The Reed Smoof Investigation.

You can't mix politics and
polvgamy, said a red nosed man to
me the other day. He had the
careworn and discouraged air OF a
man who had made p close personal
study Of politics pretty much all
his life and had struggled on year
after year, trying to obtain little
political prefernent from first one
party and then the other, but, from
the agitated and alarmed appear
ancc Of his nose, judged, had
never been able to get more than
ten cents worth at a time. u see,
he went on, where they've been
having lot OF fun at Washington
with this Reed Smoot, of Utah.
Ever since congress opened they
had Reed walking around on one
ear. Every known society from
the Young Mems Sewing Circle Of
Cranberry, Wis, to the Heavyset
Ladies Glee Club of New York, has
fired in a petition against allowing

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.

The largest sum ever paid for a pre-
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August 30, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock SIP, 10000 and
was paid by party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
CATION of the specific Nov. 10, 1900.
They interviewed scores OF the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
oyer three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. %, eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
we'll or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent Of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
published and will Oe mailed free on ap
pication. Address JOHN J. FULTON

SEPTIC TANK A SUCCESS
Trustees Inspect One Recently In
stalled at Mute School.

The new septic tank recently con-
structed at the State Mute school Is
giving complete satisfaction. The
board of trustees of that institution
visited the school and were highly
pleased with the improvement in the
sewerage system, which makes the
conditions there more healthful.
SIT seems to me that the septic tank
will come into general use in cities, "
said Governor Chamberlain, after his
return from the Mute school. "By
this process all solid matters are con-
sumed and the overflow from the septlc
tank is clear and odorless liquid. L
believe these tanks should be used
even where there is good sewer con-
nections, for by this means the sewer
system can be made to carry a large
amount of refuse and the stream into
which it is turned will not be SO
polluted. In suburban districts where
there are no sewer connections the
septic tank will do much to improve
sanitary conditions. believe the
people should investigate the subject
and learn,the value of the septic tank. "

Port Arthur up to the present date
merely confirm the old lesson that de-
lenses adequately manned by resolute
troops cannot be taken by frontal at
tack. The Japanese are desperately
brave; they are especially good on the
offense. They started at Port Arthur
flushed with victory. They considered
the place as holy and and went at it
like crusaders. But they have come
nowhere near storming it. Strong forts
containing good men cannot be storm
ed.
The Russian tried their hands at
storming when they made a sortie at
Fort Else, but were driven back. The
condition as to Else Is not clear Ger
tainly the Russian do not hold it. but
neither, it seems, do the Japanese. It
is low lying fort, dominated by the
Japs from behind, and by the Russians
from in front Neither side can live
in it. apparently, and it remains I'M

The opening of the circum- Baikal

slxTY-TWO DIE IN WIRE OK.

Mistake of Engineer on Southern Kali
way Causes Great Loss of Life.
Sixty-two persons were killed and
12O injured (many of whom will diel
in a head on collision on the Southern
Railway nineteen mines east of Knox
Vile, Tenn, at 1918 Saturday morn
ing.
The engineer of the west bound
train, so investigation shows, was d1-
rectly responsible for the disaster. He
deliberately disobeyed orders. Why,
will never be known, for he was
crushed to death beneath his engine
and his fireman suffered like fate.
The crash came on sharp curve,
between high banks. The west bound
train was heavy one, it carrying the
sleepers from the east for Knoxville,
Chattanooga, and other Southern
cities The east bound train was light
er, consisting Of day coaches and chair
cars. 1t was going thirty miles an
hour, the other forty. The heavy
train crashed into the lighter one with
the force of giant missile hurled
from a catapult. And, by the irony of
fate, the engineer and the fireman of
the train at fault were the only ones
on that train to lose their lives, while
fifty three travellers were killed on the
train that had the right of way.
Expert railroad men who have seen
scores of wrecks unite in saying that
never have they seen such an ineXpres-
sibly thorough smashup. The two en-
gines and their tenders were simply a
mass Of scrap iron, from which yom-
tied Ak, smoke and steam. The light
coaches Of the local train were literally
knocked into splinters. Roofs were
smashed like crumpled envelopes, two
cars had both sides torn out, floors
were driven up and forced through the
ceilings, catching and crushing men,
women, and children as if in wise.

In some respects the strategical stu
alton of the armies in central Manchu-
ria is now similar to what it was six
or eight weeks before the battle Of
Iiaoyang. Telling and Mukden, the
Russian positions, now correspond to
Liaoyang, Haicheng and Tatchekiao
then. The Lao valley and the Mongo-
LIAM frontier lie to the west of the
Russians, as before, while to the east
are the same mountain ranges with the
Japanese forcing one after the other
the passes that command the most i'm
portant roads.
We still have the great weight Of
Oku's and Nodzu's armies grimly
astride the railroad, preventing any
possible expedition to 1.-The relief Of
Port Arthur" and ct the same time
ready to deal the sledge-hammer
blows that Will force the Russians still
farther northward when the time
comes. We still have kur0ki in touch
with the Russians on the east and do
ing the most important work over the
mountain trails
During the week General Kuropat-
kin has reported in repeated dispatch
es the progress of a part Of Kuroki's
force along the roads from Bentsia-
putze to Fu-ling and to the Fushun
mines, which lie respectively ten and
thirty miles east Of Mukden. Kaotou
Pass, where there was skirmish,
seems to be on one of these roads,
while an official Russian dispatch from
Hardin reports a fight on the south
bank Of the Hun River on the road
leading to Fu-ling. The Japanese are
said to have had two divisions here,
rather large number Of men, and to
