election was announced to address q
meeting In Yorkshire village well
known to horse dealers and breeders

Poison In tn. middl. Ages,

In the middle ages so little was
known of toxlcology that all sudden
and mysterious deaths were attribut-
ed to poison. but in the light Of mod.
ern knowledge many Of these. says the
British Medical Journal, are now cas-
lily explained by such diseases as ap-
pendicitis and gastric ulcer. Even the
Borgias can be absolved from many
of the poisonings laid to their charge.
Nevertheless from early times In Italy
poison was a favorite means of IRE
moving an enemy. In England,
France and Germany cruder methods
Of vengeance prevailed. and 1t was not
until the sixteenth century that the
Medici introduced poisoning into
France The fashion spread with ter,
rible rapidity. and poison was employ
ed In every rank Of society to get rid
Of inconvenient persons. The art IN
troduced into France by Catherine de-
Nedicl and her followers took root SO
deeply rs TO blossom later into the
black magic Of Louis XIv.'s reign.

At the Right Time.

A number of the trains arriving and
leaving the city are scheduled at just
the right time for the shoppers to
come to the city, do trading and re.
turn on the next train. All roads into
the city have such arrangements. The
Rock Island arrives at 1890 from the
east and goes back at 4:10. The c.,
b. & Q. has two trains which the
shoppers can use, the one at 1915
from the east which leaves at $40,
and the one from Tracy which arrives
before noon and leaves about 300 in
the afternoon. The Iowa Central has
two on its road, the one from the
south at 6;55 in the morning which
returns at $50 at night, and the one
from the north at LIS a. M. and re-
turning at 2:55 in the afternoon. All
OF these trains allow plenty of time in
this city to do Christmas shopping.
