Medical Use Of Whisky.
From the Hospital.

Whisky as an alternative to wine may
undoubtedly be employed incidentally with
advantage In certain cases. both for men
and for women. But this is very dinerent
from the constant Recommendation wnicn

whisky as a sort Of panacea for every dis
ease under the sun, and~take a perfect de-
light in urging its consumption upon their
nsfienfs. "A a matter Of fact. there never

The county court has been in

summoned 10 attendance. Most
OF the time was taken up with try
ing two cases against the English
Lumber Company to recover
money chad and received" Two
divorce cases were tried.

divorce from John Smeltzer or the
ground that the latter had com.
mitted felony and was now con
fined in the penitenriary at Canon

The case OF "Joe" Rizzuto VS..
X. w. English Lumber Company
was tried Wednesday, the plaintiff
seeking to recover the sum OF 5000
loaned in August, 1903, on q note
given by A. w. English, the latter
signing the company name as
agent. Fred A. Ssbin appeared
for the plaintiff and George c.
Manley for the defendant. The
defendant claimed that A. w.
English, as agent, had no author
ity to borrow money on the com
pany name, aud that the company
knew nothing OF the transaction
until January. 1904. at which time
A. w. English was deposed as
agent. There was no evidence on
the books OF the company OF such
transaction, and II the money
was borrowed II was to cover
shortage Of the agent OF which the
company had no knowledge. The
books showed that he should have
balance on hand. Evidence was
introduced showing that the money
was deposited in the La Junta
State Bank to apply on an over
draft OF over 5000, and the plaintiff
contended that as the money was
used IN the regular course OF busi-
ness the company was liable
whether the agent was authorized TO
borrow money or not. The jury
returned a verdict giving a judg-
ment in favor OF the plaintiff for
the full amour. OF the note with
interest, amounting to S374 SIS.
I Notice OF appeal to the district
court WAS gwen.
The case Of Amanda Hireen VS.
K. w. English Lumber Company
was of a similar nature. During
the month of September. 1909,
A. w. English, as agent for the
K. w. English Lumber Company,
borrowed $500 of Mrs. Hireen,
giving a note for that amount and
signing the company name, with
A. w. English as agent. The
company had no knowledge of this
transaction and refused payment.
The money was deposited in the
bank to the credit of the Eng
lish Lumber Company, the same
as in the previous case. The jury
returned verdict giving Mrs.
Hireen a judgment for SSoo. S.,
the amount Of the note with
interest from the time demand for
payment was made. In this case

such as carnations, Roman hya-

Texas, Times Clarion contained the
following report of an acetylene gas
explosions:
Last Saturday night at 1880 quite
an excitement was created at the
business establishment of F. r.
Rembert CO., in this city caused by
two explosions of gas at the acety-
lene plant of the firm. 1t seems
that the ianitor, Joe Saddler, had
gone to the machine after dark to
make some investigation, and in
doing so removed and misplaced a
tap. The removal OF the tap per-
mitted the gas to escape into the
room. In bis endeavor to find the
tap the negro struck match. which
ignited the gas, causing a loud re-
port and singing the janitor con-
siderably. In his effort to prevent
the escape of more gas the ianitc-
used other methods to close the
aperture, which were unavailing, as
the confined gas forced it's way out

MORGAN HAS PRESENTED
COPE TO ITALY.
Ecclesiastical Garment which Has
Been the Cause of So Much Talk.

Ecclesiastical Garment which Has
Been the Cause of So Much Talk.
New York, Nov. 12.--All speculation
as to what would be done with the
cope of Ascot is ended by J. Pierpont
Morgan himself. who has presented It
to Italy through Baron Edmondo des
Planches, ambassador to the United
States.
This ecclesiastical garment, en-
broldered with gold and studded with
precious stones, was given 20 the Ca
thedral Of Ascoli In 1858 by Pope Mich
olas Nv. 1t remained there until two
years ago, when It was taken away
and sold to Mr.. Morgan, who believed
the person from whom he purchased II
had the right to make the sale. The
amount which he paid for IT was never
announced. but the value of the gar
ment is said to be not far from 10000.
Mr.. Morgan lent the cope for ex-
hibition purposes to the Victoria and
Albert museum, In South Kensington,
England, where It is at present. AL
though there have been intimations In
the last two months that he was 10
send back the cope his decision was not
reached until this month. He presents
the cope Internationally 20 Italy, al
though an offer was made TO meet any
condition ne chose to name and a pop
ular subscription had been started ir
| Italy TO reimburse him.
