Ho was one of the de fendants in an injunction suit that was com menced some time ago by ono of the mem bers of the Womc'i's Christian Temperance union of Neola to close up his place , along with live or six others. A number of witnesses were examined. They ail tcstilled that they had drank liquids of various kinds , but thought they worn nothing but ginger ale , cider , pop or other harmless beverages. Whisky or beer thuy knew nothing of , although several of them had drank throe liquors before they loft their Kiiropean homes or while they were visiting friends instates where prohibi tion was not in practical operation. The case was not completed , owing to the failure of some material witnesses to bo on hand. The case will probably comu up again today and another Joblot of misty memories and befuddled brains will be brought out 'or the Inspection of the court. Koal-Spur !

The city Inspector of weights and meas ures , A , W , Parker , discovered a practice of deception yesterday , In which patrons of some saloons are given very short pints and quarts of ilery liquor. In one place the inspector specter found a quart bottle , which was one- , , third short of the required size. The vtiil held liquor , which measured up one-half pint and ono gill short of ono quart. upltu bottle in thu same place was over mu : gill short , or oiio-fourth less capacity than the standard. In appearance the bottles are of regulation slzo and would deceive even a practiced eye. A careful Inspection reveals the fact that the glass Is of extraordinary thickness , and this causes the shortage In capacity. The Inspector 1ms not the power to lOiidtmm the bottles , ns the ordinances tail to establish a list of standard measures. Those who dispose of liquor in bottles of this sl/.o set up the claim that they are only supplying the customer with u bottle of liquor , ami do not soil them ns containing either ono quart or one pint , and consequently they are practicing no deception. With such a statement con fronting him It Is impossible for the inspec tor to show that people are being imposed upon. The only way out of the difllculty Is for the council to provide a list of standard capacity for Ixittles of liquor placed' upon sale. This would give the Inspector power to prevent any Imposition being practiced. When bottles containing liquid or substances are placed on sale they are supposed to bo of regulation capacity and when they fall short the purchaser Is defrauded of just the amount the vial Is lacking in standard measure. Mr. I'arker hopes for assistance from the council so that he will be enabled to break up the practice of giving short measure. * Sl'.lltliS < > / ' .S/'O 7f.

There was wild cheering when Gallagher and Smith entered the ring. At the lirst swiugof the arms Smith .slipped and fell. After that , with each rush Gallagher made. Smith went to his kneesalthough repeatedly warned not to do so. Masterson , who was behind Smith , attempted to help his man to his feet just before time was called and for this Gallagher struck him. Masterson was instantly inaldu the ropes and began slugging Gallagher. A dozen policemen were almost as active and stopped the light , which had not been advertised. After live minutes of wranglintr the slug gers were at U again , but Smith , who' is a negro , kept falling to his knees to avoid punishment , and as it would bo Impossible to knock him out in that way the referee gave the light to Gallagher.

A bullet hole in his forehead and an empty chamber in a revolver at his side indicated suicide , for which no motive can bo given. The coroner's Jury returned a verdict of death from a revolver shot ilred by unknown hands. Foul play is suggested by the fact that the evening before two shots were heard hi the vicinity and it was also brought out that the same evening two boys were with the dead man drinking mm playing cards.

E , J McKonnn , who amuses museo audiences by eating glass , says in u news paper article : "The majority of glass caters are fakirs of the lirst water. The trick they perform is very simple. The ' 'glass' ' is generally a hard , brittle-looking substance which gives a merry ring when tno fakir clips it with his thumb and forefinger to sot suspicious minds at rest. It gives a boll-like sound Hko that of genuine glaas when lightly struck , and jars on the senses when ground by tho' performer's teeth. Nevertheless , it is merely a hard glucose substance , which molts in the heat of the stomach and assimilates quite as readily m jolly or oven molasses. There Imvo been and are at present men living who can cut real glass appar ently without mifforing from the elTeots thereof.'lain one of those' few indi viduals , but tuko no credit to myself for possessing u peculiar physical quality. Nature gave mo a cast iron stomach and I think nothing can affect it. I first tried chewing and swallowing glass when a boy at Nashua , Now Hampshire. My self and eomo other schoolboys had been reading in our loisupj hours a flash book called "ThoGold Hunters in Australia , " wherein wo Icajincd that u drunken Yankee sailor hari ground up and swal lowed a glass tumbler during his periods of intemperance. r ) "I told the boys in n spirit of bravado that I thought I could do the trick. I had frequently ground with my tooth and swallowed grapotccd and judged that this wojild not bo a much harder feat. The boyt ? urged mo on , I bought a very thin shell glass and broke a piece out of it. Thin I ground exceedingly line and swallowed. No evil consequences followed , and after that I did the tame thing with thicker glass. Eventually I went into the show business and made a living out of my gastronomic toughness. I have frequently been told by eminent physicians that some day I will do that trick for the lus.t time , as the glass is liable at any moment to get into the intestines and cause congestion ; yet I have not experienced the slightest symptoms of discomfort , and 1 have ground up and eaten us many us nine linocut cut glasses in a day. "My theory about glass eating is simple. I think that in my case at least no great danger need bo apprehended if all the organs of the body uro in hcath- ful condition and the stomach is fairly full. I always eat a hearty meal two hours or loss before I give a performance. The glass thus gets mixed up with the food , and not being nutritions passes awuy in courtio of digestion with food which is not flesh producing or blood making , just us peach stones and other indigestible material do. It is not necessary that I should state the salary I earn , but s > o far and I have only been six years in the business I have earned ever $9,000 by the exhibitions I have given. Pretty nearly all of that money is gene and I will have to stick to glass eating for a while longer if the fad con tinues so popular that I can still make capital from it. " Douf Muted "Feel" Muilc. "I never felt so lonesome in my life , " said a gentleman recently "as when I chanced to bo thrown one day with a picnic party of deaf mutes. They could under stand each other , laughed and carried on and had a good time generally , while I sat like a mummy , apart , looking on , but unable to participate in any of the fun. "One thing that supriscd mo greatly , " ho continued , "was to see thorn indulge in dancing. I had always supposed that it was absolutely essential to hoar the rhythm of music in order to keep time of a waltz or a polka. To bo sure they had an orchestra on the dancing barge , and for a time I regarded that as peculiar , for few if any of the party could hear the strains. "After a llttlo though I solved the mystery.
