HERE IS HOPE FOR THE
VICTIMS OF HAY FEVER

Announcements is made that hay fe-
yer can be cured by inoculating ami
mails with a poison or toxin extracted
from the pollen of flowers. and then
injecting the serum obtained from
the animals blood into the patient
The discovery was made by Prof. Dun
bar, of Hamburg, Germany. after
years of research, and it disproves
popular medical theory as to the ma
ture of the disease.
The six or eight weeks of violent
sneezing called hay fever" are vari-
ously blamed on the summer heat
exhalation from grass and new mown
hay, mechanical irritation by pollen
from grasses and other plants, and
recently to bacteria.
According to DR.. Dunbar, the dis
ease is caused by the pollen of grass
es. put not by mechanical irritation
He has extracted from the pollen a
poison or toxin. solution of which
dropped into the eye or nose at once
produces the characteristic symp-
toms of hay fever. The discovery sug
gested treatment by the serum meth
cd, and DR.. Dunbar set to work to
produce a curative serum by inOcul'
ating animals with pollen toxin.

GOV. YATES 5 PER CENT.
ASSESSMENT is REVIVED

The per cent "slush fund
which threatened the republican or
ganization with disruption in the state
campaign in 1902 and formed the
chief issue in the senatorial contest
among William +. Mason, \. j. Hop
kns and Charles q. Dawes. mas been
revived. September salaries of all
state employees who are drawing $50
a month or more were placed on the
block and ) per cent will drop into
the Yates campaign basket.
The report that the republican as
sessmcnt bureau has resumed bust
ness comes from the southern Illinois
penitcntiary at Chester and the asyl-
um for the criminal insane at Anna.
1t is also reported on reliable au-
thority that the assessment will be
accumulative and that back taxes
for nine months will be enforced
within three months or three regular
pay days.
Owing to the scandal which arose
over the 'slush fund a>year ago col
lections were discontinued November
80 Since that time the Yates finan-
ciers have been marking time, but
with the approach of gubernatOrial
campaign in which Gov. Yates will be
compelled to make fight for political
existence, the necessity for funds has
become acute.
Seven or eight months separate the
governor from his political fate, and
evidence is ample that job-holders who
find it convenient to surrender per
cent of their state income Nov. so to
date and throughout the campaign
will be succeeded by republicans who
are willing to meet the governors
terms.
Politicians assembled at Carbonate
first learned of the ''slush fund" re-
vival in complaints emanating from
the Chester prison, OF which Gen. j.
i. Smith, of Clay county is warden.
Gen. Smith is reported to have carried
out the governors order in no uncer-
tain language. and the tax idea does
not seem to find favor among Egyp-
tians vino hold jobs at Chester. Near
ly all of Gov. Yates calculated strength
is in southern Illinois. and the re
turn of the tax gatherers is not like
~ to stop the hemorrhage caused by
Lowden, Warner, Hamlin and Rose
cuts in Yates territory
In the Hopllins-Dawes-Ma sena-
torial fight it was estimated the ''slush
fund" aggregated 100000 a year, but
the figure probably was excessive, as
all employees under $50 were exempt
from assessment. There is little
doubt. however. that the proceeds of
the former fund were devoted almost
exclusively to the personal interests
of Gov. Yates, and the desperate situa-
tion in which the governor now finds
himself is taken to mean that the
next ''slush fund" Will be distinctively
Yates fund.

the new schedule Of rates adopted by
the supreme lodge of the order. Rep
iesentatives CT the 900 lodges in Iii

they should be called on to pay prac-

are now paying for life insurance.

Coal and wood are full of cost

And the folders in the shock
And the sheep are in the flock;
Are the ulsters out of hook?

Yes, the pumpkins white, b'gosh,

Sends his shafts through ozone mellow
Should the pumpkin, big and yellow,

! tinuing under the old method without
receiving any help from the supreme
lodge or adopting the new rate and
guaranteeing to- its members full
payment of all death losses.
There were able advocates Of the
new schedule at the meeting. Among
those who spoke in favor of the SUI
premc lodge plan we're: William II.
Miller, of St. Louis, supreme master
workman; c. II. Eich, grand master
workman of Illinois: NJ IL. Sackett.
of Mcadville. Pa, supreme recorder;
j. G. Tate. of Denver; IL. G. Sessions,

New Schedule Radical
The new schedule of rates is the
most radical in fratcrnal insurance.
It raises the organization to the level
of the odd line" companies in the
sense that it places life insurance ON
practical business basis. The essen
itial feature Of the change, as explain
ed by Supreme Master Workman Mil
Ter. is the determination to take care
of the older members.
Mr.. Miller informed the representa-
tives of the Illinois lodges that the
certificates of the entire 400, 900 mem
bers Of the order had been valued
and that it had been found that Up
to Jan. I, 1904. there would be Il de-
ficicncy of $3O.OOO,OOO. Of which $685.
000 was already due to the different
grand jurisdiction from the guaranty
fund of the supreme lodge, which
would be further increased to $1,000
600 by the first of January. 1904
II wish to further inform you said
Supreme Master Workman Miller,
that the deficiency for the entire mem
bership based upon the present rates
would be $14S,OOO. O0O-that is, if we
continue upon the same plan that we
are operating at present. The mem
bers over So years Of age by reason of
carrying them at present rate would
cause a deficiency of $14S.000,0O0
which. of course. would bankrupt the
! order
Test of FraternaI Principle.
While the Ancient Order of United
| Wormen has not accumulated Il re
serve fund, the order is undertaking
to test the strength of the fraternal
principle by placing the burden OF
carrying the older members on the
younger.
The Ancient Order of United Work
men was instituted in 1868 in western
PENNSYLVANIA. With the close of this
month the order has paid in deatl
losses S133,OOO. 900. For some years
the monthly death payments have av
craged S1,00O,OO0.

HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Santa Fe Pleased With Results
of Petroleum as
Fuel.
EFFECTS SAVING IN EXPENSE
Company Is Preparing to Open New
Fields and Will Extend
Use.

SO-successful has the Santa Fe been
in its experiments with oil as fuel for
it's locomotives on its western lines
that another purchase of oil lands is
being made, and it is estimated that a
saving of fully $1,00O,OOO in the cost of
fuel will be shown in due time on the
books of the company.
The company made its first expert
ments with oil several years ago and
extensive purchases of oil lands were
made in Texas and California Many
| of the locomotives in service west of
Albuquerque, \. NJ, were fitted out
with oil burners at considerable cost,
but the saving in the cost of fuel fully
warranted the expenditures. \ com
pany was formed at that time and the
Santa Fe received unlimited quantities
of oil in territory where the scarcity
of coal made the operating of loco
motives matter of great expense.
1t is now announced that
the company had decided still further
to equip its engines with oil-burning
devices, and it is probable another
company will be formed for the pur-
pose Of purchasing and operating cx-
of the Santa Fe system.
For several weeks W. c. Nixon, one
of the executive officials of the Santa
Fe, and Mr. Goodrich, its oil expert,
have been engaged in examining oil
lands in the vicinity of .Ardmore, l. r.
They are negotiating for 1000 acres
of this class of property and will sink
wells to obtain the oil. At the pres
ent time the roads will purchase only
improvements on the land and secure
mineral and agricultural leases until
the land is placed on the market. The
officials say that the oil product will
be used for fuel
VIII Use It Further East.
When the Santa Fe first entered the
oil fields of Texas and California and
supplied its locomotives with oil-burn-
ing devices, it was stated that nearly
$1,000, 900 would be saved in fuel on
the lines west of Albuquerque. Il ter
titory in which coal is exceedingly
scarce. 1t is now believed that the
company will make use of oil as fuel
on its lines east of albuquerque as
far as Kansas City. 1t is not improb-
able that in the course of time the
locomotives on all lines of the sys-
tenn will be equipped with oil burners.
While the work of remodcling is de
cidedly costly, the saving in fuel more
than offsets the outlay. 49,
Aside from the saving in the cost
of the fuel, the use of oil on locomo-
tive is great advantage to the en-
gineer. When coal is used on heavy
engines such as are used on the San
ia Fe most of the time of the fireman
is taken up in keeping the firebox
properly filed. and for this reason he
is unable to be of much assistance to
the engineer in looking for signals.
On some of the coal-burning roads
third man has been supplied to assist
the engineer in looking out for sig
mails.

ANOTHER DELAY
IN CUBAN TREATY
Approval Of the House Nee
essary to Make 1t
Effective
END OF EXTRA SESSION IN SIGHT

Washington, March 13.-Thcre we're
important developments yesterday re
garding the treaties pending In the
senate. 1t was decided TO vote on the
Panama Canal treaty on Tuesday next,
and the Cuban reciprocity treaty was
reported to the senate by the com
mittee on foreign relations. The end
of the work for which the extra ses'
sion was called therefore is in sight
The agreement on the canal treaty was
arrived at soon after the senate as
sembled at noon and without discus
sion of moment The terms had been
made satisfactory to Senator Morgan
before the request to fix day for a
vote was preferred by Senator Frye,
so the former made no objection.
The Cuban treaty, with tho various
amendments agreed on by the com.
mittee on foreign relations, then was
reported by Mr.. Cullom, and at his re.
quest II was read for the information
OF the senate. The reading was fol
lowed by a formal request by Mr.. Cul-
lom to take up the Cuban treaty for
discussion, but while this was denied,
still the greater part of the session
was devoted to It, The amendments
made include In addition TO those OF
last session a provision requiring the
approval of the house Of representa-
tives to make the treaty effective.
The adoption of this amendment is
a distinct Democratic victory. and is
the first fruits of Senator Germans
leadership. It insures, It is believed,
the ratification Of the treaty at the
present session of the senate, although
It viii not go into effect until after the
house has adopted a resolution, ex-
pressing It's concurrence in the tariff
reductions provided in the treaty.
This. It is expected, will be one of
the first acts of the next congress
when It meets in December.
Individual Democratic senators will
offer a number of amendments to the
canal treaty. and they will unite in
pressing some of them, but II they
should be voted down, as seems likely,
a number Of the Democrats will vote
for the ratification OF the treaty.
The progress made yesterday leads
many senators to predict an adjourn.
ment by the close of next week The
action OF the committee on commerce
in postponing a vote on DIR. Crum's
nomination, which also took place yes
terday. is generally accepted as dis
posing OF that matter for this session
