Influence of Drugs on the Heart
The temporary expansion and con.
traction of the heart under the in
fiuence Of certain drugs formed the
subject of paper read by Professo"
German See at the last meeting of
the Academy of Medicine, Paris.
The professor. in collaboration
with DR.. Pignol gave the following
summary: W Sparteine is the
substance which diminish most
promptly and effectually the
volume of the heart. This drug
strengthens the cardias muscles and
augments their vital force. ~ Digi-
tain also contracts the heart, but
only when its cavities are already in
state of dilstion. (3) Iodide of potas-
SUM tends to contract, but to a less
degree than sparteine. (4 Antipyrine
expands the volume but without in.
fuencing arterial pressure. (5) The
action of bromide of potassium NAV
be taken as the opposite of iodide OF
potassium, but as similar to antipyrin.
1t dilates the whole organ, the right
side being slightly more affected than
the left. Certain other drugs have nc
effective action. Caffeine, SAYS Prof
See, has no influence ON the cardiac
muscles, In spite of certain assertions
to the contrary.

Very Muchly Married.

New Orleans Times Democracy
The other night Henry D. Wilson,
of Philadelphia, went over to Camden
n. J. and was married by the Rev.
Mr.. Burrell to Mics Minnie Farrell.
Then he went before the Rev. Mr..
Finlaw, under the alias OF Arthur
Williams, and was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to Laura Joice.
On the following night, under the
name of Edward Martin. he bee me
the husband of Mary Lewis, the Rev.
Mr.. Van Horn performing the cere-
mony. An hour later as Charles
Mullen he took I'M to himselfas bride
Sarah Price before the Raw. Mr.. a
Morrell, and later in the evening he
became Samuel Mathews and was
married to Margaret Reed by the
Rev, Mr.. Sooy. This guintuple re-
cord in the role OF bridegroom
would have got him into trouble had
it not happened that the brides in
the case were all one and the same
person, like himself adopting aliases
1t appears, likewise, that the bride
groom was a reporter to the Phila-
delphia Press, sent over TO write up
the loose marriage ceremony in vogue
in New Jersey, where the clergymen
marry any body and everybody who
comes along for the usual fees.

WOUNDED KNEE CREEK, Neb., Dec.
and early were the troops
up Monday morning. At s o'clock they
were ordered to be in readiness to move.
At that hour the cavalry and dismounted
troops were massed about the Indian
village, the Hotchkiss guns overlooking
the camp not fifty yards away. COL
Forsythe ordered all the Indians
to come forward away from the tents.
They came and sat in half circle until
counted. The dismouuted troops, Com

B, Capt. Varnum, were then thrown
around them. -
Ordered to Give Up Their Guns.
By twenties they were ordered to give
up their arms. The first twenty went

within twenty feet of the Indians, now
their center. When this was done, q
detachment of cavalry afoot was sent to
search the tepees. About sixty guns
were found, but while this work was
going on the warriors held an incanta-

been gone through, an order was given

Two Strikes Band Makes an Ineffectual
Attempt to Capture . Supply Train.
OMAHA, Dec. 30.-The Bees special
from Rushville, Neb., says that advices
from the seat Of war give the news Of
another encounter between the troops
and Indians at point within four miles
of the agency.
The Seventh and Ninth cavalry were
just coming in from Mondays battle
field, followed at some distance by their
provision train. On reaching the point
named large band of Indians, headed
by Two Strike, dashed suddenly upon
the train, captured it and were making
off toward the Bad Lands when the
cavalry wheeled and gave pursuit.
More Measuring for Settlers.
In the battle which followed over
thirty Indians were wounded, but no
soldiers were killed. According to the
latest reports Two Strikes Indians had
been considered peaceabls and subdued,
but their sudden change of mind causes
the gravest fears here that perhaps none
Of the so-called friendlies can be relied
on. However, word from Gen. Brooke
to the settlers is somewhat reassuring,
it being that great body OF the sayeges
have! remained loyal all the while, and
that nearly all the rebels are dead. He
further says the settlers here are not
now in danger.
: Col. Henry Has TOO.
Reliable news is also at hand that
Col. Henry is Eow approaching the

all the remnant of the rebels ON the resi-

of about $50 Indians and twenty-five or
thirty soldiers killed and wounded to
effect this result, if, indeed, it may be
said that peace is yet established. i

THE SAGE A WINNER.

Ignatius Donnslly Elected President Of
the Minnesota Farmers Alliance,
ST.. PAUL, Dec. S0.-The committee on
credentials in the farmers convention
took nearly all day to do their work,
not being ready to report until the even
ing session. The afternoon session was
occupied by speeches by Mr.. Ashley, of
Iowa, lecturer of the National Farmers
Alliance; Il. L. Loucks, of South Da-
kota, president of the Alliance Of that
state and late candidate for governor on
the Independent ticket; Mr.. Donnelly
and Miss Eva Med Donald.
The committee report, when it was
finally presented, gave seats to 693 dele
gates. The next matter in order was
the reports of officers, but it was moved
to suspend the order and proceed to the
election of president. The anti-Don-
nelly men wanted more time to encom-
pass his defeat. A viva voce vote was
not conclusive, and call oil che coup-
ties was taken, which resulted in vote
of 407 to 216 in favor of proceeding to
dispose of the presidency.
Messrs Donnelly and Halverson were
placed in nomination, and the roll call
that followed showed how completely
the Donnelly spirit predominated, The
ballot gave him 542 votes to 105 for Hall
uerson, 6 for Hall and for Owen. Mr.,
Donnelly made short speech of accept
ance and the convention adjourned for
the day.

The St. Paul Chamber of Commerce
Working for an Adjustment of Grants.
ST.. PAUL, Dec. 29.-The st. Paul
chamber of commerce is determined to
follow up its plan of securing an adjust
ment of the railroad land grants of the
state, so that people may know what
lands are open for settlement and what
are not. 1t is claimed that in Minnesota
there are about 90. 100000 acres of good
unoccupied farm lands, much or all of
which might be turned over to actual
settlers as soon as the grants to railroad
companies are cleared up and a syste-
matte immigration movement by the
state is put under way. This matter is
now before the St. Paul chamber Of
commerce, and that body will undoubt-
eddy make strong efforts to put matters
in such shape that an immigration
movement can be made in Minnesota,
by a legislative enactment requiring
railroad companies to complete their
land selections, and thus enable the
state co make the right kind of start
to bring in settlers for the remaining
unoccupied lands.

Couriers from the Bad Lands have ar

morning on Porcupine creek between
the United States troops and the hos

Seventh cavalry, was killed. Lieut..

Shot in both arms. Several soldiers and

supposed. First reports represented
that the crew, which consisted OF sew
eral European officers and about sixty
native deck hands, were supposed to
have been either burned to death or
drowned while endeayoring to escape
the flames. 1t now appears that
Over 600 Lost Their Lives,
and that they were all drowned. Panic
seized upon the Chinese passengers and
crew the moment the FIRE alarm was
sounded, and became terrible as soon as
1t was seen that the fire was beyond
control. The European officers seem to
have kept their heads and exerted their
utmost to restrain the totally democrat
lied Mongolians. Some of the boats
were lowered, but were at once over
crowded by the Chinese mob, and sank
with all on board. There is a faint
hope that later investigation may show
the catastrophe to be less serious than
appears from the latest China adviees.
