West Virginia daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1894-1902, 1902-07-28

According to newspaper reports,
Attorney General Blizzard and
Judge John J. Jackson have decid-
ed not to arrest certain "agitators"
for contempt of court, as they do
not wish to make the feeling
against the Injunction order any
more unpopular than they now are.
This Is an other sample of what
Government by Injunction"
means. The court order Is issued
solely to intimidate men from
speaking. If the parties are guilty
they should be arrested whether
It's popular or not, but no arrests
are to be made and the contempt
of a great court goes unpublished
because 1t Is unpopular. The way
to stop this thing Is to EJECT men
to Congress this fall that will enact
laws that will stop this thing of a
Judge being the court the jury, the
executioner and dragging men
miles away frome their homes to
be tried. The law Is only enforced
against poor men. A similar suit Is
pending against the "Beet Trust"
and the trust has raised the price
of ueats three cents pound since
TIE Injunction was granted. Has
anybody heard of any of the big
millionaire beef trust magnates
being arrested and imprisoned?
Does any sane man for moment
think If they were arrested and
would plead guilty that they

Half a century ago omens were still
generally believed in. So, too. were
charms. I had cousin who seriously
undertook to charm away warts and
was believed to have succeeded. She
was supposed to have inherited the
secret from her father, a Wesleyan
minister. My uncle, a farmer, and by
no means a credulous man, when about
to visit London for the first time, feel
ing some trepidation, consulted doc
tor. The doctor handed him small
vial of quicksilver. which was certain
If kept in the pocket to avert all harm.
Doubtless the doctor laughed in his
sleeve, for doctors were then getting
incredulous. and l remember it being
commonly said of another practitioner
that he believed neither in God nor
devil. Nearly twenty years later, when
cousin who, born a Wesleyan, had
turned Quaker and came up to London
to the annual gathering of that body,
he showed me, with a smile, the iden-
teal vial of mercury. His mother,
good soul, had borrowed it from her
brother so that her son might likewise
benefit by it.-Westminster Review.

Tails Of Comets.

In memoir on the origin of the 0u-
SRA borealis Professor Arrhenius gives
u theory of the formation of the tails
the sun under the influence of the at
traction of gravitation. The comets
tail usually points directly away from
the sun as if repealed by that body.
The force of repulsion can be calculat-
ed. The cause of the repulsion has so
far been unexplained. The electro
magnetic theory of light CLERK Max
well's) involves the consequence that
pressure is produced in the direction
of the propaga ton of any wave of
light, and this pressure can be calcu-
lated.
The radiant energy of the sun can
also be computed. 1t follows that the
pressure away from the sun on body
of unit density and q cubic centimeter
in dimension is such ais to make it lose
about one ten-thousandth part of it's
weight. Spectrum analysis shows that
the tails of comets are made up of gas
eous hydrocarbon compounds Rea-
sonable assumptions as to the sizes,
etc. of the molecules of such gases
give basis for calculation. The gen.
eral result is that as comet approach
es the sun the solid or liquid hydrocar-
bons of it's head are vaporized by heat.
The larger particles fall toward the
sun. The very smallest are repealed
to form the tail Ii the head of the
comet is homogeneous. only one tail
will be formed; if heterogeneous, null
tiple tail.

Danger. of the Apothecary.

The distilled essential oil of almonds,
which when diluted supplies the popu-
lar favoring for sweets and connection
cry known as ''ratafia," contains in it's
strongest form sufficient percentage
Of hydrocyanic acid to make it highly
dangerous. A young man who was ex-
ecuting an order by pouring it from a
large bottle to a smaller one noticed
that he had not put the label quite
straight on the smaller bottle and took
it off again. Before replacing the label
he licked it to make sure of it's sticking
properly. But while pouring he had
inadvertently let drop or two trickle
on the outside Of the bottle where he
had affixed the label. Then when he
touched the label with his tongue he
felt as If something shot along that
member and also jump of his heart.
So he rushed to a tap, which was for
tunately close at hand. and put his
tongue under the running water. Never
as long as he lived. he said, would he
forget that poisoning sensation.-Cham-

sity of making good appearance.

he said, "be careful that you are pre-

cents for hair cut and shave. Then

applause, and the railway president
sat down amid storm of cheers.

The Stubborn Man,

You think it shows strength to be
stubborn and unforgiving, but it's a
mistake; it shows weakness. The
meanest soul in the world can pity
himself and nurse his troubles; he gets
a sort of enjoyment out of it. It's
awful easy, too; it amt necessary to
have any particular talent nor any
thing but the commonest brains; in
fact, it amt necessary to have much
of anything but a selfish disposition
