No Boil weevil in This State.

A dispatch from Washington says: The recent interview of Charles P. McLane of the agricul- tural department, sent out from Knoxville, is discredited at the ag- ricultural department so far as off cial reports show. In this inter- view Mir. McLane said the cotton boil weevil was doing great damage in the western part of Arkansas. Local cotton men do not appear to be alarmed over the report, but nevertheless measures will be taken to prevent the introduction of the pest into this state.

POISONED BY
CANNED SALMON

Several cases of ptomaine poisoning
have been reported this week and all
are believed to be due to the eating of
canned salmon. One physician has
three cases under his care and from
the diagnosis made he is Of the opinion
that canned salmon is the responsible
agent, although one case of sickness
he believes TO be due to the eating of
a cream cheese which recently came
from the coast.
Prof Shorey, chemist for the Board
OF Health, has not discovered any bad
salmon recently, no suspicious meats
having been brought to him for exam
ination. About three weeks ago DR..
Wood treated a patient for ptomaine
poisoning, and learning that the pa
uent had been eating canned aspara-
gus which had been sold at auction, a
sample Of the food was taken to DR..
Shorey, who reported it to be bad.
Upon his order the remainder of the
asparagus, which had recently been
sold at auction but not delivered, was
seized and destroyed.

CHAPTER II.
ON THE BANKS OF THE MoHoN-
DAGA.

Rossiter's rest was broken the next
morning by the rattle and creak of
hand-truck on the boards above his
head. Through the open space be-
tween the ground and the floor of the
freight car just in front of him he
could see the sunlight cleaning upon
the rails, and SO knew that it was
broad day. Commonly, on awakening,
he was in no haste to be stirring,
but on this occasion he displayed an
ususual activity. Almost as soon as
he realized that the wonted round of
busy men had begun, he sat up,
shook the dirt from his bundle and
from his clothes, and crept from his
shelter. Crawling under the freight
car, so that no one about the freight
house should see him and suspect
him of mischief, he stepped off brisk
ly rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
The air was still fresh with the
cool of the dawn, but the sun was
peering blear and red through the
haze that curtained the heavens, and
there was every indication OF an
other sweltering day. On glancing

tion. He was wont to tell himself
at times that he had had hard luck,
but when he faced the cold truth he
knew in his innermost soul that luck
had played no part whatever in his
descent of the ladder of respectable
ity. Never more clearly than at this
moment, amid surroundings long
ago familiar, did he realize what an
utter wreck he had made of his life.
But he put on the devil-may-care air
he was at intervals accustomed to
assume and slouched across the
tracks in the direction of the station.
"What hour can it be?" he NUT
tered. Rather late, I judge, by the
fact that there are so few people
about"
There was man standing in the
open station doorway whom Rossiter
took, from his dress, to be either a
ticket agent or conductor. He had
his watch in his hand.
''Will you be kind enough to tell
me the time?" Rossiter asked.
The railroad man opened his lips
as though he were about to answer,
but as he glanced at his questioner,
astonishment seemed to choke his ut
