Quinine in Typhoid Fever.

When the coal tar products were intro
duced as substitutes for quinine they
we rereceived with an enthusiasm which
only embittered the more the disappoint-
ment following the discovery that none
Of them is free from danger and even
the safest are only limited in their ap-
plicability in the treatment of fevers.
This realization of the shortcomings Of
these new antipyretics wrought a reac-
ton which resulted in a sort of therapeu-
tic nihilism, in so far as the drug treat
ment of the fever proper is concerned.
Quinine is generally no longer thought
Of as an all-around antipyretic, and"tis
used mainly as tonic or as the specific
against malaria. So grounded has be-
come the general belief that large doses
Of quinine can be useful only in malaria
that this drug is used for diagnostic pur-
poses, and any remittent fever which
yields to the administration Of large
doses Of quinine i pronounced at once by
some clinicians to be malaria, without
any examination of the blood, or, even,
in spite Of the absence Of plasmodia.
This view, however, is undergoing some
modification and the time-honored dui-
nine is again brought to the front as an
antipyretic by some German clinicians.-

THE WATCH is ALL RIGHT.
Left Hanging in Tree by Owner Since
Before the Civil War.

Hiram Voolfolk was born and reared
in Hopkins county, near Madisonville,
Ky. where he was farmer. Long be-
fore the Civil war, while at work in a
field he lost valuable watch. Diligent
search failed to reveal it's whereabouts
and it was given up as beyond finding.
Since then Mr.. Voolfolk has removed to
Kansas and the farm ne owned has
changed hands several times, now being
owned By Mr.. McGanahan. who while
clearing up woodland, where the oil field
once was, found the long lost watch
hanging by it's ring to the limb of a tree.
Mr.. Voolfolk was communicated with
and replied that he now remembered
hanging the watch there. The old time
piece was overhauled by a jeweler and
now keeps as good time as ever.

Supreme Court Announcement.

On July 9Th the Supreme Court will
make announcements of some of the
most important cases pending before
that tribunal. This will be the clos
ing date of the session and the jus
tices will leave for thei: vacations.
The court will probably stand ad-
journed not less than two months.
The court now has under consider
alton the appropriation bill case, and
upon its decision depends the question
of whether the Legislature must be
called in extra session to provide sal
aries and expenses of state Offices
One of the other very important
cases is that concerning the fire and
police board, which indirectly involves
other public officials holding over in
Office under the home-rule amendment
Whether the inheritance tax law is
valid is another important question
the court is considering. Upon this
depends the right of the state to col
lect large sums. notably more than
100000 from the Stratton estate.
If the Court of Appeals hands down
the written opinion on the question of
whether the city council or the county
canvassing board had the right to
make the official count in the charter
election this case will also be before
the court.

Commissioner Thatcher's Troubles.

Captain George w. Thatcher will un-
ooubtedly be removed as commissioner
in chief of the Worlds Fair Board. says
the Denver Republican of June Gath.
The article goes ON to say:
The governor Will not act until he
has given him a hearing. 1t is held by
the governor that the decision In the
notorious case in which Governor
Waite removed the Fire ard Police
Board means that hearing must be
held before the removal can be made.
]. A. Thatcher. the Denver banker,
who Is brother of Captain Thatcher,
called at the governors Office yester-
day He informed the executive that
Captain Thatcher was very Ill. and also
made an offer to make good the over
charges in expense accounts. The offer
was declined, because the full amount
was not rendered.
Governor Peabody would rot discuss
the question at length. but die say that
any one who makes such overcharges
as are charged against the commission
er-in-chief is not fit person to hold
such an important position. The gov
ernor said there could not be any ac-
tion until hearing is had.
The first offer that was made by Mr..
Thatcher for a settlement of the debt
was but little more than $50. When
this was refused another offer was
made. this time S226. The overcharge.
as calculated by. those who examined
the vouchers. is placed at more than
$3.50 Governor Peabody said he could
not agree that smaller sum would be
accepted.

admitted that an offer to settle had
been made. He said that this seemed
to him an admission of the charges,
and that no matter what amount was
returned to the state, the fact would
remain that the accounts had been i'm
properly kept. and that such actions
could not be tolerated.
At the bo>rd meeting in the after
noon the case of Captain Thatcher was
discussed at some length. 1t was de-
cided to leave the matter in the hands
