Government to Stop Importation of Opium

Government to Stop Importation of Opium
The United States internal revenue
officers have taken measures to sup
press the use of opium after the sup
ply on hand is exhausted. The impor-
tation of the drug into this country is
forbidden after the first of April of this
year: The Federal, State and city
officials will hereafter make every effort
to stamp out its consumption The
law against opium importation has had
it's natural effect in causing the price
to soar. 1t is said that pound now
costs 1874, where few weeks ago it
cost but $11. With the date Of the
laws operation, many additional in
spectors and custom officials have been
appointed to guard against smuggling.
1t will not be easy for Chinese to get
opium into this country and it will be
extremely difficult for them to escape
the vigilance of city, state and govern
ment officials, even if they are able to
smuggle in supply. 1t will be hazard
Gus and expensive undertaking for o
smoker to continue his practice. The
law is likely to cut down opium smok-
ing to small per cent of what now
goes on, and to prevent beginners from
learning the habit.

DIR. Hood returned last night from
South Fork, where he went Tuesday to
attend Willie Williams, the young man
who lost his life by an accident in the
mill Tuesday morning.
From DIR. Hood, the writer learned
today that the young man had started
up the mill and was ut work around
the machinery, when his clothing, near
the shoulder, was caught either by a
belt or in the gearing and whirled
around for three or four minutes At
every revolution, his feet would strike
the floor and ceiling of the mill.
Ayounger brother was with him in
the mill and he did his best to stop the
machinery, but three or four minutes
elapsed before he was able to do So.
Willie was released from the machinery
and taken to the house.. where his
sister, Florence, who is trained nurse,
worked with him and did all in her
power to relieve his suffering until the
arrival Of DR.. Hood, .' ''" !
The DR.. made hasty examination of
the young mans injuries, but before he
could do much death claimed his
patient. The Dr. described the injuries
as the worst he had ever seen outside of
a railroad wreck. The flesh and muscle
of the left leg from below the knee were
torn in shreds, the left foot was torn off,
the right foot badly crushed and
mangled, the right arm was broken,
two ribs were broken in the back and
five in front, beside other bruises and
internal injuries. His head escaped
injury.
The remains were brought in last
night and the funeral will take place
from the Presbyterian church at $3.50
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Long Record Of Good Service.

The Rev. DR.. Hiram Bingham is in
America for the third time since he
left the country in 1853 with his wife
as missionary to the Gilbert islands,
and each of his visits has been a
short one. For more than so years
he has labored among the people of
the islands, and to his efforts, and to
those of his wife, now dead, the civil
lization of the savages is due. The
monument which DR.. Bingham has
raised to himself is a translation of
the Scriptures from Hebrew to Gil
5ertese and a complete dictionary Of
the island language. He was SO years
old when he began his task Of trans
lation. The manuscript Of his die
tionary was accidentally lost when
complete and the work had to be done
over again from the first page.

The soda-fountain clerk was en-
gagged In vigorously shaking up choc-

broke in his hands, and the ensuing
deluge made him look like a human

The Mortified customer leaned over
the counter, trying to be sympathetic.
Not knowing exactly what to say, he
finally blurted out: .
"Oh!-er-too bad-did the glass
break?" 49,. ..
Dripping chocolate from head to

One Round Of Holes Breaks 1000 Tons

One of the biggest stunts ever pulled
off in ore breaking anywhere on earth
took place short time ago in the glory
hole of the Montgomery Shoshone, at
Rhyolite, when single shot from
hole drilled by a machine broke in the
neighborhood Of 200 tons of ore. This
feat is announced by the management.
It seemed that the whole south end of
the glory hole took a tumble, in places
sixteen feet inwidth of ore cracking off,
like one immense slab, and falling into
the pit 1t was the most remarkable of
all the ore.breaking records of the
glory hole where several hundred tons
come down now and ,then after round
of shots. Seven bars of bullion, esti-
mated at 800 pounds avoir dupols, were
shipped Saturday by express from the
Shoshone mill. -Rkyolite Herald

on which to hold the woman. But ap.

