particular, the. Montgomery Journal OF

the 10th instant says:
Joe Johnston went down to the WIRE
grass section yesterday. His first speech
was at Ozark. The people turned out en-
masse to greet him and do him honor.
The largest crowd that has been In ozark
in years gathered there, and such enthu-
siasm and remarkable demonstrations
have not been witnessed in that section
since the days of Yancey and Hllilard
and Watts and the giants in intellect or
other days, when feeling between the
wings and democrats ran high. Inc
people gathered at the depot to welcome
him, and the crowd, half mile in length,
followed him to the court house, which
could not near hold those that had gath
cred to hear him. But they cheered him
just the same, and the cheers from WITHIN
met with a hearty echo from without.
A Montgomerian who was present says
that 1t was the grandest ovation he ever
saw. and the Clarke men admitted, after
the speech and demons tra tion were over,
that there was no use in Clarke making
any fight in Dale. Another Clarke man.
who is leading the Clarke forces In
Dale, attributed the prominence of John-

by the Montgomery postoffice, as did Mr..
Clarke at Chicago of Mr.. Cleveland, and

It's a Bad Law.

Judge Blake, of Helena. has decided
that the law is valid which provides
that a city proposing municipal own
ership OF its water supply must first
purchase the plant of a company in the
field or acquire the plant by condem-
nation proceedings.
1t is for the courts To pass on tho
constitutionality of this law; it will
stand or fall by their decree. But the
people of the state have their opinion
of the law on its merits. Enough has
happened since the law was passed, in
the legislature of 1895. to make it clear
that it is an extremely unpopular
measure. 1t ought never to have been
passed: we believe that public opinion
will demand its repeal-the wonder is
that the scheme ever found favor with
the law-making power.
Those who worked the lobby for the
passage of this measure had a per-
sonal money interest. Several repre-
sentatives of the Helena Water COM
pany were the laws earnest advocates
they wanted legislation to help them
TO unload their property. 1t transpired
that water company people in Great
Falls were also concerned. The result
of il all is that the water business at
Helena has involved that city's local
government in an unsavory scandal;
no intelligent man in the Northwest
believes that the Helena Water com
pany's plant is worth within tens

Falls in months OF ilI-naturcd cont"u-
ton: in fact, the plans to provide that
city with a supply of water i'm munich
pal ownership were brought to a halt
because Of this most unri"htcous law.

doubtedly an effort for repeal viii be
pushed in the next legislature; il will

Not very long ago magazine litera-

came nauseating 1t is pleasant to no

The third discovery is the announce
ment by the Medical Record. the most
conservative medical periodical in the
United States, of the complete and
marvellous success Of remedy for con-
sumption perfected by DR.. Cyrus Ed
son of New York, and tested by a score
of the best known physicians in the
metropolis. SO far there have been
only four failures in more than two
hundred cases treated. Or. Edison has
long been cultivating and studying the
germs of consumption. 1t has been
known that these germs when arti-
ficially cultivated were killed by a
mixture of one part phenol or carbolic
acid to three thousand parts Of water;
but experiments in the way of treating
consumptives with carbolic acid were
often attended with dangerous results,
and had TO be abandoned. After long
and tedious experiments Dr. Edison
produced a fluid which he called asep-
tolin. 1t contains 2.75 per cent of car
bolic acid and to every ounce of it is
added one hundredth OF a grain of salt
called lar-phenyl-hydroxid The
aseptoln is injected under the skin anc
thus directed into the blood. The dose
is one hundred minims or drops in
jected with a hypodermic syringe once
in twenty-four hours. The circulation
of the blood applies this carbolic solu-
ton to every part of the body many
times an hour.
Hundreds of able physicians, both in
this country and Europe, are toiling
day and night upon experiments with
disease germs. and it seems not un-
reasonable to expect that within a few
years anti-toxine will be ready for all
the ills that flesh is heir TO. What
magnificent strides science is making
I'm these the closing years of the CEN
fury, And i'm all likelihood the next
hundred years viii witness scientific
achievements more astonishing than
any yet recorded.
