The Dangerous Cigarette.

The Wilmington on. CO. Messenger
tells OF a sad death caused directly
from cigarette smoking. 1t says:
Two years ago he was q bright strong
lad. but the persistent inhalation of
cigarette smoke ruined his health,
affected his lungs to remarkable
degree and gave him consumption.
Professor j. NJ. Lofn, the athlete
and trainer, said to a. reporter:
"Think for q moment. There are
five ingredients in every cigarette,
each one of which is calculated to
destroy human life. First, there is
the nicotine or the oil of tobacco;
next, the oil in the imported paper,
Which is nearly as destructive; third.
the arsenic introduced to make the
paper burn white and add a peculiar
flavor; fourth, the saltpeter put in
the tobacco to prevent it FROM mold
ing and finally the opium that is
sprayed on the tobacco to give it the
insidious influence which it possesses
over the brain. Can you wonder
that the animal life OF a young nun
is killed by such n mixture? In the

A Woman Like no Other.

Montana has at last made some
thing new under the sun. 1t is q
woman Attorney General yonng
woman, and a pretty one at that.
The Populists. who have done SO
many queer things, hayesthis pecu-
liar political freak also to their
credit.
And yet there Is little doubt Miss
Ella L. Knowles. who has been elect
cd to cffice, will make an excellent
Attorney General. She is full of
brains. dauntless, self-eonfident and
plncky.
Miss Ella L.. Knowles was born
twenty eight years ago in North
wood, N Fl. She is graduate Of
Pates's College, at Lewiston, Me-,
and has taken the decree of Master
of Arts from that institution. Her
legal studies were prosecuted in
Manchester. N. H., and later in
Helena, Mon. There was consider
able prejudice against allowing her
practice.
So the plucky young woman went
to work to influence the Legislature
it was the Territorial Legislature Of
1885, S9-to pass q bill admitting WO-
men to practice law. Western chiv-
airy could not Withstand her, ard the
bill was passed. In December, 1890,
she was admitted to the bar.
In appearance Miss Knowles is
more like a demure, young matron
than stern Portia. She is of me-
dunn height. neither thin nor stout.
has face which, while strong and
firm, is also pretty. She believes in
her right to practice law and to be
paid for her legal services, and she
believedin her right lobe Attorney
General of Montana if she could get
enough votes. The Peoples party
liked her spirit. and when it came to
make up a ticket last July it gave
her the nomination..
She conducted spirited campaign
and all the credit of her victory be-
longs to herself.

principles, if its constituents would rally in its
support.
