Cure for Diphtheria,

A lady friend of the Auburn IN. W
Advertiser has translated from the
German a remedy for diphtheria which
may be useful to some of our readers.
4. Munich, proprietor of a drug es-
Enlistment in Leipsic, Saxony, pub
fishes in the Pharmacist, medical
paper, a remedy for diphtheria which
has had surprising success. He ur-
gently presses all physicians to try it
for the benefit of all patients suffering
from the disease, and also requests the
press to publish it.
He says: "My little daughter, years
of age, has had diphtheria twice within
some weeks, with severe fever, about
1859 Fahrenheit. We gave with great
success rectifed oil of turpentine
(oleum terebinth ME rectifcatum).
Dose, one teaspoonful in the morning
and the same at evening"
Adults should take one tablespoon
full. Afterward drink little lukewarm
milk to allay the burning in the throat.
For children the second dose can be
mixed with milk, which will render it
easier to take. r
The result is really marvellous. The
inflammation of the abnormal diphtheri-
tic spots in the throat grows lighter at
the edges, and in this way they grad
ually shrink until in twenty four hours
they disappear entirely, leaving no
sign.
To quiet the infamed tonsils the
throat was gargled at first every two
hours, and then every three hours, with
the following gargle: One ounce chlor.
ate of potash to forty ounces distilled
water.
This remedy has been used with per-
feet satisfaction both by adults and
children, not one case ending fatally.
The Milwaukee Volksblatt quoted this
remedy from the German paper, and
afterward received letter from SUBJ
scriber in Mitchell County, Iowa, say
ing that "a child in the writer's family
was attacked by diphtheria, treated by
local physicians, and died; then four
members Of the same family were sim
ilarly attacked, treated by this remedy,
and, I am happy to tell you, all re-
covered"

A Story of Titl,es:

Mauy years ago lad OF sixteen years
left home to seek his fortune. All his
worldly possessions were tied up in
bundle which he carried in his hand.
As he trudged along he met an old
neighbor, the captain of canal boat,
and the following conversation took
place, which changed the whole current
of the boys life:
"Well, William, where are you 60
ing?"
Il don't know" he answered. Gath
er is too poor to keep me any longer,
and says Unjust now make living for
myself"
"There is no trouble about that"
said the captain. BE sure you start
right. and you'll get along finely"
William told his friend that the only
trade he knew anything about was soap
and candle-making, at which he had
helped his father while at home.
WELL" said the old man, "let me
pray with you and give you little ad-
vice, and then will let you CO."
They both kneeled upon the towpath
(the path along which the horses that
drew the boat walked). The old man
prayed for William, and then this ad-
vice was given: "Some one will soon
be the leading soapmaker in New York.
It can be you as we'll as any one. I
hope it may. Be a good man; give
your heart to Christ; give the Lord all
that belongs to Him of every dollar you
earn; make an honest soap, give a full
pound, and am certain you will get to
be great, good, and rich man"
When the boy reached the city he
found it hard to get work. Lonesome
and far from home, he remembered his
mothers last words and the last words
of the canal-boat captain. He was then
and there led to seek first the king
dom of God and His righteousness.
He united with the church. He re.
membered his promise to the old cap.
tain. The first dollar he earned brought
up the question of the Lords part. He
looked in the Bible and found that the
Jews were commanded to give one.
tenth, so he said, IF the Lord will
take one-tenth, I will give that" And
so he did. Ten cents of every dollar
was sacred to the Lord.
After few years both partners died,
and William became the sole owner OF
the business. He now resolved to keer
his promise to the old captain; he
made an honest soap, gave full pound,
and instructed his book-keeper to oper
an account with the Lord, and carry
one-tenth of all his income to that &C
count. He was prosperous; his bust
ness grew; his family was blessed; hi
soap sold, and he grew rich faster
than he had ever hoped. He then de
cided to give the Lord two-tenths, ant
be prospered more than ever; the,
three-tenths, then four-tenths, thel
fve-tenths. He then educated his fam
lily, settled all his plans for life, and
told the Lord he would give Him al
his income. He prospered more thar
ever. This is the true story of maj
who has given millions of dollars to tn,
Lords cause, and left name that viii

A PHILADELPHIA inventor predicts
chat the time is soon coming when the.
type-setting machine will be perfected.
and in use in all printing Offices. The
Philadelphia man is not far from right.
Prof. Clamp, of Estelline, some time,
ago became interested in the matter
and has labored on it to some purpose.
He had but little difficulty in construct
ing machine that would set type per-
fectly from the most complicated manu-
script, and soon found that by the adj
dition of couple of cams and ..
thingumbob it could be used to
write editorials. He had some trouble
in getting it so that it would collect the,
bills and put its feet on the desk, but.
has finally succeeded. He does not
hope to get it so it will pay the bills
After Office hours, by touching spring
it will turn out affidavits about the
circulation till stopped. One Of the
most interesting sights in connection
with Prof. Clamps invention is, when.
two OF them are working together, to,
see one of them stop and attempt to
borrow chew of tobacco of the other.
and being unsuccessful turn around
and strike the editor for some. Few
editors can look on this without she'd
ding tears. The Professor expects to
realize fortune from his invention.
and is confident that sales will boom
right up to the highest notch as soon
as it is understood that each machine.

