improved Treatment for Typhoid Fever.
A high medical authority in New York
publishes a paper upon the treatment OF
typhoid fever that will be OF interest wher.
ever that fatal disease gets in much work.
1t is shown by an extended range of figures
from the large hospitals OF this and other
countries, that the current and regular
treatment allows q death rate ranging from
about ~ to 40 per cent. The writer urges
the abandonment OF the old methods and
substitution OF the cold bath
treatment. This has been tried
in the German military hos.
pitfalls with the -most surprising
results. Out OF 1907 cases treated with
"all kinds OF cold baths" the mortality
was 7.09 per cent. Ont Of 2,S41 cases
with intermediate, with water as the
treatment, the death rate was 1872 Der
cent. Of2,19s cases treated with "strict
cold water" the mortality was IT per
cent. and OF 2,150 patients treated in
this way before the disease had prog.
ressed five days, none died. That looks
like q pretty liberal margin in favor of
cold baths. But it is not the System OF
the schools, and physicians will not be
very rapid in adopting it.

CLEVELAND, O., March 12.-This after.
noon q boiler fifty feet long in the forging

exploded. One piece OF it went west and
crashed into Hugh Graham's house five

sleeping, was only slightly hurt. Just be-
fore the fragment struck Graham's house,
it wrecked a coal house. In it were Mrs.
John Scelaga and Mrs. Calava, both OF

Another fragment of the boiler. went west

Two New Directors to Be Elected on
April 6-The Bond Issue.
School Director Leyson has resigned his
position on account of ill.health, which
eompels him to leave town for a season OF
travel. He has been in New York for three
weeks. This creates another vacancy to
be filled at the election on April 6. when
Director Brownlee's term expires. There
will thus be two vacancies in the school
board to fill. II the school bill now before
the Legislature passes, enabling school
boards to issue bonds as required within 8
per cent. OF the assessed valuation OF a
school district, the voters Of this district
will be asked to authorize the issue by the
board OF an mount of bonds necessary
to meet the requirements for increased
school facilities in suburban districts.
School Director Brophy said yesterday
that all that could possibly be needed for
this purpose, together with what is now
outstanding, will not amount to a hal: OF
l per cent. OF the whole valuation.

fortunately, passed a great number of
bills, and some of those it did pass might
better have "died aborning." 1t is to its
credit that it passed the Australian cleo
ton bill, the anti-sure-thing and the

with the others of a commendable char

THAT'S WHAT PARTIES EXIST FOR

THAT'S WHAT PARTIES EXIST FOR
There is nothing slow about Senator
Farwell Of Illinois. He has a sovereign
remedy for the evils of ofice-hunting, 50
far as 1t applies to those who annoy the
occupants Of the White House for places.
And w are bound to admit that his plan
is not without its advantages.
He proposes that a list of what every
state Is entitled to shall be made and
handed to the representatives therefrom
in Congress, giving them the authority
to bestow certain favors in their respect
i've districts, which, when exhausted,
shall end the matter. Also that every
cabinet position shall count as a certain
number against the state, emitting the
state to that number less of appoint
ments.
This plan would give Senators and
Congressman more power, and the Presi-
dent less.
Senator Farwell has a decided opinion
upon this subject, and incidentally he
shows his dislike for the humbug known
as civil service reform, whose commits
si0ners he terms q committee of school
masters" This is unjust on our friends,
the pedagogues, for the latter are of in
estimable service to mankind, but the
commissioners serve but one useful pro-
pose, and that is to warn political mari
ners away from the reefs and shoals of
this monarchical ENGRAVING upon the
politics Of a republic.
Fsrwell is in favor, of course. of
q thoroughly partisan service. that's
what we are here for" he declares,
that's what parties exist for" True
enough. Yet 1t is strange that Senator
Farwell and the Republican party have
just learned this truth. 1t shows how de-
ceptive were all their clamorings for civil
service reform. The latter was a good
enough Morgan when the Democrats
were In, but with the Republicans in,
there is no longer an object in shouting
the falseho0d.
President Harrison, while still pro-
Tossing great love for civil service reform.
Is already showing his contempt for it.
and his political Ak Is beginning to fall
mercilessly. Whatever his pretensions
and fne-spun theories may be, he evil
IDENTIFY believes In the truth of Senator
Earwell's logic. =.

IT Is gratifying to know that, in case
Of a state Of actual hostilities between
the United States and Germany-for-
tunately, only a remote possibility-the
German-American citizens will generally
remain true to the flag Of their adopted
country. While deploring the differences
between the two countries, their un-
bounded sympathies will be found with
the people Of the United States, and
should a call to arms be made, they
would not hesitate to fight for their
