There is a. man living among the

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

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.

liie Undertaker!! l!usinea Troubles.
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

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

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
