The receipts of the circus were stated
by the treasurer to be ten thousand dol
lars. To this must be added large
sum taken by the sideshows, the pop
corn and peanut men and all that class,
making the total amount taken out of
town not less than thirteen thousand
dollars. But this is not all, for work
was practically suspended in all the
mills, and the amount thus lost was in
the aggregate very large. And to cap
the climax the circus was one of the
biggest frauds that ever visited Burling-
ton.-Free Press.

This is evidently critical year for
Southern Bourbonism. With fair
count in Mississippi there is not the
slightest doubt but that the state will
go against the Bourbons by at least TO-
900 majority. Col. King, the opposition
candidate, has declared that the votes
will be counted, and has intimated pref
ty plainly that there will be trouble if
attempts are made to prevent it. The
Bourbons snatch up this declaration
eagerly, accuse him Of melting, violence
and tell him that he may get more than
he wants if he does not have care.
This is the regulation Bourbon swagger,
but Colonel King is too familiar with it
to be alarmed by it.

On Friday, August 26, the president
inquired for his children and wanted to

in cheerful voice, hoped that papa would

moment and said: "Papa, l will 60 out

CHRONIC Ply EMIA.

DR.. Robert F. Weir, well-known !
New York surgeon, says that the presi- /
dent has chronic pyemia or septic@mia. !
1t began with the chills of July % and
from that time the pus exposed to the
air has decomposed and been absorbed
into the system. Acute pyemia occurs
in the early stage of an injury and is
almost universally fatal. Chronic pya-
mia is disease only recently recognized
by the profession. There is fever with
numerous assesses in the glands and
muscular tissues. The mortality is
great, from rs to 80 per cent. He
thinks the presidents outlook bad, as
enough fuel cannot be put into him to
run the machine on its upgrade course.
The best treatment is good air, full diet
and stimulants. with early and free
opening of assesses. Py@mia was once
common in hospitals, but Listers treat
ment, based on the fact that the dis
charges from wound become poisonous
on contact with the air, has driven it
away. The wound is covered by Lister
ism, from the very start with dressings
peculiarly impregnated with carbolic
acid, because the acid has been found
capable of destroying all life in the
germs that, floating in the air, cause the
decomposition of the pus. Had complete
antlseptic treatment been resorted to in
the beginning of the presidents case, a
feeling of security would have ensued,
and the present complications would
have been avoided, for not only Is blood
poisoning thus prevented but also all
Inflammation and assesses. Under
Listerism the mortality of the several
compound fractures, for instance, has
been reduced from 35 to 8 per cent
Lately $50 cases have been treated in
New York and Roosevelt hospitals with
only three deaths. Similarly, in &C
amputations of the larger limbs, not g
single death has occurred against the
mortality in the past of 25 per cent.
