TREATMENT
A Marked Advantage Noted from the
Course of Treatment.


In the Lancet is published an article
by Professor A. e. Wright of the Army
Medical school. Netley. setting forth in
a synoDtical table all the data collected
up to the present which bear on the re-
suits obtained by anti-typhoid inocula-
ton, which was inaugurated, and has
been carried out, by him during the
last five years.
With regard to the results ii is dem
onstrated that all the statistics if we
except two small series which are shown
to the vitiated by important fallacies.
show that marked advantage was
achieved by incubation. both from the
point Of view of the lessened incidence
of typhoid fever among the inoculatetl
and from the point of view of the les
sened case mortality among the inocu-
lated who subsequently contracted the
disease. This diminution of mortality
among those attacked is shown by oh
serva tons in many different nos,,itais
covering. along with many thcllsand
of cases of uninoculated, several hun
dreds of cases of inoculated) to amount
to a diminution by half in the nortslitv
of typhoid fever. The lessened Incl
dence Of the disease is shown to amount
to a twofold reduction Of the number
of cases inoculated. AS the result of
the diminished mortality, supera dded to
the diminution of incidence. it is shown
that the reduction of mortality Of
typhoid has on the whole BODY of sta
tistics amounted to a fOurfold reduc-
ton. These are important results evil
denced as they are by twenty-Tour sepa-
rate statistics collected by observers ali
over the world and critically sifted as
they have been in the manner Just indi-
Gated. But more important than the
actual results is the prospect that in

Fire House.

Garbarini Bros. are building sub
stantial fire house for housing the
property of jackson Fire Company,
near the bridge at the north end OF
Main street. The structure is 20 feet
wide by % feet deep. 1t is built with
heavy timbers, the main uprights be-
ing 6x6 posts, and the floor of two inch
planks. The bell tower is of steel, 81
feet in height, which is mounted on
the top of the front of the building
When in position the bell will be over
so feet from the ground. 1t is TO be
connected with an electric alarm sys-
tenn, but on different plan from the
old one. In order to turn in an alarm
of fire it will be necessary to turn a
crank like the telephone call bells.
This will require little time, SO that
it is believed that no danger need be
feared Of false alarms by boyish pranks.
The building and its alarm system will
be an important item in the protection
of the town against fire.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Charles Reynolds and J. W. CraiEhead
Severely Beaten.

On Saturday last the saloon of G. d.
Chapman was the scene of a savage at
tack upon Charley Reynolds, the pro-
prietor, in which he was seriously in
jured. ]. W. Craighead, who remon-
strated with the assailant, was also
badly beaten for his overtures for
peace. The attacking party was Frank
Manning, a miner who has been work.
ing at the Oneida and other mines here
abouts. 1t seems that about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon Manning appeared at
the saloon and called for drinks. He
drank FIVE glasses of beer in succession.
After partaking of this amount of liquid
refreshment, he became belligerent,
and started in to clean out the estab-
lishment. There was no battle of
words as a preliminary. Manning,
without warning, struck at Reynolds,
and kept raining blows upon his vic
tim. The assailant is powerful man,
while Reynolds is weakling in COM
parison. Reynolds, after receiving sew
eral blows, ran out of the back door
toward Chapman's dwelling for refuge.
Manning followed, and kept striking
him, knocked him down, stamped on
him and kicked him. He managed to
get up and went toward the house, and
succeeded in mounting the flight of
10 ho
Here he fell exhausted and bleeding
profusely. Manning, not satisfied with
what he had inflicted, still followed
him, and dragged his prostrate form
to the ground. Craighead, whe had
witnessed the affair, expostulated with
the assailant, saying, Don't kill him"
when Manning at once turned upon
him, and struck him two powerful
blows in the face, disfguring him bad
ly. Reynolds was found by Chapman
unconscious, where Manning left him
lying in the yard, in a pool of blood
from his many wounds. 1t was feared
at first that he was seriously injured
internally, as he vomitted blood for
some time. He was not able to get out
at all until Monday. He is still mass
OF bruises about the face and body.
Craighead is also suffering severely
from his injuries. Manning was ar
rested by constable Kay and landed in
Jail. On Monday he was arraigned
before Judge Goldner, and pleaded not
guilty.

An Insurance Controversy.

About 2l years ago L. ]. Fontenrose
had issued to him $4,000 20 year en-
dowment life insurance policy in the
New York Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. Mr.. Fontenrose paid the annual
premium for about dozen years, ag-
gregating S255O, and then applied to
the local agent, E. G. Freeman, now
deceased, for paid up policy for the
amount he had paid in lieu of his $4,000
policy, according to the rules of the
company, as he did not care to con-
tlnue to make the annual payments of
premium. Mr.. Freeman wrote to the
company and soon after advised Mr..
Fontenrose that it was unnecessary to
have new paid up policy issued, but
on his death or at the end of 20 years
the company would pay him the s255O
he had paid in with the accrued earn
ings. Fontenrose was satisfied with
this arrangement and did nothing more
about the matter until the 20 years ex-
pired, which was last June, and he
thereupon made demand for the s255O,
but to his surprise the company refused
to pay because he had failed to actually
have new paid up policy Issued to him.
For nearly year past efforts have
been made on the part of Mr.. Fonten-
rose to compromise the matter, with
out success. Last week the insurance
company brought suit against Fonten-
rose in the United States circuit court
at San Francisco to be released from
all claim made by Fentenrose. VIM.

Supply Power to Stockton.

The Standard Electric Company is
now supplying power from the big
plant at Electra to Stockton and other
valley cities. Last Friday this outside
service was again inaugurated. Two
thousand horse power is being trans
mitted, which is about one-seventh h of
the total power available. The volt
age, however. is to be increased rapid
ly, and it is said that San Francisco,
Oakland and San Jose are to be fur
nished with power by this company
within month. The machinery works
splendidly. A great many people have
visited the plant during the week.
Sunday last Mr.. and Mrs. Almagia, of
San Francisco, and large delegation
from jackson went to see the big
electric dynamos in operation.
