Monkeys Have the MensIes.

Why on earth should anyone wish
to give a monkey measles? Presum-
ably DR.. Albert Josias knows, for he
has been trying that experiment.
Measles, it appears, have been hither-
to special distinction of the human
race, and, though everybody has heard
of a measly pig, that is not the right
kind of measles. Pigs decline to get
human measles, or, at least, they do so
in France. Dr. Josias tried them with
contagion and he tried them with
inoculation, and not measle was to
be seen. Then he tried monkey-two
kinds; the macaques were obdurate
but the sajoux Whose English name
escapes us) took the infection just
like any spotty child. Man has nc
longer prerogative to our poor rela.
ton.

nurses, and as many men nurses. The
Relief, like the Vulcan, is a government
boat.
The second hospital ship, the Red
Cross, was originally private yacht.
She is roomy boat, $40 feet over all,
and with beam of % feet AS her
name indicates, she belongs to the Red
Cross society, and is in charge of Drs.
Carbonell, Sollosso, Lesser and Sewell.
The two first are distinguished Cuban
physicians, who are well versed in the
treatment of those diseases peculiar
| to the island.
The cost of the boat was in the neigh
borhood of 5000, while her stores rep
resent an outlay of $4,000 more. This
was all contributed by patriotic citizens
of New York city.
The Red Cross, like the Relief, car
lies full cargo of medical supplies,
cots and hospital stores, amongst which
are two X-ray machines. She will serve
! 3s hospital dispatch boat. and will be
followed south by large schooner that
will bring ice from Maine for distribu-
ton on the ships of the fleet, and If
| possible in the camps. One point of
particular interest is the work the Red
Cross surgeons propose to do among the
wounded They took with them over
1000 yards of insulated wire cable. and
one of the X-ray machines will be OPP
Grated on shore by means of it while the
ship is at anchor off the coast.
These two hospital ships do not, of
course, represent all the provision that
has been made for the care of the sick
and wounded at the front. Other hos
pital ships. such as the Olivette and
Solace, have been with the feet since
the opening of hostilities, but the rev
vessels express the very latest idea in
equipment and the correction of former
mistakes.
Their work is vitality important, as
the greatest mortality amongst armies
ard navies has always been from
wounds and disease. During the re-
beilion, for example. the number of
those who actually died in battle on
land and sea on the northern side was
but 67,65S out of death total of 30o,-
150-in these figures are not included
40,154 who died from accident of one
sort or another, or were murdered or
persisted in southern prisons-43.012
died from the effect of wounds, while
199,T20, almost three times as many as
were killed in battle, died from the va
rious diseases that periodically devas-
tated the fighting force.
Since the close of the rebellion sur
gerry has made great progress, while
the study of germ diseases and the diff
ferent forms of epidemics have all but
revolutionized the practice of medicine.
The result is that the present war finds
us prepared to treat wounds and dis
cease with a certainty of cure unknown
to the medical fraternity of 80 years
ago.

The accommodation for the sick
and wounded are particularly fine.
The hospital wards occupy the entire
body of the ship. Here are comforta-
bic beds for 800 patients, though by a
little crowding almost twice that num-
Der may be cared for The lighting is
all done by electricity, which also
furnishes the motive power to keep
swinging 100 fans. The operating
room is on the main deck, and is fitted
up with every modern device known
to the practice of surgery. An X-ray
machine is an important feature of the
equipment.

The Vulcan's officers are: Lieut..

Lieut.. |. T. Madge, executive officer,

Although it is not expected that she
will have occasion to use them, the
Vulcan carries five rapid-fre guns of
small caliber, and could probably give
a very good account of herself in a
brush with the Spaniards.

The Barber at Bakers Corners-M.
Quad's Changes His Mind About
Getting q Shave.
copyright, 1881

lCOpyrlSht, lo9o.l
They said there was barber al
Bakers Corners, but l reached the
place to find that it consisted of gen.
eral store, two houses and a blacksmith
shop. The blacksmith was shoeing q
mule as looked into his shop, but after
a minute he Strengthened up and asked
what he could do for me.
81 was told that there was barber
here!" replied.
80 thar is, sah."
"Over at the store?"
"No, sah-right yere. Jest got my
tools down last week, and am ready to
shave you."
81 never heard of a blacksmith barber
before" l said, as he began paving
over things in an old soap box.
Nor l either" he replied, but that
don't make no difference. Reckon a
man who kin shoe mewl kin shave a
face. Yefe's the tools, and you kin sit
down in the shop or out doahs."
He brought out cobbler's knife. a
hunk OF yellow soap, and the remains OF
an old brush, and started to make a
lather.
"Have you ever shaved anybody?"
asked.
"Noap-not yet"
"And is that what you are going to
use for razor?"
'That,s it. Git off your coat"
AS kindly and gently as I could,
told him that had changed my mind
and would not get shaved for another
week, and after looking at me for q
minute he flung the things back into
the box, picked up one of the mules
hind legs and said:
"Jest as you say, stranger. l shoe
nevis, mend wagons, shave folks and
act as doctor on weekdays and preach
on Sundays, and man as don't want
anything in my line needn't hev I'll"

