False Teeth Kills Durham wem.n.

Durham, n. C., Jan. ga set
of false teeth caused the death OF
Mrs. j. 7. johnson, q patient in Q
hospital here today. She was get
ting along well toward recovery
when she strangled to death by swal-
lowing a small plate on which there
were false teeth.
Mrs. johnson underwent an oper
alton at the hospital here three
weeks ago aud was recovering rap
Idly, being entirely out of danger.
She was seen by her physician this
morning, who had just left her
when he was called from another
ward by the nurse and hurried to
Mrs. johnson.
The physician says there was every
evidence Of strangulation, and asked
If she had false teeth The nurse
told him she had and the doctor 10
Gated the teeth In her throat. The
plate was removed as quickly as pos
sib.e but life was extinct. The ply
stefan said she either stTangled to
death or ruptured blood vessel in
her effort to remove the plate. The
small plate fitted fatty ouer the wind
pipe.
There were but few minutes be
tween time when the doctor left her
and she was found dying She left
a husband and several children.

Our Magisterial system Rotten.

Whether or not the legislature
should be deprived of the right TO
appoint is another question. All too
often, as has been pointed out, men
totally anfit for the high and respon-
sible position of magistrate are cho-
sen and there is no relief for the
community he represents if the
power of appointment is destroyed
The clerk Of the court may appoint
only to fill vacancy cause by resig-
nation or death.
Anyhow, our present system is
not only Anticipated but altogether
faulty, and should be either wiped
out or carefully reconstructed -

Man Swallowed HE Own Brain

Decatur, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-"Death
from swallowing his own brain" was
the verdict rendered yesterday by a
coroner's jury at the inquest over
the body of George E. Thomas, an
Illinois Central brakeman, who was
injured by falling into some pump
ing machinery.
The base of Thomas skull was
broken in such way that the mans
brains oozed down into his throat
and he swallowed them. After re-
peating the swallowing at intervals
for several hours, during which
nearly all his brains had oozed
through the aperture in the skull,
Thomas died.

Statesville, n. c., Jan. 26.-The
name Of Joseph T. Cowan has been
the principal town topic since Thurs
day night. A few days ago Harry
Burke received subpoena summon
ing him TO Dallas, Tex, charged
with using the United States mail to
defraud.
Yesterday Mr.. Burke received a
telegram from the district attorney al
Dallas, stating that Cowan had shot
himself, and that it was not neces-
sary for him to come. The tele-
gram did not state that COwan was
dead, but it is supposed that he is,
and that he committed suicide.
The people of Iredell are very ia
miliar with the name of Cowan. He
is the man that for years worked &c
many people in Iredell and the
Whole country for large sums Io1
money, on account of an alleged es
tate of millions of dollars in New
York that he was going to distribute
among the heirs of Henry Harris
field. Many Of the heirs in Iredel
believed in Cowan, and let him
have money with which to recover
the millions in New York; and il
was on this indictment that he wa
to be tried.
