same was bound, and which are on

tents in the proportions prescribed
are perfectly harmless, and under
these circumstan ces no blame can
possibly be attributed to DR.. Mar
cum in connection with this most
unfortunate affair.
Mr.. R. Roberts, the pharmisist in
charge of Mr.. Mayo's drugstore
only while Mr.. Pepple, the regular
pharmisist was absent on his vaca-
ton, and who filled the prescription,
was a registered assistant pharmisist
and he is confident that he filled the
prescription exactly as it was given,
and as shown above. If the
analysis from the State Chemist
establishes that fact no blame can
be attached to anyone.
Thephysicians who testified at the
inquest stated that in their opinion
there were symptoms which might
have been produced by strychnine
poisoning, but not, as heretofore
stated by us, that strychnine poison
ing was the cause of death.
The Coroner's Jury will re-assem-
BILE and bring in it's verdict upon
receipt of the Chemists report, and
in all fairness and justice to the
parties concerned the public should
withhold its judgment until the
entire matter is cleared by satisfac-
tory proof.

The intention of the premium list
committee in offering the last prize
(for best logging team and OUTFIT
was for the purpose of obtaining,
if possible, exhibitions of teams,
with harness, wagon and complete
outfits, to show visitors at the fair
what teamsters in the woods can
produce, and it is certain that sev-
eral of the logging companies here
abouts will see fit to enter their
four-horSe outfits.

STOMACH OF C. AKERBERG
SENT TO STATE CHEMIST
Coroners Jury is Awaiting the Return Of the Analysis
Same Before Bringing in Their Verdict...Will
Probably Be Rendered Next Week.

No word has yet been received
from the state chemist as to what
caused the death of Carl Akerberg,
who died suddenly last Monday
evening under the most distressing
circumstances, and the real cause of
death is still shrouded in mystery.
The coroner, assisted by DR..
Henderson, removed the stomach,
portion of the liver and portion of
a kidney from the body, carefully
sealed the same and shipped it to
thess state chemist at the labratory of
the State University for examination
and report.
The prescription telephoned by
DR.. Marcum to Mayo's drug store,
and as received and filed by them,
is as follows: :.

Her Limit.

The old generation of Galloway lairds were primitive and hospita- ble race, but their conviviality some times led to awkward occurrences. In former days, when roads were bad and wheeled vehicles almost unknown, an old laird was returning from a supper party with his lady mounted behind him on horseback. On crossing the river Urr at ford at point where 1t joins the sea the old lady dropped off, but was not missed until her husband reached his door, when, of course, there was an immediate search made. The party who were dispatched in quest of her arrived just in time to find her remonstrating with the advancing tide, which trickled into her mouth, in these words: "No anither drap, neither het nor cauld."-London Tit-Bits.

kneaded Earth,

Even old Pllng wrote of "pisework, , pronounced 'pee-say-work." It was suggested by the building processes of the ants, and the durable walls made according to those wonderful archi- tects of the insect tribe were called 'formacie." The method was well known to the ancients, and some of the oldest houses in the world today are of this construction. Rondelet writes of a chateau in the department of Ain. France, which he repaired in 1764: "It was at least 150 years old, and the walls had acquired a hardness and compactness equal to ordinary stone, so that in enlarging the windows and oth- CT apertures the workmen used the same tools as in a quarry Pie is simply kneaded earth.

AIue Eyed Babies.

IL Is pity that all babies born WI; the prospect of being adopted out O. an orphan asylum are not blesse, with blue eyes. Most persons w.h wish to adopt children show prefer ence for the blue eyed variety.
 "They seem to think" said the ma, tron of one such institution. that blue eyes give promise of great intelligence, honesty and general stability of char, acter. That is pretty hard on the youngsters with eyes of brown, black gray or hazel. Undoubtedly those chil- dren will grow up to be just as worthy citizens as the blue eyed tots, but 1t iS Impossible to make most of the pro spectiye parents-in-law believe so They have been influenced by the ar guments of certain half baked scien tific writers who claim that all the yir tues are found in blue eyes, and the dark eyed children, no matter what their parentage, suffer from the dis crfmination.

The Old Warminu Pan.

"Yes, that Is a fine specimen of the old brass warming pan." said an anna. teur collector of antiques, quoted by the Philadelphia Record. ''but 1t hangs on the wall from this time on. It will not be brought into requisition for &C., tual warming purposes again. It's too good" Then he added contemplative- ly: My daughter thought 1t would re- new the ancient flavor of things to put that warming pan to use. So on one of the coldest nights of the winter she filled the pan end with live coals. shut the lid and put the pan into one of the beds. In little while the house was filled with smoke, which, on being traced to its origin, was found to come from the bed, which was afre. With a few olden time wood ambers these warming pans were all right, but with live anthracite they simply overdo the job. We put out the fire, but, as say, from this time on the warming pan hangs on the wall empty"

An Old Time Alderman.

Several patrons of the restaurant at Broadway and Tenth street were lunch ing there a few days ago, seated at a table between the corner windows on the second floor which commanded a fine view down Broadway, which makes a sharp turn at Tenth street. Said one of them: Do you know that this bend in Broadway was made in order to save tree? We'll, 1t was. As originally planned, Broadway would have cut slice off the lawn of Hen dirk Brevoort, who ran tavern in the Dutch farmhouse which stood where Grace church now is He was an alderman like many of his profes- sion today. and not only succeeded in saving the magnificent tree in the shade of which his customers fingered over their pipes to watch the traffic on Bloomingdale road, but about 1S40 all so prevented the opening of Eleventh street from Fourth avenue to Broad way, which would have necessitatel the tearing down of his tavern.

The M adricaI.

The word madrigal sounds very formidable to q beginner in music More than once have I heard the ques, tion, What is ] madrigalT' Strictly speaking. q madrigal is an elaborate vocal composition in from three to six parts. generally sung in chorus The melody should not be carried through a single part, but should be dispersed i'll phrases through the different voices in the conversa tional manner peculiar to the music of the sixteenth and sev. enteenth centuries. The true madrigal has no accompaniment. This form of song is considered English. but is thought 10 have had its origin in the Netherlands. The exact derivation of the word is not known. The first madrigals are believed to have been morning songs, shepherds lays or songs in praise of the Virgin.-Circle Magazine

A Very Practical Christian.

A benevolent old man who lived on his farm in Iowa never refused shelter to any who might ask 1t of him. His many friends remonstrated with him about this characteristic, knowing that many interruptions hoboes would avai themselves of the opportunity and that there was great danger of the old man being robbed. To these remon strances the old man replied that he believed in practical Christianity"
 But" said one of his friends, "this seems very impractical. Suppose one of these men took it into his head to rob you one night?"
 My dear young friend" was the re- ply, "I bid all enter in the name of God. but prove my belief in practical Christianity by locking up their pants during the night"

A Words Birthday.

It Is curious to see how a new word extends our vocabulary. For instance. the discovery of photography has led to 234 words being added to the lan- guage. Dr. Murray fixes March IA, 1889, as the birthday of the word pho tography.' It was on that day that Sir John Herschel used 1t in paper which he read before the Royal so- ciety. The new word took root In France, and two or three months later when Argo made his report to the chamber of deputies concerning the pension of M. Daguerre he quoted photographic" as a generally accepted word.
