ombrelo, which signifies little shade" and
refers 10 the original use as defense against
the sun, rather than TO its present use as
shelter against rain.
There seems 10 be no doubt that the umbrella
was first introduced into Italy from the East,
nd thence found its way into Europe. IL
seems also that the applicability Of the instrn-
ment as defense from rain was quite an after
thought, nd that lt was originally, as Ia the
East, only used to protect the person from the
raYs Of the sun.

completed this morning, and will be
sent to the governor ut once. Brad
ford, it will be remembered, was
awaiting transportation to the Ana

Scott county Jail. but broke out and
escaped to illinois. In order to make
his escape good he stole horse from
Thomas Corns, of Coal Valley, but
was stopped at Geneseo and brought
TO Rock Island and turned over to
the Iowa authorities, on account of
his being an escaped convict. His
term expires Feb. "a, and Sheriff

Entered.
THE TAX COLLECTIONS STOLEN.

The Once Door Forced by Main strength
A Chisei Used to Fry tho Drawer
Suspicious Character Seen.
The County treasurer's Office was
entered at noon today and all the
money in the tax collectors desk ta-
ken. the amount being $3.50. just
when the robbery happened, no one
knows, but how it 2 was done is as
plain as print. The person or per-
sons must certainly have been ia
miliar with the whereabouts.
When Deputy Collector 4. c.
Clarke left at noon he locked the
money drawer and Office door, and
when he returned at 1 p. m. he at
tempted to make entrance to the
corridor of the court house through
the south door, bnt it was locked.
He then proceeded to the south door,
and going to the Office door found it
had been forced, and going into the
office found the money drawer open
and the contents gone.
in the drawer was $3.50. part of
which was a check for $26.66, which
will be of no use to the robbers.
Well Planned.
1t was a well planned robbery, and
certainly must have interested more
than one man. From the fact that
the south door of the court house
was locked, it would appear that
there were not enough of
the fellows to watch both
doors. At 1880 Ferdinand Davis
of Aledo. was passing through the
court house square, and noticed a
man standing on the north porch.
The fellow eyed Mr.. Davis rather
keenly. but that gentleman paid no
attention to him, and passed on.
The individual on the porch in all
probability was on guard, while
some one else did the stealing.
The money was part of the collec-
tions of Township Collector Bauers-
field, and Mr.. Clarke acting as his
deputy. will, it is suppo sed, be held
responsible for the loss.

Tho Anti-Toxine Remedy.

The experiments which have been made
iberia with the anti-t0xine remedy have
thus far proved very satisfactory. 1t has
been demonstrated that the incubation of
dipththeria patients with the serum has a
tendency to arrest or expel the fatal poison.
Medical science has not accepted the new
remedy as specific, but the experiments
which are being made, both in this country
and in Europe, are of q most encouraging
nature, and indicate that the new curative
agent may eventually be recognized as essen
tiai TO the successful treatment of that
dreaded disease. The weekly mortality
from diphtheria in Paris has decreased from
6S to 49,, and in the last week in September
there were but two diphtheria cases in that
great city. In Berlin even moro marked
results have been achieved. The mortality,
which formerly ranged from 50. 3 to AT per
cent, has been reduced by the use of anti
toxine Tin 125 cases. to Ii per cent. In
France the death-rate has been lowered by
one professor from 81. II to 2i33 per cent.
In New York, the Resident Physician at
Willard Parker Hospital reports zone death
in Is, or mortality of G. per cent. in cases
selected for their severity" The so much
dreaded diphtheria false-membrane disap-
peaIed on the average on tho ninth day,
which is early in cases so severe. Of 4S6
children treated in both foreign and Amer
lean hospitals for true diphtheria by various
observers, with different strengths of anti
toxine solutions, 116 have died, or o NOR
tality of 23.S per cent. in 4 class of cases in
which about so per cent. always die.
