THE MISSOURI ELECTION.

The ant-eXpanSion press from one
end Of the line to the other are glor-
flying over the election of a Democratic
Congressman in Bland's old district
They say that the expansion question
was the chief one in the campaign, and
that in some localities it was the only
one. Accordingly they are very happy
over this "the first defeat of the Ad-
ministration But the New York sun
interprets the election of Judge Shack
the Sun" the election had no anti-ex-
pansion significance:
The Democratic voters of the Eighth
Missouri District are of their old way
Of thinking. They are constitutionalIy
opposed to all Republican plans and
purposes irrespective of their merit and
efficacy, and whether they are foreign
or domestic They did not vote against
expansion; they voted against the Re-
publican party. They would have
done the same if it had been against
expansion and the Democratic party for
it. Missouri is a sure Democratic
Eighth District merely illustrates that
fact anew.
The New York Times" which can
not be called friend of Republicans,
takes a somewhat similar view, saying:
The Eighth Missouri is a Democratic
district. The Republicans have car
ried it but once in twenty-five years. It
would seem therefore that in electing
Judge Shackleford over his Republican
opponent the voters of the district
merely followed their immemorial Gus
tom of giving the most votes to the
Democrat This Democratic triumph
is not solitary, startling, and epoch
making event, but a jog biennial
and commoner garden custom of the
people of the district. Certainly they
have rebuked the Republican Admin
istration. They always do, SO often as
their elections happen to occur during
the incumbency of a Republican Pres
ident.

Where She Wasn't Shy.

She was shy of germs, in the water
She boiled and killed them by steam,
She was shy of germs in the butter,
And microbes that flourish in cream.
She was shy of germs in the sirloin,
OF germs in the marrowfat bone,
She was shy of germs on her money
And germs that YOU meet at the phone
She was shy of germs at the playhouse
OF germs on the car transfer slips,
But she wasn't a bit shy OF the microbes

scription under the auspices of the Yer

The secretary, DR.. G. w. Hoffman, will

The Four.h at Renessson.

There was peculiar interest in being
on the broad veranda of Bencasson on the
4th. At 6 A. NJ. mercury was at 6S, at
noon 90 in the shade, but a good breeze
kept old Glory in graceful waves all day.
Cannon echoes reverberated among the
entire circle of hills and mountains, and it
was asserted that the beating of drums
was waited to the heights from Williams
vile festivities. In the evening electric
fireworks" were displayed from distant
clouds to the northward, and various rock
cts were visible from Chesterfield lake,
sent up from Pine Grove Springs and Sill
verdale houses, as averred by one well
versed in localities, Williamsville, East
Dummerston, Westminster and the village
of Marlboro 1000 feet above the sea. Old
Chesterfield on its mountainside showed a
bonfire, apparently, and balloons. Other
high places and the little valleys lightened
the scene at intervals, and from the rocks
on Bencasson grounds went up a good dis
play of fireworks varied by flashing of a
powder train upon the level. Later in the
evening two more extensive lights We're
seen which were thought to be distant
fires. One possibly in the region of Graf
ton or Bellows Falls, one far to the east
ward.

Kittredge Haskins stepped from train
at White River junction the other day long
enough to announce that he was a candi-
date for Congress. This relieves the gov
ernorship situation, but complicates the
other. Col. Haskins has received some ia
vorable mention for governor, and his con-
gressional candidacy appears to meet with
favor. If he can keep the rest of the
brainy aspirants for honor in Windham
county quiet he will be strong man in
the convention, but If others are to dis
pute the honor with him, as is usually the
case with Windham county men, he will
be badly handicapped. II Montpelier Argus.

A Specific for Consumption.

The Promising work of DIR. BehrInR, a
Prominent European Specialist.
Surgeon j. c. Boyd of the navy, one of
the delegates to the recent tuberculosis
congress in Berlin, is preparing a report
for the navy department on the work of
the congress. Dr. Boyd thinks the results
of the congress will be important. The
chief question interesting the profession is
the preparation Of an effective serum to
con bat the disease. The most promising
work in this connection is that of DR.,
Behring, one of the most prominent of the
European specialists. The results obtained
by DR.. Behring have attracted the atten-
ton of the medical world and are being
pushed as rapidly as is consistent with
careful scientific work.
The profession sees no reason why the
development of the tuberculosis serum
should not revolutionize the mortality rate
in consumption as much as has the devel-
opment of the anti-toxine of diphtheria
The development of cOnsumptive santa
RUINS in Europe is another matter that has
attracted much interest among the profess
sion on this side OF the Atlantic. 1t is
assured that the disease in It's earlier
stages can be checked. With the building
up of the patients general condition he is
less liable TO a recurrence of the disease
after leaving the institution, even IL the
lung tissue already destroyed cannot be re-
placed. Even in advanced stages the dis
ease can be so checked that an individual
may, with care and good climate. live out
his allotted span with only fraction of
the lung area possessed by normal sub
ject.
Preparations are being made for the es-
Enlistment of a consumptiye ranch In the
high and dry region of the Southwest for

picious eases be ore they enter the service.
The chief objection to the location. as
planned, for the marine sanitarium is the
long distance inland, making the transpor-
tation Of invalids difficult and expensive.
Good results are expected, however, from

Gov Sayers wired yesterday to the sec
rotary of war: "Please Immediately order
by wire boats at Galveston to ascend riv-
ers, using launches and yawls to rescue
people from the waters, which are wide
spread over the lands of the lower Brazos.
Please order commanding officer at San
Antonio to place at my disposal for imme-

mend to legislature to refund to the Unit
ed States their value when it next meets,
and do not doubt that it will be promptly
done. Devastation great. Immense loss
Of life probable. Prompt action very i'm
portant."
News received by Gov. Sayers from the
flooded territory indicates distressing
condition of affairs. In addition TO APP
peals already received for aid, one came
from Fulshead, Tex, reading as follows:
Thousands starving. Immediate aid
wanted.n
From other sections of the flooded dis
trict south of Hearne and between there
and the mouth of the Brazos appeals for
aid are coming in. Every report is that
the people are entirely bereft of their
homes, food and clothing.
