Warning to Cigarette Fiend. Frank Blair of Clinton, a young man about 18 or 19 years of age, who is employed at the water works pump house, was taken with violent spasms last Saturday night about 8 o'clock, jumped through the window and escaped. He was captured about 100 yards away by two men who were fortunately present at the time. He was re- moved to the Artesian hotel, where he had seyeral more violent spasms. Two men were required to hold him until Dr. Britts arrived aud af- ter hard work the young man was quieted. Frank is a nice young man and bis only fault seems to be :hat he had become a slave to cigarette smoking to which the doctor attributes the mental aberration. He is at his father’s house in this city and ina fair way to recovery. This incident should be a warning to cigarette fiends. and parents should be on their guard.

St. Joseph Mo., May 1.—Last night Elmer Randall, a young farm- er Bolcoid a short distance north of this city, asked Ida Brooks to attend church with him. She refused and went with another fellow.
