A WOMAN POISONS HER PARENTS
AND SISTERS AND SUICIDES.
Whitewater, Wis., Dec. 8.—~One of the
most startling oriminal cases in the his-
tory of Wisconsin has developed here
within the past few days, About four
ears ago the Horan family removed to
Whitewater from Kosh Kanong, 6 miles
from here. About a year afterward the
mother died saddenly, six weeks later
the father expired, and in one week more
one of the daaghters breathed her last,
The matter excited considerable come
ment at the time, but it seems never to
have been conspicuous enough to wars
rant a legal investigation. Now Miss
Anna is dead, A few days ago Miss Ho.
ran complained of feeling ill, Moaday
evening she woke with great pain and
asked for her friends. Three physicians
were called, but they conld not help her,
and next morning she died. An inquest
was held, and so thoroughly did they be-
lieve the girl bad been poisoned that
the contents of the stomach were sent to
Prof. Bode, of Millwaukee, for chemical
analysis. To-day the third sister, Miss
Nettie, died of poison, making the fifth
member of the family. In this ease it
was suicide, and before death Nettie con
fessed to having murdered her parents
aad two sisters. It is asserted that she
also confessed to poisoning another per«
son, though this ia doubted. No cause is
assigned. Her own death was brought
about by fear of exposure through the
analysis of her sister's stomach, Nettie
was & school teacher and has two sisters
still liviog at Fort Atkinson,

WHAT DO THE DRUGGISTS BAY ?
They know what the people eall for,
and they hear what their patrons say as
to whether the medicines they buy work
well or not. Martell & Johnson, Rush
City, Mino, say, “Brown's Iron Biuers
gives entire satisfaction to our custom-
ers,” Kliokbammer & Co, Jordan, Min-
nesota, say, “We sell more Brown's Iron
Bitters than ail other bitters combined.”
L. E. Hackley & Son, Winona, Mian.,
say, “All cur customers speak bighly of
Brown's Iron Bivers.,” A. Whitman, Jack-
son, Mian, says, “Brown's Iron Bitters
is giving good satisfaction to purchasers.”
These are only a fuw, We have hundreds
more just as good,

NARCOTICS,
Talking of poisons, the use of nar
ootios is not confined to civilized people,
The Peruvian Indians are so fond of
narcotics that they have several beside
the coon, the principal substitute for it
being the thornapple. Of this the fruit
is employed, and from it ia prepared a
drink which throws the drinker into &
deep sleep in which visions of the most
remarkable character are seen. The
thornapple was formerly much used by
the Peruvian priests in playing upon the
superstitions fears of the people, as the
latter supposed that by its use the for
mer were transported into the imme.
diate presence of their deities; and
though the teachings of the monks have
tended largely to dissipate these fancies,
there is still a large element of the su-
pernatural intermixed with the beliefs
about the thornapple. Sometimes it
produces strong convulsions or fits of
nervous excitement similar to the has.
chisch, rendering the drinker dangerous
The common thornapple is well known
in Europe, and in Germany and France
has often been used for criminal pure
poses. In Indias there is a olass of men
very dangerous to travelers, since they
make a practice of haunting the com-«
mon resorts of travel, and whenever they
find an unwary stranger whose appear-
ance indicates wealth, will take an op-
portunity to drop into his food a small
quantity of the seeds of the thornapple.
Intoxication of a whole day's duration
then follows, when the unfortunate man
is robbed and left to die or recover, as
the case may be, without further concern
on their part In BSiberis a common
fungus, a common toad-stool, is used as
a narcotic, being found in all parts of
Northern Earope. It is gathered during
the hot months and dried, then used as
an infusion. Bometimes the fungus is
eaten raw, when first gathered ; but this
is a wastefulness that no true Siberian
drunkard will tolerate. The toad-stool
brings out the natural dispositions of
the individual to s& remarkable degree,
the talkative man being unable to keep
still, nor the quarrelsome man to refrain
from fighting. Bo extensive is the
variety and so wide the geographic dis-
tribution of narcotics in one form or an-
other, that it would seem as if they were
intended for some good use, though the
tendency thus far, it must be admitted,
bas been to their abuse rather than to
render them of any benefit as a medicine
WRISTLING,
Whistling is a habit that probably
everyone bas indulged in at some time
gince the reign of Adam and Eve in the
garden of Eden. When a man is satis-
fied with himself and the world he
generally whistles in a low, soft, con-
tented sort of way. Then thereis the
little child ; long before he is able to
talk he will pucker up his hitle mouth
and knock everyone silly by giving forth
a consumptive little whistle As he
grows older the whistle grows stronger,
and by the time he is able to toddle
around the whistle is the biggest part of
him. It is now that the nervous mother
wishes that the whistle was in ** Chicago,”
but there is no way of getting rid of it;
it is the child's best friend, and he always
«carries it with hin. Should he be in the
pantry with a piece of mince pie in each
hand, and bsppen to hear his mother
coming, the pie will suddenly disap-
pear, an innocent expression will come
over his face and he will begin to whistle
how timid a boy is about going in the
coal souttle after some coal, and you can
tall the minute he gets into the dark.
He will begin to whistle as loud as he
can, and when he emerges into the light
sgain his face will be calm. He has been
whistling and forgot all about the ghosts
and bears. It is amusing fo hear half a
dozen young men as they leave the
theatre attempt to whistle a selection
from some opera. They never keep in
time, and their whistling sounfls more
like a flock of geese that has been shot
into than like a tuna
