Owen F. Fishback, the grandfather of
Judge Peter Swing, of the Hamilton
county ciricut court. During all the
hours of her visit and while writing she
always occupied this plain poplar
chair. After Mrs. Stowe rose to fame
with her book the chair was preserved
and handed down as a part of history
from Mrs. Fishback to Mrs. Grant and
Mrs. Swing, then to Miss Miller; from
her to Mrs. G. Anderson, who left the
chair in charge of Mr.. Lou Buerkle, in
whose possession it now remains.
The back of the chair has become
broken off, and all of the Stats are
broken out of the back. The color of
the chair was black. Mrs. Swing, now
deceased, had many pleasant and inter
esting accounts to detail of remarks
and conversations held by herself with
the deceased authoress. The chair
is much priced by it's present pos

POISONED FOOD.
An Entire Family's Narrow Escape
From Death.

A family named Schubert, consisting
of Mrs. Schubert and her four daugh-
ters, came very near losing their lives
on Monday by partaking of some mush
made from a package of meal adulter-
ated with arsenic, presumably by the
manufacturers.
They were all taken violently i'll, and
but Tor prompt medical attendance
would have died.
The meal has been analyZed, and
found to be heavily impregnated with
arsenic. Fred Ray, the chemist who
made the analysis declares that the
package contained enough to kill sew
eral persons.
Mr.. Ray said last night that the fam
lily had been suffering from the effects
of the arsenic for several days. but the
nearer the bottom of the package was
approached the heavier were the dali
ly doses of arsenic. 1t is a very heavy
mineral and settles at the bottom.
1t is believed the poison was pur-
posely put into the package, but why
anyone should attempt to poison the
members of the family is as yet a mys-
terry.

TAPPED A SEWER?
People Complaining About the Bad
Smelling Water.

Complaints are coming in about bad
water. The river is low, and when
ever this condition prevails the water is
at its worst.
Last night a lady living in the vicin-
ity of Fifteenth and E Streets tele-
phoned the "Record-Union" that the
water over that way was so bad they
could not use it.
What is the particular trouble with
it?' she was asked rs it muddy?"
"Oh, no. was the response. 1T is
clear enough, but it smells as if it
came from sewer, instead OF a water
pipe. 1t is simply impossible to drink
it without danger of contracting ty-
phoid fever or diphtheria 1t is awful
1t is useless to advise that this or
that be done, and to even suggest that
the city has suffered long enough from
this cause is enough to give some of our
intelligent and up-to-date officials an
epileptic fit.
Perhaps there will come a day when
the people will throw off the incubus
that is weighing down the city. But
the hope is not new one. 1t has been
crushed before, and may be again. Time
will fell
