Antiquity of Butter.

Butter, which is almost indispensable to the meal nowadays, was formerly used solely as an ointment. Herodotus, a Greek historian, is the first writer who mentions butter, B. C. 600. The Spartans treated it very much the same as we do cold cream or vaseline, and Plutarch tells how a hostess was sickened at the sight of one of her visitors, a Spartan, who was saturated In butter. The Scythians introduced the article to the Greeks and the Germans showed the Romans how to make It. But the latter did not use it for food. They, like the Spartans, anointed tholr bodies with it

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

Main I'ointg in thu Law for tlie Klcction of City Ofttci-ra.

As there is some difference of opinion.among candidates as to just what is meant by the new election law governing cities, we make a liberal quotation from the act. After it is read it is not any too clear, and in all probability it will be knocked out by the Supreme Court, where it is now pending. However, it is the law, and so long as it stands, elections will have to abide by it. It is as follows: "The officers of such city shall consist 8f a mayor, two councilmen from each ward, a city clerk, treasurer, civil engineer, street commissioner, chief of the fire department, health officer,marshal, and (if the common council deem it expedient) a city attorney and a city judge. The city attorney, the street commissioner, the civil engineer, the chief engineer of the fire department, and the health officer shall be appointed by the common council: Provided, That the common council may dispense with the street commissioner and require the marshal to perform his'duties. All such officers shall hold their respective offices for four (4) years.

Said officers shall respectively hold their offices as follows: The mayor, city judge, clerk, marshal and treasurer, four years each: And jrwfJci,Tliat the term of office of the aforesaid officers shall commence on the first Monday in September following the general election in May, and that the terms of office shall be four years from such Monday in September: And provided furOicr, That the mayor, clerk, treasurer, civil engineer, street commissioner, marshal, city attorney, city judge,chief engineer of the fire' department, and health officer now in office, and whose terms expire in May and September, 1894, or at any other time, shall hold their respective offices until the first Monday in the month of September, 1896, and that all and each of such officers as shall so hold, shall'procure from their sureties a written consent to the aforesaid extension,or give anew bond to the satisfaction of the council,otherwise their term of office shall terminate in May or September of the original term for which they were elected or appointed, or at such time as their terms now expire. And tlie councilmen from each ward, whose terms will expire in May, 1893, is hereby eontin ued in office, and his term extended until May, 1S94, and the councilmen of each ward whose term would expire in May, 1894, is hereby continued in office and his term extended until May, 1890 and hereafter when two councilmen are chosen at the same time from the same ward it shall be determined by lot at the first regular meeting of the council after their election who shall hold his office for two years and who for four years, and biennially thereafter one councilman shall be elected by the legal voters of each ward. The term of councilmen shall be four years, and they shaU be elected biennially. The successors of those whose terms are extended until May, 1894,shall then be elected and their terms continued four years, and the successors of those whose terms are extended until May, 1896, shall then be elected and their terms continued four years."

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Migner. Mrs. Elizabeth Misner died at tlie family residence, at Sinartsburg, of cancer of the stomach last night at 10:30 o'clock. Mrs. Misner was born in Uutler county, Ohio, March 23, 1817, being TG years, 7 months and 12 days old. She was married to Benjamin Misner, Jan. 1, 1835, and came to this county in 1836, where they have since resided. Mr. Misner died Dec. 9 last. They were the parents of ten children, three of whom survive tliem, Mrs. Elijah Kennedy, Silas Misner and Mrs. John Maston. They were well and favorably known, being honorable in all their dealings, sociable and pleasant to all visitors and charitable and kind at all times. The funeral will occur on Wednesday, the 17tli, at 1 o'clock p. m., at the Baptist church in Smartsburg.

Vory'a Hnir in Danger.

A Washington special says: Representative Brooksliire will divide with Representative Richardson of Tennessee, this week, the honor of presiding over the committee of the whole House while considering the Wilson bill under the 5-minute rule. This will test the nerve and temperament of the Eighth district man as probably no other experience could, for at no time is the House so disorderly as when in committee of the whole on a tariff bill. If

Brooksliire comes out of the ordeal with all his hair he'll do.

Gave Him Ten Ycare.

Judge Sellar is home from Newport where he officiated as special judge in the murder case of Lew Puett who was charged with the murder of a man named Thomas in Parke county. Puett pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced by Judge Sellar to ten years in the penitentiary. Puett is a brother of Duncan Puett, the well known attorney of Rockville.

A GAME OF POOL.

