CASTOR OIL JAGS POSSIBLE.
Paraffine, Kerosene and Cod Liver
Oils Also IntoXicate.

In the usual acceptation of the term
intoXication, or drunkenness, or in
ebriety-for they all mean practically
the same thing-is referred to the eX-
cessive use of alcoholic beverages in
one form or another. Norman Kerr,
the highest English authority OF the
subject, has pointed out, however, that
there are a great many things besides
alcohol which produce intoXication,
and that alcohol inebriety is not so
dangerous or deleteriOus in its effects
as some other kinds of intoxication.
DR.. Kerr enumerates among the things
that make drunk come" as the In
dian expresses it, ether, cocaine, eau de
cologne, iodine. opium, hasheesh,
parafine. kerosene and even such
seemingly i~nnocuous substances as cod
liver oil and castor oil. 1t would seem
almost incredible that there could be
such a thing as kerosene inebriety or
cod liver oil intoxication, but the rec
ords of scientific research, as set forth
by DR.. Kerr. are not to be disputed.
The fact seems to be that overindul-
gence in any one of the numerous
substances known genericaIly as para
triples begets a cumulative appetite,
and that this is accompanied in time
by functional arrangement, and, worse
still, by a slackening and weakening
of moral fiber. Tea, coffee and to-
bacco, while less injurious to most peo-
pie than alcohol or opium or ether,
serve to illustrate the familiar saying
that the appetite grows by what it

But Those Youthful Kentucky Hunt
ers Captured it.

Stanley Searcy has a lonesome look
ing bald eagle c0oped in the rear OF
the Enterprise Hotel. He captured the
bird Friday. after quite a fight. and
brought il home in a big box Sunday
night.
Young Searcy and his friend. John
Long, took a shot gun and setter dog
and vent out along Bull Greek Friday
morning on a hunting expedition.
Rabbits and quail seemed to be very
scarce, as the two boys did not sue
coed in bagging a thing up to about
) o'clock in the afternoon. AS they
walked across a field Searcy saw what
he thought an unusually big chicken
hawk strutting about on the bank of
the creek. The two boys crept up to
within a short distance of the bird
without alarming it. Searcy liftedshis
gun to his shoulder and pulled the trig-
ser, but the cap failed to ignite the
powder This started the bird. which
attempted to fly away. 1t was about
i've feet above the ground when Scar
cy pulled the other trigger. This time
the gun went off, and the bird fell
with a broken wing. The dog ran I'D
to the bird, and was about to seize
it il his mouth, when the bird raised
up and struck the dog through the
upper jaw with it's talons. AS soon
as the dog got loose he started yelping
cross the field.
Searcy and Long hurried up to the
bird, and Searcy stopped over to pick
it up. Just as he was about to seize
the bird it tapped it's good wing and
struck the boy a stunning blow in the
face, knocking him down. Searcy
knew by this time that he was not
dealing with a chicken hawk. He
wanted to capture the bird alive, so,
instead of shooting it, he went at it
with his dubbed gun. He struck at
the birds head with the gun but
the blow was lodged, and before he
could gather himself for another blow
the eagle flew at him and fastened his
long hooked beak in his arm.
By this time Long came to his COM
paniOn's assistance with a stick of
Noou. ne SIFuch the eagle over the
neck with a stick SO that the bird was
dazed. The two boys bounced on the
bird together and bound its legs and
wings together with some Irvine they
happened to have in their pockets.
They thought they had had exciting
experiences enough for one hunting
day, so they carried the bird in tri-
umph to Longs home. The bird
measured exactly seven feet from tip
to tip of it's wings. 1t is the only one
that has been captured alive in that
region in FIVE years. The farmers
around Bull Greek say it must have
been driven down from the mountains
by the snow and cold.-Louisville

