The Only Thing
Needed
To Remove Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Consumption
and Pneumonia
From the List of Dangerous Dis
eases Is the Education OF
the People.

Ever since the discovery that catarrh.
bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption
were purely local diseases. caused by the
the medical profession throughout tho
whole world have bent all their energies
to finding some method or remedy by
which these baciIli could be reached and
destroyed. How they have succeeded is
best told by a glance at the reports pub
iished by the different boards OF health
in all the large cities In this country.
which show not only great increase In
the number of deaths yearly from these
diseases, but a startling growth in the
number of persons afflicted. This failure
to find Il cure for diseases of the respi-
ratory organs must not be construed 10
mean lack of ability on the part of
the medical profession. for they have dis
covered many remedies which would kill
these germs. Yet, strange to say. not ono
of them could be conveyed to the parts
affected by dry air. 1t can be readily
seen. then. that the discovery OF "Hyo-
mel, a germicide of sufficient power TO
kill at once the bacilli of these diseases,
and at the same time volatile enough TO
impregnate every particle of air breathed
by the patient. yet leaving it free from
moisture. was one of vital Importance to
the medical world. Doctors throughout
the whole country began TO test the EN-
cacy of this new remedy and now. after
two years trial In hundreds of cases un-
der their own care. over $500 physicians
claim that "Hyomei," the Australian Dry
Air Cure is the only treatment by which
all the diseased parts of the respiratory
organs can be reached and cured

would seem. then, that nothing remains
to be done In order to remove these dis

Glasses of Plays That Abound In

We have the theater hat rebeliiOn

managers are conquerors. We women

whiplash of the I'laywrights sarcastic

1t is the same old sarcasm, frayed TO a
disreputable condition of ssnabbiness-
Still it seems to have force enough lett

had the hardihood to introduce the sibe

II seems to be a positive mania with

of the soprano rose clearly and distinct

She paused, and the tenor took up the
strain:
Nee-ec-ee-ther do they spin.
They toi-oi-oi-oil not,
They toll not.
They toll not,

The tenor ceased, and the basso, a
solemn. red-haired young man, with a
somewhat worldly-looking eye and a
voice like foghorn. broke in:
Nay-ay-ay-ayther do they spin.
They toi-oi-oi-oil not,

Then the voices of the three were lift

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS.
Getting Ready for the Struggle at
 Sacramento Today.

Sacramento, Cal. Aug. 15.-All indi- cations tonight point to lively time on the floor cf the democratic state convention tomorrow, growing out of the presence of contesting delegations from San Francisco. The glad hand is being shaken everywhere tonight. The tendency is apparent on all sides to defer all serious business until to- morrow. Mayor James D. Phelan is to be chairman of the San Francisco delegation. Ex-Mayor William H. Workman of the Los Angeles delega- tion is very much in earnest on the subject of securing an endorsement by the convention of Stephen M. White to succeed himself as United States senator.
 MT White has publicly stated that he is too poor a man to accept the honor and responsibility of again wearing the toga The Los Angeles delegation has come to Sacramento resolute in it's purpose to induce him to reconsider his refusal to again stand as the party's candidate. Some opposition to the fusion movement has developed. It is, however, but freely expressed and in out of the way corners. It is now believed that James G. Mcguire will receive by acclama- ton the nomination for governor. Sen alor Sewell of Mendocino county ap- pears t" De the only other candidate.

BOND APPLICATIONS RETURNED.
Postoff1ce Official Carries Paper Back
 to New York Firms.

Washington, Aug. 15.-An official of the bookkeeping division of the post office department has gone to New York to return hundreds of applica- tions for bonds by New York firms. The bonds are mailed by employees of the postoff1ce department. Two or three large trust companies of New York appeared as attorneys for appli- cants fer ponds. Hundreds of appli- cations were made out in the names of different persons, with powers of at .orney attached, each Of which under the revenue law, requires a 25-cent stamp. The companies with powers of attorney evidently expected that answers to the applications were to be forwarded to them and not to the per sons whose names were attached to the applications.
 The government did exactly the con- trary. and now large number of re- plies from the individuals have been piling up at the postoff1ce department Some answer that they never signed the applications, some that they have not the money, and did not expect to have to pay any, while nearly all of the replies in the case of two or three companies are shown to be fraudulent. The attempt to secure bonds by this process Is apt to prove rather expen- sive for the companies in the matter of revenue stamps alone.

THE FIRST BLOODSHED.
Union Miners Precipitate Trou-
 ble at Pana, III.

