simple m.,hoa for A.phyria.

A simple method for resuscitation
from asphyxia is reported by DR.. w.
Freuderthal. He introduces the index
finger into the mouth and moves 1t to
and fro over the epiglottis, causing an
effort to swallow, which is Immediately
followed by return OF respiration.
This has proven successful when the
older methods have failed, while 1t
makes severe traction upon the tongue
unnecessary.

Alcohol for Automobiles.

The majority of motor cars are now
driven by petroleum, but French en-
gineer recommends the use OF alcohol
instead of 1t, and motors are being
altered so as to consume it. There is

The rri-sta,e Band Convention.

The Tri-State Band association, in
Guiding Michigan, Ohio and Indiana,
held their annual convention in De-
troit on Aug. 10th and 18th. Nearly
10 bands from the above states and
Ontario made music galore while in the
city. 1t was a big event for Detroit,
and in addition to the music makers
the printers from all over the U. 5.
were there, the florists were there, and
many visitors from far and near were
there. The bands gave concerts at the
various parks about the city on the
afternoon and evening of the first day,
and on the second day occurred the
parade, in which all the bands unitedly
played familiar airs, making noise
enough to be heard for miles. After
the parade the balance of the day was
spent at Belle Isle park, where thou
sands listened to fine musical pro-
gram.

PETTINESS PERSONIFIED.

For childish petulance and petty ways
our morning contemporary is in a class
by itself. Its highest conception of
journalism is to vent the spleen of its
proprietor and turn political flip-flops

men as anarchists and criminals one
day and next day it tries to work upon
the feelings of streetcar men because
one of them implored the Tribune to
urge the vestibuling of the cars
Is our neighbor trying to agitate a
streetcar strike in order to show its
new born love for labor? Is it trying
10 arouse the prejudice of workingmen
against their employer simply because
that employer has incurred the dislike
of p. II. Lannan and his little clique?
Is that the Tribune's latest move in the
interest of the men it would denounce
as murderers, blatherskites and dyna-
miters the minute they struck?
What the Tribune needs is a vestibule
in front Of its den. 1t doesn't seem
to know enough to get in out of the

UNFAIR AND UNFEELiNG.

There are one or two papers in Utah
and be it said to the credit of the
state there are not more that cast re-
Elections upon the wives and widowed
mothers of volunteers who want their
loved ones home again.
The Manti Messenger is one of these.
Secure in the fastness of his mountain
home, the Sanpete editor has little
sympathy for the mother who has de-
veloped wasting disease since she
watched her soldier boy march away
to do battle with Spain. There are a
few people in this western country, it
seems, who care not how many of their
neighbors are impressed into service
after their terms of enlistment expire,
who care not how much death and dis
ease are braved-so long as some one
else faces the danger.
But most people are so constituted
that they would believe the boys and
their parents-the real heroes of the
war-rather than interpret the indiffer-
ence of a VIGOROUSLY corrupt admins
tration to be the highest form of pat
riotism.
When the Manti Messenger shows as
much consideration for the fathers,
mothers, wives and sisters of Utah and
the country, as it does for the politi-
clans of the Hanna-Alger stripe, it will
be nearer than it is to the constitution
and the hearts of the people.

EXTEND AN INVITATION.

Utah will extend cordial welcome &c
the hero of Santiago bay should he visit
the state in his tour of the west.
Rear Admiral Schley is travelling for
rest and recreation on land, after a
long and distinguished career at sea,
which reached its climax in the personal
direction of the fleet which destroyed
the Spanish armada of Santiago on the
3rd of last July.
AS a hero, as a fighter, as a typical
American naval officer fit to rank with
Farragut, Dewey and Decatur, Win
field Scott Schley will live in the CRATE
ful hearts of the American people.
Green-eyed monsters of political fav-
oritism Will never forgive Schley for
being in command on that eventful day
when the backbone of Spanish power
was broken; they will never cease TO nag
at HIM and write magazine articles to
give to another the glory that
he steamed through shot and
shell to gain, not for himself,
but for his country, not for his
flagship. which bore the brunt of
battle, but for all who took part in the
engagement, since, as he said, there
was glory enough to go round
Winfield Scott Schley, the hero of
Santiago. is all the dearer to the Amer
lean public because of the petty perse-
cutions to which he has been subjected
by jealous rival and an INSCRIPTIONS
administration.
We hope that the great rear admiral
will find time to spend the day in Salt
Lake City next Sunday. At present he
is in Omaha visiting a relative. He
will probably stop off in Denver, and
may be prevailed upon to visit this
city.
1t would be well and proper to organ
lie for his reception and entertainment,
and arrange to have him formally in
vited to partake of the hospitality of
generous, patriotic Utah.

