PETROLEUM FOR OIphTHeRiA.

The Patient Experiences Relief From the
First Application.
In the village Of Neuyille Champ
d'Oisel, about nine miles from Rouen.
. malignant type of diphtheria broke
out. The country doctor, NJ. Fred
eric Flahaut, treated the cases in the
usual way. but the deaths were nu.
merous. Remembering, as he says.
that the English use petroleum as an
antispasmodic and an antiseptic, he
determined to try it as an experi.
ment
His first trial was in tiVe caee of q
little girl 7 years old. He lad al
ready given her up and proposed to
the parents to make the experiment,
which consisted in swabbing the
throat with common petroleum, He
had little hope Of the success of his
new method, but to his astonish.
ment he noticed an Improvement
after the first application. He con.
tinued the treatment, and the child
recovered Then no t,ied it success
fully with his other patients.
This year he had 40 cases Of diph
liberia to treat, and he was success
full in every one. In order to be per.
fectly sure that the cases In question
were ones of malignant diphtheria,
he had the expectorated matter sub
mitted to the analysis Of Professor
Francois Hue of the Rouen College
of Medicine, and the professor re-
ported that he had clearly discovered
the presence In it Of numerous bacil-
Ii of diphtheria. Moreover, his dag
nosis was confirmed by Drs. Les
hayes, Lerefrit and Bailey Of Rouen,
the last named being the physician
in chief in TINT city.
The treatment presents little diff
Guilty or danger. The swabbing is
done every hour or every two hours,
according to the thickness Of the
membranes, which become, as it
were, diluted under the action of the
petroleum. The brush, after being
dipped into the petroleum, should be
shaken to prevent any drops falling
into the respiratory channels. The
patients experience relief from the
very first application. The disagree
able taste of the petroleum remains
for a few moments only.-Norman.

Osborn Resorts to SANDER.

The attitude OF the Times, when
taken in connection with the re.
ports which Dave Osburn's friends
are circulating about George w.
Smith. leave a little doubt, that, as
last resort, it has been decided
to elect Dave by the most unfair
means a candidate can employ
that of slandering his opponent.
Osburn deserves defeat for the
manner in which he is conducting
his campaign, if for no other
reason.
Circumstances, purely acci-
dental, placed him in Office tive
years ago; those circumstances do
not exist and cannot avail him at
this time. Therefore, lie has
abandoned the humble attitude,
which characterized his campaign
two years ago, and employed such
tools to conduct his canvass, as
would disgrace Digger Indian.
The suit at law, recently institu-
ted against George Smith, seems
to have been instigated solely to
iniure his chances in the election.
Let no republican be deceived
by this and other underhanded
means being used against Smith
He is much the better man for the
Mace and is making a straight
forward manly fight for it, he has
refrained from publishing state
ments of facts about Osburn
which are known to be true anc
which are much more damaging
| in their nature than those in cir
culation about Smith
| Give Smith the majority he de
serves and put a stop to cam
paigns in which SANDER predom-
iuates.

Regarding Geo:~M Brown.

The scurrilous attacks made
against George NJ. Brown, the
republican candidate for prose-
cutting attorney were begun at
the convention by w. H. Cottle,
of the State insurance company.
It is claimed that this was done
at the instance of the company
to get even on Mr.. Brown for
prosecuting very vigorously some
claims against them, and conf
pelling that concern to pay its
honest losses. We have the as
surance of the business men of
Roseburg that Mr.. Brown is a
man of the highest honor and in
tegrity, and that the charges
made against him are wholly
false. The people of that county
have asked for his: nomination
they guarantee his fitness for the
place and we have no reason to
doubt their sincerity. Mr..
Brown is all right and will Sc
cure the full support of his party
in this county. The following
is Judge Fullerton's opinion
"George M. Brown, the republi'
can nominee for district attorney,
has resided in Douglas county all
his life. He read law in my Of
fee. He was admitted to prac.
tice law in 1891, and at once Sc
| cured a fair share of the business
of this county and his practice
has steadily increased, until at
| this time he has about as 1nucl
business as any attorney In the
district, and with one exception,
| the largest business in the county
He has the reputation of al
honorable man and good law

Neglecting His Duty.

