It is reported BY Warden Parmeley
that the health Of the prisoners In
the penitentiary Is unusually good,
and that the prison hospital has not
had an inmate for a period Of about
three months. Out OF total of III
prisoners who are at present serving
terms in the penitentiary, twenty-five
of them are serving life terms. This
percentage is very large.
Inside the prison yard there has
been in course OF construction for some
time the new binder Irvine factory.

an appropriation a couple Of years

MISTAKE IN DRUG FATAL.
Physician Ends Life. With Poison He
Gave Patient,

Did DIR. F. v. Frankenstein take
carbolic acid as the result OF mis-
take in the selection Of remedy for
some ailment Of his own, or did he,
In remorse over the placing Of the
acid, by mistake, In a prescription he
had filled for a young woman, take the
fatal poison with suicidal intent? is
a question to which the answer has
been sealed by the death Of the physi-
clan.
Or. iHSrankenstein has practiced med
icine at Epiphany, in the northern
part Of Hanson county. He was sew
enty years old.
The physician at first was thought
to have been a suicide, but upon an
investigation by the coroner other
facts were brought to light that cast
doubt upon this theory.
The physician was called upon to
prescribe for a young woman on the
morning of his death and he put up
a bottle Of medicine with the usual
directions. The girl attempted to
take dose Of it, but was forced to
stop when it seemed to burn her
mouth. She went back to the physi-
clan and told him she thought that a
mistake had been made in putting up
the remedy. The physician wanted to
prove to her satisfaction that he had
not made mistake and removing the
cork of the bottle, he took a dose Of
the medicine, which he declared to be
all right. To be on the safe side the
doctor poured the contents out Of the
bottle, rehlled the prescription and
gave ito the girl, who, however, did
not take any of the second prescrip-
ton.
It is not known whether the physi-
clan took another dose of the medi-
cine after the young woman went
away, but at noon he complained Of
feeling i'll, and said something to his
son about having made mistake. BY
noon he was unconscious and an hour
after he died. The coroners jury gave
the verdict that the doctor came to
his death as the result of an overdose
of carbolic acid, taken by mistake
Burns were plainly visible in his
mouth and when the stomach was ex-
amined the evidence Of the acid was
strong.
The second prescription put up by
the doctor also contained carbolic
acid.

FIND LOST COPPER BED.
Excitement Is Aroused Over Fresh
Discoveries in Superior,

DtsSoVeTIeS IN superior.
Superior, Wis, Sept. 13.-More ex-
element was stirred up yesterday
over a discovery of copper. Blasting
for a road out on Bardon avenue, on
the Douglas range, the town Of Supe-
rior employees uncovered another lot
of native copper. This is the second
time that this has occurred within
te last few days land there is consid-
cradle interest taken in the matter by
those that have followed the PROPOSE
ton.
1t is now learned that these finds
have been made where, back in 1859,
a settler reported that he had IN
earthed copper. Some years after
ward he tried to find the spot again,
but the brush had grown over it so
that he was unable to show some cap
italists who were investigating where
he had made his discoveries.

evidence, It is alleged he broke down
and confessed, duplicating others In
his operations.
Hilton was employed in the precipi.
tation room Of the Golden Reward.
Some time ago the company began to
suspect : they were losing some Of
their pr, ,-pitates, a form OF black
mud containing the gold values after.
they have passed through most Of the.
forms Of the cyaniding process. Hill.
ton was not suspected until q few
days ago, when he went to Lead and
endeavored to dispose Of some gold
bullion. The chief OF police of that
city heard Of it and informed the com.
pany, when an investigation COM.
menced that ended with Hilton's al.
rest.
Later Hilton, it is claimed, returned
to the company about 5000 worth Of
bullion, which he declared was all that
he had taken. The superintendent,
Henry schnitzel, believes this figure
far too low to cover the alleged theft,
and he says he has learned that Hilton
had several confederates on the out
side, who, as soon as they learned
that the officers were on their track.
left the city.
The precipitates were stolen In the
mill while passing from the zinc to the
lead boxes. 1t was not difficult mat.

day and take 1t home. Hilton, it is al
legged, had erected in one OF the
gulches near town gasoline assay

down the precipitates after they had

It is believed that a conspiracy exist

A number Of warrants are out and

STORY OF. A DOLLAR

Many years ago Kansas farmer
put HIS initials on dollar bill. The
next day he went to the nearest town
and spent 1t with a merchant. Before
the year was out he got the dollar
back. Four times in six years the
dollar came back to him for produce
and three times he heard Of 1t in the
pockets of his neighbors. The last
time he got it back was four years
ago. He sent 1t to mail order
house. He has never seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar
bill will never pay any more school
or road tax for him, will never build
or brighten any homes of the COM
munity. He sent 1t entirely out Of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors. Do not send your
money to mail order houses, but trade
