The Causes Of Death.


Our readers are doubtless all famil-
lar with the Robinson poisoning
cases, which have recently come to
lightin Somerville, Mass, q suburb
of Boston.
It seems that eight deaths have
occurred from arsenical poisoning,
seventh one family, and within five
years. It is doubtful it the murder
ers would have been brought to just
ice had notan organization in which
the victims were insured began an in
vestigation as to why so many per-
sons had suddenly died in one fam
lily.
But the sensation from a medical
point of view connected with the
case, took place in Boston at q re-
cent meeting of the Massachusetts
Medico-Legal Society, when it was
stated by DR.. Holt that there was
general ignorance of the symptoms
of arsenical poisoning and because
of such ignorance the Robinson
poisoning cases had gone on
without arousing the suspicion
of medical men. The Robinson
cases were all treated by reg
ular physicians, with correct diplo-
mas, men supposed toknow what they
were doctoringf for, and to know the ef-
feet of drugs on certain diseases. Yet
in the five deaths from arsenical poi
soning of which wespeak, certificates
of death were given for pneumonia,
typhoid fever, meningitis, bowel dis.
ease, and Bright's Disease.
Such a commentary onthe general
ignorance of the medical profession,
made by one of it's own number, we
believe to be without a parallel.
Is it any wonder that patients are
losing faith in their doctors? Here
were five able-bodied people slowly
poisoned with arsenic before their
very eyes; and yet these very wise
medical men were doctoring them
for pneumonia, typhoid fever, men,
ingetis, bowel disease. and Bright's
disease.
In the very same manner thousands
of patients are being treated this
day for pneumonia, heart trou-
BILE, dropsy, incipient consump-
ton, etc., when these are but symp.
toms of advanced kidney disease,
which is but another name for
Bright's disease. The doctors do
not strike at the seat of the disease
the kidneys, and if they did nine
times out of ten they would fail-as
they are on record as saying they
can not cure Bright's disease of the
kidneys. Rather than use Warmers
Safe Cure, a well-known specific fol
this and all other forms of kidney
disease they would let their patients
die, and then give a death certificate
that death was caused by pericardi
tbs, apoplexy, phthisic or cardiac at
lection.
Is this not the honest truth? Dc
you not know in your own persona
history very many instances where
physicians doctored the wrong dis
ease, and caused untold suffering
and many times. death? Which
leads us to remark that very much
can be learned by one's-self by care
full observation, and that the doc
tors are very far from having a mo
nopoly of the knowledge of medicine
or disease.

Cruelty to Sailors.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1s.-Since Monday night
the ship Solitaire has been ut the dock, after q
hard and stormy passage. Capt. F. r.. Some

Robbins have been looked for since the day
following her arrival by United States
deputy marshals. who have war IA nts for the ar

the murder of one seaman by being knocked

GONE IS THE GOLD.
Unaccountable Disappearance Of a
Bag of Gold From a Northern
Pacific Express Office.
Suicide in Chicago Of a Probable
Relative Of Walter, Editor Of
the London Times.

BRArEERD, Special Telegram, April 1S.-
This city was thrown into q state of excite
ment early this morning by the announce
inent that theN Northern Pacific express office
In this city had been robbed of S15, 900 in
god. Inquiry at the Office of the company
revealed the fact that a bag of gold contain
Ing $4,000 was missing, but Agent Ruess
hoped at that time that it might yet be
found. To-day ia pay day, and it is GUS
tonary to send up the night before sufficient
money to lay the employees. Last night the
First National bank at St. Paul shipped $751;
BOO In gold consigned TO the First National
bank in this city. The gold was in four
bags-two large ones containing $500
each and W smal ones containing 81, 900
and $500 respectively. The express mes
senger on the train delivered the four bags
to the night clerk here, Louis Holman, who,
according to his story, placed the bags on a
truck and wheeled them to the express
office and carried them in two at a time and
placed them in the vault. He is positive
That there were four bags, because he re-
member making two trips in placing the
money In the vaults, taking a bag in each
hand each trip. He then locked the vault
door, he says. and left the Office, locking the
office door after him. and was absent from
the office about half All hour attending to the
three passenger trains. On returning he
found the office locked and also the safe,
which be opened to put other articles 10.
STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
On opening the door he was Mortified to
find n of the bags containing $15, 600
missing. HE Immediately sent a messenger
to awaken Agent Ruess. Thinking there
might have been q mistake in the lumber of
bags delivered by the messenger on the train,
MI. Ruess telegraphed him at Wadena, and
was informed that there nae been four bags,
as stated by the clerk. Mr.. Ruess then tele-
graphcd to st. Paul, and learned that the
amount above-named had been sent. Sc it
must have been taken in some manner from
the safe in this Office, or it wus taken before
the clerk put the bags in the safe. This the
clerk denies, as he says he distinctly remem-
bers placing the four bags in the safe. The
disappearance of the money is mysterious,
indeed, and the company's officials claim
they have no clue. or no idea how it could
have been taken. Agent Ruess has the ut
most confidence in the night clerk, md says
he is confident that he is perfectly innocent
As q result Of the robbery only a part of the
company's employees could be paid to-day.

