The other day as county attorney
Smith was examining the new and ele-
CANT cathedral chairs purchased Tor the
Judges stand i'll the new court house, he
turned 10 Judge Severance and address
ed him with the query as to how the
happened to get such
chairs. The Judge could not tell unless
as he supposed the commissioners had
attended church somewhere and heard
about the Trinity. The coun-
" attorneys curiosity was somewhat
aroused TO find out what connection the
Trinity could possibly have with the de-
cision of the commissioners in deciding
20 purchase those high backed chairs.
But the Judge, who Is ever ready TO re-
ieve his auditor from ambiguous
10 him seemed eminently proper and in
good taste, as himself, Pau, and Bar
ley composed the Trinity. That re-
mark settled the whole question. The
action of the commissioners has been
fully vindlcated. The only question
now remaining unsettled in the minds
IF the public is which of the trio Is the
Holy Ghost.
MIR. T. c. McDermott returned this
from Missouri, bringing with
him his little boy whom he took there
'or treatment for the dog bite. The boy
was given the mad stone treatment and
is now much better and no disastrous
results are apprehended from the bite.
The gentleman who was consulted is the
possessor of three mad stones, and
while not physician himself, has quite
4 reputation for cures which he has
wrought. A new wound was made in
the arm two inches below the bite and
he stone applied thereto. The stone is
about three-quarters of an inch thick
and cone shaped, and is porous. The
pores were quickly filled with pus and
other impure matter that was drawn
from the new wound. The stone was
applied repeatedly for two days and
during that time drew out large
amount of impurities. The owner said
hat the fact that it chung so tenaceUusly
ed to the belief that there was poison
n the wound. The inflammation has
nearly subsidized and the swelling is
greatly reduced. The stone had IN i'm
mediate effect in increasing the lads
appetite. While in Iowa an eminent
physician of the old school was consult
sd and he gave a treatment which he
believes will stop any effects of poison,
{ any is present, of which he could not
De certain. The friends of the boy and
lis family will rejoice that the treat
nent proved SO effective and trust that
Nothing dangerous will come of the
wound.