HER LITTLE HAND.
Her little hand, so soft and white,
Like an imprisoned bird to night
Iheld within my own.
The beauteous maid I long had w0oed,
And for that little hand had sued
Till hope had almost flown.
At last in mine it trembling lay,
felt it's fluttering pulses play
A soundless melody; ..
For liberty it scarcely fought,
It was prisoner thought,
That wished not to be- free.
The trembling captive caressed,
The velvet fingers softly pressed,
While her fair face scanned;
Then, as her color rose and fell.
What joy was mine to hear her tell
I'd won the little handl
Obi little hand, so soft and white,
Whose touch can thrill me with delight. ;,
Oil will it ever be
That that fair hand, with satin skin,
Armed with u broom or rolling pin,
Will terrOrs have for me?

CDicago news.
Local Assembly 1907, of the Knights of Labor,
is considerably stirred up over order that it
has received from from the executive board. On
the rolls of the assembly appears the name of
the fugitive Anarchist, A. R. Parsons.
The executive board has ordered that
the name be erased. The order has not
yet been obeyed by Branch 1907, many
of whose members are said to be In
sympathy with anarchistic and revolutionary
doctrines. According to the rules of procedure
which govern the branch organizations of the
Knights of Labor q member against whom a
charge is made must be cited before a court OF
investigation. The verdict of the court Is de-
ferred until the offender has had an opportunity
to speak in his own behalf AS it is Impracti-
cable for Parsons to appear at present before
the board or anything else, it is claimed by his
friends in the branch that action must be sus-
pended in his case until the rules of procedure
can be satisfied.
This gauzy expedent which has been trumped
up in behalf of the Anarchist, has not COM
mended itself to the executive board, and unless
the assembly expels the Objectionable member
it will be deprived of It's charter. Parsons's case
can be easily disposed of without violating the
momentous rules Of procedure. A summons
served upon him at his last place of residence
would abundantly satisfy their provisions.
Parsons has been member of the order ever
since its establishment il Chicago-although he
never lost an opportunity to scout and deride the
principles of the organization. When the branch
to which the Anarchist first belonged was dissolved
transfer cards were given to its members These
cards were simply SO many recommendations of
membership to the other branches. Parsons
hawked his card about from one assembly to an
other, but his name was regularly rejected.
Finally he intrigued his way into Assembly
1907. He made the most of his connection with
the order. and when he started out on agitating
tours he never failed to take a knight of Labor
travelling card with him. A meeting of Branch
1907 was held on Wednesday night to discuss the
matter The result Of the conference has not
been announced.

there is quite large number of men and women

through the personal favor Of men who have
been at the heads Of departments and at the

they have dropped in, many of them through
consular or diplomatic corps in foreign countries,
until there are several hundred of them who
have no interest in this country except the draw

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Washington has as

city at present, exclusive of probably 1900 men
who are occupied as law makers or servants at
tie Capitol. is no larger than it usually is in
August. The regular residents who go away to
watering places during the hot months have
mostly left. The registers in the hotels show
but few arrivals. All social matters have been
suspended. Now and then newly-married
couple drop in and stay few days, but they
look wearied, and, with the thermometer far up
into the eighties, seem glad to get away. Peo-
pie are talking about the adjournment of
Congress, the presence of which body affords
no pleasure or relief to the people
or those connected with it, and six weeks hence
1t is believed there will be complete suspen-
sion of all operations, except those of the retail
merchants. It is probable that there will be
more of interest 20 the country when Congress
really adiourns and gets away than there is at
present in Washington. just now the legislative
body occupies the time and attracts attention.

the dullness is more intense, if possible than if
Congress was adjourned. By the middle of next

Aborigines Who Are Paid for Urging Legis-
iation in the Interest Of White Men.
Special to the Indianaoolis Journal.
WAsHINaToN June 12.-During the present
session of Congress a very strong Indian lobby
has been formed. It is composed Of eight or ten
Indians and about half dozen white men. They
here a number of Missions and are paid
By the tribes interested in threatened legislation
The strongest lobby is that in opposition to the
opening of any portion Of the Indian Territory
10 settlement and is known as the Oklahoma
obby. Four or five of the Indians who came here
last fall to remain and work against opening up
any portion of that country to settlement, are
fine looking fellows averaging six feet in height
and weighing from 210 to 23O pounds. They are
educated, dress like Americans, speak the En-
gish language huently, and are shrewd cum
ming fellows. They claim to talk for their own
people, but the truth is they hired by cattle
kings, aud are here in the interest of that class.
Nearly all of what is known as the public land
strip. in the northwestern part OF the Indian
Territory, and, in fact, a large portion OF that
country, is occupied by cattlemen They lease
the ground from the Indians for herding pur-
poses, at nominal figures, and il the Territory is
opened this business is ruined.
Another lobby is in. the interest of white men,
who want some Indian reservations thrown open
to settlement, and who are spectators.
Still another lobby mixture OF Indian and
white man, is in the interest Of the allotment of
lands to Indians in severalty. These men are
also paid by white men, who want to speculate
In the lands.
Another lobby is in the interest of appropria-
tions for educational purposes. and to pay for
alleged services of Indians during the late war,
and in assisting the regular army to suppress
outbreaks etc. This is probably the only genu-
ne Indian lobby here, and is supported by the
.adians themselves.
