After You Have Eaten Onions.

Take a small cup of black coffee as
soou after eating onions as convenient,
and, if you are at home, use a mouth
wash and gargle of glass of water in
which has been put few drops each of
camPhor and myrrh. If you are away
from home take the precaution to slip
into your pocket bit of orris root. A
little of this will do something towards
destroying the offensive onion fumes.

Logan, Utah, December 2o.-Peter
Peterson, alias "Scaly Pete" Is reported
lying at the point of death at his
brother Nephfs residence on the
Church farm, having apparently fallen
victim 10 his peculiar idiosyncrasy,
that of hunting trouble whenever under
the influence of liquor. This has been
the bane Of his life for several years
and got him into trouble and Jail last
week, after an attempt to immediate a
brother-in-law and afterward down the
biggest cop on the force, in both of
which he was unsuccessful His efforts
landed him In Jail, and II was not until
Sunday Afternoon that he was set al
liberty. He Immediately sought one of
the haunts Of King Gambrinus situated
outside of the city limits, and once
more drank himself up to the danger

It is evident that after leaving the
'boozing ken" he met someone willing
to indulge his weakness, as his mani.
mate, almost-dead form was found on
Monday morning IN the Millville lane.
The evidences of hard fight were
everywhere visible. The ground in the
vicinity bore unmistakeable traces, and
as his coat and vest had been previously
removed, II was evident that he was not
taken unawares, but went into the scrap
with intent to damage his opponent. It
was equally evident that he had struck

dier, Weyfer Has Accomplished
Morning Thomas LoveIace says
maceo s. alive aud WIN Join Gomez

New York, Jan "A special from
Washington says Is General Weyler
70 be succeeded as governor general of
Cuba' There are good reasons for Civ
ing an affirmative reply to this question
and for saying that that officers days as
director.in-chief of Cuban affairs are
numbered. Recent proofs from Madrid
have intimated that Prime Minister
Canovas, certain members of the cabi.
net and some leading Spanish papers.
are dissati6ed with Weyler's court in
Cuba. The general has accomplished
too little as a soldier to please the au-
thorities and press at Madrid.
The intimation made that Weyler is
to be called home Is not based SO much
upon what is being said in Madrid as
upon a report made TO the state depart
ment by Minister Taylor. Generally
that which Mr.. Taylor communicates to
Secretary Olney is held in such strict |
confidei ce that little intelligence he |
conveys reaches the public. Informa-
ton has, however. sifted through official
sources that Mr.. Taylor has informed
the secretary of state that General Wey-
r is likely to be relieved of his com
mand at an early date, and that his sue
,essor has been practically decided
ipon.
Minister Taylor informed Secretary
)lney several days ago that the author
ties at Madrid were on the point of re-
ieving General eyler of his command
n Cuba and appointing as his successor
'aPtain General Primo de Rivera. Rea
ons are given in brief why a change a
'as deemed advisable and statement
'as made as to the probable time when
lie orders would be promulgated. It is
armed that the Madrid government is &
spleased at the fact that General Wey- o
