MY DEAR COLONEL am very great

own.

people were cognizant Of the facts and
understood the Kind Of campaign that
mast necessarily tollov, should have
no fears Of serious mistakes being made
by the convention; but do not think
that the masses OF the people have much

least Of the governor ! have also been
told Of circumstances which tended
very strongly to indicate that this con-

| cannot by letter undertake to put to-
gether the various things that have
learned, Without going out Of my way at
all to do so, nor do wish at present to
show my authorities. In fact, | very
much prefer not TO place myself in the
attitude Of an accuser OF anybody, and
whal wish TO suggest to you, and wish
all the people could know, is that very
serious charges are now made, and that
during the campaign we shall urques-
tionably have them to face. 1t Is an
open secret that the prohibitory law has
mol been enforced In the larger cities.

MATTERS ADJUSTED.

Midland Again.

The trouble between the city
and the Home Construction Com
pany in regard to back taxes due
the city was adjusted Tuesday
and the attached rolling stock
was returned to the manage ment
Of the Kentucky Midland Railway
at moon on that day. The regular
train service OF the road was re-
sumed Tuesday afternoon and the
people of this city and along the
road relieved Of the great incon-
venience caused by thu tie up.
Everything is now running
smoothly and it is hoped there
will be no further trouble as the
Midland is essentially a Frankfort
institution, one in which every
citizen is interested and should
wish to see prosper.
The road is now receiving and
Transporting freight of all kinds

train Tuesday carried 800 passen-

OF two cases where it has been

the clutches were discarded in two

you will find that we are correct.

CURES FOR DIPHTHERIA.
Simple Remedies for a Dreadful
Disease.

A lady, who has lost several
children with diphtheria, sends US
the following remedies for that
dreadful disease, which she has
clipped from different papers,
in hopes that they may benefit

its appearance
A SIMPLE CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.
A communication was read at late
meeting of the French Academy of
Medicine, which averred that a COM
plete remedy for the disease known
as diphtheria had been found. The
disease, as the reader is perhaps
aware, is characterized by a false
membrane which traverses the res
piratory passages, the trachea, and
even the bronchial tubes. 1t is said
that this membrane melts in the
presence of the vapor of tar and
spirits Of turpentine, and that if
mixture of these substances is kim
died near the bed of the patient the
false membrane is detached and may
be spit out. At the same time the
throat may be washed with coal tar
and lime water. The preparation is
disintectant as well as remedy.
PINEAPPLE JUICE FOR DIPHTHERIA.
Medical science has long sought for
a sovereign remedy for the scourge
Of childhood, diphtheria, yet the
colored people of Louisiana, and per-
haps Of other localities in the South,
have for years known and used a
cure which is remarkable for it's SIM
plicity. 1t is nothing more or less
than the juice of the pineapple.

gentleman when interviewed, "it has

swamps down South for years. One

frightened her up so to have girl as a
guest. I replied that had not before
looked upon my visit with her as purely
philanthropic, but that it pleased me to
think of it in that light. He didn't
seem to enjoy my sally and replied
stiffiy that he very much regretted that
he would be away during the whole of
myvisit. | couldn't think Of anything
politely disagreeable to answer, so |
smiled in an absent minded way and

he's very awkward and tiresome and
he's probably pedantic. And I've pro-
missed to let Harvey Leroyd write to

A cross is part of the household

decree Of Providence that it shall be so.
1t would be very strange if you could
find an exception to the rule,
There are many sweets in life, bu t
there was never yet heart that had
no bitterness. There are pages in
every book which are never read ex-
cept by ourselves and One Other. The
rest of the volumn is open to our
friends and to the world. God and we
have many secrets which are not con-
fined to third party. He underst ands
as no one else can. That is peculiar
ity of our human life.
And fortunate it is that the veil
which covers our hearts cannot be
lifted. If we could see all that our
neighbors suffer, and they could see
what we suffer. the revelation would
be very painful and life W ould have an
aided agony. We are graciously per-
mi. ted, therefore to have a place of
concealment where we keep our special
disappointments and our private griefs
the key to which is never lost or mis-
laid.
