Samples Of mixtures made in imitation OF baking
powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis
trbuted from door to door, given away in
grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous
to use in food and in many cities their sale is
prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, and
all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

Criminal Prosecution by Filing Civll suit
Against Treasurer Thompson.
The criminal suit against Territorial
Treasurer Thompson for alleged en-
bezzling S57ls of territorial funds col
ected as interest, is likely never TO
come Off.
The reason Is that attorney general
j. c. Strang yesterday evening filled a
civil suit again-t Mr.. Thompson TO re-
cover the amount mentioned, which is
claimed as being the amount OF inter.
est money paid TO him by the Guthrie
National oank, where he deposited
territorial funds
In an interview with Mr.. StranR he
said IL was simply a suit TO decide
the ownersh p of the increase OF the
deposits in the territor al treasury -
whether he interest on deposits be-
longs TO the treasurer or TO the terri
tory. The suit was brought at the re-
quest OF Gov Barnes. which Is ia writ.
ten form and attached TO the petition.
This snit viii probably be tsken no

then followed to the supreme court for
tinal decision.

the amount OF interest he has received
which we did, and the question Is now
before the court for settlement in the
only way ia which. In our Judgment,
il should have been presented; that ie,
by civil action. There can be no
such thing as err bezzlement in this
territory where person takes proper
~ and retains Il under a claim of
right. We have a statute to that ef-
feet. Mr.. Tbompsons claim 70 this
money Is unquestionably honestly as
serted by him. He has received ad-
vice not only from Gs. bat from other
lawyers Of unquestioned standing,
that he Is entitled to retain this inter
est as his property. Such being true
the county attorney of this county,
while believing the territory ought TO
receive the interest, has recognized
the fact that the matter should be set
tied In civil action the same as any
other property interest or right should
be adjusted. This civil proceeding
having been instituted, the criminal
case is continued to await the hnal
determination of the legal liability Of
Mr.. Thompson, and II the courts OF
this territory finally decide that Mr..
Thompson is not the owner Of this in
terest, then it will be promptly turned
into the state treasury"

Ahe criminal case OF the territory
against Frank M. Thompson, treasur-
er OF Oklahoma, which was instituted
against him some time ago, was con-
tinued today for the term. Upon in
quiry IL was ttacertaiped that civil
suit was commenced yesterday upon
the direction otthe governor to Attor-
ney General strang, for the purpose OF
recovering interest which Thompson
has received upon the deposits of terri
torial moneys since his incumbency in
office.
For the purpose OF getting the facts
In this matter properly before the pub
lie the Leader interviewed Judge Dale
OF the firm of Dale & Bierer, who are
the attorneys for Mr.. Thompson both
in the criminal prosecution and the
civil action. Judge Dale was found
In his Office and was asked to state for
the benefit of the readers of the Lead
er the facts as they exist relative TO
these two cases, and the basis Of Mr..
Thompson's claim TO the money in
dispute,
In answer 10 questions Judge Dale
said:
During the time of the meeting of
the last legislature considerable dis
cussion was had relative to the ques-
tion of the territorial treasurer receiv-
ing and retaining interest upon terri
torial moneys which he had placed for
safe keeping in banks. AS result of
the public interest the matter was
called to the attention of the grand
jury of Logan county and Judge Bur-
ford instructed such grand jury In
srhstsnce that while the territorial
treasurer had q right TO deposit the
territorial funds In backs and had o
right to contract for interest on such
deposits, yet the interest received
thereon belonged TO the funds of the
territory and that IL was the duty of
the treasurer 20 account for the same
TO the territory.
Acting upon this information an
investigation was had and IL was
learned that Mr.. Thompson had re-
ceived from the Guthrie National
Bank interest upon public moneys de.
posted with such bank, and the grand
Jury returned Rn indictment against
him for the embezzlement Of the in
terest received by him
"It is our contention continued
Judge Dale, that this interest be-
longs to the treasurer and not TO the
territory. There is no statute in this
territory which provides how the ter
fitorial treasurer shall keep the mon
eys entrusted 10 him. except that he
shall safely keep them. There is no
law which prohibits the treasurer
from d, posting the money In banks
nor directs that he shall not do so.
In other words the legislature has
failed 20 pass any law attempting 10
regulate the manner Ia which the
treasurer shall handle the funds that
come into his possession, but the law
does hold the treasurer absolutely re-
sponsible for the safe keeping OF the
funds. Such being the case, the cues
tion OF tho liability OF the treasurer
for interest must be determined upon
the legal phase of the case which de-
terFnines whether OF not he Is bailee
or trustee or a debtor OF the terri
tory. IN bailee or q trustee tho IN
tercst belongs 20 the territory. II a
dabt0r the interest belongs TO him.
Such appears 20 be The decisions Of
the courts passing upon this question
Our statute as we contend, makes the
tgeasarer debtors that is TO say he

HER EYELIDS MOVED.
Narrow Escape From Burial Of
a Woman in Trance.