SCARLET FEVER GERMS.

In view of the prevalence of scarlet
fever in this city at the present time,
people generally are interested in
knowing the cause and the symptoms OF
| the malady-the treatment should be
left entirely to the physician, as home
doctoring is apt to bring distressing re-
suits
Prominent New York physicians have
made some experiments and recorded
of the last volume of the report of the
medical officer to the local government
board. This report is reviewed by the
Hospital Magazine as follows:
It is first pointed out that the strep-
tococcuS conglomeratuS of Kurth is
identical with the streptococcus scar
letinae which DR.. Klein some years ago
isolated from the blood of acute cases
of scarlet fever, and also from the Ill
cerations on the teats and udders of
certain COWS, the milk of which had
been convicted of disseminating scarlet
fever. 1t is stated that Kurth'S conten-
ton that this streptococcuS occurs con-
stantly in the throat discharge of cases
of acute scarlet fever, has now, ias the
result of a considerable number of OBJ
SerVationS, been fully confirmed, and
that its presence in the acutely in
famed throat of the human subject
may be regarded as denoting scarlet
fever just in the same way as under
corresponding throat conditions the
diphtheria bacillus is accepted as dag
nostic of diphtheria.
The fact that scarlet fever is thus
authoritatively placed on the same
footing as diphtheria, so far as con-
Germs meteorological diagnosis. is, of
course, matter of great interest. but
perhaps even more so is the fact that.
as is the case with diphtheria, the mi
crobe can be discovered in the conva-
descent for a varying. and, in some
cases, for a very considerable period
1t appears, according to DR.. Klein's in
VeStigations. that the Streptococcus
scarletinae, which is always present in
the throat secretion of persons acutely
i'll of scarlet fever is even in the
later stage of this malady, and after
has been fully estab- |
lished, apt to be found in the Threats
of patients and sometimes in their ma
sal discharges, if the latter be present |
Cases are mentioned in which il was /
found at intervals of six and nine weeks |
from the date of the at
tack. and this even after the microbe |
had seemed to be absent from the secre- |
tions for time. Clearly this is a mat
ter of considerable Importance in rela-
ton to the question of when a patient |
is to be considered free from infec-
zion

HOW DIFFERENT!

The labor organization at Seattle
passed resolutions the other day similar
to those passed by the miners fedora
ton in this city. They deprecated the
crimes committed at Wardner, but con-
demned the state and federal officials
for abrogating the civil law to place in
nocent men in prison and drive union
laborers from the mines.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. unlike
the local Republican organ, credits the
authors of those resolutions with hon
esty of purpose. 1t says:
Every citizen will Join the Western Ger

arrest of innocent men ana against pun
iShing them by refusing them permission

our local contemporary denounced
every member of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, every delegate to their
convention, every official of the organi-
cation as a principal or an accessory to
crime.
And it is small enough when con-
fronted with the uncontrovertable evil
dence of its infamy 10 begin a quarrel
with the proofreader and try to change
the subject.

AN UNANSWERED QUERY.

