have attended a wedding reception
--yeuknowallabout that; how the bride
assured me beforehand that was to
meet only few friends of the family
"and so informal, you know" how the
rooms were full ofa surging throng, the
rooms as hot as in midsummer, the
toilets elaborate, the comfts sumptu-
GUS; how the husband strove to conceal
his newly-gained bliss. and the bride
smiled so sweetly l wondered never
before noticed how beautiful she was
Well, that is all; except that it was
something OF shock to think how
quickly the year goes by, and the time
OF receptions and dinners in town comes
tous again; and something of pleasure
to be again in the midst of the chatter
and push and the faint smell of per-
fumery and the play of the gaslight up
on silken fabrics and satin shoulders.
The young wife received, clad in
splendid robe of silver satin, rich enough
to do proper honor to her guests, simple
enough in its lines not to betray pur-
pose to outshine. The skirt was quite
plain-for though one may have drapery
and be modish, and ePen sport little
paniers without being held eccentric,
yet the plain skirt still is best-but the
bodice was brave with bands of pale
blue meeting in a long, low V, the bodice
front was decked with pale blue
embroidery upon the silver, and the
sleeves were mere ripples OF crimped
chiffon
In the throng was another blue and
white gown, with a wide, full skirt, a
bodice ofwhite chiffon with tabs of blue
velvet, and elbow sleeves. Another wns

MICROBES AND DISEASE.
Experiments with The Germs Of Strange

Experiments with the Genms OF o Strange
Roultry Malsdy.
A curious malady attacked the fowls
IN the poultSy yards OERome, Italy, last
autumn, and more fAan half of its VIC
Tins died. Scientific men were puzzled
by ies appearance. It seemed to be en-.
tireIy different from hen cholera oF
Duck cholera. Finally DIR. Salverio
Santori, an expert In bactertology, be-
gan an investigation OF the disease, and
Ms'report has recently been published.
He found that this malady, like many
others which affect man and the lower
animals, was Gttributable to q special
variety OF bacillus In the blood Of the
fowls. The newiy-discovered germ
could be cultivated, like that Of diph-
iberia or anthraz, but Its color "a bright
red) and It's foTm enabled him to dis
nnguish It from all other known NIL
crobes. He gave to the species the name
"Eritro batteTio." Rabbits, guine9
pigs, rats and hens were inoculated
with very small quantities of liquid
gelatine containing these germs, to pee
II the virulence of the latter could be
softaned. The undertaking was only
u fresh application Of method extern
sivcly tried by Hasteur, Koch and other
scientists. DR.. Santori was not able,
however, TO tame the Eritre batterio,
much less TO use It for defensive pur-
poses. He could not produce an anti
toxin, derived from the germ, which
would render q fowl dsease-proof.
Though the malady has never broken
out elsewhere, and though these tests
were unsuccessful, his researches are,
nevertheless, highly interesting, as
showing the trend Of modern scientific
thought in connection with disease.
One Of these days we may learn why
this and some similar ventures have
failed, and discover the secret Of curing

Citizens, attracted by the noise, had
pretty we'll surrounded the building BY

Watson says it is the truth he has or
dered his name off the ticket in Kansas,
but it is of the democratic ticket, and
not off the fusion ticket. He says there
is no fusion ticket in Kansas. There is
u democratic ticket and populist
ticket, and democrats have printed
over the national and Bryan and Sewall
electors the names of Bryan and Wat
son to deceive populists into voting
for electors who will in turn vote FOR
Bryan and Sewan.
IT am willing, "said Mr.. Watson. ito accept
any fair fusion in Kansas that will divide
the electors between the populists and
democrats: am willing even to agree to
an equal division, though by reason of the
popultsts voting strength In Kansas. the
proper portion would be about eight popu-
list electors to two democratic. contend
that the democrats have no right to print
my name over Bryan and Sewall electors

Half . Dozen Bandits Plumber tho Village
Of Carney, o. T.
Guthrie, 0. T., Oct. 10. - Saturday
night at ten o'clock the town OF Carney
so miles west of here, was attacked ~
bandits, all heavily armed, masked and
we'll mounted. The robbers entered
with q flourish of arms and oaths ana
at once attacked the store OF J.. u.
Fouts. the largest merchant in the city.
Before entering the town the bandits
cut the telephone wires between Carney
and Chandler in order to prevent inter-
ference with their evidently pre-
arranged plans. Carney is q town OF
500 people and contains general mer-
chandise store, hotel, post Office, black
smith shop, stables and dwelling
houses. Only Fouts and his son were
in the store when the robbers rushed
in and threw their guns on them. The
chief Of the outlaws commanded foats
to open his safe. He quickly complied
and handed over $500 in cash to the
bandits. Two of the robbers then bound
and gagged Fouts and his son and car
ried them two miles out of town. Mean
while the other robbers attacked tho
hotel and post Office, but got nothing in
the latter place. In the hotel three
drummers and two citizens were re-
lieved in all of $500 in money, watches
and jewelry. At the United States mar
shal's office the opinion prevails that
the gang is headed by "Dynamite Dick"
pal of the late Dalton and Doo1in.
