Chronic Diseases Treated by EleC-
tro Manipulation Process.
To the Editor of the SUPPLEMENTS
/ am here in Chattanooga receiving
instructions as to the new method OF
treating chronic diseases by the electro
manipulation process. / think it the
most radical treatment for some of the
chronic diseases [ have ever seen. 1t
consists of hot and cold dry air, galvanic-
and faridiac electricity and manipula-
ton, applied directly to the affected
parts, together with regular course of
treatment with the latest and best harm
less medicines known to the profession.
Some of the most wonderful cures are
being made here with the treatment,
such as rheumatism, tumors, catarrh,
asthma, torpidity of the liver and diges-
tive organs. Female complaints, opium
habit also counteracting the i'll effects of
quinine on the nerve system. Calomel
tarGar-emetic and other poisonous miner
ais are dissolved and carried out of the
system by this treatment. [ am very
much pleased with the sensible treat
ment, and especially with their success.
Please inform your readers that [ vii be
in DeLand in December next, fully pre-
pared and equipped to treat all who
wish to try this new system.

CLAYTON and Bonanza Road.

Petitions have been presented to
the board of county commissioners
of Custer county praying for the
construction of public road from
Slate creek to Bonanza and Custer.
The board has appointed S. c.
Calkins, +. II. Williams and O. E.
Pemyell viewers to select the route
and report to the board at special
meeting to be held March 81, 1889.
An indemnifying bond for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses of
viewing the road has been filed and
approved. A good road was con-
structcd last season from Clayton
to Slate creek, a distance of about
fourteen miles, and it is now pro-
posed to extend the road from the
last name point to Bonanza. This
is certainly wise move on the part
Of the Custer county commission
ers, and when the road is con-
structed it will be an inestimable
advantage to that important min
ing locality. The opening of this
route viii obviatc the necessity of
travelling over a tedious mountain
Gus road from Challis, a distance
Of over thirty miles, besides the
saving of high rate Of toll which
IS exactcd upon that thoroughfare.
Another serious obstacle will be
overcome by the construction of
the proposed new road, and that is,
there viii be no impeachment to
travel the year round, a comfort
which will be enjoyed by the people
Of the Bonanza region, whose only
communication with the outside
world, in winter season, is upon
snowshoes. The opening of this new
route will evidently lessen freight
charges and materially shorten the
distance to the railroad. We con-
graduate the commissioners Of Gus
ter county for the steps they have
taken towards establishing a much
needed source of communication to
the mining section referred to.

LATE NEWS FROM YELLOWSTONE PARK
Gives an account of a singular and
fatal accident whereby four China
men lost their lives. They were in
Canyon City, near the Yellowstone
Park, and Get Sing had established
wash house in tent over a boil
ing spring. He had constant sup
ply of hot water, and was doing
good business washing for the
miners. Last week, Wednesday,
three Of his fellow celestials from
an adjoining camp came over to
help him celebrate the Chinese New
Year. They burned fire crackers
and offerings to Joss, and wound
up by getting very drunk. Get Sing
had been cautioned about the boil
ing spring, and told that it might
be a slumbering geyser. For this
reason his wash tub was kept on
the other side of the tent so that no
soap might disturb the quiet of the
boiling water. No one knows how
it happened, but during the carousal
Get Sings box Of laundry soap got
into the spring Possibly some
mischieyous person, ignorant of
the great danger, emptied the soap
into the slumbering geyser. That
night there was sudden spouting
of boiling water flying through the
air, accompanied by piercing
screams and yells. The miners
rushed to the scene and found the
geyser pouring water to a height of
hundred feet. The bodies of the
four scalded Cinnamon were found
later some distance from the spring.
The geyser spouted for three hours
and then subsidized.
ACoLD WAVE.
Advices from places as widely
separated as Boston, Berlin, Lon
don, Ottawa and St. Paul, all dated
February 4th, show that on that
date extremely cold weather and
disastrous storms prevailed. In Bos-
ton, Ottawa and st. Paul the Their
mometer ranged from "a degrees to
40 degrees below zero. A heavy
gale prevailed all over Nebraska on
that date. Buildings were blown
down and unroofed, at different
points. At Hastings the Central
school house was wrecked, one Of
the scholars was killed outright,
and one scholar and the teacher,
Miss Aldrich, fatally injured. The
storm was an electrical disturbance
and affected many watches and
clocks, stopping them about nine
O'Clock in the morning. Six per-
sons were killed in Omaha the same
day by the end wall of a brick build
ing being blown down.

THE bill which was passed by
the legislature and approved by the
governor locating the Territorial
University at Moscow, will no doubt
have tendency to dispel the seces-
sion sentiments Of our northern
people and bind them more con-
spicuously with the south, SO that
the annexation scheme will be eff
fectually silenced. While the desire
Of being attached to Washington
territory might have been popular
in the past, we notice in our north
ern exchanges that the measure is
now growing unpopular day by day.

Territorial Controllers Report.

Controller Wickersham has the
thanks of the KEYSTONE for a copy
of his biennial report for the years
lSS7-SS to the 18th session of the
Legislative assembly. The report
is gotten up in a consise and sys-
tematic manner, SO that any one
can at a glance at the tables the
report contains arrive at clear
comprehension Of the financial af-
fairs Of the territory and the trans
actions of his department for the
years above stated. The report ex-
hibits all the financial conditions
of whatever kind; the present and
prospective condition of the funds !;
the ways and means of raising rev.
enue and the mode and details of
expanding the same. The aggre-
gate amount allowed for the years
1SS7-SS on the general fund, the
controller says, was $43,646 81.
The estimated expenses for the ter
ritory for the fiscal years 1S89-9O
are S146,73O 90. The estimated in
come for the two years at $145,OOO
derived as follows: From poll-tax,
10 cents, $4,000; licenses and in
surance, $500; property taxes, IS
cents, 1924 900 lie invites the
favorable consideration of the leg
islature to this estimate of expend-
itures and income for the fiscal
years lSS9-9O; suggests that the
revenues Of the general fund be in
creased and urges the need for leg
islation on this subject; that tie
territory should receive one-half OF
the proceeds from the poll-taxes
and four-tenths from territorial and
county licenses, one-tenth of which
is now appropriated to the capitol
building fund, and three-tenths
could be transferred to the general
fund of the territory, which would
increase the revenues sufficiently
for all purposes.
The suggestions made by the con.
,roller to the Legislative assembly
which adjourned sine die last Thurs.
day, upon the necessity Of legisla.
ton in reference to the proper ap.
plication Of revenues, were import.
ant ones, and whether any provis.
ions were made by that body te
lrect the case remains to be seen.

sion. It says it is not expected
that German military operations in
Samoa will commence until sufi-
cient reinforcements are sent to the
islands. At present there are at
Samoa three German war ships,
with an available landing force of
800 men. Meanwhile, a gentleman
who was examined before the Sen
ate Committee in Washington, and
who is we'll acquainted with Samoan
affairs. said that matters had reach
ed a very serious state, and he would
not be surprised to hear any time
that conflict had taken place be-
tween the Germans and the Ameri-
cans. The natives had beaten the
Germans repeatedly, and according
to the Auckland dispatch, which he
regarded as entirely reliable, Ger
many now proposed to whip them
by preventing arms being sent in.
The newspaper read by Americans
had been suppressed and the Ger
mans had taken open control OF
the police of Apia. The American
residents contributed to the fund
for the support of the municipal
police, and it was bad enough to
have them under the direction Of
Tamasese, but infinitely worse to
have them under German control.
