not definitely settled. Oviedo. one OF
the early Spanish chroniclerS, says It
was named after n y shaped inStru-
ment which was commonly used AS
snuffing tube. The two pronGs were
placed in the nose, and fumes OF the
powdered leaf were inhaled. This was
called "tobaco," which was the name
given to the plant. On the contrary.
one Of the islands OF the West Indies
Is said to have furnished the name
1t IS asserted that tobacco was first
taken into Spain in 1888 by Fernan-
dez, physician who had been sent
by Philip II. OF Spain to investigate
the products OF Mexico. 1t next

into France by the French ambasSa
dor, Jean Moot. and sent to the Portu-
guese court in 1853. When he re-
turned to his home he presented some
OF the seed and leaves to Queen Cath

name Of the plant was thereafter des-
iCnated as nicotine" in bis honor.

satisfied the authorities that he
was in no way connected with the
crime.
The possession of the revolver, a
80 caliber weapon, is now much
sought for by the state. 1t was
learned today that Joe Conrad, a
woodworker, was sought by the au-
thorities In this connection. Con-
rad, along with Fauchs, bad been a
close companion of Saudawski and
is said to have disposed of gun
since the death of Saudawski. This
point Is now being investigated by
the state Conrads actions on
learning that the murder of Sau-
dawski had become public are said
to have been peculiar. He Is also
said to have given a feast to some
of his friends few days after the
disappearance of Saudawski, and
when asked where he got his
money, told his friends not to mind,
that 1t was all free. The state is
keeping close tab on Conrad, but
does not connect him with the
death of Saudawski.
Mrs. Ida Douglas, employed at
the Lynne hotel, was taken before
the officers yesterday and ques-

everybody shouldn't learn how he
has been restored to sunny dis
position by a new way of taking

Smith, it seems, didn't have
enough of the hopeful germs in his
system that take up the poisons of
the body, and medicine didn't do
him any good. So DR.. c. A. l.. Reed
decided that it was because the
medicine taken on the tongue had
it's properties destroyed by passing
through his stomach, and inserted
tube in his patients abdomen to
get the medicine to the affected
parts direct.
Now Smith pauses once in a
while during his days work to dose
himself through the tube. Then he
corks it up and resumes his bust

disposition he contracted while re-
