CARBOLlC ACID.

Peculiar Effect Pure Alcohol Has on
This Irritant Poison.
One of the most frequent irritant
poisons used for suicidal purposes is
carbolic acid, and a more agonizing
death could not be selected. Why
any one should select this poison II Is
hard to understand unless on account
of the fact that it is cheap and easily
obtainable. This form OF poisoning
can usually be easily recognized by
the odor, which is well known, and
by the white burns or marks on the
lips and mouth, which are typical OF
carbOlic acid poisoning.
Send for the nearest physician, and
in the meantime, as carbolic acid kills
quickly, the first aid treatment must
be prompt in order to get results. II
possible cause the patient to vomit by
giving an emetic, such as ipecac or
salt and water, a tablespoonful 20 a
pint of warm water. This, however,
frequently fails TO work on account
of the irritated condition of the mu-
cous membrane of the stomach. One
Of the best chemical ant1dotes is ep-
som salt in solution. Another good
chemical antidote is alcohol, the only
trouble with this remedy being that
it cannot be given in a pure form. II
has to be diluted with water and for
that reason loses it's efficacy.
Just exactly why alcohol counter
acts the effect OF carbolic acid is not
known. but II, for instance, carbolic
acid is splashed on the hands and they
are at once immersed in absolute alco-
hol there will be no resulting burn

Maynard Girl Returned Home
Rebecca Edith Bunze who was ar
rested here by Detective Bishop upon
information issued by the Clinton
county authorities, for running away
from her home in that city with
man giving his name as William
Chase, was returned to her home last
night. Chase has been locked up by
the authorities in Clinton and will
be held for trial, but upon what
charge he will be held has not yet
been decided. The story told by the
girl is an appalling one and hardly
believable. She is not yet 6 years
of age, not reaching that age until
next fall. She told Police Matron
that she had known Chase about
three years and that her mother was
thoroughly familiar with the condi-
tons which existed in the little pow
erty stricken home in Clinton. Chase,
II is alleged. had been staying at the
Bunze home at divers times and Civ
ing the oldest girl of a family OF
seven children money and trinkets
and that, although not married, he
had been making the outward pre-
tense that the girl was his wife. This
state of affairs, the girl said, had
been going on for about two years.
The family is poor and in destitute
condition and the county furnishes
part OF the support received by the

/ Fearson's Petition Thrown Out
Names of only 81 candidates for COM
missioner will be placed on the ballot
for the primary election Feb. 2S,
I though IS candidates filed petitions.
! The petition filed by John Pearson
has been declared defective by the
city clerk and it will be placed in the
discard. In presenting his petition to
the voters, Pearson gave his residence
as the basement of 1929 Third avenue.
He circulated only one petition. Pear
sons candidacy was evidently consid-
cred a burlesque by those who were
asked to sign the petition Some OF
the signatures are: B. Bush, 1913
avenue; Stats Peterson, Third street
and Fourth avenue; Bill Spivins, Sixth
avenue. Another signer whose name
could not be deciphered, gave his ad-
dress as 400 666 avenue. A number of
the signatures were not legible. 1t is
said that Pearson is much chagrined to
think that his name will not appear on
the ballot and he has announced that
he will circulate another petition, des-
pite the fact that time for filing has
passed.

Jail for Disturbing MeetIng.-Hjal
mar Lundberg, who came here three
or four days ago from Chicago, will in /
the future, it is presumed, have a
respect for Salvation Army (
meetings in this city. Lundberg imag .
ined that he knew more about how to
conduct a Salvation army meeting than .
the leader Today he is repenting his .
rashness. Lundberg attended a meet
ing Sunday evening and persisted in .
He disturbed the leader and
was cautioned to be quiet, but as he
was from a big city he thought that
he could run things with high hand.
Growing desperate the leader left the
hall and summoned an officer. but be-
fore the bluecoat reached the scene,
Lundberg bad decamped. But he was
elated over his performance and he re
turned to the hall last evening. He
disturbed the meeting again with his
loud talking. The leader argued with
Lundberg. but the man refused to be
luieted signal from the leader and
one of her assistants left the hall and
soon reappeared with an. officer. Lund-
berg was marched to police headquar
ters. When arraigned in police court
Jundberg was much meeker than the
night before. He was charged with
a religious meeting. He ex-
planned that he had always talked in
Salvation Army meetings in Chicago
and he supposed that he could do the
same here. He was informed that
Moline is more than $50 miles from
Chicago and that such behavior is not
tolerated here. Lundberg was fined
$3.50 and he will spend the greater
portion of what remains of the winter
season behind the bars in the Rock
Island county bastile.
