ALCOHOL Avn ALCOHOLISM.


Prof. Hewes, ~. d., teacher Of chem
istry in Harvard Medical school. has
sent to the press Of the country . CIR
GUAR letter In which he analyses the re-
cent alcoholic experiments Of Prof. At
water. and declares that there II . grave
misconception az 10 the results OF his
investigations. 1t will be remembered
that Prof. Atwater. after an exhaustive
examination into the subject. announced
that he had demonstrated as q phys.o-
logical fact that the human system
could absorb certain amount Of alco-
hol--nos more than two ounces per day
without detrimental effects. and even
with benefit,
Prof. Hewes declares ahat the expert
menss show merely that the body may
derive some benefit from alcohol This
does not in itself ent.tie alcohol to be
placed among the food substances in
the hygsenic sense OF the term. which is
the sense In which the schools and peo-
pie In general use the term food" It is
then pointed out that alcohol has pol
sonous effects. and the question as TO
whether II can be considered as food
depends entirely upon whether Its
beneficial effects are greater than the

LOWRY GOT AWAY CHEAPLY
CLERICAL ERROR CAUSES THE
POLICE TROUBLE.
Comstock Ba1tender's Bail Origin

vertently Reduced to $1,000.

Warren Lowry, the Comstock bar
tender who made a gun play in the
New State lodging house Tuesday
night, threatening the lives of Mr..
and Mrs. j. A. Estes, landlord and lady,
and choking Miss Ida Cecil, one of the
dodgers, after all came nearly getting
out of his trouble for the handsome
sum of $40. He got out of Jail yes.er-
day morning for that amount, and II
is as laughable a transaction rs the
police ever heard of.
When Lowry. who gave the name OF
Johnston, was arrested he was charged
simply with carrying concealed weap-
ons, the intention being to charge a
more serious offense yesterday. Desk
Sergeant Livingstone, knowing the par
ticulars of the case, fixed Loxry's bail
at 5000, which he was unable to fur
nish BY some inadvertence the amount

corded, so bright and early yesterday
morning, when Lowry sobered up and
wanted to get out, Desk Sergeant
Pratt, who had come on Shift in the
meantime, looked over the book, as did
the other officers, saw no bail recorded
and rightly concluded that $40 was as
high as it could be put for Carrying

and away he went. The amount was
forfeited in police court at ). O'Clock.

APPORT|ONMEhT OF FUNDS
ATTORNEY GENERAL HANDS
DOWN AN OPINION.
Says Millard County Distribution of
School Money Was Not Properly
Made.

William A. Lee, deputy attorney gem
ion regarding the apportionment OF
county school funds. The opinion was
in answer to a communication from j.
Alex Melville, county attorney of Mil
lard county, who stated that during
the school years of '96-'97, the appor-
tionment of school funds was made
before all the taxes were collected.
Owing to delinQuencies and uncol-
lectible taxes, the school funds were
not sufficient to pay the apporuonment
Some of the districts were paid in full,
and others were not paid their pro rata.
Attorney Melville desired to know
what redress, if any, there was for
chose districts which did not receive
their pro rata.
The opinion submitted was that the
apportionment was net properly made.
The county treasurer is required by
section 1866 Of the revised statutes to
receive all public school moneys and
keep separate account thereof; and
when the moneys are aDportioned to
school districts, to pay it to the dis
'trict treasurer upon the warrant of the
county superintendent of schools.
This method of aDportionment re-
quires the county superintendent to
distribute school funds in proportion to
the number OF school children residing
in the district over the age of 6 years
and under is, from the last enumera-
ton reported to the Office. This stat
ute is very free from ambiguity, and
requires very simple mathematical
calculation to determine what each dis
trict is entitled to receive.
By the wrong apportionment made,
some districts have received more than
thew ire entitled tO and Mr. ,ee Sta teS
that proper authority could maintain
an action against such districts in case
they refuse to refund the money paid
under q mistake.

ELLIS is IN A QUANDARY
HERALD ARTIST LOSES AND
FINDS HIS WHEEL.
Can't Get It From Present Holder,
However, Without Legal Proceed
ings That Will Involve Costs.

Frank Ellis of The Herald art depart
ment is wondering how he can regain
possession of wheel that is missing,
yet not missing, through a series of
peculiar events. Ellis loaned his wheel
to Charles Claypool for day, but the
borrower sold it to Curly Peterson, a
peddler at Third South and State
streets. Ellis found the wheel in Peter
sons possession, but the latter flashed
a bill of sale for $3.50 with Claypool's
signature on it, and refuses to give it
up. Meanwhile C1aypool is said to bs
speeding eastward, and as the artist is
unable to prove that Peterson knew the
wheel was not ClaypooPs, he is nos
cognizant of a way in which to re-
cover without mourning costs greater
than the wheel is worth. The article
could be replevined, and in case he was
victorious Peterson would have to pay
the costs back to Ellis. But as Peter
son can't pay the same, being a poor
man, the artist is in quandary.
