THE INFLUENZA BACILLUS
Three Doctors Have Identified II
and Have Its Pedigree at Their
FINGERS End

Authentic documents are now IN hand
which enables us TO form an estimate Of
the accuracy aud trustWOrthlnPsS OF
the alleged discovery of a bacillus as
the exciting cause of the influenza, says
the Daily Graphic. 1t has already been
surmised that the influenza poison re-
sides in minute bacillus, and there IS
now little doubt that this bacillus has
at last been discovered, identified. sep
arated and cultivated by three different
observers, all Of whom have been work
ing ependently of one another.
These psychologists are Dir. Pteiiler.
who hiss carried on his Investigate )ns at
the institute for infectious diseases at
Berlin: DR.. Kitasato and DR.. =. Canon,
of the Municipal Moablt hospital at
Berlin.
Their results are Identical, and al
though all new discoveries are received
by the scientific and medical world with
considerable reserve till they have been
abuudantly and independently con
firmed. it is earnestly hoped that the
discovery of the cause may lead 10 that
of the cure of the disease.
DR.. Pfeler has found the bacilll in
the saliva at the bronchial discharges
| characteristic of influenza. They exist
in the form of tiny rOdlets, strung to-
getheT, sometimes in chains; they con-
gregate in minute drops as clear as
pure water. They can be obtained in
pure cultures-tltat is. separated from
| all other forms Of bacilli-in pure agar
and sugar, or glycerine agar
In the saliva OF influenza patients the
bacilli are found in immense quantities.
They may penetrate from the pus cells
into the tissue OF the lung, and even
for ac no m
This fact will explain the rapidity and
fatality of lung complications in intiu-
enZa. DR.. KitasatO, the learned Japan
csc assistant of Prof. Koch, has OBJ
tanned Identical results with those OF
Or. Pfeiffer and has cultivated the in
fluenZa bacillGS in glycerine agar with
marked success. DR.. Canon comes for
ward. however, at the same time, with
a still more striking discovery, for he
has found the presence Of the influenza
bacillus in the blood of patients suffer
ing from the disease, and, according to
the opinion of Prof. Koch, the bacillus
discovered by Dr.. Pfeitfer in the saliva
is the same as that discovered by DR..
Canon in the blood Of influenza patients.
To the public these laboratory re-
searches and discoveries are not merely
matters of passing scientific interest.

lance. The power to cure disease may
not be youchSafed to the physician even
after the most earnest and arduous
study; but to prevent disease is the
crown of the medical art. The
knowledge that bacillus residing
in the saliva causes influenza Will
not cure the epidemic; but the
prompt and practical application of this
knowledge by complete dislnfection OF
all bronchial and nasal secretiOns and
the Isolation of influenza patients will
stay the plague. 1t also indicates the
reasonableness of what is known as the
earbolic acid treatment of influenza,
which has been preetieed with con
siderable success, especially III the early
stages.

DUST of William Asor. These two mar
bic tumbs are to the South of the keep
cr's cottage and within few yards from
1T mounds OF grass, in which bloom the
most beautiful blossoms known to
horticulture, are arranged about the
marble walls, and above them are
cedarS and evergreen pine trees. The
tombs are directly alongside of each
other, and they afford accommodate
tons for several generations Of AStorS.
Another handsome tomb is that of A.
Il. Stewart. built by his widow at Gar
den City, l.. |. it was planned by one
of the greatest architects in America,
and is repletc with beautiful sculpture
and elegant furnishings. Its cost was
something over $4,000. Only the
bodies of the great dry goods
prince and that of his Wife are
there. At least. so it is claimed,
but whether the remains of Stewart
were really recovered after they were
stolen, is still matter of some mystery.
However THAT may be, the merchant
and his wife left no issue, SO the secret
is locked within the marble walls of the
mausoleum for all time In the Wander
blt mausoleum at New Dorp are all the
dead NandCrbllts since the commodore

elaborate electrical arrangements in
them. Live wires are 50 laid that any
disturbance in the tomb will sound an
alarm. The main pnIpOse of this is to
prevent grave rObbing, Int it has an
other object. The possibility of being
buried alive is Il dread which haunts the
millionaire and pauper alike. 1t has long
been recognized by the medical profess
sion, and from time to time narrowing
stories of persons vino have come to life
again while on the way to the grave
have been told.
The mausoIeums now built have cleo
tric communication from the vaults in
which the body of the dead is placed to
the house of the keeper OF the
tomb. When a body is placed in
one of these vaults the electrical
apparatus is so fixed to the coffin in
which it reposes that should there be
the slightest tremOr of muscle, the
slightest move of any part of the body,
the electric bells in the keepers house
would be set to ringing. and they would
continue to ring until a visit was made
by the living to the resting place of the
supposed dead.

