MATTERS POLITICAL.

At this time there is considerable
activity noticeable in political circles,
and candidates are being groomed for
the race. Thus far there have been
no open announcements of candidates
Jealous friends of candidates are let
ting their wants be known. 1t is
hinted that Hon. p T. Mcclure
would not refuse the nomination by
the democrats for float senator
Charley Wells of Cripple Greek also
has his eye on that office and he is
pulling the republican strings to that
end For representative from FIRE.
mont county no one has been openly
mentioned by the democrats, but
among republicans it is known that
James A. Condit longs to have an OPP
portnnity of answering present
when the next roll of the house is
called II is also understood that M.
f.. Lewis would not be averse to ac-
cepting the republican nomination for
lieutenant governor.
This fall the county commissioner
comes to this end of the county and it
is a foregone conclusion that Julius
McCandless' democratic friends will
insist on his denomination. For the
republican end of this office, Hugh
Houston, another pioneer, is being
much talked of by his friends.
These are only hints picked up ON
the streets and as yet it is too early
to predict which way the cat will
jump, but it will soon be time for the
conventions, when all speculations
will be settled In any event may
the best men win.

by a local clergyman, said we'll
known Bostonian, recently. II was at
the close of noted murder trial
which resulted in the conviction of the

that two wrongs never made right"
"At least" said he, II never heard OF

Dictionary stalled at a.

The French government and the
French academy have been on bad
terms for long time, and everybody
knows it, but their last point Of COLI
troyersy is calculated to astonish the
world. 1t is all about the dictionary,
the famous dictionary, which was be-
gun forty years ago and which is still
at the letter "a" One would hardly
expect the subject to rouse lively pas
siOns, but it appears that the govern
ment pays salary to the makers OF
this dictionary. 1t is not very strange
then, If they begin to think that the
time consumed is rather excessive A
deputy has had the audacity to pro-
pose the withdrawal of the salary. 1t
IS easy o understand that he has
brought down all the thunders of the
forty 'Immortals." 1t is true the
amount each Immortal" receives is
not very great; It is calculated that
each gets on an average 1,G00 francs,
which draws from the budget of the
state some $4,000 francs a year. But II
one calculates, at the rate they are go
ing, the long centuries 1t will take to
flnish the work, the deputy argues that
the people will have paid a little dear

The Bubonlo PIagae.

The plague of to-day is the llneal
descendant of that which was cleared
away from London by the great fire. 1t
represents one of many epidemics
which history teaches US devastated
Europe during past ages-pests, these,
abolished by the disapp sarance of dirt
which forms their soil and breeding
place. We know the germ of the
plague. 1t was discovered by Kitasto
in 1894, and independently in the same
year by Yersin, whose protective serum
is used as a preventive
The germ is a somewhat shortened
and rounded bacillus, that fioLrishes at
a temperature approaching that Of the
blood. Apparently the germ does not
multiply by giving off ''spores" or
seedlike bodies, but by simple division
of the parent germs into others. 1t is
easily killed. A temperature Of 212
degrees Fahrenheit destroys it quickly
and acids also act efficiently in this di-
rection. Yersin found the plague germ
living In the soil in affected places. In
the earth it appears to be non-virulent
but placed in another environment say
the animal body, it speedily develops
its disease-producing powers. Cows.
sheep, pigs, cats, and, of course. rats
are affected by it, but the dog is said
to enjoy an immunity from the atten-
tions OF this bacillus. Gaining access
to the body, through the skin for the
most part, and probably through some
abrasion or wound. the bacilli make
for the glands, and as these swell and
enlarge, constituting what doctors call
'buboes," the disease has become
known as the "bubonic plague"
The feas which infect the rat are
also credited with a share in the diff
fusion Of the ailment, for, charged with
the microbes, these parasites will In

Ia More valuable Than Gold.

The price of platinum, one OF the
rarer of the precious metals, now ex-
ceeds that of fine gold, being s21 an
ounce. In 1895 the price was only $40
per ounce, but owing to the gradual in
crease in demand it has been steadily
rising. Platinum somewhat resembles
silver in appearance, but has rather
duller luster, 1t is extremely resistant
to acids and atmospheric agents tend
