ADJUDGED INSANE.
Dentist Recently Arrived Here Driven
Mad BY Cocaine Habit.

In the county court yesterday Dr.
T. T. Cater was adjudged insane and
ordered confined in the Southwestern
Insane Asylum at San Antonio. DR.
Cater arrived in this city several
weeks ago from Southwest City. Mo-,
for the purpose of engaging in the
practice of dentistry. From the tes-
timony brought out yesterday, it ap-
pears that the cocaine habit is res
ponsible for the reinforcement of his
reason. Since coming here. he has
become raying and dangerous man.
lac About ten days ago, the doctor
became more violent than usual, and
the neighbors were called in by Mrs
Cater. who had become very much
alarmed and feared for her life, They
in turn were forced to secure the help
of several MeXicans and it required
the combined efforts of all before
they succeeded in subduing the I'M
fortunate man. whom they were COM
PEELED to tie with ropes While it
was proved that Dr. Cater had been
subject to violent attacks of insanity
before now, he had not been consid-
cred dangerous until recently. when
the violent attacks became more fire.
quent He will be confined in the
county Jail until such a time as he
can be taken to an insane asylum.
Mrs. Cater left this morning for her
former home in Southwest City. Mo-

EXHIBIT OPENS
FIRST LECTURE GIVEN BY DIR.
PECK THIS AFTERNOON.
Exhibit Includes Charts and Speci-
mems Showing How Disease is
Spread, Prevention and the Proper
Method of Treating tuberculosis.

The tuberculosis exhibit that is to
be given here the balance of this
week by DR.. l.. H. Peck, under the
auspicies of the state board of health
opened this morning and the first
lecture was delivered my DR.. Peck at
2 o'clock this afternoon. The doctor
was unable to give an exhibit last
night owing to his outfit arriving so
late in the day and for the further
reason that at the last moment it was
decided to hold the exhibit at the
city hall instead of at the San Roman
building as announced yesterday
From to p m. the doctor lee
tured to the school children. At 8
this evening he Will deliver another
lecture, and this will be the pro-
gram each day during his stay here.
The exhibit is a very comprehen-
sive one. consisting of charts that
give figures on consumption, more
especially in New York where the ex-
hibit was secured. The charts also
illustrate the cause of the spread of
the disease, the proper measures to
prevent its spread, explain the means
necessary in the treatment and cure
of the disease the kind of food for a
consumptive and illustrate the SANTA
ton of the room of a tuberculosis
patient. In addition to his lecture,
the doctor and his assistant explain
the exhibit and are at all times ready
and willing to answer questions.
DR.. Peck has been in Texas since
last September. giving exhibits and
lecturing on tuberculosis. In over six
months time he has covered barely
one-tenth of the state He says it is
the intention of the health depart
ment to make these exhibits perman-
ent and that another exhibit similar
to the one he has here is being pre-
pared and will be put OH he Dad
in this state in a few weeks
The exhibitions and lectures are
free and are not only interesting and
instructive. but should be of the
greatest value in educating the Deo-
pie as to the dangers of tuberculosis,
and the methods of preventing and
curing the disease

This is equivalent to two years supply. The annual copper consump- tion of the Massachusetts Electric Co.'S is about 5OO,0 1000 pounds. The motive of these two traction companies in buy ing copper ahead is that they are both persuaded that copper prices are on bottom and that the carrying charge will be much more than offset by the future advance in the price of the metal. It is estimated that the cost of carrying this copper will not exceed B. of cent per pound for two years. Copper Era.
