4 Another disastrous fire occurred
Saturday night, making three during
the week. The Tribune building
eight stories high was burned at
Minneapolis and seven men who
W ere on the upper floors were burned
to-death or killed by jumping from
windows. The fire started on the
third floor and at once got into the
elevator shaft, the only avenue OF es-
cape. The dead go far und are
Milton Pickett, assistant city editor
of the Pioneer Press; James F. Igoe,
Associated Press operator; Edward
Olsen, President of the University of
South Dakota, at Vermillion; Jerry
Jenkinson, a printer; W. II. Mill
man, commercial editor of the Tri-
bune Robert McCutcheon, a printer;
Walter f. Miles, operator and agent
of the Associated Press.
1t is almost certain that other
printers were burned and that their
bones will be found In the debris.
The building was owned by the Tri
bune but occupied by two other pa
pcrs, job Offices, etc. The loss will
amount to 100000, with $l50,000 in
surance. A hotel burned the same
night in S.. Paul and two men lost
their lives. 1t is also definitely set
tied that four men were lost in the
Boston fire of Thursday.

Few If any of the candidates for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals have
stronger claims upon the party than
Mr.. Jno. D. Shaw, of Trigg county.
He comes from the banner Demo-
cratic district of the State, where the
best aud most reliable majorities are
invariable given sin.State elections.
Mr.. Shaw is well qualified for the
Office. He has for many years been
Circuit Court Clerk of Trigg county
and has made one of the best in the
State. Christian county especially
should regard his candidacy with ia
vor. He is near neighbor, is sober,ex
perienced and well equipped for tie
place and there is no good reason
why any county in this portion of
the State should pass by the claims
of such a man and instruct for
more distant candidates.

Nov. %, with Miss Norella Landrum

ABOUT HYDRoPHoBiA

How the Poison OF Rabies 10 introduced
Into the Human System
The poison OF rabies Is received
most commonly from dogs, but IL may
exist also In other animals. such n.
horses, cats. foxes and wolves. Tn,
disease is caused, undoubtedly, by q
specific poison. and probably a special
germ will some day be found for 1t.
The poison is usually introduced into
the system by bite from some rabid
animal. but the simple contact OF the
saliva with the skin or mucous mem.
hrane. or contact with the tissues OF q
dead animal, as in dissecting, has been
sufficient to cause 1t in mon. 3D.
The symptoms OF the disease rarely
appear sooner than a month nfter tho
exposure, and not infrequently several
months elapse, the individual In the
mean time seeming perfectly we'll.
Not all of those. however. who arc
bitton, or who come In contact with
the poison. are seized with the disease.
Fully one-half, and perhaps two thirds,
escape, either because they were par
TALLY protected by clothing, or because
OF some individual power OF withstand
ing the poison.
The nerve centers seem to DO tho
particular portions affected, and ,es-
pecially those parts which have to do
with the art OF swallowing. The
| spasms of the muscles OF the throat
come on when the attempt TO swallow
is made, and it seems to be fear OF these
spasms which causes such q dread OF
water The peculiar sounds which arc
popularity likened to the barking OF
dog are produced by the iorcible ejnc-
ton OF the saliva which can not DO
swallowed and which collects In the
throat and mouth.
The experiments made by pasteur.
and the mode OF treatment which he
practices for tho prevention OF the dis
ease in those who have been bitten,
have boon SO widely commented upo n
that every one has heard more or less
about the matter Tho principle upon
which he works is practically the same
as that OF vaccination rs preventive
OF smallpox. viz: the power OF the
same or similar poison. but possessed
OF u lesser virulence. to render the sys.
tom incapable OF being affected by tho
severe disease. t- sets
The results OF the practical appllca-
ton OF this theory are still under dis
cussion. In the meantime II Is we'll
to remember that in any case where
an animnl is supposed to have Como
mad the greatest pains should be taken
not to kill him. but to keep him under
observation for sufficient time to set
tie beyond doubt the question OF his
real condition. II such a course were
followed much needless anxiety might
be avoided. Youths Companion.

The main object in view when
Republican candidate for Speaker
was chosen, was the selection of a
man capable of doing the dirty work
cont smplated during the present
session Of Congress. Mckinley was
by far the ablest and most cap able of
the five candidates. lie is a fair, just
and respectable man, but Reed is a
bitter, unscrupu lous and designing
partisan. He is the very man to
serve his party in the work of count
ing out Democrats, trampling upon
rules and gagging the minority.
His nomination was demanded by
the Bose, who elected Harrison and
their will had to be obeyed.
