DIPHTHERIA CURED.
Wonderful Discovery Made by Dir.
Bracelin.

New YORK, May 3l.-Dr 8racelin,
an American bacteriologist, has dis
covered Il new cure for diphtheria.
Ex-senator Mcpherson of New Jersey
induced the Health Commissioner of
Jersey City to investigate the claims
OF Bracelin. Joseph Medill of the
Chicago Tribune did the same thing
in Chicago. after Il member of his
family had 0been cured of the disease
by the discovery. Mr.. Medill recon-
merded the remedy to Mcpherson.
Four Jersey City physicians en-
plyed the Bracelin last week. In two
of these cases antitoxin had failed.
In all the cases the patients got i'm
mediate relief, and, although two Of
them were so far gone that artificial
respiration was employed, all re-
covered.
In Chicago. it IS said. that cut of
105 virulent cases only one death re-
suited.
Bracelin calls his discovery the
Corrected Chlorine Treatment. The
method of attacking the disease is by
limitations of chlorine gas, the en-
plOyment of which Bracelin makes
possible by means of chemical treat
mcnt which destroys the caustic and
irritating properties.
The formulae for the chlorine So
luton are given to the profession in
an opeu letter, written by the discov-
erer. The solution is made as fol-
lows:
Solution zinc chloride, % parts: So
luton arseLic chloride, 30 parts: hy-
drochloric acid. part: water, 4g
parts.
The corrective is a combination OF
menthol. eucalyptol and camphor.
The solutions are mixed in chamber
of glass and the patient is forced 10
inhale the vapor liberated by the re-
sultant chemical action through a rub
ber mOnthpiece, or the vapor is blown
into throat and lungs.
Jersey City physicians are divided
as to the merritt of the treatment. Its
advocates are very enthusiastic and
expect mere wonderful results than
those thus far obtained.

The Editor Absent

The Editor Absent
John II. Russell, editor of the Com
ct has quit the town, it seems, and
numerous creditors are lin thehOle.
He borrowed a lot of money in small
and large sums from various parties,
and about ten days ago packed up
his baggage and took the road. and
as Bro. Wilkinson, former editor of
the Commet used to urge good Popu-
lists TO do. is doubtless somewhere
now keeping in the middle of the
road d''-and as far away from Jack
son as possible. Some time ago Bro.
Wilkinson. our Cincinnatus and for
mer editor of the Comet. having
grown weary OF futile efforts to save
the country, and longing to return
again to his plow and the sylvan re-
treats OF his country home, cast about
for good, reliable ''middle-of-the-
road editor to take his place in the
Comet office. His eyes fell on Mr.. Russell
and Mir. Russell's eyes fell on him.
| The editor came and took charge of
the Office. He made his appearance
in Jackson with Il lot of gospel hymn
books under mis- arm and rushed i'm
media,eiy into the churches and they
called him Brother Russell. He sold
some of his hymn books 10 the va
riOus churches for merely nothing
and then gave the others TO them free.
When lie settled down to his editorial
work he promised a heap. He cut
wider swath than the old Mccormick
reaper used to when it first struck
the country. He organized 4 church
here, he prayed in public, he projected
a fOur-story brick business house in
| West jackson. and advertised for
safe a $3s, 600 farm he had in Virgin
/ ia: ne acknowledged receipt OF an C"z
der for 500 JOB of printing from
Hannibal, Mo-, and thanked his GUS
/ toner for ''aqS100 check as part pay
nIent" in advance: he increased the
Comets circulation to l.G00 u in two
weeks time. he had a power press at
| Hannibal, which he would bring here
shortly, and borrowed $50 and got a
good POpulist brother and a Repub-
lican brother tC endorse the note, etc.
etc, No wonder. then, when some
ten days ago he gave it out that he
wanted TO 90 off and get married, and
was short Of funds, that he had so
little trouble about borrowing plenty
of money. Confidence was fully re-
stored, apd Populists, Republicans
and Democrats rushed to the assis-
tance of the iovelorn editor. He de-
departed. and the day he was TO return
came but our editor came not. Then
his numerous creditors began to get
uneasy. and each day at train
tine they would collect on the public
square in front of tho court house aud
and look wishfully down towards the
depot. This was kept mp until last
Tuesday when genral stampede was
made for the law offices. and consta-
bic Howard was set TO work adding
attachment after attachmedt to the
Comets tail until now it reacher clear
across the sky. Bro. Russell, we be-
lieve. claimed he was from Hannibal,

LEXINGTON, KY, May 27.-Great
excitement was caused here this af-
ternoon when it became known that
Governor Brady ha9 ordered the

ready to go to Owingsville, where
turnpike raiders threaten to burn the
town. Forty-five soldiers left on the
c. x o., express at $50, and will 'ar-
rive at Owingsville abont ii o'clock.
This is part of Governor Bradley's
programme to put stop to the de-
struction Of the toil-gatesin in Kentucky
and touphold the lawagainst anarchy.
The troops were eager to 90, and a
number of their friends who were
formerly members of the State Guard
accompanied them. The cause of
sending the troops to Owingsville to-
night is that the examining trial of
Charles Jones, one OF the raiders,
wounded and captured in the battle
near Owingsville Friday night, be-
gins there tomorrow. 1t is feared
that the raiders and their friends will
be in Owingsville POO strong. as they
have threatened to mobilize an army
OF that number and rescue the pris-

DARING BURGLARY.
I. L. Clark & Sons Store Robbed
Blinds Up and Lights Burning.

L. L. Clark & Sons Store Robbed
Blinds Up and Lights Burning.
successful and clever burglary
was executed yesterday morning. 1.
L. Clark & Sons store was entered
and quantity of jewelry taken. 1t is
not known definitely whether any
thing else was taken or just how great
the loss was
Entrance was effected through a
rear upstairs window. Tracks showed
that one man wearing large overshoes
had approached the north side of the
store and climbed to the roof, using
the iron window bars as a ladder. The
rear part of the building is but one
story high, the front being two stories.
From the rear roof TO which the man
had climbed it was easy to reach the
east gable window of the two-story
part. On the inside was a heavy
wooden windowshutter held in place
with heavy wooden crossbar The
robber had whitfield around the shut
ter after raising the window and made
hole just below the bar. 1t was cas-
lily lifted up and the shutter removed.
The door of the stairway was open,
and the man had evidently slipped be-
hind the east counter, crawled along
to the front of the store, where the
jewelry case was.
The blinds were up and the lights
burning, so the man could have been
seen by passers had he not kept under
the counter. A good bit of jewelry
was left behind. Exit was made by
the back door, which was left open.
