the farmers to be out and preparing to

will be complete.
Mr.. Johnson adds to his statement

the governor decrees it the board or
commission will commence witnessing
experiments by the would-be rlze

A pefauIter.s Confession.

Cleveland, Ohio: George A. Rose,
the alleged defaulting cashier of the
Produce Exchange Bank which closed
its doors Jan. Z, made a confession on
Thursday evening to the county pros
ecutor, telling of his method of using
the banks money, of which he is said
to have lost $4,000. The confession,
while brief, is ample in explanation.
Rose said that he had done in his al
legged speculation and that his use of
the banks money began about six
years ago. He said that about three
years ago, when the loss had reached
only $4,000, an auditing committee
was appointed to go over the banks
books Rose had hoped that his short
age would bo discovered then, but at
the end Of week or SO of investiga.
tion the committee reported every
thing satisfactory with the banks at
fairs, Rose declares he lived within
his salary Of $125 month. and has
not got cent of the money lost to
the bank by his speculation.

No Remedy for Pneumonia.

Chicago, Ill: Drug treatment is
useless in cases of pneumonia. The
medical profession so far as medi-
clnes are concerned, can be of no as
slstance in the fight against this dis
ease. The sooner the profession will
acknowledge this to the public and set
to work to discover some specific to
save pneumonia patients, the better
for all concerned"
This startling statemant by Or. Ar
thur D. Beyan, who stands high in the
profession. has stirred UP the mem
bers of the Chicago Medical Society
at their meeting Several physicians
sprang TO their feet to protest against
this arraignment All had to admit,
however, that there is no definite rem
edy known, and they based their pro
tests solaly on the contention that
they might influence the patient ia
vorably by easing him somewhat and
by the moral effect Of their presence.

 Wilson said that he did not fire the hotel 'tentionally. but that he accidentally dropped a burning match In the hallway and when he saw the flame spring up. he ran instead of raising the alarm.

He has doubtless been in active service longer than any man now connected with the road. He was appointed in 1856 when the old M. and C., now the Southern Railway, was first built. and he helped to lay the track from Scottsbo-o to Huntsville. Mir. Sisk is now in his s3rd year, but looks as if he were not over 50. In all the forty-eight years that he was on the section he never lost a day nor was there a wreck on his division.
