ARE ONIONS HEALTHFUL.-A physi-
clan has forwarded the following to the
N. Y. Farmers Club. We should like
to know if any of our readers have facts
which sustain the conclusions given
"On shipboard ut New Orleans, i'll the
year 1919, in charge of one hundred
marines, with cholera among them, L OBJ
served that those who nte freely of
onions, supposing them to be healthy,
were attacked certainly and fatally,
Onions and salt cured the bite of n rat
tlcsnake on my son, and are considered
specific in all snake-bitos. / have found
four separate witnesses of phenomena
connected with smallpox and fever.
l. Onions in rooms with small-poxrot
rapidly.
2. Blistcrs rise in them.
3. They retain and communicate the
virus many weeks after the epidemic has
subsidized.
4. Applied to the feet of fever patients
they rapidly turn black.
3. They prevent the spread Of small
pox in thicldy populated tenements by
absorbing the virus.
6. A man with hydrophobia, in his
frenzy, ate voraciously of onions, and re-
covered.
From all these facts may be deduccd /:
l. That onions should not be eaten
when there is prevailing epidemic.
2. That onions sliced and frequently
changed are good disinfectants.
8. That experiments should be made
to test the extent of their usefulness.
For many years I have opposed vaccina-
ton as ordinarily done and hence hail
with satisfaction any means of mitigat-
ing the virus of this distemper."

THE CAss COUNTY DISGRACE.

On Wednesday of last week aparty
of coid-blooded murdercrs boarded q
train on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad, ten miles from Ilol-
den, i'll Cass county, and, threatening
the lives of all the passengersif any
resistance was made to their shame
less lawlessness, dragged from the
train Mr.. j. r. Cline, Judge Steven
son and Mr.. Thomas Detroe, who
were shot through and Il rough by
the blood-thirsty crowd. The Occa-
sion of the difficulty was the issuing
of and dealing in certain bonds of the
county. The affair causes the great
est excitement and nervousness in the
neighborhood. which had not been
quoted by Monday. More outrages
were threatened and feared, and the
Governor has been asked to send an
armed force into the ncighborhoOd,
arrest the ringleadcrs and bring them
tojustice, ana restore quiet. Prompt
action is required, and We hope every
one of the rufiians will meet with the
full punishment of the law. a fearful
blot on the good name of our State
has been caused by these m~iscrcants,
winch should be erased By a vigorous
prosecution ofthe offenders.