One of our state exchanges-it is
published in Manti, by the way-says
that The Herald. which published a
news story concerning George Q. Can

church.
1t evidently clings to its old delusion
that Mr.. Cannon is the church. Nor
can il see any difference between
printing a matter of news. that the
Associated Press handled all over the
United States, and expressing the opin-

two weeks in the year that the Nor

indicates the calibre of the exchange in

A Wrecked Romance.

cleveland Plain DealerO
A certain professional man who lives
on a fashionable East End street has
a good deal of wasted romance in his
makeup.
Not long ago his domestic establish
ment included a servant maid who was
very hard of hearing. The professional
man was sure there was some strange
mystery about her, and this belief re-
| ceived strong confirmation when she
suddenly disappeared with two days
pay still due her.
she go?
Not long after the disappearance a
man came around, and, claiming to be
her brother, took her clothes. But the
| professional man had serious doubts
abount the regularity of this proceed
| ing. 1t looked like part of the general
mystery.
One morning his wife suggested that
he amuse himself for a half hour or so
before breakfast by cleaning out the
furnace.
He went at it with considerable vim.
The girl had left it in a badly choked
condition. He brought to light bottle
or two, empty, an ancient corset, some
Sardine boxes, a portion of a set of
teeth, and then, mixed in with lot of
cinders, choice collection of large
bones.
Had he stumbled on the solution of
the disappearance mystery?
He shuddered at the thought.
Then he put the bones carefully
aside, and if he had known a little more
about anatomy would have labeled
them.
He hated to say anything about it to
his wife. and so he went downtown and
after telling several of his friends,
asked their advice.
One said he ought to notify the coro-
ner, another suggested the detective
department, a third mentioned the san
itary policemen, and the last man said
if it was his case he'd call a garbage
cart.
So the romantic man went home re-
solved to fall back on the advice of mis-
wife.
He went down celler to get his evil
dence, and 10, the basket was gone.
Did you see some bones down here?"
he called to his wife.
Yes she said. II gave them to the !
dog
ITO the dog?" he gasped. as he
bounded up the stairs. Don't you |
known those may have been poor Mag |
gie'S bones, you-you cannibal?"
Nonsense" said his wife They were !
the dogs bones. Maggie had habit of :
snatching them away from him and /
throwing them in the furnace. They /
were all beef bones
The professional man looked at her
blankly. His mysterious romance was
wrecked.
"Well, anyhow" he muttered. as he
turned away, I'm ahead those two
days pay"
And all that his friends have to do
when they want to rifle" him is to say

HE HAD EARNED 1T.

Governor Wells proposes to issue the
commission of lieutenant he originally
intended to bestow upon Sergeant Ford
Fisher. The young hero's untimely
death on the field of battle put an end
to the governors calculations. and
made it impossible to acquaint poor
Fisher with the love and appreciation
Of the people, the state and it's chief
executive for his gallantry and worth,
but there is still a chance to do honor
to his memory and pay the tribute he
had earned.
His promotion was already assured.
Had he lived he would have come out
of the war lieutenant, or better. And
so we feel that this contemplated action
of his excellency will meet with the
general and unquestioned approval of
the people of Utah.
Tt will injure no one. It will be a
graceful thing to do.

PEFFER'S RECEPTION.

Republican organs used to have a
great deal 70 say about Senator PETER

and all that sort of thing. But that
was when the senator was Populist
Now that he has renowned Populism
ne is a statesman, an orator and a
scholar, the hayseeds have fallen from
his whiskers and the wheels from his
head, and there is nothing too good for
PETER any more.
The Kansas City Star has been one
of his most merciless opponents and
critics, but claims that his statement
of the reasons Why he returns to the
Republican party" are just about as
readable and statesmanlike as things
are written these days. The Star fondly
hopes that PETERS swing-over will
cause a good many other ex-Republic-
an Populists in Kansas to return to the
old fold" 1t believes in everything that
appears to weaken the cause of bimet-
allism.
But in another editorial in the same
issue the Star deplores PETERS return
TO the Republican party of ten years
ago rather than the one of today. It
says:
In declaring that he is a protectionist,
ex-senator PETER swings out of the
current OF public thought of the times,
which is plainly in the direction of free
trade. Republicans everywhere are
weakening on that issue-except per-
haps those who are in closest touch
with Mckinley. The country has out
