Four Year Terms.

The Nevada Mail says; In Bates
county one term for a four year coun-
ty office has become an unwritten
law, and 1t is held sacred by the al.
most unanimous consent OF voters.
Long lease OF official life. Bates coun-
ty voters contend, breeds contempt
among the holders and has a tend.
ency TO corruption In high places.
Besides, it keeps good, competent,
deserving men out OF official place,
to which they are in every way as
much entitled as those who are gorg-
ing themselves with official gain.
Rotation in office has worked we'll in
Bates county. 1t has stopped deep
seated greed for the beet offices OF the
county, honored more men with
place, strengthened the Democratic
party, and, because OF more frequent
final settlements, has protected the
county against loss by deialcations."

ministered to him. The shaggy,
long-robed pope has come, and the
gear is laid ready; but ere he will get
to bis work and unburden the poor
soul he will have an enhanced price
for it. The wife OF the dying man
comes from the side OF the aqualid
bed and pleads with him. He leers
and is obdurate. Then son will
compel him, and they fight about the
room, while the shaking patient
stares from his pillow. The priest
seizes the bread and tries to break it,
for broken bread may not be blessed,

the little loaf crumbles at last, and
the sick man closes his eyes with a
sigh OF despair, awaiting death and

Ptomaine Poisoning in
Berries Caused Death.

Carthage, Mo-, June 1O.-Ptomaine
poisoning from eating Strawberries
caused the death Of Mrs. George g.
Buckyell q this city. This Is the
verdict Of the Coroner announced TO-
day.
Mrs. Blackwell, who was q promin-
emit society woman here, died very
suddenly about ten days ago. Her
case was OF particular interest to
local scientists In that while she
seemed to have suffered strychnine
poisoning there was none OF the drug
: to be found In the stomach.
A post-mortem was held and the
stomach was removed and sent
to Jersey City for analysis. The
Coroner's verdict is in accordance
with the finding Of the New Jersey
scientists who say that effects ol
ptomaine poisoning from eating
Strawberries are very similar to
those attending death from strych-
nine. A thorough chilling OF the
berries removes the possibility OF
poisoning.
