TOLD FROM BEHIND THE BARS.

Dispenser OF Drinks Says He Also Is Re-
quired to BE Doctor and Druggist
Gimme about five grains of quinine
in couple of ounces of whisky"
Have you prescription, sir?"
NAV"
"Then we can't sell it to you. Very
sorry. Good day, sir"
Il am suffering a good deal from a
complaint which think was brought on
by using bad drinking water. / want
something to stop the pain, either a
quarter of grain of morphine or q dose
of camphor and chloroform."
Have you prescription !
"No, sir"
"Then you'll have to see doctor.
We can't dispense poisons save under
medical orders"
These are samples of conversations
which take place many times in a day
In any large downtown drug store, says
the Chicago Herald, and they indicate
the closeness with which the law re-
garding the sale of liquors or poisons
is observed. In fact, the man with a
pain in his stomach, dizziness in his
head, a general feeling of "goneness,"
or any temporary disorder of his sys-
tenn which hardly iustifes him in plac-
ing his case before a physician, but
which demands some trifing remedy, is
no longer patron ofpharmacy, because
at that place he can't be accommodated.
Instead he must go to a saloon.
YES" said well-known dispenser of
drinks, "we do a large trade of semi
medical nature. A man who calls for
whisky and quinine is entitled for his
Is cents to the usual amount of liquor
and from two to eight grains of the
drug, either in sulphate or pilular form.
We probably use $12 worth of quinine
a week, besides several bottles Of qui-
nine bitters. Then, often some one
comes in all battered up by a spree.
According to his choice, or our judg-
ment, we brace him up with lauda-
mum cocktail, bromide of potassium, or
chloral. If a fellow has the cramps
here Is chlorodyne ready at hand, or if
he has caught cold and feels rheumatic
We furnish him with a salicylic acid pill
of from two to five grains with his toddy.
To tell you the truth, if this business
keeps on in the way it has taken of late
years it won't be long before bar
tender ought to be obliged to pass an
examination before the State Board of
Pharmacy. Talk about whisky being
poison to the human systeml Why, its
effects aren't wSFkfero asaf ofe Reshac id ts
Herewith. Still the demand has grown
to such proportions that L might safely
say one-third the profits of prosperous
saloon came from the knowledge of peo-
pie that it has semi-drug store at
tachment."
"How about absinthe? 2"
There's not much of a call for it.
Sometimes a man envelopes an ab-
Sinthe frappe and thinks he's done
something real desperate, but the same
person may absorb three or four lauda-
mum cocktails every day and look upon
that feat simply as matter of course"

The TyDeSetter.

The typesetting machine has come to
stay, and good many fear that the
days of the typo are numbered. 1t is
not so. The typo was here first, and
will remain until the final blast upon
the bugle horn of Gabriel resounds
over hill and dale-until the heavens
are rolled up like Il scroll of spring
poetry. The typesetting machine may
do much. 1t may let the types drop
out of their boxes or puddle around in
molten metal, but there are things
which it cannot do. 1t cannot put on

eye in search of fat take; it cannot
hug the fat-rack like brother and

graph editor or believe that the proof
reader is ineal descendant of old
Mephisto; it cannot vote solidly against
the paper it works for or punctuate

it cannot grubstake dismantled fellow,
nor fit foot-sore pilgrim for the night,
it cannot grow brain weary or paint the
Office blue when it catches galley

midnight orgie over it, or eliminate
the photographic bone-spavin from q
sentence, giving it elasticity; it cannot
immortalize a man by ignoring what he
did write and setting what he should
have written; it cannot sing church
music evenings while throwing in type,
or believe its dupes draw themselves up
when being measured; it cannot, when
the ghost walks on Monday and the
lunch man is paid, go forth hitting the
ground in high places, to carminate the

PARNELL SPEAKS.

Mr. Parnell desired to say few words.
1t was vain to deny that he approached tne
commission with a ranking sense or ln1us-
tice. He did not object to the principle OF
the commission in its inception, and Woulo
not have complained of the extension OF lts
scope to a political organization IF aLaas a IaaI
hearing and notice of the charges
against them had been secured.
But that was not the cass;
They We're approaching an inquiry shaped
by superior force by the party opposite
without chance of stating their views with
the fulness which the gravity or the case
required There were men now In London
who, he believed, if placed in the witness
box, would be forced to admit that they
were guilty of forgery.
REFUsALs TO HOLD THEM.
Amendments to secure the attendance OF
these persons, and insure their punishment
if they fled to escape the jurisdiction of the
commission, were excluded. What
would the forgers care for the
action of the government II
by stopping across the channel during the
inquiry they could draw an impenetrahle
veil Over the origin of the letters! The
Irish members were entitled to such hear
ing as parliament had never yet denied to
individuals, especially when they con-
sented to an unconstitutional inquiry.
He believed his friends would come out
of the scrutiny untarnished and triumph
ant, but ma jority of the members would
have tarnished the traditions of the house
by refusing Irish members the right of as
sisting in the shaping che most important
figure ever devised for obtaining Judgment
upon men upon whom the interests OF the
nation which they represented were abso-
lutely dependent. [Cheers]
HEALEY's AMENDMENT DEFEATED.
Mr.. Healy's amendment was defeated by
vote of 2S3 to POI.
The Parnellites having left the house, the
chairman put the remaining clauses, which
were carried without division.
The report stage of the commission bill
was fixed for Monday night.
o'sHEA's LETTER.
The Parnelites consider that Mr.. O'Shea,
in writing to the Times about the meeting
between Messrs Chamberlain and Parnell
after thu Phoenix park murders, performed
purely gratuitous act. 1t is well known
that GOODNESS has existed between Messrs.
O'Shea and Parnell for some time past.

