Dr. Emmons Immediately hastened to the cellar and found the ten-gallon keg from which Mr. Uphaus had Imbibed. The keg was labeled: "Embalming Fluid" "Baker & Collier." "Folsnn." F.sides, it bore thati familiar warning, the cross bones and ekull. Mr. Uphaus, at the last report, was Btlll living, and he will doubtless recover, though his condition was, and still is, critical.

Mr. I'ogue to protect Richmond creditors gave the mortgage referred to to the First national bank of this eity, and it is confidently asserted that inane creditors will not lose a dollar. Why Mr. I'ogue has I en comp- lied to take such a course Is not really known, though an Item reporter made numerous attempts to ascertain the reason. Calls were made upon a number ' f the persons In whose favor the mortaes were drawn, but they all gave the same information, viz.: "Know nothing whatever about the mutter, anil liaven't seen the mortgages." A reporter in an attempt to see Mr. Pogue was informed by one of the household that the gentleman was sick today and could not see a reporter. Mr. Pogue has enormous sums invested in Arizona in what is known as the Arizona irrigating canal company, and from the fact that Joseph Klbbey, who has been looking to Pogue's Interests in the enterprise, was here from Arizona it is generally supposed that that business Is responsible. Mr. John F. Klbbey, w lio Is a representative of Mr. I'ogue, It ft the city this morning, and therefore a .statement eould not be had from him. SIX IIl .M)HEI FEET SKYWAHO.

Peculiar Itennlt of nn Ante-Xutul Xinuudemluiitling. RIRDSEYE. Nov. 23. Special. Dr. George R. Hazelwood relates the story of the ten-year-old child of one of his patients, who cannot speak to its father, though perfectly glib with everyone else. The cause assigned may be gathered from the following: Previous to the child's birth a difference arose between the parent and for several weeks the mother refused to spak to her husband. The offense, whatever it was, was condoned, but not till aft?r the child was born. In due time the little boy began to talk, but when with his father was invariably silent. It continued thus till the child was five or six years old, when the father, having exhausted his powers of persuasion, threatened condign punishment for Its stubbornness. This was inflicted, but without eliciting a word, though his groans told too plainly he could neither cry nor rpeik, and that ho vainly tried. Ttuse present Joined in the opinion that the prenatal effect of the parental quarrel made it impossible for the boy to Fpeak to his father. Time has proved the correctness of this theory. Though on perfectly friendly relations with his fatlrtr. attempts to r?peak to his elicit nothing but sighs. Death of .Mr. nnnle Ward. NOULESVILLE.
