DR.. Gaylord Of Buffalo announces that he
has discovered the organism or germ Of
cancer and Is now to set about discovering
a remedy to cure the disease. This follows
the usual course of modern bacteriology.
which works from effect to cause and thence
to cure. The cancer germ has been among
the most stubborn of all the bacterial roots
Of disease. Announcements of its discov-
cry have been made from time to time for
several years, but without being followed by
sufficient proof to warrant general belief.
The present declaration from Buffalo may
meet the fate of its predecessors, although
1t is made with a conservatism Of statement
and an abundance of references to warrant
its provisional acceptance. There is less
need for caution in such case than though
the alleged discovery were of the long
sought cure, which would demand the most
exact proofs to lead the often fooled public
to accept 1t as truth.

Millinery,

When the hats are gaily blooming in the
window by the street
1t Is spring;
When the lassie when she sees one signs in
ecstasy complete.
Lovely thing"
Oh. It's then you lose your terror OF the
skies so dark and gray,
And you listen for the laughter that will
drive dull care away.
For you know that gentle May is drawing
near with hurrying feet,
When the hats are gaily blooming In the
window by the street.
Somewhere, no doubt, the wild flower is
preparing to make glad
All the scene,
And we'll view the Weakening landscape. so
neglected once. and sad,
All serene.
But for the somber city man, with business
cares grown grave.
There spring no gentle violets to greet him
from the pave;
Yet he has convincing evidence Of winters
swift retreat
When hats are gaily blooming in the win
dow by the street.

School Consolidation.
From the Minneapolis Times.

The trust idea has spread to the school
houses, and school consolidation in country
districts is gaining ground. There are now
about fifty townships in Iowa where pupils
are transported to central schools at the
public expense. In some places the system
has been working for five years In some
other districts township high schools have
been established. This is comparatively
new experiment. but 1t has worked so per
fectly In the majority OF cases that 1t will
doubtless become general in time. It seer
tafnly stands for decrease In school ex-
penses, and as 1t usually advances the time
for introduction Of graded methods 1t would
seem to be an advantage from the point OF
instruction. but the little red schoolhouse
and the country school teacher will disap-
pear from local fact and fiction.

Russia continues to explain about the
Manchurian treaty, but in the language of
Byron. one could wish she would explain
her explanations. They do not explain
themselves. The text of the treaty is still
held back, and legitimate speculation has
invested the subject with a good deal Of
mystery. Complaint was made in parlla-
ment the other day about Russia's reserve
and the opinion very frankly expressed that
If she would come forward with all the
facts and full ayowal of her purposes and
expectations the situation would be greatly
simplifed for everybody. And so it would.
The latest explanation characterizes the
treaty as a modus vivendi. That is about
as clear as mud. That still leaves things
in very Objectionable shape for all the
other powers. China included. Why should
Russia remain in Manchuria after matters
have been arranged between China and the
powers at Pekin? When Chinese authority
is again recognized by the powers, and SO
much trust Is placed in Chinas ability to
keep order that the powers skeletonize their
forces at the capital, why should Russia
remain on the ground anywhere with
authority greater than Chinas?
More than this. Would not Russia's pres
ence in such circumstances be provocative
of trouble? Would it not be certain source
of irritation? Would not the masses in
Manchuria be constantly teasing them
selves with the question, ''Why do these
fellows remain? Why have they not gone
away with the others? Why should the
Russian flag be flying in China when all of
the other foreign flags have been lowered?"
The answer would be prompt and often
siye. The people of Manchuria would dis
cover that they were under the ban of a
special distrust. While their brethren in
the other provinces had cleared themselves
were still considered dangerous and I'M
worthy. and here was a foreign guard to
see, by force, if necessary. that they be-
hayed themselves Would that contribute
to good feeling? Would it not. on the con-
trary, bring about the very situation that
would give excuse for the prolongation of
Russias stay? Would the Russian flag.
kept flying in that way, ever come down?
Russia must see that faith in her fair
ness in this matter is not strong anywhere.
China is genuinely alarmed, and hopes to be
saved from the terms of the treaty. The
other powers have made their dissent en-
tirely plain. Can Russia afford to ignore
these things? If she does. and carries her
point will not the situation In the east be
graver than ever? China In eruption can
be handled with no great difficulty But
Russia. with ore paw on Manchuria and
the other appearing to descend on Corea,
would unsettle everything and make a
clash imminent at any time.

Germany sufficient to cause even the most
gloomy observer to fear for the domestic
peace of the empire. There Is the usual
amount of opposition to the government 8
policies among the extremists of the reich
stag, but the programs are adopted regu-
larry. the budgets are voted, the emperor's
ideas are executed. without stimulating the
radicals to more than noisy demonstrations
The philosophical German agitator finds
ample opportunity to vent his resentment
in speech. Yet when a crash comes, II
ever, it will probably be thoroughly de-
structive. There is likely to be no half
hearted revolutionary enterprise In Ger
many.
There is nothing to indicate that an in
surrection is dreamed of by the EXTREMIST
radicals. The country is prosperous and
happy. The German manufacturers are
widening the market at a rate to cause
even the successful American exporter
serious concern. There is no distress be-
yond that always present in any assem-
blage of human beings. The people are
not being ground to the earth to pay the
bills of an extravagant ruler. The mill
tary burden is being carried as easily now
as ever before.
William was probably in one of his ex-
uberant moods the other day, his mind

Morbid Souvenir Hunters.
From the Boston Herald.

Souvenir hunters got into the house at
Coldbrook Springs where a mother killed
her six children, and carried away pairs
of childrens shoes, toys and even the
fathers engineers license which hung on
the wall. The vandals were finally driven
of and the house boarded up. If there is
anything more heartless and idiotic than
the souvenir hunter who Graves a morbid
reminder of some murderous, melancholy
event, 1t is to be hoped the world may be
kept In ignorance Of the sorry monstrosity.

CAPTURES An OWL.

Just as the Pullman train pulled out
of this station, Tuesday evening, an

flight was marked by hutter and Il