Pana. H., Aug. 15.-The coal min srs' lockout here reached climax this morning. A serious shooting occurred on the highway near the city limits leading to the Springside coal mine. This is the only one of four large coal mines here that is attempting to do any mining, and but seven non-union miners are working. The seven go heavily armed to and from the shaft and are under the guard of the op- orators and deputy sneriffs with Winchesters.
 Today several hundred union miners were congregated on the principal highways leading to the mine, when Ed Bones and James Palmer, non union men, rode on horseback into he miners lines and without provo cation, it is alleged, began firing into he crowd, at the same time retreating

ammunition will be wasted if a single shot rife is used than if a magazine gun is supplied to ali the troops.
 While the ordnance department sides with the advocates of the Spring field to large extent, they admit that the days of black powder are num- hered and they assert that just as soon as a supply of the smokeless variety can be secured black powder will be abandoned. Already contracts for millions of pounds of the smokeless variety have been entered into, new factories for making this explosive are starting up in all sections of the coun- try and should it be found necessary to put large force of infantry into the province of Havana two or three months hence, it is likely that cart ridges charged with snokeless powder will entirely supersede the old variety. The war with Spain, in other words, has convinced the ordnance authori- ties and will convince congress that smokeless powder is the only variety to be used in a modern campaign.

A MYSTERIOUS POISONING.
Mrs. Dunning's Death Was Sent to
 Her Across the Continent

San Francisco, Aug 15.-None of the many friends and acquaintances ip this city of MT. and Mrs. John Pres ton Cunning can offer any plausible information why any one in San Francisco should send poisoned choc- plates to Dover, Del, from the eating of which candies, Mrs. Cunning and her sister died. Arguing upon the theory that the tragedy was she re- suit of carefully planned act on the part of some one who desired to take Mrs. Dunning's life, her friends here are unable to suggest any reasonable motive. Nor can any one offer any clue to the mysterious poisoning On the contrary, the suggestion that the poisoning was intentional is secuted by those who know Mrs. Dun ming.

Washington, Aug 75.-Minister Se- wall at Hawaii hs informed the state department that Hawaii has paid to Japan S75,000 as indemnity for the re- fusal of the Hawaiian government to allow certain Japanese to laud in Ha- waii at various times durng the past three years. Cutie a complication arose over the claim of Japan for larger amount about the time the new treaty of annexation was negotiated, but this payment no doubt clears 1t all up Mir. Sewall says that the pay ment of the $75 900 referred to was in full settlement of all Japanese claims, public and private.

THE NEW AND THE OLD.
The Mauser-krdg-Jorg Coniro-
 versy Unsettled.

Washington, Aug. 15.-1he contro- versy among experts in ordnance supplies as to the relative value Of the Springfield single shot rifle ard the -Jorge1sen magazine arm is not settled as result of tie Santiago campaign by any means. But officers and men who have returned from the front with severe wounds are unani- nous in declaring that il they had been compelled to stop the old-fash- toned 45-caliber bullet unsteady Of the 30-caliber Mauser they would not have been in the condition of convalescence in which they now find themselves t is generally agreed that for long caliber arm is infinitely superior to the larger bored rifles. But on the other hand recoveries from wounds occasioned by getting in the way of a Mauser bullet are twenty times more rapid than ever were known from similar wounds inflicted by the big Ieaden bullet of the past.
 One of the most remarkable results of the war is the demonstration that the human anatomy can stand a small puncture without any serious results One officer in Washington today was shot in the mouth, the ball entering through his left cheek, smashing nearly all of the incisor teeth of his lower jaw and then being deflected. taking a downward course through the muscles of his neck and finally lodging in his back. The bullet has been extracted and he wears it as a watch charm. The hole in his cheek was entirely healed and but for the fact that he is waiting for the dentist to complete new set of teeth, he shows TO signs whatever of the terri N'o wound which he received, for the 9car on his cheek is so slight that no one would notice it unless it should he pointed out.
 And yet, while the advocates of the large and small bored rifle are still discussing the relative merits of the two weapons, there is no controversy whatever over the question of the su- periority of smokeless powder. With out a single exception the men who have been under fire are united in in sisting that the smokeless variety of eunpowder is so far superior to. the black variety that it is not to be mentioned in the same breath The champions of the Springfield arm de- clare that with smokeless powder the old fashioned weapon is in every way superior to the latest devices. They declare that troops, especially those who are comparatively green, will do far more effective work with rife which requires to be newly charged every time it is fired. And they in- sist that the difference in range is not an important factor because sharp shooting at distance beyond the ex- treme range of the Springfield is out of the question. Besides this, less