Llntli'ii the Scene of nn Kxcltlng Cuiiti'st Over the Fascinating Game,

Yesterday afternoon Wesley Stewart, of lioachdale, and Ellis Newkirk met by chance in a Linden saloon. Mr. Newkirk is the haughty pool shark of the town and delights to rope in a stranger. He approached Mr. Stewart and bantered him to a game, Mr. Stewart modestly stated that he had never played a game. Upon this assurance Mr. Newkirk graciously consented to "spot" him three balls and in consideration of this magnificent concession Mr. Stewart agreed to the game and picking up a twenty-five ounce cue proceeded to "bu'-t 'em." He drew back his strong right arm and the cue ball went smashiug against the triangle like an express train going through a milk wagon at a crossing. Ivory chips filled the air and when the dust cleared away three balls were found in the pockets. Mr. Stewart gaily skipped about the table and in just half a minute yelled pool!" as the eighth ball shot into the pocket. The pool shark from Roachdale hadn't even given the Linden shark a chance for his white alley. Mr. Newkirlt's mouth fell open like the "floral gates ajar," at a Frankfort funeral and gazing blankly he muttered admiringly: "Why. you dasliety blankety blank." Mr. Stewart took this as an insult, however, and started to divest himself of his coat in order that he might do justice to the fat face of Mr. Newkirk. Mr. Newkirk, witnessing the warlike preparations, made a rush at Stewart, whereupon that excellent young man jumped over the table and grabbing up the thirteen ball fired it directly into the face of Mr. Newkirk. Mr. Newkirk fell like 'lie price of pork last summer and curled up on the floor. He remained curled for many hours and Mr.

Stuart was placed under 8100 bond and brought here to jail, where he now languishes.

SPEAKING OF WHISKY.

Gen. Lew Wallace lEelates an Interesting Experience Ho Had With the Good Creature Years Ago.

lien. Lew Wallace came into Brown's drug store the other evening, having been restored from a severe attack of the grip, and remarked that he had consumed more whisky during the past two weeks than in all his previous career. This led to a discussion of the good creature and Gen. Wallace narrated a story that is not devoid of terest by any means. About forty years ago he was beginning his practice at the bar here and late one fall he determined to visit the Kankakee in company with Will Vance and Skid Vanarsdall. Now, no one but a fool ever visited the malarial and snake cursed Kankakee regions without comfortable supply of good red liquor' At tlj at time Gen. Mahlon D. Manson then new to military and civic honors was engaged in engineering the fortunes of a drug store on Washington street. They visited his establishment before starting, and taking him into his back room, required him to hold up his right hand and swear that the two-gallon demijohn ef whisky he sold them was good old rye. He swore to it quite cheerfully and with a merry abandon they loaded it up with the rest of their traps and departed for the river. The morning after their arrival opened cool and cloudy with a northeast wind which threatened snow and pneumonia. They shivered about the desolate little wall tent as they built a roaring fire and .before many minutes Vance had hauled the precious demijohn from the corner. With a glad smile of anticipation he opened it, and, pouring out a goodly drink swallowed it at a gulp. A miserable agonized expression immediately flitted across his face, but he said nothing, Vanarsdal followed him and being a cautious chap, merely sipped a small quantity, and wrinkling his contenance to an expression of pain and disgust, put down the tin cup untouched. Gen. Wallace followed and took a fairly good drink. It was the vilest stuff he had ever tasted suggestive of vitrol and all the other violent and corrosive drugs known to commerce. Next morning they tried the drink again and were in despair. It was if anything worse and Vance solemnly assured them that a small quantity left standing in the tin the day before had finally disappeared evaporating in the form of blue and odorous smoke." The liquor was simp ly awful. To drink it was out of the question, and to give it away to wandering fishermen smacked-too strongly of cruelty. They resolved finally to sink it in the river, although Vance objected, on the grounds that it would kill the fish. Vanarsdal, however, carefully replaced the groundglass stopper and then wrapped it with several thicknesses of oiled silk. The damnable mass was then tied to-a chunk of iron from tlie Monon track and sunk into the river. Orations detrimental and damaging to the good character of Manson were delivered and the ceremony was over. It was perhaps fifteen years later when the same party, with several additions, again visited the Kankakee and put up at the club house. It was in the spring and they had all forgotten the whisky incident of so many years before. It was unexpectedly brought to mind, however, for one morning Gen. Wallace and Vance were trolling for bass, and the former's hook suddenly caught on something on the river bottom. He gave a jerk and what should he pull over the side of the boat but our old demijohn. Time had allowed the water to get through the oiled silk to some degree but the glass stopper had prevented the water from mixing with the liquor. They

took their prize to camp, and not doubting in the least that the stuff was as vile as ever, they resolved to play a joke on Vanarsdal. He was called upon by Vance and informed that a friend in this city had forwarded them a most elegant quality of whisky. With a smiling face Vance drew the stopper and pQuring out a large drink handed it to Vanarsdal. Both watched him, expecting to see his face contort to agony. It did nothing of the kind, however. It grew almost saint-like as he sipped the liquor, and the manner in which he smacked his lips and rubbed his stomach as the last drop disappeared was witness to the fact that he thought it was good. Incredulously Vance poured out a small portion, and, raising it to his lips, suspiciously sipped a little. Delight fairly lighted up his face, and turning up the cup he swallowed the last drop. Again Gen. Wallace was tlie last to sample it. The whisky was as rich as oil and with a flavor more delicious than any liquor he had ever tasted before or has ever tasted since. It was superb and it went far toward making the balance of tbat fishing trip enjoyable.

The Nurse's Delight.

Every experienced nurse knows the value of a remedy which, without being an anodyne, will relieve soreness of the limbs or stiffness of the joints, and enable a patient to sleep quietly and naturally.

Just such a remedy are Allcock's Porous Plasters. Placed on the chest or on the back, if necessary cut into^ strips and placed over the muscles of the limbs, they work marvels in the way of soothing and quieting restlessness. Being perfectly simple and harmless in their composition, they can be used freely, and many a sufferer has thanked them for a night of quiet rest, grateful both to him and those who care for him.
