Fooled Clay.

Richmond, Ky, April 2s.-By a skill
fully planned ruse Constable Neale Ander-
son succeeded in serving a writ on Gen,
eral Cassius M. Clay, notifying him that
his bank account at the State Bank 4
Trust company of this city had been at
tached by his daughter, Mrs. Mary G.
Clay, and her son, Attorney George Clay.
The attachment grew out of the trouble a
few weeks ago, when General Clay, with a
rifle, dispersed a sheriff's posse which went
to White Hall to secure some household
goods belonging to Mrs. Clay.
Departing of obtaining the goods with
out serious trouble, Attorney Clay decided
to let him keep them, but sued out an at
tachment for $4l0O, the value of the goods,
and levied on the generals bank account.
Constable Anderson was commissioned
to serve the notice, and after several hours
OF patient watching he stealthily erept up
to the generals guarded castle and slip
ped the important document under his
door. The officer did not tarry to note
what transpired, but as he fled from the
premises he heard the generals alarm beH
calling for his armed retainers.

ALUM BAKING POWDER.

some, and Its Sale in Violation Of
the Pure Food Laws.

A case in the courts of Davenport,
Iowa, the other day appears to have
fixed the status of the alum baking
powders as an Illicit article of trade.
1t seems that The Pure Food Co..
of Chicago, sold to a firm of grocers in
Davenport a quantity of baking pow
der called Pure Food Baking Pow.
der" The grocers sold some of it..
ascertained that it was an alum pow
der, returned the powder unsold to
the manufacturers and refused to Gay
for it. The manufacturers sued to col
lect.
The case was tried before Judge
Bollinger and jury. Attorneys Neal
& Neal and s. A. Finger defended the
grocers. It was shown that the pow
der contained alum. The defence
claimed, consequently, that it was in
furious to health and that traffic in
1t was against public policy. Expert
testimony was introduced to show that
alum when taken into the stomach
would influence the gastric juices to
the detriment of the person using it.
The jury rendered verdict for the
defendants, which means that alum
baking powders are deleterious to
health, their sale illegal in the state.
The pure food laws of the state are
upheld.

Patients whose cases were more adj

DIR. Wllar did not divulge the charac-

Hypodermic injections are made. vary-
ing in quantity every second, third

individual cases.
Argentine physicians have been in

and the serum treatment.
DR.. George F. Shrady of New York
city, in an interview published in the
New York Herald commenting upon
the dispatch, said that the medical pro
fession did not place much confidence
IN the serum treatment of tuberculosis.
He said:
The medical profession now holds
after centuries of experiments, that the
proper treatment for tuberculosis is a
change to dry, pure air. The impress
sion that men are not cured of con-
sumption is a prevalent and an errone-
Gus one. There have been many thous-,
ands OF cures. The fact that DR.. Villar
does not give the formula of his rem
edy would prejudice the medical pro-
fession against 1T. A remedy designed
to benefit the human race should be as
free as air and water"

WAS IN UNFORTUNATE TRAIN
SEVERAL MEN WERE KILLED.
Great Northern Eastbound Freight
Man Lay Across Track and Run
OVERHEAD Rail Wrecked Cars
Two Tramps Fatally Injured.

Cut Bank, Mont, April 2s.-When En-
gneer Morris, with engine 279, pulled
out of Kalispell on No. 10, a Great North
ern eastbound fast freight, he had hoodoo
somewhere aboard his engine, for he had
as unlucky trip as usually falls to the
lot of one train.
Passing down the hill three miles east
of Columbia Falls the engineer saw
man lying alongside the track with his
head on the rail He reversed his engine
and applied the air brake but the mo-
mentum of the train was so great that
he was unable to stop in time The pilot
of the engine struck the man on the
head, knocking him to one side. 1t was
found that he had been struck by some
train earlier in the evening and had both
his feet cut off. The loss of blood and
subsequent injuries no doubt will prove
fatal. His name is unknown. An empty
whisky bottle found in his clothes told
the story of how he came there.
Three miles east of Java the train
struck broken rail, derailing eight cars
and breaking them up badly. Two
tramps, names unknown, who were steal
ing ride in a car of lumber, were prob
ably fatally injured.
When the train arrived in Cut Bank,
Antoine Anderson, car inspector, who
was inspecting the train, stepped onto
the passing track next to the train. The
engine, which had been detached from
the train, was backing down this track
and struck Anderson, knocking him
down and passing diagonally across his
body, killing him almost instantly.
Anderson was the son in law of a
wealthy cattleman here, and leaves wife
and one child.

LONG AGO
Council Pleaded
For Economy.
The Situation Has Not
Changed.
Many Abuses Have Long
Continued.
Will the People Do Away With
Them7

The record of the City Council in
opposing the extravaganza of the
City Commissioners might be shown
in many ways. 1t has long been fla
miliar TO those who attend Council
meetings and those who have read the
reports of the Councils proceedings.
The following extract from the pro-
ceedings of meeting held more than
year ago shows what the Councils S
position was at that time. and also
shows in part how Councilmen have
been attacked and abused for opposing
the Board
Mr.. Paul said: "If the Commission
ers neglected their duty it is no excuse
for us TO neglect our obligations. The
Council has repeatedly and almost con-
tinuously fought against this extrava-
gance, but political influences and dead
locks have made it impossible to accom-
plish anything. The Board of Commits
sioners has appeared to Council of late
years to be organized and controlled
more in the interests of politicians and
the privileged interests than for the
benefit of the people who pay the
taxes. These abuses will continue un-
til the people determine to do away
with them"
