TO TREAT LoCkJAW.
Pittsburs Medical Man Be-
lIeves He Has Made an Inn
portant Discovery.

Pittsburg, Dec. 10. DIR. A. Leteve,
Of the c. L. Magee pathological depart
ment of Mercy hospital, has discovered
what has every indication of being a
successful serum treatment for lock-
jaw. After a year of experimenting
on lower animals the doctor within the
last three weeks had the opportunity
of testing his theory on human sub
jects, one a middle-aged man, a mid
dle-aged woman and boy 10 years OF
age. According to his treatment, when
these patients were first given the in
jections of the serum they were vioi
lent, being In spasms and commissions.
The treatment in five or six days re-
stored them to their former health.
DR.. Leteve does not claim that the
treatment will cure every case, but
believes that the problem OF treating
tetanus successfully has been solved.

East Liverpool Man'sRe-

THREE YEARS. MISERY
Finally Relieved in q Singular
Manner.-Rhe eumatism Grip.
pied Him So That He Was
Nearly Helpless.

]. B. Williams, of East Liverpool,
whose attention had been called by a
Stark county gentleman to the fact
that the Canton papers stated ne had
been cured of rheumatism by DR.. q.
F. Larkins, who is now located in
Canton, sends the following testimon-
ial which he desires published:
For tho benefit of those who are
afflicted with rheumatism, wish to
state that the cure Of my rheumatism
as reported by DR.. Larkins in the
Stark county papers is true.
Eight years ago became afflicted
with rheumatism in my left kneo and
year after year, suffered constantly
and at times intensely. My left limb
could not be Strengthened, and was de-
formed. The only rest l could get at
night was by lying on my back with
comforts folded under my knee. Thus
l dragged out three years OF miser-
able life. l tried almost everything
could hear Of and employed many diff
ferent doctors. Liniments and medi-
cines of all descriptions were used
until became completely dishearten-
ed and discouraged. Finally DR.. Lar
kins located in this city and l began
to hear Of his remarkable cures BY
Neuropathy, For time paid but
little attention to 1t, but as began to
hear of cure after cure OF cases even
worse than mine, and az these cases,
were located In this city, began to
investigate. The result Of these in
vesttgations proved to me that DIR. Lar.
kins must certainly have struck the
key note In tho treatment Of rheuma-
tism. employed him, and shall never
cease to be thankful that did so. The
results were far beyond my most earn-
est hopes. / took ser eral treatments
before could see much difference;
then the swelling begcn to subside,
the pain vanished, and the crooked
and deforned limb gradually assumed
Its proper shape. The muscles seemed
to stretch out to thcir proper length;
and to bc brief. soon got perfectly
well. This was Ave years ago, and
my rheumatism has never returned.
1T is well known In East Liverpool
that nearly all OF D.. Larliins's cures
have proven permanent. and II he
cures as mary difficult cases OF diseases
in Canton as he did in East Liverpool,
the people of Canton will have reason
to be glad TINT no located among
them" tSa

Eight Hours For the Miner.

President John Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers, declared al
Scranton yesterday that the eight-houl
day for the miner would be the issue
when it came to making scales fol
next year.
The man who digs for the black dia.
monds in the bowels of the earth
in the foul air, the dust and the CRIME,
risking his life among the treacherous
gases and crumbling roofs, is one of
the poorest paid of the worlds toilers.
He gives the world it's heat and its
power, and the world in return gives
him miserable pittance for his labor.
God bless the poor miner. The poor
est paid of organized workers, the
most faithful unionist of them all.
II any one deserves the shorter work
day, 1t is he.

OFFICIALS WILL NOT
SHOULDER BLAME
Akron Com minIssioners Refuse
to Acknowledge Their Respon-
sibiiity for City's Bankruptcy.

From STAFF Correspondent.
Akron, O., Dec. 11.-In the fight that
is being made here for new form Of
government, the fight is primarily
against the city commissioners of law.
The city is s1s7,OO in debt. and has
been enjoined from selling more bonds,
by recent decision of Judge Nye.
The commissioners. for their part,
deny that they are altogether to blame
for, this state of affairs, and point back
to the fact that the riot of August,
1900, cost the city $4,000 in damages
and trials. They also point to the fact
that during their administration they
have erected two new fire stations and
equipped them at a cost of about
100000.
There Is a strong feeling here
against the commissioners, and the
move that was started at a mass meet
ing last night is popular one.
''ayor William B. Doyle is respon-
sible for 1t in fulfillment of a promise
made by him before election, when he
said he would give the city new and
better government. If elected.

A Case For Legislation.

