MISSOURI A NEWS,
Gaining Fame in California.


Says a dispatch sent from Los An
geles, Cal:
Thomas Powell, who anne here recently from
Columbia, Mo-, to develop his original theories
as to the cause. nature and prevention of dis
ease, is submitting himself to the most ex-
treme tests TO prove the correctness OF his
views In the presence OF a dozen physicians,
specially invited. he was inocuIated in
the left arm with sputum from a
patient in an advanced stage OF con-
sumption and IN the right arm with
the germs OF diphtheria. The tuberculosis
sputumn was brought by one Of the invited
physicians. A bacteriologist of considerable
note, examined the Sputum under a micro
scope, and found more than % bacillL. Dr..
Powell's arm was scarifed and the sputum
was applied in the manner usually employed
in incubation of vaccine. A local physician
performed the operation, and was con-
graduated on his courage bY DR..
Powell, who said heretofore he had
been unable to find anyone who dared
to undertake the task for fear OF being access
sorry to murder. The doctor has now been in
oculated not only with tuberculosis and diph-
liberia, but with anthrax, CHAMBERS and typhoid
fever, and he says he is equally willing to a
test with cholera, leprosy or any other OF the
diseases generally considered fatal. He will
appear again before q company Of local ply
sicIans and submit himself to any tests they
may suggest

The Creamery to Run.

The Bristolite is most happy to an
nounce to the people CT this vicinity that
a plan is in progress OF formation where
by the Webster Creamery Association
will take charge OF and operate the Bris-
tol creamery. This means that Bristol
dairymen will receive the same price for
butter-fat that their Webster brethren
are receiving, and that the creamery will
be permanently established here.
David Williams, who is the prime
mover oil the enterprise, desires that
control OF the plant be maintained By
the dairymen OF this vicinity, as in no
other way "a the, he brought to take
an active interest la the building-up OF
this profitable branch OF agriculture.
The intention is Tor the present To OPP
crate the plant IA a Swimming station.
The cream will be shipped to Webster
and the butter made there at the min
imum expense. The proposal is a grand
one for Bristol, and promises TO make
the town second in the county in the
production Of utter.-Bristolite.

The Colored Brother.

The typical negro tenant arrives
at a new home in a mule wagon or
with a bundle OF rags, a fry
ing-pan. and a covey Of children,
and he stays with a landlord who
may have saved him from restitution
by advancing provisions and dry
goods, only so long as the caprice OF
the hour dictates. Landowners
who have sunk into financial ruin by
mortgaging their property have
nearly always been dragged into
the slough BIZ the effort to help the
negroes out Of ii. The crop made
by the vera e negro farmer is sub
ject to many contingencies besides
these Of the weather. he does not
hesitate tc leave bis field at the most
critical season if pleasure calls him /:
..big meetings he never can resist,
and these take place during the i'm
portant agricultural months Of July
and August, first at o church and
then at another. After the mules
have been working hard all the week
in this busy season, they are often
driven from ten to fifteen miles on
Sundays, carrying wagon-loads Of
men, women, and children, long
bright ribbons flying out from the
heads of the female members OF the
family, whose hair has been tightly
plated and bound with cords during
the week in order to produce a holi-
day sensation in an ample psyche
knot at the back and a bushel-like
roundness in front (; they appear in
fancy waists and big sleeves, and
re gale themselves and their friends
with a dinner of fried chicken, cake,
and watermelons after the meeting,
rags being good enough to wear,
hoe-cake and bacon good enough to
eat, during the week. Like his
A frican ancestors, the American
negro is miserable without jolliica-
tions and Hastings if he can have
them, he will do a hard job of work
between times. - Frances Albert
Doughty, in May L~ippincott's.

Mr.. VI. j. Norton, a prominent citizen
OF Andover, was in the city between
freight trains last Tuesday. We wish TO
acknowledge a pleasant call from the
gentleman. Mr.. n. is the butter-maker
at Andoyer and he reports his creamery
as in a fourishing condition, it running
four days each week with a rapidly in
creasing patronage. This speaks well
for the people OF the west end OF the
county and shows they are alive to their
best interests and well up-to-date.

The Board OF Regents Hearing.

