Wreck at Staples.

A very destructive freight wreck
occurred in the yards at Staples last
Thursday. A long freight train was
Just starting out for Duluth, and had
not attained full speed, when a brake
beam on one Of the cars fell ON the
track deraiiing and piling up In q
confused mass, fifteen loaded cars.
The trein had not gotten out Of the
yard limits, it is said, and the de-
struction of property is very large
for the rate of speed at which the
train was running at the time OF the
accident. No one was hurt.

Chicago Times-Herald: The state
board of pharmacy has acted wisely in
declaring war against apothecaries
and grocers who are dealing in adul-
terated drugs and chemicals. For some
time past an investigation has been 60
ing on, and the discoveries made by the
chemists employed for this work are
startling. AS the result it is said that
more than 200 arrests will be made in
Chicago. Frederick NJ. Schmidt, resi-
dent member of the board, says that
among other peculiar things discovered
by the state chemists may be enumer-
ated "borax" which contains no borax,
'lithia tablets which contain no form
Of lithia, "quinine pills" which contain
no quinine and 'cream of tartar" con-
tanning 85 per cent of plaster Of paris.
Comparatively recently several takers
flooded the drug market with new
"tasteless quinine." Sufferers from
! ague and other forms of malarial dis
eases purchased the new drug eagerly,
hoping thereby to escape the bitter
taste Of the old familiar product Of
Peruvian bark. They did escape the
taste, but they couldn't shake the ague.
That "tasteless quinine" was pulverized
plaster Of paris. 1t is this sort of i'm
position that the board of pharmacy
aims to prevent. The use of plaster Of
paris in the arts has been known from
earliest times. It is especially valuable
for interior decoration. But when II
comes to decorating the interior of ones
anatomy with plaster of paris frieze
, even the most enthusiastic lover of art
would be justified in registering a mild
demurrer. @

The railway mail department of the

And now Santa Barbara has caught

Independent, the plan is to follow, in

This would give an increased popula-
ton variously estimated at from 1000

these districts are already parts of the

Pasadena is in immediate danger of
losing one of the principal attractions

because the present location of the tel
escope pays little or nothing to its sup
port and that of its manipulation. How
ever, if Throop Polytechnic or some
other institution will put up money
enough, Prof. Swift will stay.

A correspondent Of an Eastern paper

made about the use of the plumage of
birds by milliners, when bobolinks are
shot daily and served in restaurants.
1t is true that the bobolink is never

of fare. No one with any sentiment
would be willing to eat larks, night
ingales, brown thrushes, bobolinks or
doves. The accomplished chef gets
around that neatly. In his vocabulary
the bobolink is reed bird and the dove
a pigeon. AS sort Of retribution,
