Buttercups are Poison.
It is not generally known that the
buttercup, which is such a favorite
flower with the children, has poison¬
ous qualities, yet such is the case, and
an inquest has recently been held on a
boy, who, after eating some butter¬
cups, died within a few hours with all
the symptoms of irritant poison. The
buttercup belongs to the ranuncula-
ceac, and nearly all the members of
this group possess poisonous qualities,
chiefly of au irritant nature, though in
a few narcotic principles are to be
found. The virulence of the poison
varies very much, but there are very
fpw individuals of this order which
are ifiert. The various species of but¬
tercups liavo all irritant properties,
and in the absence of better drugs
they have occasionally been used ns
vesicatories. Cows avoid buttercups,
but hogs and some other animals can
eat them with impunity, The active
principle is volatile', so that when the
buttercups are dried with hay or ex¬
posed to the air they become inert.
Luckily, the buttercup, though pretty
to look at, does not usually tempt the
children to eat it wholesale, otherwise
cases of poisoning might he Ichs rare
than they fortunately are at present.

An Incident Which Illustrates an Effect of
the Cycling Craze.
“Speaking of bicycles,” remarked
more to render this the horseless age
than anything else that haH happened:
to it, but I'll say it and illuminate my
statement by an example, which lately
came under my notice. j
“I was down in a West irginia
town not more than a week or ten
days ago, and as I had a jaunt of ten
miles to make into the country to see
a rural customer of mine, I hired a
being « friend of mine, let me have
his own saddle horse a really fine an-
imal, and I felt proud of my mount as
I rode out of town. Arrived at des-
tination I Boon transacted my business
and while waiting for my customer,
who was going to ride part of the way i
back with me, an old farmer came
along and hitched his horse near the j
block where f was sittinu on mine all
ready to ride away. He took a side
glance at my nag and with the usual
freedom of the country began looking
my animal over.”
“ 1 Wind's he wuth?’ he inquired
when his investigation was completed.
‘“Oh, about eighteen dollars,' I
said, thinking I would surprise the
old fellow and at the same time have
some fun with him. I
“But he never showed a sign in his
face and merely walked around the
horse critically.
t ( « I might give you fifteen,’ ho said,
with great indifference,
“ ‘If you do,’ said I, hanging on,
‘it will have to be cash '
‘“I actin’ brash these hard
times,’he explained, ‘but mebbe we
kin do somethin’ in the critter biz-
ness. Trot him up the road a piece !
and let’s see what he kin do.’
“I hadn't bargained for this exact-
ly, but I was in for it, and I thought
I might as well see it to the finish and
rode away us lie directed.
“When I returned he took another i
turn around the horse, shaking his
liOftd as if not altogether satisfied
" »*1» what he was likely to get in tho
deal.
“ ‘Is fifteen ycr lowest figger?’ he
asked.
I« ‘Y'es, it’s the best I can do.’
< < i Well,’ he said, with the greatest
deliberation, ‘fifteen dollars is a good
deal to pay for a boss these days, but
ride him up the road ag’in on a run
till I holler, an’ when I holler swing
him ’round and fetch him back on a
slow walk, an’ I’ll git the money
somehow.’
“I thought it was a fine joke and
started away on a dead run, expecting
to got the call at a turn in the road
some three hundred yards away, but
I didn’t, and when I had passe,1 out
of sigtli and still no call came, I tum¬
bled to myself and went right back
to where I had started from in the
morning, without saying a word to
anybody.”—Washington Rtnr.
A Mine’s Remarkable History,
Probably which there is not n mine in tin
country can show such extreme
variations in tho price at which it h
held as tho Diamond mine, neai
\ Helena. It was sold last year to c
Scotch syndicate for $1,800,000. l’if
j teen years ago Richard Lockey, ot
j Helena, bought the mine for ninety
cents. Mr. Lockey did not make the
difference between these two sums.
The property which ho bought foi
ninety cents ho sold for $8,000, and
thought ho wns making a good bar
gain.
The Diamond mine has n peenliai
history. It was discovered and local
ed Folsom, about thirty years ago by David E.
of White Sulphur Springs,
and Charles W. Cooke. Shortly uftei
locating it they sold it to G'apt. Lewis
and James Reece, of Pittsburg, who
set up a small stamp mill, hut did not
make a success of it. Tho capitalists
left, and tho mine was neglected and
abandoned, taxes became delinquent,
the assessor's validation of thepropor
ly was small, and the delinquent tax
| duo was only ninety cents. Iiichard
Lookey happened to be in Radorslmrg
; when lie observed the Diamond mine

INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
Mr. Carter, of Engineer Corps, Charged j
With Changing Government Flans.
A Washington special says: The
secretary of war has appointed a board
of engineer officers, comprising Col-
onel Gillespie and Majors Adams and
Raymond to proceed at once to Savan¬
nah, Ga., to investigate certain reports
that have come to the war department
to the effect that the work upon the
river and harbor improvements of Sa¬
vannah river and Cumberland sound
under the charge of Captain Oberlin
M. Carter, of the engineer corps, has
not been done in accordance with the
project of the department. It is ex¬
pressly stated at the war department
that there is no statement of irregular¬
ity in the accounts of Captain Carter,
but merely a change of departure from
the authorized plans of of the depart¬
ment.
The captain enters a most emphatic
denial that he lias done anything that
was not in the interest of the United
States government.
The 1 orrd appointed to inquire into
the matter is composed of the ablest
men in the engineer corps. Colonel
Gillespie is president of the Missis¬
sippi river commission, stationed at
New York. Major Adams for years
was the riglithand man of the chief of
engineers at Washington and is now
stationed at New York, while Major
Raymond has charge of important
works in Pennsylvania and a Dela¬
ware section.
FLANAGAN BROUGHT TO BAY.
Murderer Escapes From His Cell and Is
Recaptured After a Struggle.
Great excitement prevailed in De¬
catur and Atlanta Wednesday over the
report that Edward Flanagan, twice
murderer, had escaped from the De¬
catur jail during Tuesday night.
When Sheriff Austin went up to the
cells to carry Flanagan his breakfast
at 7 o’clock Wednesday morning the
murderer was missing. An alarm was
at once raised and a search immediate¬
ly instituted. One of the searching
parties found the murderer in another
and unused cell of the jail into which
he had mysteriously gained admit¬
tance and hid. When discovered
Flanagan showed fight and attempted
to brain one of tho intruders.
In making the capture a desperate
struggle ensued, in which Flanagan
was finally brought to bay by a blow
on the head from a scantling in the
hands of the village blacksmith.

From the Nero Era , Qreensburg , Ind.
The St. Paul correspondent for the New
Era recently had an item regarding the case
of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered
from a serious illness of rheumatism an ( l
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months. The letter
stated that it was a very bad case and her
recovery was considered such a surprise to
the neighbors that it created considerable
gossip.
Being anxious to learn tho absolute facts
in tlio case, a special reporter was sent to
have a talk with the girl and her parents.
They were not; at home, however, being
some distance away. A message was sent
to Mr. Stevens, asking him to write up a
full history of the case, and a few days.ago
the following letter was received from Mrs.
Stevens:
“St. Paul, Ind., Jan. 20, 1807.
Editors Nero Era, Greensburg, Ind.
“Beau Sirs: Your kind letter received
and I am glad to have the opportunity to
tell you about the sickness and recovery of
Mabel. TVo don't want any newspaper no¬
toriety, but in a case like tills where a fow
words of what I have to say may moan ro-
covery for some child, I feol it my duty to
tell you of her case.
“Two years ago tliis winter Mabel began
complaining pally of pains in her limbs, princi¬
in her lower limbs. She was going to
school, and had to walk about three quar¬
ters of a mile each day, going through all
kinds of weather. She was thirteen years
old and doing so well in her studies that I
disliked to take her from school but we had
to do it.
“For several months she was confined to
the house, and she grew palo and dwindled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and
arms were drawn lip and her appearance
was pitiful. Several doctors had attended
her, but it seemed that none of them did
her any good. They advised us to take her
to tho springs, but times were so hard we
could not afford it, although we finally
managed, to get her to the Martinsville
baths. Here she grow suddenly weaker,
and it seemed that she could not stand if,
but she became better, and it seemed that
she was being benefited, but she suddenly
grew worse, and we had to bring her home.
“She lingered along, and last winter be¬
came worse again, and was afflicted with a
nervous trouble almost like tho St. Vitus’
dance. For some tiino we thought she
would die, and the physicians gave her up.
When she was at her worst a neighbor came
in with a box of Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they were advertised to be good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that
she thought they might help Mabel.
“We tried them. The first box helped
her some, and after she had taken three
boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When
she had finished a half dozen boxes she was
able to be out and about. She has taken
about nine boxes altogether now, and she
is as well as ever, and going to school
' weeks 1 V I >ry day, having started in again three
ago. Her euro was undoubtedly
due to these pills.”

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in-
cur; iblc. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from
Id drops to a teaspoonful. It, acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes
monials. Address F.J. Chknky& Co.,Toledo, o.

MRS. PETERSON’S ST(M£Y
I have suffered with womb trprfule
over fifteen 3 'ears. I had inflammation,
enlargement and displacement of the
womb. !■
The doctor wanted me to take treat¬
ments, but I had just begun taking
Mrs. Pinkham's sCsaBAgag u i i n i
Compound, and BPBM
my husband ,B
said I had
better wait i
and see
how much
good tlmt i
would do '
■i i
me. I was
so sick when I
began with her
medicine, I could
hardly be on my
feet. I had the
backache con¬ |\1
stantly, also headache, and
was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it
seemed as tljough my heart was in my
throat at times choking me. I could
not walk around and I could not lie
down, for then my heart would beat so
fast I would feel as though I was
smothering. I had to sit up in bed
nights in order to breathe. I was so
weak I could not do anything.
I have now taken several bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound, and used three packages of
Sanative Wash, and can say I am
perfectly cured. I do not think I
could have lived long if Mrs., Pink-
ham’s medicine had not helped me.__
