A mysterious case of poisoning has | at last been traced down. Some weeks ago the Knapp family of seven | living @ few miles southwest of Ad- rian were stricken down with a vio- lent illness. A physician was called aud pronounced it a case of poison- ing, but the patients would become convalescent and relapse in such quick succession that Dr. Robinson, | the attending physician, was puzzled asto the source of the poison. A few days ago the source of the poison was discovered. A tank of hog dip was stored away In the smoke house, under the tank containing the dip were two cans, one contained lard, the other sausage, the dip tank had leaked, the escaping dip dropped tn the cans containlog the lard and sausage and from these cans the family got part of the dally food sup- ply. Since the discovery was made and the source of poison shut off the patients are on the road to perma. Lent recovery. This case has been something of a mystery to the public in general and {ts solution will relleve the situation of any suspicion. It ts hoped that every member of the stricken family will be speedily restored to health. Successful Season’s Opening. One of the most successful open {ngs of season’s new goods was held by the A. H.
