A MILK EPIDEMIC.

OF the typhoid epidemics traced to
milk, one of the most typical was that
at Springfield, Mass, where, in July
and August of 1892. one hundred and
fifty cases occurred concentrated in
one OF the most beautiful suburban
districts OF the city. The investiga-
ton, by Professor w. T. Sedgwick
showed that the path Of the pestiicnce
was coincident with the route of cer-
tain milkman. It was next found that
portion of his product came from a
farm where several cases Of typhoid
fever had occurred during the preced-
ing summer. Shortly before the out
break of the epidemic the discharges
from the patients were spread upon
n tobacco field. Manure from this

TOXIN AND ANTI-ToxIN.

Pasteur, the great French savant,
founder of the sciences of bacteriolOgy
and preventive medicine, proved in
the first place that the epidemic dis
ease are due to minute living organ
isms, plants and animals, and that for
each definite disease there is spe-
cific micro-organism. This was the
great fundamental fact. Later II be-
came evident that these microscopic
parasites cause disease by certain
chemical poisons which they produce
called toxins. In many cases the
micro-organism, II grown in culture
tubes outside the body, will produce
the same toxins; after being separated
from the living germs which produced
them these substances will produce
all the symptoms of the disease
when injected into an animal body.
The body at the beginning of an at
tack of fever Is not however passive
It's cells react against the poisons in
troduced, and struggle ensues. the
end of which is life or death. the
fighting being purposeful and definite.
The body cells secrete specific chem

neutralizing or rendering harmless the
particular toxin we call the anti-toxin,

RATE ON COAL
Railroads viii Face Gigantic Task Of
Moving a Million Tons
Northward.
Local ROADS WILL SHARE BURDEN.

Railroad managers will be asked to
make an emergency rate for 100000
tons of soft coal from the mines of
Ohio and Pennsylvania to the far
northwest.
That portion Of the country lacked
100000 tons of having its orders
filled when navigation closed. A mil
lion tons will be required to prevent
actual suffering. The lakes are closed
for the winter, and the coal must go
by rail. The prevailing rates from
Pittsburg to Duluth are prohibitive,
as they would make the coal so ex-
pensive that sales would be impossi-
BILE.
A local official of the w. & L. E.
road said that he had not heard that
an emergency rate had yet been given,
but it was probable that such thing
would be done soon. All the roads
will be expected to share as equally
as possible the burden of carrying the
coal.
The railroads will have to face a
gigantic undertaking in trying to
in the dead Of winter. A million tons
will fill $4,000 cars. each carrying 20
tons, and will make $500 trains of 20
cars each.
The operators do not expect to get
out OF trouble all winter, but they
claim they can keep their coal so
we'll distributed that no section will
suffer If the railroads can maintain
the. distribution during cold weather
They will refuse to allow anyone to
accumulate reserve stock.

General Boguslawski's sentiments
on the question at issue were publish
ed in the Tagliche Rundschau. In
the article he urges that the with
drawal Of the blockade at this stage
would show singular weakness and
after alluding to the late Prince Bis =
marck's expression that the Monroe
doctrine was a great piece of impu-
dence," the general continues:
That was true word. America is
divided into many states. In varieties
of race and language she is hardly
second to Europe. How can one state
assert that it has the right of inter-
ference and protection over an entire
continent, and that it will tolerate on
ly under certain conditions any action,
however just, of European nations
against an American state? A fur
ther question is how it happens that
this doctrine, set up eighty years ago
by an American statesman. has been
able to justify itself in fact. with abb
solutely no justification in the law OF
nations?
When the United States feels her.
self threatened through any occupa-
tion of territory, of course she has the
right, like any other nation, to raise
protest, and If necessary employ
force. But then there must be no
talk of even an apparent recognition
of the Monroe doctrine as an interna-
tional law principle on the part of
the European nations If the latter
act otherwise they will soon feel the
thumbscrews which they put on
thereby.

WITHIN Clutches
OF CANTON POLICE
His Period Of Liberty
Was Cut Short BY Re-
capture Monday.
WILL GO BACK TO REFORMAToRY.

Through the efficient work of the
police department irwin Tindall, the
man who escaped from the Canton
police at Massillon Sunday evening,
was captured about $3.50 o'clock Mon
day evening at the home Of his
brother at the corner of Washington
avenue and Strubble street, in this
city.
The police learned that Tindall
would come to Canton Monday even
ing to get his clothes and close
watch was kept. When 1t was learn
ed that Tindall was at the home of
his brother Officer Rifle went to the
house and put him under arrest. Tin
dali offered no resistance. A tele-
phone call was sent to the police sta
tion in regard to his capture and the
patrol was sent to the Tiriah home
with Sergeant Wielandt and Officer
Fred McCloud.
Tindall is confined In the prison and
he will be held until Agent Sotzon OF
the Mansfield reformatory comes to
this city to take charge OF him. Word
of the capture has been telegraphed

1t is probable that arrangements
will be made so that the Cleveland
authorities will not hold Tindell's
bondsman responsible and will release
him from paying the $500 bond. The
charge against the prisoner in Cleve-
land is not serious. simply that of
being suspicious character. He was
arrested at a place frequented by
thieves and crooks on Ontario street
Tindalps father called at the police
station Tuesday morning and was ad-
mitted to see his son. The old gen.
tleman wept when he saw his son be-
hind the bars.
Mary Evans, who was arrested by
the authorities as an accomplice in
assisting Tindall to escape. is still
confined at the city prison.

Sliding doors, controlled by weights,

There are doors alongside the haymow.
When filling the NOW we leave space
of four feet between the hay and the
sides of the barn, which enables us to
throw the hay into the racks when feed

BATTLES WITH BUGS,
State Agricultural DEPARTMENTS Ac.
lively Fighting Insect Ene-
niles of Farmers,

Reports from the wheat harvested in
Ohio this year indicate that the ravages
of the chinch bug have been quite severe
and that the value of the yield will be
materially cut down. Scientists in
agricultural schools are urging the farm
ers 10 fight this destructive insect by the
distribution of species of fungus which
attacks and is fatal to the bug, says the
Toledo Times.
The activity of the state agricultural
departments is enlisted in developing
means of fighting these insect pests of
the farmer, gardener and fruit grower.
When the country is less thickly settled
and wild birds and animals more numer-
Gus, the question of insect pests is not
so serious as it now is. 1t is common
thing at the present time to see whole
orchards blighted and sometimes de-
stroyed by some new foe which COM
merce and travel have imported, or by
an old enemy which civilizations tam
pering with the balance of nature has
set at liberty
Few OF these plaques which devour
and destroy the work of the husbandmen
are invulnerable. Our agricultural
schools and colleges and experiment sta
lions are studying and investigating
these pests, and there are few whose
ravages they cannot arrest. The farmer
Is taught by the practical work of these
schools how best to plant, and where and
when. Some ground, it is learned, is
liable to one plague, and change OF
crop is advisable; other soils require diff
ferent special treatment to prevent
these attacks. Various washes, sprays,
powders or fumigations are needed to
save the plants from their insect foes.