18Th inst. / have to state that il is not usual 70
answer hypothetical questions, but In view OF
the anomalous conditions affecting the public
lands in Oklahoma. I win state as follows, viz
First-A person desiring to become an actual
settler under the homestead law may initiate
his claim by entry at the district land office;
after properly selecting and examining the land
desired, in which case he is allowed six months
from date of entry within which to establish his
actual residence on the land, or.if he so elect. he
may. initiate his claim by actual settlement on
connecting himself with the particular tract
claimed, said act or acts to he equivalent to an
announcement Of his intention. and from
which the public generally may have notice OF
his claim. Thereafter, he Is allowed three
months within which to make his claim of rec
ord by entry at the district land office. Which of
these two methods should be chosen is a matter
for the party's election, according to the cir
cumstances and his own judgment Of which Is
most desirable.
Second and Third-Of two bona fde settlers
or claimants. the one whose settlement or entry
ls prior in time will have the superior right.
When the inception of the claims is simultane-
Is, at the same time precisely-the
legal right Is equal, and the question annot be
decided according to the equities, and the land
awarded to the party having the superior equi-
ties, II any: il none, then it has been the prac-
tice to put the land up between the claimants,
and to award the right of entry to the one bid
ding the highest for the privilege.
Fourth-Yhe act Of March 2. 1889 enacts that
until said lands are opened for settlement by
OF the president no person shall be
permitted to enter upon and occupy the same;
and any person violating this provision shall
never be permitted TO enter any of said lands or
acquire any right thereto. The presidents proc
Of March %, 1899, calls attention ex-
pressly to this provision and directs that 1t Le

arising to give an opinion as to what particular
act or acts will be considered a vindication Of
the law in this respect.

CUPD'S HARNESS.

PRIVATE DALZELL's ADVICE

A communication that was at
first taken for a Spring poem
drifted into this office yesterday.
1t wasn't a rhyme, but the words
were highly poetical. Private
Daizel's name was signed to the
letter, which is given in full below ::
The flowers We are gathering,
omrads, for the solemn service of
Decoration Day, 1889, will hardly
have withered or lost their fragrance
above the holy shrines where our
heroic comrades sleep, until we
shall lie down beside them. The
time is drawing near. The night
cometh. The three shots are al
ready loaded in the guns soon to
be fired over lnsensate clay. Pass
ing away, 20 10000, 900 of us,
annually, and in an accelerated
ratio as the years roll on. We can
not tarry much longer. Bid the
hungry and avaricious office-seeker

soon be out of their way! Soon
we shall all be mustered under the
sod. 1t cannot be long.

BETTER GO SLOW

Recently the Gazette published
an editorial note to the effect that
Judge Wells had not resigned from
the Board of Regents, and would
not do so until after the Supreme
Court had passed upon the consti-
nationality OF the law under which
he was appointed to the Board
1t now transpires that the Gazette
was in error, for it seems that the
Judge bad resigned as a Regent.
The article was copied in seveaal
papers of the State without any
thought of casting any reflection
upon either Judge Wells or Gov
erDor Stevenson, but on the con-
trary, it was more OF a kindness,
because a great many people were
casting reflections upon the Gov
ernor by saying that it took him a
good while to make the appoint
ment etc etc.
Now comes Judge Wells with a
threatening libel suit and the Gazette
very promptly replies that there is
no libel in it, and that a man so
ignorant of the law should not be
permitted to occupy seat on the
bench single day. "Crack your
whip, Judge, We are loaded for
you"
Judge Wells has no more idea of
bringing a libel suit against the
Gazette than Governor Stevenson
had of bringing one against the
Post OF San Francisco, FORTS attacks
on him last year.
The appointment of Judge Wells |
to the bench was the greatest |
mistake ever made by Governor |
Stevenson. In the first place.
Judge Wells IS not entitled to a
seat on the bench for any party
services, and in the second place,
his appointment is so glaringly
unconstitutional that the State
Controller cannot if he does Justice
to the constitution, issue a warrant
for his salery.
The reasons the Governor had
for hurrying Wells out OF his own
office and into a judicial, before
other lawy ers in the State were
to apply for the honor,
needs no comment here.
The idea OF libel suit, for the
statements made in the Gazette,
is to too ridiculous to be entertained
Tor moment.
