Yes there are many Of them
Some very good, some bad.
Bad drugs are poisonous
Also of no value whatever.
Pure drugs great helps,
And these alone should be
Used in compromising.
We claim to keep in stock
The purest drugs made
To compound them skilfully,
To prepare prescriptions quickly,
To charge for them reasonably
Who can do better than thiss

A BROTHERS CURSES.
HARRY HAYWARD'S FARE
WELL TO ADRY.
The Minneapolis Murderer Ponrs Out His
Wrath ON HIS Brother in 3 Most Un-
natural Manner Heaped
Upon Him.

MINNEAPoEIS, Mimi, Dee. 9.-Adry
Hayward visited his brother Harry,
who is under sentence to hang for the
murder OF Catherine Cling. The meet
ing between the brothers was ar
ranged by the parents, who beseeched
the condemned man to see Adry once
more before he died He remained
obstinate to their entreaties for long
tune, but finally yielded, and sent by
messengers a note reading: ''Dear
Adry:-I want you to come at once to
the jail, as wish particularly to see
you. I have no other object than the
desire to ask your forgiveness for any
wrong, either real or imaginary, may
have done you. / want once more to
see you on this earth. This is the wish
and dying request of your brother.
HARRY
When Adry reached the jail the two
brothers engaged in interested CONVEX
sation. What passed was not heard
by any perso- until Harry raised his
part. I have forgiven you for all you
have done. Now you do as ask
tBut, Harry, how can I?'' returned
Adry, appeallngly.
The answer was too much for the
prisoner. He sprang to his feet and
poured fourth a trade Of abuse never
before heard in the old jail:
''You low down, mean, contemplate,
miserable, damnable wretch. You re-
fuse to do that, after what 1 have
done. You God-forsaken tool. You
have played good part, but now
can tell you what think of you. Ny
letter to you was after all only decoy
for that purpose. You ID william.
If could only get at you I'd dig out
your brains with knife. I would
tear out your heart with my hands. I
I would crush the two together, cut
them to pieces, squeeze out the juice,
make it into pie and thrust it down
your throat"
He clenched his hands in his rage
and stamped his feet fiercely. His
face was ashen and livid by turns.
Adry sat quiet for few minutes, but
seeing the uselessness of waiting
longer. arose and started to go.
''God bless you. Good-by, Harry"
he called sadly, as he was about to go
down the stairs.
ooh, you villain,' was the return
greeting. MAY the curse of God fall
on you and yours and allow me to
haunt you until your dying day. Aha!
I will meet you on the brink of hell
with a redhot poker

cotton, made wholly out of wood fibre,

pine wood and spruce, which have been
ingeniously torn to pieces in the first
instance and bleached by an elaborate
chemical process. After chemical
treatment in many ways the wood be-
comes a soft white pulp, which is run
through perforated plates, the result

process. These threads can be woven,
and the material is susceptible of tax

Chief Justice Martin Disagr9os with HIS
Predecessor rs TO Redemption law.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. s.-November 1,
1884, George A. Kirkland gave his note
for 81 500 running five years at eight
per cent, securing the same by mort
gage on a farm in Shawnee county.
He afterward sold the farm to John
L Beverly subject to the mortgage.
January II, 1893, Martha Barnitz,
holder of the mortgage. brought suit
in foreclosure, and in July Judgment
was granted. In January, 1894, the
sheriff sold the farm to Martha Bar
nitz for 1000. March II, 1898,
the mortgage redemption law
went into effect. When a mo-
tion to confirm the sheriffs sale
was made in the district court, Bev-
erly asked that it be subject to the
equity of redemption. The court re-
fused and the case was taken on error
into the supreme court which by a
majority opinion rendered by Chief
Justice Horton affirmed the court be-
low.
A rehearing was asked for and
granted and to-day Chief Justice Mar
tin rendered q decision reversing his
predecessor. He holds that the equity
of redemption fixed by the law applies
to the mortgages executed prior to
the enactment of the statute and in
his opinion he is sustained by Assoc
ciate Justice Allen, the Populist mem
Der of the court. Associate Justice
Johnston dissented.

LABOR GATHERING.

Grafton of Lator. More than 500, 600

Perhaps a million workingmen would

Invented the Artificial Leg.

In quaint old house at 600 Mar
shall street, Philadelphia, lives Frank
o. Deschamps, who, although over
seventy years old, has been inventing
things all his life. Mr.. Deschamps is
as active rs boy of twenty, lives all
alone amid his models and contriv-
ances, cooks his own meals, acts as his
own housekeeper, and is as happy as
the day is long. Mr.. Deschamps's first
invention of note wGs the artificial
leg. 1t was over fifty years ago when
Mr.. Deschamps, then an apprentice,
was asked by his master to see what
he could do for a foppish Frenchman
who had lost leg. AT that time only
wooden legs were known, and the
Frenchman was dissatisfied with this
by no means elegant substitute. In
two days young Deschamps had fin
ished complete model of an artificial
leg, with every movement of the ma
tural limb duplicated. His master
had it patented, and it yielded him a
fortune. 81 got fifty cents out of it, u
laughingly remarked Deschamps.
"The Frenchman gave me that and
told me to go over to Smiths Island
and enjoy myself. And thought !

A Steam Engine 100 Years Old.

A few years ago an old beam engine,
built by James Watt, which had been
aoing regular work daily for lO2years,
was taken down and replaced by a
modern engine. The engine was orig
lnally a t5-horse-power engine, and
was erected in 1875. In 1875 some al
teratlons were made to enable it to
work to horsepower. 1t had a q
inch cylinder, Cfoot stroke. and sun
and planet motion. 1t worked at 24d
revolutions, or 210 feet of piston speed
per minute. In 1875 it was tested by
Mr.. Longbridge. when, with a steam
pressure of five pounds per square inch,
1t indicated A.. X horse power, with an
expenditure of coal OF 4.59 pounds per
indicated horsepower PER hour. Only
the best modern engines with the same
condition of loading would work with
two pounds of coal per indicated horse
power per hour. One is in doubt
whether to be surprised that, after a
century of endeavcr to improve the
economy of steam engine working, the
progress is so snail o to be proud
that so much has been achieved. Cas-
