Another Consmunpuoa Cure.

Dr.. Koch's treatment for the sure Of
cA1sumption is exciting the deepest in
ts1s 1t throughout the civilized world,
and ,is already being tried in the United
StatAs with hopeful results. It will
be remembered that Doctor Koch.
though = man Of known scientific eau
ton, il confident that, in its earlier
stage, the'disease can be cured by his
method.
Meanwhile, and for several years,
Doctor RousAel. OF Paris. has been OK
perimenting With another mode of
treatment. Doctor Koch seeks to kill
the microbes by destroying the material
thse feeds them. Doctor Roussel aims
to kill the microbes directly. Both EN-.

The eucalyptol is.carried everywhere

and is finally eliminated by The lungs.

lieved by DR.. Roussei to betfatal to the
microbe Of consumption. Nie oil nour-

Doctor Roussel regards the usual

night sweats-as natureas efforts to get
rid of the microbes, and. holds that the
remedy should not aim to check these
Symphonic, but to attack the microbes
themselves. At the same time he does
not lose sight OF the fact that attention
should be paid to general hygiene, ven
t~ilation, sunlight and sanitary clothing.
The more fully to test the efficacy of
his treatment. he made no changes in
the surroundip gs of his patients, or in
their mode ofIife.
His method rsquiressthe injections to
be continued several months, to make
sure that the eucalyptol pervades every
tissue of the body. One OF the earliest
patients treated was sent to him by the
eminent Doctor FauveL
The patients right lung was affected,
and the approximations contained num-
erous microbes Of consumption. In
one year the microbes had all disap-
peared, the mans weight had increased,
and he was able to return TO work. He
has continued well for six years.
Many physicians have examined the
case.
In 1883 Doctor Roussel brought
eighteen consumptives before the So
ciety of Practical Medicine. A year
later fifteen of the same persons were
brought before the society again for
re-examination. All appeared to be
cured or greatly impuoved. In thirty
| other cases Doctor Roussel had SINH
lar examinations made by eminent ex-
perts, with similar results. - YOUTHS

A MURDER CONFESSED.

A Man Calling Himself Jacob Brown Con-
fesses to the Murder for which One
Gray ~ Serving Life Sentence In the
Chester Qll.) Penitentiary.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Sept. Coon
science has finally forced Jacob Brown
to confess dire deed that he did eight
long years ago. Since 1888 Brown has
been fleeing from his crime, but it has
pursued him the length and breadth of
the continent At last, in Minneapolis,
he has confessed to Superintendent of
Police Henderson his crime. There is
one man whose heart will give bound
of Joy when he hears the confession.
He is Convict Gray, a ''lifer' in the
penitentiary at Chester, Ill Gray has
been thought the murderer instead of
Brown. He was convicted at
Salem, Ill. Browns confession
will set hiln free, both from prison and
from disgrace. Browns story was SO
strange tale that the chief at first set
him down as crank. The man was so
earnest, however, that the chief ordered
him locked up and sent telegram to
Centralia, ILL.,, where the murder was
done. This morning the answer came
from the sheriff: "Hold the man; letter
coming. Will send for him."
The story of the murder is a strange
one. Brown, vino was tramping, went
into ID box car to sleep. He stumbled
over a man in the dark and fight en-
sued. Brown hit his assailant death
blow with a coupling-pin and fed. Not
long after Gray, another tramp.
came along and went to sleep
in the same car, not knowing
that he had dead man for a compan-
ion. The next morning when he arose
he found that his arm had lain in pool
of blood. He tore off the bloody sleeve
and fled. That sleeve caused his ar
rest, conviction and sentence. He does
not even know who the real murderer
was. Brown claims to come from
well-to-do southern family, but will
not give his real name.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

AT Gadsden, Ala, on the 2Sth, five
white prisoners made a desperate at
tempt to escape by hanging the jailer.
They are gang of burglars, train rob-
bers and train wreckers. Just as they
were in the act of swinging him to a
cross beam, Policemen Roper appeared
and stuck his pistol through crack.
His orders to desist were obeyed and
the jailer's life was saved.
ABOUT SIC, 900, 900 is the sum the Navy

THE total number of immigrants ar
rived at the ports of the United States
from foreign countries, except the
Dominion of Canada and Mexico, dur
ing the month ending August 81, 1891,
was 45,172, against 1881 in August of
last year.

set, KY, attendant upon efforts to break

Gently lynched for the assassination of
Sheriff McCaigue.
The effect of the prolonged drouth in
Arkansas is being felt all over the State.
Reports from every section say late cot

entire crop will be gathered during the
month of October. The yield will not
average over 20 per cent.
