A gentleman registered at the Wright
House on Wednesday night as Philip
Gaukler from Pontiac, and Thur sday
morning about three o'clock the entire
inmates of the house were aroused by
his cries. AS he appeared to be in a
dangerous frame of mind the marshal
was notified and with the aid of
the nightwatch the disturber was
placed in the lookup. He had been
drinking and appears to have become
suddenly deranged by his spree. Mar.
shall Greig telephoned his relatives in
Pontiac and they instructed him 10
bring his prisoner home, and he started
on the 4 30 train for Pontiac. About
hour before starting an alarm of fire was
turned in aud upon investigation it was
found that the prisoner had pulled the
straw out of the mattress i'm his cell and
set il on fire The water was turned
onto the fire and no further damage was
done than giving him good smoking

FANCY NAMES FOR POISONS.
Danger to Health and Life Turks i'm
Many OF the SO-CalIed Head
ache Remedies.

In his quarterly report on the health
Of the borough Of Chorley, Lancashire,
DR.. j. a. Harris, the medical officer
for the district, calls attention to the
indiscriminate sale and purchase of
the various so-called headache pow
ders. He states, says the British Med
ical Journal, that under his direction
the county police obtained six or
seven samples from the different shops
in the town and had them submitted
10 analysis. In every case the guam
tity Of the active ingredient was found
to be in excess Of the maximum dose
Of the drug allowed in the British phar-
macopoeia. These remedies belong
to the class of analgesics, the mem
bers of the group in common use for
the purpose being acetanalide or
phenylacetamide, phanazones and phen-
acctin or para-acet-phenetidin. Their
properties were fully considered in
the section of pharmacology and
therapeutics at the meeting at Edln
burgh, where Prof. Stockman (Glas-
cow opened a discussion on the
Therapeutic Value of Recent Syn
thetic Analgesics; Their Benefits and
Attendant Risks" There was a gen
eral expression of opinion that these
drugs required to be handled with the
greatest possible care, and that
slight error Of judgment with regard
to dosage might be followed by dis
astrous results. All these substances
depress the hearts action, and in toxic
doses diminish the force Of the respira-
tory act. The danger is not obviated
by selling a poisonous drug under
fanciful name
