A CIGARETTE VICTIM.
TERRIBLE CONDITION OF A KAN.
SAS CITY BOY.
He Raves Violently and Two Men Are
Required Ito Hold Him on
the Bed.

A Kansas City Paper gives the follow
ing account of the condition of an excess
i've cigarette smoker:
"Homer Strickland, the sixteen-year-
old son of Mrs. NJ. C. Strickland, pro-
fessional nurse, who lives at 4O7 Lands
Court, became insane last Sunday from
cigarette smoking. For a~year or more
Homer has been smoking the little 'cCf-
fin nails and for the last six months he
has been a confirmed cigarette fiend.
When without one to SIN oke the craving
made him miserable, but as soon as the
appetite had been satisfied he would
brighten up and be happy and contented
until he needed another cigarette. AT
ter it was too late he tried to overcome
the habit, and two weeks before he be-
gan to show signs of Insanity he chewed
tobacco almost constantly until
Saturday, the day before he be-
came insane, when he suddenly stopped
the use of tobacco altogether.
Sunday morning Mrs, Strickland no.
ticed that her son was unusuallymorose.
He went to the baseball game with
friend, but talked strangely at times.
Since then his rawlings have been more
violent, until last evening Mrs. Strickland
concluded that it would be best for her
son to go to the city hospital.
1T TOOK TWO MEN To HOLD HIM.
Humane Officer Greenman was called
and he had Homer taken to the hospital
in the police ambulance. It took two
men to hold him, his rawlings had become
so violent. At the hospital he was bound
to bed The authorities thought it
would be best for Mrs. Strickland to
leave her SOD, but she would not agree
to this and had her boy taken home
again, He was more placid after being
bound, and has not since been so vio-
lent. He still has a craving for tobacco
and Mrs. Strickland allows him to
smoke a cigar whenever he desires, al
though this seems TO aggravate his abb
erration.
CDR John Punton, who was summon
ed by the family, explains the cause of
the arrangement in this way: The mar
cotic poisons, morphine and nicotine,
have poisoned the blood to such an ex-
tent that the nerve cells have become
inert. The effect on the nerves, he says,
is similar to the effect of rheumatism on
the muscles and joints. In professional
language, the nerves are incapable of
being physiologically revitalzed. The
nerve cells which are worn out cannot
be replaced because of the poisoned con-
dition of the blood"

which she was accused. 1t was propos-
ed to introduce the plea of insanity in
her defense. She was examined later
by physician employed by the Home
Office and was declared to be sane.
On May 81 Mrs. Dyer was indicted
for murder and on the following day was
sentenced to death.
In prison Mrs. Dyer made several at
tempts TO commit suicide. At Reading
she tried to strangle herself with her
shoe laces; some time later she tried to
force handkerchief down her throat
and upon another occasion she attempt
ed to cut her wrist against a piece of
iron
The baby farmers last attempt at sui
eide was on May &c, in Newgate prison,
when lying in bed, apparently asleep, she
twisted handkerchief around her
throat and almost succeeded in strang-
ling herself.

Anotber Bond issue Is Due.

Another run is being made on the
gold reserve, which is now down to
500, O0O,O Within a month an
other bond issue of 100000, 600 is pre-
dicted. Mr.. Cleveland says he will is
sue bonds when the gold reserve goes
down. 1t is going down as fast as the
Wall street combine can draw it out.
They will therefore reap the reward of
another bond issue in the near future
perhaps before the Chicago conven-

eRIswoLD's AMUSING sNAKEi
Queer Things That He Does Uuder the In
fiuence of Hard Cider.

