A PROVE ALIGL
Belief Is That Mcdonald Was Not Con
nected With SchaFer Murder.

Bedford, Ind, Feb. 13.-Few people
believe that James Mcdonald has any
connection with the murder of Sarah
Schafer. That the local officials are in
doubt is evidenced by the fact that the
board of inquiry has been ordered to
reconvene tomorrow. The order to re-
open the Investigation resulted from
the receipt of information concerning
another mysterious stranger who has
been in the city.
A grocer, whose store is more than
sever blocks distant from the alley
where the murder was committed, has
informed the police that James Nc
Donald was in his store at $50 o'clock
on the evening of the murder, and re-
manned for some time purchasing gro
ceries and supplies. This story is COR
roborated by the grocer's wife.
Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 12.-Governor
Durbin has addressed q message to
Sheriff Smith of Bedford, directing that
Mcdonald be removed from the Jeffer-
sonville ~reformatory with only such de-
lay as may be necessary to perfect ar
rangements for the protection of the
prisoner. The governor states hat ii
would be better for an official having
an accused man in custody to stand
his ground against the Of pub
lie outbreak with the announcement
that he proposed, with the assistance Of
a sufficient force of armed deputies, to
maintain the supremacy of the law,
and If attacked to infict UGH pepalties

Dark Gowns in Favor.

Harper's Bazaar: AS is always the case
Jhen light colors have been fashionable
for some time, there is a revolution in
favor of dark ones, so this year there will
be many dark costumes worn. But there
are some charming browns and greens
and puppies and one shade of red in the
American Beauty rose color, and all Of
these are thought very smart.
The black cloth or black velvet costume,
however, or the very dark brown, will
be the most popular of any, and the same
c~oloring is carried out in the afternoon
and evening wraps. But In these days so
many gowns are requisite, and also so
many wraps, that it would seem possible
to the woman of wealth to have all the
different colors in a winter outfit.

TT HE season of catching cold is upon
US. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh,
the most common and dreadful Of dis
eases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follow sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline ono to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
a cold all the while seemingly, more OIL
less discharge from the nose. hawking
splitting, frequent clearing of the throat
n~ostrils stopped up, full feeling in tn,
head and sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop.
erly used never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured
Of chronic catarrh by a single bottle OF
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the %catarrl
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer
able of catarrh Of twenty years stand.
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter.
nal remedy for chronic catarrh i'll ex.
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat al
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

Bristow's office, and sal at hat time
he regarded Bristow as his personal

to avoid answering any questions
touching his personal affairs.
The oil business was reviewed again

CLEVE RNESS OF laps.
Nsr;al Official Disguised as a Mental
Went to Port Arthur and Lo-
Gated the Big Ships.

New York Sun Cablegram-Special 10 The
Tribune.
London, Feb. 13.-According to a tel
egram from Che Foo, the %torpedoing of
the Russian warships at Port Arthur
was done, not by the Jap torpedo boats,
but by the cruisers Chite, Kasagi, TAX
asago and Yoshino, which launched the
torpedoes just outside the limit of the
Russian searchlights. The Russian
satlors are said to have been paralyzed
and ~disorganiZed by the surprise.
Another Che Foo dispatch quotes the
Japanese onsul there as saying that
when the war office was officially in
formed that the Japanese minister at
st. Petersburg had withdrawn he char
tered a British vessel and went to Port
Arthur and Dalny to take off the ref
uges. Every facility was given him
by the Russian officials. The uuaran-
tine was removed and the consul en-
tered Port Arthur in his official dress.
He was saluted by soldiers, and invited
by high officials to dinner, where the
toast was proposed that peace might be
restored. After leaving Dalny he en-
countered the japanese fleet about
eighteen miles from Port Arthur.
A high Japanese naval commander
Travelled as a mental in the consuTs
train and noted the exact position of
the Russian ships. He also noticed
that they did not have steam UP and
were not keeping a sharp lookout. AS
soon as the Japanese fleet was sighted

TUBERcuLIN INFECTION.
New Theory Regarding Increased I'M
munity Against the Disease.

munity Against the Disease.
New York Herald: The discussion
on the possible preventive measures
against the spread Of tuberculosis, al
ways interesting n instructive, Is
likely to assume a somewhat new as
pect in view of the recent declarations
by Professor Won Behring regarding a
probable increased immunity against
the disease.
In bolstering his theory of prophy-
laxis by a species OF vaccination, he
makes some sweeping and startling
statements bearing strongly against
present notions regarding the manner
in which the malady Is propagated, and
also as to the comparatively limited
number of adult persons who are safe
from the disease.
AS an offset to hereditary predisposi-
ton to the disease, he maintains hat
from 80 to 95 per cent. of the
ity Is already infected from infancy by
means or tuberculous milk, and Ia
with this large number a latent and
lurking enemy awaits only the oppor-
tunity to awake.
He explains this condition by as
Stunning that h infantile intestinal
mucous membrane is, by it's sieve-like
construction, peculiarly calculated to
absorb the tubercle bacillus, and that
later in the course of the adult de-
velopment of the membrane such a pc
culiarity does not exist. In other words,
If the child can escape early infection IL
is highly probable that 1t will remain
immune for the remainder of it's life.
Practically speaking, however, the
result is almost the same as If the
waiting victim actually inherited a pre-
disposition to the ailment. In either
case an exciting cause is the only thing
necessary to allow the malignancy of
the waiting germ to assert itself.
If this state of affairs can be proved,
1t Will tend to upset many OF the pres
ent views concerning the infectious
character of the tubercle bacilli, es-
p~ecially In connection with the mere in
halation Of the microbes by previously
healthy individuals.
In any event, while arguments may
wax hot on both sides, we can be rea-
sonably contented to await any con-
cluslon that may antagonize the pres
ent scare concerning the universal in
fe~ctiousnesS Of the ubiquitous bacillus.
1t is sad to believe, however, that so
many of us may carry in our systems
the seeds of the disease, but If only a
comparatively small number of them
are capable of being fructihed we may
yet keep actual mortality statistics to
their old level.
Whether the learned professor is
right or not. the present methods OF
treating consumptive patients are not
likely to be altered. for no matter how
the disease ultimately attacks the VIC
TIM the business of medicine and n.y.
glene is to fight it with fresh air, sun
shine, good food, and these means
require no new theory for their proved
Nficacy.
