WOOD ALCOHOL ALARMS PHY-
SICIANS.
Makes the Drinker Blind and Often
Kills. Food Commissioner Finds
it in Whiskey.
Prominent physicians are amazed at
the revelations made by B. H. Warren,
Dairy and Food Commissioner, who
says that some brands of whiskey con-
tain 75 per cent. wood alcohol.
They confirm the statement that this
liquid is such a poison as to impair
vision and render persons totally blind
after its use, and often proves fatal.
Frequent cases of poisoning from
wood alcohol have been reported at
hospitals, but the majority of these
come from dye and cleaning establish-
ments, cabinet and paint shops, where
the article is liberally used.
Report also has been made of men
addicted to the use of liquor, drinking
wood alcohol and temporarily losing
their sight. The dangers thus pre-
sented emphasize and justify the alarm
given by Commissioner Warren upon
his discovery that whiskies are being
adulterated with this poison and serv-
ed to patrons who are ignorant of the
risk tl:3y run.
Dr. L. Webster Fox, an eye specialist
and opthalmologist at the Medico-
Chirurgical College, says the Philadel-
phia North American, was amazed at
the discovery. He said:
“Each year at our hospital there are
about 3,000 cases of eye affection, and
of these about thirty are blindness due
to alcohol and tobacco. Usually anex-
tended boiling out process in Turkish
baths rids the system of the poison and
sight is restored.
~ “Wood alcohol is a most dangerous
poison, and many. cases of blindness
are due to its use. If the dilution of
whiskey with wood alcohol is generally
practiced there is eause for alarm.” ~
Dr. George D. DeSchweinitz, an in-
structor at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, is an oculist who views with ex-
ceeding alarm the sale of whiskey
adulterated with wood alcohol. He
said:
“I never heard of such a practice.
Some time ago suits were brought in
Baltimore, where Jamaica ginger waa
adulterated with wood alcohol and »old
to the oystermen and fishermen, but
such.instances were rare. Even the
moderate drinker, who takes his occa-
sional glass, will run a terrible risk if
this practice continues. The effect of
the poison is dreadful.”

Sequel to the Baker Estate Matter.
Frank Burch, a lawyes, has been in-
dicted by the Federal grand jury at Ta-
coma, Washington, charged, on fifteen
counts, with using the mails to defraud.
Burch’s arrest came as a result of his
connection with the famous “Colonel
Baker estate,” alleged to be worth $40,
000,000, and composed of land situated
in the heart of Philadelphia.
Two families, the Bakers and Hon-
eywells, numbering several hundred,
and scattered all over the country, are
the claimants of this mysterious for-
tune. |
Burch ‘was first retained by the Hon-
eywell family, of Centralia, Wash., but
it is alleged, soon attempted to increase
the number of his clients by sending
out circular letters to all branches of
the Baker and Honeywell families,
asking each person for a power of at-
tornoy and a retainer of $25.
To all inquiries for particulars Burch
replied that he would not trust his evi-
dence to the mails. Suspicions of his
good faith soon arose, and his arrest
followed.