fee habit, the tea habit, may grow on
one until what was once a want be-
ONE an actual need, and each is as
necessary to the comfort if not the
health Of the devotee as food itself.
In the discussion of al these Ques-
riO-S science IS 1t Il disadvantage. SAYS
the San Francisco Chronicle. because
first. no two human beings are exactly
alike; and second, no individual is ex-
actly the same at different times. One
ia may drink almost numberless
drinks and evince no sign of intoxica-
ton, While another will become maud
lin at the smell of 4 cork out of a
whisky bottle. Then. too. the man of
clear head and strong digestion. to
whom usually liquor is almost as
water, may find himself in a condition
where a single glass of wine will up-
set him. Science cannot deal with
such contradictory conditions. One
thing seems certain-that the human
race, so long as its records have been
kept, has always found ways and
means to impose upon itself the condi-
ton which we call drunkenness. The
theory and process of fermentation,
and even OF distillation. has certainly
been Known for four thousand years,
and men. at Least since the days of
Noah, have continued to put into their
mouths the enemy that steals away
their brains. Happily the average of
lntoXication, at least in all civilized
countries, is decreasing. Drunkenness
has gone out of fashion. and while
prohibition has not won the dav, mod
Grafton and temperance have achieved
a notable victory. There will be Just
as many ways of getting drunk as
ever, and modern science may discover
new ones, but there will not be so
many people to intoxicate themselves
as there were in the times to which
we refer as the good old days" when
abstinence from intoXicants was
deemed evidence of physical and men,

The ELKS CASE.
Judge Sharply Criticises the Members
of the Famous Order.

Cleveland, o., March 29.-Judge
Hammond delivered his charge to the
jury in the Elks case. He sharply
criticised the members of the order for
engaging in what he termed petty diff
ferences which disrupted organiza-
tons.
"No quarrel eve had a more trivial
beginning" the judge said, "or was
more useless than this one. 1t is as
tonishing how full grown men will al
low such a petty difference to grow in
to the proportions we have here, where
a famous and useful social society
with rich belongings has been disrupt
ed seemingly without hope of recon-
Struction."
Continuing, the judge said the
amount involved is sufficient in the
sentimental value Of the parapherna-
liza to give the court jurisdiction He
said the jury must consider that At
lantic City was the legal meeting
place for holding the convention in
dispute because it vas fixed by the
grand lodge and the grand trustees
and the subsequent removal Of the
general trustees in no wise changed
the legal meeting place. The jury
then retired.

John w. Cary was recognized as
II of the shrewdest railroad lawyers
in the country. He became connected
with what is now the great st. Paul
system in it's infancy, joining the
forces of Alexander Mitchell, S. S.
Merrill and the other leaders in
building up that system, in December,
1859. He was born in Addison county,
Vermont, February II, 1917, and was
consequently past IS years of age.
His parents removed to western New
York when he was about II years
old and he entered school there, COM
pleting his collegiate education at
was admitted to the bar in 1914, and
until 1850 he practiced in Wayne and
Cayuga counties, when he started for
the New West, locating that year in
Racine, where he began the practice
of the law. a few years later he was
elected from that county to the state
senate, AMI in 1857 was elected mayor
of Racine. He also served as school
commissioner and was active in es-
tablishing the school system Of Racine
upon a substantial basis. In 1859 he
was appointed attorney of the ST.
Paul company and soon became its
general solicitor. In that capacity he
successfully conducted all of the COM
pany's extensive lawsuits, nearly al
ways winning his case. OF his ca
pacity for legal work and his great
success as a pleader it is said Of Mr..
Cary that at one session of the SUI
preme court he tried fourteen i'm
portant cases and won every one Of
them, with such distinguished attOT
neys as Caleb Gushing, Henry i.
Cram and Matt H. Carpenter opp0s-
ing him. These suits involved from
100000 to $1,O0O,0OO each. A num-
Der of his friends insisted on nOmi-
mating him for congress in 1864, on
the democratic ticket, but he was de-
feated by the votes Of the soldiers
at the front, although he received a
majority OF the votes of men at home.
He was elected, however, to the as

Baltimore, March 2S.-At 2 O'Clock
on the morning Of the 10Th of March,
Spanish sentries murderously shot and
killed a seaman of the British steam
ship Laurestina and badly wounded
a Cuban negro at st. Jago, Cuba. On
the way back to the town of ST. Jago
the men had to pass a Cuban fort gar
risoned by Spanish troops. Suddenly
a sentinel sprang out Of the darkness
as they neared the fort and in Spanish
commanded them to halt. Lowe did
not understand the command and
started to hurry away. The sentinel
tired and Lowe dropped to the ground
a corpse. The negro then started to
run when he, too, was shot and mortal
ly wounded. The dead man and the
wounded negro were carried inside the
fort. At caybreak Captain Garvin of
the Laurenstina demanded the body
of the nan This was refused and he
made Il formal complaint to the Brit