Prevention of Cruelty to Children, To
have the little girl placed In SONS

The case was first called TO Mr..
HiV's attention last Wednesday, when
the child appealed to him for protec.
ton, saying she was afraid Of her
mother. He promised to investigate
and the child returned home. Later
in the day, the child came back with
her mother and declared that what she
had said first was false. Mr.. Hill thea
consulted a former husband of the
ough investigation.
He went to Mrs. Maedlers apart
ments at No. 121 Bagley-ave.. where
he found the child apparently very
Ill, as a result OF eating pork. the
mother said. A number OF bottles con.
tanning drugs OF various sorts and
colcrs we're found in the place. Mr..
Hill called in the police and Mrs. Maed-
Ter was taken to headquarters. The
police seized the drugs and turned
them over to the city chemist
for analysis.
In the meantime. however. the chilli
recovered rapidly and Mrs Maedler's
release followed. Saturday morning.
Even though the analysis should show
that some OF the bottles contained
poison II could not be used as evil
dence, says Detective Eli Baker. who
worked on the case. The police have
no evidence tending TO connect the
contents OF any Of the phials with the
thild's illness.
However, the police were informed
by other persons living In the house
at No. 121 Bagley-ave., that Mrs. Maed-
Ter was wont to abuse her daughter
and. should the facts warrants such
action, she will probably be deprived
OF the child's custody.
The woman calls herself Maedler
after her second husband, whom. she
declares. she loved best of the six.
Her last appearance In the lime-light
of publicity was In connection with

WABASH bETTERS
Y TRAIN SERVICE
Encouragement of Schedules to
Chicago and St. Louis of Much
Benefit to Business Interests.

Beginning June 20. the Wabash will
inaugurate better train service be
tween Detroit anu st. Louis and De-
troit and Chicago. according to let
ter received Saturday morning by the
Board OF Commerce from President F,
A. Delano. OF the Wabash. This decis
ion Of the Wabash Is the direct result
Of the conference held last Wednes
day between Mr.. Delano and other
Wabash officials and members OF the
Board of Commerce.
The principal Improvement Is that
train No. 10 to st. Louis will leave De-
troit at In the afternoon, instead OF
$3.50, and will reach st. Louis at 1888
a. m. shortening the time an hour
and a half. II means that Detroit
business men will be able to complete
a days work in Detroit. leave here
late in the afternoon and arrive In st.
Louis early the next morning. There
ara many other improvements In SER
vice. including the shortening OF the
running time between Detroit and
Chicago. and shuttle" train service
between Detroit and Adrian. All this
new service for the benefit OF Detroit
means an addition OF $4,000 train
miles per month for the Wabash. The
complete program. as outlined by Mr..
Delano to the Board of Commerce. fol
lows:
No. 13. leave Detroit p. m, arrive
st. Louis, 1888 a, m; No. i, leaving
at 8 a. IN. for Chicago, shortening the
time one hour and Is minutes; No. 3
leave Detroit 1925 p. m. and arrive
nj rhsrarO ,,.tn aarItar a of
present. No. 4. leave Chicago 1904 p.
m, arrive Detroit 1853 p. m, shorten
ing the time So minutes; No. 9, leave
Detroit 2:05 a. m, arrive Chicago $50
q. m, shortening the time 80 minutes;
No. 4 from st. Louis, arrive Detroit
$40. shortening the time 10 minutes.
In addition to the through train SER
vice above mentioned, shuttle train
service will be inaugurated between
Detroit and Adrian. as follows:
No. 81, leave Detroit, 6:45 a. m, ar
rive Adrian, S:45 a. M; No. So leave
Adrian so a. m. arrive Detroit, 1O:45
a. M; No. SO, leave Detroit $3.50 p.
m, arrive Adrian. $50 p. m. No 81.
leave Adrian $50 p. m, arrive Detroit
1925 p. m.
The shuttle trains are all daily. and
make all stops In both directions.
For this consideration the Wabash
naturally expects that the manufac-
turers and shippers Of this city will
avail themselves to a greater extent
OF the excellent freight services pro-
vided by them at the present time.
From all Indications. the present ad-
ministration of the Wabash road Is
endeavoring In every particular to in
crease its efficiency both In freight
and passenger service and this policy
will undoubtedly bring deserved recog-
milton from the public.
