eases TO which flesh is heir, fare past, but in
many localities methods almost as crude as
'.bleeGing" and the "quinine treatment" are
still practiced. II is fact that many of the
newly discovered remedies are totally I'M
known in many sections ofthe country, while
the public are in possession OF the latest in
ventions in mechanics and agriculture and
have discarded the old cumbersome machin-
cry of their ancestors. The practice of medi-
cine is in many localities, behind the age In
which we live. The fact is, that scientific
medicine has advanced perhaps more rapidly
than anv of the arts, and to-day IL is possible
to cure diseases which few years ago were
looked upon as incurable. Indeed scientific
medicine and surgery have lifted the blight
off the word incurable from most OF the dis
eases which afiiict mankind.

HENRY GB0RGE,s DEATH.

Carried away by ambition and hope Henry George rashly said the other day: "The voice of God has spoken and shall be elected" Yesterday morning he was suddenly and start lingly taken out of the fiery campaign he was waging, and his ambition, his hope and his prophecy have come to naught. Verify "a mans life's is no more than to say One"
 This amazing accident, or incident, will have @ sobering and modifying ef- feet upon a contest that had become extremely vociferous and bitter In the presence of death fewer harsh words will be spoken and there will be less wildness of thought and of action. The nomination of MT. Georges son in his fathers place was a curious move, and it is impossible to tell where the George vote will now go. His son will get some of it on account of his father and on account of regularity" Low will get some of it,-and perhaps much of it. But the situation is more mixed than ever, and it will be wise to call all the previous predictions off and wait for the counting of the votes.

eggs was forty-five days; but it has been shown now that it extends in some cases to seventy days, so that the per- iod may vary, according to the time in the year, from fifteen days to seventy. Gran, the province adjoining Morocco, was the only one invaded. The area over which the eggs were laid is esti- mated at 424, 800 acres, and 270, ,120 bush els of young locusts were destroyed. These are below the real figures, for in many fresh grounds no estimate was made of the area covered. The bar riers, or lines of defence, made by the Cyprus apparatus, or of zinc, extended over 322 miles, while 27,113 ditches were dug at the foot of these 70 catch the young locusts.

EASY MONEY HARD TO GET HID OF.

EASY MONEY HARD TO GET HID or
 The stories which come from Kansas this year are fully as astonishing as those which came from there last year. but they are very different. Last year the tales were of woe. This year they are of prosperity. One of the latest is that a farmer recently entered the bank at El Dorado and drew pistol on the cashier to compel him to accept $1 500 and hand over the mortgage on his land. We are told that the movement to pay off mortgages amounts to a mania, and the farmers are, it appears, finding difficulty in getting their money taken by the mortgage men. Several of the mortgage companies, not wishing to abandon their business, or a consid- erable part of it, are demanding afIida- of mortgage accrued from crops actu- ally raised on the land encumbered be-
 
 grant a release. It appears that these companies originally inserted in the body of their mortgage forms clause providing that money paid on the mort gage should come from the land, and this was done to prevent one company from cutting into the business of an- other by giving a farmer sufficient sum to refund his debt at the lower ir1- terest rate held out to him. This clause is now being used for an entire Iy different purpose, to check the liqui- dation craze, and while it may not be strictly legal, affidavits are constantly being made by farmers to conform to the provision.
 These are pleasant tales for eastern readers, many of whom are hoping that the Liquidation mania will reach their investments in Kansas.

WiLL NOT BE nMANCrpArED.

For years there was loud and earnest labor for the emancipation of Woman in Ohio. Finally after hard climac- teric fight in the winter of 1895 she was emancipated so that she could vote on local matters. But when she had been emancipated it appeared that she didn't care as much for freedom as those who were working to enancipate her said she did. In Cleveland, for in- stance, in the spring of 1895 5,S31 wo- men registered and 4,945 voted. In the spring of 1896 2,72S women registered and 1882 voted Tn the spring of 1897 4o8 registered and 22S voted At the registration just closed only S2 women have registered. This winter the legis- lature will be asked to abrogate the emancipation law. In order to record the votes of these eighty-two women, Who may or may not vote on election day, a separate set of books must be kept at each polling place and separate ballots must be provided. This means an extra expense of $15,000 Even the most radical woman suffragists admit that the game is not worth the candle, and it is thought that there will be no serious opposition to the repeal of the law.
 If Woman does not want to be free nothing can make her so, and it will be wiser to let her stay in the bondage she seems to like.