wealth." and so on, as if these passions,
and these only. were the real causes OF
the evils which they de plore. But TO
the thoughtful few another reason pre-
sents itself. which will. in the majority
of cases, account for those breache of
trust. and that is found in the INN edi-
ate bosom of mans family. says the
Baltimore American.
There are not many men who, for
the sake of gratifying their own selfish
desires, simply will run the risk OF
STATE prison and lifelong dishonor.
Man, taken by himself alone, is usually
inclined to be rather all honest sort of
animal-lf not by instinct, at least by
fear OF the possible consequences OF his
being otherwise. When he has 10 one
but himSelfto consider,his second sober
judgment shows him that in the long
run it pays him to be upright i'll his
dealings with his neighbors; and being
a very selfish creature, he does what it
is easiest for him to DO. 1t is only, then,
when some great appeal is made to his
nature, when his natural caution and
common sense are oyerruled by the
affections, that he is false to himself

except the second son, Cornelius Van
derbilt. who killed himself ten years
ago. and is buried at Hartford, Conn.
Several other wealthy New York fam
lilies have erected costly receptacles for
their dead, and the fashion for doing
this seems one that is growing.
The Pacific coast mllliOnaireS have
also had erected some handsome mauso-
leums The one that Senator Stanford
has put up in Palo Alto Park to the
memory of his only son is probably the
most beautiful OF these. 1t is of white

For the past months she has been ailing
In the past few weeks she sank rapidly.
She was of fragile constitution, patient dis

short life many friendships were made. These
now keenly feel her loss, yet we know il is her

religion. Her faith in God was implicit. Like
all young people she would gladly have lived
but if God willed she would thus gladly de.
part. No fear possessed her in the last days
worn and weary she longed for rest. On
Thursday morning instructions came to her
she must die that day. She told the family
and kissing them all, whispered amidst the
"good-byes" her trust in Jesus. Grief came
to the family but Abbie had gone home to
God. Saturday the funeral was held at the

$4,000 in Excess.

From the first day of the final ad-
jOurnment of the 51st Congress until
within the last few weeks the country
rang with Democratic denunciations
of the "wild extravaganza and reck-
less prodigality of the "Billion Dollar
Congress" Every Democrat and
Mugwump newspaper, big and little,
harped upon the subject day after
day and week after week, in season
and out of it, Democratic orators
dwelt in eloquent terms upon the bur-
dens that had been heaped upon the
people; it was made a leading issue
in every state and local campaign
last year, and the Democratic states
men wrote and published exhaustive
and laborious essay about it in the
reviews and magazines. The indict-
ment was sweeping, but it was barren
of specifications, except in regard to
the provision made for internal i'm
provements and one or two other
matters. Democrats everywhere and
as with one voice joyfully congratu-
lated the country on the fact that
the Democratic party had obtained
control of the ''purse strings of the
nation" and they pledged themselves
and the Democratic majority in the
House of Representative to an enor-
mus reduction of expenditures cut
$100,000,000 was the least that the
more conservative men among them
would agree to, while others demand
ed $25, 900, 700 to $50, 0,00Omore.
Economy and frugality'' were to
rule Congress, and the impending
bankruptcy of the national treasury
was to be averted if Democratic
craftsmanship could do it. Let us
see how the work of economy and
frugaIity" has been redeemed. The
total amount and appropriations
during the first session of the 51st
Congress amounted to $463 $685.
5000, as follows: Annual, $361,-
770,057.79; permanent, SOL ,62S.-
$50. This total will be swelled by
several hundred thousand dollars on
account of the miscellaneous items
carried by various bills other than
regular appropriation bills, but as it
now stands it shows the appropria-
of the session of the SD Congress,
including contract liabilities author
lied to be incurred, exceed those of
the 51st Congress by the sum of $780,

The New Ballot Law,
THE WAY TO VOTE UNDER IT TOLD IN A
NUTSHELL.

NUTSHELL.
In order that thepeople ofLamoille
county NAV see what the official bal
lot, to be used Sept. 6, is like, and be-
come familiar with it and its use be-
fore the day of election, we print the
ballot in full in this issue of the News
AND CITIZEN. As thus printed, it lacks
only the official Endorsement of the
clerk on the back.
The new system of voting is perfect
~ easy and simple for any man who
can read. Don't let anybody deceive
you into thinking that there is any
thing difficult about it.
There is just one rule to be observ-
ed, and it is this: Mark cross in the
little place made for it on the right
hand side, against the name of each
candidate you want to vote for.
That is all there is to it.
Don't make any other marks on
your ballot. If you don't want to
vote for a man let his name alone.
Don't scratch it out.
If YOU want to vote for a man
whose name is not on the ballot write
his name on the line printed for that
purpose, and then mark a cross
against it. 1t is the mark that makes
the vote.
Don't write your name on your
ballot.
Remember the one simple rule: To
vote for man mark a cross against
b name.
Every one who has tried the new
system is delighted with it's simplici-
~, its quietness and it's secrecy. You
will like it after you have tried it
once.
After you have marked a cross
against every name you want to vote
for, fold your ballot so as to show
the official Endorsement on the back
and then give it to the moderator.
1t is as plain and easy asyour a, b, C.

Another View of the Case.

a vote against Col. Fuller and in
favor of Brad Smalley is practically
an expression of confidence in Hiram
Atkins. A refusal to vote comes to
the same thing.
A falling off in the Republican vote
will be promptly seized upon by Mr..
Atkins as showing that this manage
ment of the Democratic party is
crowned with success and that his
methods are indicated by the popu-
lar vote.
If our Republicans wish to compli-
ment Mr. Atkins. to give him sub
stantial assistance, and to see Yer
mont turned over to his tender mer-
cies in case of Mr.. Cleveland's cleo
ton, they can easily carry the wish
into effect.
If they wish to rebuke Atkins and
Atkinism, let them turn out to the
polls and vote the Republican ticket.
