Tariff Reform in the Northwest.

Mr.. Carlisle said he would venture to say
few words on the subject of popular gov

resentative government, was thing that
was we'll understood. There is large body
OF people, moreover, who believe in the es-
tablishment of great central power. But
popular governmental its purest and simplest
form is to be found only in the
several States. 1t is 10 evidence of hostility
to the general Government to say that it is
not as popular as the State Governments.
1t has an important function to perform, and
its powers are as well distributed as human
power and forethought could design. In the
States it is different. There the Legislature
is chosen from men by the people, and are
personally known to them. Real, genuine,
effective popular government in this country
is found only in the States.

DIR. shurly Sends Some of His New Con-
sumptive Cure to Chicago.
CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-Dr. E. +. Ingalls,, of
this city, has received supply of liquids
for the treatment OF consumption by the
methods of DR.. E. L. Shurly, of Detroit.
There are two liquids for use in this treat
ment, each made as nearly chemically pure
as possible. Ope of them is iodine, the
other a solution of chloride Of gold. The
iodine solution is to be injected each day
for a week in incipient cases, then on alter
nate days. In aggravated cases, where
breaking down has begun, the two solutions
are to be used on alternate days, then SIM
ultaneously, care being taken to prevent the
formation of an Insoluble iodine of gold,
due to impurities in one or other of the So
lutions.
In specially severe cases. DR.. Shurlv ad-
vises DR.. Ingalls, to employ inhalations of
chlorine gas in connection with the iodine
and gold. DR.. Shurly .modestly states that,
while'he makes no such claim for his method
as is made for the Koch lymph, he has had
some results that he is very proud of and he
gives the outline of few of these.

A Lynched Man Cursed 1t and 1t Has Been

BURLINGTON. IA, Dec. 23.-Alexan-
dria, No., is doomed to the fate predicted
tor it in a lurid way by bad man many
years ago, who was caught in. some crime
and lynched near there after he had a trial
by a mob. He richly merited his fate. but
when asked if he desired to say anything he
turned upon the mob with scowling face
and hissed curse upon them and their
people, hoping that their disasters might
never cease.
That year fire swept the greater part of
the city, which then was one of the most
prosperous in Northwestern Missouri on the
Mississippi. An attempt was made to re-
build the burnt district. Scarcely had

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I

Hal
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-In all the hos
pitfalls in this city where DR.. Koch's lymph
is to be used. operations will not be per-
formed hereafter oftener than once in two
days. This rule was adopted at a meeting
of the physicians who have a supply Of
lymph and it will 60 into effect at once. The
meeting was rather hurriedly called on Mon
day, to take place in the evening, after the
lecture by DR.. Joseph H. Linsley, of the
Post Graduate Hospital, before the County
Medical Society. 1t had been evident for
several days that wide difference existed
among the physicians in their practice in
injecting the lymph.
In some hospitals the lymph was injected
every day, with constantly increasing doses.
until febrile reactions were obtained that
sent the patients temperature alarmingly
near the death point. In most of the hos
pitfalls the physician used doses barely SUI
feient to produce decided reaction, and
the patient thus treated was not dosed again
until the febrile reaction had subsided.
1t was deemed best to have an understanding.
Both Drs. Sheurer and Warner declared
that doses of five milligrams OF flvmphatic
solution of per cent strength should never
be administered under any circumstances,
and that they would only inject one-half a
milligram on the first dose and for several
successive injections. 1t is understood that
physicians who desire to use large doses
will continue to do so, and those who be-
lieve in small doses will employ small
doses. All agreed that injections should be
made every other day.
DR.. Prudden, the bacteriologist who is to
determine by methods of comparison the ad-
vance of patients in phthisis toward recov-
cry, says there are 1000, 900 bacilli in a Gu
bic centimeter of the sputa of consump-
tive. By using the highest microscopic
mower, nothing can be discovered in DR..
Koch's lymph. At the Montefore Home,
cases of phthisis were inoculated with from
one-half to three milligrams.

Azalia, Ohio, Near Toledo, Badly Scorched
by Fire Yesterday.
TOLEDO, Dec. 23.-At 1 80 this afternoon n
fire was discovered in the root of j. Mar
tins home, on the west side of AzaIia, and
in very few moments, aided by strong
wind, the flames spread over the frame
houses and the whole town was in flames.
The wind was blowing gale from the
northwest, and carried burning shingles
everywhere. There were no facilities for
checking the flames, and the fire had to ex-
haust itself. o.,
DR.. Schuyler's drug store, F. L. Dunn's
general store and 18 dwellings were totally
destroyed, very little insurance being held
on any of the buildings. The wires were
down most of the night and particulars
come in slowly. The loss is hard to determine,
but nothing was saved in any OF the houses.
Azalia is a small town on the Toledo and
Ann Arbor Railroad, q miles from here.

WATTERsoN DIDN'T BITE.
Duval, the Baltimore Baby Sharper, Missed
One Big Game.

One Big Game.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 23.-Duval, the Balti-
more sharper, who has just bunkoed several
United States Senators through the medium
of bogus baby, did not limit himself to the
Congressional field, but has been operating
on an extensive scale. About six weeks
ago Henry Watterson received a letter from
him, overfowing with fulsome compliment,
stating he had named his first born Henry
Watterson Duval, inclosing a richly en-
graved baptismal certificate and five tickets
TO a church en- tertainment, marked 81 each,
but Mr.. Watterson did not bite.
Being interviewed to-day, he said: ''The
first thing that arrested my attention was
the postmark. 1t did not impress me that
Baltimore was just the locality where 1
might expect a namesake. Then the bap-
tismal certificate was too elaborate and cir
cumstantial. 1t looked like a gratuitous
offer Of excessive proof Finally the indi-
rect demand through the tickets seemed con-
elusive, and threw the big envelope and
its contents into the waste basket, satisfi ed
that it was a very original trick of a very
clever confidence man."
