Correspondence of the Washington Standard.
DR.. Newell left again this morning
for east of the mountains, where he
will probably be for the next couple of
weeks.
lights new sawmill is also nearing
its completion. We are glad of it.
Times are always little more lively
when Hight is around.
Mr.. Novey's large livery and feed
stable is about finished. He has bug
gies all ready and has sent over the
mountains for horses to stock it.
Mr.. Forest, editor of the Lewis coun-
ty Bee, addressed the audience. He
did well, and grew quite warm and en-
thusiastic in the course of his remarks.
We have, however, one little hint to
offer him. In the time he spoke he
used the words Ladies and gentle
man" Sc times. If he had appropriate
ed the time properly, he could have
given us a little more of the "Dolph
bill" or " forfeiture act" We will say
for Mr.. Forest that the Bee is the only
local paper not given to slurring and
backbiting the opposing parties run
ming for office.
Last evening the citizens of Cen
tralia met in the middle church and
listened to some very good points dis
cussed by the two candidates for Pros
ecuting Attorney. Mr.. Robinson
opened the debate. He is good talk
err, gentlemanly in his illusions to his
opponent, and exhibits a refined and
courteous demeanor towards all. Mr.
McFadden too has a good command
of language and argues his points
well, though evidently he is more
vicious and has less refinement and
culture than Mr.. Robinson, though
would as soon cast my vote for Nc
Fadden as for Robinson if he stood on
the right platform.
Doctor Newell has returned from
his trip to the lower Chehalis country,
which we have reasons to think was
attended with very promising results.
DR.. Russell, of this town, met with
what might have been very serious
accident one day last week. He had
been to Chehalis with his horse and
buggy and was returning, probably
driving pretty fast, when he met an
other buggy and in giving the main
road to the approaching vehicle, he
ran on cedar root which shattered
one wheel. The horse going ahead
dragged the doctor over the dash
board and severely injured his shout
der. The gentleman in the other
buggy took Mr.. Russell to Chandler
Browns house, where he is being care
fully waited on. Drs. Smith and
Herndon examined the shoulder, but
found it only badly bruised.

SENATOR GORMAN's NUTMEG.
How One of the Men of Fame Was Cured
of q Case of Neuralgia.

Warrington Letter in the Baltimore Sun.
Senator German tells the following story on
himself: For many years he has been suf-
ferer from regular attacks OF neuralgia. On
some occasions he has been confined to his
home day or two. so intense was the pain
An old lady friend once called upon him while
he was suffering from one of his attacks, She
displayed so much sympathy that she almost
forgot to name the request she had 10 make
but she did not. Upon learning that the SEN
ator was troubled with neuralgia she volun-
ieered to give him an infallible remedy pro-
vlded he would promise not to laugh at her
or accuse her OF being believer in
con1uratiop, spells, etc. The Senator, IN
good -natured way, informed her that he was
under treatment from an eminent physician,
who sometimes afforded him temporary re-
lief. The old lady finally prevailed upon the
Senator to give her remedy fair trial.
whereupon she suggested that he should get
an or .iinarv nutmeg. such as is used in COOK
ing. drill a hole through it. attach 1t to a
piece Of string or ribbon, and wear it around
his neck continually. The Senator while suf-
fering one day determined to give the nut
meg remedy trial. He foil wed the old
lady's directions, aud in few hours felt
greatly relieved. He has worn the nutmeg
ever since. and is seldom troubled with neu-
ralgia He has consulted several PHYSICIANS,
on The subject, and they state that the nut
meg possesses certain virtues which may
nave effect on neuralgia pains.

The Origin of Scarlet Fever.

