A New pIagnostic Sign of Measles.

Under the above heading Df. Henry Koplik of New York described recent ly in the Medical Record a phenomenon which he considers very valuable sign in the very early stages of meas les. It consists of an eruption which appears on the mucous membrane lin ing the cheeks and lips. It can be seen only in very strong daylight fall ing from a window direct on the mue- ous membrane. It is then necessary to avert the mucous membrane covering the lips and cheeks, either with the fin gers or by means of spatula. One can then see by close study the infinit- esimaIly minute bluish-white speeks on reddish punetate area in begin ming measles, and on a more difusely reddened background in advanced cases, which are absolutely character istic of measles.

FLooeiNG BY ELECTRICITY.
France Has a Substitute for the British
 Cat O. Nine Tails

France Has 8 Substitute for the British
 Cat O. Nine Tails.
 Some of the French newspapers have been telling about the new method of whipping men which had just been introduced experimentally into some of the penitentiaries and colonies of France. The instrument bears the pleasing name of sthe electric cat, and fElectrieian expresses the scientific opinion that it is a great improvement upon the Russian knout and the cat O nine tails. which, it says, still unfof- tunately figures in many penal colo nfes and in the penitentiaries of so- called civilized states The method of this new whipping machine is very simple and business-like. The culprit who has been sentenced to undergo the lash is tied to a post in the usual man. her. Behind him is a wheel driven by an electric motor. which goes round with velocity that is unpleasant for the victim. The velocity may be regu- lated, however. according to the sever ity of the trouncing to be admins tered. Attached to one of the spokes is a whip which swings around the circle and the culprit is placed at such an angle with reference to the instru- ment of fagellation that every time it comes around it nips him squarely on the back. It is claimed for the new invention that it dispenses justice im- partially and equally. It has no ani- mus against the prisoner, it's blows are given with equal intensity, and it bet ter fulflls the idea of even-handed justice than manual flogging, which is likely to distribute penalties very un- evenly.-PhiIadelph Times.

Skeletons of Dervish es.

In London just at present the fad- .dists and the curio collectors are wing with one another for the possession ot skeletons of dervishes that have been brought back from the bloody plains before omdurman. Some 150 to 200 dervish skeletons are on the London market; and experts in bones declare that their superiority over the average skeletons of commerce will cause no little stir in anatomical circles.

Thrown From a BUGGY.

While driving horse to the city on
Saturday evening, Mrs. Alex. Bevisr was
thrown out OF the buggy and suffered
severe injuries. Tho horse in some way
became frightened and az Mrs. Bevier
could not control him he ran away. Tho
scene OF tho accident was directly in
front Of the Rundsll place, on tho Indian
school road. She was picked up in an
unconscious condition by Mr.. and Mrs
Rundsll and taken to their house, whore
she was given the best Of attention until
physician could be summoned. Sun
day morning she was taken on stretcher

to Mrs. Bevier. A. her husband has been
sick with rheumatism for the past six
months to such an extent that he has

the fact that the population Of

with a whole lot of people whether
the old water even now is not bet

is thing of the past, but it is to
show how foolish people who
will disturb themselves to the
swords point and then obtain
nothing, can go, that the above is
quoted. The point to be evolved
from the above is that this city
needs to be governed by an entire
ly new set of people. The town
has gotten beyond that stage where
any old sort of a man will answer
as councilman. The same people
have been in power for years and
while they have doubtless done as
well as they knew, the town needs
other and newer blood men with
more ideas than one and who have
no political strifes to settle and look
forward to nothing except the up>
building Of the city. There are
plenty Of such young men in the
city and it is to be hoped they can
be elected in the forthcoming

The strike of the railway tele>
graphers is only the beginning Of
labor troubles and disagreements.
However, labor has very little call
on sympathy from the millions who
voted for Bryan. 1t had the grand>
est opportunity to right its wrongs
at the ballot, but it voted for the
plutocrats and it is now receiving
its reward. The republican party
stood for trusts, for great combina>
tions of capital and against organ,

in the face OF its knowledge, in
spite of what it might expect from
aggregated capital, it voted with it
and it must now take the medicine

The most potential argument. in
our mind, favorable to the culture
OF beets is that it is a cash crop.
There is little room for speculation,
for failure or for many Of the ills to
which other crops are subjected.
When the crop is marketed, cash is
returned. There is great satisfac-
ton in raising a crop which de-
mands spot cash when marketed.
To market a crop and then brook
delay upon receipts and these upon
arrival disappointing, is annoying
and uncertain. To raise a crop
which has a market value at once,
is paid in cash and is almost sure
crop every year of its planting, is
beyond question crop which
should be attractive, even if not Of
fering such large returns as fruits
and vegetables. No farmer or fruit
grower who is active and ambiti>
Gus, but can plant and harvest some
beets. He can raise beets as cash
proposition, where he might not
touch them, were they to run the
gauntlet Of problematical price or
to be used as forage or for trade.
In all business transactions cash is
potent and we expect to see the
day in the Grand valley when an
entire dependence will be placed
upon the beet crop, to produce
cash returns, reliable and never
failing.

spring campaign.

Without doubt little needed leg,
islation will be accomplished the
present term of the legislature, and
yet number Of most important
questions should have legislative
action. Since the national irrigation
congress met in Chicago the Den>
yer press has been full of the op>
portunities for congressional legis-
lation for the reclamation Of arid
lands and for the construction of
mammoth reservoirs for storage
purposes. All the time they have
failed to note what could be done
here in the state. Here at Mont>
rose in the construction of a tun-
mel by convict labor, by which the
waters of the Gunnison could pour
upon great bodies of the choicest
land on earth, or in the construc-
ton Of the long hoped for High
Line Ditch in the Grand valley,
two possibilities, which having leg
islative action would reclaim the
most beautiful and fertile lands in
America, these are overlooked in
talking OF problematical schemes in
national irrigation. The western
slope of Colorado is usually forgot
ten in the demands of the country
on the eastern slope and it is doubts
full if any hayseed legislator could
be gotten to acknowledge that there
is any subject in the coming legis-
lative session quite SO important as
the election Of United States sens
ator Practical legislation is hard
to secure against the pet measures
OF nearly every member. Convict
labor would readily furnish abun>
dant means for the construction of
these canals, which might be owns
ed by the state and their revenues
soon pay all expenses incurred. 1t
is to be hoped that the Denver
press will take up these measures
for the good of the western slope.

What Does This Mean /?

A perusal of the history of rail
way transactions during the past
fosr years shows US this period
has been the most disastrous, from
financial standpoint, of any other
of the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devel-
opment or improvement of rail
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable in
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
Improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and scr
vice. And the public has been a
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness Of the roads.
Ono of the most notable oasss
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road. which seems
to have forged right ahead with
its improvements and has exhibit
ted an unrelenting determination
to give the public the best pos
sibls facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how well this
corporation has succeeded in it's
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret of this
success il obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to a generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better its IA
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been Of mutual and re-
eiprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought q handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts to servo the people

contest, arguments over the admissi-

it's admission comprised the work Of
the contesting boards and the last
mentioned arguments were not con-
cluded when an adjournment was
taken.
The democratic attorneys made a de-
termined fight against the admission
of the counter claim, saying that it
covered so much ground and so many
different counties in the state, that it
would be impossible for them to pre-.
pare evidence to controvert it inside
of three months. After it had been
permitted they declared they would
make no attempt to offset the allega-
tions because of the physical impossi-
bility Of bringing TO Frankfort the
