New Cure for Diphtheria.

The discoveries in medical science
are fast placing under control mala-
dies that have been considered incura-
bic, and HOW it j. announced that
that terrible scourgc, diphtheria, ac-
knowiedges obedience to mans man
date, through discovery made 10y DR..
Roux, French savant. This disease
is caused hv microbes, which plant
themselves in the membrane Of the
throat and multiply, but unlike the
bacellI OF other infectious diseases,
they remain absolutely in the same
position, neither penetrating the sys-
TEN nor the blood. These microbes
secrete a poison, called toxin, which
penetrates with wonderful rapidity
the circulation and affects the whole
body. As Jenner discovered the safe
guard from smallpox in the COW, so
Roux finds in the horse the medicine
10y which the fatality from diphtheria
and Group is reduced to the minimum.
Toxin in small quantities is introduced
into the system OF the horse, and by
repeating the operation with gradually
increasing doses, the organism of the
animal revolts and become. not only
impervious to the toxin but DESTROYS
it, and from this singular result is due
the origin of the new substance called
Serum therapy. The virus, toxin, is
injected into the shoulder of the horse
gradully increasing the dose, until the
desired results are produced, when
the animal is bled, and when the blood
is left to stand awhile, the serum, or
antitoxin can be drawn off. This is
applied by injection under the skin,
by means of syringe.
DIR. Roux has tested his remedy
extensively in hospitals for sick chill
dren in Paris, and has succeeded in re-.
ducing the fatality from SO to "a per
cent. The remedy likewise seems to
be beneficial in other respects. 1t is
cure for quinsy, renders the subject
impervious to farther attacks of Group
and diphtheria, and measles and scar
latina are OF rare occurrence when the
system has been fortified by the new
treatment. The percentage of cures
would have been largely augmented
but Tor enfeebled constitutions from
other affections.

has obtained replies to letters sent out
to the Congressman lately elected
which indicate that there is O marked
difference in the 6. o. p.'s stand on
the tariff question. Some of the mem.
bers admit that they have learned
something by the results that are be-
ginning to flow from the Wilson bill,
but the very general drift of senti-
ment favors modified restoration of

this has been arranged in conclave

reason, when his competitor uses the
final " fight-word" of liar, could not be
found than that of Prof. Beeler to
Commissioner Prather, in a late issue
of the Olympian. The provocation
was found in Prather's castigation OF
the Professor for using impertinent
language in his zeal to ensure pay
ment Of his own and the teachers

The smile was doubtless intended to

to themselves, made up their minds
to oppose increased taxation. The re-
tort of the Professor is unique. 1t is
unanswerable. 1t bristles with irony,
and the CLINT OF malevolence scintil-
lates from the eye which directs the
shaft straight to the mark. He
writes:
Cesar has partaken Of the Olympia hotel

There is not the slightest doubt but
that this retort was prompted by pre-
cisely the same motive as the " You're

be observed that the Professor speaks

that through extravaganza and mis-

the epitaph of many struggling

every endeavor to ward off the
evil day, if this heartless policy is not
at once abandoned.

A Landslide at Tacoma.

Wednesday night, about IL O'Clock,
. strip of land on the Tacoma water
front about 800 yards long and from
20 to 60 feet wide, slid into the bay.
The Glide extended from the Northern
Pacific sheds to Commercial wharf.
Forty.five feet OF the south end of the
Northern Pacific's Puget Sound ware
house, including the freight Office,
went down in the wreck. The engine
and pump used in sluicing the bluff,
were likewise overturned, and the fire
under the boiler set the building in
blaze as it floated on the water. This
threatened to extend and the fire de-
partment was ordered out. John
Hanson was in the pump house when
it went down, and as he has not since
been seen, it is feared he has been
killed. H. H. Alger and family, &C.
cupying a house midway between the
sheds and wharf, had terrible expert
ence. The house was turned complete
ly over. Mr.. Alger passed his wife and
four-year-old daughter out OF window,
and they remained on the outside of
the building till rescued. A son II
years of age crawled through hole to
the outside of the building. Emma, a
daughter, it is feared, is lost. The
house was q mere mass OF wreckage.
Various theories have been advanced |
to account for the terrible occurrence.
The principal belief is that the mass
OF earth was loosened by the late rains,
and suddenly slid into the bay, its fall
causing q commotion in the water,
which originated the second theory of
a tidal wave. Others think it was
caused by an earthquake, but il this
be true, it doubtless would have been
felt elsewhere. Several steamers were
damaged by the falling debris and the
steamer Orion WAS sunk. The loss to

A Fraud in the Ballot,

The Populists thinks that the Re-
publicans came "roots" upon them
by filing with the Secretary OF State
a Straight Peoples Ticket" which
when printed on the official ballot,
with the " Regular Peoples Ticket"
left the voter in doubt as to which EN-.
braced the nominees of the Peoples
Party. They claim that enough
votes were thereby diverted from their
true mission to change the result in
many cases on local candidates. The
Centralia Ners maintains that in
Lewis county, without this fraudulent
ticket, several of the Peoples Party
candidates would undoubtedly have
received pluralities.
If such result was possible the Of
fetal ballot was certainly not made
up in accordance with the intent Of
the law, and the question arises who
is responsible? Was it, as intimated, a
fraud perpetuated by the managers OF
a rival party, or carelessness or in
competency in those who had charge
of preparing the official ballot?
The natural sequence of such an
effort to pervert the will OF the people,
has led to innumerable contests, all
over the State, and the matter il now
being fought out in the courts.
1t is plain that the law should be
amended SO as to place all names Of
candidates filed by petition in a
separate column, apart from the
regular tickets, and designated as
independents. No ticket should APP
pear as regular" unless it is certi-
fed by authority of a regularly con.
stituted convention, or through the
officers designated hy such conven-
ton for filling vacancies. This would
prevent the misapprehension that has
existed, when the voter, after enter
ing the booth to prepare his ticket
has been confronted by two tickets
possessing an equal outward appear
ance OF being the ticket of his party.
