METAL PNEUMONIA CURE.

French Doctor Claims Healing Prop
 critics For Gold and Silver. The New York Herald publishes the following from it's Paris correspondent: {:
 A sensational. communication was re- gently made to the Academic de Mede- cine by Dr. Albert Robin, who report ed his discovery of the fact that cer tain metals, such as gold and silver, very finely subdivided and employed in inflnitesimaI doses, exercise con- siderable effect on the vital phenom- ena.
 Reduction of the metals to the de- sired state is obtained by their cleo trical dissolution in water. The metal so treated acquires the property of de- veloping a force similar to that of a ferment. This peculiarity of the phe- nomenon has led Dr. Robin to use the term metallic ferments" in reporting his discovery.
 : His metallic ferments when employ ed in cases of pneumonia in hypoder- mic injections of from five to ten cubic centimeters of solution, containing from nine hundredths to two-tenths of a milligramme of gold, silver, platt- mum, etc.. produced a brusque deferves- cence of the malady in six cases out of ten before the seventh day.
 Thirteen cures were obtained in four teen cases thus treated.
 There is a complete similarity be- tween the natural favorable crisis in pneumonia and that produced by me tall1c ferments. These ferments, there fore, are capable of producing, aiding or hastening this natural favorable crisis.
 After one or two injections the tenn perature falls suddenly, almost always in a definite manner. The employment of these metallic ferments does not constitute the complete treatment of pneumonia, for complications and the predominance of certain symptoms ne cessitates accessory therapeutics, but great progress would appear to be made by their use in the treatment of this frequent and serious malady.

A Marriage, Club.

Four young men of Oaktown, Knox county, Ind, have entered into a writ ten agreement that they will be mar. ried by Sept, 5, 1905, says special dispatch from Evansville, Ind, to the St, Louis Republic. The agreement has been written and placed away under lock and key. for safe keeping and reads as follows:
 ''We, the undersigned, citizens of Oaktown, have agreed to enter into matrimony by Sept. 5, 1905, and the ones not married by that time must divide $50 each among the ones who were married" The club is the only one of it's kind so far as known in In- diana.

 5. He has steered no statesmen up against the commissioner.
 6. He has not told the commisstoner about his pedigree and distinguished rela- tives.
 q He has not told the commissioner how capable he (Wiggins) is and how deserv- ing of promotion.
 MT. Wiggins will be promoted today from $1, 900 to $1.2o0, and chiefs are re- quested to furnish the commissioner with with slrnilar record.
 My deputies, MT. Davenport and MT. Kelly, heartily concur.
 EFF. WARE, Commissioner.
 Of course this announcement made Wiggins target for everything dis agreeable at the hands of his fellow employees and the press. There was scarcely another man of MT. Wares rank in the service who would have cared to make such 8 publication There is not another who would have dared to make it. It was practical declaration of war against certain bad habits into which many of the old line clerks had drifted and which had given the headSof the bureau infinite annoy ance. But, uncomfortable as 1t has made life for Wiggins, it has already had it's effect in other directions. 1t has made the self prafsers, the states man steerers and the pedigree reciters ridiculous, So that no one is likely to take them seriously again till the Wig gins incident has been forgotten.
 Mr. Ware has in him the elements of which reformers are made He will leave his office with the respect and good will of a great many persons who have laughed over his peculiari- ties, for underneath most things that he has done, however marked their de- parture from the common place, there was a stratum of sound sense. He had merely taken quaint way of set ting it forth.

