THE LEGISLATURE.

While both the republicans and fus-
ionists claim the legislature on joint
ballot, enough is known to warrant the
statement that the former have the best
of the situation by great odds. The re-
publican strength is unit and with a
small majority--while the opposition is
divided as to the choice of a United States
senator. The democrats are almost solid
for Trip, while greater portion OF the
Independents favor Wardall. Trip will
not be able to draw many from the in
dependents, nor will the democrats
go to Wardall; and even il the opposi-
ton should unite, it would not have the
strength to elect. A republican will be
chosen to represent South Dakota in the
United States senate for the next six
years, and that republican will be Hon.
G. G. Moody, a resident OF the Black
Hills. You all know him.
Speaking upon this question, the HUI
ronite of the 14th has the following to
say:
Every republican elected has been
chosen with the understanding that
Moody was to be returned. Very few,
il any, could honestly represent theil
constituency without standing by Moody
as long ais his success is possible. In
any grand break Judge Moody is more
likely to receive . round majority 81
democratic votes than any independent
on the boards. In justice 10 the man,
and for the credit Of the state, Senator
Moody ought to have bis full term. The

FALL RIVER HEARD FROM.

The ADVERTISERS cheerfully gives
space to the following communication
from DR.. Stewart Of Hot Springs. In
commenting upon the result in Fall
River county, the ADvERTIsER aimed to
give the facts as il understood them to
exist without criticising the actions Of
anyone; but it is inclined to the
opinion that il the leading republicans
in that county would lay aside local
jealousies and personal feelings the dem
ocrats would not be so successful at the
polls.
There was no intention of doing the
doctor an injustice, and it is with pleas
ure that the following letter from him il
presented:

To the Editor Of the Advertiser:

An Adxentnrer in india.

In the new number of the Indian anti
quarry Captain R. c. Temple, the editor, in
the course of an article on the coins of the
modern Punjab chiefs, refers to the re-
markable career of one of these chiefs,
George Thomas, once the Rajah of Hansi,
who started life as sailor. Thomas orig
inally went to India in q man-of-war in
17S1-2, and served various chiefs in South
ern India, and by 1877 had found his way
into the far northwest to the court of the
Begun Samru at Sardhana, whose service
he entered. This he quilted in 1892 for
that of Apa Khanda Rao, a Maratha chief,
with whom he quarreled in 1895. He
was now a parsonage of importance in
possession of jaoir granted by his late
chief, and was able to help Begun Samru
when in distress. Upon Apa Khanda
Rao's suicide in 1897, Thomas seems to
have been on uniformly bad terms with
his successors, and spent most of his time
in defending his jdgir from their attacks.
In 1898, taking advantage of the troubles
of the times, he appears to have given up
the lands he held from the Marathas and
seized the district round Hisar and Hansi,
known as Hariana The latter town he
made his capital and established himself
as Rajah thereof.
His territory comprised 25S villages, and
paid revenue OF about Rs. 100000

And inasmuch as the Constitution re-

Union, suppress instruction and repel in

arming and disciplining the militia it is
only just to the States and the young men
who will compose this "well-regulated
militia" that the cost of organizing, arm
ing and diseiplining" should be borne by
the nation.
OF course it is simply impracticahle for
the General Government to arm and equip
the eight millions of enrolled militia" but
out of them can easily be organized, say,
one man in each hundred of those at pres
ent subject to militia duty, to be distributed
pro rata among the forty-four States. To
these the National Government should
supply arms, equipments, tents, uniforms,
and the same pay as regulars when called
into active service, all moneys and pro-
perties to be receipted for and accounted
for to the officers of the Treasury; and
these select militia" should be subject 10
inspection by the officers of the national
army.
The States will, as many do already,

empting the men from jury duty and mill
tia tax; by providing them with armories,
heated and lighted, transportation and pay
while in camps of instruction, and other
like advantages to encourage the young
men, who have a natural fondness for
military life. to embark in it. Such State
troops will prove of infinite advantage to
the States themselves, and in case of sud-
den necessity may be of infinite advantage
TO the National Government.

Hints for Nurses.

Dysentery and diarrhea are not the
same. Dysentery is an intiamed condi-
ton of the lining membrane of the large
or lower intestine; it may produce watery
or bloody passages, or both. Diarrhea is
a frequent discharge of loose excavations
due generally to improper food and chang
ing summer temperature. Vomiting often
accompanies it.
Delirious patients should not be argued
with. 1t is better to appear to agree with
them, and appear interested in what in
terests them. In this way you may often
give discretion to their line of thought.
Nothing that can endanger life, as
knives, scissors unsafe remedies, ETC.,
should be left in the room, and the nurse
should never be left alone with delirious
patient.
Cut sticking plaster the longest way,
not across the breadth. A skillful person
will tear it much nicer than it can be cut.
Keen in cool place. 1t tears better If
slightly warmed. Never apply it to a
damp surface, first dry the skin if neces-
sary. Do not let flies annoy your patient;
gauze or netting properly hung about the
bed or at the doors and windows will keep
them out. Never change bed nor dress
patient until you have everything ready
that you will be likely to want.
Liquid medicine should generally be
diluted with water. Keep all bottles
corked. Cover the taste of castor oil by
warm milk or coffee, or the physicianlmay
prescribe it in emulsion. Papier mache
pals and basins retain impurities and are
soon unfit for use.

THE LAUNDERING SPRING.
a Natural Wonder of Georgia and the
Story Connected With 1t.


Story Connected With 1t.
In the county of Epson, fourteen miles
west of Thomaston, three miles from Flint
river, among the hills of the Pine noun
tain, is most remarkable spring, known
as the laundering Spring forty or fifty
years ago, says the Flowerg Branch Journal.
was familiar with all the surroundings of
that locality, and as | have never seen
description OF the spring, and-so far as |
know-it is not mentioned in any history,
propose to give brief outline of the
spring as ! saw it forty-two years ago.
At the foot of steep hill, 200 or 800
yards from the public road, it burst out of
the ground in volume sufficient to drive
a mill. The spring is about four feet
across, constantly boiling up fine sand,
which is thrown off every day, forming
dark circular ring the size of the aperture.
The most remarkable thing about it is that
the sand all stops about sixteen inches be-
low the surface of the water. The water
for sixteen inches is as clear as glass, be-
low that as dark as soap pot boiling,
which it very much resembles when at
rest.
Occasionally large bubble bursts at the
surface, stirring up the sands, which soon
settle back in the same position. The
depth Of the spring is unknown. The bub-
bles make peculiar rumbling sound be-
fore reaching the surface, hence its name.
I will close this description by relating a
legend about the spring as handed down
by the Indians.
On the top of the Hill and near the pub
lie road is hole in the ground about ff-
teen feet deep and ten feet across the
banks, overgrown with trees. This was
once the laundering spring. Some white
man put up doggery where he sold fire
water" to the Indians. One day the chief
of the tribe got drunk, mounted his pony
and seemed to want to ride over every
thing and everybody he saw. He had rid
den his pony into the doggery, much to
the CONSERVATION of its keeper, and to the
delight of the Indians. After firing of
this kind of sport he concluded to ride into
the spring. His friends tried to dissuade
him, but he, with a great oath (for the
whites had taught him to CURSE, said: u
will ride my pony into that spring if l
sink in a minute His friends, his wife
and children among them, ceased their
efforts to prevent him, and in he plunged.
As the pony struck the water it ceased to
boil upward and went down in whirl-
pool-Indian, pony and all, out of sight.
The water burst out in short time at
the foot of the hill, where it now is, but
the Indian and his pony were never heard
of afterward.
