While everybody knows and respects
Bob Ingersoll as one OF the brightest
men in the country and one whose do
mestic and public life as man are truly
worthy of emulation, many people have
thought Roberts religious belief just Il
little 'oif color" but the editor OF the
Sentinel has discovered cause for
believing him "a good christian" and
gives the following reasons therefor:
Bob lngersoll is now converted man.
A number OF years ago Bob said in one
OF his iniidel lectures that he would
believe in God and immortality when
Kentucky became a Republican state.
Wednesday Republican legislature
elected DIR. William J.. Deboe, a stall
wart Republican, as United States Sena-
Tor; Kentucky's governor is Repub-
lican; the legislature is Republican,
and a goodly number OF Kentucky's
congressman are Republican. "God
moves in a mysterious way, his wonders
to PERFORM" and unless Bob goes back
on his word Ingersoll is now good
christian.

SECOND STREET IMPROVEMENT

Touching the grading of Second
street, allow me few words.
| notice that the improvement in
wolves the drainage of the street. This
involves the drawing off of the water
only. Sewerage involves the carrying
off OF both water and filth, and conse-
quently needs water works to supply
the water necessary for flushing the
pipes every day. 1t is a mistake to
suppose that drain pipes can be used to
carry away the sewerage of the house.
And, in fact, it is a mistake to put in
sewerage pipes to do this work if there
is no water TO flush them, for both
pipes will become foul and then the
rotting mass within will send back
gasses into the house producing
typhoid fever. Even palace is not
exempt from this law, as the English
people discovered when the Prince Of
Wales nearly died from typhoid feyer
produced, as it was discovered, by the
gasses from the drain pipes OF his pal =
ace. The filth that is out of sight is
not therefore innoXous. A back door
drain pipe does not send its gases
down but up, and they are pretty sure
to find their way into the kitchen and
the parlor, and cause sickness. A hog
pen in back yard Is not only an un-
slightly, but an unhealthy object, and
has caused many death.
Open catch basins are simply basins
for holding filth till it rots and fur
nishes gasses for the poisoning OF all
who come near the holes. Those who
cleanse them usually do it in the night
on account of the nature of the job to
I be done. They add nothing to the
facility for drainage purposes in place
| like ours, where the streets are un-
paved and the water can pass unob-
structed into the soil. AS they are
Objectionable on sanitary grounds and
are unsightlv and therefore objection
able on esthetic grounds, do not favor
the plan which contemplates putting
them In as part of the system of sewer
age. On my farm find no difficulty in
getting the water into the pipes with
out an open ditch and without a catch
basin. In fact, when the electric road
was built took the precaution to build
a dam across the bitches at the South
end in order to compel the water to
find its way into the outlet by means Of
the tile and not by the surface, and the
result has been dry surface, no ditch
and no guttering. The same thing can
easily be done Tor Second street and
every lot be made dry and every cross
ing by culyert, dispensed with, and
Third street beautitied and cleansed
without the making of a single catch
basin.
/ would be very glad to see the drain
age improvement go forward and when
this is done there will be time enough
in my opinion, to talk OF putting on the
gravel. II the town has any stone tt
use it would not be bad idea to put Il
ON Front street, which needs 1t badly

yond before another year goes by. Elab-

the heeXpectation that the coming encamp-

that as the numbers of the veterans
grow smaller the annual encampments
will be more generally attended and

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Wonderful Results from fIot Air Expert
ments RhiIa q elphia.


Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned from a new method of treating
rheumatic affections which has just
been tried in this city before the coun-
ty medical society.
The method consists in the local APP
plicaton of hot air to the parts affected.
The apparatus by which this is accom-
pIished consists of a copper cylinder,
under which several gas jets are kept
burning. Into this cylinder the limb
is inserted and the ends are closed.
Stop-cocls art arranged to let out
moisture eNuding from the skin, and
the temperature is raised to $50 to 200
degrees. Precautions are taken to pre-
vent the limb from coming in contact
with the hot metal, and the application
is continued for fully 40 minutes.
Two patients were brought in for the
experiment. One was man who had
been under the care of a physician, who
was present, for several months, and
had been gradually growing worse.
He was unable to move his toes or his
ankle, and any motion of the limb
caused eNcruciating pain. At the end
of 30 minutes, during which time his
temperature was raised nearly two de
grees, as shown 10y the mouth Their
momcter, and his pulse increased about
- beats per minute, the limb was taken
out Of the cylinder; the patient moved
his toes as freely as does a child, bent
his ankle without difficulty and walked
with ease, feeling no pain. Other
rheumatic pains in other portions of
the body had also disappeared.
The second patient was negro who
was suffering from Il lOn%-continued
lumbagO, and who uttered many groans
as he was being placed on an appara tus
which inclosed his back. He was also
subjected to the heat for 40 minutes,
ard when told TO rise he sat up as read
lily as when in perfect health. The
temperature in the first case was from
248 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the discussion which followed i;
was stated by the exhibitor that these
men would probably be better in the
morning than they appeared 10 be when
the experiment closed, and that in most
eases enc application is sufficient.
Whore extensive deposits had been
made several applications were ncces-
sary to remove them. The system has
been in use in the principal hospitals
of London with wonderful success.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor thai
this method dissolved and carried
off the deposits upon the bones and in
the muscles, and that this effect cA-
tended in 4 greater or less degree to
the whole body. The apparatus used is
now for the first time brought to the
notice of the medical fraternity of this
country Philadelphia Press.