| hUChCC Ot nara C10eFs
From the Bridgeport Morning Union.
The most intelligent and accomplished
snake whose history has yet been record
ed lives on the farm of Frank Griswold.
at Long Hill, about six miles from this
city. The snake in question has male
its home under the floor of the wood
shed attached to the Griswold home
stead for more than ten years.
When Mr. Griswold was a boy-and
he is not so very old now-ln one of his
youthful excursions through the woods
and fields he unearthed the nest of a
black-snake and took the eggs home.
Some of these eggs he placed under
hen, which was patiently sitting on
nest fnll of hen and duck eggs.
He awaited the result with impatience.
and in due time the old hen was called
to look out for conglomerate brood of
chickens, ducks and snakes. "Teddy''
is the last of this non-descript family.
His brothers and sisters have all de-
parted this life, someby way of the chop
ping block and others from natural
causes.
Teddy" lived and became pet. He
took up his residence under the wood
shed and has lived there eyer since. In
the daytime he consorts with the hens,
and divides the la Dor of caring for the
broods with them. He has inherite the
trick If calling the chicks about him, and
it is an amusing sight to watch them
hunting bugs and worms for a brood Of
chicks who gather about him to receive
the luscious morsels. Whenever he feels
thirsty he crawls through a hole in the
wall into the cellar and dips his nose
down through the bunghole of the cider
barrel. Sometimes he gets little too
much of the seductive liquid, and fur
es free show for Mr.. Griswold and his
friends. /. is a most amusing sight to
see Teddy" staggering about with big
jag on and making desperate efforts to
keep straight.

A press dispatch from Columbus
Neb., says; Last night was one
of terror to residents of the low
lands in this city. The cloudburst in
the Loup valley the night previous
made the usually sluggish Loup riv
er raging torrent and to this volume
of water was added the heavy rain of
last night. All the low-lying part of
town was flooded to a depth of from
three to six feet.
The danger point was not reached IN
til midnight, when the occupants of the
houses were forced to flee to higher
ground. The situation is but little i'm
proved today, but with no more rain it
is thought the water will soon recede.
Other towns in the Loup valley are in
even worse condition. At Fullerton.
northwest of here, the depot is sur
rounded by water nearly to the depth
of five feet, and the water runs through
the building while the operator works
at his key. The Union Pacific is under
water and trains are laid up here. Much

The Platte river is beginning to rise
ana there are fears of foods in the
Platte bottoms further east, the richest
farming district in the state.
The loup river has risen five feet
since last night. There are but two
fatalities to human life thus far.
The rainfall over the district was un-
Precedented, extending as far northwest
as Chadron.
IN IOWA AND MINNESOTA.
At Sioux City, Ia. residents were
driven to their cyclone caves by a high
wind from the southeast about seven
O'Clock last evening. Shade trees and
chimneys all over the city were blown
down and few small frame buildings
suffered. The local telephone compa-
MES were heavy losers.
"A" AAeoIthSSS AlAu's JIG SOUFU was JUe
greatest of the year, tearing up streets,
washing out the culverts and doing
great damage to crops. All trains east
and west were side-tracked there.
At Adrian, Mimi, 100 head of stock
and one man, E. w. Hunter, were
drowned in the storm. The st. Killian
mail carrier tried to cross the lake north
of town and was submerged in the ris-
ing tide. He climbed atree for safety.
At Baldwin, Mimi, the greatest down
pour of RAIN in the history of the town
occurred. Water was running over the
main business street. A large number
of families were compelled to move out
of their houses. The railroad tracks are
washed out for about 200 feet. There
are several other bad washouts between
Knapp ana Roberts. The damage to
crops and bridges in the county is very
great.

and the Moses of the Mckinley boom in
Georgia, has under taken to dge the

should have the best that there was in
the shop when thay landed in st. Louis.

FOR FREE SILVER.
How the Counties of the Second District
Stand,


Stand.
In the face of the result of the pr :
maries it is not probable that anybody
will now have the gall to claim that the
second congressional district is for what
the goldbugs call "sound money" or
against the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16
t. 1.
There are fifteen counties in this dis
trict, and of these fourteen selected del
egates TO the state convention on June
9th. The issue was clearly drawn on
the financial question, and eleven of the
fourteen counties acting on that day
elected free coinage delegat S.
The counties which declared for free
coinage were Baker, Calh un, Colquitt,
Clay, Decatur, D .ugherty, Early, Miller,
Worth, Randolph and Terrell.
Those which voted to sustain the
Cleveland financial policy were Berrien,
Thomas and Quitman.
The county which did not act on Sat
urday was Mitchell. 1t acted on the 9th
and went for silver.
