HIS DRAMATIC ALIBI.
Il Cleared the Accused, but Furnished
an ODD Sequel.


A highly respectable gentleman
arrived at York one evening with
luggage and dined well, went to bed
early, rose in good time and had a
substantial breakfast. After this
meal he casually asked the landlord
if there was anything Of special in
terest in York. "The assizes are on,
but l do not know if there is any
thing particularly interesting in the
list" was the response.
"Thanks," drawled the stranger.
'1'll look in if 1 happen to pass the
court and see"
He did look in and heard a fol-
lower of Dick Turpin in the dock,
charged with highway robbery,
pleading his innocence vehemently
to a stolid judge and jury, who, with
firm faces, did not look as if they
placed much credence in the pris-
oner's profession of innocence. Sud
denly the prisoner caught sight OF
the stranger, who had strolled in
from the hotel out of curiosity.
"Here, thank God, is some one
who can prove my innocence" cried
the prisoner, pointing to the stran-
ger, who was aghast at becoming the
center of interest so unexpectedly.
He seemed astonished and shook
his head.
"Oh, yes" cried the accused;
Gust think! You were at Dover-a
long way from here. You came out
of the Ship hotel, and 1 took your
luggage in a wheelbarrow to the
Calais packet at the pier. That was
the day I am supposed to have COM
mitted the crime up here"
The stranger seemed bewildered.
The judge, struck with the tragic
earnestness of the prisoner, ques-
toned the stranger, but the latter
could not assist him much.
'Have you any notebooks" asked
the judge-"any memorandum Of
your movements on that day."
'I am a merchant" replied the
stranger, CONNECTED with an old es-
tablished firm of bankers in Lon
don. I travel lot and of course
enter everything in my books. Here
are my keys if the court cares to
send to my hotel and bring here the
books out of my case. l can easily
settle the point"
The books were fetched. They
showed that the man had been in
Dover that day and had left by the
Calais packet. This was sufficient
for the judge and jury. The prison
er was acquitted.
Comic sequel: Both the "banker
from London" and the highwayman
were placed in the same dock short
" afterward charged with daring
burglaries in the neighborhood.-

Hyde Park
Pioneer
Is Dead

Mrs. Mary Thurston, one Of the
pioneer women Of that community and
also of this county, passed to her
final audit on Sunday morning, after
an illness that extended over a year.
The funeral services are to be held
in the Hyde Park meeting house at
1880 this afternoon.
Mrs. Thurston was well along in
the eighties, and her death was due
to general debility and old age. She
was a native of St. Michaels, Suffolk
England, where she was born on
March II, 1888. She was married to
James Thurston, April 6, 1854, and
six years later, in 1860, she emigrat-
ed to this country. She crossed the
plains in the company of Captain
James Brown, and after getting here,
settled in Hyde Park, being among
the first residents of that place. She
resided there the remainder of her
life, and held the respect of every
one in that community, for she was
kind, motherly woman, with a cheer
ing word or smile for all she met. She
leaves family of eight children. two
boys and six girls. Two sisters and
a brother survive her. They are
Mrs. Lydia 8. Crowther of Salt Lake,
Mrs. Eliza England Of Logan. and
Mr.. Samuel Seamons Of Hyde Park.

PROHIBITION AND DISEASE

5 DR.. Edward H. Williams of the
New York Hospital Service in a re.
cent issue of the Medical Record
says:
The diseases that are known to be
caused by alcoholic excuses appear
to be increasing rather than dimin-
ishing. Moreover, the government
statistics for the last census period
show that certain diseases which ere
attributed to excessive indulgence,
directly or indirectly, have Increased
more in the group of states where
prohibitive legislature existed at the
close of the period than in the Uutt-
ed States as a whole"
He further points out that during
that period the greatest gain in the
number of insane was In prohibition
Maine, where the number increa sed
21.2 per 1000 inhabitants, while wet
Nebraska holds the record at the
opposite extreme with decline Of
27.6 during the same period.
We learn much from statistics. So
valuable are they that nation, state,
city, private corporations anc bust
ness houses all spend large sums of
money in gathering them, anc save
money and make those businesses a
success through the lessons which
they teach. And the above Stats
tics cannot be ignored.
The claim is made that prohibition
reduces the consumption Of liquor.
But whether or not this is correct is
Of little Importance when considered
in connection with the above figures,
which show that 1t does not decrease.
but on the contrary tends to increase
the evil resulting from the use of liq-
uor. And after all any legislation
which keeps liquor from men 1t does
not injure is ridiculous. The object
of such legislation is to keep it from
those to whom injury is done or may
be done. If this is not accomplished
and these statistics prove that it is
not, the law is failure.
And the reason for the result shown
by the above figures Is not hard to
find. Prohibition practically places
a ban on beer, rs 1t is so bulky thar
It is hard to handle under prohib-
ition law. And the whiskey which
finds its way into prohibition state
and is sold by bootleggers and at
blind pigs is usually Of a cheap quail
ity. made for that class Of trade.
It is immaterial how much liquor
Is sold. What we desire to prevent
is the harm which 1t does. These sta
tistics show that the harm from liq-
uor 10 increased. rather than decreas-
ed. under prohibition. Seattle Argus.