That the hearing of the Board of
Regents case by the Supreme Court
vas without result is to be deplored
by those who feel tina. the matter
should be ended in the interests of
the educational interests of the
state. 1t was generally understood
that both boards were to go ami.
cably into court, waive all time
exhausting preiminaries, present
the cas- aud abide by the decision.
To reach this end, the old board
sometime ago applied for an in
junction restraining the newly ap.
pointed board from exercise ng any
of the duties of regents, which was
temporarily granted, coupled with
an order restraining the old board
likewise. The situation was &C
ceptei and both sides appeared in
court Tuesday to present their ar
guments. The plaintiffs told
board) were represented by Atty's.
Hall and Cheever of Brooklngs and
the defendants by Atty Gen1
Grigsby, Attorneys Stewart, Null,
Horner and Rice. A mutual IN
derstanding was supposed to exist
by which both sides were TO appear
in court on injunction day and try
the case solely on Its merits or as if
in regular quo warranto proceed
ings and the decision was to be &c
cepted as final. In the opening of
the ease the defendants we're order
ed to file a demurrer, but to save
time the arguments were proceeded
with, the demurrer being cod
sidered as filed. Several of the ad-
yisory counsel on defendants side
represented other interests involved
IN the case as side-issues, not
ably the liquor interest. After
the arguments had been heard the
counsel for the new board s.funk-
ed. Grigsby refused TO file his
answer and stated to the court that
they we're willing to have the
court render an opinion, upon the
arguments as presented that day,
as TO whether the constitution had
been amended, but further than
this he did not want the court to
GO. BY his action the case may be
delayed for weeks as the court will
have to decline, under the circum-
stances, to render an opinion al to
the merits of the case, but may
simply utter an opinion as to
whether the injunction should lie,
leaving the situation precisely as it
was before any action vas COM
menced. Just why defendants
should take this course is q mystery
other than the weakness OF their
ease. Counsel, regents aud others

RepubIicanism in the Air.


There seems to be a sort Of repub-
lican spirit in the air in this state
this spring. Many Of the city cleo
tons have been run on party lines.
The only way to teach the doctrines
of the party and lay its foundation
principles deep and lasting is to
begin at the bottom and place men
in positions of influence who hold
sound principles. In this way, the
influence Of position, be it little or
much, viii be welded in the right
direction. Webster held its election
as we did with regular party tickets
in the field and elected every repub-
ican. Yankton did the same. The
Aberdeen republicans elected three
out Of four aldermen and a full
school board. There are a good
many Others in the same list as the
above cities, and we believe that
republican principles will be
strengthened by this course.

Cuba's Fiat 7oney.

The Cubans are having an exper-
fence with cheap money and plenty
Of it. Weylsr is forcing upon them
paper money. 1t is fat money, real
fat money OF the kind talked about
by our populist friends, based on
credit and nos or gold o other
things Of value. The bishops have
refused to accept this cheap money
for the church, and even baptismal
and marriage ceremonies must be
paid for with gold. Those who want
to know all about cheap and album
dant money should make inquiries
OF the Cubans.

Marshall County Sentinel and Kidd

Tariff First -Then Prosperity.

Aberdeen News.
The man who would expect to
gather roasting ears the next day
after planting his corn is no more
unreasonable than those who expect
to e returned prosperity before the
tariff bill is passed. Nothing so
~unsettles business business as the
tendency of a tariff measure affect
ing importations of articles of all
classes. The manufacturer is unable
to enter intelligently upon manu-
featuring operations and the dealer
is utterly unable to place orders
with the manufactured until the rates
OF duty upon goods are determined.
Thus there can be no activity in the
manufacturing lines until the tariff
bill becomes y law, and without
ACTIVITY in these lines the prosperity

in commenting upon the unparalleled
horrors of the situation, that the

try are directly responsible for all
the bloody crimes that are committed
in the name of warfare, they are
right. / believe that our share OF

They re Here.
Huronite.

There are people in every CON-
munity who want to tear down in
stead of build ng up. They attack
character with as little h~esitancy as
a gardener does a weed, and are
ouly content when they have put in
a good blow at some honest mans
name. You can detect such people
easily. They never have a good
word to say for any one or anything.
They have no kind words and no
kind looks. They feast upon SANDER
as the crow does upon carrion, and
they are happiest in their ghoulish
giee when some poor creature has
been overtaken by misfortune. Such
people should be summed. A leper
IS companionable compared with
them and solitude is made glorious
by their absence.

The Spring Election Straw.

Brown County Sentinel
Election returns from different
cities in the state this spring have
been highly gratifying to repubE-
cans and conservative democrats.
In nearly every instance, the pop
uiists laid down early, seeing the
utter uselessness Of making a fight
against odds Of four to one. The
drift Of public sentiment is swiftly
turning into the old and safe channel
and two years hence will see the
Pop forces utterly swept away like
cobwebs before a Kansas zephyr.

only a f-o-e-.rrer Of what may be
expected.
