The antitoxin treatment for diph-
liberia has scored remarkable success
in Pittssburg. Out of total of 40 cases
treated with the Pittsburg culture, only
four have resulted fatally, while of 10
cases observed in the city during the
same time which were not treated with
antitoxin. II proved fatal. A death rate
of only ten per cent, compared with q
rate of nearly S9H per cent, in even
such limited number of cases is strong
evidence in favor of the antitoxin.
Guy Hecker. of this city, and one OF
the best known ball players of the coun-

was compelled to go to bed. On Friday
morning the abscess broke and dis
charged a quart or more of blood and
pus, and bis physician and members oi
his family fear he cannot recover, but his
naturally strong constitution and athletic
training may enable him to pull through

friends in this vicinity will read thf
above announcement with mingled sur.
prise and pleasure, and will join the RE

a long and happy future.
in private letter from Frank Hen.
derson, of East Hickory. who is now To-
Gated at Canon City, Colorado, he states
that he has been in the state long enough
to begin to appreciate and like it. HI

of ripe Strawberries, peaches, plums
pears, etc., which are large and luscious
The weather is very fine there now, anC

Creek silver mining region, and Franz

This item might have been longer
but we're mighty glad it isn't. One da.
last week while the men were at work ol
the new river road, two of them at leas
might have met their everlasting"
small fire had been built for the purpos
of drying some dynamite. Eight stick
of the stuff had been set up around tn
fire. Geo. Holeman and Charlie Ander
son were working within feH " feet OF il
On looking around they discovere,
that the paper wrappers on the ex
plosive had caught ON fire. Char
lie wanted TO eXtinguish the fire
} but George thought nit, and advise
Charlie to follow him. They had gottel
away about five or six rods when tn
} stuff went up, leaving a sorry lookin
hole in the ground where a moment be
f fore all was serene. Hence we say, thi
item might have been more extended
but we're very thankful that it isn't ne
f cessary to string it out.
