nary Department of the University of

OF successful experiments that leave nc
doubt in the minds Of gentlemen OF broad
experience, that he has discovered
the bacillus of that always fatal and
much dreaded disease known as lockjaw
or tetanus. The Investigations OF DR.,
Landes date back TO 1889, and were first
brought about by the fact that I'm 1888 the
Fourth OF July toy pistol did so much 10
eau fatalities among the junior popula-
tion of Philadelphia. 1t was during this
period lockjaw prevailed TO such an extent
as to almost amount To an epidemic
and there was no case cured, DIR.
Zuill, one of the surgeons in chief OF
the veterinary school. said to a reporter:
II have no doubt that Dr. Landes has
found the bacillus that causes lockjaw, and
i think his experiments with which l am
perfectly familiar, prove beyond doubt
that it is the same germ that has been
found by DR.. Parke, of Buffalo. \. Y, ano

Decision on the Subject.

In the celebrated original package case
OF The State OF South Dakota VS.. George Ii.
Chapman and William Roller, on a writ of
error, the Supreme Court has rendered n

formed against in the County Court OF

mon nuisance by selling Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage and willfulIy and
unlawfully permitting persons To resort to
rooms and buildings where such liquors
were sold. A jury was impaneed, IA trial
had, and verdict OF guilty rendered
against the defendants, and each was
sentenced to pay fine OF $3.50 and
10 be imprisoned for sixty days.
The court further holds that when bottles
of whisky or beer. each sealed up In paper
wrapper and closed and placed together in
uncovered wooden boxes furnished by the
importer, aud these wooden boxes are
marked TO the address OF the agent and
shipped from one State To another, the
wooden boxes and not the bottles constitute

bat there il perceptibly less confidence.
The causes appear TO be: First, prospect
of important monetary legislation the eff

second. frequent failures and greater diff
ficulties I'm making collections; and, third,
less satisfactory conditions in some
large branches of industry Probably
more people are affected as To bust

money is easier at Boston and Philadelphia.
there is still stringency at most points
throughout the country. Complaints OF
slow collections have rarely been more gem
eral and i'm many cases settlements can be
made only with notes or renewals. But In
all quarters there Is hope that after Jan. 1
things may improve in this respect. IL legis-
lative prospects do not meanwhile
cause greater shrinllage OF credits aud
curtailment OF purchases. At Chicago re-
ceipts OF wheat and wool are "A third below
last years, OF hides larger, and OF other
products about the same. Sales OF mer-
chandise exceed last years, money Is firm

Kansas as there Is to-day. AS TO old corn,
that seems now to have been well cleaned
up. So far aSany free movement OF corn
from Nebraska or Iowa this winter Is con-
cerned, the prospects now are very poor.
Feeders have taken all the offerings from
farmers In Nebraska at prices from three To
five cents, and In some cases as high as seven
cents. above shipping basis. Reports
from Southern Iowa show that there Is no
new corn TO crib, very large homo demand
from feeders and the surplus available Dor
