HARDloN. SMOKERS.
old Time Legislation Against the
Use OF Pobncco.


It Is one OF the, curiosltles OF old time
legislation that the use OF tobacco was
in early colonial days regarded by the
magistrates aud elders as Ear more IN
furious, degrading and sinful than that
OF Intoxicating liquors. Both the use
and the planting Of tho weed were for
hidden. the cultivation Of It being per-
mitted only in small quantities. 'for
meere necessltie, for phislck. for pres
ervation of the health, and that the
same be taken privately by annclent
men," But the Creature called tobac-
kO" seemed TO have an indestructible
life. Mrs. Alice NJ. Earle writes of
these early restrictions about tobacco
in "Stagecoach and Tavern Days
Landlords were ordered not to "suf-
fer any tobacco to be taken into their
houses" on penalty of a fine to the
''victualler" and another TO "the party
that takes it, The laws were con-
stantly altered and enforced, and still
tobacco was grown and was smoked.
No one could take It "publicquely" nor
in his own house or anywhere else be-
fore strangers. Two men were forbid
den 70 smoke together
No one could smoke within two miles
Of the meeting house on the Sabbath
day. There were wicked backsliders
who were caught smoking around the
corner Of the meeting house and others
on the street, and they were fined and
set in the stocks and In cages.
Until within n few years there were
New England towns where tobacco
smoking in the streets was prohibited,
and innocent cigar loving travellers
were astounded at being requested TO
cease smoking.
Mr.. Drake wrote In 1856 that he
knew men, then living, who had had 20
plead guilty or not guilty in Boston
police court for smoking in the streets
OF Boston.
In Connecticut I'm early days a great
indulgence was permitted to travellers
a man could smoke once during a jour
ney Of ten miles.

Great Patent Nation.

The United States grants $4,000 pat
ents per annum, or nearly as many as
all the rest Of the world. England
grants 5000 per annum and France
and Germany each about 1000 and
such countries as Canada, Australia,
Austria, Italy and Russia grant about
1000 each. An interesting and hopeful
fact is that more patents are granted
In proportion TO the applications than
ever before in the history Of the patent
Office, showing that mechanical genius
is not chasing as many rainbows as
formerly. American inventive genius
is shown in all lines Of invention. but
It greatly predominates in machinery
for manufacturing, transportation and
labor saving. Europe and the orient
have begun to find that without Amer
lean industries they would be unable
TO go ahead.-Success.

Dropped Dead.

A. W. and John B. Eager received
word last Thursday of the sudden
death of their father, Lewis Eager, at
Almena, Mich. He was past "a years
of age and able to be around up to
the very moment of his death. He
had eaten breakfast and started to go
the barn, which was across the road
from the house, when he fell dead at
the gate. His death was caused by
dropsy of the heart.
Mr.. Eager vas an old timer in
Michigan, having come to that coun-
try in 1885, when it was still a terri
tory, and, with the exception of a trip
to California in 1852, had lived on the
farm ever since entering the state.
He was slightly deaf, but retained
his eyesight up to the time of his
death, only using glasses to read with
in the evening. Lorenzo, brother to
A. W. and John B. Eager, was killed
by lightning on the 18th of June, at
Allegan, Mich. He and his little 9
year old son sought shelter under a
tree during a shower, when the tre,.
was struck by lightning and the faith
err instantly killed and the boy badly
shocked.

In Justice Court.

Outside of a few plain DRINKS and dis
orderly cases matters have been very
slow in Judge Heath's court this week.
Charles Mitwalsky was arraigned
Monday for being drunk and disorderly
and threatening to do bodily harm to
DIR. Smither. He was placed under
500 bonds to keep the peace.
Frank Gaver was fined So and costs
Wednesday morning for being disorderly
and now lauguishes in the lookup.
The case of +. G. Wolf VS. G. Goodwin
was tried Saturday, resulting in a YER
dict of Sl5.30 and costs in favor of the
plaintiff, being the amount offered the
plaintiff to settle in the first place.
Judge Heath expressed himself quite
strongly on the matter Of ~lenient tines.
He has been assessing DRINKS and dis
orderlies but IS and costs, hoping that
his leniency would have a restraining
effect on that class of crimes. He real
ICES that leniency is not what is wanted
aud gives warning that in future he will
sock it to all cases Of that character
that may come before him. We hope
he will retain this resolution and put it
into practice, as there is a good deal OF
feeling regarding the leniency which
has been shown two or three reprehen-
sible cases.

A Streak of Bad Luck.

E. Weyle, the photographer, who
came over from Rawlins Saturday, on
his way to the mountains, has had a
streak of bad luck ever since starting
out. He hitched a pair of bronchs to
his wagon in Rawlins and they OBJ
jected to the business as irregular
and without precedent and proceeded
to tear things. When they got
through there was a broken tongue,
a general mixup of harness and
bronch until it was a hard matter to
untangle them.
Mr.. Weyle then invested in a pair
of horses, warranted to be gentle and
to pull in a straight line. All went
well until he got to Saratoga, when
they, after staying with him one
night only, took French leave. As
they were brought from the Lander
valley it is likely they are topping
Beaver hill about the time this APP
pears il print.
At present Mr.. Weyle is resting on
his oars watching both sides of the
river to sec what will happen next,
and trying not to be taken by sur
prise, no matter what turns up.

George D. Malloy a SwindIer.

Last week, Chan Forney, of the firm
of Forney and Morrison, Riverside, gave
George ID. Malloy, who was coming to
Saratoga, three checks, amounting to
500, to deposit to the credit of the firm
in the Saratoga State bank. Malloy
came to this place and cashed all three
of the checks, blew in at least a part of
the money and then skipped the country.
The saloon of 4. P. Andrews cashed
one of the checks, amounting to s31.50
and the Hot Springs Hotel cashed an
other. We we're unable to ascertain to
whom the other check was paid,
but when it was presented for payment
the suspicious of Cashier Kruger were
aroused and he telephoned Mr.. Forney,
who o. once came down. Nothing how
ever could be done in the matter, as it
was simply breach of trust on the part
of Malloy, as all the checks were en-
dorsed by Forney and given into the
hands OF Malloy in trust for deposit in
the bank.
Nothing is known OF the whereabouts
of Malloy, who is well known here. hav-
ing beer a painter and paper hanger

they didn't. They had everything ready,
but the horses were not in a mood for
