Is NOT THIS THE CASE?

Day before yesterday we demon.
strated that the greatest amount of
county money spent in this town the
past year could not have exceeded
$27,500 Of which not over one fifth
could DO "net" profit. But even this
estimate must be reduced, as the
$4,000 referred to is all there was
TO pay official salaries and current
expenses 10 the 4Oodd precincts of
the county. 1t could not, therefore,
have been spent in HALEY. OF the
amount stated $4,000 went to pay the
.Sheriff's salary, for instance. AS that
official is called away from HALEY at
least onehalf OF the time it is more
than likely that one-half of his sal.
airy is spent on the outside. So with
the remainder of the S27,50O.
The more we examine into the
matter the more we are convinced in
the opinion we have always enter.

Poisoned bY the Elixir.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Last Wednes
day week DR.. Hamilton A. Leach, OF this
city, injected twenty drops Of the Brown
Sequard elixir, prepared according to
formula, into the left arm OF Hugh
Myers, a man in poor health, about
fifty years old. No results were
observed until Friday morning,
when he complained of chills and fever.
This developed, his attending physician
says, into typhoid fever and caused his
death last night. Some Of Myers rela-
tions and neighbors think he would still
be alive had he not taken the elixir. A
coroner's inquest and post mortem exam
ination will probably be held to determine
the primary cause of death.
