OVERPOWERED
HIS NURSE

Taylor. Williamson Co., Tex,
Feb. 21-Delirious with fever
and suffering under the severe
mental strain of his condition,
no doubt, Gus Schaefer, one of
the smallpox patients over
powered his nurse yesterday
evening, and escaping from the
premises, terrorized a number
of the citizens living in the
western portion Of the city.
His pitiable condition, with
evidences ola loathsome disease
plainly discernible on his coum-
tenance, was sufficient to cause
all to flee from him. The proper
authorities were notified and
after considerable trouble the
patient was finally corralled
and taken to his lodgings, and
extra precaution taken to pre-
vent similar occurrence. This
is the second time lie has
escaped from his nurse 1t is
feared this exposure will prove
fatal in his case.

ARTIFICIAL COFFEE.

New York World.
1t will, perhaps, be news to
many to know that tons of ar
tificial coffee are being made
and sold for the purpose ofmix-
ing with and adulterating cof-
fee. The grains are stamped
out, colored and roasted so as
to look like the genuine article,
and would if mixed with gen
uine coffee, easily deceive an
unskilled eye: The fact that
the artificial does not usually
match that of the fresh roasted
is one Of the methods of detec-
ton; and ifthe fraudulent grain
is bit into its hardness will ex-
pose the fraud. Some of the ar
tiiicial coffee is made to initiate
the raw coffee grains and may
also be found in it as an adult