The opinion that scarlet fever is caused
by bad water or bad drainage prevails
quite generally. Discoveries recently
made by two London physicians, how
ever, seem to Justify the conclusion that
this opinion is erroneous. Their investi-
cations satisfied them that it comes from
the COW.
A few months ago the scarlet fever
made Its appearance in quarter Of Lon
don. A thorough inspection OF the local
ity failed to reveal anything to which the
fever could be attributed. Further in
quiry, however, led to the discovery of
the fact that all who were afflicted OBJ
tanned milk from the same dairy. An in
spection of the dairy showed that the
place was exceptionally clean, and that
there was nothing in the drainage Of the
place that would justify even a suspicion
that the scarlet fever had its source there.
The doctors-Power and Klein-who
made the investigation were not wholly
satisfied, and they examined the COWS.
They looked healthy, and all of them were
healthy, perhaps, but two or three. These
had sores on their udders. scabs on their
backs and the hair on their tails came
out easily when pulled. These things
were enough to justify further investi-
CATION. The afflicted cows were killed
and their kidneys, heart and lungs were
all found to be badly diseased. The doc
tors were not yet satisfied that they had
found the cause OF the scarlet fever, and
they proceeded to make experimen ts.
do i'm 10 fr0O no
the udders. and they succeeded in pro-
ducing the disease in calves and dogs.
This satisfied them that they had found
the cause OF scarlet fever.
In their report they say that they think
that the milk while in the udders of the
diseased cows is pure enough, but that it
becomes charged with germs in the act
OF milking, and that the germs multiply
themselves with great rapidity. They
give quite satisfactory reasons for this
belief.
The New York Times, in commenting
on this discovery, says that when scarlet
fever last prevailed in New York city to
a noticeable extent. DIR. Peters gave il as
his belief that scarlet fever is a disease
that atfiicts the lower ANIMALS as well as
man, and that the disease might originate
in foul stables. DR.. Peters was on the
right track, if the discovery OF the London
doctors is accepted as genuine, and IL is
unfortunate for his fame that he did not
push his Investigations far enough to get
at the exact truth.
Assuming that the scarlet fever which
sftlicts man is caused by the milk OF dis
eased COWS, it would seem to be a wise
regulation to have some sort OF inspection
Of COWS OF diaries. Such inspection would
not be very expensive, and might be the
means Of saving many lives and much
suffering. or course, 1t 10 not practical
BILE TO have all the cows in the country in
spected several times a year, but where
cows are kept in large numbers for dairy
purposes it would not be a difficult mat
ter 10 inspect them.
The man who discovers an antidote for
scarlet tever will render as great II SER
vice to humanity as the physicians who
discovered the cause of the disease. and
il Is probable that his fame will be great
eat.

A Word About Baby Coaches.

Well informed physicians insist that
the baby coach is the cause of the death
OF a very large percentage OF the babies
who are wheeled about in them. We
gave some very good reasons few days
ago for thinking that these physicians
are right. There is another complaint
against the baby coach which Is heard
very frequently in this city. 1t is that 1t
is very annoying to pedestrians.
1t is not absolutely necessary that 1T
should be annoying, but as it is handled
by the colored nurses it Is not only an
moving but is a nuisance.
But as the baby coach is here, and the
prospect is that it will remain for a good
while, nOtwlth standing the opinion OF
some physicians that is a oabykiller, might
not some regulation be made which woul Id
prevent it from being handled so as to
block the sidewalks.
If the colored nurse were content to
push her perambulator without the COM
panv of another perambulator pusher, or
il the two perambulator pushers were
content to give their whole attention to
their perambulators, the public and the
perambulators might get along very pleas
antly, but as a general thing the nurse
girls, when running their peram bulators
together are so interested in what they
are saying to each other, or in what
their beauX are saying to them, that they
make no effort to accommodate pedestri-
ans. They indicate by their conduct that
they have the right of way, and that pc
destrians must get out OF their way if
they wish to avoid a collision.
OF course, nobody wants to prevent the
babies from taking an airing in their
coaches. Some OF them look very pretty,
and most anybody would be willing to
get out into the street if it were necessa-
ry to contribute to their pleasure or to
afford them an additional privilege, but
as 1t is not necessary, it is not easy to see
why people should be so seriously incom-
NODDED in order to permit the nurse girls
to gossip with each other, or with the
young colored bucks who seem to occupy
the greater part of their time and atten.
ton, which should be given to the babies
in their charge.
or course there are those who will say
that people who complain about the
way baby coaches obstruct the sidewalks
are chronic grumbers, and that there are
plenty Of other things which are much
more legitimate subjects Of complaint.
II an attempt should be made to induce
the Council to regulate the wheeling
of baby coaches on the sidewalks,
so they would not be an obstruction.
these same people doubtless would OBJ
iect, and insist that the nurse girls ought
to be permitted to run their baby coaches
as they please. There are always those
who place themselves in the way of every
reform or improvement. However, the
Council might do the public service by
having the police notified to prevent the
nurse girls from wheeling their coaches
in way to interfere with the privileges
| of the public.
