4 POISON EPl sODE..
When Famous Chemist Was silenoed
In Court by judge.

IN Court BY : Judge. 0
There was a famous. poisoning case
in England many years ago In which
tie strong point Of the defense was to
show that the accused, who was an
expert chemist, would not have used
poison which could be so easily found
after it had been taken into the hui
man system. Sir Robert CLslsteson,
professor in Edinburgh university. a
famous expert on toxicology. whose
works are still standard on that sub
ject, was put on the stand to prove
this point. When he declared that a
chemist would certainly use some poi
son which would leave no trace, the
prosecuting attorney asked him If he
meant to say that there were such
poisons.
Sir Robert replied in the affirmative.
The prosecutor asked, ''Name them"
"No!' shouted the judge. II forbid
you to answer that question:
In spite of the protests of the prose.
cutor the judge would not allow the
expert publicly to give the name of a
poison which would leave no trace,
and the question remained unan-
sWered.
Now comes the curious part Of the
story. During the next two years Sir
Robert received more than 1000 let
tiers from all parts Of the world ask
ing, begging, Offering to buy, the name
Of the untraceable poison alluded to in
his testimony. Many Of these he kept
as curiosities, showing them to his
friends as evidence Of the depravity Of
human nature. Some Of the excuses
for wanting the name of the poison
were very ingenious One man was
writing novel based on a poison plot
and wanted to make use of the un-
traceable poison idea. He did not
want to give the name Of the poison in
his book, but just wanted to have it
by him In case any scientific critic
should deny the possibility Of such poi
sons, when he could send him the
name in a private letter and quote the
distinguished authority" from whom
it came, etc. Several persons profess
ed to be studying chemistry and asked
for the information on the ground Of
professional courtesy. To all such Sir
Robert would send the advice to pur-
sue their studies and they would soon
know as much about it as he did.
Many offered large sums of money for
the secret, usually pretending they
had bet still larger amounts that they
could find it out in a given time and
were willing to share their profits lib.
orally with Sir Robert.
The thing which most impressed Sir
Robert was the number Of persons all
over the world who seemed DESTROYS
Of possessing the secret of an agent
that would kill, but leave no trace, and
the amazing falsehoods to which they
would subscribe their names in order
to obtain the information 1t is said
that whatever poison Sir Robert had
in mind at the trial he never mention
ed 1t, not even to his classes, so strong
~ was he impressed with the danger
Of letting such thing become matter
of public knowledge.

Working For Victory.

The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee has COM
menced working for a big Democratic
victory in 1910. The work has
commenced a year in advance of
the usual time, but on account of
the Republican tariff fiasco, a
grand victory for 1910 is in sight.
A good start was made by re-
electing Hon. James T. Lloyd, Con-
gresham from the first Missouri
District. as Chairman. Last year,
in spite of the Republican land slide,
a gain of ten Democratic Congress
men was made The committee
will get down to work at once
Headquarters will be kept open at
Washington and it is expected that
an Office will be opened in New
York and Chicago.
Chairman Lloyd is empowered to
fill all vacancies and he has
announced that he will appoint
committees on Fiance, Literature
and Campaign Activities.
If a great victory is not won it
will not be Congressman Lloyd's
fault.

History teaches us that when all
the people of a country are pros
porous and are owners of a reason
able part of the wealth of the coun-
try, that the country is strong, and
that as the wealth of the country
falls into the hands of the greedy,
crafty few the country becomes
weaker and they have always fallen
when a few men own the great per
cent of the wealth. America is
drifting close to this dangerous
rock, and our Republican friends
are steering the country directly to-
ward it and destruction.

School Notes.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July II, 1903
The law does not authorize the
endorsement of a teachers certifi-
cate from another county or state.
The Legislature repealed such au-
thority in 1901, and enacted a Sec
ton prescribing penalty for issu-
ing certificates except on examina-
ton. This is not an opinion Of any
one, but the law. The State Super
intendent of Public Schools has no
authority to grant permission to
endorse certificates or to prohibit
it. The whole matter is governed
by statute.
The ninetieth day after the adj
journment of the Legislature falls
on Sunday, August 18th. The law
providing for county supervision of
schools will take effect Monday,
August 18th, and the county super
intendents can qualify under it on
or after that date by filing a bond,
taking the oath and receiving a
new commission. The salary of the
county superintendent of schools is
based on the population of the
county.
The convention of county super
intendents of public schools will
meet in Jefferson City, Tuesday
August 10, 1909. This is Missouri
Day, the 88th anniversary of her
admission to the Union, an appro-
pirate time to hold an important
educational meeting. This conven
ton will continue in session five
days. Many prominent educators
will be present and join in the dis
cussions.
The new law provides that tn,
county superintendent of schools
shall hold an educational meeting

that unless conditions make anoth

be held August 25th and 18th
