a BATTLE OF GERMS.
san Francisco Physician Sees One Disease
Stamp out Another.

An interesting problem is suggested
to the medical world by IA recent ex-
pertinent of DR.. +. II. Woolsey. lie
was called 10 treat two children suffer-
ing from the fever which follows vac
cination, and while they were under
his care both developed diphtheria,
from which they recovered quickly,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
The physician is now almost con-
WINGED that there was CLASH between
the two ferments in the blood, and
that the virus of the vaccine vanquished
the toXine of the diphtheria. He
watched the cases very closely, and he
felt SO certain of the correctness of his
conclusion that in the notice OF The
Gases which he sent TO the health Off
Ger he announced that the diphtheria
bad been lightened by vaccination. The
patients are now strong and well at
time when such sufferers are usually
weak from the effects of the disease.
IT, discussing the matter DR.. Woolsey
said:
THE thought suggested by the re-
cent cases of mine is the antagonism OF
one disease for another. like erysipela.s
10 cancer, which is an entirely new
idea as applied to diphtheria. Wheth-
er or not il will prove Of any practical
value is question upon which | feel

less of great interest scientifically, and

THEY DON'T LIKE STEELE.
Local Populists Disappointed at the
Governors Choice.

The announcement that Henry Steele
will be chief of police has thrown To-
peka POpulists into CONSERVATION. They
sat in the corridors of the hotels last
evening discussing the announcement
and many did not conceal their cha
grin.
Steele is a well known Democrat and
he was Endorsed by David Overmyer
Sheriff Kepleys and other prominent
Democrats, while the Populists were al
most a unit in their support of L. T.
Yount
Colonel F. J. Close, George Wagner,
Mr.. Yount and other prominent Popu-
lists are doing a great deal of complaint
where they talk.
A Topeka Democrat gave the follow
ing explanation of the announcement
made by Governor Leedy that Henry
Steele will be chief of police whent it is
a well known rule that the chief is to
be named by the commissioners:
"A lot of prohibitionists went up to
his office and tried to dictate to Gov
ernor Leedy who should be appointed
on the board. He listened to them I'M
til he got mad and then boldly told
them that Steele would be chief of po-
lice without intending it as an official
announcement. OF course the commits
sioners will follow any request made
by the governor in that respect"
Colonel F. J. Close, who is especially
sore over the appointment, refuses to
discuss the matter.

A Movement in Iowa Legislature to
Cut Down the Fees.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 23.-There was a
lively time in the committee romm OF
the house committee on code revision
this afternoon.
The committee had under considera-
ton that part of the code relating to
the compensation of officers which pro-
vides for the pay of state printer and
binder. The report of the revision COM
mittee fixed the pay of the state printer
for straight matter at the rate of so
cents per 1000 ems, and for table work
up to 80 cents per 1000 ems
It was stated by the members of the
committee that the union price for such
work in Des Moines ranged from 20
cents per 1000 up to so cents 1t is pro-
posed to cut the price specified in the
code to 80 cents and upwards. The state
printers office is one of the best paid
in the state, and there has been cOnsid-
cradle criticism by state papers in re-
gard to the prices allowed for the work.

IN ERUPTION AGAIN.
The Snow Hudson State Printer
Fight Breaks Out.
Shows Attorneys Serve Notice
on the Secretary of State.
Will Apply to the Supreme Court for
Writ of Mandamus.

David Overmyer late yesterday aft
ernoon began legal proceedings for E.
ii. Snow to secure possession of the Of
nee of state printer for the unexpired
term, ending June 80, 1897. The fol-
lowing notice was served upon Secreta-
ry of State w. E. Bush:
To the Executive Council of the State
of Kansas and Each Member There
of:
In 1891 I was elected state printer,
qualified and filled the term.
In 1893 I was elected state printer,
qualified and filled the term.
In 1895 no person was elected state
printer to be my successor for the then
ensuing term. Under the constitution
and laws of Kansas, had and have the
right to hold office until my successor
is elected and qualified. 1 never aban-
ooned the office. Have been and am the
regular, lawful state printer of Kansas.
now demand of you and each of
you, that you recognize me as state
printer and turn over to me the state
printing until July 1, 1897, when my
successor takes office.
Topeka. Kan, Jan. %, 1897
NO action has been taken upon Mr.
SHOWS demand, and as he is preparing
TO go into the supreme court upon ap-
pllcatlon for a writ of mandamus, it is
believed that no action will be taken
until the court passes upon the QueS-
ton and makes an order The executive
council is expected to meet Monday
and determine what shall be done.
1t is said that Gov. Leedy favors the
recognition of Snow. Although there
IS printing committee, composed of
the secretary of state, state treasurer
and attorney general, the power to
make acquisitions for printing is prac-
tically lodged with the secretary of
state, who has not defined his position
in the Snow-HudSOn controversy
Should Snow fail in his attempt to
secure possession of the office, it is
said he is contemplating bringing a suit
to recover from Major Hudson the
profits of the business during the past
Is months which he has held the office
The resolution adopted in the house
caucus postpOning indefinitely the dis
cussion of the state printer question,
is regarded as an Indication that a
majority of the Populist members favor
letting Major Hudson remain till July
LIST.
Scion Gray, sergeant at-arms in the
senate, and J. M. Dunsmore, sergeant
alarms of the house, recognize Major
Hudson as state printer and send to
him all orders for legislative printing.
The recognition of Snow by the ex-
ecutive department would not in all
probability, be followed by the legisla-
tive body, which, according to the res
olutiOn mentioned, would continue to
do business with Major Hudson

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physicians and Patient Alike.

DrRedmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of Piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure
of piles, was the most remarkable rem
edy he had ever seen or tried in one re-
spect; and that was, the instant relief
experienced in all cases, no mater how
severe, from the moment the remedy
was applied; this was the more surpris-
ing to him, because he had carefully an
alyzed the preparation and no trace of
opium, cocaine or similar poison could
be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyamid Pile Cure, because it is
rapidly taking the place of surgical op-
erations and because it is so simple, so
easily applied and contains no mineral
or other poisons so commonly used in
pile cures.
Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the vari-
Gus forms of piles, but never fails to give
immediate relief on the first applica ton,
no matter how severe the pain or dis
comfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use
the remedy without detention from bus
mess of interference with daily occupa-
ton.
Mr. ]. w. Rollins of Sweet Springs
Mo-, writes: 1 consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal; it cured me
in less than 80 days. I waited Is days
or more to be sure L was fully cured be-
fore writing you; am cured and 1 shall
recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure al
every possible opportunity, because il
deserves it.
Although a comparatively new RENE.
dy, it's popularity is such, that all drug
gists now sell it,; If your druggists haSn't
it in stock. he will get it for you if you
ask him as all wholesale druggists have
