ARSENIC POISONING
Tho Torture That Ensues Before
Death Brings Relief
Whrn a single dose of arsenic in suf
ficient quantity to be felt bus been
taken colicky pains bowel disorder
and perhaps nausea result In tbe
course of an hour after a poisonous
dose bas been taken an intense burn
ing pain is felt in the esophagus and
stomach This spreads to the entire
iinifiiiir portion of the lower part of
tilt trunk A sense of constriction at
the throat and uu acrid metallic taste
accompany the pain Then vomiting
and relaxation of the bowels liejriii
As the case progresses the symptoms
Increase In Intensity Then comes a
thirst that water will not allay al
though it apparently increases the
stomach disturbance Tbe victim
groans and writhes
Now he implores the doctor to save
him Then he begs to be killed and put
out of pain The extremities become
icy The pulse is small feeble and fre
quent and the breathing is labored
embarrassed and painful because of
abdominal tenderness Tbe surface of
the bdy becomes dark and of that
bluish color that medical men call cy
anosed Violent cramps add their tor
ture exhaustion becomes collapse con
vulsions or coma ensues and death
ends the agony The torture lasts
sometimes from tive to twenty hours
In some cases these symptoms occur
but in a modified form and the doctor
will apparently get the better of the
disease The remission will be but for
a day or two Then the abdomen will
swell and icy coldness will pervade
the frame Shivering will become pro
nounced trembling then cramps con
vulsions and death
AMERICAN MANHOOD
An English View of the Common Peo
ple In This Country
In all I spent four months traveling
and lecturing in the eastern cities of
the United States and met many men
of varied classes In my wildest
d en ms of the race I had never fore
seen such wealth such freedom such
equality America is the land of the
common people as England Is the land
of the classes If 1 were a young
workinirman I would go to the States
as soon as I could earn a passage be
cause once on her soil 1 should cease
to be a laborer and become a man
which is a very different thing
Better than the boundless wealth of
America better than any material ben
efit she can bestow is this sense of
manhood and equality that is as all
pervading as the air Worse than tbe
earthen floor of our peasants hovel
still fouud in Englands southern coun
ties and the starvation wages on
which he lives is the slavish spirit
that drags the cap from his bead he
fore the squire or crowds him into the
ditch as the carriage passes by He is
not a man only a laborer one step
above the serf Joseph Burtt of Lon
don in Leslies
Trapping Muskrats
lumbers of mechanical traps to
oalh muskrats have been invented
and tried but none gives more satis
faction than the old Moating barrel
trap that has been in use for many
years Both ends are left closed and a
hole about eight by twelve inches
square is sawed in the side A strong
cleat is nailed across each end rhe
cleats projecting sis or eight inches
beyond the barrel and upon the cleats
are nailed two boards one on each side
of the barrel and several inches longer
Water then is placed in the barrel so
that it will float with rhe board plat
forms about on a level with the sur
face of the pond or stream About
one third of the barrel remains above
water Apples carrots and other deli
cacies that rhe muskrat likes are
placed in the barrel In their attempts
to get the bait the animals full into the
bnrrel and are unable ro get out Ex

Proving His Authority
There was an Irish foreman of a
gang of laborers who went to any
lengths to show bis men that he was
the real boss One morning this fore
man found that his gang bad put a
handcar on tbe track without his or
ders
iVho put that on the
tr rack he asked
We did sor one of the men an
swered respectfully
Well he said shortly take it off
agin
The laborers did so with some diffi
culty
Now said tbe foremau put it on

