POISONED BY QUININE.

The danger in the indiscriminate use Of quinine
was shown recently in a case treated in the Hud-
son Street Hospital. The patient, man. had a
severe cold and took two quinine pills. About fif
teen minutes afterward he became very weak and
seemed about to die from exhaustion He was
taken to the hospital. and the physicians and
nurses worked all night to save his life. He re-
covered and probably will not doctor himself again
soon with Quinine.
The case was considered rare one, and an in;
yestigation was made. Dr. L. A. Conner, who had
charge of the patient in the hospital. found that
the mans sister had been poisoned twice by TAX
ing uuinine \ brother had shown the same sus-
CeDtibility.

Governor.

Regarding the hub-bub made about
the appointment Of Fred wenner, as
school land commissioner. and the gov
ernor's statements that he was max
ing appointments without consulting
so-called leaders, Secretary Grimes
said:
t'If one-half had been given to the
press that has been generally discuss
ed by various newspapers. enough has
already been said. There seems, how
ever. one thing the public in general
is not clear on. and that is that the
present school land board is a creature
of the law and consists of the COVER
nor auditor and secretary of the ter
ritory, and any act or selection Of an
employe belongs to the board and not
to any individual Any opinion that
may have had regarding the selection
Of a secretary of the board was one Of
my prerogatiyes, and / can not see
wherein c5.id be accused of trying to
usurp the power Of the governor, or
anyone else, OF be charged with po-
1ltlcal interference or o. being dicta-
torial.
Another thing, by the way" contin-
ued Secretary Grimes, "seems to have
been dragged into this matter The
motive is not apparent to me why any
person or newspaper should place Mr..
Flynn ON one side and Mr.. Mcclure on
the other as factionalists in desiring TO
control the governors appointments.
TO my knowledge, Mr.. Flynn has not
suggested any member of the present
administration, nor on the other hand
have | heard that Mr.. Mcclure made
such suggestions. nor do | know that
either desired to do so. In fact, a great
deal or all of this reported factional-
iss1'iS imaginary any way.
''While I, or any other beneficiary Of
the Republican party by appointment
may not be under any obligations to
any particular individual OF member
of the Republican party for his selec-
ton. yet l feel that we are all under
many obligations, just the same, to the
party generally. It is our duty to see
that everything is done conducive to
party harmony and interest and that
any honest difference of opinion should
not be given out in a manner to create
any impression that there is faction.
alism and strife within the party
among it's officials, when such is not
the case.

cation going the rounds that l have at

sensible swiss Covenants.

Some OF the ancient agreements be-
tween the little Swiss states were very
noteworthy. In 1243 Berne and Fri
bourg made a covenant which lasted
for more than 200 years by which they
agreed that even a war between them
should not destroy their agreement.
that no war between them should be
entered on without a previous attempt
at Cancellation and that within four
teen days of the end of any feud all
territory conquered and spells of war
must be returned to their owners. Cit
les which $50 years ago could agree TO
such terms deserve to live in history.

few years later were wise and far
sighted enough to agree ito sit still
and seek Cancellation" in case Of differ
ence between them. Just over 6OO
years ago the Swiss confederation was
founded by the three tiny mountain
states Uri, Schwys and Nidwalden,
which. remaining small and unimpor-
tant themselves, have by the force OF
the idea of union drawn to themselves
from time to time larger states ana

ton can in proportion to its size and
population boast of prouder history
and greater benefits to mankind than
