Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-10-29

TT roally seems to be the exception
nowadays to take up daily paper
without finding the account OF sulclue
Of a man or woman by means OF car
holic acid. The latest case Is that OF
n man who poisoned himself at MS
wife's grave and it appears in evidence
that he had pawned his coat to puy
che carbolic acid with which he erect
ed his purpose. Now, carbolic acid is
v,rulent poison; a few drops will kill
a dog. and plants expire IN dilute
aoueous solution of it, and yet 1t can
ma obtained easily and without restrlc-
t,on nv any one who desires to obtain
It for legitimate or illegitimate pur-
noses. Even child may purchase at
a shop without any difficulty for Jew
cents as much of this virulent poison
an will kill half dozen persons. Sure
w the time has arrived when some
thing should be done to restrict the
sale OF this acid, the more particularly
when it is considered that by far the
largest number of deaths by poisoning
ia caused by its agency, and 1t seems
to be the fayorite means of self-de-
,struction by women. 1. is nothing less
than a scandal that this article should
mt be included among the scheduled
nelson's. If the legislature has decreed
the prussic acid, by which painless
death is produced, shall not be avail
able to the public except under med
,ical supervision, then why in the name
%: reason should carbolic acid, which
causes the most frightful suffering, be
within the reach of all? An alteration
in the existing legislation in this mat
tar ia urgently called for.

will never cease to have queer ideas In

has lost not a dollar of any kind OF

rESrrnD4Y IN THE COURTS.

Cases Against F. F. Pfieghar & Son Re-
 sumed Nesterday-Suit for Divorce
 Bronght-kovers' Wheel Club Assigns Other Court Notes.
 The case of Hauser vs. F. P, Pheghar & Son, and Stephens vs, the same de- fendants, was resumed before Judge Thayer in the superior court yesterday morning.
 Attorney J. T, Moran was the first witness and described the explosion in the English & Mersick building, as he saw it from the window of his office in the First National bank building
 Professor William G. MiXter was put on as an expert chemist by the defence and was put through an elaborate | technical examination by Professor | Watrous, who is one of the counsel for the defence.
 | Professor MiXter stated that he was familiar with the properties of acety- | lene gas, and described the manner in which it might be exploded or decom- posed. The examination was filled with technical phrases. 1 of Professor Mixter that the defence relies on proving that, at the time of | the explosion, there was no literature or experiments tending to inform even scientific men that explosion was like ly to occur under the conditions which existed at the time. If this can be 1 proven it will show that the defendants were not negligent in not informing their employees as to the dangerous properties of the gas
 Alexis Krah, Pfeghar's foreman, tes- tified that he frequently repaired leaks in regulators, similar tn that upon which Hauser was working, and tight ened the screw joints with red lead. He didn't know what Hauser used. He said that gas came through the pipes often, and it was hard work to prevent 1 leaks. That was because the regulators had not been perfected. Stephens came in to see him often.
 SUED FOR DIVORCE.
 Mrs. Gussie Baker, through Attorney L. E. Jacobs, has brought suit for di- vorce against her husband Charles Baker.
 Three years ago Mrs. Baker was a | uO4llGSilC aL StiNlCe III tlll9 NlIy, SthNt Charles Baker was attached to theat- .rical troupe.
 The young people were married, and Baker proposed wedding trip to the south. His bride was willing. Then Baker confessed that he had paid his last dollar to the clergyman who had married them Mrs. Baker had $95 in the bank, and with this money the pair started south. At New York MT. Baker took charge of the money, and few hours later disappeared. Friends loan- ed Mrs. Baker money enough to pay her fare back to New Haven.
 A few days ago Mrs. Baker learned that her husband had returned to this city, and she retained Attorney Jacobs to sue for divorce, alleging adultery and assertion.
 WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME.
 An application has been made to the superior court for change of the name of the Norman & Bullkeley Printers Supply company to the Norman Supply company.

Etc, of Olden Times.
 Clintonville, March 16,-ln the last
 number of the Philadelphia Farm Journal Is an article by Jacob Bizzle
 on lamps, lanterns, finder boxes and matches of olden times, and the way
 they were made, etc. Judge Bizzle fur- nishes a very interesting paper monthly
 on high farming at ElmWood. l was interested in his subject this month My memory dates back to the finder
 box age. So you will know that l am
 no longer boy. I will give you the
 history of the first oil lamp that l have any remembrance of. In the town of
 Hamden, where was born, there lived | two elderly entlemen--Stephen Gilbert and Erza Joel Ford MT. Gilbert lived
 about mile above Whitneyville on the Hartford turnpike at the fork of the roads. Erza Ford was near neighbor | and a great joker. MT. Gilbert pur-
 chased an oil lamp at Riley Knotts
 store, which was small too unpre- tentious wood building.
 Squire Ford, the neighbor of MT GIL | bert, was in MT. Knotts store few days after Mir, Gilbert had purchased l his lamp. MT. Knott was hold forth | the merits of his new lamps to some customers and called on Erza Ford as
 to how his neighbor, Gilbert, liked his 1 lamp. The squire said: "Oh! first
 rate" He said Neighbor Gilbert came
 to his house a few nights ago to bor-
 row candle. He had lit his lamp and
 lost it. He went home and found it l | ~ 4 |. Il Nn
 the room. I did not learn that the
 squire was ever called on again as an
 expert on lamps.
 Knowing these elderly gentlemen, as | I remember them, natures noblemen
 which they were, I have not forgotten this incident. LYMAN BASSETT.

After the first three or four days I found the goneness in the stomach had left me; I com nenced to eat my food and relish it. can certainly testify that Puritana has md is doing me world of good consider the results attained as being truly remarkable, and shall certainly not be without puritana, for I am posi- tive that at last have a cure for my complaint of liSetime
