SnhtIe Poison OF lava.

The natives of Java have natural
poison to aid them in avenging them
selves against their enemies. 1t is a
strong fluid found in the bark of the
upas tree. The bark is over an inch
thick and is very spongy. A drop OF
the fluid on the skin causes intense
irritation. A private revenge is salts
fed by hiding cup of this fluid in
the room of the enemy and then the
avenger fees, for well he knows that
by morning his victim will have
crossed the high divide. The fluid
produces stupor, which finally ends in
death

1t has been truly said that the
newspaper man is seldom elected to
office, and If he finds himself at the
"pie counter" 1t Is through the in
fiuence OF his friends whom he has
served in a political way. A. ID.
Campbell for two years editor and
manager OF the Ladysmith News,
whose yitrol pen stirred up much
discord in this city and caused several
libel suits, which are now pending,
has been appointed secretary of the
recently inaugurated immigration
Commission. with a salary of $500
per annum.
Campbell was never rated as a
prosperous man, although his abil-
ity In some directions was not dis
puted. He has always taken an
active interest in the various move
ments for the development of Rusk
county and by his years of experience
in newspaper work is well fitted to
fill the position OF a promoter of the

resided in West Gloucester, Mass,
the parents of a member of one of
Boston's large jewelry firms. After
much solicitation the son finally in
duced his mother to abandon her hum

Christie Drives Auto n Mile in 81
Seconds on ReadviIIe Track.
Special to The Washington Herald.
Boston, Aug. 3L-The one-mile worlds
track automobile record was lowered a
full second at Readville this afternoon.
Walter Christie, in his front drive Van
derbilt car. made the full mile in ffty-two
seconds.
The track was hardly in the best OF
shape for record-breaIdng. as it had not
thoroughly dried out from the rain of the
early morning.
AT about I o'clock Christie made a cir
cult of the oval and then gave the word.
The car seemed to fairly leap over the
ground. swinging around the turns at
tremendous speed. The half was reached
in q seconds. Christie swung rather
wide on the home turn, and crossed the
tape in 50 is seconds.
Another turn of the track and Christie
was off again. He reached the half in
26 seconds, and, husging the fence on
the turn at the beginning of the back
stretch. swung into the homestretch with
the record in his grasp, getting under the
wire in % seconds after the time of his
start. This is a new record for a mile
on the track by one full second and is
several seconds better than has ever
been recorded on the Readville track.

dropped. In spite Of the demand of Judge
lands for an inquiry into the acts Of

principal railroads Of the West and South
which are charged with having given re-
bates to the Standard oil Company.