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

Chief, says: I'VE won't keep
house without DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds. Experimental with many
others, but never got the true rem
edy until we used DR.. Kings New
Discovery. No other remedy can
take its place in our home, as in it we
have a certain and sure cure for
coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc. -"
1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as DIR. Kings

good, because this remedy has rec
ord of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

WORK ON HENNEPIN CANAL.
Ground Broken the Feeder at Rock
Falls-Monthly Report.

Ground was broken last week on
the Henuepin feeder at Rock Falls.
An elevating grader was started at
work on the first mile. A telephone
line will be constructed along the first
eight miles, with stations at intervals
so that Capt. Wheeler's headquarters
can be communicated with. Men re-
ceive $3.50 per day and man and
team $2.75. The men will be boarded
at $3.50 per week. The contractors
hope to be able to work all winter.
The first day 30 mule teams were at
work on two mile sections.
Maj. Marshall has submitted his
monthly report on the progress of the
work on the Hennepin canal to Gen.
Wilson, chief of engineers. He shows
that Sept. 80 s.. 214 076 had been ex-
pended on the project and an unex-
pended balance of 81 1924, 453 remained
in the treasury. The general project,
so far as it relates to the Illinois river,
is essentially completed, as all locks
and dams have been constructed.
Some dredging, however, remains to
be done. Already 81 500, 1874 has been
spent on this portion of the project.

BANTAMS FIGHT A DRAW.
Pretty Exhibition OF the Manly Art ut
Davenport Last Night

/
Maurice Raugh and Walter Bloom,
pair of why 1l6-pounders. the form
er champion of his weight in Virginia.
and the latter champion of Chicago,
! battled Is spirited rounds under the
at Claus Groth hall, Davenport, last
night, before an audience of several
hundred lovers of the manly art.
Malachy Hogan, of Chicago, who
officiated as referee, declared the
contest a draw. Raugh injured
his right wrist in the 18th bout, and
il was feared he had fractured bone.
At any rate the little fellow, who from
the outset displayed more aggressive
ness than his opponent, during the final
two rounds dropped to the defensive,
only using one wing in sluggi ng.
Sporting men say that it was the
neatest, prettiest and most artistic
match that has Yet been pulled off
hereabout. The men were evenly bal
anced, both in weight, height and
science. although Raugh appeared
more spare. There was very little
soldering in the fight-it was a fast
and furious swinging of dukes. Yet
neither man bore evidence of punish
ment beyond bloody mouth when
the struggle was concluded.
Preceding the event of the evening
there were friendly bouts between
John Richie, of St. Louis, and Tommy
Smith, of Davenport, and Eddie San
try and Hayes NUNS, the latter of
Davenport.
Santry is in excellent condition.
and his friends and admirers, of
whom he has many in this vicinity,
confidently look for victory for him
in his fight with George Dixon ut San
Francisco the 22d of next month.
Jack Leonard, the promoter of the
Tri-City Athletic club events, has so
far fulfilled his promises to the lovers
of sport in furnishing first-class at
fractions. and that his efforts are APP
preciated is evidenced by the gener-
Gus support he is receiving. Mr.
Leonard announces for Nov. II Il

O'Leary.

of the late Congressman Post, who is
on the e o. p. ticket as a candidate
for the county judgeship. A deter
mined effort to defeat him has been
in progress ever since he was named
in the convention The opposition To
him grows largely out of what his OPP
pOnents call the manner in which he
secured the nomination. Judge p.
H Sanford, present county judge,
was his competitor. The Judge is an
old man. and has held the office for
several terms. When the day of the
county convention arrived it was so
clear that Mr.. Post had decided ma
jority of the delegates that Judge
Sanford would not allow his name to
be presented. So the coast was clear
for Mr.. Post.
claimed he was not fairly beaten in
the primaries. The Judge is backed
up in his allegations by his friends
and the opposition to Mr.. Post in the
ranks of his own party grows more
pronounced as election day APP

Mr.. Post is the law partner of Con-
gresham Prince at Galesburg. And
the latter gentleman will no doubt
feel the effects of the split" when the
votes are counted in November.