East ST. Louis, Ill, Jan. 15.-Mrs.
Christina Hirth emerged from a trance
this morning to find herself under pro-
cess of being embalmed and prepared
for the grave. The discovery of life was
the result of the merest accident and
astounded the undertaken. A move
ment of an eyelid saved the woman
from. death at the hands of the under
taken or from burial alive.
This morning, while her husband
watched at her bedside at the hospital,
she gave a deep sigh and then seemed
to breathe no more. When the county
physician arrived he felt her pulse and
made other tests and then pronounced
her dead. The county undertaken was
called and shortly afterward proceeded
to embalm the body in the dead room.
Mrs. Hlrth was placed on the cooling
board and the work of preparing her
for burial began. The body was cleans
ed and partially bleached. On each eye
a weight was placed to hold down the
lids. Over the face a white cloth Satu-
rated with bleaching fluid was spread.
The undertaken heard something fall.
When ready to remove the bleaching
cloth he noticed that one of the weights
had fallen off. In replacing it he
of the eyelaSh. There was no beat of
pulse or sign of breath, however, so he
set about preparing his instruments for
the injection of the poisonous fluids
used in embalming.
While thus engaged he heard another
noise. Again the weight had fallen.
Again he noticed a faint quiver of the
eyelid. Then he applied the most pow
erful test known to undertakers and
was rewarded with a faint sign of life
He summoned assistance and the body
was removed to a bed in the hospital
The doctor was called and restoratives
applied.
Gradually the woman came out of her
coma and was able to move her body.
She was unable to discuss her expert
ences, but made signs to indicate that
she was conscious of all that had taken
! place. 1t is expected that she will re-
gain some of her strength and live for
| awhile at least.

men to do what they can to bring these

long recognized this fact and some of
those in this country are coming to a
recognition of it.
Much of the weakness Of the labor

the injustice of its cause or to the lack
of ability in those who presented it,
but to the difficulty of getting the ear

CHASE KANSAS RABBITS.
Humane society of Chicago Fails to
Prevent Coursing Match.

Chicago, Jan. 15-Five hundred sports

event of the season at Forty-Seventh
street and Western avenue Sunday af-

from the Brighton Park police station,
but finally brought off the match just
outside the city limits and in sight of
the officers.
Plans for the courSing were on scale
that would do credit to a Sunday af-

been widely advertised and promised to
be a big betting match. The purse was
said to be the largest ever offered for

anteed to outrun a cyclone.
1t was the intention of the managers,
it is said, to make the race the first of
a long line of similar events, but at IN
stigatiOn of the Humane society, the
police were ordered to stop the affair.
The managers, however, did not propose
to be cheated out of the sport. The

started to another spot, but the police
followed. After two hours travelling
and a great deal of inconvenience they
reached the city limits and decided to
have the race in the open.
The affair, however, was -unsatiSfac-

The promoters announced that they
would make another attempt to have
the race and will invite members of the

They deny there is any brutality in the

ALONE BANDIT.
Holds Up Two Kansas City Restau-
rants Successfully and Escapes.

Kansas City. Jan. 15-With true west
ern abandon and nerve that resem-
bled in every way that of the old-time
border bandit, a lone highwayman,
masked and armed. looted two res
taurants which are situated in the very
heart of the city between and 6 o'clock
Sunday morning.
Policemen were stationed all about
this man and electric lights were ablaze
wherever he dared tread, but he played
his hand. held a dozen men at the
points of two reVOlVers and escaped
with the "swag'' as neatly and as com
pleteIy as II he had rehearsed his part
for many weeks.
The restaurants which were visited
by the lone highwayman were those of
Robert McClintock at 1125 Walnut
street, and Lewis Bros, at 1910 Walnut
street. McClntOck'S cash register
yielded $l46 for the pains of the robber
In Lewis Bros place the cash register
was empty, the proprietor having just
removed its contents and gone away. In
both restaurants were from three to five
men, yet, nothing daunted, the bandit
went about his work with an evident
knowledge of what he was doing that so
completely Overcame the men that they
scarcely realized, until after it had all
happened and the robber was gone, that
they had been robbed. The man made
no attempt whatever to rob the men in
the restaurants. Only the cash registers
received attention from him
Several suspects were arrested yester-
day, among them Hungwen, but Drys-
says the robber was not over five feet
four inches tail, and heavy set, with a
reddish mustache which showed below
the handkerchief.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make US believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet, and a mixed diet Of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly
the best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form and is
digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says; Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If the
! digestion is too feeble at first it may be
| easily corrected by the regular use of
! Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
| meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
! thousand grains of meat, eggs or other
1 animal food in three hours, and no mat
/ ter how weak the stomach NAV be no
4 trouble will be experienced if a regular
! practice is made of using Stuart's Dys-
! peps1a Tablets because they supply the
pepSin and diaStase necessary to perfect
! digestion, and every form of indigestion
| will be overcome by their use
That large class of people Who come
/ under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure its
! proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe, harmless digestive medicine like

masquerading under the name of dvs-
| pepsia cures are useless for indigestion
| as they have absolutely no effect unon

Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is
simply failure of the stomach to di-
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia. is to
| make daily use at meal time of a pre-
! paration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
