ANTITRUST LAW.

To the Editor Of the Columbia Herald
Ihere is no law TO prevent one man
from killing another, but there IL a law
that punishes the willful murderer.
There is no law preventing mer-
chants, individuals, persons or corpor-
ations from entering into an agreement
or understanding to fix the price of
merchandise, goods, wares or commo-
| dities but there is law that adjudRes
each sush individual or person as guilty
and subject to fine of five hundred
dollars.
The law was passed by the last legis-
lature, and Is having ali effect greatly
to the financial good OF the consumers.
On one of the least items of manufsc-
tured goods, of daily use and necessity.
there is saved to the people of Boone
county $3.50, aud three TO four hun
dred thousand dollars TO the people az
the state of Missouri. TEsse Roods

A CURE FOB DIPHTHERIA.
simple Remedy for Dreaded
Disease Accidentally DISCOVERIES,

The prevalence of diphtheria in all
portions of the country will naturally
excite interest In any remedy which
promises to prove specific for the dis
ease. Mr.. James Warren, saws the
Alton Ull.) Sentinel Democrat, pre-
sents us with copy OF cure which is
said 10 enjoy q wonderful success In
the east and which we reproduce. The
article is taken from the New England
Observer and we wish only TO add that
the wise thing to do whenever the
disease 10 suspected is to call q compe-
tent physician at once. The Observer
says: 1.-THE subject OF diptheria, its pre-.
vention and cure, 10 one that is OF great
interest just now here, when the dread
ed disease is so prevalent In certain
parts OF the city and county. DIR.
Allen, of Peterboro, believes that he
has found cure that will reach even
bad cases, and he has had an opportu-
nifty to test il, with excellent results in
every case. He stumbled upon il, as it
were, entirely by accident. He had
severe case of diptheria under his care,
the patient being young boy. The
doctor was using chlorides as disiu-
fectant and the boy took fancy to the
oder and asked 10 have some placed
near his nose. The doctor would hardly
have acceded to the request, but il
seems that the boys grandinor her satu-
rated handkerchief with the disin-
iectant aud put II on the child's face.
AT this time the membrane peculiar to
diptheria bad formed pcarly up to the
teeth, and DIR. Allen considered the
case hopeless one. That night after
the application of the chlorides holes
appeared 10 the membrane, and in the
morning the membrane had disappesr-
ed. The boy lived. DR.. Allen saws
that he has had several cases since then
that were bad, and he has not lost one.
He had used the remedy in these cases.
The directions which are given are:
Dilute the chlorides with ten parts wa

wet cloth over the face nearly ali the

Autumn Roses.

From the Home Journal
The robins morning song IL still;
Wild flowers arc dead by stream and hill:
The winds have now u boding sound,
And withered leaves best ew the ground.
All things betoken winter near,
And yet there strangely fingers here
Oh- sign, our eyes and hearts to bless.
Of summers vanished ioyeliness.
Within the garden bound we see,
On many favOrite bush and tree,
Roses-sweet roses, red and white,
10 the chill air. still blooming bright
Each morn. with ever new surprise,
We view them with admr,ng eyes;
And marvel mucn the fraR lie flowers
Should live thro' such unReniHl hours,
Hour after hour, day after day
We Gull them tenderly, and say
HOW sweet the lesson, and how true,
Dear blossoms, that we learn from YOU!
For thus TO keep such radiant grace
When gloom surrounds your dwellings plsc

who patiently life's storms endure

Who work to bless and speak to cheer,
And who. whate'er betide. fulfill