Great Scheme
What do you do asked the one
who had been married only a few

1 pretend not to notice that its late

THE EARLY SETTLERS
Substance of paper read at the meet
ing of the Old Settlers Picnic Held
Thursday afternoon September 16
1910 at Taylors Grove on Red
Willow Creek Red Willow County
Nebraska published at the request
of the Old Settlers Association
In ancient times before the art of
writing was employed to record the
events of the past it was customary
for the eld man of the tribes into
which the society of those days was
divided to gather their clansmen
about them for the purpose of re
counting to their children the valor
ous deeds of their ancestors From
father to son the tales desended
and so it was the chronicles of the
dead were perpetuated In these mod
em days all over this new western
land the pioneers congregate from
time to time as you have meet here
for the purpose of telling those of us
who were too young to participate in
the movement that culminated in the
settlement of the great plains the
story of their undertaking
The purpose of this organization
can not be too heartily commended
It is a good thing for us to get togeth
er once in a while to renew old
friendships to revive old memories
to repeat the old stories By review
ing these incidents of the past those
of us who have lfvd the primative
wholesome life of the frontier instill
vigor into this articficial existence
of the present day You make us
who were born too late to take part
in the events that are now recount
ed as history envious of your good
fortune You endured hardships you
suffered privations some of your
companions died in the struggle to
subjugate the new country but it was
worth while and you who have surviv
ed as well as those who are gone are
receiving the greatest reward that j
can be meted to you on earth the
veneration and regard of your fellow
men It is right and proper that you
should remind us who belong to a
younger generation who find the path
ways cleared who find the hard tasks
done of our debt of gratitude to
you Why should we not be grate
ful to the old settlers Do we not
owe it to them that we can live in
this land in safety and comfort Even
nature teems to smile upon them Af
ter a week of gloomy threatening
weather the skies have cleared as if
for no other purpose than to give
them a beautiful day for their picnic
We are again enjoying the splendid
sunshine as only Nebraskas used to
light and gladness can The day set
sunshine as only Nebraskans used to
apart for this event has invariably i
been pleasant s
When you the first settlers in
your search for a home had crossed
the great river that marks the east
ern boundary of our state you drove
your slow moving white covered wag
ons into a land that was as unchart
ered ui the ocean You came beyond
what was then the frontier beyond
the out posts of civilization beyond
the help of men You found the prair
ies stretching beyond the limits of
vision like a boundless ocean the
surface tossed as if by the wind into
mighty waves that were crested not
with foam but with flowers You
found the land tenanted only by wild
animals and by savage men the up
lands teemed with buffalo while along
the streams and in the sheltering can
ons ell and deer and antelope grazed
on the prairie grasses At night out
of the darkness that rimmed your
campfirts you heard the doleful wail
ing of the coyote while from the
branches of the tree beneath which
you sought shelter the eyes of some
giant cat- glowed like living coals
When you reached the borders of
this creek the land looked well to
you you halted in your journey you
unhitched jour tired horses and turn
ed them loose to pasture The first
desire of every white man is to have
a home you selected a site for the
dwelling jou meant to raise you cut
the trees that nature had furnished
for your use along the stream and
from them you fashioned your habi
tation you turned the prairie sod
and from it you built a shelter from
the sun and wind and rain using pol
es for roor and hanging the untann
ed skins of deer or buffalo before
the entrance you dug a cave in some
canon bank like the wild creatures
that had been in undisputed posses
sion of the land since their first com
ing In time you wended your weary
way back across the trackless prairie
to the nearest railroad station where
you loaded your wagon with boards
with Avhich you constructed a shack
that would shield you from winters
winds There was none to help you
but your companions no carpenters
no artisans you learned the first les
son of the pioneer the self reliance
a lesson of which we in this day and
age know too little
When your supplies ran low when
you must have something other than
your rifle or your traps would furn
ish it meant not a trip to the near
by town but another lonely trip of
a hundred miles or more across the
l plains to the settlement on the rail
road When the house was built
sometimes before the wife and ba
bies joined you in the new home As
the months went by the little store
of money all too rapidly vanished
to feed the hungry mouths you turn
ed hunter and trapper and exchang
ed the pelts of the wild things you
shot and caught for the barest ne
cessities of existence for the art
icles of diet our civilization deems es
sential to existence
In health the life though hard had
its compensations in the prairies in
the glorious sunshine in the free
pure air of this westland but in sick
ness and death and sorrow there
was no doctor who might be summon
ed by telephone no one to administer
comfort to the suffering but some
kindly neighbor woman with her home
ly remedies All that could be done
for the dead was to lay them in the
earth on the lonely hill side some
times in a rude pine box to save them
from molestation by prowling carni
vora sometimes merely wrapped in a
blanket to protect the closed eyes
from the concealing clods Tears
and a prayer were awarded the depart
ed and out pouring of sympathy from
all the country side for the living
Even to the poor sick Indian who
crawled to your door you extended
the hand of charity But all was not
pain and sorrow there were parties
and weddings there were social gath
erings at the homestead houses
there were Thanksgiving days when
your hearts were grateful for such
blessings as you enjoyed there were
holiday seasons when despite the poor
harvest the Christmas spirit prevail
ed On Sunday there were devotion
al services for among those who set
tled along this creek as among all
nioneers there existed a deenlv re-
I
ligious sentiment that prompted the
organization of churches and Sunday
schools
Carlyle said blessed is the country
that has no history In the popular
signification of the term we have no
history No great public conflicts
have been waged upon our soil no
armies have marched across our prair
ies unless perhaps a company or
two of troops in pursuit of renegade
red men Yet we are standing upon
historic ground for here was the
scene of the earliest serious effort
to colonize Red Willow county When
the first little company of pioneers
came to the banks of this stream the
territory which is now embraced with
in the boundaries of this county had
no permanent residents save for a
single man John King I believe his
name was who lived near the Furnas
county line But the claim of this
locality to historic distinction dates
farther back than that Several years
ago a sword believed to be of ancient
Spanish manufacture was found come
where along this stream Tradition
connects it with the expedition of
Coronado in his search for the fabled
seven cities of Cibola
The writters of history however
find nothing in our annals worth re
cording yet nevertheless you old
settlers can chronicle events that
have the profoundest human interest
Tho happenings of your every day
life went to make up a story that is
tragic and as thrilling as the tales
that are told by the ancients After
all who shall say they are too in
significant to warrant repetition
With God whose puppets best
smd worst are we there Is no last
per firsc
The little incidents that filled your
day did not constitute the sum of lif
for you Aside from the human ele
ment that entered into the computa
tion the various manifestations of na
ture cast spells that were felt but
that cannot be defined The expanse
of prairie with its tree bordered
streams flooded with sunlight by day
spreading beneath the stars at night
the cloud flecked sky the chasing
shadows the slipping water the sift
ing snowflakes the sighing winds
the silent moonlight nights the scent
of wild roses the song of the mead
owlark even the sweep of the storm
cloud rent with lightning and crack
ing thunder even the wail of the coy
ote even the hiss of the rattle snake
coiled in the grass inspired sentiment
that make the memory of those days
pleasant to contemplate
The proudest distinction any of us
can enjoy should be that of calling
ourselves old settlers but the honor
should be reserved for those many of
whom are here today who endured
the hardships and privations of pioneer
life who prepared the way for those
of us who came later who have made
this country what it is To the first
settlers we who found this land a
fit place to live owe a debt of grati
tude we cannot repay
I would like to see Old Settlers-
day a general holiday in Red Willow
county I would like to see not only
the old settlers but the new as well
attend these sessions I would like to
see the scope of this event extended
I would like to see at least once each
year a large proportion of the peo
ple of this county brought together
My best wishes is that another year
we may have a gathering that will
tax this grove Let us all from this
day bend every effort to make the
next annual meeting of the Old Set-
j tiers of Red Willow county the best
and biggest day Red Willow county
has ever had