One of the subjects that might be
acted upon with profit by the new gen.
eral assembly, when it NETS in Col
umbus, Is the elimination of the dead
ly coal stove in railroad coaches.
There have been innumerable exam
pies of the danger that turks in the
stove in passenger car in the history
of Ohio railroad wrecks in the past
few years. Yet the statute still re-
mains vague and indefinite-a monu-
mental example of legislation that is
not meant to legislate, of prohibition
meant only for the consumption of the
constituents of the legislators who
were responsible for the passage of the
act.
Under the present law, it is impos-
sible for the attorney general to COM
pei any railroad to abolish the stoves
and equip the passenger coaches with
steam for heating. There is only one
act on the subject. 1t reads:
Section 1851. Each railroad COM
pany in this state SHALL. when neces-
sary to heat any of its cars for car
rying passengers, mail, baggage or
express matter, do so by a stove heat
er so constructed and protected as to
most effectually guard the passengers
against danger by fire in case of ac-
cident by collision, or the cars being
overturned or thrown from the track
and 1t shall be unlawful for any such
company to permit any other person OF
corporation to use cars carrying pas
sengers, baggage OF express over Its
road unless the heating apparatus
thereof shall conform to the require
ments of this statute.
The legislature might amend that
act so as to prove effective. 1t might
abolish the stove altogether. But the
probabilities are it will not The rail-
road lobby will be present in Colum-
bus next January, as in previous
years.

1t is absolutely necessary for the
Democrats to. stick to state issues in
Ohio. There Is to be no aid from the
outside. Already the minority In con-
gress is squabbling. 1t didn't succeed
In holding a preliminary caucus for
the purpose Of nominating candidate
for speaker that hadn't the elightest
chance of being elected, without having
several windy gentlemen from the west
on their hind fegs braying at several
intolerant gentlemen from the east.
and several misguided men from the
south telling about the shortcomings
of several self-satisfied gentlemen from
the north. History that will accrue to
the success of the Democratic party
will not be made by minority in con-
gress that starts out after that fash
ion.
But the very occasion for the present
quarrel among Ohio Republican lead
ers is the danger that menaces the
people of the state. There are great
questions to come up, and particular
corporations want their particular
friends in. There Is the taxation ques-
ton to defeat, and somebody wants the
glory and the dollars for helping to do
1t. Then there are quite number OF
canals to steal, and some steam rail-
roads are warning with electric rail-
roads for the possession Of this prop
erty Of the people. That has some-
thing to do with the present outbreak.
1t is not split In the party. 1t Is
scramble for spoils, and whatever
comes Of 1t, no good will come to the
people from it. 1t is interesting, but
not vital.

HARD ON THE ENGINES.
Sudden Freight Rush Uses Up
Equipment--Why Akron Need
ed Coal Badly.

According to local railroad men,
more coal was shipped into Akron
the first three days of the week than
on any days previously for a long
time.
Last week East Ohio Gas company
notified Akron manufacturers that they
would have to cease using gas in their
boilers for the winter, and the result
was that many of them were caught
without coal. Accordingly they sent
rush orders for coal, and the coal car
rying roads which enter the city were
kept busy bringing 1t in. The Valley
probably handled the most coal. haul
ing in $50 cars during the three days.
This rush of business has been a
bad thing for the railroads in one
respect" remarked a local railroad
man. For months the rush has been
so great that every engine that could
be used was pressed into service, and
none of them have been repaired thor
oughly since, and the result is that
all of them are beginning to give out
at the same time.
"The life of an engine is not very
long at the best, even when it is re-
paired thoroughly every little while,
but when they are merely patched UP
when they get out Of shape, and then
sent out again, 1t does not take long
to get them clear out of shape, and
that is just the condition of many OF
them at the present time.
1T is not any one road in particular
that suffers, but all Of the roads are
alike. The condition Of the motive
department Of the majority of the
roads is something frightful.

of Engineer Daniel Rice and Fire.
man Joseph CHASER, both OF Canton,
The engine had kicked 25 empty cars
in on the switch, which has steep
grade. 1t was supposed that the brakes
were set sufficiently to hold the cars
on the siding. The engine went back
upon the main track to shift 20 load
ed cars, and the empty cars on the
heavy grade came rushing down the
siding. They caught the engine and
hurled 1t and the tender over the
bank into the ditch and piled up a
number Of cars. The engineer escaped
with badly sprained ankle, but Fre-
man Glasses is thought to have been
seriously, perhaps fatally hurt, having
sustained injuries about the head.
AS soon as possible, the men were
taken to the Aultman hospital ut Can
ton.
The loss to the company will be

and number of cars wrecked.
