' There is a. man living among the mountaius of Tennessee who will be 214 years and ? months old on the 4th day of next July. He stands erect and one d y last week, on a wager, ran CO miles in 54 minutes, beating a limited express train. The engineer ot the train was so mortified at the result that he resigned. The veteran felt none the worse for his run and celebrated his victory by jump ing over a five-barred gate and eating a large number of consecutive quail. His hearing, eyesight, and taste for tobacco are as good as they ever were. P. S. This story Is not founded on fact, but we cheerfully place it at the disposal of the earnest demecratic editors who are en deivoring to make out that Thurman is rather a giddy young thing than other wise i.i noune. i PROHIBITION IN IOWA. The mayor of Keokuk has become tired of the soloons running in that city in violation of the law. lie is teaching the delinquent mayors of Iowa that the law can le enforced. The following is the proclamation which can not be misunder stood: Kkoklk, June 2. "To the ex-Saloou-kctpers: In March last you were noti fied that on and after May 1st you would not be allowed by tha city authorities to further violate the law. Some of you have since sold liquor some openly and others clandestinely. "The seizures and arrests made Friday by the police are simply the beginning. No mercy will be shown to any offender, and that you may labor under no delus ion I want to say that all the niacinery of the law will be put in operation against all violators of the law. "I will not wait for cases to be appeal ed and allow you to sell while waiting the slow process of the courts. All liquors will bo seized, and arrests will be made daily, and hourly if necessary. You have had the greatest leniency shown you heretofore but hereafter jus tice only will be given you. "You must chooso for yourselves whether you will obey the law or take punishment. You must do the one or submit to the other. "You must remember you have to deal now with the legally constituted execu tive power of the city and its police, and not with individuals nor with the pre ambles and resolutions of a temperance convention. "The law will be rigidly enforced if an officer has to be placed in every room attempted to be used as a saloon in the city. John N. Ikwix, Mayor. DON'T FOliUET IT.

The undertaker Las Lis business troubles the same as the man wLo makes Tiantaloons, and coats, and vests on thirty days' time. The latter has his way of collecting the bill some time. The undertaker cannot pursue with much comfort or assurance of success. Many of the ieople who Lave occasion to call on the undertaker belong to what is called the better class. They live up to their income and then jump over it. The demands of society keep them ou the run. The inadanio must appear as well attired as the banker's family. It is the same old story of keeping up apiearances. Bo that when some member of the family dies the funeral must be in accordance with the mode of the liv ing. Death Las its dance. These people call on the undertaker to furnish the music. In a case of this kind the undertaker has no time to look up credits or bank accounts. The casket is furnished as ordered. The attend ant accessories are at band as required. The undertaker is a humanitarian. lie could not withhold what Le Las if Le would. To be merciful is a part of Lis stock in trade. "When the casket is put under the soil there is no way to get it back, and even if there were who would buy a second Land coffin i The account mildews on the books, society keeps up its inexorable demand on the living, the income won't reach and the dead sleep on iu debt. It would surprise you to know Low many unpaid coffins tLero are over wLicb there aro costly monuments, with Hue read ing carved thereon. Chicago Times. The Wooden Bars' Must Go. Iron barges are destined to soon take the place of wooden ones on western waters. A firm is now preparing to build a large num ber of iron barges for the transportation of coal lietween Pittsburg and Kt. Louis. If successful it will do away entirely with wooden barges. Work will be commenced ou the new barges in a few weeks. Each barge will Lave a carrying capacity of oO.OOO bush els of coal, and will draw eight feet when loaded. They will be constructed of the very heaviest boiler iron, and will cost in the neighborhood of fl.'OO each. A class of workmen the caulkers along the rivers are deeply interested and solicitous, for the reason that if the iron boats arc a success, the better part of their occupation is gone.

