generous young lover readily offered
his own full veins to replenish and en-
rich the thin and impoverished circu-
latfon Of his future father-in-law.
The experiment was brilliant sue
cess even beyond the surgeons SAN
guine expectations. In an incredibly
short space of time, the aged Professor
began to show Improvement from the
several operations OF TRANSMISSION. and
in few weeks he was stronger, young
er and more sprightly than he had
ever been before.
Another remarkable change also re-
suited. From housekeeping, thought
full old man of quiet dignity the Pro-
lessor became as playful as a kitten.
He was somewhat given TO attempts
at ragtime song ana dance, now and
then, and, moreover. he took TO going
out at all sorts of hours. frequently I'M
reasonable ones, and he developed a
fancy for jewelry, of which he often
brought home expensive specimens that
would have cost far more money than
his modest income could have consist
emily permitted. Then, one day, like
a clap of thunder from clear sky. or
the call of a keno erieT from closet
OF Righteousness, the Professor was de-
teeted in the act OF Qurl0ining a dia-
mond from a tray loaded with those
gems that were being examined in a
great jewelry establishment by pros
pective purchaser.
The owner OF superb diamond is not
a respecter of persons. The Professor
was arrested but was Immediately bail
ed by his surgeon who was quite a
wealthy man, and associated with the
doctor on the bail-bond were several
other highly respected and fore-handed
neighbors.
The shock of modification, the shame
of it all, and the grief OF Dorothy, was
too much for the aged Professor and he
was stricken with a paralytic stroke
from which he never rallied.
Two weeks later little procession
followed the ill-starred old professor
student to his grave, and TO Dorothy the
blow, with all its untoward circum-
stances, was terrible, though, in time,
the surgeon, who had been the devoted
friend of her father and herself. all her
life, he having, in fact, accouehed her,
succeeded in comforting the gentle or
phan and in alternating the pain of the
blow, as to the shame OF it, by assuring
her that her poor old father had COM
mitted seeming crime in moment of
alteration as he was no more respons-
ible for it than if he had been utterly
insane.
Dorothy and Charles have been sew
eral years married. He is, in many
ways, changed man. Since the Incl
dent of the TRANSMISSION his mania is
gone and he is an exemplary citizen in
all the walks of life, though notably
quiet and peculiarly reserved. But he
has never mentioned, even to Dorothy,
or the doctor, what he lost, nor what
he gained by the operation of transfu-
sion. There is no need for it. and for
his generous part in the experiment he
has ever taken his concentrations with
becoming modesty.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir: | read suggestion Of Mayor
Sweeney in the Register in behalf Of
Wheeling creek, to erect dam with
gates for the purpose of washing out
the creek in summer time, to prevent
the bad smell. Something ought to be
done IN this matter, but could dam
OF this kind stand the pressure of the
water and ice and rubbish. and would
il not overflow the land above the
dam when the creek is up to its banks
full of ice and driftwood? For example.
a few years ago at the cid stone bridge
on Main street.
Something ought to be done 1t is
getting worse from year to year.
Building up Pleasant Valley and along
the National road, makes it still,
worse. l would suggest that Mayor
Sweeney take time and come out. and
view the creek and see what can be
done in the matter From 1852 to 1860
the creek at Fulton had plenty of wat
er, and especially along the walls of
the slaughter houses. and when. by O
freshet, the creek had left any rubbish
or stone on or near the wall it was
promptly removed by the owner. but
this work has, during and since the
Civil War, stopped.
Even II a dam would be erected the
water course of the creek would have
TO be Strengthened from the mouth OF
the creek up to Fulton. as 1t was be-
fore. The many different obstacles
have turned the water and made many
gravel banks, and. as l have said be-
fore, something ought to be done, and
you may be assured that the Fulton
people, one and all, wish to have this
evil remedied.

s,E7IocRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
MAJon NORTON ONCE MORE.

In his fifth contribution to the ephe-
neral literature OF the current political
campaign, Major Norton failing to make
good any of his original assertions or
ito produce evidence in justification OF
his structures upon a few or many of
Ibis fellow citizens, according to the in
stcrEretation TO be placed upon his re-
marks. turns aside from his first
HjpIoposition that the Fikpinos are ''reb-
els, and that 10 encourage them, SYM
epzthize with them or wish them well.
In their efforts for freedom and indie
nendenpe, is treason against the
uAitcd States, deserving of summary
punishment, to take up Constitution
al questionable right of the admins
Nation to do as it has done as regards
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
In discussing the matter incidentally
d few days ago the Register cited Major
Norton to a few authorities, among
them being Senator George F. Hoar,
Senator Chauncey Depew, General Otis,
Admiral Dewey, and. lastly, to the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the
/ United States in 19 Howard.
Major Norton conveniently ignores
All OF these citations but the last, and
upon that matter quotes in extenso
from the New York Sun to show: a.
khat the decision in question was the
Famous bred Scott case; GU that it was
decision in favor of slavery, and 60
hat it has since been upset That is the
gist Of the Suns argument, which
Major Norton uses in lieu of other evil
lence of his own. if he has any, and he
closes by saying that the decision in
The bred Scott case was shot to death
by the loyal and liberty-loving soldiers
of the United States"
About that there is abundant room
Tor discussion, were it worth the time,
but the Majors remark suggests the
thought that, under the guidance of the
present administration, American sol
oilers are being used in the despicable
work Of shooting the Constitution Of
tho United States to death, and In
building up an unrepublican govern
ment, totally and wholly ct variance

Roosevelt says the Constitution has
not followed the flag into Indian Ter
ritory. The Governor of New York is
mistaken. The Constitution shields
the citizens in Indian Territory equally
with all others. And the Governor
should not forget that the flag is only
a symbol; the Constitution is the real
thing for Americans to go by. Lose
sight of that little document, and the
flag would not amount to a great deal.
