The total vote falls far short Of our full
voting strength. A copious and inccssant
rain added 20 the general apathy OF the
people, caused nearly 1000 voters In the
county 10 neglect the opportunity 10 vote
There was no disturbance anywhere. Our
county is divided into 80 many voting pre-
cincts that there is never any rush or
fraudulent voting. Every voter is person
ally known 10 the judges Of election, and
we never hear complaint OF irands aud
ballot.box stuiling. And this Is partly the
--tion of the problem Of preventing
frauds at elections.
Divide the wards or civil districts into
voting precincts Of not morc than 2jO
voters; make every man vote In his own
voting precinct; allow no approach 10 the
balot-box nearer than thirty feet, except
by the voter as he passes in TO deposit his
ballot, and We shall hear less OF frauds aud
balot.box stulling. This coupled with n
wise registration law, would secure fair
elections.

ADVANCES IN SURGERY.

at is the knowledge of the relation OF
micro-organisnls to disease that has rendered
possible the great advances made in surgery.
There Is scarcely anything to-day impossible
in surgical science. Some idea Of this may
be gained from comparison of the results in
surgery few years ago with those Of today
Ten years ago three fourths of all the cases Of
major amputation were lost from blood poi
son. Today death from this cause after a
surgical operation is almost unknown and
when it occurs can only be attributed 10
almost criminal carelessaess or ignorance. In
abdominal surgery greater advances have
been made than in perhaps in any other
branch. As regards the removal of trmors

MEDICAL SCIENCE.
PROGRESS IN SURGERY DURING The
LAST DECADE.

Contagious and Infectious Diseases.
Cases Lost from Blood Poison-Tumors
and Gunshot Wounds-Tke Need of
Higher Medical Education.
Apropos of the interest manifested by the
general public in the proceedings of the in
ternational medical congress recently held in
Washington, the following comprehensive
remarks by a prominent New York ply
slci9n, concerning the progress made III
medical science during the last ten years, are
not untimely: Progress in the science of
medicine during the past ten years has been
perhaps as great as during any previous half
century of its history. Formerly medicine
was a system of almost pure empiricisn It's
knowledge consisted OF n large collection Of
undigested observations. But in recent years
mich has been done toward LAYING scien-
tilic foundation for the study Of medicine.
Most of this progress is due to advances III
our knowledge of the nature and causes OF
disease. This is especially true of contagious
and infectious diseases. Here tho study OF
and bacteria in their rea-
tons to disease has done much to advance
medicine. This has placed in our hands the
power to absolutely restrict the spread of
epidemic diseases IL has become now only a
question of the application of well known
principles. And may add that it is espe-
cially In the prevention. rather than the cure
of diseases, that in the future medicine is TO
