The First Use of Napkins.

A French writer who evidently was
conservative and did not welcome the
napkin kindly records with scorn:
THE napkin is placed under the
chin AMI fastened in the back, as if
one We're going to be shaved. A person
told me that he Wore his that way
that he might not soil his beautiful
frills."
1t was difficult matter to tie The
two corners III the back. and il is said
for straitened circumstances. hard to
make both ends meet" This custom
led TO the habit Of the table walters Of
carrying a napkin on the left arm.

Promptly came the reply
WHY WE TREMBlE.
The Nerve ActiOus superinduced by
Cold, Fear apd Anger.


Cold, Fear apd Anger.
Cold. by stimulating the sensory
nerve BINDINGS in the skin, produces u
corresponding irritation in the brain
motor ccnters and by contracting the
blood vessels in the skin produces 81
temporary excess of blood in the brain.
This interfercs with the steady flow Of
nerve force tn the muscles, so that the
spasmodic action of these nerve cur
rents produces the trembling due to
cold.
OF trembling from fear or anger Oar
win gives this explanation: Men dur
ing long generations have endeavored
to escape from their enemies by fight
or violent struggling. These cause
breathlessncss AMI trembling of the
muscles. Whenever fear is felt the
same results tend to appear through
the force of inheritance and association.
Just as furious rage leads persons to
make violent attacks on the object Of
their resentment, so in milder cases.
though no such attack may be made,
the beginning of violent eIertlon -
namely, trembling OF the muscles
tends to show itself. But the chief
cause of trembling from fear or anger
il. according to the same authority,
| the interruption or disturbance of the
| transmission OF nerve force from the
ccrcbro spinal system. due to mental
agitation. Why or how these emotions
affect the cerebro spinal system
through the mind in this way is not

Generous Deed Of Elks.
C.. w. POST.

Through the generosity OF the
Bridgeport lodge Of Elks, Peter Mar
koon of Wallingford, Conn, will profit
by the unfortunate accident which he
met with while witnessing the Elks'
banner raising. A runaway horse ran
him down and d%islocated his collar
bone.
The bone was not fractured as at
first reported. Markoon was here
looking for work, and when the Elks
heard that he had a wife and family
dependent upon him for support they
sem a committee out to investigate.
Markoon, as a result, was sent back
to Wallingford to-day, after the Bridge
port lodge of Elks had paid his medical
expenses, secured his ticket, given him
money for incidental expenses, and
told him to calculate upon s. per week
for the next four weeks.
The Elks went further. They noti-
fed the Wallingford lodge to take are

ployment. MarkoOn is not a member
of the order, never was, and the Elks
were not in any way liable for the &C.

KILLED IN A

FEDERAL COURT BAiLlFF AT

THREATS MADE AGAINST Nm
THE POLICE BELIEVE THEY HAVE
THE MAN WHO DID THE
SHOOTING.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 26.-Henry ]. Cal
lahan, bailiff of the federal court, a
pioneer placer miner and we'll known
citizen of Butte, was shot twice and
almost instantly killed last night after
a desperate duel with six-shooters
with a man whom the police believe to
be Miles Fuller. Fuller is now in the
county Jail and denies all knowledge
of the tragedy.
Fuller is alleged to have made the
threat that callahan would be in his
coffin before next Christmas eve.
Neighbors heard a fusilade of shots,
and rushing to the scene found Gala
han dying, half of

by a ~Iarge-caliber bullet fired at close
range. Another bullet had entered his
left eye. BY the dead mans side lay
his empty six-shooter.
Willie Simmons, a small boy, saw
the beginning of the duel and gave the
officers a description of the murderer.
A month ago an attempt was made
to poison Callahan by putting a guam
tity of strychnine in his coffee. Gala
han found his home broken into, and
detecting a bitter flavor in the coffee

was wrong. He gave his dog some OF
the beverage, which killed the animal
in a short time. Investigation by
chemists disclosed the presence of
enough strychnine in the coffee to
kill a dozen men. Fearful of an at
tempt being made to kill him while he
slept Callahan kept the doors in his
home constantly barred, using a side
window as a door.
Many years ago Callahan caught
Fuller in the act of robbing the placer
gold boxes and thrashed him.

SAVES SELF EY KILLING PURSUEF
Barkeeper Fires Upon Assailant With
Club,

CrOokston, Mimi, Oct. 26. - Nels
Orvik was shot and killed in Henry
Castles saloon at Beltrami yesterday
afternoon by the bartender, John Moe
of this city. Sheriff Sullivan and Cor
oner Chesterman drove at once to
Beltrami, twenty-five miles south OF
here, and Moe was brought here on
the evening train to the county Jail.
The coroner impanelled a jury, viewed
the remains and postponed the in
quest until to-day, when the two prin-
cipal witnesses, who reside nine miles
distant in the country, could be sum-
moned.
According to the best information
obtainable, Orvik accused Ed Ham
cry of Liberty Of stealing $3.50 from
him and tried to pick a fight. Moe in
terfered and stopped the trouble. The
quarrel started again and Moe inter-
fered a second time, after Orvik had
started toward Hamrey with a chair.
Orvik turned on Moe, and after chas-
ing him about the room, threw the
chair at him, smashing it to pieces.
Moe ran out of the building and was
pursued by Orvik, armed with a piece
of the chair. Moe lodged into the
saloon and slammed the door, but the
spring lock failed to work. Ovik
smashed the glass in the door and pur-
sued Moe behind the bar, threatening
to kill him. Moe grabbed the gun on
the back bar and shot low, he says,
aiming at his assailant's legs. The

Orvik died in fifteen minutes. Moe re-
fused to talk. His relatives, aside from
one brother, Ben, living here, reside in
La Crosse, Wis. He has always borne
an excellent reputation and public
sympathy is with him. Orvik is single
and resides near Fertile. He owned
property in Beltrami. He was quarrel
