FRIDAY. Deo. 2s. 1909 Z
A Long Journey of a Cartridge.


We were shown by prominent
physician Of this city today. an entire
Winchester gun cartridge that had
been swallowed by ten year old lBoS
last Sunday. The cartridge measures
about two inches in length and Is
quite. heavy. 1t had to travel JLe en-
tire length of the aIlmentary canal, a
distance of % feet, which 1t did in four
days, causing very little disturbance
In its travels, which is rather remark
able when the leaden ball, powder and
brass shell is taken into consideration.
The physician ordered a diet of
bread and milk and prescribed castor
oil and advised that the youngster be
not spanked for fear that the load
would go off.-Sentinel.
We are reminded of recent case in
this city by the above. .kephyslcian
was called to see a flve-SearSold child
who had swallowed carpe{sEtack. He
prescribed treatment for tho child
in which haxseed took prominent
part. After treatment of this kind
for about forty-eight hours the tack
was recovered and no bad results have
followed. The tack was No. 8 car
pet, iron tack, very sharp and some
what rusty. The tack is now in pos
session Of pr. Hardy, who treated the
child. * I

The New Bridge,

Since the Council ordered the Bridge
committee to investigate and report
the best method of repairing the Put
nam street bridge, much speculation
has been INDUCED in as to what the
outcome would be. 1t seems that the
committee thinks a new bridge the
cheapest method to repair the old one
and to tnat end it is reported that
soundings will be taken the first of
next weei. for the PIERS for the struc-
ture.
1t is also rumored that in case a
bridge S built it will have a thirty
two foot roadway and sidewalks for
pedestrians on each side.
1t is being urged that a good plan
would be to place the new piers
above tlose in the old structure so the
present bridge can still be used while
the new one is being constructed
This would also bring the new bridge
in line with Putnam street, which
would be a desirable feature.

Quite while before the scheduled

he judges announced that IL was q
tie between Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Singer
and their ladies, and these two couples
would walk again to decide who gets

hard to win out. During Mr. Curtis
walk, his lady removeu from his pock-
ct, all to music, a tooth brush, and
cleaned his teeth, while Mr.. Singer in
troduced the Hobson kiss in his move

Still Another.

Still another has been added to the
already long list OF petty burglaries
in this city. This time it was meat
shop on Putnam street which belongs
to Dunsmoore & Rennard, and provis-
ions seems to have been the object, as
a quarter of pork and about a gallon
of oysters were taken, also eleven
cents which was all the cash contain
ed in the register which is always left
open in order that burglar would not
have to break it, hoping to get money.
The entrance was effected through a
back window, the thieves breaking the
whole sash in in order to make a hole
big enough Ito get through.

The Dons Are Getting Tired.

Madrid, Jllne 23.-Ihe manifesto III
favor of peace, which was issued by a
number of influential provincial asso-
Citations in Catalonia, has greatly i'm
pressed the Ministry, coming as it does
from the most powerful industrial
province. Catalonia is the most for
ward and most independent province
in the kingdom.
Referring to the giving up of the
colonies, the manifesto says:
1T would be better to consent to am
putation, however painful, than to con-
tnue a war that must be fertile in dis
asters. What folly it is to say that
Spain courts ruin before peace! 1t is
more honorable that there be peace
Where is the honor in pouring out the
blood of our soldiers and reducing mill
lions to famine?
Peace alone can prevent the utter
annihNation of the Spanish nation. 1t
is the duty of all to demand peace and
to push forward the Government,
which knows too well how things
stand not to wish for peace.
1.-The disaster that has overtaken
Spain should teach the Spanish peo-
pie the serious duty of interesting
themselves in public affairs"

James n, Grinor on Trial for Murder.

James Il. Griner was on Tuesday
afternoon placed on trial before Judge
Woodford, charged wit, the murder of
his step-daughter, Mrs. Katherine
Schaetfer, whom he shot and killed
several months ago. He is defended by
John Il. Lenahan. p. A. O'Boyle and
Charles Il. Krck. District Attorney
Martin represents the commonwealth.
There was no effort for further contin-
uance of the case, which has already
been twice stayed.
The defense will be insanity, and a
large number of witnesses are subpoe-
nacd to subStantiate this theory. The
prisoner on Tuesday was nattily dressed
in black suit and looked to be in better
health than he has been for some years.
He says he feels relieved now that the
trial is on, and eagerly awaits the out
come, as it will take great burden from
his mind. Besides, he said the trial
would give him opportunity Of explain
ing to the public much that may change
the opinion of him entertained at the
present time. He said that during his
incarceration he had not been visited by
his wife.

Local beer agents have notified the
saloon men that the war tax Of 81 will
be charged upon each barrel of beer
delivered hereafter. This is an advance
of 81 over the previous rate, and the
retailers do not take kindly to the in
crease. They claim the breweries
should stand at least half of the war
tax, which would leave the price per
barrel the same as at present. Instead,
the brewers are saddling the whole tax
on the SaloOnists. The latter cannot
well raise the price of glass to or Z
cents, and unless compromise is effect
ed with the brewers reduction in the
size of glasses may be looked for at any
time.
There is some talk of the retailers
organizing to resist the advance in beer.
The small amount of trade being done
in their line, with no lessening in the
expense of conducting saloon, has
made the business Improbable to many,
and the action of the brewers has arous-
ed them more than anything else which
has occurred in IA long while.