cotton raised chiefly from American seed. The seed is sown in April, and towards the end of September the ripe pods are picked and exposed in heaps for sale. In average years an acre yields 400 pounds, and gives net return of $27.50, considerably more than other crops.
 Several years ago there were 5000 acres under cotton, but the prospects for extending the crop are not encouraging, the area of land suitable for cotton-rais- ing being limited in extent, and the soil, though naturally ricih, having been ex- hausted by centuries of cultivation, needs much manuring.
 Kokand was the last of the Central Asian Khanates to fall under the Rus sian yoke. The capital was seized in 1876 by force under Skobeleff, who subsequently became the first governor of the Khanate which was annexed to Russia under it's ancient name of Far ghana. The town lies on the railway connecting Samarkand with Andijan, and has population of 82,000 It is in closed by wall 12 miles in circumfer- ence, surrounded, like many Central Asian towns, by beautiful gardens. The most noticeable building is the old pal ace of the Khans, similar in architecture to the mosques of Samarkand, The in- habitants of the provinces are chiefly composed of the toWn-dwelling Sarts and the nomadic tribes of Uzbecks and Kirghiz, men of swarthy complexion and short and sturdy in build They are great mutton eaters, and their favorite drink is brick tea. Their chief reIaxa- tions are music and dancing, especially on the festivals of their saints
 India, ages ago the great cotton-pro- ducing country, might add greatly to the amount of cotton now grown in her broad confines, and, to an American, 1t is a matter for wonder that Great Brit ain has been so slow to adopt the latest approved systems for the cultivation of this most important crop. Methods that have been followed for centuries still continue to obtain among the ignorant small farmers that generally grow cot ton in India. To be sure, recent ex- periments have been begun in this por- ton of King Edwards domain towards improving existing conditions. AgricuI- tural experiment stations have been established for the study of the needs of the cotton plant, but as yet no great

Members of House Laughed Over Re-
 tort to Representative sulxer.
 Speaker Cannon at a recent session of the house interjected the first bit of humor into the proceedings, says a Washington dispatch to the Philadel- phia Press.
 A resolution was pending to permit enrolment of two private bills left over from the last session. One of the bills related to New York.
 f Representative Sulzer, Democrat, of New York demanded the name of the representative who introduced the bill.
 ''Mr. Goulden of New York;" replied Speaker Cannon.
 "Oh, it's all right, then" said Mir. Sulzer.
 Silence is generally golden Speak CT Cannon remarked.
 The members laughed, and Speaker Cannon in low tones apologized to the clerks near him for the perpetration of the pun.

Just as the vagaries of the American cotton market have stimulated the culti- vation of cotton in various parts of the British empire. so also has Russia fol years past been endeavoring to render her mills independent of the United States, remarks, with sturdy pride, one of the prominent journals.
 The district chosen for the experi- ment, which district is here illustrated, is the Khanate of Kokand, and especial ly the valley of the zarafshan, lying to the west-the most fertile and best watered part of Central Asia Accord ing to the account given by Shrine and Denison Ross, in their standard work, The Heart of Asia large proportion of the zarafshan valley is now under

HOW THE corroN1s rRANsPoRTED.

progress has been made towards the goal of independence of American cot ton.
 It is in India we have the earliest mo- tice of cotton, 8 record of 450 B. c. referring to trees of India that bore as their fruit feeces more delicate and beautiful than those of sheep, and ref erence is made to the use of the tree fleece by the Indians in the manufac- ture of cloth. The Indian cotton is fa- nous, and even to-day with their primi- tive hand-looms the, natives turn out most beautiful fabrics. We get our word calico from India, a material that in the original was not the common stuH now known by that term. The material made in the city of Calicut-hence, cali co-was described as so fine you could hardly feel it in the hand; and the thread when spun could hardly be seen.

THE STRIKE VOTE.

AS the result of the vote taken
among the members of the butchers
union yesterday afternoon, peace be-
tween the packers and their old en-
ployes is as far away as ever it was
at the bitterest point in the strike A
small vote was taken, those favoringi
peace in Chicago evidently not voting
as strongly as they could have done
Tho radicals. who are to be found in
every organization seem to have poll
ed their full strength in favor of a con-
tinuation of the strike, while most of
the weakened strikers, who want to
go back to work. apparently stayed
away from the voting places altogeth-
er. The result was that the majority
of the votes cast was in favor of con-
tinuing the strike.
This vote has double meaning
While at first glance it might seem
that the strikers are determined to
win or else lose utterly, more care
full investigation shows that the vote
was small one. Those who voted
we're largely in favor of continuing the
strike. the ballots standing almost two
to one. But there are many men who
went out at the time the strike began
who are now working, having taken
their old positions when the failure of
the strike became evident These
men, probably ostracised by those who
remained away from the plants, or
fearing to approach the polling places
lest they be accused as strike break
ers. doubtless stayed away from the
voting places. 1t stands to reason that
they would have voted against contin-
uing the strike.
Reports of the voting say that out
side of Chicago, where the strike SEN
timent has not been at fever heat as
it has at the great packing center, the
majority favored calling it off.
This is the sentiment that is
no doubt, shared by the great
er portion Of the men who went
out at the first call and the vote taken
yesterday, instead of indicating that
the strikers are yet intent upon keep
1 ing up the fight, means more probably
that the greater number want peace.

called the strike on for the second
time after having reached settlement

ers after their second strike order
went into effect and the end has been
in sight ever since that time.

