teetotaler and was highly respected by all
who knew him. An inquest will be held

There are some persons who indulge
to considerable excess in coffee drink
ing, and many more who go to even
greater excess in the use Of tea. 1t has
accordingly been contended by some alb
stainers from these two substances that
they are capable of generating form of
inebriety corresponding to etherism.
Unquestionably Incorporate tea and
coffee drinking will give rise to serious
mischief. The inordinate consumer of
strong tea may become q dyspeptic
wreck, a sleepless hypochondriac, with
q decrepit nervous system, the victim
of q deep, intense melancholy, with, in
some cases, a suicidal tendency. The
immoderate indulger in coffee, black
and strong, may lose all appetite for
healthy food, eat little, suffer from
tremors, acute neuralgia and other
pains, excessive thirst, agonizing head
ache and feeling Of intolerable dryness
and heat. He may become pinched and
emaciated, have a feeble circulation
and constant fear of falling, with a
blurred vision, as if looking through
light brownish media.
These, however, are the symptoms Of
tea and coffee poisoning. They bear wit
ness, SO to speak, to theme and caffeine
intoxication, minus the an@sthesia and
paralysis of alcoholic drunkenness. DR..
Kerr, in his practice. has never seen an
uncomfortable craving for tea or coffee
to which all natural affections and du-
ties were subordinated. He is therefore
unable to recognize these phases of ex-
cessive drinking as manifestations OF
narcomania, the disease which is char
acterized by an overpowering impulse
to intoxication at all risks.-New York

Black Hawk Shocked by Terrific Bolt the
Other Evening.
Window panes and glassware rat
tied in Milan homes when that bolt
of lightning landed against an old
oak tree near the Watch Tower the
other evening.
It was q terrific shock and people
for several miles around were
aroused by fits force. The bolt came
against the tree about thirty feet
from the ground and with its down.
ward course took q strip from the
oak nearly two feet wide. A hole a
foot deep was torn in the ground.
The strip from the tree was reduced
to small bits and scattered q couple
of hundred feet distant. This makes
the tenth time in five years which
this locality has been visited by Sc
we're thunder bolts. On one instance
q man lost his life and another time
q couple OF cattle were killed on Van
druff's island.
The thunder bolts striking in this
particular locality ten times in sue
cession have led people hereabout to
believe that there is q good conduc-
tor OF electricity beneath the surface
in that neck of the woods. And evil
dences of copper. iron and sulphur
have been found on an examination
of the ledge near the river bank.
This is probably the nature of the
deposit farther north.

A Pointer.

Our sister city of Rock Island is
building a court house that will be q
thing Of beauty. and it is hoped as
within as it will be beau
tiful without. Scott county has q
court house that she can well afford
to be proud of. The one blemish on
the court house here is the un-
slightly, antiquated old Jail, that
stands at one corner of the court
house square. Rock Island appears
likely to make the same mistake.
She has a Jail that is as much of a
back number as our own, and in
some respects more offensive to the
eye, but it is thought more than
likely that it will be retained, a dis
figurement and an eyesore. These
two cities. so progressive and we'll
advanced in everything else, ought
to take steps to complete the work
they have carried thus far, and vie
with each other in removing these
vestiges of an unsightly day from
the places where they now constantly
offend the public eye to others where
they will be less in evidence and
more fitly placed.-Davenport Dem

ing q member Of that order will

to invite the grand commander and

gether with the Communicates of

participate.
The prospect is, therefore, that the

The Vest Question.

The policemens request that they be
permitted to shed their white vests in
summer time Is not unreasonable. The
vests are much heavier than their appear
arce would indicate and they undoubtedly
cause a great deal of discomfort dur
ing the torrid season. But if the vests
are ordered off, there must be uniformity
of shirt front. In times past there has
been complaint because-the vests being

to the condition Of affairs in the Rand. and
how strong the temptation long has been
for men Of means and education and prog
ress there to bring about a change, by
force If necessary. What the English court
has decided is in effect, that such change,
or any change, cannot be brought about by
Englishmen operating upon the lines Of
DR.. Jameson and his men. The Boer gov
ernment is under the protection Of Eng
land. and hence an attack upon 1t was in
directly an attack upon the crown, as we'll
as an invasion of friendly power by un-
lawfully enlisted Englishmen.
Future developments, both in England
and in the Rand, will be awaited with in
terest. 1t is a safe assumption that the
reform movement in the Rand will not die
because of This result In England What
has existed to oppress progressive men
there-Englishmen and others-stil exists.
And as long as 1t exists 1t will be fought.
The cause of real progress-what makes
for larger opportunity and better govern
nent-is always just. In the end. too, 1t
always triumphs. President Kruger has
assurance that England will keep her
treaty obligations with him, but this does
not carry with 1t an Endorsement Of his
government. Neither does the conviction
Of DR.. Jameson and his men carry with 1t
the declaration that the Uitlanders had no
just cause Of complaint. Only their method
OF redressing their wrongs Is condemned.
Will the English home government take
hand now and assist in redressing those
wrongs in way consistent with the law?
If so, the Jameson raid, hard as 1t has
been on the raiders, will turn out to be a
public blessing. That Is the way Fortune
frequently works

The Jameson Decision.

The decision in the case of Dr. Jameson
and his lieutenants was strictly in accord
ance with the law and the facts and 1t re-
fleets credit on the English judiciary Pop
ular sympathy was put aside. and treaty
obligations were upheld to the letter.
At the same time the real merits of the
question in its larger phases remain un-
touched and unsettled They We're not be-
fore the court, and could not be brought
before 1t. The only matter at issue there
related to the acts of DR.. Jameson and his
fellows viewed In the light Of existing law.
Another matter altogether Is that relating
