Two KINDS: OF MORALITY TIL

Two KINDS. OF MoRALIrY.-The
Shreveport Caucasian says: "Elbo-
gen, the procurer for Schoenhausen
& Co.'S concert and beer dives in New
Orleans, has been sentenced to a term
of five years and eleven months in
the New York State Penitentiary for
,enticing young girls from their homes
for immortal purposes. Perhaps Ell
bogen had no political influence in
New York. Schoenhausen & Co.;
still defy the authorities in New Or
leans and thus the, dives flourish in
all their glitter"
The Caucasian should not forget
that not single member of the last
Legislature whose name is borne on
the lottery troll of honor" voted
against the "recharter" of these dives
in New Orleans, and if they now
Flourish in all their glitter" that fact
is due to the kindly favor of men who
went into spasms of virtue at the mere
mention of a lottery ticket. - Baton

Concerning microbes of the stou

Concerning microbes of the stom-
ach, these conclusions were reached
by DR.. Kianouski The empty
stomach of healthy man contains in
Vulnerable organism. The gastric
juice, and principally the hydrochloric
acid, possesses microbicide properties
The microbes take no active part in
digestion. Persons who, on account
of some affections, secrete little hydro
ehloric acid, are easily intoxicated by
means of the micro organism in the
stomach. Therefore, the stomach
should not remain in an empty coudi
ton for any length of time, and during
an epidemic food should be taken al
quent intervals, and, ifpossible, steril

The Same Old Story.

During the progress of the In
dian murder trial in the Dirtrict
Court at this place the following
amoung the Piute tribe in regards
to the witchcraft was noticed by
reporter of the STEER State: One
old Indian on the stand claimed to
be a judge among his own peo-
pie, and testified that it has al
ways been law among his tribe
as far back as he can remember
whenever a witch appearea "a
their midst to put her to .de;,,G.
and he also said that his graz
father has told him that in years
gone by the Indians, like the
whites of the early days of this
country, burned supposed witches
at the stake. The evil one always
pretends to be a doctress and
when a certain number of her pa
tients die the regular doctor of
the tribe pronounces her a witch
and the friends of the deceased
fall upon her and beat her to death
with clubs OF mangle her with
axes sometimes they are stoned
to death. The case before the
Court is a witchcraft case and the
prisoners, two women and one
man, killed their victim in a most
brutal manner, using axes and
fairly cutting the supposed witch
to pieces. The prisoners claim
that they did not think they were
doing any harm and cannot uuder-
stand why they are kept in jail.
The Piutes are a very supers:i-
tious people and they imagine by
killing these witches that their
tribe will suffer no illness and
those that are i'll will get we'll and
happiness will reign among them.
