CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 9.-Dr. He.
Brainard, one of Cleveland's most en-
inent practitioners, has for the last few
days been experimenting with the So
called elixir of life of DIR. Brown Sc
guard. The elixir was prepared from
the glands of a young sheep and it was
used on several patients with startling
success. DIR. Brainard'S first injection
was made into his own system, and the
effect on him was STRENGTHENING in a
remarkable degree. Without their
knowledge DR.. Brainard tried the dis
covery on several patients and in each
case there was marked Improvement.
One man aged 20 had been gradually
sinking away and for weeks has not
been able to leave his bed. DIR. Brain
ard injected drachm of the fluid into
the old mans skin and the next day
he arose and walked mile. He de-
scribed himself as feeling twenty
years younger.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 9.-The
Mellow verdict seems to be bearing
its legitimate fruits and the nimble
pistol is again at work in the palmetto
state. There has been a dozen or
or more shooting ard cutting scrapes
in the state within the last week. Some
of these have found their way to the
public through the Associated Press,
but only in places where death re-
suited. The latest occurred in Laur-
ems county yesterday, when 0. w.
Lansford. prominent citizen, shot
and killed Barrett Langston, both
white. A vendetta between the Lans-
fords and the LanstOns has been de-
clared and both parties are now on
the war path in Bamberg. tThere is also
a vendetta ON between the Prices and
the StewOrs growing out of caneing
and shooting scrapeS that occurred
several days ago. In Charleston the
colored men are following closely in
the footsteps of their white brothers,
and are using the shot gun, pistol and
razor with lively effect. There have
been no less than five or six shooting
and cutting 5crapes in the last three
day. The News and Courier this
morning says: 1.-The state is smeared
with blood from the sea coast to the
mountains and there is no telling
where the next shot will strike. What
are we going to do about it? We need
not try to hide:the fact that the ad-
ministration of Justice has fallen into
a STAGE of iunocuous desuetude. The
pre- SIS and pulpit should speak out now
and all the time against the violation of
the law and should denounce every
miscarriage of justice as blot upon
civilization and an outrage upon hui
manity.''

WAsHINGroN, D. c.. Aug, s.-Dr.
Wiley, Chemist Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has just
placed in the hands of the secretary
of Agriculture for publication the re-
ports of experiments in the manufact-
ure of sugar by diffusion at Magnolia
Station, Lawrence La, on the planta-
ton of ex- Gov. 81, C. Warmoth. The
reports were prepared by Guilford l.,
Spencer. one of DIR. Wiley'S assistants.
who was detailed to perform the chem
zeal work in connection with the man
ufacture of sugar by diffusion on the
Governors plantation. The report
recites numerous hindrances and diff
culties, the principal ones due to de-
fectS in the German cutter In use, and
offers some practical suggestions for
Improvement in the machinery used
in the diffusion process. In spite,
however, Of the difficulties referred to
in the work at the Magnolia plantation,
and which comprised the manufacture
of /, 35S ,230 pounds of sugar, the COM
parison between the mill work and the
diffusion process was in favor of the
latter by Yield of 64.1 pounds of sugar
to the ton of cane, the diffusion aver
age being 222 pounds, and that of the
mill 1879 mora over, the latter in
Guided several tons treated by the
diffusion process, but SO involved with
the mill work that the chemist in
charge found it necessary to call and
include it all in mill work, making the
difference in favor of the diffusion
process even more marked than these
figures indicate In connection with
with this work it may be stated as a re-
suit of the work of the Department of
Agriculture during the last four or five
years that the improvement in meth
DDS and the application of chemical
control to the sugar factories, notably
the extension of the diffusion process
has already resulted in raising the
highest average of sugar per ton of
cane from $50 pounds to more than 200
pounds. There seems every
likelihood that this increase
in the general average of the state, a
result that will add about $4,000, 000
yearly to the annual crop of the state.
Already four large plantatiOns-Mag-

Mary Miskey. his wife had not bee IN
one perpetual honeymoon. One day
lie suggested that he would like to
have little talk with her Mrs. McFar-

his invitation to Mrs Mcfarland was a
very poor piece of military tactics.
When in this interview he suggested
to his wife that by turning over new
leaf they might live happily again Mrs.
Mcfarland naively observed that he
could hardly expect to live happily
with a wife whom he had accused of
improper conduct with DIR. Henderson
and Captain Dempsey. He denied
most emphatically that he had ever
questioned his wife's fidelity. but it
did not do any good. Mrs Fletcher
went on packing up her things and

six DAYS after occurred the dog cart

Mo- Changes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Rumors were
current in Wall street this afternoon
that the various interests in the bank
rupt Missouri, Kansas and Texas COM
pany had compromised their differen-
ces. They helped to make somewhat
better market for Missouri Pacific, and
stimulated some trading in Missouri,
Kansas and Texas bonds. So far as
can be learned Othere is no change in
the attitude of the various interests in
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas COM
pany towards each other. The terms
of the reported settlement were the
same that have been discussed during
the last few months. Since they were
suggested, by certain of the interests,
the status of Kansas and Texas affairs
has changed materially. a commit
| tee appointed by the court in charge of
| the property has reported the por-
| tion of the company's lines
lying south of DeniSOn in
Texas, are entitled to constructive
mileage of one and one-half on account
of the shorter haul in that region and
| the terminal facilities of the southern
lines supply for the general traffic of
the company. Besides, the receivers
have found a direct outlet for the COM
pany to Kansas City over the Kansas
| City s. Pacific railroad, with which
| they have made close traffic contract.
These two developments are clearly adj
verse to the holders of the first mort
| gage z per cent bonds, whose lien is
solely upon the main line north of
| Denison. a majority of the stock
holders of the company have expressed
a willingness to submit to an assess
ment sufficiently large to provide funds
| to duplicate the main line should the
first mortgage bondholders take it I'M
der foreclosure, as they now say they
will do rather than submit to any re-
duction in the principal or interest OF
their bonds. An alliance between the
company and the Chicago s. Alton
road has been spoken of, but so far as
can be learned has not been considered
by either company.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Chicago COM
mittee on relief for the destitute coal
miners at Streator, H., and elsewhere
in northern Illinois, headed by Con-
gresham LaWler, has issued an adj

and suggests that a further conference
be held with a view, if possible of fix
ing the rate at 75c and a resumption of
work throughout the district. The
