DESTROY HIS POWER.

The Fifth congressional district Of
Kansas is to be the scene Of an in
tensely interesting political fight which
may not have its elimination until the
year 1906, although it is already begin
ming to occupy the minds of the
powers that be" in that district
The fight will center upon Congress-
man Calderhead who viii be in the
race for reelection to congress next
year. although it is a more far-reaching
design which prompts the activity for
his defeat.
If Congressman Calderhead is not de
1eated at the next congressional election

Senator BurtOn i'm the senatorial fight
in 1906. 1t is thought that if Calder

at the next congressional election.
simply as one move in certifying his
own chances of being sent back 70 the
senate at the expiration Of his present
terra.
Both Congressman Calderhead and
Senator Burton have strong trends i1s

course at outs with "a faction in the
district. but both have strong friends
though they themselves are not on the

that Senator Burton is already laying

Burton win use against him.

friendly to. Calderhead, but holds the
office of United States marshal through
the appointment of Burton, and should
he not oppose Calderhead's reelection a
possibility of a friction between him and
Senator Burton would ensue.
In Republic county Senator Burtoa
has two strong friends, one of whom
may be embarrassed by this fight.
James Moser is an ardent Burton man,
and Amos Pierce is another. However.
Pierce hopes to get the appointment of
postmaster at Bellevine through the
grace of Congressman Calderhead,
which VIII probably place him in On
embarrassing position.
In Geary county Jake Cullen, who is
req ded as 1T" by those who are said
to know who the all powerful is, would
undoubtedly line uD with Calderhead.
Another feature which will prove in
teresting in Geary county is the atti-
tude of the business and representative
men of Junction City. 1t is wei known
that Junction City derives its support
from Fort Riley, and it is also well
known that Congressman Calderhead
has always had the interest Of the
Fort in his mind and that he has done
much for which Geary county must be
grateful Ana at the same Tune the
business men of Junction City want &c

F. L. Williams of Clay county wants

has the same aspiration and r. j.
Brock of Manhattan would probably
not turn down the place if the 0ppor-

does not want to be a candidate.
Charles Smith whose appointment as
postmaster at Washington has beer

himself as timber for the congressional
office.
In sizing up the situation then. il
seems that Marshall, Washington and
Ottawa counties are the strongest coun-
ties in support Of Calderhead while
Riley. Geary and Republic are almost
certain to be in his support
So the fight viii prove more than in
teresting. Unlocked for complications

tropical Diseases which has been carried on

DR.. Daniels who went to lrdia in 1885,
confirmed Prof Ross theory in every par
ticu!ar. DR.. stephens and DR.. Christopher,
after preliminary research in Central Africa
in 1898. proceeded in 1889 20 the w"s' coast
,f Africa and confirmed the EXTENDED pre-
vio,s. knowledge gained in India. They made
the Important discovery that While native
adult in such regions was in great measure
immune from malaria, the disease was ex-
ceednglv prevalent among native children,
and proved that in these regions the native
is the prime agent in the infection of Euro
peans. The segregation of whites and
natives and the avoidance of native huts
are potent means Of the prevention Of the
disease.
In 1901 the doctors went TO India. A.
Bengal and in the Puniab they found, "a
in Wes' Africa, that the native children have
the parasites in their blood, and they mutt
therefore be regarded as source of in
fcc;ion, They maintain that in any dis
trict the percentage of native children in
fectod with the parasite may br taken as
AN index of the previl"ncN Of malaria, or,
as they term it, Of malarinl endcm'city
They have also determined the connection
of this index with the presence or mar
ness of breeding places Of iplection-carrying
anopheles.
The doctors commenced their investiga-
ton OF blackwater fever in Central Africa
and then on the west coast Of Africa and
India. They concluded that the disease
was essentially of malarial origin and
was not due TO a different parasite. With
the beginning of the attack the malarial
organisms disarp from the blood, but
leave distinctive traces in certain features
of the blood corpuscles. The occurrence
of baciiwater fever IL coincdeHt with
high malarial endemcty. hence the pro-
phylaxis Of malaria is in tho main Identical
with that of blnckwater fever. In respect to
the proper Use of quinine, it i, pointed out
that the attack of the disease may be
brought on by tine injudicious Use of that

