Bio Interest.

A remarkable case of usury has
been brought to light in Denver, Col.
The Associated Press says: "Thos.
sforter, all employe of the Union Pa.
cific railroad in court recently, asked
to be freed from peonage and invol-
untary servltude, to which he has
been subjected by the Star Loan Co.
Porter complains that because he bor-
rowed $50 in 1900 on which he has paid
back $40, he has been forced to assign
his wages for life and, according to his
computation, he will never become
cleared of that loan of $50. Porter,
seeing that he was going deeper into
the mire, went into the bankruptcy
court. The claims of the Star Loan
company against him were scheduled
as portion of his liabilities. On the
18th of August he secured his dis
charge, absolved from all of his debts.
The loan company did not accept this
discharge and as soon as another
months salary was coming to Porter,
the life assignment was filed with the
railroad company and the money was
paid into court by the employer. The
loan company AYERS that Porter still
owes it $142."

ASHAMED OF OLD MISSOURI.
Two Counties Want to Secede to Arkansas
Since Election.

Because Missouri went Republican
at the lest election nearly 200 farmers
of Dunklin county, which lies in South
ern Missouri, on the northeast boun-
dairy of Arkansas. have signed petl'
tion asking the State Legislature to
pass an act allowing the county TO Sc
cede and be annexed to Arkansas.
1t was not until very lately that the
citizens of the interior of the county
learned that the State has gone for
Roosevelt. Job Turner, James Crab
tree and s. P. Williams, farmers near
Hornersville had petition drawn stat
ing that since Missouri had gone Re
publican resp ectable men could not
acknowledge citizenship in the State
Without shame and asking that the
legislature enact such laws as would
allow the county to transfer all allegl-
ance to Arkansas.
A similar petition has been started
in Pemiscot county, and the two coun-
ties, 1t is said, will make joint move
for transfer.
In 1900 the vote of Dunklin county
for Bryan was 2.711 and for Mckinley
considerably less than half that num-
ber. This time the county cast only
l ,12S votes for Parker and 995 for
Roosevelt. In 1900 there were only IL
votes in Pemiscot county for McKin-
y.-BaltimOre Sun.

Sciencelvs Pneumonia

Of every 100, 900 persons who died ir
this country, over 10000 are claimed
by pneumonia. Consumption has beer
called 1.-The great white plague" and
is dreaded above all other diseases, but
the close race made by its sistel
scourage is startling.
The latest reliable statistics for the
country as whole are those of the
census of 1900. and in the year closing
with the beginning of the census court,
there had been 1O5,971 deaths from
pneumonia. while consumption had
scored only 5000 more, OF III ,053.
Is it .strange, then, or in the least
surprising, that ply hysicians and sanitar-
ians are sounding note of alarm and
ceasing to regard tuberculosis as the
one great enemy to be met and battled
with?
The disease is such an insidious foe
to the race and does its work 80 quick
ly that it has not been as successfully
studied as some others that are less
dreadly. The medical profession is
fully aroused, however, and will prose-
cute vigorous campaign this winter.
Minneapolis is one of the cities asked
to assist in the collection of data, and
every other large city in the country
will contribute to the suppy of infor-
nation. There will be laboratory
work at Boston, New York and Phil
adelphla, and every hospital in the land
will be expected to make reports of
field work.
Thus science hopes to obtain light on
the cases, manner of transmission,
conditions that seem to favor the pre-
valence of the disease, as we'll as those
most marked where it is least preva-
lent.
Much more deadly than smallpox,
and perhaps as easily communicated,
is pneumonia, yet cities and states are
up in arms against smallpox, commu-
mites 90 into panic over its presence.
and it Is popularity regarded as the pest
of all pests. Will until the last few
years pneumonia has been viewed with
more or less Indifference by all save
the medical fraternity.
This is the proper season for study
of the disease. as it begins its ravages
with the beginning of winter. 1t is
also the right time to take warning,
but not to take fright. Pneumonia is
a preventable disease to the extent
that the chances of contracting it are
reduced in proportion to the care TAX
en- to keep the system in good tone and,
so far as possible, avoid exposure to
wet and ld.-Minneapolis Times
