Whole Family Poisoned at Schuyler, Ne-
bratka.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 4.—A special to
The Bee, from Schuyler, Neb., says that
during the forenoon Frank Stein ad came
hastily in From Shell Creek precinct,
nine miles northwest, to summon a phy-
sicial to the home of Frank Davis, where
he said the whole family had been poi
soned.
Dr. Sixta hastened out and found four
of the seven children in the family and
their mother dead, a fifth child in a
dying condition and a sixth person sick.
Davis and his oldest son went away
early in the morning, leaving before the
rest of the family breakfasted. When
the meal was prepured all sat down, and
early in the course of the meal Mrs.
Davis made some such remark as:
Officers Dean and Felton caught a
thief in a lucky way Sunday morning.
They saw a suspicious looking negro
boy shining shoes on the sidewalk and
decided to ‘‘puli’’ him.
They carried him to police headquar
ters and proceeded to quiz him about
different things.
He gave a certain name, but the offi
cers were quite sure be was Gene John
son, a negro boy who burglarized Mr. L.
E. Bailey's house a year since, removing
i lot of valuable jewelry.
One of the officers took a good, square
look at him and said: “I believe that is
Gene Johnson who broke into Mr. Bai
ley’s house.”
The effect was electrical. The negro
jumped away and ran into Chief Culp’s
office and tried to go out of the window.
He was caught and put behind the bars
of the calaboose.
Since then he has been identified as
Gene Johnson, but the jewelry belong
ing to Mr. Bailey has not been recov
ered, as the negro has disposed of it long
ago, no doubt.

Real Estate Agent.
Dr. Joe Jacobs, of Atlanta, read a
paper before the American Pharmaceu
tical Association a few weeks since on
the discovery of anaesthesia.
Among other things contained in the
paper are the following:
I shall endeavor, in as succinct a man
ner as possible, and in a fair manner to
all, to present the facts of the controver
sy^ As to the time and main circum
stances of the first use of^miesthetics by
the four claimants, the following is a
fair statement:
Crawford W. Long, at Jefferson, Jack-
son county, Georgia, extirpated a tumor
from the neck of James M. Venable,
while he was under the influence of
ether, without pain to the patient, on
the 80th day of March, 1842.
Horace Wells subjected himself to the
effect of nitrous oxide gas, aud had one
of his own teeth extracted without pain,
to test the value of the gas as an anaes
thetic, on Doc. 11, 1844.
Chas. T. Jackson did not administer
ether in any operation, but it is claimed
suggested its use to Dr. W. T. G. Mor
ton, Sept. 20tU, 1846.
W. T. G. Morton gave ether to a Mr.
Frost, Sept. 30tli, 1846, and extracted a
tooth without pain.
The dates and the persons on whom
ether was used in the four cases stated,
are unquestionably established. In the
case of Dr. Long, the patient's affidavit,
and those of four students who were
Dr. Long’s office, sustain Dr. Long’s
written statement. And in each of the
three other cases the times at which the
anaesthetics were used are as amply veri
fied and fixed.
Hence, it isjbeyond dispute that Dr.
Long’s nse of ether as an anesthetic in
sorgeiy antedates Wells’ use of nitrons
oxide gas two years and eight months,
and the use by Morton of ether by four
yean and si* months.
In the Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal of April 11, 1861, Dr. Chas. T.
Jackson says that he visited Dr. Long at
Athens, Ga., on March 8, 1814, to
examine into his claims to being the
first to nse sulphuric ether as an an
aesthetic in surgery, and continuing
says:
From the documents shown me hy
Dr. Long, it appears that he used sul
phuric ether as an anaesthetic:
First-.—On March 30th, 1842, when
he extirpated a small glandular tumor
from the neck of James M. Venable, in
Jefferson, Ga. (now dead.)
“Second.—On the 8d of July, 1842, in
the amputation of the toe of a negro
boy belonging to Mrs. Hemphill, of
Jackson county, Ga.
“Third.—On September 8th, 1848, in
the extirpation of a tumor from the head
of Mary Vincent, of Jackson county,
Ga.
“Fourth.—On January 8th, 1845, in
the ampntation of the finger of a negro
boy belonging to Ralph Bailey, of Jack-
son county, Ga.
“Copies of letters and deposition prov
ing these operations with ether, were all
shown to me by Dr. Long. He also re
ferred me to physicians who knew of
the operations at the time.”
In one of Dr. Long’s letters to Dr.
Marion Sims (Nov. 6th, 18761, he says:
Dr. ChasTT. Jackson came to Georgia
and spent two days with me at Athens,
most of the time in my office; examin
ing dates and certificates establishing
the time, etc., of my operations, he ex
pressed himself as satisfied with the cor
rectness of my claim to the first nse of
ether as an anaesthetic in surgical oper
ations.’
The Athens Knitting Mill has a new
president.
Mr. J. H. Dootson, who served as
president from the date of the organiza
tion of the company, is oat.
And Mr. Louis Camak, one of the
prosperous and progressive young finan
ciers of the city, steps into that position.
Mr, Dootson concluded that he had as
much as he could attend to as agent of
the Athens Manufacturing Company,
and resolved to devote his entire time to
that work.
Consequently he resigned the office cf
president of the Athens Knitting Mill
Company, and sold his stock in that
company to Mr. Camak.
Mr. Wm. Dootson resigned his posi
tion as a member of the Board of Direc
tors and sir. Camak was chosen to fill
the vacancy. Mr. Camak was also
chosen president to succeed Mr. J. H.
Dootson.
The affairs of the Athens Knitting
Mill are in fine shape and the demand
for the product of the mill is constantly
on the increase. It will not be long be
fore the capacity of the mill will have to
be increased in ord;-r to fill all the orders
that are received.
The business of the Athens Manu
facturing Company is better than it has
been in many years, and such as to re
quire all the time of its agent, Mr. J. H.
Dootson.
Sunday evening Mr. W. W. Garrison
left home to go to church, telling his
wife he would return soon.
A few minutes later Mrs. Garrison
heard a noise at the back of the house
and walked out in the yard.
She saw some-one milking her cow,
and thought at first that it was Mr.
Garrison, milking the cow before he
started to church.
She called him and.no answer came.
Then she looked more closely at the
man and found that it was a negro.
Mrs. Garrison set up no alarm bnt
simply walked into the house and got
her pistol.
As she came out of the back door, the
negro was moving off about as rapidly
as his legs could carry him.
Mrs. Garrison pulled down on him
and sent three bullets after the fleeing
darkey. All the ballets ftew wide of
the mark, and the negro made his es
cape.
When Mrs. Garrison wont out and
examined her eow she found that the
negro had raked the cow a severe gash
with a knife.