Having heard that Mr.. Bryan denied
the charge Of neglecting his official du-
ties, the GAZETTE man called at the
court house yesterday morning and with
the assistance of Deputy Clerk Wilson.
carefully overhauled the records and Of
fetal reports Of the county court, but
failed to find any trace of Bryan's an
nual financial report which the statute
plainly says the county superintendent
shall file the goth day of June each year.
1t was discovered, however. that he
had by no means neglected to file his
quarterly bill for salary and fees. Fol-
the year ending June goth, 1898, he drew
from the county exehequer $937.7o, and
for the fiscal year has already received
s713.7o. In July he will draw from $I5e
to $3oo more Thus it is seen that thi:
official receives nearly $1,000 annually
yet it is claimed that at least dozen
schools in the county have not beer
visited by him during the past year. Dc
the taxpayers wish to continue mar
longer in Office and pay him thousand
dollars year when he utterly fails tt
perform the duties incumbent upon him

THE GAZETTE is in receipt of

THE GAZETTE is in receipt of
a letter from Mr.. F. A. White,
of Philomath, denouncing Ed.
BRYAN as man unfit to be school
superintendent. He also sends Il
copy of libel which he says was
written by Mr.. Bryan, and which
he tried to get Whites wife to
sign in order to clear his name
from some stain upon it. Mr..
White evidently believes that his
family has been wronged by
Bryan and says most men in his
place would have gone for Bryan
with shot gun instead of ex-
posing him to the public: We
do not know what there is in Mr..
Whites complaint, but as he re-
quested that his letter be pub
lished, we make this reference to
it because if we declined to MEL.
ton such a matter when it IS
sent over the signature of a
reputable citizen who is willing.
to stand the blame and take the
consequences, we might be
thought to be in sympathy with
conduct such as Mr.. Bryan is ac-
cused of.

Our County Superintendent.

The time is now at hand when
conscientious, intelligent voters
should be giving the object of
their votes due consideration.
AS intelligent men interested
alone in the welfare of your
homes and county, I appeal
to you. What kind Of men do
you want in office? You will all
agree with me when I say one of
the most important Offices on the
ticket is that of, school superin-
tendent. The time has come
when Our children must have
better educations and a deeper
knowledge of learning than ever
before, to cope with the business
world and stand in the social
circles of our present advanced
age. To give our children the
advantages they should have, we
must necessarily have the proper
power behind the throne. At
the head of our schools we must
have man that is refined; that
has a good moral character; one
that when our girls or our child
ren's names are associated with
his, it will be an honor to them,
not a degradation. Furthermore,
he must be interested in his
school work. Law is all right i'll
its place, but its place is in a
law office, not mixed up in our
public schools. Fast horses are
a treat to the eyes of those who
admire the beautiful, but they
have a place on the race track
and no school money should
back them. Such things are en-
tirely foreign to the interests of
our children and should not be
tolerated by an intelligent pub
lie. A superintendent who is i'll
terested in his work and the ris-
ing generation, will visit his
schools, look to the moral char
acter of the teachers and properly
| perform the duties for which he
| is paid. He will not express his
adherence for teaching-neither
will he state he would as soon
| starve as to follow it for a voca-
| ton. Not far back in the his
tory of the Benton county schools,
we can find a superintendent who
was interested in the welfare of
I the pupils, providing they were
girls and had reached the age of
IS summers. But under such
rule and discipline our poor boys
and our little girls who are un-
= fortunate enough to rank beneath
the age which inspires interest.
must forgo the hallowed influence
and tender syrnpathies of a
school superintendent. Fathers,
you have daughters who are
teaching-girls who need your
| pIOC0CC1OIl III llllS AoilS-loo
friendly world. Are you doing
your duty as fathers-as voters?
Do you put the right man in Of
! fee over your girls? Do you
| want a man who will be all
. honor to your homes, your
2 county, your schools? Such l
am proud to tell you comes from
s the little town of Philomath in
: the person of R. F. Holm. In
), vestigate for yourselves. He is
! a man Of good moral character
and is fully qualified in every way
to fill the position and is and has
been for years interested il
school work as a teacher. l tIus
the intelligent class of people
who read this will ponder it ser
iously. And may the time sool
come when our leading men IL
d office will be men of rehnemen
j and high honor; then we will b.
,s !e proud for our children to cop,
\. their examples. L. DEE.

new feature of the present canvass
is several ladies who are working in.
dustriously against Ed. Bryan. 1t is to
be regretted that nomination has been
made to which the ladies SO seriously
object, especially as many young ladies
acting as school teachers are necessarily
brought into contact with the school su.
perintepdent. Mr.. Bryan may be limo
cent of the charges brought against him
but it is unfortunate that it is possible
that any one may be elected to that i'm
portant Office whose reputation may in
jure that of young ladies with whom he
must officially communicate.
