DREADFUL CALAMITY
5000 People Killed and l5,-
600 Wounded, Many
Mortally.
Hundreds ofthe Wounded Not
Expected to Live.

DETROIT, Dec. 20.-[Speclal. When
the State Medical Society met IN Grand
Rapids last summer the then president,
in his retiring speech. stated that 1t had
been estimated that the members OF
that society had saved the lives of ii :
COO annually. See his advertisement
III the newspaper reports.
But IT had also been estimated that
they had killed 5000 outright and
dreadfully injured $1,000 more, so that
they are now suffering with chronic
diseases by the use of their hyperder-
mlnistering Morphine, Choral, Cocain
and other well-known active poisons.
A physician approaching the bedside
OF sick man or woman with hyper
dermlc syringe IN his hand is more dan
gerous than rattlesnake cOiled ready
to spring. because, being on your feet,
you can jump aside and avoid the rat

Is perfectly helpless before the physi-
clan, and must take the fatal dose; or
the physician is more dangerous than
an Indian with rifle, because the In
dian might not hit you with his bullet,
or he might change his mind, but the
physician never; he has been educated
TO believe that he must stop your pain
Immediately, even If 1T takes your life.
and stop that pain he will, whatever
the consequences. In this way, If you
are not killed immediately, and many
are, you are, by the use of these pow
erful nervInes, lulled to a certain death
with false hope.
This false hope is INDUCED in by
other members of the family. The sick
man is unable to express his opinion
while he is under the influence of the
drug and may never come out of it.
1t is extremely difficult 70 learn the
number killed in this way, as these
causes of death are not reported to the
Board of Health.
The case is frequently spoken Of in
this way: "The man became uncon
scious and remained so until he died.

A corr espondent of the Little
Rock Gazette, writing from Helena,
tells the following incident of the
overflow:
John r. Mcclure, of Modoc
Landing. some forty miles below
this city, tells the following story
for the truth of which he vouches;
During the high water Mr.. Mcclure
has been cutting down green trees
and feeding his COWS on the twigs of
the same. Sometimes 1t was difficult
to keep the famshed creatures away
until the trees would fall. A day or
two ago there came a sharp clap of
thunder, the sound of which was
very much like the falling of a tree
in the water, Every COW at once
started FOR the location of the sup"
posed tree and Mcclure declares
that If three or feur successive claps
had followed he verify believes that
he would have lost every COW he had.
Sheriff Pillow, to whom he told this
story, laughed at it, and pronounced
it a very salty story, whereupon Mr..
Mcclure offered to prove it by every
man on his place"

When Clayton was assaSsinated,
Notwithstanding the crime was chars
ged to the Democracy, Democratic
Legislature passed a special bill auth
orizing a Democratic governor to
offer S., 900 reward for the assassins.
In addition to this, private democrats
subscribed almost Slo,ooo and plac>
ed it at the disposal Of the governor
and Clayton'S friends. While Pow
ell Clayton was governor, Gen.
Hindman was assasSinated at Helena,
under exactly or nearly the same Cir
cumstances as was John Nj. Clayton.
No reward was offered for Hind
mans assassins until nearly three
years had elapsed, at which times
republican was assassinated in the
same district and only until then
was reward of $1,000 each offered
for the assasslns. No congressional
committee was appointed to inves-
tlgate Hindman's case, no great
hubbub was raised in congress abont
it. Powell Clayton was king of
Arkansas in those days and his subs
iects feared HIM much. So there
was not much SAID or done about
the Hindman matter by the demo-
Gratis. An idle word in those DAYS
endangered ones life, and at any
time the one who thoughtlessly often,
ded the king might have been dragg>
ed from his home by Clayton'S negro
militia and shot. The day belongs to
the democracy now. Clayton nor no
other republican can rule Arkansas
again. Congressional sub>commit-
tees may investigate, such disgraces
to humanity as Poker Jack Mcclure
may lie and misrepresent, the Arkan-
sas State Register may defame, but

will never again control Arkansas

OUTSIDE Of public service, Col.
w. NJ. Fishback is the brainieSt
man in Arkansas. We don't
mean by this that all men in
public service are his intellectu-
al equals; nor do we measure
their intelligence by the pOsiti-
ons held, for if this plan be fol-
lowed we fear that the last man
would be found somewhere near
the insane asylum. This, aside
from the patriotic course pursu-
ed by him this year makes him
the most available man for gov
ernor in 1892. In this position
he would be an honor to the
state and render its people bet,
ter service than any one we know
of.-Clarendon Sun.
