1t is said that the German government
will give practical encouragement to
Professor Koch by establishing bacteri
illogical institute, to be under his direc-
ton, and otherwise assisting him in per-
fecting his discovery for the cure of con-
sumption by incubation. This will be
very commendable action on the part of
the government, and Emperor William
will merit and will receive the approval
of the civilized world for such labor in
behalf of suffering mankind. An enter
prise of this character is much more
consistent with the humane tendencies
of these modern times than the slaughter
ing of Thousands on the battlefield, as is
the general inclination of kings.

Marsh Murdock's rebellion proved to be

1t proved after all less disastrous than
when we expected the Resubmissionists
would join the Alliance rather than the
Democrats. Had the Alliance nominat-
ed Governor Robinson, as was originally
contemplated and promised by leading
Alliance men, the Republican party of
Kansas would never have known what
hurt them. There would have been only
two tickets in the field, and the Alliance
ticket would have been elected by from
tifty-five to sixty-fve thousand majority
or more

MORE FIGURES TO STUDY.

From the Atchison Patriot
The more the Kansas Democrat looks
into the political looking glass, the less
he sees of himself. He knows that he
has cast 115. coo votes: he knows he ONLY
cast about 10000 last Tuesday. There
fore he naturally asks himself, what
has become of me!' Where did his
$1,000 votes go? He knows they did't go
to the Republicans, therefore they must
have gone to the Alliance. And as the
Alliance cast about 100000 votes; he
knows he must have furnished four
fifths of its total. The Alliance has
given the Republicans a devil of a lick
ing, but Lord. how it has annihilated the
Democrats! The Republican falling off
is easily explained. Count the $4,000
votes that have left the state, mostly Re-
publicans from the western counties and
add to that loss the 10000 Republic
can resubmission votes and
you nave it. The fact is, and
the figures prove it that the Republicans
were quite loyal to their ticket, while
the Democrats abandoned theirs to vote
the Alliance ticket.
Let us look at it another way: Two
years ago the Republicans cast 10000
votes, the Democrats 100000. Deduct
the loss on total vote of 81, 900 in the pro-
portion of $4,000 Republicans TO $4,000
Democrats, and we have left AS, 900 Re-
publicans and %, 900 Democratic votes.
Now deduct from the Republican vote
the 10000 Republican resubmiSsion votes,
and add to the Democratic vote and we
have this result: Republican vote. 49,
600; Democratic, ~, 1000; Democratic
majority, 1000. Our eaStwhile Demo
cratic brethren had only to remain true
to their party this year to have won a
glo.lous victory. as the Democrats
everywhere else have done.

How to Kill a Town.

We clip the following subjoined
hints. "How to kill town" from the
Fayette Advertiser, and commend
their careful perusal to those OF our
readers to whom they are applicable 4;
Buy of peddlers as often and as
nnch as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make a profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of the man
who has done much to build up the
city.
Make your town out a very bad
place and stab it every chance you
get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter
ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods good deal cheaper in some
other town, and charge them with
extortion.
Keep every cent you get and don't
do anything of public nature unless
you can make something out OF 1t
directly.
When you have anything to say Of
your town, say it in such way as to
leave the impression that you have
no faith in it.
If stranger comes to towntell him
that everything is overdone, and pre-
dict a general crash Of the town in
the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
and knife every man who disagrees
with you on the best method OF in
creasing business.
If you are a merchant, don't ad-
vertise in your home paper, buy a
rubber stamp and use it; it may save
YOU few dimes and make the paper
look like it was published in a one
horse town.

the village, and soon made the ma
tives understand what / was about.
We rolled rocks together TO make
basin in the village; and the pipe was
led up the slope to the spring. Itwas
no trick at all to turn the water into
it, and there was head enough to
give us fountain below. 1t was ac-
counted nothing less than a miracle,
and the chief offered TO send an escort
with me whenever l desired TO re-
turn to the coast.
Every tribe of Africans has its
sorcerers. This tribe had two, and,
naturally enough, they were very
jealous of me. They declared me TO
be fraud and bad medicine, " and
so worked on the feelings of the
people that they demanded that be
sent away. In this emergency the
chief called for test TO prove that
the charges Of the sorcerers were in
stigated by jealousy. In the presence
of about 500 people each of the three
was asked to conjure up rain storm
of which there was great need.
From force Of habit | had kept an
eve on the weather | knew from
the shape and drift of the clouds and
the feel of the wind that no rain
could be expected for several
DAYS. One of the sorcerers declared
that it would rain that night, while
the other put it twenty-four hours
later. | made my guess for the
morning Of the fourth day. The first
sorcerer brought no rain and was
ridiculed. The second also missed 1t
and was laughed at. At about nine
o'clock on the morning OF the fourth
day it began raining, and the people
came and cheered me. This settled
the case for all time, and the sorcerers
were sent out with the cattle, and
made to work and live like the others.
For four long years l lived right
there among the villagers, being one
Of them except in color, but | then

failing some of the queer and start

Making Matches.

The operation Of making matches
from pine log may be divided into
four heads, namely: Preparing the
splints, dipping the matches, box
making and filling. When the timber
is brought into the cutting-room OF
the factory tbs seized upon by gang
of men, who place it before q circular
saw. where it is cut into blocks fifteen
inches long, which is the length OF
seven matches. 1t is then freed OF its
bark and taken to the turning lathe,
where by means Of special form OF
fixed cutting band running it's entire
length, a continuous tool, the thick
ness Of the match is cut of.
As the block revolves and decreases
in diameter the knife advances and a
band of veneer of uniform thickness
is obtained. AS the veneer rolls of
the knife it is met by light small
knives. which cut in into seven sepa-
rate bands, each the size OF a match.
By this one operation seven long rib
bons Of wood, each the length and
thickness of a match, are obtained.
These are then broken into pieces,
six feet long, the knotty parts re-
moved, and they are then fed into a
machine, which acts and looks like a
straw-cbopper, which cuts them into
single matches. The machine eats
$50 bands at the same time, and a me
chanical device pushes them forward
the thickness OF match at each
stroke of the cutter. This little ma
chine, with its one sharp knife. can
cut over 10, ,OOO, 900 matches a day.
