SOUGHT FOR DEATH
George Raimann Tried To Com
nit Suicide.
Took Nearly an ounce of Laudanum
Last Night and Lay Down To
Rescued I'm Time.
From Fridays Banner.

From Fridays Banner.
At an early hour this morning, DR..
Little was summoned to the home OF
George Raimann and told TO make as
much haste rs possible. Arrived
there he found that George had taken
nearly an ounce of Laudanum i'm an
EFFORT to shuttle of this mortal coil,
and was almost beyond human aid
when the doctor began operation.
His respiration had reached as low as
four per minute and his hands had
turned white and the body was fast
,becoming still.
= DR. Little lost no time in giving him
the necessary restoratiyes, and thinks
he is out of danger, provided no other
complications sets in.
George has made two previous at
tempts at suicide and DR.. Little has
been called in both instances to bring
him out of Cloroform taken with sui
cidal intent.
He purchased the I.audanum at
Wortley Il French's drug store,
claiming it was for sick horse at
Elmer Cooks for whom he was dray-
ing. No one seems TO know just why
he tried to end his life, but it is
learned that his brother committed
suicide some years ago by shooting
himself.
He was married about year ago
to Miss Ida McNichol, and everything
seemed to he going along well enough
at home, and why he should have
made this last attempt at suicide
seems strange unless he is afflicted
with form of mania that brings
about dispondency at various inter
walls

Oh thou great Lord who hodest in Thy hand.

Who shapest all the destnies of man, we lay
Low at Thy feet, humble thanks today
Accept we pray, the thanks the nations bring
To Thee. Jehovah, Master, Lord and King.
Thanks for the life that Thou has spared us all;
Thanks for the gifts OF Summer and of Fall;
Thanks for Thy guiding hand, so strong and great,
Which holds the rudder to our ship of state;
Thanks for the seasons blest with wondrous store:
Thanks for thy kindness to the suffering poor.
Continue Thou ever present friend,
Through life preserve, be near us at the end
And as the years upon their journey roll,
Vouchsafe Thy to every living soul
Though in the year, passed never to return,
Many have felt Thy rulings, kind yet stern.
And friends departed, still we look to Thee
With grateful hearts Thy watchfulness to see
Thy ways so wise though past our finding out
Should serve each day to Danish every doubt
And help us all on Thee cares to rest
And humbly say, O Cod Thou knowest best

In the case of Arthur Hubbard vs. The State, decided in the supreme court last week. MT. Justice Battle de liyered the opiaion of the court, Hub, bard was convicted before a justice et the peace of gambling and was fined $10 and costs After his conviction he executed note and mortgage to secure the payment of the fine and
 costs. Later he prayed an appeal to the circuit court and fled az appeal bond, which was aDproyei and the appeal granted In the circuit court the state moved to dismiss the appeal because Hubbard had executed a note and mortgage to the state of Arkan. sas in payment of the fine and costs. The court sustained this motion and the defendant appealed to the supreme court. Mir. Justice Battle stated that it was obvious that the security men toned in the act of March 3. 1S97
 amendatory of section 232f of San del5 6 Hills digest. meant personal security and not mortgage or lien upon property, and that no one has authority to take mortgage on behalf of the state for the payment of fine.

To Prevent Sale of Poisonous Drugs

Attorney General Murphy calls at teEtion to an act of the last general assembly the intent of which is to stop the spread of the destructive hab- it of using cocaine among negroes and the lower class of whites. The use of this drug was almost unknown d few years ago. except in a legitimate way by druggists and physicians, but it is said it's victims are now mum, bered by the thousands. It's effects are as baneful as opium or morphine, and soon wrecks the unfortunate who becomes addicted to its use, both phys. ically and mentally. Col Murphy holds that under the law a physician has no right to give a standing order for the sale of cocaine whenever the party to whom the order is given wishes it. nor has any druggist any right to repeat such order or to fill it more than once. The object of the law is to prevent those who are ad. dieted to the drug, or anyone else, from obtaining it except when it is really needed In order that it's sale may be justified it is necessary that the prescription be given on the physi- clans estimate of the need of the patient at the time he prescribes. Who ever fills such an order or prescription for the same person more than once contravenes the spirit of the law and renders himself subject to punish ment. Members of the State Pharma. cists' Association propose to use their efforts to stop the sale of the deadly drug

Mallory ap. plcation Was made before Judge Trieber in federal court, for tenn porary restraining order against the officers of Grittenden county to pre- vent the trial of the case in the state courts. which was granted The next move in the case will probably be a motion on the part of intervenors or those representing the officers against whom the injunction is issued, asking for the dissolution of the in- junction. In case this is denied an appea! will be taken to the circuit court of appeals. and probably to the United States supreme court.

This bill was among the number vetoed by Gov. Davis May g. Judge Winfield held in substance that the veto was void because it was made after the expiration of the 20-day limit from the adjournment of the legislature Attorneys representing the governor contend that the veto is valid. and that it was issued within the time set from the date the bill was placed in the hands of the chief executive. This decision involves all the bills, about eighty vetoed by Gov. Davis in his famous omnibus veto proclamation. The case will be talk. en to the supreme court.