THE WONDER OF JAPAN.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. -
Emphatically the world wonders over
the marvellous and rapid development
of Japan-fifty years ago an unciviliz-
ed country, closed to the world and
fighting within herself with the wea-
pons of the middle ages. Today, with
a magnificent army, equipped with all
that modern skill and genius can pro-
duce or money can buy, she is driving
before her the best drilled and best
equipped troops Of Russia, boasting a
civilization and an enlightenment Sec
ond to none. The decisive battle of
the war in the far east is being fought
and so magnif1cently are, the Japanese
troops being handled by their officers
that all doubts of the ability Of Japan
to take care of herself on land as well
as on the sea are dissipated.
The battle of Lao Yang will rank
as one of the greatest Of modern times,
If not the greatest. With Russia de-
feated the supremacy of Japan will be
conceded in all capitals in the world.
With Japan checked in her efforts to
destroy the army of Kuropatkin it will
be only a postponement of the inevi-
table. In all respects Japan has the
whip hand and knows how to use the
whip.
While the end is not yet, all dis
patches indicate the success of the ia
panese. The whole world is awaiting
with the utmost interest the conclus-
i've news that must speedily come
without interference from the cen
sors. The fortune of war is uncertain
but victory is heavily inclining to the
banners Of Kuroki.

THE WHEAT CROP.

From everywhere come reports that
the wheat crop is ruined this year,
not only the Minnesota crop but also
the wheat of Europe. Rust has done
the damage in Minnesota and the
dry weather in Europe has made the
crop there a failure according to an
interview given to New York re-
porter by Senator Washburn of Mime
sofa on return from a visit across
the Atlantic. But it must be rem en-
bered that wheat is NOT the only pro-
duct of the great west. Other grains
are to be found in abundance. Corn is
the most important product and fortu-
nately the great bulk of this years
crop is practically out of danger. 1t
is estimated that the yield will be
2,500,0O0,000 bushels bumper crop
Cotton is the second crop in import
ance and indications are for a very
heavy yield, something below 11,5OO,-
900 bales. The boil wevil, despite the
big scare it produced, last year de-
stroyed only about three per cent of
the entire crop. Wheat comes next in
line and despite all the reports of dis
know best declare that after discount
ing all stories of damage a yield of
55O,0O0,000 bushels, and over is still
within the range Of possibility. Now
that the reports of crop losses are be-
ing sifted to the bottom it is found
that they have been somewhat exag-
gerated and that the spectators are
richer thereby.
In mis- weekly letter Henry Clews re-
views the condition of the crops and
notes that the railroads, whose infor-
nation as to crops is usually very de-
pendable, are preparing to handle a
great deal of business at harvest time.
This is one of the best indications of
what may be expected from the west

1.-THE OTHER FELLOWS JOB"

Burlington Hawk Eye.-There seems
to be a general dissatisfaction with
our own work. 1.-THE other fellows
job appeals to us tremendously. The
task at which we have worked for SO
long, somehow, loses it lustre appar-
emily, and we sigh for the position held
down by the other man. "If l were he.
l would would woodland SO on
the chorus of the dissatisfied runs. But
in reality If we had the other chaps
job we would not enjoy it one-half so
much as our own. We certainly would
not enjoy it any more. For is he not
dissatisfied? Ask him. He will tell
you what cinch YOU have and what
a dreary waste he is living In over the
line there. What If he We're you, you
might ask And he would paint a
sunset back of what you have learned
to term your dungeon, such as would
fairly blind anyone looking at it. The
work of the man across the street is

lending enchantment-but at most
ruinous rates. For if we come to facts,
we find all the pleasure melts out of
the connection which we supposed we
would have taken had we had the OPP

adjoining meadows, thrust their heads
