The Books Will Be Experted.
I
Judge Fullerton has acted upon j
the petition of the county court in
the matter of appointing an expert j
to go over the books of the various
officers of Lincoln county. The
expert named is a Mr. McKenzie,
of Portland, and he is said to be a
first-class accountant. The wages
to be paid him by the county will
be $5 per day in cash, or itsequiva- j

course, the responsibility will fall

county officer to the last.
Wild Parsnip Root Is Poison.
The root of wild parsnip is a
deadly poison. It will kill cattle
that eat it. They fed some to a
calf out at college Thursday morn
ing and the calf is as dead as a
doruick. It lived less than three
hours after the plant was admin
istered, and died almost before the
experimenters had time to admin
ister remedies. Yesterday morning
another test was made. All the
favorite antidotes were in readiness,
anil as soon as the effects of the
poison were manifest, the remedies
were applied. They did no good
aud the calf, a second sacrifice to
science, expired in a little over, two
and a half hours after swallowing
the hull).
In each case a bulb the shape of
an apple and the size of and ordin
ary tloor knob was fed. The root
was a dark reddish brown, brittle,
and with a strong smell of parsnip.
A third of the bottom of each bulb
was covered with fleshy rootlets.
The first call was fed at eight
o'clock in the morning, ami at 10:45
the animal was dead. The root
was subsequently found in the first
aud second stomachs. The second
animal ate the root at ten minutes
past nine in the morning. Evi
dences of the poison became mani
fest at 10:40, and the animal died
at 11:45. The symptoms closely
resembled the etTects of strychnine
jvisoning. The calf staggered
about and ran backwards, the eye-:
rolled, the ears twitched, and the
muscles of the neck were rigid.
The body swelled and foam issued
from ihe mouth. A tro-car in
serted 111 the stomach allowed the
1 scape of gas that suu-lled strongly
of the parsnip. Amongtheantidotes
applied in the latter ease were a
drenching of milk and turpentine, a
hypodermic injection of nitro
glycerine aud a dose of aconite.
The tests were made to determ
ine the question of whether or not
w ild parsnip bulbs were poisonous.
They were thoroughly aud scienti
fically successful, and dissipate any
doubts that may have existed. The
bulbs came from the western por
tion of the county, where a mttulier
of cattle that tried the diet prompt
ly died. It is the purpose of the
college authorities to experiment
further with the bulbs in the hope
of finding the best antidote, but no
more calves will U-sacrificed. Cor-

It is stated that Gov. Lord will
call a special session of the legisla
