How to Apply the Soda Remedy in
Burns and CaldS,

It is now many years ago that the
author, while engaged in some inves-
LEGATIONS as 10 the qualities and effects
of the aIkalies in infiammations of
the skin, etc., was fortunate enough
to discover that saline lotion, or
saturated solution of the bicarbonated
soda in either plain water or cam
phorated water, if applied speedily,
or as soon as possible, to burned or
scalded part, was most effectuaI in
Immediately relieving the acute burn
ing pain; and when the burn was
only superficial, or not severe, re-
moving all pain in the course of a
very short time having also the very
great advantage of cleanliness, and,
if applied at once, of preventing the
usual Consequences painful blister
ing of the skin, separation of the
epidermis, and, perhaps, more or less
ofsuppuratiOn.
For this purpose all that is neces-
sary is to cut piece of lint, or old
soft rag, or even thick blotting paper,
of a size sufficient to cover the burned
or scalded parts, and to keep it con-
stantly well wet with the sodaic lotion
so as to prevent its drying. By this
means it usually happens that all
pain ceases in from quarter to half
An hour, or even in much less time.
When the main part Of a limb. such
as the hand and forearm or the foot
and leg, has been burned, it is best,
when practical, to plunge the part at
once into jug or pail, or other con-
venient vessel filled with the soda
lotion, and keep it there until the
pain subsidies or the limb be swath-
ed or encircled with surgeons cDt-
ton bandage previously soaked in the
saturated solution, and kept con-
stantly wet with it, the relief being
usually immediate, provided the solu-
ton be saturated and cold. What is
now usually sold as bicarbOnate of
soda is what have commonly used
and recommended, although this is
well known to vary much in quality
according to where it is manufacture
ed but it will be found to answer the
purpose, although probably How
ards is most to be depended on, the
common carbonate being too caustjc.
1t is believed that large proportion
of medical practitioners are still I'M
aware of the remarkable qualities of
this easily applied remedy, which
recommends itself for obvious rea-
sons.-F Peppercorne, IN Popular

A Clip from the Clipper.
The Matter aViU be Pushed.

The Prohibition question is one
that will trouble the politics of
this State a good deal, we fear, be-
fore our elections are over. Some
of its advocates are determined to
push it to the front regardless of
consequences. All fanatics are
very much alike in their methods
and can never be safely followed,
especially in matters involving
moral reform. We want the cool,
clear-h headed friends of this meas
ure to shape and control it's policy
in our State canvass. We are
friendly to the cause of Prohibi-
ton, but do not intend to pursue
a course that will endanger the
success of the Democratic party.
We regard the success of Democra-
cy in the coming elections, State
and National. as far above and be-
yond, in Importance, any other
matter that may challenge public
attention.-LincoIn Clipper.
We are sorry for this needless
apprehension on the part of our
good brother Of the Clipper. That
the Prohibition question will be
pushed to the front, regardless of
consequences" is true enough, for
there are scores and thousands of
Democrats and Republicans that
are determined so to push it, be-
cause they regard the Submission Of
the Amendment as "far above and
beyond, in Importance, any other
matter that may Cor CAM challenge
public attention.
But there need be no worry OF
trouble about this pushing. Just let
the fparties everywhere concede
the peoples right to push where
and when they please and all will
90 along swimmingly. The party
that stands aside and allows the
people to push, will not get hurt
But if any party has the hardihoot

to undertake the tragedy Of the

butt the people off the track az
they come pushing along, it will
most assuredly mee.' the tate OF
that same bovine bigot. 1t might
think itself "plucky" and glory IN
its pluck and all that; but 1t Is a
very poor sort of pluck that butts
its own brains out.
The party that quickest he ars
the voice of the people is far ahead
in the race to win their hearts.
The people are crying aloud for re-
lief against the piracies of the
liquor traffic, AID they will be
quick to reward the party that
first hears and needs their cries.

Fighting a Tradition.

