Poison ivy, which nearly every one real
ICES is a dangerous vine, has three leaves on
one stem. If people knew the vine they
naturally would avoid coming in contact
with it, as it is poisonous. However, only
in certain time OF the summer is this true.

vines many times when l was a boy and

There are about two months when it is

If any man needs better wages and
shorter hours it is the drug clerk. A drug
clerks association would go a great way
toward rcmedying this, but time and again
has this been tried.
The clerks at one time had an organiza-
ton going at fair headway when some one
disappeared with greater part of its funds.
This discouraged the clerks and now it
is very hard to get them together.
II these clerks could be organized it
would mean more pay and shorter hours,
which are what they deserve.
This would benefit the people in general.

with a shotgun and she with a re-
volver. has had fatal ending. Dr.
B. Templin Smith died here from
wounds inflicted by Mrs. Smith in the
duel on the morning Of September 25.
| The sensational story was brought
out before the coroner's jury and Mrs
Smith was held responsible for her hus-
bands death. 1t was through her tes-
kimony that the story came to light.
, There had been a quarrel over q
match and the building Of kitchen
fire. The physician slapped his wife
and when she protested against such
treatment. he commanded her to get q
weapon.
Get your gun, I'll get mine and
well shoot this out right here" he
cried
They met. both armed, in hallway
of the residence. Whether the doctor
tried to use his shotgun has not been
brought out in the testimony. Mrs.
Smith fired twice and her husband
staggered to his room. where she fol-
lowed. The woman knelt by his side
on the floor and cried, my God, I had
to do it, Then she says he asked
her to "go ahead and finish him."
The district attorney formally
charged Mrs. Smith with manslaughter.
She was arraigned for bail. Just be-
fore his death DR.. Smith made
statement to the district attorney. This

GIN RICKEYS CAUSE
woe FOR PREACHER
Quaker City Parson Is Likewise
Accused of Attending I'm
proper Shows.

Philadelphia. Oct. 8.-Members Of the
special judiciary commission appointed
to take evidence in the case OF the
Rev. DR.. William H. Pheley, charged
with drinking gin rickeys and with
visiting burlesque theater, have spent
many hours in their deliberations with
out concluding the hearing. An MEM
bers of the commission and lawyers
on both sides were pledged to secrecy
concerning the transactions during the
trial, but at the time of adjournment
the attitude OF the jurors and OF the
accused minister himself did not seem
to indicate that a verdict Of guilty
would be Forthcoming. 4
Doctor Pheley was formerly pastor
Of the Huntington Valley Presbyterian
church, and at the time the accusa-
tons of misconduct were lodged against
him he was secretary of the interde-
nominational Brotherhood of Andrew
and Philip. From this latter position
he resigned as soon as the charges
were aired. Eh
These charges set forth that detec-
tives traced the minister to saloons,
saw him drink gin rickeys and later
on saw him visit the Trocadero bur-
1esque house. Doctor Pheley has adj
mitted that the charges, as above OUT
lined, are true, but he declared that
he drank the gin rickeys as a medicine
and that he went to the burlesque show
to gather sociological data. ~

SOME men IN MINE
CERTAIN. OF RESCUE
Fans Put in Operation Give Re-
lief to Imprisoned Victims
Of Explosion.

Starkvilie, Cole. Oct. 12.-High hops
spread over this stricken mining camp
this morning when news was brought
out Of the Starkville mine, where two
score of miners are entombed from an
explosion last Saturday, that fans pro-
viding pure air to the mine had been
put in operation systematically and
that the imprisoned men would I'M
doubtedly be located within the day
unless efforts of rescuers were fur
Their blocked by the wreckage.
This information was given out off,
cially by State Mine Inspector John
e. Jones. Jones based his opinion upon
the fact that double force for driving
out the bad air In the mine had been
successfully effected through the sta
tioning Of the portable fan well with
I'm the short cut of the Starkville mine,
while the fan in the main entrance to
the Engleville mine had been reversed
and both were working together upon
the same objective.
