Captain Raymona,s .son

Inc following, from the "Casual
Listener department of the st. Paul
Pioneer-Press, undoubtedly refers to
Warren B. Raymond, whose early child
hood days were spent in Yankton:
/ am told that John B. Raymond, ir.,
son of the late delegate to congress,
John r. Raymond Of Dakota, is on his
death bed at Wahpeton. OAK. and is
being cared for by his young friends and
acquaintances. Young Raymond was a
perfect picture OF health, strong and
robust disappearance. and undoubtedly
might have lived for years. The best
physicians of st. Paul and Minneapolis
have been called in consultation, and all
unite in saying that deash must ensue
within a few days. The physicians are
also unanimous in the opinion that his
present condition is wholly caused from
cigarette smoking. From the Inhalation
of smoke his lungs have been entirely
destroyed. One of the physicians tells
me that cigarette smoking is more harm
full than all of the other forms of using
tobacco combined. He says he never
saw a case where death is more certain
to result from q single cause.

A Mackin sensation

st. Paul, Oct. "a local ape this
morning publishes q sensational story
to the effect that Emory Storrs, the emf
entChicago lawyer and politician was
poisoned with digitalis while at Ottawa,
Ill.,a year ago presenting before the
supreme court the case of Joseph o.
Mackin, the convicted ballot-box suffer
and p~erjurer. 1t is charged that the
poison was administered at the direction
of the gang whose secrets he had gained.
and says q partial confession has already
been obtained from n of the tools who
was instrumental in Mr.. Storr's assassI-
nasion, and that the man is now under
constant surveillance of detectives. The
article says: Had Mr.. Storrs, the
brilliant advocate, lived, it is probable
that Joseph @. Mackin would to-day
be q power in Chicago politics, instead
of q convict wearing the stripes of shame
and degradation at Joliet ~penitentiary.
But the gang leaders who dreaded
Maokin found means to close his mouth
and to make away with Storrs, who had
become q dangerous lawyer. he was
settled with digitaiis, not vu1garly and
in q hurry, but with all due regard for
appearances. The progress of the poison,
acting ON q frame enfeebled by hard work
and temporary excuses, was not slow.
Day after day in medical doses it found
Its way into liquor that brought tempo
rary strength to a worn out but deter
mined advocate, until it finally seized
on his vitals and killed him during the
night"

ONE of the most curIously original
collections of my books in any library
is said to be botanical collection at
Warsenstein, in Germany. At first
sight the volumes appear like rough
blocks of wood, but on clear examin-
alton it is found that each is a com.
plete history of the particular tree
which it represents. At the back OF
the tree the bark has been removed
from space large enough to admit
the scientific and the common name
of the tree as a title. One side is
formed of the split wood OF the tree,
showing It's grain and natural frac
ture; the other shows the wood when
worked smoth and vanished. One
end shows the grain as left by the saw
and the other the finely polished wood
On opening the book one finds the
fruits, seeds, leaves and other products
of the tree, the moss which usually
grows upon its trunk and the insects
which feed upon the various parts Of
the tree. To all this is added vel
printed description of the habits, usual
location and manner of growth of the
tree.

The United States Supreme Court
has decided that the.Iaw of Congress
authorizing the seizure of merchants
books in cases of frauds against the
revenue laws, is unconstitutional. The
law is in violation of the provision
of the constitution guaranteeing 'the
right of the people to be secure in
their persons, houses, papers and eff,
ects against unreasonable searches
and seizures" and also the provision
declaring that ''no person shall be
witpess against himself. "

ment of the revenue laws, the decision
will be welcomed as a new guaranty
of the personal liberty of the citizen.