It is an old tradition that the Dem

pie, by the people and for the peo-
pie" and right there we want it to
stay Wheeling Register.
If we remember rightly, during
the last three sessions of the Legis-
lature, the Register busted itself

When the people have petition
ed, the Register has been most niosy
in its demands that the Democrat
ic party should reject and spurn
their prayers. 1t comes with bad
grace-the Registers quoting Lin
coins "of the people, by the people
and for the people"

Political Fraticide.

How perfectly ridiculous the cry
of party pride" and party fealty"
when political fraticide is raging
as an epidemic in the parties all
about us. Party nominees are
trading, selling and sacrificing each
other on every hand, and it would
seem that any effort to arouse par
ty spirit in Wood county during
this campaign will be an uphill
race for partizan glory.
Let one instance stand for many.
The other day a prominent Re-
publican nominee accosted broth
err nominee on the county ticket
thus:
"Mr. -, hear you are going
to vote for my opponent on the
Democratic ticket; how's that? /
can't understand it?"
Yes, sir, I am. lean understand
it. IW g5ve one 0ote for three every
t5me."
Were names given, many party
worshippers would be surprised
But this is only a single instance o.
what is going on in general
wholesale way
1t would seem that Wood county
politics furnishes a sort of ''Donny
brook Fair" where the offices art
the spoils and the gambling is DOM
with ballots.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

| STRANGE.-We have known mer
to read newspaper for over two
years, and when they have to pay
for it, order it discontinued. As
long as it takes no money it is
read. After discontinuing the pa
per, we presume these liberal men
will borrow it and still continue it
free. - Huntington Republican.
We have known some ditto, and
we want them to continue reading
the FREEMAN, if they do have to
borrow it. The Gospel of Temper
ance must be made free long
time to some folks, before they'll
help to support it.
There are, just two sides to a
Prohibition question, a right side
and a wrong side. 1t is hardly
probable that tie saloon keepers,
gamblers and other criminals are
on the right side. If you are with
them, look we'll to your footing -
Lincoln Clipper.
And when we consider that the
Christian voters who favor hcenaS
are on the side where all the sa-
loonists, gamblers and other GRIM
inals are found, the matter assumes
a painfully practical aspect-to
said Christian voters.
Col. Tom J. West, candidate for
Auditor, accompanied by DR.. Dol
beare, of Philippi, spent a few days
with our people last week. Col.
West seems to have made good
impressions, as we have heard him
very favorably spoken of since
his VISIT Banner Of Democracy.
Col. West makes a go5d impress

AS Superintendent of the Peniten-
tiary his services have certainly
been most valuable for she State

name and Christian care.

The Greedy Rescus.

Our readers will be shocked and
thrilled with sympathetic sorrow
while reading in this issue the ac-
count of the rescue Of the dead
and dying Greedy explorers, after
Il long and horrible ice-imprison-
ment of three years.
That a party oftwentyfwe brave
men, in the employ of great gov
eminent, should be allowed to wan
der and suffer in mountains~of ice
and snow for three years and final
ly starve to death-all but seven
of them-right on the highway of
Government exploring expeditions,
shows a laundering somewhere
that can never have adequate pun
ishment.
The sufferings and heroic endur-
ance by these explorers on the
frozen Northern seas puts the Gov
ernment that failed to relieve
them to most humiliating, shame.

CARRY THE NEWS TO JOHNSON.
A BIT Of Neaoa for the West Virginia
Freeman.
MUsCATINE, Iowa, July 19.-The
first trial under the new prohibito-
ry law in this county resulted in a
victory for the prohibitlonists. The
defendant James Wier, saloon
keeper, was found guilty on two
counts and fined on each the full
limit of the law. The case was
fought inch by inch by the saloon
men and was appealed to the dis
trict court. Similar cases are
pending against four others. Wier
re-opened his saloon to-day.
The news has been received with
liveliest thanks. We're getting the
same sort every day. The closing
sentence of the above dispatch is
most significant, as characteristic
of the essential lawlessness of the
whole whisky business.
1t matters not that these foreign
outlaws are found guilty of crime.
With unblushing impudence they
repeat the crime and are able for a
time to do so under the encourage
ment of such journals as the Beg
aster.

