ATKINSON DETEsTs WHITE.

CIarksburg Nail.
There was a crazy squib In the Charles
ton Gazette OF Wednesday to the effect
that A. B. White was going to pull off in
his gubernatorial fight in favor of Judge
Blizzard. There, of course, is no truth
in 1t. and prominent Republican told US
that the sole object of the report was TO
worry Atkinson. He detests White and is
said to be fighting him. but he hates
Blizzard worse. Blizzard did the square
thing when Atkinson's wife was tried for
forgery at Glenville. and Yves has never
forgiven him for it, and the White Blizzard
squib IN the Gazette was just a bit OF
ag-in-the-bull business rung
in by Atkinson's enemies just to see him
fume.

this anecdote OF the printing Of one OF

somewhat shocked by the scant morals

said, He wrastled with my finger, the

Now that the so-called dog days are
on we begin TO hear of cases of so-call-
ed hydrophob.a and OF treatment for
the same that usually, IL is observed,
results in failure. President Haines OF
the American Society for the Preven-
tion OF Cruelty to Animals scouts the
idea OF anything like so much hydro
phobia as is commonly reported and
points out the extreme rarity of the
disease. He asserts moreover that the
Pasteur treatment and other treat
ments for the disease have seemingly
only increased the number OF deaths
said 10 be due 10 it. Which suggests
that the reason why there are so many
failures OF treatment for hydrophobia
Is because the patients are suffering
from something very different than
what they are treated for.