ANIINDIAN SCOUTS
BRAVERY
' The recent visit of Lieut.-Gen. Miles
to Oklahoma and his retirement frem
the command of the Usited States
Army brings into promimence again
that old army scout, whe annually
visits Gen. Miles in Washington,
Amos Chapman, of whem Miles says:
“Chapman performed one of the brav-
est deeds in the annals of the army.”
Amos Chapman now lives out im
Weods County, in western Oklahoma,
where, when the Cherokee strip was
opened to settlement, he teok a claim
mear Cettoawood Jake. He fre
quently appears in Alva and other
larger west side towns om busl-
ness with the Government land offices,
but as a rule he sticks close to his
claim, except during the time of his
sojourn with his old commander in
Washington,
Chapman is ome of that fast dis-
appearing type of men who lived in
the Western country when it was not
safe to venture far from the scattered
army posts. He is one of the most
celebrated Indian scouts now living
in the Southwest, coming to Okla-
homa first in 1868, when Gen. Custer
was operating against the Cheyennes,
Arapahoes, Commanches and Kiowas.
Prior to that time Chapman was in
the employ of the Government as
courier and scout at Forts Harker,
Larned and Dedge in Kansas. At
Fort Supply, Oklahoma, Chapman was
chief of scouts for years, his employ-
ment ending when the fort was aband-
oned by the Government a few years
ago. He is chiefly noted for the fight,
in which he was a main feature, with
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes at a
point near the Antelope hills along
the western Oklahoma-Texias border,
in which battle he lost a leg. This
occurred in 1874, when Gen. Miles was
conducting a punitive campaign
against these Indians.
Gen. Miles, with the main force,
was near what was then known as
Canon Blanco, and the rations running
short, Chapman and four soldiers were
sent back toward Fort Supply to in-
tercept the supply train and guide it
to the command. On the morning of
the second day after leaving Gen.
Miles’s command the party of five
was attacked at daylight just north of
the Antelope hills by a large body of
mounted Indians, Every horse be-
longing to the soldiers was killed at
the first fire, and one of the soldiers,
William Dixon, was wounded in both
shoulders. An attempt by the party
to reach the crest of a hill was inter-
cepted by the Indians, who rode be-
tween the soldiers and the hills, but
another attempt, this time to reach a
buffalo wallow, was successful, all but
Dixon reaching it in safety. A num-
ber of Indians were killed and the
remainder withdrew out of rifle range.
All the packs were lost with the
horses, but a German soldier with the
party had a hunting knife, and with
this he threw up breasworks for the
protection of the men. Chapman turn-
ed his attention to the rescue of Dix-
on, whose wounds prevented him
from reaching the wallow. He reach-
ed Dixon safely, and, with the
wounded man on his back, started
again for the wallow. Several times
he allowed his burden to slide to the
ground in order to shoot at the In-
dians, who would come in close range
and fire at the two men. When with-
in a quarter of a mile of the wallow,
however, Chapman was struck by a
bullet on the shinbone of the right
leg and the bome shattered, and im-
mediately another struck him on the
right ankle. Still, Chapman did not
give up, but clutching the soldier’s
blouse in one hand, he continued to
drag Dixon until he reached the wal-
low, Chapman crawling ahead and
stopping at intervals to fire at the In-
dians, who would approach teo close
for safety. In the shallow hole
scooped out by the German the
wounded were placed. Chapman, i
addition to his wounds, had two bul-
let holes through his hat aad three
through his coat.
Pixon died early the next morning,
and for five days the four men held
off a band of Indians estimated at 130
strong. At any time a charge by the
Indians would have emded the fight,
but they knew that in attempting it
some of them would be killed. Dur-
ing all these five days the men were
without food and for two days with-
out water, but on the third day a
good rain fell, thus relieving their
sufferings so far as thirst was con-
cerned. All four were wounded dur-
ing the fight. On the afternoon of
the fifth day the soldiers saw the In-
dians hurriedly ride together and
scamper swiftly away, and within a
few minutes four troops of cavalry,
commanded by Major Price, came ine
to sight. A brief skirmish with the
Indians followed, resulting in victory,
for the troops and the rescue of Chap-
man and his companions, Dixon was
buried in the buffalo wallow where
the fight had been so bitter. When
rescued, Chapman and his men had
but one rifle cartridge left, together
with several rounds of revolver am-
munition, and Major Price had no food
for them excepting mule meat. With
Chapman and the other wounded men
on horseback, the march was resum-
ed, and within four days more the
supply train was located and guided
to Miles’s headquarters.
Twenty days later, by order of Gen.
Miles, Chapman was removed to Fort
Supply, where his right leg was am-
putated. He remained in the hospital
just six days, and within a month was
again in the saddle. It was of the
fight in the buffalo wallow and the
rescue of the wounded man by Chap-
man that Gen. Miles made the state-
ferred to above, that ‘“Chap-
man had performed one of the hea
est deeds in the annals of the army.”

A BARGAIN FOR FARMERS.
The New-York Tribune Farmer, na-
tional illustrated agricultural weekly
of twenty large pages, has no superior
as a thoroughly practical and helpful
publication for the farmer and every
member of his family, and the publish-
ers are determined tq give it a circula-
tion unequalled by any paper of its
class in the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising, up-
to-date farmer always reads his own
local weekly newspaper, The New-
York Tribune Farmer has made an ex-
ceedingly liberal arrangement which
enables us to offer the two papers at so
low a price that no farmer can afford
to lose the opportunity.
The price of The New-York Tribune
I'armer is $1.00 a year and Tue SOMER-
ser County STAR is $1.50 a year, but
both papers will be sent for a full year
if you forward $1.50 to Tne Star, Elk
Lick, Pa.
Send your name and address to The
City. and a specimen copy of that paper
will be mailed to you. tf
Our Calendars.
As per announcement of Jan. 28th,
Tue Star has issued an additional sup-
gly of handsome art calendars. They
are in two designs, one showing a hand-
some street scene of our own town, the
other a handsome picture of the old
stone bridge one mile cast of Grants-
ville, Md. We printed no calendars
showing Tub Mill Run Falls, as we bad
intended, owing to the fact that the
cut we intended to use did not give
satisfaction.
Our calendars are fine works of art,
and they are for distribution among
Star subscribers only. The conditions
upon which they can be obtained were
stated in our issue of Jan. 28th, but we
have since decided to modify the con-
ditions somewhat, as follows: Every
subscriber whose subscription is paid
to date is entitled to one calendar.
Subscribers in arrears must pay at
l=axt $1.00 on account in order to get
one, and new subscribers must pay at:
l-ast 50 cents for a three-month sub-
»cription. Subscribers who cannot eall
at our oflice for their calendars, must
remit 5 cents to pay pcstage, or 10 cents
if a copy of both calendars is wanted.
~ubreribers desiring more than one
calendar, will be required to pay 10
cents for each extra copy, besides the
postage, if calendars are to be sent by
mail. tf