True Republicanism.
Kansas State Convention.

We like the democratic Democra-
cy of Georgia and Arkansas just as
we like the republican Republican
ism of Iowa and Kansas.
The Republican State Conven-
ton in session at Topeka last week,
adopted the following as planks in
the platform Of the Republican par
ty Of Kansas:
Resohed, That prohibition has,
by the vote of the people, without
distinction of party, been adopted
as the organic law of this State.
Resowed, That we favor faithful
and honest enforcement of the con-
stitutional amendment, that the
full effects of prohibition may be
realized, that the declared will Of
the people may be respected, and
that the majesty Of the law be vim
Dictated.
The next plank is just and Sc
we're arraignment of Governor
Click for his outrageous conduct
in pardoning criminals convicted
of violations of the Prohibitory
laws.
THE WHISKY MEN ROUTED.
An effort was made by the friends
of the Liquor Traffic to get the
question of Prohibition opened
up again by way Of a flank move
ment. The following extract from
the proceedings shows how the
whisky men were routed by a vote
of 296 to g.:
"The report Of the Platform Com
mittee having been received, Col.
Anthony offered to amend by in
serting the resolution: That we fa-
vor a Constitutional Convention.
This led TO lengthy debate, in
which the whole subject of prohi-
bition was discussed. Finally a !
vote on the amendment was taken
and it was defeated-yeas 81, nays
296. The platform was then adop-
ted without change.
Albert H. Harton was then NOM
mated for Chief Justice by accla-
and W. A. Johnson for AS
sociate Justice. Col. John A. Mar
tin, editor of the Atchison Cham-
pioo, and late Secretary of the Re
publican National Committee, was
nominated for Governor by rising
vote and three cheers, for which
Col. Martin returned thanks in a
most graceful manner.

Civilization and Personal Liberty.
We Move to Amend the Chinese

"A nlel lCdu CIVILIZATION uemanQS
that against the immigration or
importation OF Mongolians to the
shores our gates be closed. -Denso-
cratic National Platform.
Strike out "Mongolians" and in
sert "liquor-dealers," and we'll say,
amen! Nine-tenths of the saloon
lists of this country are foreigners.
A few months ago we noticed the
names of one hundred and seven
dealers to whom licenses were
granted in the city of Wheeling;
one hundred of them were German.
Give us Chinese, all the time, in
preference to liquor-dealers.
Like others, the Mormons must
learn that the liberty of the indi-
vidual ceases where the rights of

Again we move to amend by
striking out "Mormons" and in
serting "saloon-keepers."
Never was there truer sentiment
uttered.
What is the Mormon system do
ing? Let the same writer, Mr..
Blaine, answer:
GA religious sect, strongly in
trenched in one of the Territories
of the Union, and spreading rapid
ly into four other Territories,
claims the right to destroy the
great safeguard and imminent Of
social order, and practice as reli
gious privilege that which is a
crime punished with severe penal
ties in every State in the Union.
The sacredness and unity of the
family must be preserved as the
foundation of all civil government,
as the source of orderly administers
ton, as the surest guarantee of
moral purity"
But what of the Liquor Traffic ?
Strongly 1ntrenched behind the
laws of the general government, as
well as the statutes of thirtyfve OF
the States, spread out into every
nook and corner of this fair land,
it claims the right not only to de-
stroy the family, but every other
Safeguard and imminent of social
order" and to carry on as personal
privilege a business that produces
eighty per cent of all the crime in
the land-that laughs at the sa
credness of home, destroys the fam
lily, knows no such thing as order
ly administration of Government
and is the foulest enemy of mora
purity. Mormonism is dark bio
upon our civilization. But the lie
galized liquor traffic is of deepe
hue, and it covers nearly the whole
page. Let US a0ipe 1t out.
