SANATORIUMS.

From countries as far apart as
the ends of the habitable globe
come reports of a great interest
being taken in the question of
preventive measures against the
most fearful scourge of modern
times - consumption. Do you
think that the phrase just used to
describe that disease is too strongp
Then take the trouble to get stat
istics of maladies prevalent in al
most every country-leaving out
sweeping pestilence in predispos-
ed localities and limited times
and you will find that where any
other foe of humankind has slain
it, tens consumption has slain its
hundreds. Some proof of this is
al hand, but you are not going to
be troubled here with figures.
You are asked to accept the state
ment as fact, failing authority to
disprove it. Enough for the present
argument that consumption is a
dresdfully fell disease. If you
read foreign papers to any extent,
you are aware that extraordinary
measures are being adopted-or
a. least agitated-for both the pre-
vention of the malady and its cure
in early stages. Here is an in
stance of muniticent philanthropy,
in a London dispatch of not older
date than four weeks ago: "Baron-
ess Hirsch, the widow of the late
Baron Hirsch, has given ESQ, 900
iabout four hundred thousand
dollars to found a hospital in
England for children suffering
from phthisis."

New standard for Engineers.

The Australian Government has
adopted a new standard for en-
gineers. They will have to serve
five years in a foundry and will
have to show the certificate of a
machinist. Marine engineers will
also have to serve one year as
third assistant, one year as second
assistant and one year as first
assistant, before they are passed
as chief engineers. The new law
holds good through all Australia.

fetal for that class of the ills to
which flesh is heir. Many seek
our balmy air when it is too late,
which, to some extent, accounts
for the considerable proportion Of
deaths from lung affections, both
in general vital statistics and in
hospital reports. That alarm has
taken hold here, upon the strength
of current medical declarations in
great centers, regarding the dang
or from tubereulous germs, has
become evident in different ways.
1t is not known, at this writing,
whether the cause, either wholly
or partly, actuated the recently
published decision of the trustees
OF the Queens Hospital to admit
no consumptive patients into that
institution. If they have no means
for providing isolated accom- moda-
ton aud attendance for phthisical
subjects, they are probably doing
she right thing in this exclusion.

What has been said about the

ing the character of sanitarium
cannot be 'gainsaid. Climate
alone, though, will not prevent the
existent germs of disease from

In whatever degree tuberculous

ALEXANDRIA, Ind, Sept. 21.-The new
four-inch oil line from Montpelier to this
city, and owned by the Buckeye Pipeline
Company, has been completed, and Is being
tested. Oil is now being pumped from this
field to the receiving tanks at Montpelier.
The past two weeks have not given the AL
exandria field much but dry holes and dis
appointments as a result of operations.
Northeast of town a half mile, in the vicin-
ity of Black, McNair & Co.'S No. well on
the D. M. Scott farm, which started at $50
barrels day, all wells so far drilled have
been failures. The same firms No. 2, Scott
farm, 400 feet southwest of No. l, proved
big saltwater producer and was abandoned.
Young & Co. got salt water and very little
oil in their No. we'll on the Maria Young
farm. 800 feet north from No. 1 on the
Scott lease. Boyd. TAFT & Co.'S we'll, No.
2, on the A. G. Campbell farm, 700 feet east
from Scott No l. shows no oil at seventy
feet in the oil-bearing sand. The same firm
has rig up for well on the o. T. Doxey
lot, 500 feet south of Scott No. 1, but their
chances look slim The Scott well has
proved as bad a fooler as the wells in the
Blackjack pool. All hope for a. connection
between the latter and the town-lot pool
seems gone now The Ohio Oil Company's
No. 2 well, on the Blake farm, started at 240
barrels, but Nos. and are now doing only
225 barrels day, and are showing consid-
cradle salt water, as are all wells on the
northeast side of the pool. The same COM
pany, on the Blake farm, and Shaw & Long,
on the Hall farm, are having a line fight.
The latter firm, in an attempt to get as
close to Blake well No. as possible, came
within fifteen feet of the line with their No.
well on the Hall farm The Ohio Oil Com
pany at once offset it by putting their No.

that part Of hedge fence had to be cut
away. Both wells are being rushed as fast
as possible, with Shaw Long twenty-four
hours in the lead at the start, and both are

wells yet drilled in the field, with better
prospects for oil. On the Dobson farm Judd

due to drill in. The location is mile and

HOPE FOR FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Citizens After the officials, and Books
Must Be Exposed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAUREL, Ind, Sept. 21.-The people of
Franklin county are just now aroused as
never before over the condition of local
finances. For years there have beeen lax
methods used in the reports of expendi-
lures of public funds, and, while little or
nothing has been done in the way of public
improvements taxes have been climbing
higher year by year. The rate now in the
county is $1.52 on the 800, while in Rush
county, with a costly courthouse being paid
for, the rate is but 1.35. Mr.. L. M. Boland,
who assumed charge of the Laurel Review
ian Independent newspaper) last July, is
chiefly responsible for the agitation, which
has been kept up vigorously and contnu-
ously from that time.
At the investigation Of the commissioners
and County Attorney +. M. Alexander, who
gained fame in the Legislature last winter,
twelve of the thirteen township trustees
published short summaries of reports, In d.
rect violation of the law, which imposes
penalty of 500 for failure to publish full
and itemized reports, a duplicate of that
furnished the County Commissioners. Two
of the trustees have been sued their
bonds, and their cases come up next week
in Judge Swift'S court. Lawyers BroaduS
and Florea, of Connersville, have been en-
ployed by the taxpayers to fight the case.
Service has also been had on the county
auditor, asking him to publish in full for
what purpose allowances have been made
by the commissioners, something that he
and his predecessors have failed to do for
some years.

Secretary Alger received a telegram to-day
expressing the opinion that the four steam
ers now going up the Yukon carry ample
provisions for all persons now at Dawson
City and vicinity. If they arrive safely
perhaps there will be no necessity for any
relief measures. If not, it is possible that
Mr.. Ladues suggestion for dog trains

to-day. He was presented by Secretary AL

with a mining company in which Mr.. La

the situation with Mr. Ladue and appeared
deeply interested in his suggestions for the

the opinion prevails that they would he
much more useful than dogs, because they
travel more rapidly, draw more and can

They are TO be sent to st. Michaels in

asked what would be = effect of so many
people from the midst of the fever-stricken
district coming into this city. He said he
had no fear that they would spread the

promptly isolated. The doctor declared
that it was too cold here for spread OF
the disease.
