\ NEW MICROBE DISCOVERY.
Its Presence Said to Account for Pre-
mature Old Age.


The Kansas City Journal says: Dr.
A. Leonidas Johnson, whose new theory of
the circulation of the blood caused so
much discussion eight years ago. an
nounces another discovery that will be
quite as much of a surprise to the medical
profession and perhaps be of still greater
value TO the human family. DR.. Johnson,
whose home is in Leavenworth, was in the
city few days ago and gave 10 Kansas
City friends some phases of his new dis
cOvery. 1t is along the lines of the germ
theory, and the noted scientist claims TO
have found a microbe whose existence is
accountable for premature age and for
gray hair and bald heads.
DIR. johnson has not been practicing
physician for some years, spending most
of his time in making scientific expert
ments both at home and elsewhere, and
one subject has occupied much of his at
tention, the cause of premature age.
He continued his experiments and found
that the excess OF lime in the human body
after maturity (as lime is very essential in
the formation of bones in YOUTH was
largely due to the water taken into the sys-
TEN.
An analysis of few samples disclosed
the fact that water taken six miles out in
the lake at Chicago contained twenty-one
grains of lime to the gallon. That was the
least quantity in any sample analyzed. A
series of experiments on the RalstOn tneO-
ry that pure distilled water was the sol
vent necessary to eliminate these lime de-
posits from the system proved that theo-
ry erroneous. Then careful examination
of these deposits found in the joints, bones
and all the organs of the body resulted in
the discovery of a microbe peculiar to
these lime deposits, which he positively
claims is the microbe of old age, as well as
the microbe of gray hair and bald heads.
The doctor promises still greater results,
which he win give to the public in a short
time. 1t is a simple means whereby these
microbes and the lime deposits can be
eliminated from the system. His expert
ments so far lead him to say it can posi-
lively be done.
The doctor announces that when this
formula is ready for practical application
he will give it to the public for what it
may be worth, as he is DESTROYS to contri-
butte to scientific knowledge and not to
enrich himself by his discoveries.

How Big Are We 2

An article in a recent English
magazine upon '<The Measurement
of Man," has some very interesting
facts worthy of preservation. They
were collected by the British asso-
citation" The average Scotchman is
five feet eight and five-eighths inches
high; the average Irishman, five feet
seven and seven-eighths inches; the
average Englishman, five feet seven
and one-half inches; the average
Welshman, five feet six and FIVE
eighths inches. The British profess
sional class, according to the bulk of
the statistics, average five feet nine
inches, and are the tallest men in
the world, except some. OF the South
Sea islanders. About 10000 per-
sons were examined at the health
exhibition; the taIlest man was six
feet seven and one-half inches; the
tallest woman, five feet ten and
three-eighths inches; the heaviest
man was 20 stone Chow much in
poundsO; the heaviest woman Is
stone II pounds. Yet it was re-
markable how level were the dinen-
sions of the vast majority.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 13.-When the

to-day Temporary Chairman j. A. Har-
vey spoke for two hours. He said the
republican party in Iowa had bent
everything in favor of Senator Allison,
and enacted the mulct law in the inter-
est of his presidential candidacy; he
accused the party of disloyalty to the
people. and called the church people
voting for the republican nominees
'pious frauds" He blamed the repub-
lican party for the present financial
condition; said it's capitalists got the
United States supreme court to declare
the income tax unconstitutional; roast

convention went into district caucus to

candidates for congress. members of the

members of county conventions. The

ments were endorsed with cheers and

Upon two questions to be acted on in
the convention there is practically no
division of sentiment. Judge Vande-

tive canvass for the endorsement OF
Wyoming republicans for a place upon
the national committee, will be sup
ported without any contest and Me-
Kinley will be endorsed for the presi-
dency, probably by reclamation. Upon
the silver question, however. every
thing points towards contest, with
the forces somewhat evenly divided,
although the balance appears to lean
toward free silver. Sound money"
men are handicapped in their fight by
the pro-silver declaration of the state
republican platform of 1894 and also
by the active influence of the Wyoming

BLCDGETT. ATTORNEY.
Objection Is Made to His Appearance as
ounseI In the Police gourt

ounsei In the Police Court.
O. j. Blodgett. the lawyer who was
released from the county jail last Sat
urday after serving 2S2 days of a 4s5-
days sentence for blackmail, bobbed
up serenely in police court yesterday
afternoon as attorney for Mabel Ford
who is charged with arson. Blodgett
announced after his release from ial,
that he intended to engage In mining
but If that was his intention he has
changed his mind. Deputy County At
torney Mattison entered a vigorous
protest against Blodgett's appearance
in the case on the ground that he had
been disbarred. He quoted section 400
of the penal code, which provides that
any attorney may be removed OF sus-
pended by the supreme court or by the
district court upon his conviction of a
felony or misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude, in which case the record of
the conviction is conclusive evidence.
He also quoted section 428 which pro-
vides that on conviction under the
foregoing section the judgment of the
court must be that the name of the
party be stricken from the roll of at
torneys and counsellors of the court
and that he be precluded from practic-
ing as such attorney or counsellor in all
of the courts of the state. Mr. Matta-
son contended that under these sections
ticing in the police court
Blodgett stated that he had not vet
been disbarred by the supreme court
and that in any event he would still
possess the right to practice in the
lower courts. Judge Turner continued
the case and took the question under
advisement. IT appears that a certified
copy of the judgment in Blodgett's
case was sent to the supreme court
and that Blodgett was cited to appear
before the court within 10 days after
the expiration of his sentence at which
time the matter of his disbarment
would come up. The supreme court
viii now be made aware Of his release
and asked TO order his disbarmena at
once in accordance with the code
Blodgett stated yesterday afternoon
after court adjourned that he pro
posed to stay in Butte and practice
law
