frequent intercourse of convalescents

that strict regulations, rigidly en-.
forced, are the only means adequate
to cut short its career, and since in
diYidual power is unable to cope
with it, urges that every city and

laws, and let them be inforced by ill.,

also make it their duty to instruct
the people in sanitary rules. To
guard against contamination, he be.
Iieyes that filth, whether from dirty
rooms, poisonous inodorCus gases,
etc., should be regarded IS condi
tons which invite the disease; that
the apartments set apart for the pa.
tient should be Invested of all furni-
ture, carpets, curtains, and fabrics of
any kind not absolutely required /;
that discharges from the nose, mouth
and bowels should be carefully col.
lected and destroyed, and that all
clothing, bed linen, etc, should be
thoroughly disinfected before being
sent to the general wash. In case of
death, all clothing and unimportant
articles should be burnt, the body
should be Immediately disinfected
and put into its coffio, which should
be kept permanently closed. There
should be no public funeral. He
prefers dsinfection by chlorine gas,
which is to be set free in the room.
Ventilation for a number of hours
should then be insisted upon. Pre-.
cautions falling short Of these DR..
Staples considers to be useless in
preventing the spread of the infec-
ton.

RIDDLED WITH BUCKSHOT.
Another Fatal Quarrel Between
Mining Partners.


This community had not recovered
from the shock of one fatal shooting
affair when another occurred. The
scene Of the second tragedy was at
Belleville, and happened about half
past ten O'Clock on Thursday morn.
ing. The principals were Eli Johl and
J. C. Mcdonald, who have been part.
ners in some Of the first discovered
and best mines in Garfield district.
Bad blood has existed between the
two men for some months past, yet
1t did not come to any demonstration
until early in the week. Johl had
been to the mine at Garfield district,
and about Luning, aud all who knew
the men looked for serious meeting
at the latter place. Johl took the train
on Wednesday evening and returned
to his home at Belleville. About one
o'clock the next morning Mcdonald
came into the town on horseback,
went to Johl's house, where he open.
cd such doors as he could and made
disturbance with such q purpose
that it was evident he intended it to
be heard Finding this did not cause
the anticipated resistance, he raised
the window of Mr.. and Mrs. Johl's
bed room and used some very lam
guage, which is said to have been
more forcible than elegant. This con-
duct continued at intervals until to.
ward noon, when Mcdonald made
his last visit to the house. What
passed between the men at this time
is not yet known, but it must have
been of further intimidsting nature,
and made Johl anxious for his per-
sonal safety. Before Mcdonald had
gone seventy. five feet Johl opened
fire on him with a double barreled
shotgun loaded with buckshot. Nc
Donald was moving across the street,
away from the house, and fell dead
from the effects of the first and only
shot fired. Some of the bullets pass.
ed through the boards of the build.
ings on the opposite side Of the street.
Mcdonald was found to have been
hit mostly upon the right side of the
face and neck. One bullet entered
his head at the top of the spinal col
umn and was alone sufficient to have
produced death instantly. Johl gave
himself up and admitted the killing
To day he had hearing before Jus
tice Stephens and was discharged, thu
evidence proving conclusively tina
he was justified in what he had done
McDonald's remains were buried yes
terdsy, just one day after he wa
killed.-True Fissure.

C. F. McGlashsn, the proprietor of
the Santa Barbara Press, has patent
ed a system of railroad telegraphy,
by which moving trains can be kept
in constant communication with each
other and with station offices, thus
reducing to a minimum the liability
to accidents on the rail. The system
involves but little additional expense
and when all things are considered /,
such as necessary repairs to line, and
the fewer way stations needed, the
cost, 1t is claimed, will be- merely
nominal. The chief items of ex.
pense for introducing the system will
be the pay of operators, who must
accompany each train, and the trans
planting Of telegraph posts to within
q few feet of the track SO as to allow
the "trucks," or wheels which con-
duct the current to and from the
train, to run freely and uniformly.
In order to introduce his system the
patentee offers the free use of 1t for
ten years to the first railroad that
will put it in operation.
The cost of constructing q line of
Train Telegraph includes the follow
ing items: Two No. 4 telegraph
wires for the entire length of the
road; ordinary posts placed sixty or
seventy yards apart; insulators which
cost but trifle more than those or
dinarily employed, and light metal
lie truck to DE drawn along the wires
by the moving train. The last item
OF expense would probably cost from

Diphtheria.

DIR. Franklin Staples, of Winons,
Mimi, after an extended correspond
ence with physicians in most of the
counties of bis State, has published
a report on diphtheria, in which he
classes the disease as contagious and
infectious, and DEMONSTRATES that it
is on the lncreass--a fact due, IN his
opinion, to failure on the part OF
physicians in recognizing its self
propag ating properties; to want OF
systematic nursing of patients suf-
fering from the disease; to incom'
plete disenfection of premises at.
lacked; and tsst but not least, to the

$40 to $50. The only other article
necessary is one piece of rubber hose
say twenty feet long, which draws
the truck along the wires and con.
meets it with the car. Within this
piece of hose are coiled the inlead.
ing and outleading wires which con-
vey the electricity from one Of the
main wires to the telegraphic instru.
ment In the car, and from the instru.
ment back to the ether wire.

How to Cook Rice.

Rice Is becoming q much more
popular article of food than hereto
fore. 1t is frequently substituted
for potatoes at the chief meal OF the
day, being more nutritious and much
more readily digested. At its pres
ent cost 1t is relatively cheaper than
potatoes, oatmeal or grain grits OF
any kind. In preparing 1t only inst
enough cold water should be poured
on to prevent the rice from burning
at the bottom OF the pot. which
should have a close fitting cover,
and with q moderate fire the rice Is
steamed rather than boiled until II
tn nearly done; then the cover Is
taken off, the surplus steam and
moisture allowed to escape, and the
rice turns out mass of snow-white
kernels, each separate from the 9th
err, and as much superior to the usual
soggy mass, as a fine mealy potatoe
is su perior to the soaked arti'

How many leagues of weary land and sea
Can place thy spirit far apart from mine:
Can lure from distance dim some silent sign
TO set my sUul enfranchised far from thee.
Afar from eyes that never leave me free.
From tones that stir my heart like mountain

From Presence thralling as some dream di-

Alas by night and day all stay with me.
There is no distmce--not for those who know
