SAVED BY TURPENTINE OIL.
Efficient as an Antidote in Case of
Carbolic Acid Poisoning.

London News.-A remarkable dis
covery has apparently been made by a
Dublin veterinary surgeon named
Allen respecting an antidote for car,
bolic acid poisoning.
Some time ago his attention was
drawn to two horses which were evi.

second horse a dose, although at that

about ten minutes it recovered, and
both horses were at work the next

Not long after this, by a peculiar
coincidence, Mr.. Allen was asked TO

SWIMMERS TO HUG SHORE.
Veteran Teacher Says the Bathers

in the world and man must be well
used to it. No matter whether he

Every muscle is used when a man
is swimming, many of them that are

many fellows get into trouble every

Should remember. There has been
so much said and written about
cramps that people are scared to

Cramps are brought on by swim

on stop using the leg or arm where it
Is located If you turn over on your
back and float awhile that will give
the cramp a chance to go away, but
even If it doesn't it won't prevent You
from swimming slowly and getting to
shore.
Most people think cramp spreads
until it goes all over the

This isn't SO. II is always CON

HAYS STAND ON CoNTRABAND.


The definition of contraband of war, as it is re-
garded by the department Of state Of the United
States government, has been officially concurred in
by the British government and heartily praised by
the press of London says the Butte Inter Mountain
The statement from Secretary Hay given out on
Monday will go far to bring clear understanding
OF the subject to the minds Of the powers. Mr. HAY
points out that Russia in former treaties was as
anxious to exclude from the contraband list coal and
other commodities as she now is to include them.
The line must be drawn somewhere and it would ap-
pear that England and America have drawn it. The
Knight Commander incident, moreover is far from
settled, although an amicabe understanding is now
almost certain in the course Of the consideration Of
the ease by the special prize court Great Britain has
asked Russia to call at St. Petersburg, the lines Of
eontraband will doubtless be well defined and un.

The case of Harry Hogue, " the young man who
confesses to having held up resident of this city,
and who is now in prison awaiting trial charge
that will certainly carry with it long term in the
penitentiary, presents unique phase Of criminol-
ogy. The robber AYERS he held up the man for the
purpose of securing money that he might go back
to his mother, who had sent for him. Taking his
story as true, we have here lad whose love for
his mother prompted him to turn hghwayman. 1t
is difficult to reconcile the two traits in any man.
As rule, the lad who bears so great love for his
mother will not hold up people in the dead of the
night and relieve them of their valuables, and
usually the holdup artist is not oyerburdened with
pure sentiment "Hogue's" story does not sound
well Twenty years Imprisonment is the maximum
penalty for his crime, and it is quite evident that
the court will afford him an excellent opportunity to
reflect upon the error to which he committed him
self when he pointed his gun at the head of the
citizen and commanded him to hold up his hands.

A SAVAGE ATTACK.
Portland oregonian Assails President
Smith Bitterly.
fPortIand Orego..lan.l

The unblushing effrontery with which
the hoary-headed president OF the Nor
mon church admits his defiance of the
law that 10rbids polygamy; his attitude
toward the women who, under the sham
title of wives. are his cOncubines, and
toward the children whom he has
stamped with the stigma or illegitimacy-
boldly. knowingly, lewdly. defiantly-is as
amazing It is Indecent. II may yet
go hard with Senator SmOot to have
this contumacious violator of law appear
as his champion. or even as the eXpon-
ent Of the religion and head of the church
to which he owns allegiance. The pub
lie insult that Joseph F. Smith has added
10 the lifelong injury that he has in
flicted upon the five wives" that he
has held in subOrdinatiOn to his will
through twenty years OF criminal assOci-
alton makes a poor showing under the
name of protection. which he gives
as his excuse for thus holding them con-
trary to law and public morals. The
story of ''Wife No. 19' made good fam
lily reading as compared with the dis
closure of the domestic affairs OF Presi-
dent Joseph Smith. and Yet all Mormon
dom assailed II as a slanderOus attack
upon the church and its then president
Brigham Young. Il may be hoped that
the law he has defied will yet give this
culprit taste of its penalty.
