through the centre of the sus-
penders can be embroidered, but simple
stitching is very pretty.
Another inexpensive present is a collar
and cuff box. This is made by first get
ting pasteboard box, and then exercis-
ing a little ingenuity in covering it. One
way is by using several kinds of material
of different colors The ends of the box
may be covered with velvet and the sides
with silk, joined by feather or catch
stitch. Some other material, with the
initials of the receiver embroidered there
on, will make pretty cover
A card case is made as follows: Take |
two stiff cards, the size of the desired
case, cover neatly with silk or ribbon,
and then sew them together so that they
will easily open and shut. Another piece
Of card, half the width of the case,
should be covered and sewed to one side, |
thus forming a pocket in which to place
he cards. A spray of flowers or mono
gram worked on the outside would add
much to its value and appearance.
These and numerous other little de-
7ices may be hit upon for holiday pres
nts, and will be cherished longer
because of being the handy-work of the
Ionor.
In the matter OF books, select always
he best, and they should be in good sub
tantiai binding. Be sure, above all
resents, not to offer an inferior or shoddy
dition; nothing is more inappropriate
ian cheap trashy book, Select the
cry best your means will allow.

Not Stuck on the County Jail.

Yesterday afternoon the county tailor
detected futile attempt made by Frank
Mitchell, John Walters and Thomas
Seaman to escape from a cell in the
southeast corner of the jail. The three
men are in custody awaiting the action of
the Grand Jury. Becoming dissatisfied
with their close quarters they dug
hole three feet in diameter through
the wall OF the cell, when they came up
against the wall of the vault, through
which they drilled a small hole and
abandoned all hopes of escape. A pen
knife, sixteen-penny nail and short
piece OF a broken broom handle consti-
tuted the stock of tools used in their en-
beavers to escape. They were put in
irons as punishment, and pending trial
they VIII have the companionship Of
thirty-pound weight to carry about with
them.

The Grand jury in Cont.

AT half-past 8 o'clock this afternoon the
Grand Jury came into court, and Assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney Mckay stated
to the Court that there remained certain
matters pertaining to the report of the
Grand Jury to which he desired to call
attention. In reference to the foreman's
report it was suggested that the Court set
out those cases by number which have
neen examined and ignored, so that
in the event the defendan, was
again brought up on the same
offense the ignored case would be
indicated and dropped accordingly. The
statute providing that when case is TO-
lnored by the Grand Jury it CAM ot be
brought up again unless reconsidered bv
the Court, was read and the Jury were
to retire to their secret abode
and al prepare report of all parties held

nored, as suggested by the prosecution.

TOOK In A WHOLE TRAIN.
John Smiths Daring Robbery.
From the Pen to the Asylum.

The notorious John Smith, arrested and
placed in the penitentiary two years ago
for holding up an entire Utah & Northern
freight train in Cache Valley, has worked
the insanity act most successfully and
been adjudged non compos nentis by the
jury of the First District Court at Ogden.
This morning Smith was taken to the
Territorial Insane Asylum at Provo, on
the Rio Grande II o'clock train, and
those best acquainted with him say that
he is sure to regain his lost reasoning as
soon as placed in good comfortable quar-
tiers out of the sight of prosecuting at
torney and a scrutinizing jury.
At the Penitentiary Smith made sew
eral attempts to run the whole institu-
ton, and so far succeeded in his deter.
mination that it became necessary on one
occasion to use the united strength of
four guards to subject him. He is pro-
nounced the most dangerous prisoner the
authorities at the Penitentiary have had
anything to do with. On one occasion he
feigned fit of insanity and started in as
though to annihilate the whole museum.
The guards had nothing but guns to con-
troll him with, and he cared no
more for the muzzle of a seven
shooter than as though it had been a !
dinner horn. The guards were then pro-
vided with officers clubs, at the sight of |
which he at once came to time and gave
them no more alarm.
The circumstances attending the daring
robbery are in brief as follows: Two wears
ago Smith, who is powerful young man,
Is years of age, got aboard the Utah &
Northern freight along with several other
passengers to points in Cache Valley.
Shortly after leaving one of the small
stations he flashed, a revolver in the
faces of those occupying the car,
with an order to be quiet. Be-
ginning with the first scared mortal
on the end of one of the long side-seats
Of the coach he very coolly rifed every
pocket and Invested each one of what he
ancied needed appropriating. The train
hands were treated likewise, and Smith,
oaded down with his plumber, then
withdrew. The robbery partook of the
laring of "Burton' or New Mexico
Kid and was the work of dangerous
man,

Palmer to discount Donnelly for $50 a

referee and Palmer were talked out OF 1t

it was put-up job, and Palmer forgot

No We Don't

In the. way of talent to run his case
through, however, he will in all probability
come out at the small end of the horn.-
SALT LAKE DEMOCRAT.
Yes, but if Editor Hemenway could have
had the best lawyers in America, it would
have made no difference in his case. The
open venire system, run by hostile deputy
marshals, IS more potent than all the legal
talent on earth. The DEMOCRAT naturally
desires to deprecate the editor of the Ogden
Herald and urge on the tyrants. Ogden
Herald.
Very true that the best lawyers on
earth could not have helped this man.
We trust that his punishment will be all
that the law allows, by a fine of 81 900.
or imprisonment in the county jail for.
one year. The Court owes it to the COM
munity to Jail him.