"IiiUing the Yellow Pony." n the Founders' day procession in New Haven one of the Lancaslerian school boys" led a yellow pony. Few knew the signifi cance of the pony until it was explained that Mr. Lovell, the old schoolmaster, used to dis cipline Lis pupils by laying them out, face downward, on the yellow school desks and applying a rawhide where it would do the most good. This he called "riding the yellow pony." It is said that the man who led th pony in the procession deserved the honor, for he once, when a boy, rode the yellow pony twenty-four times in one day. New York Sun. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are va rious, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from disease of the hroat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone, without excep tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs produc ing Consumption and to the head, caus ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to continue will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may loose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bos- shoe's German Syrup. It will give you immediate relief. " j THE DEADLY DRUGS WHICH ARE COMING INTO USE IN PLACE OF ALCOHOU What New York City nrtipgUta Ray on the Subject The Mania for Treating One' Own Ailment Narcotic. Stimu lant and Soporific. An tip town druggist who was spoken to about the subject said: "I sell a good deal of both chloroform and ether without pre scriptions, but I dout consider that, so long as my drugs aro not intended for suicidal employment or murder, I have any right to u.sk what is going to bo done with them. I know what the law la, but deem that a drug gist must exercise some discretion in con forming to it. Why, a majority of the things on my shelves, things not commonly classed as poisons, either, a i?rson could kill himself with if he were fool enough to take too much of them. And here's a 'respect that gives us pause' when we think of strictly applying the law. A great many ersons are told by their physicians to take this or that medicine, do so, find themselves bettered or cured; subscquonUy Lave a recurrence of the old symptoms, and, remembering what did them good before, come around and demand it. Very possibly the druggist knows them, understands why they want the drug, or has sense enough to understand that they are tell ing the truth when they make a frank state ment of the situation. Wbat is the apoth ecary to do? Even if the man wants a deadly poison, he knows Low to take it, wants it for a good reason, and is bound to get it some where. Would my refusing Lim make Lira go-oil and got a prescription? Not much, unless mine was the only drug store in town. Another thing: "I don't believe there are any people in the world who have such a mania for treating their own ailments and exchang ing recipes as Americans have. Every street is full of men who have attended medical lectures with the idea of being doctors, and who liave abandoned that purpose, but still think they know enough of medicine to treat their own maladies and advise their friends. And, of course, with the American disposi tion to play every hand for all it is worth, they Lave littlo confidence in anything but the most powerful drugs. So from tb.es various directions comes a more or less legit imate and certainly honest demand for my cold pizen,' and I just use my own best judgment, in each individual case, about sup plying it "I Lave a good deal of call for Lydrato of chloral, but hardly so much as a few years ago, when it was a fashion. Bromide of pot assium is also in good, steady, and, I fancy, increasing demand among ladies with weak nerves and gentlemen of super convivial habits. The use of morphine is, I should say, increasing, while that of laudanum and the crude opium is falling oft. When I say 'use' I mean improper use of course, and when I speak of a diminished demand for the crude opium I except the kind used for smoking, which is altogether different from the medi cinal sort That does not pass through my Lands at all, and about the call for it I know nothing. Morphine is generally used bypo dermically. It is now practicable to get a complete outfit for that vice as cheaply as seventy-five cents, and that, together with certain supposed advantages in that method of administration, Las popularized the habit Tens of thousands of persona of whom j'ou would never suspect it are addicted to the vice, 'Cocaine?' No. There are few or, I may say, no demands for it, except from doctors, some of whom,' I regret to say, Lave got into tLe habit of demanding it altogether too frequently. Drugs accredited with a power of stimulation of the stomach, heart or nervous system especially the latter are more and more commonly used. You would be astonished could you know how many per sons Lave contracted a Labit of using capsi cum, ginger, calisaya, strychnia, quinine, digitalis, phosphorus, and the thousand and one nostrums compounded for stimulative purposes. I verily believe that at least one person in every hundred in tho community has such a confirmed habit 'Cannabis Indi cusf No. There is but little call for it, even in prescriptions, for the reason, I think, thuS invaluable as it is when fresh, of full strength, and reliable, its active principle is so volatile that you never are sure of what its effects will be. Could it be depended upon it would be one of the least injurious and most agree able of the intoxicants." Another druggist said: "I used to sell a great deal of narcotic, soporific and stimu lant drugs while clerking in a big Broadway store, but in this new place of my own not much, as yet No, I don't suppose it is bo cause people have stopped taking them, not by any means, but simply for the reason that I have not yet been here long enough for them to get to know mo and feel that they can approach me with confidence. Persons who aro habitual users of drugs generally get to bo quite secretive about their vice, you kuow. I do, however, sell a vast deal of a very excellent bitter calisaya cordial that I put up myself; and another preparation, a tonic, containing phosphorus, strychnia and some other valuable ingredients. Botb are sold at ray soda fountain, and two out of ever' three persons at least of those who call for soda will have one or the other, or some times both of those preparations. I even have customers who stop every morning and get vials of them to take down town to their offices for use during the day, and who stop at night and leave tho empty vials to be re filled for tho next day. At night, at home, they have big bottles to draw from if they want to keep up their stimulation." The mention of the opium smokers by the preceding druggist suggested tho inquiry of an exceptionally clever literary man, who was casually met one day at Yuet Sing's store, "whether the breaking up of the 'joints' bad diminished opium smoking in New York?" ''Not at all," he replied; "there is more of it now than there ever was before. It is simply carried on with more secrecy, that is alL The pale faced barbarian has not tho ghost of a show to run John Chinaman in his way. The Mongol is too cunning. If he wants to smoke opium be will smoke opium, and the only way to raako Lim stop it is to kill Lim. But it is by no means Chinamen alono who 'hit tha pipe.' There are more Melican men and women in Now York ad dicted to tha habit than there are Chinamen who practice it, and they are by no means the offscourings of society' to quote the pet phrase of tho people who want everybody else to live in their way. Very respectablo men, yes, and women, too, smoke opium. And tho 'joints' are not closed. Those known to the police are, it is true, but I, who am recognized as one who occasionally 'hits the pipo' and can be trusted, could Ehow you a dozen places whero you might smoke tho wad of Oriental delight in any degree of style you pleased." A German druggist, who developed in con versation a conscientiousness almost as big as his cars or Lis feet, would not even talk about the use of drugs otherwise than by pre scription, lest he might bo violating the law. Ho knew nothing about such things, bo said, and was scandalized and horrified beyond measure when tho writer asked him for some "L20 grain strychnia pellets." AH he could stammer in reply was: "Go owitl Go owitr New York Sun. Real Estate Bargains EXAMINE OUR LIST.