STEVENS COUNTY WAR.
The Dead Sheriff and His Deputies
Shot Without Warning.

ouOL WlthO0b w al ming
CHICAGO, Aug. "A dispatch from
Topeka, Kan, says: "Attorney General
Bradford returned last night from Stevens
county, where he went to investigate the
massacre of Sheriff Cross and his five
deputies. He examined large num-
Der of people in different towns
and all tho eye witnesses of the
that Cross and his party arrived at their
camp tired and worn out, that they asked
permission of the haymakers to lie down
and rest, and that they were sleeping and
apprehending no danger when they were
suddenly surrounded by Robinson and his
men and shot down without having any
chance to defend themselves.
DIED WITHOUT FIRING.
Three of the witnesses say that not one
shot was fired by Sheriff Cross or any one
of his men. Gen. Bradford has gathered a
large amount of testimony which he will
submit to the governor. Gen, Myers found
that no troops were needed, and so the
mission of the two officers is ended for the
present
EVERYBODY IN ARMS.
Business Is reported to be at stand still
at Hugotown and Woodsdale. Everybody
is armed and ready for an attack and wait
ing to hear from Gov. Morton The gov
ernor has appointed new sheriff for
Stevens county in place OF the one killed,
and both towns have submitted "a name
from their respective places to Gen. Brad
ford, but it is not likely that either one will
be appointed, as that will not facilitate
peace. Robinson, who shot the ive men,
is reported as taking things coolly."

tudes that any great committee ever took
REGULAR ToADYIsM.
''It is regular toadyism to British power.
/ do not think that record of that sort
was ever made before and | challenge the
majority members cf the committee on
foreign relations to explain why they put
that address to the British crown at the
conclusion of this report. l will read it:
The committee cannot but hope that if these
i'll advised negotiations, which as is known
to all the world cannot properly commit
the United States in any degree until they
shall have received the constitutional
assent of the senate, shall fail to meet the
approval of this body, her majestys
government will take measures to secure
justice and fair treatment in her
North American dominions to American
vessels and that the government will see
the justice and propriety of according to
American vessels engaged in the business
of fishing all the commercial rights and
facilities in her North American ports that
are so freely and cheerfully accorded to
her own III the ports of the United States,
and that thus the friendship and good feel
ing which ought to exist between neighbor-
ing nations may be finally established and
secured. And that is signed by Messrs
Sherman, Edmunds, Frye, Evarts and
Dolph."
MR.. EvARTs' LAME EXCUSE.
Mr.. Evarts suggested that such a state
ment was a proper one on the part of
great nation.
Mr.. Morgan-The difficulty is that five
senators are not a great nation. so far
from being great nation they are merely
five senators.
Mr.. Evarts-It was expressed in the
name of the American people.
Mr.. Morgan-What right had you to do
it, and do you five senators represent the
whole people in the matter of dip lomacya
The constitution gives you no such right.
1t is an arrogant act of pre-
sumptuous impertinence, That is all.
Mr.. Evarts-I only object to your read
ing the text and calling it a petition.
Mr.. Morgan-What else is its will read
it again "fhe committee cannot but hope"
They might just as we'll have said Pray"
that is what it means. | denounce it as
arrogant presumption. The committee on
military affairs or the postofiice committee
had just the same right TO make
that argument to Great Britain as
the committee on foreign relations
had. The constitution of the United State e5
fixes our functions here, and so far as we
are concerned with this treaty, we have
nothing to do with it except to ratity it,
amend 1t, or reject it.
Mr.. Teller obtained the floor, and the
senate resumed legislative business.
After the passage of few unimportant
bills on the calendar and brief executive
session, the senate adjourned.

ling from wound in her head and the re.
volver stoutly clasped in her hand.
A QUARREL THE CAUSE.
DeKnight was In street attire, but the
woman was en- deshdbiUe. 1t is supposed
that they quarreled, and that DeKnght

shot. Both moved in good society. The
girl was the daughter of furniture dealer,
and in Johnstown has always borne a good
reputation. She was quite handsome, and
about 20 years Of age. DeKnight was a
Pullman car conductor, and lived with his
parents In Lawrence. He was about "a

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. "A special
says the news about the Standing Rock
conference to-day is rather contradictory.
The regular correspondent of the agency
says Yesterdays council lasted over four
hours, but nothing was accomplished. The
Indians refused to sign.
Speeches were made by Gall Mad Bear,
Sitting Bull and other chiefs. Sitting Bull
said he was opposed TO the treaty, and as
many Of the Indians had crops to look afGer
there was no use of keeping them in council
longer.
CALLS DECISION.
Gait said he never would sign either
paper, and this was final. After making
this declaration he went up and shook hands
with each commissioner as evidences of his
friendliness to the whites. He simply
opposes the treaty and says he
does not believe the great father
will be very much displeased. The Indians
have no land left compared to the vast pos
sessions of their forefathers, and he could
not see why the government wanted to take
half they had left. when there was so much
vacant land else ewhere.
