Multiplication of Evils.

Evils seem to be increasing There is appendicitis, ter example. The Lon don hospitals report that the number of appendicitis cases has been trebled in the last ten years. The hospitals in this country report like increases, but while the number of cases has increas- ed, the percentage of deaths has been decreased. In Guys hospital the in crease in a year was from ninety-nine to one hundred and seventy-one, but of the thirteen deaths in two hundred and seventy cases not one was surgi- cal.
 And then there is the hoollworm, that newly recognized factor in Amer ican anaemia, as it's discoverer, or rather promoter, styles it. Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles is the man, and he has recently discussed tho hookworm be- fore a medical society in New York. From his recent address it appears that blondes accumulate hoollworms faster than brunettes, and that miners, farmers, briclxlayers and children have more than other classes of people, simply because they come oftener in contact in daily life with the earth. He even expresses the fear that the subway and other excavations in New York will render the hookworm dis ease epidemic in that city The back wardness of our own city officials in keeping the city clean and in building crosswallxs may be due after all to the hookworm disease. They certainly come in contact with much dirt in this town, and some of them are blondes. This subject calls for, or at least suggests, consideration, with a view to securing prompter and bet ter municipa action and service.
 And then there is the boll-worm, which is headed this way from that nest of all ills. Mexico. In eight years the cotton-boll weevil has spread across the empire of Texas, and Is now at the Louisiana border, still moving eastward In the eight years mention ed the insect has destroyed in Texas annually from 235 ,00O to 500, ,0O0 bales, and the en.re cotton industry is face to face with difficult problem. The department of agriculture is endeavor- ing to stay the rayages of the pest, but it has not discovered a remedy that is applicable to all districts. All that the department has accomplished is summed up in Bulletin No. ,163, which can pc had on application to the department of agriculture.
 The insect ravaged eotton-growing districts in Mexico until cotton cultl- Yation was abandoned in them, and 1t was not until 1893 that it crossed the Rio Grande at Brownsville, and since that time it's ravages have been ex- tended, and its district now embraces 2S per cent of the cotton acreage in this country. Early maturity seems to be the only known remedy against the pest, and early maturity involves of course the earliest possible plant ing, and the best of care afterwards. All spraying methods, and all choices of seed, a. - Ineffective. Early ma,- ity is lne only known dependence in the fight against tne pest.

HE MADE A MISTAKE.

From the Winchester Democrat.
 An Augusta citizen bought an old silver pitcher for S1 on a credit from a lady of that place, and coined the pitcher into nineteen counterfeit dollars. He made the mistake of paying his debt to the lady with one of the dollars, which led to the discovery. He will probably know better when his sentence expires.

for his dignity and convenience, and. ig- noring the fact that the navy needs all the officers it has and many besides, petu- lantly applies for retirement and permits his naval secretary to resign. There Is consolation in. the thought that the navy will survive these losses, and suffer from them, perhaps, less than it would from some others, but that does not make the episode appreciably more pleasant ex- cept in the sense of making it appre- ciably less unpleasant. If all the officers to whom Admiral Crowninshield has sent unwelcome assignments had followed the course he now pursues, the service would now be in way bad indeed. But they didn't. They growled, in sailor fashion, and, having growled. they obeyed orders and did the allotted work. Which is ob- viously better for all concerned

DISCUSSED FROM
 TWO POINTS OF VIEW

ca have formed a consolidation in the na- ture of a trust" Trusts are seldom formed and never "floated on a falling market.
 And always it Is to be borne in mind that the publishers have to compete with other publishers who make 1t their aim to publish and distribute the Bible at cost, and who would, in the case of a copyrighted book be pirates" The Bible Is not copyrighted, although what pre- tends to be the latest supplement to 1t Is. and by Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy. It is issued in forms which make 1t the cheapest book printed. You can get the whole of the Bible from the Amer ican Bible society for 15 cents, and the British and Foreign society has an edi- tion that retails for sixpence. This latter society has In century issued something like a hundred and seventy-five millions of copies, counting all languages, and it's output last year was five millions, of which a third were in English. The Amer ican Bible society, seventy-five years old, has issued a million copies, apparently all n English, for every year of its ex- istence. This is the competition which the publishers for profit have to sustain. They sustain it so successfully that they are consolidating. and the extent of their bus mess may be judged from the fact that the printing done by the British branches alone gives employment to three thousand men. Moreover, these houses. on both sides, report that the demand for their issues Is steadily increasing.
 Upon the whole, the burden of proof that Bible reading is going out of fash ion is upon those who make the asser- tion. Nothing at all approaching a demon- stration has yet been. furnished by them.

7'tood Ever GLACIER.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1903.

The Glaciers circulation has passed
the / 900 mark. Based on the custom
ary estimate of five readers TO the sub
scrber, there are now 5000 Glacier
readers. OF thi. fact, advertisers should
take note. 1t means an increased value
TO their advertising. There is scarcely
a home in Hood River valley and the
Mount Hood settlement at which the
Glacier is not weekly visitor; and IN
the communities directly tributary to
Hood River it goes to a majority Of the
homes in Mosier, Nicolai and Viento on
the Oregon side of the Columbia, and
to White Salmon, Underwood, Chen
oweth, Husum, Pine Flat and the
Trout Lake country in Washington.
Thus the Glacier completely covers a
territory 200 square miles in extent,
and containing fully 5000 people. As
an advertising medium, there are few
newspapers that 50 thoroughly cover
the field as does the Glacier Hood
River merchants, in the matter of adj
verlising, are much more enterprising
than business men in the majority Of
towns of 200 population. They have
found it pays, and long ago learned to
regard it from business standpoint
and not in the light of charity To re-
ciprocate, we are glad to assure adver
tisers a growing circulation. This cir
cuIation is now 1,00s, and the sub
scrip.iun lists are always open tC
inspection. 1t is possible to do business
without advertising in the Glacier, but
success is much su or with II.

Campbell Bros. Gave a Good Show.
Over 8, 900 people saw the splendid
performance OF Campbell Bros. circus
in Hood River Monday afternoon, while
200 more men, women and children
attended in the evening. This was the
first circus in Hood River for years, and
Of course the attraction drew a large
crowd. The surrounding settlements
had been well billed, and it was surpris
ing to find so many people in the coun-
try. The show management had not ex-
pected such an attendance and addition
al sections OF seats had to be provided
after the crowds began pouring into the
mammoth tents.
The parade in the morning was a
feature never before seen in Hood River
Shortly after the business houses were
opened, people began entering the city
in hacks and wagons from the upper
valley, while boat loads we're crossing
every hour from the north side of the
Columbia 1t was circus day. OF course
the children couldn't go alone, so the
old folks, too. took a holiday. About
half past 10 the good country people
and town folks crowded the sidewalks
on Oak street 1000 strong. For blocks
it was perfect jam. The people good
naturedly jostled and joked. A man
from the circus rode up and announced
to the people to look out for their horses
on the side streets as the elephants we're
coming.
At this moment were heard the
strains of martial music, and red.
coated band hove in sight. Then came
the Shetland ponies, the ponderous ele-
phants, with Frank A. Cram, Always
in the Lead" placarded all over the big
beast. camels, dromedaries, Indian cows,
clowns, trick riders, donkeys, graceful
horses, and "coon" band closing up
the rear. The animal cages we're miss
ing, as the sand hill from the show
tents was too much of a pull to bring
them up town.
"How was the show?" "Good you
ought to go,' was heard on all sides as
the people returned from the afternoon
performance, and every one, who couldn't
get off to go then, went in the evening.