has served to put ali end to the sensational
talk OF the immediate resignation OF the
present Government and a general election
based on the issue of protection as against
free trade. Even should circumstances
arise which would render necessary the
partial reorganization of the Cabinet, it is
no part Of the purpose OF either wing of
the Unionist party to seek verdict from
the country upon the question within the
next few months.
Colonial Secretary Chambt rlain meant
precisely what he said when he advocated
q deliberate study of the question 10y the
politicians and the MASSES before they at

ents. including even Chancellor of the
Exchequer Richie, accept this suggestion.
1t Ia a safe ference that while public
opinion is still entirely confused upon the
subject, a systematic campaign will tend
greatly to strengthen Mr. Chamberlain S
popular support.
Thinking Englishmen in rapidly increas-
ing numbers agree with Lord Rosebery in
believing that the cause of Imperial unity
has reached a critical stage. The scnti-
mental bonds Of empire are already under
considerable strain and the VIII Die tendency
OF economic conditions is to increase that
strain The British Government is power

the decline of British CONNER ,ial slprem-

LONDON, June l3.-The Prlssian State
railways between Hamburg. Hanover and
Berlin will shortly conduct All interesting
~ompetition bet ween steam and electrically
hauled trains The leading locomotive
builders and electrical firms of Germany
have been invited NY the State to submit
designs and specifications Tor steam or
electric locomotives or motor cars capable
of making 100 miles an hour with u light
load. and 30 miles an hour on ordinary
traffic.
The tests will be a continuation of the
trials Of high speed electric trains on the
Prussian standard gauge military line
between Berlin and /ossen, which have
been arranged on account Of the decision to
increase the speed of trains between Ham
burg, Hanover and Berlin.
Elaborate reports have just Geell pub
lished of the Berlin to Xossen tests. II mut
be borne in mind, however thai this Is Il
line of only fourteen miles, ana is pTuctI-
cally straight, and without any curves
of a radius less than a $50 feet, and no gradi-
ents sleeper than one in 200, In the first
trials car built at Cologne and electri-
oally equipped by the Siemens- Ha!ske
COMPANY Of Berlin, attained for very brief
period a speed Of 100 kilometres, or nearly
100 miles an hour, but the tests were aban-
doned owing to the giving away OF the
rails They were too weak for the ear,
which weighed over ninety-two tons.
The second series of tests were Of Il car
designed by Chief Engineer Rechel twenty
tons lighter. The reduction in weight was
obtained by means of abandoning the
transformers on the engine and supplying
a line voltage Of 10000 volts directly to the
motors. This car did not attain IA speed of
more than sixty-fv" to seventy miles an
hour. II il believed that wheH the track
and roadbed is strengthened higher rates
OF speed will be poossibie.
Tho Times, commenting on this, "x-
presses the opinion that even then no par

Of express passenger traffic Bearing in
mind the nature of the Berlin -Zossen line,
the Times goes on to say;
Engineers are agreed that mean speeds
Of over sixty to sixty-fve miles an hour
are practically commercially Impossible"
on the present two-rail tracks. Owing
to the existing curves and the mixture OF
speeos, a critical stage has been reached
in railway locomotion. The Iiveliest inter-
est will therefore be taken in the working
of the monorail system. which is to b"
built between Manchester and Liverpool,
on which a speed of 10 miles an hour is
promised without fear Of derailm"nt,
Doubtless some special form Of track is

A new political organization TO be known

ess of formation in Brooklyn. Its projectors
intend not only to make It an important
factor in the approaching mayoralty cam.
paign, but to eventually press its claim
for recognition over the Willoughby street
machine rs the regular organization. A
month ago the men at the head Of the
movement hired headquarters in the build

fercnces have since been held.

ent Democrat for Mavor, and among the sup
posed available candidates discussed have
beer, Comptroller Circuit, Justice Gaynor and
Lewis Nixon. The new organization will
be formally launched within few weeks.
